@SillyGoy Agreed, Ideally if we can get things moving sufficiently we could get the hunters introducted to the hunters. Witches introduced to the witches (Mostly done other than fey for what's available) and characters introduced to their 'partner'. Add in a couple scenes exploring the individual relationships beyond introductions, and we've got quite a bit of content to explore before an 'event'. That requires that we keep things moving to the best of our ability. Hopefully Karl will be able to find a remedy for the fact that some of the characters are currently mid interaction with some of Kitten's characters.

I'm considering having Lorelai take a walk in the woods after a couple of posts between, to gather some supplies and what not. That would serve to deeper explore the relationships and types of banter between her and the characters that join her, and take a look at some of the places and what she thinks of them. Also possibly get in a small scrape, which is always good for drama.

I do hope we'll be able to generate some 'direction' as best we can until word comes down, but of course this can't continue indefinately. I'm sure Karl will have some solutions when he posts, and if anyone has an idea for an interaction with Lorelai or would like to murder her familiar for kicks feel free to PM me and we can probably orchestrate it. Or just post of course, either way.

I think we need someone to step up and give us direction. I am currently participating in another RP where we the players are given ample time to interact with each other but the GM keeps things going before they go stale. I am not so sure if the same method of narration could be applied to this RP, however. Sandbox RP's often die because people run out of things to write about.

Elina and Fenros could interact using Alltia somehow. I am just waiting for @Aerandir to make the move. But he's waiting for @Vocab but without @Madame Kitten one of his characters has no-one to play with. Morale appears to have dropped with the GM suddenly leaving.

Did Madame Kitten give any information on when he/she is coming back? I dunno if I count as playing since I have yet to get a dude made and approved, but I was PMing the GM about a character concept and I am unaware of if I am still like part of the player count or booted by inactivity.

@SillyGoy I think I can push everyone along. From reading @madame kitten posts and oil intro, I think I have a general idea of what she was planning. As for those who have characters partners who have "vanished" they can partner up for now, at least fighting another witch.

But the key is to keep on pushing along. And I can lead in an "attack from some no named witches so players can strut their stuff.

Ah, hello there. I'm a friend of the GM, she actually encouraged me to take a chance on this website.... She's taking a very long hiatus and I know that she's super busy between her family and helping out at the cat shelter we volunteer at. She wanted me to tell you guys as she is busy and I have the free time.

Anyways, she sends her deepest apologies and asks for your forgiveness.
Hope you guys can forgive her, as she's not doing so well with some news about her favorite kitten at the shelter....

@Princess Kitty That's unfortunate. Looks like we've got two options, elect a new God GM, or let this go to waste. I personally think we can turn this into a decent colaborative effort, but that's me.

I'm willing to vote on our new overlord...

@Meiyuki

Karl's been a bit busy too, with life and helping Kitten deal with stuff.
But she says if Karl agrees she gives anyone free reign over her idea, and says you can restart everything under new leadership. She also explained that if you want to change it in any way, shape, or form she's fine with that too.

All the information you need from what she told me is what she gave you, even if it was individually through questions.
All I can say is good luck, but it's up to Karl and whether he himself is up to continuing.

@Karl Kadaver Then I eagerly await Karl's post and offer any assistance I might be able to provide in terms of character load or the like.

Also those of you lurking in the shadows, that right I see you ;P. If you'd like to weigh in, seems like the time.

Well that's unfortunate, but at least something can be done

I agree, I think this could work as is for a cooperative story telling. Player driven scenes, loose and chaotic plot, perhaps occasionally punctuated by Karl or a volunteer with some hard plot, creating the sensation of a slice of life drama with an over-arching meta plot.

The issue is what sort of overarching plot would it be?

The original plot line it seemed was some inevitable conflict against Kitty's character and then some endings based on the relationship type between partners but other than it seemed pretty open ended

That would be up to Karl. Or whoever steps up into the role. The original plot would also work, someone just needs the permission and motivation to move it along.

Karl has told me he is stepping down as Co-GM too. So Kitten has kindly offered a spare plot idea from beyond the grave! Just kidding, beyond the smartphone screen! x3

Anywho, she explained to me that Bloodrose Coven could have been founded by witches long dead and gone, and that you could use her characters as legends from the past. Everything is the same, just the background is a bit different for the Coven. She says the ending for this idea is essentially that you create bonds with everyone, no matter who they are, and everyone essentially breaks the spell of the Bloodrose Coven, changing each witch back to good but they aren't like the other good witches. They actually have offensive powers unlike the others, each one unique to them that are based on essentially the opposite of your current powers.

She wishes you all her best and hopes that this idea helps you all out.

Well... I guess the first question being... Who shall taketh up the male of the all mighty GM?

@Aerandir I nominate this guy. We made up a scene about a murder and it was cool.

Also we'd been PMing about ways to revitalize and keep things moving untill kitty came back. I liked his ideas. Also as far as kitties character are concerned, I was thinking of dividing them up (With medusa for the GM) and just continuing as is. We didn't really even get started on the main plot so it could go just about anywhere from here.

Alas I'm off to sleep, if nothing else I'd be willing to do it as well. I'm an experienced GM, although new to the play by post format. So goodnight everyone.

Ill post tomorrow evening if no one does.

If no one steps up to GM this, I'm going to by tomorrow night.
