I'm in.
I am disappointed in Ash, that he would lack the dedication to see the game thru.
I thought we both had talked about the player's responsibility to stick with a game, etc.
oh, well.
good thing I hadn't made any character attachments between Nik and Gabe, or I would be quite put out.
Speaking of which, how the heck does Jemal's leaving affect especially the character of Sabrina?
What does it do to the Montague storyline?
What of Vychtorya's involvements with Jemal, as he was the only character she could interact with?
Those impacts are what I hold against Jemal, but I understand how it could have happened.
I wouldn't do something like leave a game, since it should never get so personal online.
<snipped a comment I'll add to the Sabbat thread, to keep that mess over there>
edit in: I truly hope it's OK to get across that I'm disappointed in Ash and Jemal's decisions, without people assuming that I'm upset with THEM, or have a problem with them.
I appreciated both their input to the game(s), in fact, that's why I mention that I wish they wouldn't drop gaming.
Not mentioning them would strike me as dismissive of their efforts and contributions in this game, and ignoring them (and their subsequent decision) would be a little head-in-the-sandish for me, and not a healthy precedent for long-term success of a game.
Speaking of which - I'd like to publicly thank Ashrem Bayle for having the idea to ask about having a Vampire game run on these boards - the game wouldn't have happened without yu, and I hope you find a way to have fun with this game again, and decide to come back in.
Ask yourself - is this dropping out something similar to what you felt (some of the same reasoning) when you dropped the DMing of this game?
If so, why did you jump back in as a player here, if it wasn't being fun?
Were you having fun as a player?
If so, why couldn't you continue to have fun as of now?
We can talk thru email, if you don't wanna talk here.
Jemal, I'd like to thank for his creation of the Montague line (as far as I'm aware), a vital cog in the ongoing New York Chronicle.
I would have liked to have seen some of the impassioned approach he displayed at the end more often displayed on in-character (or OOC) posts, since real honesty is refreshing for me to read.
As for this game, for it to continue steaming ahead with its IMO superlative quality of roleplaying overall, I think we as players need to air any problems, if you have any with other players, or else we're just fooling ourselves as to what we're doing together here.
I prefer in front of everyone (for clarification and honesty), but if anyone wants to email any concerns that would have an ongoing impact, on the surface, OR UNDERNEATH the surface, than please don't hesitate to.
We're all adults, and as such shouldn't have a problem if someone has a problem with us. Without communication, or an exchange of ideas, how can we understand other people's issues, or viewpoints?
