If this game picks up again and I'm unusually quiet, it's because my schedule and PC/internet access has changed. This hasn't ever been a daily game, so I'm not quitting just yet.
Huh. I was going to split the difference between Connor and Flann and walk around openly, but disguised as another race to rouse less suspicion, but I noticed Everyman doesn't let you change your race apparently. Makes it kind of pointless for our purposes, unfortunately.
Think I'm going to officially drop out of this game. I've been struggling to figure Kotsi's place in this established party all along, and with my new workload sapping my energy to post in a lot of games, it seems like a good time to bow out of a few I'm just not feeling as much to free up my time and not string anybody along.
Thanks for having me MDT, and your game has a cool concept, but I could just never quite mesh with it.
Just to let you all know, I was travelling heavily 10/27 to 10/29, I'll be catching up on 10/30

Sorry to hear that. I always feel like that's my fault for not getting you into it. My low posting rate probably hasn't helped. Thanks for playing, and sorry it wasn't more enjoyable. :(
It's not really anyone's fault I think, just the natural result of me trying to hop into a game with 5-6 years of history behind it. it'd be like somebody trying to join KC's Age of Worms game after all these years; all of our characters have so many unique interactions with each other that bringing in a new character, much less a new player is hard.

GM has been putting in 70+ hours for the last 8 weeks (40+ at work, 25-30 per week doing home renovation). Last week I finally collapsed. Hopefully will be up again by the end of the week.

Apologies everyone.
I need to bring you up to date.
So, as you all know, new job.
Project is in a very bad spot since mid June.
My project lead quit a few weeks ago, and I got to take over. The new guy, is now the project lead. (I'm the only non-contractor on the project, so I'm the lead).
I'm working 50-60 hour weeks, and get pulled into 30 minute meetings that take 3-6 hours.
Basically, I'm so overloaded that I can't think straight, and trying to post is almost impossible. Even for playing, much less as the GM.
I am sorry to do this, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to shut my games down for now. The only question I have is, do you want me to pull the plug or just wait and see if things clear up in a month or two?
Regarding the game, no sense pulling the plug imo. I'm perfectly fine with a long delay. If that eventually does become a plug-pull, so be it, but no sense doing it if things eventually get easier, and it's not like I'm going anywhere.
Still here, I'd rather pause than give up the game. Even with Connor putting his foot into his mouth, it appears (I think I was half-asleep when I did that post).
Willing to wait! Will keep checking in. Or you can send an e-mail, mdt!
Hey, when you get the chance can you remove me form the active players list MDT? Didn't want to ask while you were away, but if you're starting up the game again I'd like it to fall of my list.
So in very fun and scary and exciting news, my wife just had a baby (our first) and we'll be bringing him home today or tomorrow hopefully.
I'm not planning on dropping any games as I'll be off work for the next month (is this hubris? Maybe!) but if it's not too much trouble, please feel free to bot me as needed in the immediate future. Thanks!
