[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6138738, member: 92511"] And to you. I do hope we'll be able to game again some time. Your post in the gamma thread seems to indicate I should be "removing myself" from there also...which is a shame. But good gaming and, again, thanks for the adventure. I don't believe this is a "hiccup" to [I]my[/I] logic. This somehow impedes your ability to continue play with the other 2 players and 2 more NPCs (Ring and now Amaya)? How exactly? That's a 4 character party (Iono, Simon, Ring and Amaya). No reason at all you couldn't continue with them. That is an inaccurate assessment. I decided which games[I] I would continue to be a part of [/I]or not...which [I]you state outright [/I]to be my right! My leaving, whether I am in 1 game of yours or 100, in no way "scraps" the whole game.(...unless, I suppose, if I [I]were[/I] the only player. But we know that's not so in these cases.) Noooo. I took it upon myself to remove my characters from the games. As you note, also below,[I] YOU [/I]are the DM. [I]I [/I]can not "end the games." I did not [I]make them[/I] "over." I simply removed myself. You have plenty of characters and players to continue. I don't believe anyone asked you too. The "why" you had not moved the game along is irrelevant to the fact [my decision was based on] that the game was not moving for [what I felt was] more than an acceptable amount of time. All I did was make [I]my[/I] choice about [I]my[/I] continued involvement. The choice for everyone else? You made that. Right. So, again, how is it[I] I [/I]ended the games? How is it[I] I[/I] ruined it for the other players? And if [I]you[/I] are not operating the game, then it stands to reason there is [at the time] no game to operate. Which I did. Which I did not. Again, how is it you can not continue with the other players? Because I was in 3 games, I have some mystical guillotine control?! Here or in the Alpha game. I am/was 1 PC in a group of 4 or 5 each. I chose[I] nothing[/I] as far as the other players are concerned. I did not cancel the games on them or say [I]they[/I] can't possibly continue. Yes. I removed some [I thought pretty neat] characters who were floating around in limbo not being used and removed myself from a game that I wasn't willing to wait around for any longer. These are, in fact, self-serving reasons...I no longer wanted [my pcs] to be floating around in limbo. So, as I believed was fairly common practice (and certainly didn't imagine it would be this big of a deal), I bowed out...which you [I]just said[/I] was my "acceptable recourse." So what's/where's the issue? Sorry you seem to be so upset by this. I will, of course, remove myself from the Gamma thread as well since it seems obvious you will continue to believe this is somehow "my fault" and[I] I've[/I] somehow ended [I]your [/I]games. Maybe some time, down the road, we can play together again. I am truly sorry you feel this way. Ciao, all. Happy gaming. [/QUOTE]
