DayVampyre, there is a right way and a wrong way to address issues. Using anger and invective is the wrong way.

If you have a problem with the time limits placed on games, you should PM the Mod for Rohan (me) to discuss it. I'd be happy to listen to reasonable discussion and disagreement.

You should not use the occasion to attack people who are trying to make the game work. Child of the Seventh Age has gone to considerable trouble to help the game owners find solutions to the many confusions they were running into with this game. Having so few gamers around to post will only make matters worse--carrying that many other characters is a great challenge--especially since the game owners themselves have dwindled in number. And it's not like Child was calling for the game to be permanently closed.

And Child is the Bard for Rohan, after all, responsible for mentoring games here. She was doing what she is supposed to be doing, looking out for the bests interests of the game.

I think it in the best interests of the game to call it suspended until a majority of the gamers can return to continue it. At that point, the game owners can call all the gamers back, provide clear direction for the plot, and have replacement gamers ready for the Entwives and the baddies.

Thus, the game will be temporarily closed Tuesday at noon. Any gamers please feel free to PM me about the decision or for explanation of why time limits are important.
