Current Currently buried in a number of things which I hope will benefit the Guild.

In some ways, the guildfall was a blessing. It makes it harder for my original 2009 RPing to be found...

I've finally returned to the Guild. Many months of much RPing ahead.

A thousand things to be done; plenty motivation.

Bio

Aeronautical Engineer
Irish
TV and Film addict

Been here on the guild since April '08, seen a lot of change but still love it. I've been on and off, I've GM'd fantastic projects and train-wrecks, it all comes with the territory. I once tried to make a YouTube ad for the guild because I'm slightly insane. In a weird place with the Guild right now, seems like so many names I knew are gone, but more than happy and ready to meet new people. Been writing casually for over a decade, a lot of that practice has been here. I have some small short sci-fi stories printed in anthologies but those are so heavily edited they don't even feel like mine any more.

When not on the Guild I'm most likely working, playing FFXIV or the Souls series or (insert recent must play video game).
Anyone with a passing interest in sci fi needs to read Saga by Brian K Vaughan.

Exams done. Trip across the country tomorrow to get keys for a new house then I'm off for a week where I'll be trying to push this hard, but a friendly kind of hard.
I just want to double check that this is fact still open.


It is indeed! Things are just getting going too. Plenty room to jump in.
Got pretty swept up in exams there since Monday.

@Dioxide I'll get to our post there in a bit.

And for everyone else, I'll be on chatzy for intermittently for the next 7 hours.
@Snaketicus

No worries! No need to apologize. Hope you're feeling better. :)
@Satsuki

Nope, just prepare for the event to happen soon!
@maplety

It's up to you! We'll be making some big story movements Wednesday.
This is all.


I hope for everyone's sake this sarcastic.
I hold my players to a certain standard. Tearing people new assholes isn't part of that. It's completely the prerogative of a GM to dictate what s/he wants for their RP, but being a tosser about it isn't. If someone doesn't meet the standards a GM sets out they should approach that person and attempt to constructively discuss it. Some people want to assure themselves of a certain quality of writing. Some put frequent posting ahead of quality and some demand a mix of both.

Tl;dr GMs have every right to impose standards but really should be nice about it.
I think Wednesday is fair time for anyone who wants to post again, to post before we advanced the plot. Don't worry if you don't' post you won't be left behind at all, it'll be easy to jump your character 10-12 hours in time.
