[OOC] Date A Live - Alternate

[drewccapp]

Wooo progressing stuffies and thingies!

[Mr Nim]

Yippe!

Now I'm wondering if I should keep on going or not... I has no idea.

I shall wait for further opinions!

*Nim looks around and waits for further opinions to arrive.*

[Xaltwind]

Go ahead and continue, if you want, the collab between me and Windel doesn't really affect anything at the school(s). ^^

[Mr Nim]

No, but thought you might want to interfere as the AST or something. Or perhaps Ratatoskr. I mean... Both would have an interest, and both would probably become alert by the sudden spiritual energy appearing in the highschool.

[Xaltwind]

Don't worry, they got it covered... ;)
Pro-tip; Stay away from windows...

[Mr Nim]

Oo

Nice little collab you got there....

;3

[Xaltwind]

Don't worry... Shadowgirl is next... >:3

[drewccapp]

OH I can't wait to see what happens next :3

[Mr Nim]

There. Decided to post again.

[Xaltwind]

On a different note, only 59 more people need to sign the petition for Fate/EXTRA CCC! :D

[Mr Nim]

*Awaits Xalt's next post.*

[Xaltwind]

Post coming this weekend.

[drewccapp]

*Gets excited for weekend*

[TheWendil]

Will put a post up tomorrow.

[Xaltwind]

Uhm... I know I said I'd post in the IC this weekend, but instead I bring you some incredibly unpleasant news that will probably upset a great deal of you, and earn me some well-deserved flak. But instead of stalling and building up tension, let's get right to it:

---

To put it very bluntly, I'm going to be taking a break from RPG for an indefinite period of time. This is not a decision I've made lightly, but rather one that I've been debating and thinking about for the past month or so. The reason for this decision are multiple, the major ones are that my job keeps tiring me out each and every day, leaving weekends the only days I can really have any 'me'-time, and my passion and enjoyment of roleplay - as a whole - have significantly decreased over the past half a year of so.

The past few roleplays I've done on the Guild have eventually turned into feeling like chores, where I'm obligated to read up on and respond to them. And, as I have said to many others, I have a philosophy about hobbies that goes: If your hobby turns into a chore and something you don't look forward to doing, then you should probably take a step back and away from it, for a while. And, following my own advice, that is exactly what I intend to do.

Now I do want to note that this decision is not anyone else's fault but my own, and it certainly isn't influenced by you guysd. Rather, I'd say this RP has been the main reason why I actually stuck around for longer than I intended, as I think and feel that you boys and girls have been a tremendously enjoyable group to roleplay with. Your patience and dedication to the story, even though it's been slow-moving and at times unintuitive and, let's face it, poorly plotted has really amazed me. Your character are all also wonderful and I can actually say that I feel like I've been reading a decently written DAL spin-off with nice characters and design so far. Kudos, hold your heads up high!

It is - however - also because of this that I'',m withdrawing, because I feel like it's unfair to you guys, who put so much effort and energy into this story to sit around and wait for me, who is pulling my feet and sighting in exhaustion every time I come to visit the Guild and chjeck if there are updates or new posts. I feel like an anchor and a time-sink that's holding people and stories back, and that's not a good thing.

So, in conclusion, as of today; November 9th 2014, I'm officially taking a hiatus from RPG and this in turn means I'm resigning from my post as GM of this roleplay.
Do not despair though, because I'm not a complete douche, even if I'm a pretty bg one, I'mm not just going to leave you folks high and dry.

I'll be sticking aroud and popping in to check this thread, and if you guys want to continue the story without my "guidance", then please - by all means - feel free to do so! Just shoot me a PM and I will gladly give you all the information on what I had planned and plotted for the story so far, and that way you guys can keep on goiung if you want to, even if I'm no longer around to act as the narrator.

Again, I apologize and feel sincerely bad for doing this, but it's something I feel that I have to do for now. I want to be able to to work in the weeks without feeling guilty for being tired from, well, work and not posting on the Guild and I want to be able to spend my weekends without having to think of things and stuff that I can, should or otherwise might be posting from the point that I wake up in the morning until the wee hours before I go to bed.

So, yes... I'm very, very sorry and hope you can all understad. I know this is very sudden (for you guys) and I haven't really been mentioned it before. *bows head in shame*
Again though, if you guys want to continue the story, just hit me up and I'll help and give you what I got, so as to keep this story going. Because hoestly, this is an RP I feel that I can be proud of, not to mention it's my second longest-running roleplay on RPG ever, in all the 4 years I've spent here.

But for now, I will have to bid you a shameful goodbye and await your replies.

[drewccapp]

Awww that's a shame, but I understand. I had to take a year long hiatus from RPG for the same exact reason, so I'm not gonna yell at you or anything. I wish you a good relaxing hiatus. I'd certainly like to keep this RP going. I rather enjoy plaing Suichi and his cat. (although I'll admit I don't have nearly as much fun with Kyoko XD)

[Mr Nim]

I'd love to keep this going too. Just started to get the hang of how I want to roleplay as Yoshikuni x3

And am still curious at how I can develop Chou :3

But I understand as well. I had taken several breaks throughout the years I've been roleplaying, and those always helped me, so I hope that it will be a relaxing break and that things will work out and become better for you real-life wise.

Small note: As a matter of fact, I have a lot more spare time than what I formerly had, so it'd be ashame if I suddenly had even more time than before.

[TheWendil]

I see. Well it is a shame to see you leave us Xalt but I’m personally glad you took the time to let us know and explain too. Not a lot of GMs have the time or sensibility to do that, so much appreciated.

As expressed by everyone else, I too would like to keep this running up for as long as we can. If anyone doesn’t volunteer, I’ll gladly PM you to learn all the secrets from the master :o

Of course, I’ll try my best to implement your ideas, though they may or may not come out to the way you expected them to. Apologies in advance.

[Xaltwind]

Aww, thanks guys. :')

I'll be sure tohand over all the ideas and plot-thingymydoobers that I had planned and set-in-motion!
Err... But, which one of you should I send it to? o_o
Guess you'll hafta pick a back-up GM...! :o

[Xaltwind]

Ger-darnit... RPG derp'd and made me double-post... T~T
