So... I have been off for a long time. Insanely long actually.

I wanted to say sorry for my inactivity and just sort of... bailing out. The adult life was a lot harder then I thought it would be. I hope my decisions didn't cause too much damage, and if they did I am sorry and I hope I can make it up to everyone at some point. I don't have any real intentions of doing any Role-Playing for a while as I am still not in a situation to do much.

So yeah... sorry for the whole lot.

If I can get some time to sort out my schedule I'd be game to try and continue this? And my job is seasonal so my hours are going to be cut with in a couple weeks meaning I will have more time for things and stuff. Or for those walking dead fans, "Stuff, Thaaangs."

As much fun as I had with this, Acer, given the lack of returning players and being as busy as I am...I'd say just leave it.

This weekend I'll get a post somewhat detailing where I wanted to take this and the basic ending.

I may try to come up with another rp. That's a big maybe... Hopefully I do another I'll things planned out better.

Oh shit. I haven't been logged into this account in weeks so I didn't see this had a sort of comeback.
On the one hand, I was super excited to join this and I kept hoping somehow this would be brought back, but on the other hand, if one of the main players isn't coming back and the support there still is is tentative... It makes sense to let it rest.
Though if anyone starts something similar, I'd be glad to join. It's an always fun concept.

Well this has taken me too long to get, my bad for that.

Anyhow, where this was all going...

While we're all in Harlan, more and more the outside world was going to learn about the events in both Harlan and Atlanta. Things were going to be slightly spun so that it looked like it was all our faults. The powers were going to come out to the public and we were going to look like freaks, lepers, pariahs, so forth and so on. The title of the Unwanted was really going to pass right.

This all happens while we are completely isolated and have no idea whats going on. Us, ourselves however were going to sit in the mountains and work on the use, control and understanding our powers. While doing that, getting sent on on errands for our hidden villain and dealing with other issues. Things like the characters adjusting to life with each other, new settings, so forth and so on.

More than anything in this part of the of the rp I wanted to get into the... psychological aspect of... The powers, the world seemingly scared and frighten of us. Some creepy shadow dude pulling strings from some unknown position, all that jazz.

We had a pretty diverse cast of characters so I thought this part was going to be a tad bit boring, but the most interesting. I threw the monster thing in just to shake things up and show where things were going go.

After the this, the second act. We were going to New Orleans. After a bit of a history lesson it was going come out that this was all put into place by some sort of hoodoo cult that somehow tied into Marie Laveau.

Here are some fun facts about Marie Laveau. She was a devoute catholic, and did so much in the name of the catholic church that there were calls for her to be canonized as a saint. No one really knows where she was buried, Saint Louis Cemetery No. 1 plot 347 is the expected place but no one really knows for sure.

There are all kinds of legends and rumors and folk tales about her. There was one that got really interested in her, it was that her tomb was an entrance to hell.

One of old folk tales I read about her was that her tomb was either at the start or end of a some sort of pattern that when done in the right order would lead us to hell and some sort of conversation with Satan or Beelzebub or whatever you wanna call the dude/entity.I can't remember how or what I said but I made a reference to the devil in one of my first posts.

Now that meeting leads us to choice, let the devil run wild on the world, or try to keep the devil right where dude is? Would the group as a whole go one way or another? Would there be a split? Who is going where? Will there be a mortal kombat style battle to death? So forth and so on. After that, I'm not really sure what was gonna happen.

The biggest reason I wanted go this route was... You have a group of powerful beings that has been shunned by the world. Beings that could take over a city or county or state or whatever. So what happens when these being now have a chance to take over the world?


That's the general idea of where everything was going to go. I'm sure a lot of things were going to change as we went but that was the basic outline of everything. I know that it wasn't going to be the most popular direction but I did think it was really interesting.

You guys stuck it out for as long as you did, I thought it was only fair to let you guys know how this was going to end. I hate things happened out like they did. Either way I do thank you guys for all the effort and dedication each of you put into this. I know we didn't finish it, and that is my bad all the way. I do think we lasted a lot longer than other RPs and this is really cool for me.

You could always revamp the game, if you're up for it of course.

The thoughts crossed my mind a few times. I just don't know how many people would be interested in it. Beyond that, I'd really like some nailing down the story with someone that is a better writer/gm than I am.

I am in for trying again, I joined this in a really hard point in my life so I wasn't able to keep up with it. If you want help writing I did some professional work once? Not a lot but at least a second set if eyes?

Awesome.

I know Zero didn't really want to do because we wouldn't have all of the core members back. If we can get him on board I'm game for it.

I'd also like to know where I went wrong and what I did right. Also anything houghts on my ending would be helpful.

I think abandoning it for some time was the worst thing you did. Not that I blame you as rl obviously takes precedence.

Definitely hire a helper, and have a clear outline for the story you want. With the GM and Co-GMs knowing what's going on, then the rest falls on the players.

Well give me a few days, maybe a week and I'll have something ready to go.

The two different settings and type of people I wanted for this to, should that stay or be changed?

Anything I should change to the story or outline?
