XD He needs to be swapped for someone else anyway.<br/><br/>Would things go any better if someone more prominent on E were running the game? I've been thinking about it lately. I'm still interested in running this, but my presence on this site is minute, and given that E is supposedly a close community, I can see how that might be a problem, so if passing the torch on to someone else would help, and if anyone would be open to taking said torch, it could be done.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Haru, first of all I would like to say that your presence is like an acorn, or (if you will forgive the biblical reference) a mustard seed.<br/><br/>A seed can remain dormant and apparently dead for years, doing nothing, being minute and insignificant. Until suddenly the right conditions come along and it germinates. It puts down roots and established itself, then puts up a shoot and if conditions remain favourable, it will grow tall and strong and become a presence to be reckoned with. Even a car travelling at 40mph can't put a dent into a well established tree (I know this from personal experience from a few years back)!<br/><br/>Just bear this in mind...<br/><br/><pre>      If your mistakes are many<br/>      And your rewards are few,<br/>      Remember that the mighty oak<br/>      Was once a nut like you!</pre><br/><br/>So, to be serious for a moment (It's a struggle, but I manage occasionally): This is your game, you had a vision for how you wanted it to be. If it hasn't acheived that vision, don't be discouraged: very few group games do. I have lost count of the number of group games I have started and had fold, never mind the ones that never even got going.<br/><br/>If you really don't want to continue running it, that is fare enough, but it's worth pointing out that a small group rarely survives the loss of the original GM.<br/><br/>I honestly have no idea why the gay male players on this site seem to be so shy about group games. There are plenty of them out there... My best suggestion would be to create a new recruitment thread for the game specifically asking for gay or bi male players or characters.<br/><br/>Of course the other thing is that the game seems to be neither story-biased nor smut-biased... Which could leave people wondering what is happening. This is just my opinion of course. But If you want to throw some ideas for events back and forth, I'm willing to do so by PM.
