After some encouraging words from Ama, i'm here now. It's a long but also short story that can basically be summed up as: I wussed out after I got to Florida and stayed away from the roleplaying scene, and by the time I realized how long it'd been, I continued to stay away. But she reached out... She helped me realize I was being a bitch for no good reason. She also told me some trouble was going down here.<br/><br/>If I can make up the effective two month hiatus and try to help repair the damage is done, i'm ready to. If at all possible, i'd also like to see if we can bring MadPanda back. I haven't read up on what's happened, so i'm still all sorts of dazed at the moment, but i'd like to see if I can make us a group again.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Ama?  I don't think I'm familiar with them, but I'm glad they've been able to help you through whatever's been keeping you away a little.<br/><br/>But I also don't want to force you to come back just to keep the game contiguous.  I've been there, in that position, and I want to make sure that you come back on your own terms.  That said, I just want to make sure that you're sure.  If you think you're ready, I'm definitely not going to say no.<br/><br/>As for MadPanda, that's his prerogative.  My last response to him probably could've been worded better, but I was starting to get pretty frustrated, both as a GM with (what I thought was) a simple ask and someone who was starting to get talked down to.  I just want to work together with you guys for this RP.  I've seen things go sour fast too many times before when we don't communicate what we want and want to do OOC.<br/><br/>Now, on that note, I do have a friend who might be interested in joining.  He's a pretty good RPer (the one that got me into it in the first place) and I think he brings a lot to the table when it comes to crafting rich, vibrant settings and filling with similarly interesting characters.<br/><br/>When I say that I think putting this RP on hiatus is a good idea, I don't mean for it to be some scary sort of "Indefinite" thing.  The holidays can be stressful and it sounds like you're just easing back in, Gard, so maybe we could just take December off.  Perhaps come back in the first week of January and get things moving again with refreshed and ready minds.  If, however, we all come to the agreement that we'd like to continue without the hiatus, I think we can manage it.  I just want us to have that conversation, first.
