sorry i tend to stay away from the computers on weekends
like every weekend i tend to seem inactive.

So I am waiting on boio to respond to my character. Should I just post and kinda dance around it?

Go ahead and post. There's plenty of distractions. Just leave a sliver of leeway in case he comes back.

Understandable. Thank you.

In other news, I might have to make some arrangements for a replacement or two by monday-tuesday-ish. I desperately hope not, but I'll do what must be done for the survival of this topic. Or at least I'll try. I genuinely hope we can all get past the first page.

@Thread Generator SIN
Once again, I'm very sorry about that. I've told you before that I have work on weekends, so it's hard to respond during those days. I will get my post up by today or tomorrow.

@Laach
That's completely fine. Like I said, as long as you let us know you're still alive, post frequency shouldn't be an issue. I don't mean to come off as a nag.

Sorry I vanished, I wasn't feeling well. But I'm back and will get a post up soon. I hope I haven't missed anything vitally important.

@XxLyraxXI'm very glad you're feeling better. You haven't missed much. We're still on page 1 after all. XD

Roger that.

@XxLyraxX glad you're back!

@XxLyraxXGreat post! Glad to be on page 2. Looking forward to the rest of the week. Goodnight.

@Thread Generator SIN Thnx. Now it's time to read what I missed.

Crazy? You mean my army?

I'm dead inside XP
So much work recently.

I'm sorry :[ I know how that feels. Currently working two jobs as of the last couple months. Post when you can.

@MisterMisery You've been up to bat.

@Venom Hope you're okay.

I'll give it til friday. Then, unfortunately, I'll have to refresh the roster. If anyone has lost interest in this topic, that's fine just please let me know now so I can find replacements while it's still alive. I would really rather not have it die due to inactivity before we even get off the ground when that can be prevented. There are people logging in every day, waiting to post and willing to continue but we can't because we've been waiting. At this point days are passing between each IC and not even the smallest idea when to expect the next post. Normally my patience is pretty iron clad but when I see someone who I'm expecting to post, post somewhere else, that tells me you have the time to post here...but you are choosing not to for some reason.

I respect everyone here and I know circumstances can get the better of us all. Sometimes life just gets in the way of the things you want to, and say you're going to do. It's completely understandable. So I mean no bad blood when I say I will start replacing people by this weekend. It's nothing personal and not meant to be taken in an offensive way. Just please understand that I do NOT want this topic to die and will do what I need to to prevent that from happening. If you cant manage to get a measly 5 sentences up by then, Then I'm sorry but we can't wait for you any longer.

(Again, I mean this all in the nicest way possible and this is not aimed toward any one person.)

@Thread Generator SIN yikes. ok, I'm still here and will still be here whenever you choose to either continue this topic or reboot the whole RP.

@Venom hasn't been on since the last time he told us he was waiting on Blue, in 5 days I'd say it's pretty safe to assume that RL came up and dragged him away for a bit. I hope everything's okay there, or will turn out okay if it's not

I know @Laach and @MisterMisery have said they may be able to post soon, but if they've had a week anything like mine so far I don't blame anyone for not being able to get the will up to post. Work/school is a pain and RL in general can be pretty draining.

SIN, if I could make a suggestion? You don't need to wait for everyone to post before moving on with a GM post. Most, if not all, of the RPs I've joined where the GMs wouldn't do anything until everyone had replied has ended up in a similar situation to ours right now, and most have died from one or two people who wait a week between posts. Yes, I know this can cause people who consistently take longer to respond to fall behind (such as myself in many of the more advanced RPs I'm in) but if the pace of the IC is what's really bugging you this is the best way to solve that.

You posting more regularly or more often (like whenever you feel there's beginning to be a lag) will give those players who are active more to respond to and keep a healthy flow of IC interaction going on, and any players who are falling behind due to things like writer's block or lack of will and motivation to post may see what other players are doing and be revitalized by that, jumping back into the fray when they can. So long as players that can't post due to RL keep you informed of that, we can dance around their character so that when they come back they don't have to reply to everything they missed, but rather can jump in as soon as they're back.

finally, a little tip to help you do more posts if you want to go with this little idea I've lain out: think of yourself as a player too. You control all the NPCs, and so have the most sway with what happens in a scene. not every post you make needs to respond to every player and what their character is doing at the moment, you could post one paragraph at a time replying to each person individually if you wanted. Believe me, the less you have to do at any one time, the easier and more fun it is to do it.

I hope I'm not scaring anyone with this text wall.
I just hate to see RPs die

@Vesuvius00 @Thread Generator SIN
Damn, I've got myself one hell of a general.
I can't disagree with Vesuvius00 there. However, I can if you want drop in another post. I had considered it already and well, I'd like to before arriving at the destination anyway.

@Vesuvius00That might be a more level headed approach. I agree also with the week irl being a hell of a time. I've mainly been disappointed because I get home from an annoying work day hoping to use this site/roleplay as a stress release. So it kind of winds me up when it feels like it's stagnating. (I overreact a bit.) I'll start splitting off my NPC's and interacting on a more personal basis with characters. We'll skip whoever didn't post and get an IC up for now. Expect it sometime between now and sunday. As for making replacements and that whatnot, I'll see where my head is at over the weekend.

@RyouguYou and everyone else can go ahead and post however much you want now within reason of course. When I initially made this topic, based on the interest, I thought keeping a limit on posts between events was appropriate to keep people from getting left in the dust. But a little breath of life and activity would be fantastic.

Lily is free to interact with, if anyone's interested.

@XxLyraxXHas your body successfully eradicated the last of the sickness? XD I'm trying desperately to avoid getting sick...So far I've had pretty good luck. (knock on wood)
