Vampire: the Masquerade - New York by Night OOC Thread

I still hold out hope, and Tory will likely track down and kill people if it doesn't continue, but it isn't looking good.

After you and Jemal took off, a lot of momentum was lost, and that virtual story momentum is crucial in my experience for a PbP to last a long time.
It's almost impossible to lose original members and still continue. Probably less than a handful of PbP games have been able to do that in 3 years.

I will continue to check and continue to hope. I met some really wonderful people here, and I still talk to them via ICQ. Ya never know. The game could pick up again sometime. I'm glad you started up the game Ash, and I'm doubly glad Catulle continued it on. It's still fun to read our story we all created.

I see that Kitana has started up her In-Character game again. Kitana - I remember you mentioned before that you were going to decide what games you'd keep playing and DM'ing. Could you have time for this game to keep?

I see Festy around, but I don't know where Shalimar or Catulle or Helen are.

Barry, are your ISP issues resolved?
With the release of Underworld this Tuesday, and the upcoming Gehenna thing coming from WW, maybe people's thoughts have turned back to Vampire?

Would we be able to start the game again? Is there interest in doing the improbable and resurrecting this great game?

I see Barry now and then on msn, and Shal's been missing for a while now I think, she's stopped posting in the games I'm in with her. Probably taking a holiday or something.

Barry still has the same ISP issues with getting to these boards when I last talked to him.

I haven't seen either of them on MSN actually for a few weeks now, but I'm also swamped like crazy at work so I haven't been on as much.

Tory and I will leave a message for Barry thru ICQ.

If I'm reading you 2 right (and from our mutual interest in the Underworld game that's recruiting), can I leap to the conclusion that we may have 4 players interested in starting up regularly again?

If so, that sounds great to me and Tory.
With Helen, that makes 5 players, if Barry can pick up as Storyteller.

IF (and that's only IF) Shalimar is not around, could we see if Jemal (or even Ashrem) would like to play again? That way, more characters could be back. Always better for the storyline, and fun.

If it's possible to resurrect it, I'd be interested.

Its a logical proposal, sounds alright to me.

You could say there's been almost as much drama in the OOC thread as there's been in the IC.

You could say there's been almost as much drama in the OOC thread as there's been in the IC.

That's true and one of the reasons why I'm hesitant.

 

[Catulle]

Well, I guess that's resolved, then...

Talk about your weirdness.

So, what? Call this a straw poll - what's the general feeling, here? I could feasibly get things under way again, though I'd hope for a steadier pace, or I could start up something new, or whatever, really.

Ideas?

Regards,

Barry

WHOA!!
Yer back on ENWorld again all of a sudden. Barry?
The weirdness has been sorted out at your IP, or something?

Well, for your poll, I know me and Tory would love to continue the memorable adventure. No sense starting another one, when there's so much groundwok laid here, and interesting plotpoints in this NY adventure.

I REALLy want to see how Kitana's character turns out, after someone BITES her.
I really want to have more chances to post my musical ideas for my character in his nightmares that would have happened after our characters go to "bed" tonight (in-game).
I really love the Red Poet - everything you've done with him has been riveting, to me.

I think we've got at least 4 players, if Helen wants to.... hopefully more.
