We have a second Ellri now, dear me, the facts! *claps while grabbing some of Maki's popcorn and sitting down besides her*

HAHAHAHAHA, come Alida, Michael Jackson is waiting on us.

[Guilty Spark]

I'm done guys.

If someone wants to GM this RP discuss it among yourselves, but I am beyond the point of persuasion so don't bother addressing it to me. From this moment forward, I'm not GMing this RP. I suggest if you wish to continue, decide who will be running it from now on and make a new thread.

[Kangutso]

Can we ask why you made such a decision?

[Maki Casanova]

Are you still going to post Sparks? Or have you actually quit this RP?

[No Bite and All Bark]

Id be very sad to see you leave the position, but im sure someone else here will be happy to step up and GM in your honor.

[Blox]

I came here to see if there were open spots but apparently the rp is over??

[Kangutso]

No, the role of GM is being passed on to someone else.

[Blox]

Is this rp full of drama right now? Honestly? I'm interested but I hate OOC drama. It takes effort and time away from propelling the story forward with good content.

[Maki Casanova]

It's not drama; there's one pair talking about physics, and the GM suddenly decided to step down for whatever reason. I hope to hear from him and have our questions answered, but right now, as far as I could say, the RP isn't full.

[Ellri]

Not really, Blox. There's maybe a little discussion, but its not drama-level. The ex-GM (Sparks) has been leaning towards that choice for almost a week. We tried working towards convincing him not to pick this choice, but it appears we failed. The RP evolved away from his original idea.

It is most sad to see it reach this stage. We're willing to do some work for this, but we'd rather not do it alone. This RP deserves to live.

[Blox]

OK great, thanks

[Blox]

I love long term RPs so if this has good content I'd be more than happy to pump some life in to it.

Is it easy enough to get caught up on the basics of what's going on if I join in?

[Maki Casanova]

Yes actually! Just look at the very front, the intro post, and you'll see that there is a lot of info about lore, NPCs, and of course, our character sheets.

And I agree with you Ellri. You guys have put so much effort into making this world come alive, that even I, someone who doesn't take RPing that seriously, want to help manage it if you would have me.

[Blox]

I'll read up tonight/tomorrow and make CS hopefully by tomorrow morning. I'll have my first IC post ready.

Should I wait for CS approval before posting in IC?

[Maki Casanova]

Haha, yes actually. :P Mine had to go through some major work before it satisfied our overlord/high mistress Ellri.

[No Bite and All Bark]

I think i kinda know why sparks left
I was one of the first people to join i remember
And part of it was that there wasn't supposed to be too much ridged canon, if i'm remembering right? Something more free form and relaxed?
So maybe he doesnt want to be GM because we've evolved beyond that?

Also i would wholeheartedly contribute my time to this RP.

[Ellri]

Thats more or less the reason we've read, Barks.

[AlidaMaria]

Exactly, damn Sparks I'll miss you here :c I'm in the same position as Bark, I really can understand why Sparks quit, but it still sucks.... You were a good GM Spark!

I suppose I'll join the new group, as soon as someone decides to make a new thread, but I'm not sure if I'll stick around...Do we want rp start completely over again or will the old IC-posts be copy pasted into the new thread?

[Ellri]

Either way works. Keeping it will mean less development, restarting will mean that some early mistakes can be fixed. (we know we made many of them.) The most pesky issue is the sudden change in scale when we realized how small the world would be based on some numbers.

And Sparks was a very good GM. This RP couldn't have developed without his wonderful base idea. Its sad to see him go.

[Maki Casanova]

I think it's good to start off from where we left off. I wouldn't want your progress to just evaporate like that. That's kind of how life is in general, we work with what we have, and honestly, what we have right now isn't that bad at all.

However, we have a better understanding of the limits of the world, and if we decide to start anew, that's fine with me too. :)
