Just move on, I think, we need action...

Well, my post has lots of action in it, but unfortunately Gorin was the one to have it all. If we hurry we can catch the big brute and everyone can have his, or her, own share of the fun!

Hey everyone, I thought of PMing all of ya'll, but this would be easier.

I just wanted to say that there seems to be a dwindeling interest in this RPG. We have the choice to end this really fast at the point that we're at right now, or we can continue it.

Maybe I'm just over reacting. Sorry for sounding pushy.

Thank you Groin for posting.

For my part, it's mostly that I'm busy and I have too many things to do and everything seems to be on the priority list before this RPG. For example, I try to write first to the more active RPGs. Also, I have in general problems with writing to RPGs because I always imagine it takes a lot of time to write a post, even though it doesn't.

One more thing that has been troubling me is absences, most notably that of Durelin, the game owner. Where is she, why is she not posting what she promised to post? I'm kind of waiting for her to appear.

Furthermore, where is everybody else? I think everyone who still follows this thread should post a confirmation that they're here, and we should talk about the future of this RPG, like Groin suggested.

Meanwhile, I will post soemthing on the RPG thread. Sadly I can't do it now (it's late and I have homework to do), but I promise to come up with something before this week is over. Anyone who feels like it should post before me, of course.

I've been extremely discouraged and disappointed with the way this turned out. I'm new to the whole RPG thing here so I'm not sure what I want to do but I feel I've lost a lot of interest in this now.

Then I say that we should beging to end this. We're not far from the end: the warg is near and the defenders are all outside at the moment. So, I say that it shouldn't take more than a couple posts from each players to kill it (if that's what we want to do).

I don't support this idea. I dislike ending things that way. I think we should find (a) new game owner(s) from our midst (as Dury and Firefoot seem quite absent) and making this RPG roll on would be their responsibility. They should devise a short plotline, possibly negotiate it with the ordinary players and everybody should post frequently for some time and we would get this finished properly. For example, we could track the warg and vanquish him in some way and the return to our homes as heros. Doesn't sound too complicated, does it? But all this can only be done if there still are people who wish to finish, or even better, actually write this RPG, not just see it buried properly. I'm such person, but are there there others?

I think you're right, Thinlomien. I wouldn't like an abrupt, let's-get-this-over-with-as-soon-as-possible type of end to this game. I would find it a bit disappointing after all this time we've struggled with it. I think we could try to find a way to move things towards the type of end that you were suggesting and turn it into an interseting and good story as well-something that an abrupt ending would not do, and maybe that is why I'm oposed to it. So, I'm here, and still ready to see it through if the others are as well.
