[QUOTE="reapersaurus, post: 645405, member: 1194"] cs - interesting that you didn't include the Heroes of the Worlds thread in the "dying" category. Isn't that pretty much dead in the water? that cause is DM non-involvement, right? Then there's some other ones I'm in I can comment on: your great (IMO) LightHearted Hack n Slash game is unique, in that you started it with the structure that can support a long haul. As long as you have a few participants that are dedicated, I think that it can last a while, even though from the recent posting amounts, it might seem in danger. Against the Storm is unique : it's the one PbP I've been in that has not stalled due to DM disinterest, but player disinterest. While DM_Matt alienated some players (myself included), I think he's done just about everything he can to revive the game, and his effort is admirable, including recruiting others to fill some roleplaying holes. Hopefully that will revive the game. Speaking of reviving, the Iconics Thread apparently cannot be resurrected from Piratecat's 2 stoppages. :( This 3rd stoppage will probably put a nail in it's Legendary and Infuential coffin, despite GnomeWork's efforts. New York by Night is in the midst of having the AFAIK unprecedented happen: having another DM fill in to continue the game. That is amazing, and hopefully will work. What are the statuses of other PbP games? I've always wished I had enough time to keep up with all the games - maybe those in them can summarize what's happened over the months in them (maybe a seperate thread idea?). At least post here whether they are active or not, and if not, why did they end? Did any end for any reason other than DM? [/QUOTE]
