<strong>@Everyone:</strong>We're going to continue to proceed as we are at the moment. I'm not going to take any direct action until the game has had a bit more time to mature. That said I am going to take this chance to reiterate the "smaller, quicker, momentum" based posting mantra that this game was designed with. While running a D&D game was something that I was interested in doing, it was the fluidity that such a game could allow that I was primarily interested in. As facilitating this game is my free time too, if I'm not able to get from it what I want, I won't continue to put energy into it. I'm not<em>playing</em>here, all I'm doing is organizing and storytelling. I'm not asking for daily posts from every player, but I am saying that this game<em>needs</em>to maintain momentum or my interest in maintaining it will drop off. I'm currently looking into an alternative way to handle GM posts, where I post after a set amount of days and let posting go freely between those posts but there are a lot of logistical obstacles with that, which I'll need to address before I even look into potentially working with it.<br/><br/>As things are, continue, and see if we can't make sure that this does not fall to stagnation.<br/><br/><strong>@Black Hats:</strong>I am going to be opening your chapter. For the sake of not brushing off the sudden loss of Rushiya, you'll all need to handle the IC curveball and we'll go from there. For the time being your group will operate with 4, and we'll see how they want to add an additional member to that. With that in mind you can work under the assumption that your meeting broke naturally from where it was at - Rushiya would have informed Eilsaadi that stealing the ship was even more foolish a plan; basically something to the effect of "five people slipping onto a ship is easy to hide, a ship leaving the port<em>will</em>be seen and they will give chase".<br/><br/><hr/><br/>I'll try to have stuff up before the weekend is done. Admittedly this has done some pretty serious damage to my desire to write, so I'm not currently able to formulate anything that even resembles a reasonable post. My apologies.
