If Shayuri's in your game, read this

[Shayuri]

So I was sitting and relaxing on Labor Day when I realized I have to cut back my games. Seriously, seriously cut back. I love joining games because I love making new characters, and I see possibilities in every new game folks pitch just about, but it's gone so far now that most days I have to choose between posting to more than a handful of my games, and doing -anything else all evening-.

It's become a drain affecting my personal life, and my energy in general. And as much as I've tried to avoid it, I am going to have to make some cuts. Time is the one budget you can't go into deficits on.

I haven't yet decided in full which games I'll be withdrawing from. This post exists to stiffen my resolve, since I'm aware that without specifics, no one knows if I'm going or staying with their games.

I'll update this thread, and the relevant game OOC threads, when the hard, hard choices have been made. Please understand I don't WANT to quit any games. I HATE quitting games. But the sheer volume of posting I've become saddled with is making all this more like a job (that I don't get paid for) than gaming...and it's decreasing the amount of time I can spend per post, meaning that everyone, not just me, suffers.

I hope there's no hard feelings. Thanks to all of you for making these games and giving me a chance to express myself creatively.

Very understandable. Monkey has gone through similar cuts in the past.

Let me know if there's anything I can help with over on the Asylum.

Thanks for posting Shayuri!

Ren1g was wondering where you were, so I posted a link to this thread.

Thanks Shay, there's no hard feelings. I'd prefer to know either way and if you decide to bow out of my game I definitely understand. You're a quality over quantity poster.

When it starts to feel like work and not fun it's a good time to back out. If you do decide to withdraw from my game, know that you're welcome back at any time.

Appreciated, everyone. I'm still deliberating, but I made a count. I'm in 21 games on Enworld by my count. 21 active, posting games (though several are very slow updating). Add in the games I'm in on other forums, and I estimate I am in a total of around 35 games.

It really kind of crept up on me.

35? Wow.

It happens to the best of us.

If you quit any games I am in, I will miss your characters. I only request that you not leave IG's those left behind game!

And I thought *I* was in a lot of games!

Good luck with the choices Shayuri.
