:sweat2: Now you blame me just being lazy, for reinstalling Diablo 2 (and convincing Mick and F1 to join me on Battle Net), and for getting assigned four group projects and becoming project lead for two of them. And setting up a gaming event at the college I go to, finally got that approved and got some staff to supervise.

Hmm... Spring break starts next week for me, so provided that I don't hit a block or play D2 the entire time, I should have it all done and sent to Zero and Sidhe for proofing.

I'm terribly sorry about this wait, and I've given my excuses.

... okay. So you sort of did admit you were lazy.

... and at the same time, you're also busy.

Anyway. That sounds good. I'll be seeing you on battlenet then I suppose. Yes, I do play diablo II also.

And now it is March 23. Easter. Break for most people end tonight I believe. So any work done?

Its been a month and a half now. Well more or less. I think a lot of the players have already forgotten about this which obviously will lead to its failure.

It has a great amount of potential, but that's wasted if no work is done on it. We're stuck. This is my plea. Just put something down that will bump up the story. Let the players start posting again. THe fun's nearly gone with this little activity. Even the other active forum barely trickles in movement. We started off strong but are fairing worse than a writer with a block.

Just try to get something done aight.

I blame Sigfried.

But in all seriousness, Zeni disappeared way too long, and all of the RPGs suffered greatly from it.

That's bullshit. The RPG's could have continued without her around. People have collage and other things to occupy their time. We can't expect them to drop everything for an online thing.

Edit: Also we had a guide on how to continue ahead for TFF Caper.

I wanted to give you lot a chance to have your own battles before moving the plot ahead.

Honestly, I'm not sure what killed all activity all at once.

Personally, I think the whole "Mick made three Posts starring Mick, Zen and EI with no purpose whatsoever except to murder everyone's interest."

...... =_=

No, just no Vex. I have been working on a Christmas Caper post, as I think the next in the running for here is Locke. I think I may have forgotten the plan for Caper, but I will check the previous posts to make sure I don't screw up the time frame.

I hope.

The last post on Caper was over ten days ago, and the first post on the newest page was mine, and over a month and a half ago.

Yeah, if it wants to get revived we need a serious dose of purified Win and adrenaline.

Why do you think it is taking me so long, between my bouts of finding other things to do (Still haven't finished FSN or Gundam 00) and trying to work on my two fics but getting nowhere, I am trying to make the new post a lot better quality than the ones I normally post.

That and my last post nearly made me slam my head against the wall because it was so poorly done.

You know, this is ninja blitz. We just talked about everything but this thread. But that just proved my point on how the long hiatus killed people's interest. Pity I'm not part of Christmas Capers. It'd give me something to do.

Ignoring what Vex said because we got past that point, and I was told by others why they couldn't post in this thread or caper and that had nothing to do with whatever garbage I may have written before.

People have real life issues they need to take care of before they can post anything. If you don't understand that Vex that's toobad. People have things they need to take care of before they can post anything.

Forcing people to post when they don't have anything will churn out posts less then worth while.

If Locke still needs help with NB post I'll see what I can do, I just didn't want to nag him to death about this.

I don't consider a question on updates with about 2 weeks seperation nagging but maybe i'm not getting yelled at. Please do ask if he needs help. I know I do. But that's what happens when you break out of Creedmore.

Anyways, for the future, we need to find a way to increase communication and cooperation between admins. If Locke wasn't the only one writing this, it would have been done a long time ago. It isn't fair to make one guy do all the work. It would have been more efficient if we created a system so that posts can be worked on by multiple people. Then this wouldn't be an issue.

That's how it usually works, there was just one boss post he wanted to work on then we all would have been allowed to continue on.

Real Life happens, I know this. It happens at the worst times, and like a marauding bandit, makes off with all of your free time and spare change. Most often unloading as many headaches off onto you at the same time.

But to happen to every single participant (I believe we had over a dozen), for over two straight months can hardly be written off to Real Life, barring a Zombie Invasion.

A lot of people have college, some have said they had stopped because they couldn't keep up with all the posts before.

Some quit weeks before because of MMORPGS, some new, some old that cropped up. The problem is forum rpg's as fun as they may or may not be, can't compete with games like WoW,TF Online, and the like.

David wanted to write something for one of the other rpg's but he wasn't sure his post had enough content. Btw David if you see this I am willing to work out some kind of double post with you later.

A few of the guy's reasons were also confidential and I'm not at liberty to discuss. If they want to tell you on their own time that's up to them.

My hands are basically tied. I can't post until the story reaches the right point, since I'm playing a jounin and me suddenly appearing would probably screw things up.

I think a big reason for the slowness is the loss of Zeni. She's the kidneys of the whole TFF RPG forum. (We can survive without her for a bit, but after a short while, we collapse.)

Still, maybe this is a good opportunity for some other people to take the wheel.

But who would be the big question. I'd probably have the most time since I am a high school student and seniors don't do jack till college starts. But I don't have experiance.

If there's a job that needs lots of time and effort or constant effort, I'll be your go to guy.

Well I was going to try and handle the part with the chuunin exam. There have just been... difficulties keeping the boss battle here from being finished.

My Easter was ruined by health issues but, in any case, I've been waiting for the "go ahead" to write more posts. I do still have interest, but my hands are effectively tied.

It has waned somewhat, though, I will not lie. But if it gets going again I'll definitely be posting. (If anyone wants my help to try kick starting it back to life I'll see what I can do, too)

.... and its another week.


Any news perhaps. That is all.... and maybe a picture of my team and I within the week depending on how bored I am.

Can't let Zeni be the only one who can post awesome pics.
