[OOC] S.H.I.E.L.D Academy

[Winter Kitten]

So, I might have done all of this at a wrong time. I've been extremely busy, as of late, and with school coming up near the end of August, I'm just gonna get even busier. I really only have time to write for a roleplay, instead of commit myself to GMing one. :(

All and any of you that wish to continue, you're free to make another iteration of this using anything I did as inspiration. I just ask you don't copy the entire thing - feel free to use and copy the coding for the character sheet, though. (just provide some credit, at the very least ;p )

Again, I'm truly sorry and it's really my fault for lack of communication and even attempting to do this at such a busy time in my life.

[Kouki]

@Winter KittenIf that's the problem, wouldn't it be simpler to just give the reigns to one of your CO-Gms and become a normal player? That way the credit for the creation still goes to you and I don't think about what counts as "the entire thing" when trying to remake this.

Plus, that way, you could keep playing and nothing major has to change.

@SheriffLlama@Kouki@knighthawk@MiddleEarthRoze@Chicogal@FantasyChic@Dethran@flightless-angel-castiel

Sorry for double posting(AGAIN!!) But on the off chance we have to shut this down, do you guys still wanna play?

PS: I'm only asking the people who have posted so far because I want to keep the next game shorter, 8 is a pretty good number.

[SheriffLlama]

@Kouki I'm down for it

[Winter Kitten]

@Kouki

If you would like to continue this in this particular thread, with all the pieces still here, then by all means. I just think it might be easier if you had control over the OP of the post, you know. To make edits and such. I have no qualms with staying to help out and even continue myself, though, if that makes things easier!

[Tokara]

Sure thing, I'm up for it @Kouki

[Dethran]

@SheriffLlama, @Winter Kitten, I'd definitely be down for keeping this going!
I'll also be down for starting a new RP inspired by this premise, if that winds up being the overall preference among the group.

[Kouki]

if that winds up being the overall preference among the group.

@Dethran

Good point, we should leave it up to a vote since @Winter Kitten is cool either way.

[MiddleEarthRoze]

@Kouki

Yup yup, I could go for a reboot. It'd be a shame to retire our character's so early.

Or, alternatively, people just start posting in the IC again? That could work, considering we're literally not even past introductions yet.

[Kouki]

Or, alternatively, people just start posting in the IC again?

@MiddleEarthRoze

Would that work though? I mean, you've posted twice, I've posted twice and everyone who's active has had their introductions. At this point, posting in the IC doesn't solve much of our problems if we don't have anyone to actually move the plot along.

I mean, true, everyone could react to what they just saw but that's a band-aid solution especially since we aren't allowed to post until everyone else does and at least four of us have gone inactive meaning we're stuck in a form of stasis.

We could try this-

I propose that characters who haven't "shown up" after a while are either "running late", "overslept", or they're simply late arrivals to the program, meaning the plane with them in it has yet to arrive.

@Kouki

But that plan needs to be approved which means we need a GM.

Like I said, if Winter Kitten is willing to stay on so we can keep playing here but can't actively affect the plot or fulfill his GM role because of life, the first thing that should be done is picking a new GM from one of the CO-GM's available.

That way, we have someone who can ask Winter to make amendments when necessary and actually progress the plot along.

Since there are two of you, and if neither of you mind, Winter-san can just flip a coin right? Then we can move on to the next part of the story without anymore delay.

OR, alternatively, we make a new game, we'd still need someone to run it but whatever get's out of this auditorium.

[Winter Kitten]

I definitely can't run the RP anymore, but I'm more than happy to stay on for my characters and to assist with the plot. I didn't really want to close it, but with how busy I'm going to get, I don't wanna drag all of you down.

@Kouki I can't promise when I'll be able to respond but if you'd like to PM the previous GM team (Roze, Cas, and I) we can brainstorm a few ideas and let one of you three take the reigns of leading the plot.

[Kouki]

and let one of you three take the reigns of leading the plot.

@Winter Kitten

No no, one of you two.

I have ideas, I make missions, I do not lead, that involves actually dealing with....people and that ain't how I roll...

[knighthawk]

It takes a certain kind of person to GM.

Not everyone is up to the task.

[flightless-angel-castiel]

Sorry for my lack of input. I`d really love to continue this and not see all this work go down the drain, nor the well thought out characters. I'm up for any discussion on what to do.

[Kouki]

Well, whatever gets decided, please tell us soon!

[Winter Kitten]

We just gotta find someone willing to lead us. ;3;

If you guys want to wait it out and put this on hiatus, I'm sure my schedule will open eventually. I want it to. I think it depends on how my classes go. I'll be sure to tell you what the outlook is gonna be like come August 22nd and the week ahead of that. If it's looking like a decent heaping of classes and work, then I'm gonna have to say no to re-GMing this. If it looks pretty lax and my work schedule dies down too, then I will A+ try and steer this in the right direction.

Right now, though, my work schedule is tearing me a new one.

[Tokara]

I'm dithering here. I don't have much going on at all RP-wise at the moment, but I'm rather busy IRL. Ughh. So like, I could pick it up if Winter can't anymore and there aren't any takers for main GM, though I think @flightless-angel-castiel would want to...?

I'd like to be co-GM if stuff gets switcharoo'd though, if we have a new GM and they'd like me to join 'em.

Just wanted to put in where I'm at. :) I love the characters in this, they're fantastic, and I don't want this to fade out!

[Kouki]

I'm with Chicogal, I'll GM if you gotta scrape the bottom of the barrel, I'll also CO-GM and assist in anything necessary to keep the game running smoothly, anything to make sure that it doesn't actually end!

[flightless-angel-castiel]

Woot, lack of replying again. Once school gets started at the end of this month, and I'm on a set schedule, I will be much better at being active. A set schedule will assist in managing all my daily things better.

If no one else wants to step up, I'll totally snag the GM spot if need be. I've never been in that position before, but for this RP and to keep these characters alive, I'll totally do it. I don't want these characters, nor this RP, to die, and for us to not be able to flesh the characters out either. I'm okay with a small group too, since I'm sure we lost interest as a result of all this.

If y'all will have me, I am here.

[Winter Kitten]

Here here for Cas!
I'll help any way that I can in that endeavor. I'm sure a set schedule might help too and that I'm just freaking out and getting anxious. D; I think I'll be happier assisting and playing things out any way that I can tho. :)
