[OOC] The Black Hole

[irishking7777]

Hey gang. Just a heads up. I'm heading off for August to visit with family back home stateside. I'll try to squueze a post in tomorrow (one I've sat down to start for the last week or so). After that, internet time will be sparse until my return. Back in a few cheers guys.

[Hound]

I apologize for my absence. I went through a big move and had a lot of real life problems occur. This game fell to the back burner until now. I apologize, but intend to be more active from now on.

[Melchior]

Well, I hope things are better for you Hound. Busy days all round it seems, which sort of ties into my announcement:

As of now, I'm formally shutting down this game.

To be honest, the writing's been on the wall for a long time now, but it's time that I accept it. I'm sure you guys have noticed that my post frequency has... slipped somewhat. Which is a nice way of saying it's been awful. I really hate making excuses, but I don't want to just give you people nothing. You deserve better than that. And you deserve better than a burnt-out, unreliable DM.

Between work and life I just never seem to have the energy, and its the game that suffers for it on the backburner. I was hoping things might pick up and get better, but it just keeps on slipping more and more, and so rather than keep deluding myself that I can handle it, I'm just going to man up and admit that I don't have it in me to give you all and this game the energy and attention it deserves. When posting become a chore you dread facing rather than something you look forward to doing, it's time to step back and re-evaluate. I think I need to take a step back from DMing for a while, to play a few games as just a player.

It's been a lot of fun. To my long-timer players, thanks for sticking with me this long, and for making this game as great as it has been these three years. To the newer guys, I thank you too. I apologize that I couldn't give you the awesome Star Wars game you deserved.

[Xian]

Aw no! Just when I thought I was finally making it into the big time...

Seriously, Mel, knowing you, it took a lot to make this decision and can't fault you for doing what you are doing.

Some day, though, I am going to be a contender!

Onward!

Cheers, Xian

[Hound]

Thank you very much for running this game and behalf of myself and every player here, I just want to say, keep your stick on the ice and remember, we're all in this together.

[Avner]

I know the time since I started was short lived but it was great while it lasted. I've been there and you are doing the right thing. Refuel and rekindle your enjoyment for haming I'll do what I can to help out on the DM side of the table. You're a great GM and I look forward to the day when you take the reigns again.

[irishking7777]

Makes me sad to see it go, but you are 100% correct. Once it becomes a chore, a re-evaluation is necessary.

Thank you very much for the opportunity to play with all of you. If you ever decide to pick this back up, give me a shout. Thank you Mel!

[grenadierman]

Ah that's too bad about the game. It was fun while it lasted! Hopefully playing a few games becomes a reinvigorating experience for you! As always I'll be around here and there.

See you all around!

I’ll unsecret my character tonight. IIc was actually a brain in a jar. Specifically the brain of a Jedi. IIc served with Adrian Nathos, who IIc killed on the legislature building.

My character info is no longer secreted, the dramatic reveal of who IIc was is not as dramatic as it could of been. Anyone wondering can now read the full character history.
