[OOC] Eight Balls Bar & Grill

[Humble Athena]

Yes! We were so worried about you, Mister!

[idilippy]

Glad to have you back safe Chrys, best of luck with the jet lag.

[Amos]

Ditto, seconded, and all the other good stuff to boot, glad to have you back, safe and sound!

On another note, between a sick family, insane working hours, and the complete rearrangement of my house due to new furniture this weekend, I have fallen behind. I'm trying to start the process of catching up now, so I should be able to get a post up in the next day or so. Thanks for your patience and sorry if I have held anyone up.

[roaddog41]

So I owe you all an apology. Finals singed me a bit... but that is no excuse for letting so long go when the game obviously needed a bit of a DM's push. I'm back on the ball now... Again my apologies.

In other news... Exiled is not responding to my attempts to contact him. Would one of you please make an attempt to communicate?

[Humble Athena]

No problem, RD. No need to apologize. As for exiled, sure, I'll try.

[idilippy]

No problem, Finals take precedence over everything and I know how mind draining they can be.

[Humble Athena]

The Exiled hasn't responded to my PM, but he has been posting to another game, so it looks like he just decided to drop us without word.

[roaddog41]

I was afraid of that...

[Humble Athena]

I thank you for the work you've put into this game. If you can't continue without The Exiled, I understand, and with both Amos and Chrystrom too busy to post, I don't see it going anywhere fast anyway.

I can't tell you how tempted I am to barge into his other game and scold him,... but I suppose it would be rude to the rest of them and really wouldn't accomplish anything.

[Finch]

I'm still here. Still kinda busy and of course not AS familiar with the setting (and still have my little task unfinished, without pressure it'll never happen) but hey, if you need to bounce of ideas or somebody to help out when things get busy, pm me.

[roaddog41]

I don't want to kill this game... but you are correct that it will be too much for me, at least right this moment. I would like to put this game on hold...

I will be finishing this year's worth of school at the end of May, after which I will be spending 6 months on internship. Internships are so relaxing it is crazy... only 8 hours of work a day instead of 15, and nothing on most weekends. It is like heaven.

I propose we finish up the challenges we have going here... with or without Amos and Chrys as they have the time, then out the game on a short hiatus until June 1st.

The other option is to continue with the current post rate, about 1-2/week.

[Amos]

Either option is fine by me, I didn't foresee the amount of hours I would be working when I went back to Ford, but needless to say, they are working the hell out of me. A break until June may not be a bad idea, but I really don't want to see this game die. I'm good with whatever everyone else decides is best.

[Humble Athena]

Glad to hear you're willing to continue. Slow's better than not running at all, IMO, and good games with tight groups of players survive downtime.

[MalchiorTheForgotten]

I'm a newbie to this 'tight group of players', but I agree, slow's better than dead. And I'm highly interested in this game. I rarely get to be a battle-turtle and I really like the way I set Nyte up. I mean, c'mon, the guy's shield does the same damage as his bastard sword and he specializes in shield and sword style, with the appropriate shield bash feats. AND he crafts his own armor! I'm going to stay in this game to play him no matter what.

[roaddog41]

well at the moment I have 1 update in the game thread, and he hasn't posted.

Plus no actions were posted to require DM intervention.

Plan going forward:
1)I'm gonna try to post twice a week...
2)If nothing else happens tomorrow I will push things ahead HARD in both challenges. In the first by using settlers to cause a combat, in the second by using Bani to start messing with the "illusion".
