So, just to give everyone a status update on my life -<br/><br/>My work has exploded, busyness wise.  Good things have happened, but there's a project I'm working on which has been absolutely manic, and I'm looking it doing a sixtyish day test with 10-12 hour days, seven days a week.  I did the same kind of test last year, and it was extremely busy, and this year they've tripled the workload and reduced the number of employees working on the project by half.  (I did seventy hour weeks easy last time.)<br/><br/>So, my focus is likely going to be wholly subsumed by work for the next few months, and trying to focus on E and running Shadowrun/Doomtown is nigh impossible.  Just the prep stuff has been all consuming, and unlike other tests I'll have little opportunity to do any E stuff while I'm at work.  (High visibility, etc.)  With that in mind, I'm going to need to put the game on a hiatus of some kind, and I'm likely going to be unable to post for the next two months, and my career is riding on the success of this project; I can't afford to give it anything less than my best.<br/><br/>I still intend to be around E, lurking and playing 1 on 1's and a character in another group game.  But for now, I need to put my group games on hiatus.  That said - this game was always intended to be very self directed.  I will do my best to answer PM questions, and in the interests of letting the game continue to play, I'm going to state the next two weeks in game are going to be 'open' for socializing and non-plot critical game play.  If there's a question of a GM character, shoot me a PM and I'll let you know how they'd reply in a general sense; hopefully that gives people the opportunity to continue to play.<br/><br/>Sindra can answer any and all GM questions, and has full authority for character approval, etc.<br/><br/>Just to be perfectly honest with everyone, I'm very worried about my ability to continue as a GM for Doomtown.  I don't know if the rest of the year is going to lighten up at all; the way my work tends to run is very feast or famine, and I absolutely have to capitalize on work when it's available.  I will do my best to keep everyone informed, but this last week I've pretty much fallen off the planet and that may well happen again.
