Hrm. Can we have Dárin's arguments before Valesseka runs off to find Éomeléo? That way the group can split up.

I just caught that, but I'm not sure I understand your question, Eomer. Would it be moving that particular inquiry to an earlier post or... something else?

It was a lovely post, Crystal, but Valesseka had -just- slipped away. : )

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 11-15-2007, 01:56 PM

You mean Sixth, right?

I just meant that Dárin's arguments could have taken place earlier (while Valesseka was still near him) and she slipped off afterwards. That way Dárin could continue with Arianna or Jen or by himself, and Valesseka could have gone off to find Éomeléo.

Now this shouldn't stop to this situation, should it?

Sure you can find some way to sttle things and someone can post.

I have the feeling this RPG's going on terribly sloooooooowly....

So... I'm trying to get this right: Sixth should have edited his post so that the RPG could have continued? He didn't appear, so the problem remained unsolved? (And no one bothered to start dealing with it...

)

I'm still here, but I have no idea about the others, except that it looks like Sixth won't be back and Glirdan, Crystal and Cordelia have disappeared long ago. Eomer and Valesse, are you still there? Do we ask pio to delete Sixth's contradictory post and continue? Or do we give up?

We could always make it so that Jen follows Eomeleo and Valesseka and for some odd reason manages to band up with them and then they go to rescue Thin-Gloomy and the Elves and Dárin are just left behind and no one knows what happened to them. But I don't know if this would work because it sounds od that Eomeleo and Valesseka would take Jen with them and if those three left, why would they go after Thin-Gloomy? Both problems can be overcome, even quite easily, I think, but it needs will to do so.

I only wonder if there is such will. I'm currently writing in two other RPGs and in an inn so I'm not heart-broken if I lose this one (especially as, I must say, this RPG never was particularly dear to me), but the very idea of deserting an RPG is unappeasing to me. Like I've probably said before, I dislike giving up. But it is pointless to go on, if there's only one or two people willing to do so. I think an RPG could go on with three players who have the motivation to finish it, but nothing less will suffice. Now, the question remains, do we have those three players, or not?

I have deleted the Sixth Wizard's post. Please use his character as you wish now, as well as those of all those who are no longer playing. Please let me know if any other posts need editing.

If you last three decide this game needs to close, then I can offer a solution so that it can at least appear to have been completed. You can write epilogues, or one epilogue together that let's any reader know how how the game might have turned out.

Let me know what you all think.
