OOC: House Millithor in COSQ part 3

[Brother Shatterstone]

This isn't an attack on anyone, because I'm not sure where the problem lies, but this game has been awfully slow since I re-started. It's hard to tell timing, etc., when I was reading the back posts from when I was gone, but recently there has been very little action and hardly any interaction between characters.

I do agree, I know that their is IC reason for this, like Kilcif not being much of a character, and theirs OOC reasons, I know Dalamar is hard at work on finals and I know Endur is busy with travel.

Are people getting sick of the game? I miss all the OOC banter, etc. Is there OOC tension that I'm just missing? Do people have a lot of OOC distractions? I know Thels does.

I can't really think of an OOC tension besides my own, but its known and for the most part has been addressed and really doesn’t need to be brought to light right now but know of that reflects upon this game or Endur, who I think has done an outstanding job.

I think there are two types of posting, proactive posting and reactive posting.

Aye, I agree and certain character should do certain things. As an example that at least most of you know, I couldn’t run off and do stuff with Kilcif like I could say Brystasia. Kilcif is a subordinate and nothing more.

I can see three roads from where we are today.
1) End the Game;
2) Let someone else take over as GM (Brother Shatterstone?);
3) Continue the Game as is.

Well I know I can't do number 2. I've yet to read the DMG and most of the spells in the PHB. Anything I could come up with would quickly be destroyed. Besides I don't do Drow...

Besides that this isn't my call nor should I have a vote in it but I am paying attention and always have been.

I've made a concious choice to play this game a bit more hands off, and give the other players more freedom in how to accomplish our goals, but I suppose I may have taken my passivity a bit too far. I like this game and I want it to continue, I will try to do what I can to make it more fun for you.

I myself tend to be a very reactive poster, especially when I'm just getting into the game; that's why I haven't put in much at all. I simply don't know the characters well enough to know what initiative to take.

 

[Endur]

I was serious in my suggestion regarding my willingness to have another GM take over if we have any volunteers for the GM chair. I have a lot of real life issues going on right now.

 

[Serpenteye]

I've got next to no experience at DMing, so I'm afraid I can't help you there.

I know you do boss... If I honestly thought I could do it I would but I'm afraid I look at issues from one direction and I have issues with realize how powerful magic can be.

That being said if some steps forward and does decide to DM I’m willing to buy the module and another book for them and have it shipped to them. (but if you are over seas it will be slow to arrive. )

I have to admit that I'm more of a reactive poster usually. I don't know why. And I've also got my finals ongoing (last exam at friday, then freedom), so I've been slightly busy (the stress bothers me). Not that Quertus has much else to do than count coins and learn spells right now. Oh wait, he's got the world to conquer. Damn. I need to post more.

And Endur, if it's possible in any way, I'd like you to keep DM'ing. This is the best board game I've ever been in, goddamnit, and it's because of you. I don't care if you post once in a week, just don't quit.

I've had some Rl issues myself, thus stalling the 6 PbPs that I run.
I know how you feel, Endur.
I have been a more reactive poster in this one, since Kripp is a late comer and pretty much 'not in the cool crowd', being a Kuo-Toa and all.
Once the business at the Lake of Shadows is finished (if things go that way), I will/would become a more proactive poster.
I have noticed that the game has gone from the 120 mph speed to a more...well, a more school-zone friendly one.
I do enjoy this one immensely, however.

I second the motion. Best e-game ever.

I've been playing Carcelon as mostly reactive as I expect the Matron to be the most proactive of the PC's. Sooner or later (probably later) Carcelon's proactiveness (is that even a word?) will increase as she acts to insure her position as the next Matron Millithor.

 

[Dalamar]

As soon as my finals are over, and the couple of entrance exams after them, I'll make sure Torellan will be back in all his witty-commenting glory. Besides, general downtime is the hardest to play because, like Endur said, you run into the problem of possibly writing a (N)PC's actions.
Besides, if Endur made a post that placed Torellan in some place, say the guard barracks, I would immediately post Torellan playing around with some guards and his Dominating Gaze ("Sit!" "Fetch!" "Roll!"). It's easier to play your character when you know exactly where he/she is.
