Honestly, my ability to post has been steadily decreasing ever since the semester started. I'm entirely willing to keep going, but realistically, I know that I'm a slow asshole, and if nothing else, I'm dragging down the pace here.

Alright, Ladies and Gentleman, here's where we are as of today,As it stands, Dervish and I are deeply disheartened by the lack of posts in the IC as well as the lack of activity and banter in the OOC. All those that are willing to carry on the RP are encouraged to voice their willingness below, but, realistically, if your only part in doing so is saying that "you're here!" and nothing else, then mine and Dervish's hope in the RP will continue to wane. The state of the RP tells us that if there is not some kind of explosion in posts and activity in the OOC then it will continue to stagnate and simply die with a whimper, perhaps, at the most, it will go out like VotS, the first installment of this RP some of you briefly participated in that died after a period eerily similar to the one we are in now.Again, feel free to voice your willingness below, and anything we should know about if things are going downhill or you are busy in real life. We already know Jenno, Nyx and Fallout have their reasons to be on hiatus, and we respect that. Help us in assessing the situation the RP and its players/cast are in so we may a)keep it alive or b) pull the plug on the operation and focus on different RPs or aspects of all of our lives.

Alright, time to knuckle down; here's what's up.My life outside the guild is picking up faster than I've ever had to deal with in my sheltered existence (girls, work, meeting my dad etc.) and I don't know how to manage my time. I try to check into the OOC every once in a while with some anecdote or piece of writing I think might stir something up (it never does) but as for actual posts they don't cross my mind until it's too late at which point I cringe at even checking the Guild because I know what a shit player I'm being which makes me cringe more the next time and it continues. It's why Cub disappeared so often last time around.My two cents on the situation is a final push, sink or swim before Winter. I say round up who's willing to keep going, merge the groups with a timeskip and set it at a place in Hammerfell with a single clear directive. I know it's a bit extreme but it seems like every time we branch off into groups (Palace of Kings in the first one as well as the bandit cavess and the Goblins and Scorpions now) something goes awry. I say one cohesive group and if the characters son't approve, good! Let them complain, plot to leave, rebel, whatever. More people, more interaction, more story.That's what I think.

A big problem, I think, is that instead of interacting with each other's characters, a lot of you seem to have decided to turn a bunch of NPCs into pseudo player characters that your character almost solely interacts with.

Duly noted, everyone.Psyker, as a fellow student, I understand your predicament and I believe you should put class in front of RPing like you've been doing. People who have unfinished posts, please finish them and post them. Feel free to clarify that for those in the scorpion group, 101.
Dervish said
Alright. After everyone gets their posts finished, I'll work on the timeskip as per suggestions. It'll be a big chunk of time, so head's up for that.

Strife with Zainait (Dipper mentioned he held close ties to the stronghold orcs, all of whom despise Cub)
He is, however, able to be comfortable around Stronghold Orcs and the Bosmer, but that does not mean he trusts them.

You mean give them a rough idea of what's going on in the scorpion group?
