[OOC] Advance on Distant Proxima (Mecha RPG)

[Hawthorne]

Good stuff. Now that's a post with flair.

[FlappyTheSpybot]

@Krayzikk, How we looking?

@Krayzikk, How we looking?

@FlappyTheSpybot

Alright on my end. I've been trying to give a few specific people time to post around midterms, but I'm working up a progression post without their input if things take much longer.

[Krayzikk]

Hey guys! Sorry to be saying this after such a break again, but real life kinda got hectic for a bit. Classes, some upsetting family news, all that good when-it-rains-it-pours stuff. On top, of course, of the fact that there were a couple really key posts that I was waiting on. When they finally happened I had gotten busy myself.

The good news is I have been planning, drafting, and writing as much as I can during this, and I've got a good five hours stuck in an airport terminal on my way home with my laptop. If the post isn't up tonight (which even if it's done it may not be, because travel is exhausting) it guaranteed, 1000% will be up by the end of the weekend.

If it isn't Snow is going to physically show up at my house and beat me half to death so.

Life happens, it's all good. Truth be told, I was considering throwing in the towel and removing this RP from my subscription list today, but if you say we're still ready to go, then I'm all for it. I'll stick around to the end, and all that.

@Krayzikk

the contract is sealed.

[FlappyTheSpybot]

Good, I was starting to get worried. I really like my character for this and absolutely want to see the RP continue.

[HereComesTheSnow]

he’s going to kill the fedex man

[Hawthorne]

Oh boy, is it time for beatings?

[HereComesTheSnow]

yeah they did him really dirty. i gotta let him off on this one.

[Hawthorne]

That's fair. Ah well, I suppose we've waited this long-- more waiting won't be the end of things.

[Krayzikk]

Yeah the bad news is FedEx trashed my desktop and one of my monitors. Soooo I have a claim going.

The good news is that my post work is in the cloud, so I can work from my laptop. So slight delay, but we aren't too far off track.

[Hawthorne]

That sounds rough. I hope you get your money back, and then some.

[Krayzikk]

Quick update: No progress from FedEx, but all of my big assignments for semester's end will be done after tonight. I've been working when I have time, post will be up before the weekend.

[Krayzikk]

Hey folks.

Short version, FedEx fought me a lot harder and a lot longer than I expected, assignments piled up, multiple family visits, a birthday, and on and on. The good news is that the post is done (a little shorter than I planned) and is going up right after I post this.

The bad news is, obviously, that it's late. And a lot of stuff went into that in the short term but in the long term it happened because I ran this first "episode" so to speak pretty poorly. Providing only two enemies centralized things in a way that if one person didn't post, someone else couldn't post. And if one or two people didn't post, I wasn't really sure how to move the fight along and preserve momentum without causing problems for myself and for all of you guys. On top of that some stuff that I had pushed back definitively pinning down because it didn't matter yet suddenly mattered right when I was dealing with everyone else, too.

I've got a two-fold strategy to fix this moving forward. Firstly I'm holding myself to having a post done every week on a certain day (to be determined when I check when coursework is going to be due over the summer so they don't overlap) or at least a post explaining what I'm waiting for before I make another one. I'll announce what day that's going to be, and I'm going to hold myself to it. The second part is decentralizing further storytelling a bit so it doesn't all fail if one or two posts don't materialize.

Lastly I would appreciate it if everybody who is still here and wants to stick around could sound off so I can do some planning. If you've dropped me by now I totally understand and no hard feelings at all. I just need to know for my own planning. If it turns out that pretty much everyone has dropped, I'll check in with whoever's left about how we want to proceed.

Sorry again about the problems, and letting you all know I still fully plan to stick with this.

@Krayzikk

Momentai~ That's all totally understandable, and at least you didn't just drop off the face of the earth (like I did because I didn't know what to post) or anything. I'm still willing to go on if that's alright.

[FlappyTheSpybot]

As previously stated, I'm still very much interested. I quite like Fox, and want to see where his character goes. That said, I'm currently fighting with a gnarly ass headache courtesy of some out of alignment vertebrae. I'll be getting that taken care of Monday. Between that, other RPs I need to write for and work, it may be a week before I get to an IC post for this.

[HereComesTheSnow]

i did it gamers

[Hawthorne]

Good to see you're still alive, in spite of FedEx's efforts. At any rate, I will admit that I'm in a number of different RPs now, so I don't know if I'll be able to be as active as I used to be, but if you'll have me, I'm more than happy to keep going.

[ArmorPlated]

I'm still here and still interested, for what it's worth.
