[OOC] A Tale of Thieves - Part One; Running and Hiding

[Sypherkhode822]

Calm down, Aurrorian.

I'm going to have a post up either tonight or tomorrow. Worst case scenario, we move on with the inactives.

[Phaesaris]

Speaking of inactive, I'm so very sorry for my lack of activity. My only excuse is that I'm a real shitty person.

[PhoenixWhite]

Well, from my perspective sense, it's fairly dead.

However, from my stubbornness and hopes and dreams, it's only a fluttering flame which must be rekindled.

If everyone doesn't see it picking back up I'll declare it closed, but if there's still people around for me to portray the story to then I'll keep my end of the bargain for as long as I am able to.

I always defer to my players in regards to this sort of scenario.

[Phaesaris]

I'm definitely up for a revival!

[Mega Birb]

Count me in! I think. *Lurks away*

[PhoenixWhite]

Well, I'd love to keep things going. I'll just need to take another roster of those that are here then I can kick things off right where I left off. So everyone who's still interested/around should go ahead and kick their words down here, and anyone knew can go ahead and try to make characters.

If all our old people are still here, I'll have to put new sheets into a more difficult-to-approve state, but I'm not turning people away yet.

My original number was 3-5, but I can work with 6-8 if there are that many still interested, so if you want to be here then just throw a sheet out and make sure you put a bit of effort into it so I can get details and angles of pursuit out of them.

[Sypherkhode822]

I feel really bad about dropping this one on the wayside.

I promise you that the adventures of Mr. Doe haven't concluded yet.

[Mega Birb]

@PhoenixWhite Hey, did you get the PM I sent you? I'm not sure, but I think it might be broken.

[PhoenixWhite]

Oh, yes, my apologies for the negligence @Mega Birb

[LPFan]

I'm still around but only one person has posted after me so i've been waiting for people to post before I can do it again.

[PhoenixWhite]

I can make things work with just about any number of people under 8, so at this point I'm going to pick things back up regardless and if people get left behind/come back I'll just catch them up.

[Aurrorian]

...I'm really confused as to who's still left. Role call? And why not join as a character yourself, @PhoenixWhite? Unless your GM omniscience would ruin the characterization I suppose.

[PhoenixWhite]

@Aurrorian I fully intended to employ various NPCs in a manner rather similar to how the player characters will be used, except more from a DM position for the purposes of storytelling. I want to primarily show how the world reacts to the players attempting things, but for a lot of situations there will also be NPC introduction and utilization in as if I were a player in order to make things a bit deeper and more immersive.

Or, at least, that's the intention

Also yes, a roll call would be fabulous.

[Mega Birb]

*Lurks in wait for GM approval*
Also I'm here, given Soren gets accepted. If you want the handgun scrapped, that can be done.

[Phaesaris]

Present and ready to rock n' roll.

[Aurrorian]

And from Sypherkhode's above message I assume he'll be put on freeze. So that makes four of us again, once Mega Birb gets approved we'll be able to roll out from there? Also would there be significant IC retcon needed, or (started with LPFan) we finish up this round of posts?

[Sypherkhode822]

I'm still here mates!

This game was put at the bottom of my response list, which is unfortunate.

And the last time I had written a response, an editing mistake deleted the entire thing.

[PhoenixWhite]

@Mega Birb I'm still scouring over it in some internal debate, but I'm almost always going to approve something. I'll PM you soon.

And no, no retcon would be needed. At least, not if I can help it. I'll just do my usual rounds of post reading and then give everyone the relevant replies they need in order to move forward. I was just keeping things extremely slow in regards to the beginnings to get a feel for characters, although, admittedly, my IC pacing tends to be based on in-the-moment arbitration/dictation, but the post frequency itself should no longer be an issue after this weekend [for the forseeable future]

[Mega Birb]

Yay, I got approved! Now I'm just waiting on the dossier.

[Mega Birb]

*Waits for dossier*
