I think Ro has stepped away due to work overload? She is not responding in any of the games we are in together for about a week now, so I ask for patience for her responses until she can get back.

Poly has been missing for quite a while now, not just here but everywhere on the boards. I have a total of three games with him and he stopped posting everywhere at about the same time.
Considering his frequency of posting right up until the stop around the end of October and his habit of giving notice if he would be away for a bit, this seems very worrisome to me.

I spoke with him about 2 or 3 weeks ago. He's having some personal issues. I won't speak for him, but I'm sure he would not mind hearing from you guys if you want to PM him. I'm also pretty sure he will return as soon as he feels like he can.

For the record, I did try and reach out to them.
Unfortunately without response. Not sure if swamping their inbox will do much good.
By all means, do write, I'm not your mum and not telling you what to do...just maybe try not to create a wall of text when you do :)

Well...here it goes:
I have been diagnosed with a bad ticker. And they are in a hurry to get it fixed: Next Tuesday I will be getting open heart surgery and a Heart Bypass at my local VA. That means I will be in the hospital for at least a week of recovery and home resting after that for weeks. I will attempt to keep up with my games, at least by phone for now, but I cannot guarantee anything after next Monday yet. That's assuming I survive. They gave me a pretty low percentage of something going wrong, but with any surgery you never know...
I am still available between now and next Monday however. If you need anything from me for this game until then, just let me know.
Either way, please feel free to bot my character as needed after next Monday, and I hope to get back to all my PbP games (by phone at least) as soon as I can. Hopefully by...Christmas? We'll see I guess.
=)

Same as said in the other threads here, but would not want to jinx it by omitting it in one: I hope things work out fine and do let us know when you are on the way to recovery so we can stop worrying :)

FINALLY: That's it! I'm off to bed and a 6am call at the VA. Wish me luck and I will see you all on the other side hopefully. Please bot my character as needed until I can post again later this week at some point. Everybody have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Made it. Lots of pain, but good people to help me through it.

I'm starting to think we need to look into a new GM. What do you all think?

Rojava Brishen |

Well, I'd heard a long time back that Poly had something come up and was temporarily away. But that was quite a ways back now. I'm thinking we're orphaned again.

Rojava Brishen |

I'm feeling like we've reached the end of the line. There aren't many GMs left around here anymore, and the ones that are have their hands full.
This has been a very special game, for me at least, the one I'm saddest to see go after all this time. It deserves an obituary, so one last Ro style post to send it off. I hope I've been premature in posting it.
I'll miss seeing you all here.
Well I remember Sandpoint summer nights
Just a bunch of kids, we could do no wrong
We'd walk the cobblestones in the day
Sweep the main drag all night long
And we used to move along so slow
Just listening to the sea winds blow
Now I just go out and drink my feelings
I'm searching for the small town thrill
Of a Sandpoint summer night
You know I'm gonna get it right
Big moon shining bright
On a Sandpoint summer night
Wear the soles right off my boots
If anybody asks, just let them know
I didn't like the way this city feels
I'm going to Sandpoint to find my soul
And we used to move along so slow
Just listening to the sea winds blow
Now I just go out and drink my feelings
I'm searching for the small town thrill
Of a Sandpoint summer night
You know I'm gonna get it right
Big moon shining bright
On a Sandpoint summer night
And thanks to Jacob Tovar for letting me rip him off without him knowing it. ;)
