Hey Bahram Wing, I think I owe you all an apology for what's happened in the past few months, especially since I've spent them essentially floating around as a ghost without ever really talking to my players.

To make a long story short, a lot of drama with a pair of players who joined and dropped out of the plot in fairly dickish ways made it incredibly hard to continue the plot. I have a longstanding aversion to player dropout and autoing people (though I've made exceptions in the past), so I tend to take to these sorts of situations really badly. I should have asked the rest of you for help and maybe tried to continue on in some other format, but I'm also a little proud (another flaw I'll admit). But the fact that everyone I've spoken to seems to show some interest in the game, I've really felt encouraged to try and continue.

So I plan on resuming the plot in a very simple format. SP only, I'll post 1-2 times daily and hope everyone else can post every 1-2 days, and we'll see how things roll on from there.

As for the plot, the Astarte's yearlong mission is nearing its end, as it finally approaches the New Veyrin Republic homeworld based on the intelligence given by the prisoner Savitri. Initial roleplay will consist of pre-mission preparations by the player characters, maybe resolving whatever loose ends were going on, and then move to the battle proper and go with whatever happens.

I can't promise more than that I'll try to give you the plot you all deserve.

It's great to hear this is going to get moving again. After you get an IC post or two up, PM me so I can move this out of the archive.
