@RaeoftheLightI definitely understand the feeling, so I don't want to sound insensitive with this response or anything.
Inkd pretty much up-and-left a dozen or so people without as much as a word. I'm sure he has his reasons, but as a result of this, we never got any sort of express permission from him that we can continue ourselves.
Despite that, seeing the large amount of interest, I really think it'd be a shame to let the RP fizzle out because of that. In the end, this is a public forum, and he put his cool idea out there knowing this.
We'll pretty much only be using the setting that Inkd laid out, as we don't know what he had in mind for plot. As such, we'll be coming up with our own plot using what little we know to fit the setting and tone of the roleplay.
Like I said, I totally understand being iffy, but I believe it's the best thing to do for everyone involved. If you're no longer interested, that's completely fine, I won't hold anything against you or whatever. But we would love to have you participate despite the situation ^^
