I'll edit my previous confusing post to reflect this. (if you don't mind.)

Majin, hey I'm just waiting for you okay on this... Don't worry I think it was ENworld that caused the issues. If you want to you can throw me into the current time frame at any point. :) I'll edit my previous post to reflect this if I get the okay, okay?

Cool I'll edit the above post. (I was at work earlier and my time to post was very limited.)

Mosslime feels some rustling against his javelin, but is unable to get ahold of the mayor. As the bed is pushed aside the last part of Osborne you see is his hand closing a small trap door that was hidden underneath the bed.

Does the trapdoor open up or downward?
 

Downward. From a standing position above the trap door once the bed was moved you were able to peer through the crack before it closed seeing Osborne pushing it shut from below. :)
 


Okay, it seems as if my absence is causing real problems, so perhaps I should pull out. First, though, an explanation:

I definitely do want to be a part of this, and it was no lack of interest or commitment that has caused my posting to be sporadic recently. First my computer had problems, and every time I thought I had fixed it a new problem cropped up. I live in the middle of nowhere during the holidays, and so I couldn't get to a library or anywhere else to post.

I finally fixed my computer after about a week, and therefore posted saying that I would now be regularly involved. The next day, my internet connection crashed and so I was once again stranded (and trust me, it was more frustrating for me than it was for you). After another week or so that became less important, as the holidays ended and I rejoined civilisation and hence had access to library computers. I have therefore been checking in about once every couple of days, but that is all I can manage until my home internet connection is fixed since I'm a busy guy and can't make it to the library or an internet cafe every day.

As to posting elsewhere on the boards but not here, that was bad luck. I posted on a couple of my threads, then came to the LoL IC thread to post and the boards went wierd - repeatedly logging me out and returning me to the index page whenever I logged back in, hence making ti impossible to post a reply.

I realise that some or all of that may sound like an excuse and/or a lie, but if so then... well, tough I guess. It's the truth, and if you're not prepared to accept it then that would seem to be your problem rather than mine.

Anyway, I don't mean to be confrontational. As I see it, this has all just been an annoying coincidence and I'd rather not have to defend it. It seemed, however, that an explanation was required. Anyway - if I remain in the game then I will continue to post once every other day or so, board problems notwithstanding, until my internet connection is fixed at which point it will be once a day. If I was to make an estimate for when my internet conncection will be up and running again, I suppose I would say something like the middle of next week.

If those terms are not acceptable, feel free to find some way to remove me from the game. Otherwise, I will happily stay involved.
 

Moss - Those of medium size must make an Escape Artist check to squeeze through. So it's possible. ;)

Chaos - I'm glad your interested in sticking with us enough to offer such a comprehensive explanation on what's happened. I'm sure it must have been frustrating. I go through withdrawl myself when my computer isn't working. ;) I would say what you propose is fine if you still want to be with us. It would be great if everyone posted once a day. A good amount of us post more than once a day and that does set the pace. I had no idea things would go as fast as they are when I started the game, but I can't say that I'm not thrilled that we are moving this fast. The most important thing I think to keeping the game moving is making sure to post a response daily at least when combat is involved. If your character doesn't have something to contribute in general roleplaying conditions you should still try to think of someway to get the character involved, but the story will still move on either way. Combat is the problem, since it cannot move on without a response from each player. Depending on how fast things move the party may not encounter another fight for a good few days, so hopefully you should be up and running at that time, and I hope you can then adhere to the above guidelines. If so then your entirely welcome to come back. :)
 

Hey all.

I just got caught up on the OOC thread(s), and I'm working on finishing up the IC one. I noticed I got kicked out, and that's fine with me. I'd just like to say that I also really want to stay, but my internet problems are incredible (honestly, this is more trouble than I'd thought it would be), and I can't say when/if I'll be up and running. Like CA, I can't get to a library every day, and I don't have reliable internet access at work, so I definitely can't guarantee a once-a-day rate. Therefore, I am going to drop out (not like I didn't already:() until I get internet (DSL) access at home. I don't know when that will be, if ever.

I apologize sincerely for my absence. I was really looking forward to this one. You all seem like a good group, and from experience in other campaigns, I know that many of you are excellent people to play with. Have fun, and hopefully I can meet up with ya'll some time down the road.
 

Sorry to hear your still having lots of problems Seonaid. Once you have gotten them sorted out as I've always said you are very welcome to come back and join us. Whenever that may be you can just level up Chastity to match whatever level everyone else is at that time, and just jump right in. :)
