Like why is that important? why is that something we've halted the flow of the game for 3 days for? It's been 7 days since the ball showed up, everyone has posted since then, and literally no one has made any mechanical attempt to inspect it. Most of the people are just sitting around looking at it, and the only two people actually trying to DO anything aren't even being acknowledged, effectively making those posts a complete waste of time to have written. <br/><br/>I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to do when I write a post explaining what my character does, and I am given literally nothing back in response. Not that he failed, not that something stopped him, <em>literally</em> nothing. Same with Ixy's post. We're essentially not even playing right now, which is especially baffling since we're the only two people who have actually taken an action to DO something all week. I know you said you weren't feeling the game anymore, but if it's gotten to the point where you're straight up ignoring people's posts, then you might as well just end it then, because I don't know how I'm supposed to play a game where I'm literally not allowed to play. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I am sorry that you feel like I am ignoring you, but that's just not the case.  I am listening to you.  I am thankful that you're actively attempting to participate, and extremely grateful that you're trying to move the game forward.  Thank you for challenging me.  Sometimes I need a kick in the butt because sometimes I'm not as diligent with people's time as I should be when I'm GMing.<br/><br/>But all of this happened within the context of my expressing my sincere belief that this game was not working three or four days ago.  I said that we need to fix the game or let it die.  We haven't fixed the issues yet.<br/><br/>Ultimately, Pdragon, the main issue that I have is that the game cannot revolve around everyone following your character around as he does stuff.  Sorry.  Other characters have to do stuff.  They have to want to do stuff.  If they don't, then the game can't survive.<br/><br/>And just to clarify: only your character attempted to pull the lever, and the action has remained unresolved thus far.  Both you and Ixy's character reached the lever unscathed.  Ixy's character never actually attempted to pull the lever.
