I truly thank you all for your points of view, and I will take them to heart. So while I'm not going to shut this game down, I think I will put it on hold until next Friday (7/10) to get it all straightened out. Once again, I really appreciate the honesty, brutal or otherwise, I really needed it.
Alright everyone, as promised I'll re-ignite the game today. It will probably be after I get back from work though, I've got some finishing touches to plan out. Again, I thank you for your patience.
No worries, I've recently had a what one might call, creative chernobyl. Anyways no rush.
Well I didn't get a chance to chime in earlier, so here goes.
This is one of my favorite campaigns I've ever had on here, but yeah it did need some thought and a re work. I feel like even though we have a great party dynamic, we tend to beat around the bush. I'd say once you get a gameplan, don't be afraid to railroad us a little if we get off track or are sitting around. So far as the references, I like them, and I use such things in my own campaigns, but the trick is to make sure the characters have a point and develop like their own NPC's, not requiring prior knowledge.
So far as the Party, we have a fantastic dynamic and we're all pretty good for roleplay and such. We do spend a crapton of time on my ship, which makes it tough sometimes, but I think it's more that not everyone knows how much creative license we can take. Any time I don't have something to do, I just make something up that needs doing. That would be chaos at a table, but here we have time to think it out and GMSCV can improvise around us just fine if we don't go crazy.
I'm excited to continue with you all :)
Hello everyone..
been out of it (of sorts) with this game...
finally got to reading the stuff today.
but I have to admit, there has been little motivation on my end to contribute much.
I still have about 40 game posts to read through so not sure what to expect... probably a lot of talk that Terra really has nothing to contribute on...
as for posting I lost access to post from work as well as my phone and my tablet. I am on a shared laptop now.
I catch up as I can, but to be honest, I go to the games that I have the most contribution in first.
BTW did anyone notice my absence?
Oh please...don't be ridiculous. Of course we noticed, we've all been busy with our own issues. But yes, and you contribute or you don't contribute, that's up to you so don't put it off on us.
Yes.
Yeah we noticed.
Flynt noticed. There are three interactions he tried to have with you. I figured you were too busy to reply.
That was pretty much the case with all of us Edward. We've all lost the ability to use wayfinder and our posting ability has totally slowed down. We just figured that like Tikkle, you didn't have a way of posting.
Also, I cut one of my knuckles open and put a hole it while trying to open a damn container of garlic powder to refill my smaller container. It hurts like a summanabiotch.

Garlic powder? I have no words, Gashka. There isnt enough bubblewrap...
Tell me about it. I was trying to open the stupid lid and couldn't so I used a spatula to try and force it open, but then when it open my finger somehow got scraped across the lip of the lid tearing a hole in it. So, now I have a hole in my finger. *sigh* I don't have to worry about other people hurting me, I'm enough of a danger to myself.
Yes, we noticed your absence Terra, but as Gashka said, posting capability for all of us has been slashed severely.
I feel like crap...some sort of stomach virus, must have been something I ate? will try and get something posted tonight...been feeling like crap last day or two with this.
soooo. you remember way back when we were just little kids, I mean before the piper mess....
well I found this video of Flynt when he was just a little heartbreaker...
Ha. That's awesome.
GUYS WAYFINDER WORKS AGAIN!!!

Awe man.....I really miss going to those. *Sigh* stupid people in Arkansas don't even know what that is. *Sad face* I made such a pretty wench in my day too. Though my costumes were hand made by my mom. She made me actually a really pretty green dress with fitted bodice, bell sleeves wuth gold inlay and a beautiful trim. There was lace and a gold cord in the back to cinch it closed with. Sorry.....that was several years ago and hardly matters now. I was just reminiscing....or whatever. Have fun.....eat a turkey leg for me. Ill just be sitting at home since Mr. Henry has to work this weekend. *Very sad face*

