+1 to the "please don't kill this game!" column, TC! :o

I absolutely love this game, my character and the party interaction here. I think that it's worth continuing in all and every regard. Obviously, you as GM have to be having fun running it as well, but I would agree with the others that it's just a slow week here and that many folks are likely busy with RL stuff versus it being a loss of interest in any way.

Things have been slow on the boards recently and it happens a lot around the holiday season from what I've seen. I know I'm responsible for slow posting here in the games I play and run. It frakking sucks! :(

I've been stuck working the last two weekends and all the daily OT has been running me into the ground. Not trying to make an excuse for myself as much as trying to reassure you that I have not lost interest here in any way. PbP is a slow format to begin with and it can get tough to be patient with it when it slows even more. Imho, this game does NOT suffer from a lack of interest.

Yeah well I WILL give an excuse for my impatience. A game Bhart was running that I enjoyed recently ended, a character I liked in DMWs game got snaked and he's making me wait for rule changes to start anew, and another game I'm in has slowed (no fault of the DM ) So I've got nothing to do. :)
Then we went a few days with no posts...I was depressed and bored.
I have no problem with RL excuses and welcome them but I didn't hear anything from anyone and, like I said, I got impatient. I apologize for jumping the gun.

A squeaky toy noise can be heard from the ship's cargo bay as time seems to remain frozen. The dralasite, mustering all the might id has, manages to break through the wall of silence, the freezing of time. The Goosh stands in wonder as the humans stand in their battle positions, like statues, their faces contorted to strange expressions. The flashing lights in the room, glow a steady glow as they flash no more but stay illuminated in the this strange world of the unmoving. The Goosh takes advantage of this momentary time freeze and renews id's search for the fabled pringles of the ship. ;)
Even a child that receives one bit of praise has the ability to excel in a single talent, and those who receive regular encouragement can feel confidence, achieve success, and become leading members of society. Because they don’t believe they are worthless, they don’t need to raise a fist and have vengeance against fate or the world at large… ~Inspector Lunge

Ooof, I heard you were a bit on the sick side, but I didn't think it was that bad! I'm glad your on the way of recovery now, take your time tooley. I'm sure many of us are patient enough. ;)

+1 RL stuff, especially health concerns & issues, trumps all.

And I'm still in for the duration here, btw! :)

What REALLY sucks is spending all that time in bed and not even having the energy (or state of mind) to pick up my laptop. I really wanted to playtest Elite:Dangerous but I was really out of it... :(

Haha, I almost forgot that we are all kind of in the same games, a little sub group of the unseen servants? Could a new power be rising?!??

Here's hoping that he's just getting some RL drama sorted and will be back soon.
