gaslightmods @ : Not Officially a Hiatus, BUT...
As I'm sure you've noticed, Beth and I have been pretty absent from the game lately. This is due to a combination of school (Beth) and retail (both of us) that has proven quite effective in destroying our will to mod and/or live. But! Fear not, gentle players: we are not abandoning all hope.
Instead, we're just putting a hold on serious plot here at Gaslight. Everyone is encouraged to RP and post scenes, narratives, letters, etc. as time permits. However, there won't be any activity requirements nor any global plot until January 10th, 2009. This gives people plenty of time to get their characters set up and applications written with no fuss and bother and stress.
I realize that this is a risky move as some of you may have lose interest by then or may have moved on to other games and found other commitments. I hope that all of you will still be here when we kick things off - I think this game has the potential to be fantastic and I hope you share my excitement for it. And like I said: everyone's encouraged to post scenes and journal entries and whatever else. If you'd rather not do too much in the 'present' (with a game set in the 1800s, 'present' is air-quotable) you can post some backstory scenes if you like: who wouldn't like to see the Winchesters when they were wee lads, after all? Or maybe something from Scott and Warren's time at Xavier's school?
In closing, I wanted to thank everyone for their enthusiasm and, most importantly, incredible patience with this game. And then follow up that 'thank you' by asking for more of the same awesomeness and patience that you've already shown. I can only promise that Beth and I will do everything we can to make it all worthwhile when plot kicks off. We have quite a lot in mind for you guys: Primordial Horrors! Giant Robots! Airship Battles! Intrigue! STEAM!
We will see you in January! (And hopefully also before January since you guys are all awesome and we talk to most of you on a semi-regular basis as it is. And if we don't already, we'd love to start!)
