[OOC] Briefing Room

[Humble Hero]

No rush at all, I think a few of us are in various states of getting well and/or being sick currently.

I'll have a GM reply made this weekend, to give anyone else a chance to reply beforehand. With Q's post, the pre-mission prep will essentially be done, so a final exit round should suffice, and then it's onto the mission!

I expect the mission GM updates to be shorter, since a lot of information will be wholly reliant on each of you looking for it; so, unlike the mission prep, things won't be pointed out obviously, and there will be some details that matter. Also, be aware that each update will - unless a minor one, such as answering a query or giving a quick update on a perception check, etc - include stated time (such as 8:00 AM, Tuesday)... and this will factor into things.

The original 007, and Classified to an extent, factor in time.

What does this mean? It means I have started outlining specific events to happen at specific times, and if they are missed they are missed. But, that also means there's opportunity to see things well before you're meant to, if things go your way at specific instances.

Ultimately, my goal is to give you a sandbox-lite Monaco, with events happening *around* you as well!

Hopefully it's enjoyable (and works out ha ha...)!

It's been over a week. As much as I'd like to wait, games die with inactivity.

[Barrigan]

That's fair. Should we move on to Q then?

[Acathala]

It's not a good sign our DM hasn't been online in over a week either.

[Humble Hero]

Apologies, I have come down with a secondary infection (lungs, breathing, etc), which me on some strong medication to rectify (doctor's tend to get serious when someone has trouble breathing ).

A post will be arriving this weekend, detailing final interactions and then Q's briefing, it will be less interactive so as to finish up the pre-mission session. Then, depending on who wants to proceed - and my state of recovery, which is improving thankfully - we can get the mission started in a week or two.

Apologies for the delays, I don't like being inconsistent (my previously regular posting history shows that), and this illness has taken a toll on me, which has made it hard to return more fully up until this point (parenting and kids, while being quite ill, makes hobbying difficult).

If anyone wants to exit the game, I fully understand, and don't blame anyone for doing so - but for those who stay, we will continue on, and my goal will be to become more consistent like I had been!

[Barrigan]

Sorry to hear you've been unwell but it sounds like you're on the mend, which is good to hear.

I'll happily stick around until you're well enough to resume. Between all of life's commitments, hobbying is the one with the least priority so it can take a back seat until you're back at full capacity.

[Amarga]

I'm in no rush, being alive takes priority! That's the beauty of pbp, we can always wait a little

[Acathala]

I'm glad we still have another person, even if I'd be happy to the avengers it with Tom and Persephone. Classic British spy adventure tv series, not MCU.

[gavins38]

That sounds really rough for you and you have my sympathies. I'm more than happy to wait for you to fully recover before we dive into the game.

[Acathala]

In a week it will have been a month since HH's last time online. I'm going to give it that week, but I suspect that the game is at an end.
I hope HH is okay, wherever he is.

[Amarga]

Damn right? Things were sounding rough on their end, hope they're alright

[Acathala]

I'm calling game death. Sorry guys, I really wanted this one to keep going.

[Barrigan]

That's fair. I will live in hope and wait for a notification email of new posts. With luck our GM will return when life is less chaotic.

[RossN]

I'll also be around if we pick back up. I hope our GM is doing okay!