Right there with you Gashka. I can't remember the last one I was at.
Yeah....but at least you live in Cali where you have access to one if you really want to go......these super ass backwards hicks don't. They don't even know what it is. The closest thing they have to that out here is the SCA and Mr. Crazy ass carving into my chest belonging to that group sort of made me not want to have anything to do with them.
-Posted with Wayfinder
I would so dig going to one. There's a big one upstate but I never have time.
Uhm yeah....no way, unless you want me to have to get on a plane, FedEx a katana to myself there and introduce him to what a blademaster can do.
Hence why I didn't bother going to any of their events after we broke up. Well...after I dumped him, he told me I would never have another man's child since I refused to give him one.....did I say he was crazy? Anyways, then that whole business of carving into me? Hells no I don't wanna have anything to do with him or his crazy ass friends that put it into his head if he "bedded me", their words not mine, that I would give him a son who would be like the next Aurther or some such crazy s#$@. This is AFTER him telling me that he didn't want to be with me because I wasn't enough of a dominatrix or whatever and showing me scantily clad women in an anime book and telling me that he'd only stay with me if I could look like that....it was some crazy dominatrix cartoonie type book and it was nuts....just pure crazy in every way shape and form and when I told him I would never be that....he said we were done.
It was after that, after he talked to his so called "circle" of friends that this one person told him that he had to make me take him back for this crazy s+@% reason......see the problem I was having was he was a lunatic and no matter what happened it was gonna end badly....but I digress.
Would love it if you came on a plane, but only if Siven and X were with you; and even though I would LOVE to see you totally school his ass since he thinks he's such hot s#+% with steel, his stupid pathetic ass ain't worth enough for you to do something that could come back on you. Hhmmm...I guess he's only hot s@$# with it if his victim is passed out totally unconscious. But hey....who am I to judge?
Trying to restrain my more.....vengeful tendencies right now. It would be good if when we all eventually meet that guy's not in the same state.
Well...I've seen where he works. It's the Wal Mart out on Highway 10.....but I had to book it to get out of there with Henry before he saw him and something got started that I wouldn't be able to stop, because Henry knows everything that a~@&$#% did to me....if something had started that evening in the walmart....it wouldn't have stopped until he (Kevin) stopped moving....permanently, and I wasn't gonna lose my husband over some stupid a$@&!+$ crazy moron who isn't worth the time of day.
Which is exactly why when we meet....if for some reason it's here where we live....I will never show you where that wal mart is and we will not go there and wait for him to get off work and follow him home. Because he's not worth Siven losing you over some dumbass piece of s!*$. He's not even worth going to jail for....are we clear?
Damn...I need catfish.
Just feeling all that again used up a lot of energy. I gotta get outta here and stop thinking about him.
Yup
Well I'm out now. Now we're talking about gangs and s$$!. Lol
-Posted with Wayfinder
Heh
Its okay....I don't even know how it came up but Henry was looking something up about 18th street and then seeing what the areas that we used to live in got taken over by. I guess cuz I was talking about my dreams of people getting shot at which made me remember when I was in highschool and nearly caught in crossfire between rival gangs that were basically fighting over the territory around my highschool. It's really a wonder that I'm not dead.

looks like today is the Ren Faire, Tomorrow we are going to Hershey's Chocolate World. make your own candy bar sounds like fun, and a King Tut mask made out of Twizzlers
You have NOOOO idea how jealous of you I am right now. Our power has been out since about 5 this morning and now it's over 80° in the apartment. It's supposed to come back on at noon....but we'll see. Man my head hurts.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Everyone still here?
I am.
yeah...it's just been a really stressful couple of weeks and having stupid wayfinder...the whole reason I got a lame ass touch screen phone thingy in the first place....not working again makes things a little difficult.
I'm not even sure how much Aaron is gonna be able to post now since things have gotten so stupidly ridiculous with their "security" measures. I wish I could strangle them, I hope they choke.

If you're not sure then Jin's doing his job right.
I'm here too. Work's just been rough.
Lol, alright there ninja boy.
I'm home from camp now, so after today I should be back to being able to post from my pc almost daily. In a week or so I'll be back at school and probably back to being aboard rat around here.
Sorry...I'm trying not to go off on hospital billing people cuz I know they ain't responsible for the stupid s+&& the doctors, their office people, or the insurance people do....but it doesn't stop me from wanting to have a METEORITE blow their asses up to kingdom come. May they all burn in Hell.
Okay....I was hurting too much to take my shower...soak...whatever first. I have bruises just everywhere and just about every bit of my legs at least is killing me. My job is like doing a billion squats a day while picking up anywhere from 16-25 pound or so kiddo's while in motion constantly.
I love it and can't really imagine myself doing anything else....at least not at the moment unless I get to finish school at some point and go into some kind of actual therapy with children. Whatever it ends up being it has to be with kiddos, cuz they is the most amazing creatures on the planet.
I was hurting so much I let Henry take his shower first. It hurts to stand right now and I'm thinking I need to soak my muscles....but I had to get them to stop hurting so bad...or at least let some of the swelling go down first....so I took some naproxen....or I think I took some naproxen...my face is hurting too cuz of that tooth. Eating makes it worse....I would say that I could go without eating, but then I would get yelled at...so I won't do that.
Anyways....after I think I remember taking the naproxin for my face and realizing that I wouldn't be able to even get into the tub, and having fallen in that thing once already...I don't want to repeat it...so I also took my little 15mg Meloxicam tablet. It's just another type of anti inflammatory. Hopefully I'll be able to get in the tub soon....just wish it was a little larger.

Just focus on feeling better. And your first few sentences describe childcare pretty accurately. :)

They LOVE climbing on me and if I sit down for even a moment, I have three to four of them fighting over me, on top of me, using me as a bouncy house....but ya know what? I wouldn't trade it for any amount of money in the world, or anything else for that matter.
Exactly.
Quick note to say where I have been...
spent the last two days moving my son to NYC in his new Dorm at college. been long hectic couple of days.
tomorrow I may need some rest I hope to get caught up more late tomorrow.
I am sorry about being silent.

It's okay...totally understandable. I'm excited for your son, I think he'll do great.
Feeling a little better after my SWPBN--Salt Water Power Bath Nap ;oP
New school year for us too and it's been super hectic with all the new kiddos and trying to help them get used to the changes. Some of them in preschool for the first time....it's not been easy.
