[QUOTE="Mithreander, post: 1353525, member: 13791"] That game was mine, and it would have been good. Two of the players disappeared, and to be honest, I did not feel like taking the effort (and it does require an effort) to post another one hour post to have very few of the characters reply with more then one line responces. No, I'm not blaming the playeres, for the longer it took me to post, the more guilt I felt about posting, so I put it off even longer. This kept occuring until I had not posted for a little over a month. The result: The games I was playing in dropped me, and most of the games I DMed dies as well, except for those mentioned below. At the time I was DMing 5 adventures. Only two of them are still going. One of them, I'm the second DM of, and 3 of the players have been replaced. One of those players has hardly posted since he joined. My other game, I'm glad to say, has continued with the same players for over 4 months now with about 377 post so far. I'd like to see it move faster, but ey, this IS a pbp game! The game that Creamsteak killed had about 350 posts itself, and I feel a greeat amount of sorrow in not seeing it to completion, but the players did need to move on. It SHOULD have been done about 2 months ago. I was pushing it forward for the first couple of weeks, moving through several days worth of game time, but then I lost my momentum, and my players lost theirs as well (probably do to my loss). It finnally ended right when I had sucked in my belly to give it a go again. I could not exactly force the players to stay, since I could not tell myself or them that the same thing would not happen again. Needless to say, I'm now contenting myself with the two games I'm DMing and the ones that I'm playing in, a wopping 2 games from the 11 I had started in. [/QUOTE]
