Though I warn you, Glirdy, that you should probably come up with a date that ends the pause and when people should start posting again (and you, of course, show example

). In my opinion, with a clear deadline the risk of the continuing day moving further and further away and finally the RPG becoming inactive and players losing interest is smaller.

And sorry if I'm appearing too bossy though I don't think I have any more - if even less - experience or knowledge in these things that you guys do.

I like the idea of just keeping it 'rumbling' on slowly, as Eomer put it. I've see a good many role plays in my day (wheezewheezesputter) and once time is taken away from game play it's usually harder to get back on it's metaphorical feet and walking the same... again metaphorically.

Who knows? Maybe by some weird chance there's going to be a day or two this holiday season where we're all posting here like werewolf players... okay, maybe thats optimistic, but it -could- happen!

Erhm, I'm gettin kinda antsy for you guys to get to my cabin.

A pause over the 24th and 25th would be a must, but other than those two days I'm wide open for time. I do think that if the pause is any longer than say three or four days that the rpg might lose it's momentum and we may lose interest. I definitely would not make the pause into the new year Glirdy. Like Lommy said, if you personally don't have the time to write(right now)...then let us know when we can get started again and we can post to keep things moving?

Okay...I have taken all opinions into final consideration and have decided that on the 24th-26th, we shall have a slight pause. I am also quite content with moving slowly if we must, I am just worried about Crystal and Cordelia's characters. So, Crystal and Cordelia, if we must, would you like us to carry your character until your return?

Thinlómien · 12-20-2006, 07:23 AM

If we are going to advance slowly, then I don't post until January. I only have one post in mind that is essential for the TG-storyline, and it maybe should be posted just some time before the rescue.

But, it's not sure I will be back in the 'downs until next year. If that's the case, I wish you all a merry christmas!

Cordelia and I have talked about it and we both would like you to carry our characters. We will be back on Jan. 24th. If you could carry our characters until then that would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the inconvience Glirdan!
