Downfall OOC

I'm sure this isn't a surprise to anyone. Thank you for your time here and for the characters you brought into the world. It's obvious though that this game has run its course. With very little activity, there's not a whole lot else to do. I don't have the time or energy for moderating the game anymore, and I understand not wanting to take on a game that's clearly on its last leg. Please take care everyone, and I'm sorry it came to an end so soon.

Downfall Mods

Weather: Chilly and foggy, carrying over from yesterday's storms.

Notes: Nothing of particular interest. No word from the other groups. A relative sort of peace has descended over the city, though how long it will last is uncertain.

Please let us know if there are things you would like included in the next day change!

Carson's power develops and it benefits Terry here.

Day change is tomorrow!

Hey everyone. My current mood and feeling in regards to the game are very defeated. I received a minimal amount of responses from my last inquiry, which is fine - it expresses to me basically exactly what I thought. There are really only a handful of people who have offered any feedback, so I'm not sure what to do with the game. The day change was put off because I didn't have the energy to do it. I've been really ill for over a week now, and haven't had the motivation to get around to it. I'll put it up tomorrow, but I'm also putting my characters on hiatus until I know what I'm doing with the game.

Also, we're doing a poll:

1. DO YOU WANT THE GAME DAYS TO BE: a) faster, b) slower, c) like them how they are
2. DO YOU WANT THE DIRECTION OF THE GAME TO BE: a) more laid back so that relationships can develop, b) more hell-driven with blood and guts and terrible things, c) something else I will explain in detail

The offers of co-moderating are being taken into consideration. I'm not sure what to do with them, because they were more than a little hesitant. I'm not interested in putting somebody in that position if they aren't really all about it.

Comments are screened. If you don't respond, you cannot complain about the results of the poll!

Megan and Tony make up for real this time here!

Okay, so I want to get Mag going! At this point, I have the whole thing up until September 9th figured out. She's supposed to meet Martina that day at a grocery store, and the two of them will be meeting up with the group on the 13th (as far as I know, just to make things simple).

filled placeholder here! it is filled with drunkenness and such.

So, back from the convention - which was awesome - and am slowly getting to tags I owe. As for new stuff? Slow on that, too, but will be getting there.

Just a status head's-up. Anyone with planned scenes with my characters? If you could tag me here so we can sort them out, that'd be awesome. Otherwise, I will be poking at you soon.

Jae :)

Obviously we are going through a slow period right now, even with my absence not being taken into consideration. I've received a few criticisms on how the game (story) has evolved, which is fine. I'm really not sure if that has anything to do with the quiet, or if there are other reasons, but there has definitely been a bit of a die off, activity-wise. On top of this, I'm running the game basically on my own now, and I just don't have the time/energy to do it anymore. I can't continue to run this game by myself, not at this point in my life. I'm not saying I'm vanishing into the night or anything like that, so don't worry. What I'm saying is that I need help. I have too much to worry about. I won't go into the details, because they really aren't important. I just don't have the energy to come up with more plot lines right now, and give you guys something to do. I know that the last story line was way overdue to be over with for some people, and that others really wanted to drag it out. This is a problem I'm noticing too, that people seem to want different things out of the game. Some of you want it to be more laid back, and some of you want more death and destruction. I can't make everyone happy if I go one way or the other.

What are your thoughts on this?

Are there any people interested in helping me run DF? Preferably I need somebody who is already familiar with the game. No offense meant to newcomers.

Weather: An unnecessarily violent storm rages through the skies today. Cool temperatures and lots of rain makes this a chilly, miserable stretch of hours.

Notes: Nothing of particular interest. No word from the other groups.

Please let us know if there are things you would like included in the next day change!

I know I owe tags to a handful of people, and I'm sorry. The last like six or so days have been really shitty irl. Some of you may or may not know about my reptile room crisis, but I've lost $800 worth of animals so far to this mite issue I'm having. On top of that, work has been kinda brutal. I'll get to the tags when I can. Hopefully that will be today after work. Thanks for your patience. It is appreciated.

Weather: Cool temperatures in the lower seventies and higher sixties. Clear skies.

Notes: Nothing of any real note today. People are trying to move on with their lives after the past week. In the absence of Steven, Brent and Benjamin, life is returning back to some semblance of normality. Given the circumstances, it's really all anybody could ask for at this point.

This placeholder from previous gameday has been filled with Tayne doing what he does best, with the NPCs from another group: feeding them, and being his charming, mid-Western self!

Hey, everyone! I'm Nori, and I'm bringing Magdalena Soto to the game. She's 21 years old, 36 weeks pregnant and before all of this started, she was manager of a hotel. Now, she's not sure what she is, other than uncomfortably pregnant and running from some scary scary stuff.

Her Bio's up at her journal, and I'm writing up what the time since everything went down has been like for her. It should be up this weekend.

As for contacting me, I'm on US Central time, but I'm up at REALLY strange hours, so basically I could be here anytime at all. Mag's sn is the same as her journal name, and if I'm not there when you try messaging, I'll get back to you as soon as I'm conscious again. Friday nights I'm generally not around because I have a family night with my wifelet, sister and brother-in-law, but beyond that, unless life goes very weird, I'm available almost every day. I thread and AIM, I'm semi-comfortable with gdocs, and I'm always willing to talk OOC (ohlordnori on AIM or iriock on Y!IM) and get to know people. I warn you that when things are going on in my real life, if you contact me OOC, you'll probably hear them mentioned. When I get to know people, I consider them friends!

Okay, I'm going to hush now. I'm just really excited about being here.

First: Happy Canada Day! :)

Second, for Sunday: Happy Fourth of July to the American contingent! :)

Third: I will be hit-and-miss this weekend, so if you don't see me much, I'm okay, just happily eating BBQ or watching fireworks, babysitting neighborhood kids at the street party and hanging with my friends.

Today is also my fifth anniversary of going steady with the same girl. I'll be MIA shortly. :D

Be happy. Be safe.

Jae :)
cross-posted, because...

Tayne and Dhav are alternately flirtatious and embarrassing herein.

Filled scene between Loren and Corey HERE!

All right, life has worked itself out I think, so I'm back to being able to play again! Yay! Anyways, if anyone wants to play with my kids, let me know, because they haven't been able to get much action lately. Especially if I haven't done much with you yet! Comment here or email me at jdmoran@gmail.com.

Weather: Cool temperatures in the lower seventies and higher sixties. Clear skies.

Notes: After the sun came up on the 21st day of the end of the world, the group waves goodbye to Brent, Steven and Benjamin as they leave to head back home. It is hoped that with this new alliance, our future safety will be vastly improved. There is no word so far on the hostile group of survivors, and it is believed that they have withdrawn from the nearby area entirely. Terry intends on getting the hotel's security smoothed out in the next few days, to avoid any further disruptions and to keep our group safe.

The power in the kitchen has done a lot to make life slightly easier, and with the ability to cook and refrigerate food items, our lives will become easier. This morning there is a large breakfast cooked, as a way of hopefully lifting spirits. No one has forgotten the recent death of Catie, or the things they have gone through, but moving forward seems to be imperative right now.

In the lobby of the hotel, a small memorial of sorts has been started by Mia in honor of our fallen friends and in honor of the family we have been building. There are photos up, mostly taken from wallets of the fallen, photo IDs and faded photographs. Some of the faces are unfamiliar, the people that were emptied out when the survivors first moved in... and some of them are very familiar. If anyone would like to add to it, they are clearly welcome to -- as there is plenty of space across the walls of the lobby to fill it.
