Industrygothica's "Those Left Behind" [OOC]

I know my vote is for remaining here.. Sure there's problems from time to time, but they seem to get it in check. 'sbeen working fine for me so far tonight, perhaps the storm has passed?

or maybe the hostile takeover by the mega corps has been temporaily averted! (sorry, cyber punk flashback...)
 

Second time I've tried to post here... maybe this one will work.

Anyway, I'd prefer--for now, at least--to leave the game here. EN World has been good to us all, and I'd hate to bail on them completely because of a few glitches that I'm sure will be worked out in time.

That being said, I may take this time to convince my better half to let me spend some money on some webspace, and set up a forum there to use as a sort of overflow here. EN World just has so many users coming and going, I'm amazed that there aren't more problems than there are.

Hopefully I'll get to update the game thread today or tomorrow. We'll see what time and luck allow.
 

That's a cool idea about the back-up space! What all is involved in doing that? Scotley, think we should think about something like that to complement our players' wiki for our game?

But, overall, I concur with the great happiness that enworld made such a speedy recovery. It's just that when it goes down, I get the withdrawals SO BAD that I'm willing to consider almost anything to get my game juice as soon as possible. (I had this Jones whipped, too, until you dragged me back into it, Scotley! Curse You!! :p )
 

Hey, Folks,

I'm sorry for the short notice, but I'm going to be sporadic over the next week or two, due to some issues with my landlord. My landlord is wanting to sell the house that I am renting, which is not longer under a lease, thus he wants me out, ASAP.

In fact, he called today and told me that he is sending a 3-day notice to vacate, which I have to decide if I want to fight, or just move out. On top of all of that, I'm also debating about moving to another state, so as to recover from other economic issues.

Anyhow, please feel free to NPC my character if I do not respond in a reasonable amount of time. I'm posting this message in all of my PbPs, no disrespect intended, I'm just trying to be efficient.

Once again, I'm sorry for the disruption. Thanks for your patience.

Robert
 


I can't speak for Idaho, but in Arkansas, the only time that a notice to vacate can be accomplished that quickly is in the case of non-payment of rent. But.......when you really think about it, why would you want to stay in a house where you weren't wanted even one minute longer than you had to? Still 3 days isn't much time to make all the arrangements, so best wishes for your success in that. More free legal advice: there is ABSOLUTELY no future in any sort of litligation that involves a lease of real property. Probably the best outcome that you can hope for is to spend a few thousand on legal fees. Even if you hire a hotshot lawyer who somehow manages to impose liability on the landlord, you'll still be in a pickle because it'll cost you more money to collect the judgment, and your whole idea of "home" in the leased property will be totally shot to hades. So you'll probably wind up moving no matter what. My advice (absolutely guaranteed to be worth every cent that you've paid for it): don't fight it.
 

I think he was referring to fighting the fact that his douche-bag of a landlord gave him 3 days to move. Here in Canada, that's what we like to call Illegal.
 

Yep. Jemal is correct. It is illegal in California too...I was in property management in the Bay Area for awhile. It sounds to me like he's trying to intimidate you. If he actually tried to boot you, unless your state is -wildly- different than Cali, he'd be opening himself to liability the likes of which God Himself has never seen.

...

Okay, I exagerrate, but you get the idea. :)
 

It's due to past due rent, which per Idaho law means he is allowed to send me a three day "pay or leave" notice, thus it's all legal.

I could fight it, to a degree, since he was verbally okay with being late on the rent, due to my current unemployment situation and being almost totally broke. Heck, if not for some kind folks who donated to a pay pal link, I'd have been eating cat food for the past few weeks.

Anyhow, I can't afford the simply storage unit that I'm trying to arrange for, right now, let alone pay the back rent, so for the first time in my 35 years of life, I'm getting tossed out of a rental. It's surreal.

But, after a month and a half of zero incoming funds, I've got my unemployment started again, first check hits next week, and I've got an excess tuition check on the way, too.

So, by the time I get the notice, all should be okay and I'll be staying with some friends, while planning and saving for my big move back to Oregon.

Gotta love life, really. *chuckles*
