Ok, so here's a quick question: Who still wants to keep this story up?

We understand that @Ryonara and @Awesomoman64 communicated that they have RL problems, so this question really isn't for them since I can't see them at fault here.

The matter is who between @ERode, @Scarifar, @Lonewolf685, @Lord of Evil and @Caits still wants to keep this going? And, in case you do, we'd like to know if you are going to be committed to the plot or not? There's space for everyone's growth in the story, regardless of the fallacies and baseless complaints from yesterday and early today.

@Lord of Evil's Thomas is in a especially good position story wise, should I say. He's pretty much on the verge of stepping into the meat of the plot. But we simply cannot continue if we don't get an actual confirmation from the few players we can still rely on. @Lonewolf685's Kanbaru too, but this is a given, right?

@RoflsMazoy and @McFazzer, this question goes for you too, but since you both have been too irregular when it comes to posting schedule, it's hard to trust you with any involvement in the plot. Which is a shame, since Fazzer should have some really big impact on the RP, considering his characters and their relationship with the plot.

Anyway, if we don't get any decent answers backed by actions, we will be forced to terminate this RP in a few days. I apologize for the people who are doing their part but it just got to a point where we can't do anything to continue if we keep getting this animosity to the plot from some people.

@Mega Birb is still welcome back if he reconsiders his stance, but thanks to the fact that @Flamelord has been instigating the dislike for the plot using false arguments openly, he's banned from now on.

Thank you for your comprehension.

@KoL @TheWindel And to anyone else who wants to read or cares to read.

I have been a disappointment up until this moment. I am sorry. Words may mean little at this stage, but even if no one reads it, I want to... well let's call it a rant.

I am still invested in this story and wish to continue participating in it. I want to see it continue. I enjoy Alex and Jukebox and would wish to continue playing as them. I like the story that can be told in this world and want to see it continue as I have some idea as to the direction it is headed and it excites me.

I agree with the potential that I have squandered and don't want to see the relationships however tenuous or just plain fictional that no one else may care about fade to nothing. Because I do care. It may not seem like it as I rarely if ever interact in the OOC, but I do. I care about this RP. It's the one that got me to stick around the Guild. You can call it trite or saccharine or even not believe me, but I do.

I don't want DGO to fail, I don't want this RP die.

/end rant of the Goddamn Iris

@McFazzer In this case, you know what you have to do.

I would also like to say that I really like the story. Maybe it’s because of how I set my character up but the current conflicts of the plot are something I’m really invested in and want to continue. I know I’m technically new here but I can honestly say this RP is my favorite and to see it go would crush me.

As stated I am going through some RL things that have made me hesitant to get involved in crucial points (like the battle in WotT) as I have no idea how active I’ll be in the coming months and don’t want to hold anyone up. But if it’s needed to help save this RP, I’ll make time no matter what.

We appreciate this determination, really. You and @Mega Birb have become a constant part of our group that we rather like, even if there's some misunderstanding along the way.

You don't need to sacrifice you actual life for this RP, though. Even if it goes down for a reason or another (not that I want it to happen), we can always try it again, with improvements. RPing is not a matter of life or death, but having loyal buddies that trust us as GMs is a good thing, indeed.

Your posts are high quality too, they have been helping a lot on this moment of instability in the RP.

@KoL
Though work is leaving me too dead to do major posts during weekdays I'm still here till the end.

I will post tomorrow. Where that will bring us will be seen at that time.

@KoL
Moe's here to take titles and kill Kings.

I suppose she'll also be sorta maybe possibly pretty pissed if suddenly she's living in even moar top-tier poverty student levels than she currently is.

So sure, get her involved in the plot. Just note that her reactions will be the reactions of a shounen protag that has salt instead of blood running through her veins.

While some subtleties of the plot of this rp still escape me, I am still willing to follow through as best I can.

I am always happy to stick around

I don't feel like I'm doing awfully much or that I'm going to end up doing awfully much with my usual attitude so I think I'll probably also exit considering everyone I was interacting with is gone right now. I feel like I don't have a good way to come back into the story, so I guess I may as well just do other stuff.

@KoL
I can't say I'm as enthusiastic for this as I used to be, but I can't say I'm not interested anymore either. My interest isn't 100% but it's not 0. Besides, I'm trying not feed my habit of leaving things half finished so I'll be here for the foreseeable future.

As of this moment, I’m officially putting this RP on an undetermined hiatus. A case of apathy has come over most of the RP’s residents and unfortunately it has affected the head GM as well. I no longer have desire to maintain or prolong this RP any further and will revisit it so in the future.

Maybe. Probably.

In any case, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused for those of you who would have liked to stick around. We hope you’ve had a fun time during Deep Ground Online and will find more fun times in future RPs. Until then, farewell for now.

Uh...ok??????

Uh...ok??????

The RP's done for now. Not much else to say.
