OOC: Decision
Aug. 7th, 2008 12:39 amAngela here.
Okay, so a few weeks ago I asked for opinions on the continuation of the game. I got the same response from everyone: that you definitely wanted to keep playing, but would understand and be okay if we stopped.
...Unfortunately I think I'm going to have to make a decision based on actions, not words. No one's been playing. So that's cool, I'm not really surprised. But it tells me the game is dying. We're all a little sad about it, but we know it's true. Time to move on.
...But not yet! I want to go out with a bang! Becca and I have been cooking up some ideas for an End to the Game. For our Grand Finale, we would like to invite back old players who have enjoyed the game in the past. I was thinking Dar, Lauren, Lisa, Mandy, Carrie (she played Hughes and Hughesmunculus back in the day), Tess (she played Ling, and briefly Izumi), and Lauren's friend Shiyou (she played Emo!Havoc). ...I'm trying to figure out if I can contact Tess. If there's someone else who used to play that you would like to invite back, let me know. I think it would be cool if some of them came back to play for a bit, leading up to and during the Finale.
So we were thinking of having the Finale in mid-September, to give Lauren time to get back from Texas (she is one person I know who is definitely interested in participating). I know it's kinda far in the future, but I'd like to get started figuring out when might be a good day to have a massive log of awesome. How does either the 12th, 13th, or 14th of September sound to anyone? We can change this date later if necessary, I'd just like to make some vague plans.
In the meantime, I would like gameplay to continue as usual... with some events that Becca and I will be throwing in, leading up to the finale. I'd like to encourage all players, old and new, to bring back any of their old characters and npcs that they want, for the duration. Come play! Please? Just a little bit? I promise it will be fun! And please reply to this post, especially to the Finale-scheduling bit.
Peace.

Date: 2008-08-09 10:06 am (UTC)I think a Grand Finale sounds like a good idea, definately. Inviting old plays back in a nice idea, too. :) I think I can do anytime in September; I shouldn't be doing anything (other than some reading for my Uni course, which I can put on hold).

Date: 2008-08-09 11:16 am (UTC)Real life notwithstanding, if you're around and feel like playing, please do. I made the last post and got like, one comment. And then nothing happened at all for two weeks. So I feel kinda like a hypocrite asking people to post when I'm not, but on the other hand I don't feel like posting when I feel like no one's gonna respond.
...This is not pointed at you, specifically, btw. Just putting it out there. I know we've all been busy, but... gah. *wants to plaaaaaaay*

Date: 2008-08-09 06:50 pm (UTC)I'm around for about a week, then I'm going away (again, argh, my family have organised, like, three holidays this summer! O.o) for two weeks. But after that, I should be around. So, yeah - I'll be playing for now, at least. :)
I understand - it must be frustrating. And I feel like a complete hypocrite saying that I wanted to play and then ... sort of not doing. Sorry again.
