^_^ My bad, I didn't have time to check everyone else's characters. Still trying to fix mine. I can remove the team mom bit if you like.

no it's k

<bump> Hello all! *Pokes all* <bump>

Is there a CO-GM here? I have questions that I need answers for, in regards to me making my character's backstory.

Just ask and he will address it when he gets back on.

@Mistress Dizzy Though if you care the two co-gms are Penultimate_Pi and Jinxlynx. That or you could just ask the GM, I assume you want it do via PM which the reason you haven't just stated it. If you put it in the OOC just make sure to drop one of them a mention.

@Eklispe

Thanks much! I'll toss all 3 of them a PM. (Yeah I wanna keep my question a secret, just in case I get to do what I'm thinking.)

On my phone at work, I'll have an update this evening.

*hopeful nudge*

:(

it was pretty loud man

I'm on my phone at work in between smoke breaks, so I'll be brief.

Ill be on at least 6 hours from now and I'll hash out details then, but for this RP to (finally) start I'll need 2 more Co-GMs and we'll be abandoning the stat system. There are reasons for this but I need a keyboard in front of me.

Okaaaaay, at home in front of a keyboard, response time.

So I'll give everyone a full disclosure and why this has taken so long. For the record, anybody here's probably seen me on the site, but I've only been paying attention to the popcorn, the non-time intensive stuff I can type up in half an hour. This is a bit different. This was a collaborative project between 3 people, none of which had the time to commit to actually running the game. My job just became pretty damn demanding with one of my Lance Corporals out for a month or so to take care of his new kid and my brother having sepsis and everything that comes with that. Now two are gone and I'm the one with enough optimism to try to run things and foolish enough to sign my name on the OOC. That was assuming that I'd have 2 Co-GMs to help me run combat for a number of people so I could focus on small interactions and getting to things when I could, while someone else handled the meta-plot. I didn't write the meta-plot and have no idea what to do with it, so I've been a little reluctant. Jinxlynx hasn't posted anything anywhere in half a month last time I checked and Penultimate_Pi picked up anchor when things started stalling.

Now I don't want to abandon this after so much time and dutiful attention from you guys, but I won't be able to run this myself and especially not the way it is now. To cut down on work, I'm thinking of eliminating stats altogether and sticking to just weapon choices and a rough outline of what characters are capable of. Interesting system, but too much damn work for one person. I'll also need new Co-GMs to help with combat and maybe some other things, but mostly to resolve combat on the NPC side, initiate and resolve attacks and shit. For players who'd still want to play and run combat, you'd be able to do both as long as you don't resolve combat for your own characters or intentionally single someone else out, kill, maim, or seriously wound outside of player consent or my say so.

I don't want to lead anyone on with false positivity since this might be dead in the water after being dumped in my lap. It'll take some serious work and coordination to get things running from this point and I'm fresh out of time to devote.

I'd be fine with GMing, though I've never done it before.

I would be fine to Gm (or Co-Gm)

We could always create a 'new' interest check for recruitment.

I'm still down for playing, but I know I'm in no shape to be in charge.

Yeah i'd be 'willing' to co-gm but my life is busy and you've got two. Still down to play whatever way you want to take it.

I'm sorry to lead everyone on like this, but I'm gonna have to bow out. It normally takes me days to even respond to the OOC of RPs that I'm in currently running, let alone get an IC post up. I won't be able to take any kind of GM position reliably, and if we started we'd probably get maybe two posts for me with weeks of delays. So I apologize to everyone for wasting your time and getting your hopes up.

If anyone wants to take the system, premise, setting, whatever, and roll with it, you have my blessing and I can help you out if you ask for it. I can even give anyone who's interested in the full setup the story we lined up behind the scenes, but I'm not able to participate in any big RP like this, GM or otherwise.
