OK, since this story line is taking so long to get going I decided to let you guys decide whether to continue or stop it.
If we do stop the current storyline I have something else in mind we can do that'll involve a bunch of free RP fighting. Also if we do stop the current storyline, I'll probably continue it myself with NPCs just so everyone can see what was supposed to happen. ;D

What the hell, man? You, game master and sole keeper of the mission storyline, abandon the mission for weeks on end, and then complain about how it's not going anywhere? Don't pretend that we're the ones dragging our feet; the fact that we're still here proves that we want this to work, but you haven't given us the tools we need to do that. Don't put this mess at our feet.
Three options, man: give up, tell your staff how to continue the story, or put some more time and effort into this. This is your show; you started this game because you thought you'd do a better job than the MMZR team. The progression or stagnation of this storyline is your responsibility, and it's about time you accepted that. I suggest that you give your staff the authority to act independently, and the information they need to keep this story moving in your absence.
Despite my harsh tone, please don't misunderstand my intentions: I don't want to fight you, I just want to have fun playing your game.

Precisely. I could be doing lots of other things in the time I take coming here and thinking up posts and things to have Tempest do.
So why am I here? I enjoy the stories, and Rp'ing with all of you, and so far this current mission has great potential, scrapping it now is just foolishness. Let Ied and Ex in on your plans so that when you can't find time to make it here, one or both of them can. Always good to have a plan B.
We'll give you time to move and unpack and then we all need to report for duty. It's a LONG summer boys and girl.

Well, ya I was referring to myself as much as anything when I mentioned the whole "taking so long" issue. This story is ganna take a lot of creative thinking on my part for it to work out properly, and if I can't get motivated, I'd rather throw it over to random RPing rather than GM controlled RPing. As for option three, Ied already knows how the story line is supposed to go, and I have told him repeatedly to tell EXAIM since I currently don't have time to sit down and write it all out. However, he has yet to do anything about that, hence EXAIM hasn't been informed and the storyline slows down yet again. Anyway, as for now, the big thing is just to get to the city, that's where the RPing is going to happen. I'll let you all in now to know that nothing is going to happen on the trip to the city, in fact the trip is supposed to be quite boring. Anyway, Just found out today we need to get our cats out of the old place by Monday since the landlord is going to have cleaners come in on that day, hence we now have two less days to get the new place organized enough to bring them here. Moving is such a joy isn't it XP.

I dunno man. Writing anything is just so hit-or-miss with me lately. Entire days pass by where I can't even get my thoughts down on paper. If the pace were to pick up, I doubt I could keep up unless I get out of this mental funk I'm in. I've also got a country-esque vacation coming where I won't have internet for roughly 2-3 weeks. Just knowing my luck, the RP'd get good right before I left for the abyss; where fishing is the most exciting recreational activity and they only just discovered sliced cheese last week.
I need to think it over and decide what to do still though. I'm kinda leaning towards Akiko scouring the desert for stragglers. I mean we quote, unquote lost like half the group to the desert sands, so it wouldn't be unheard of having a fast aerial unit try to reunite them. Maybe even work out some sort of pick-up service for Exiam or Sokuren? Not sure, but my vacation kinda leaves a large void of me unable to post, and placing that burden on Gm's trying to cover my ass for.
I'd still lean towards continuing this mission. It's been built up for weeks (months?) now to just can it and move on to something else immediately.

I'd have to agree, I may not be much of a reader, but seeing how I kinda dissapeared there for... ever... it would be a good idea to know what's going on

By the way, I never really intended on ending this current mission. I thought that if I made this post and pretended I wanted to end it it would get people posting again...And it worked. ;D Ha ha, tricked you all. Now stop reading this and get back to posting.
