[OOC] World Beyond the Lexicon

Their last post was 2 weeks ago. It’s fair for people to be feeling a little antsy.

I understand that. I'm pretty numb to the time between Blu's last post cause I've been many roleplays where 2 weeks isn't really a big deal. I mean, if you guys are really antsy for interaction, maybe your characters could go off on their own? unless, of course, that's not something they'd do?

It's less about being antsy and more about we being left with an unpaid cliffhanger for 2+ weeks. At this point, the scene is beginning to lose cohesion as is very evident by some of of the last posts.

We could go around and do this but what are we even supposed to expect/find out when we have no guidelines?

Also, when do you think whether or not it would be good to consider our options? I'm not saying we should hijack the RP for ourselves, but whether or not it's worth trying to keep going while we wait to see if Blu will come back or not, or if we just let this eventually cool off and die.

Just because something works in one RP doesn't mean it works in all of them after all. Waiting for a couple of weeks or so while we have an idea of what's going on is fine and easy. Doing the same while being left without information (especially while the GM has been offline for more than a week already) is much less so.

I do not know what has happened with Blu, but it could be related to Covid-19. There could ofcourse be all manner of reasons why he hasn't been online lately. Not much we can really do aside from waiting for him, or seizing control of the RP in his absence.

I'd say that, unless you wanna make a whole other academy RP with this group, it's better to just take this as a hiatus until Blu returns.

@KoL
I get that and I'm not disputing anything you're saying, but I'm looking at it from a GM's perspective: I wouldn't like it if I came back in a day or two and my players decided to continue the RP without me being around. Obviously I know nobody here is planning on doing that unless it's a last resort, but I think, if we're starving for interactions, as said in my previous post, if the option is up there, your characters can do something to help bide the time. I'm sure that wouldn't be seen as hijacking but rather just having a short filler intermission until Blu comes back from whatever is keeping Blu.
