Hello?  Hello! *Walks over in the large empty room* Yeah I know it's as devoid of life as a tomb here.... -------------- Okay guys. We need to talk. This game has been moving at a pretty darn slow pace, something I've come to accept as part of this group. We seem to be busy with life and maybe one post/day may be stretching some of your limits (and mine too on occasion). But this has got to change somehow. The pace is slower than a crippled turtle and we have to decide either to pick up and actually PLAY the game, or just abandon it completely. I don't mind continuing, but the post rate has to go up a bit. It's not hard to check and answer every day, ever if it turns into a one sentence post. Even just posting every other day is okay, if you can take your time to elaborate a bit. But I must ask everyone who wishes to continue to please be more diligent in answering posts. If you don't feel that you have the time, it's okay to drop out. It happens all the time in PbPs so no hard feelings, but right now we have to make a decision if we are to continue at all or not. What say you guys? I'm in if you still want to play. *EDIT: You know what? I'm going to put on my angry hat for a bit here. If you feel you're being falsely accused, feel free to ignore the following: I would like to point out that I DID list a few things I'd like this campaign to have, one of which was flow. (See point nr. 5 and 8 in the "What's this - read first" thread). Like I said there I'm not going to be a hard-ass in player participation but I seriously consider it bad play-style to let the game get as bogged down as this one has on occasion. This is not a game where you post “when you feel like it”, or one that you can just drop without telling anyone. It takes five darn seconds to inform the other players that you'll be out of touch for a few days, or that you'll be leaving the campaign. When you are part of a band or a hockey team you don't just stop showing up to practice for no apparent reason and if you do you damn well tell the others why. You participate, or you quit, simple as that. I know that RPG has the word “game” in itself and that it thereby has a tone of playfulness, but that does not override simple courtesy! The article where all of this was explained was in the link, and I've more than once mentioned to several of you that I'd like the game to have more flow and go faster. I’m not pointing fingers here. I’m just saying that the game has been way too slow quite a few times, and that something is to blame for it. So in the spirit of the group, I’ll just tell everyone to either shape up or get out. Myself included. /rant (I'm hungry, not a good combo when I'm irritated) |
