We could have the other characters killed or vanished. Then we could carry on as a humorous odd couple.

I'd read that.

My friends, a real apology. My teenage mentality must mess around with me despite my determination to be level-headed and rational. Sure, I can 'get over' things, but it was downright selfish of me to not contact you. You have every reason to be resentful or angry towards me. I think I will write something more substantial on this matter in the afore-mentioned LiveJournal.

Real life issues aside; I think I personally have expended most of my possible creative brainpower upon this game. I'm not so sure anymore that chasing players - mainly the biggest slacker of all, ME - and demanding with differing numbers of exclamation marks for us to post is worth the effort. If some others still wish to continue, that's fine and I'll participate much more actively ... but ... is anyone else in the mind for a fresh start? I'm not sure there's much we can gain by continuing here.

That's just my opinion.

Sixth - I'm not resentful or angry with you, but to be honest I am/was annoyed.

Personally I disagree with you, but that's because I hate giving up in general and I haven't lost all my enthusiasm about this game yet. I believe this could still be great fun if everybody was active and somewhat enthusiastic. In this current state, I'm not so sure.

First of all, AH! No! I live!

*hugs* Sixth, its alright to be human. Blogs are -incredibly- tempting places for that inner teenager to take control. If you've seen my lj, it'll tell you just that. Yikes. None of us have been saintly to this RP, but the fact that we keep coming back, apologizing for not posting should say something about how we feel about the game itself.

I don't want to start over again, like Thino (and, erm... my shot-in-the-dark fresh post I just made) said. Though it doesn't seem like much has happened, I don't believe the remaining players might not have as much of a connection. Eomer suggested the other players are lost in some manner or another-- (I'm not so sure about the killing bit, though it is dramatic and therefore strangely tantilizing)-- and if, by some manner of luck, they were able to return and re-join the game we could have their character found again or another new character introduced.

Now I know I did -somewhat- disappeared from BD (which didn't really help anyone's nerves here, I'm sure) but just so you know it has and will remain my homepage albeit my role changed from poster to simple lurker (and back to poster! Rawr!)

** Valesseka would never allow Jenfred to take her Gondorian, anyways. ;D

Haha, Valesse, I love your attitude.

Great to see you back.

The Sixth Wizard · 09-30-2007, 11:34 PM

I dislike giving up too, but I like to think there's a limit when it would be more beneficial to just stop, when we're just being "clingy". After hearing you two just now I'm not sure if we've hit it yet...

So -- has an agreement been made to continue the game? If so, who will begin posting?
