[OOC] XCOM Enemy Unknown Season 1: The Coming Storm

[Proser]

Bump?

[Darkraven]

Yeah well I've given this alot of thought, and I can't delay the inevitable. I'm riding a storm, and an even bigger one is coming. The days of entertainment is over. I'm becoming too busy for this. Between my university work, in which I'm knee deep in my final year, physical training, an Indiegogo campaign I have been preparing for for months, running a sports equipment company, participating in a film competition and maintaining a YouTube channel and presence in an indie game, I can't continue with this, and any attempt to do so will only drag out a painful process.

Sorry to disappoint. I guess I understand now why things like this happen, and why roleplays can never really be completed like books.

[Proser]

Well that's disappointing but understandable; any chance you'd be willing to pass on the torch?

[Darkraven]

Sure, if you want.

[Proser]

If people're all right with it I'd be willing to take over, just PM me anything I'd need, outlines you had or whatever.

[Darkraven]

I was thinking that you might want an XCOM with your own visions of how it should be? You know, starting over on your own terms?

Who knows? Maybe people might not be so inclined to disappear with your style of roleplay

[Proser]

I'm not sure the players want to start completely from scratch or I would. I'll put my own spin on things but I was interested in any plans you'd had and wanted to stay at least a little true to them. Look at it like me seeing what I can use.

[Darkraven]

Alright, I'll give you my plans tomorrow. It would have been a blast really. Believe me, it's hard for me to let go, like a father giving up his daughter for adoption because not doing so would be hazardous for everyone. But I guess it'd be in good hands.

[Proser]

As soon as I have it I'll start working on something.

[Marik]

I must admit, this turn of events is rather disappointing. Are we starting completely over? We didn’t even get to do anything really.

[Proser]

Once I hear from Darkraven I was planning to pick up from where we left off, so the buildup wasn't completely wasted. I might put out another interest check to replace some of the people who've vanished, too.

[Pete]

I'm back in business. I can start writing again on the first.

[Lotta Pumpkins]

Let's just kill some aliums

[Darkraven]

Man, Proser, I'm so sorry. I've just been so busy I've been unable to write the outlines I promised you. Film making is far more exhausting than I thought. A mere 3 minutes short film kept everyone occupied for two days, and then some. But that hasn't been the only thing demanding my attention lately.

You should probably just start. A round of posting will last a few days anyway.

[Marik]

None the less, I’m still here, and far too interested to drop out. Anyone else who hasn’t posted recently on the other hand… we should probably try and get into contact with them.

I'll give Pete an opportunity to post and try to figure out something to slap together. Do you think you could get it to me by/during the weekend?

[Pete]

I only have access to my phone, not my computer, until the second. I could write on my cell, but the quality will suffer dramatically.

[Proser]

However you see fit, it'll give me a bit of time to plan next steps and figure out what to do with the cluster of seemingly-abandoned characters. I might post another interest check thread within the next couple days too.
