OOC Bastardpiece Theater Discussion

Currently, my laptop is having some problems, having caught on in its years and in need of a good reformat. Thanks to that, I'll be posting tomorrow on Monday to keep the plot moving forward.

Alright, here's the idea guys - are any of you up to doing JPs? It doesn't have to be a Full JP though - with another plot, I've been getting pretty good results, even though we could only meet for an hour or so. Even then, it was practically once a day. Once a day, where we have a set time where we all met up in a pad, could chat, see each other write and even comment, which just kept it going. Even if a person couldn't post at the time, just the quick dropping by to see what was going on and reading some of it before coming back is something.

If you guys are interested, tell me what timeframes you all have - I'm usually available starting from 3pm PST or so and onwards for the rest of the day.
 
Sorry guys, I've been downed for the last few days since my laptop needed some work. I'll get a post up today or tomorrow once when I reorientate myself.

Wow. I didn't even know that was a double-post thingy. I guess that's what happens when you got a damaged hard drive. Long story short guys, I haven't been the same for a while, my laptop hasn't been the same for a while and I need to fix at least one of the two before I can get into some semblance of proper order. I'll make a post to get us moving along before I finally get started though.
 
Everything okay? I noticed there haven't been any posts this month in the IC thread.

Guys? I'm sorry that I've been slow. Though RPing with you all has been great - shortcomings and all - I don't think I'm able to keep proper pace. Right now, the full weight of the course I'm taking is bearing down on me and I'm feeling an utter burnout from it. It's been like this for the better part of the year and slowly getting worse, but it's only now that it's feeling very heavy and crushing. This plot was meant to have GM activity every 3 days at the very most, but I just haven't been able to keep up with that myself, or even ask around to see if you guys are alright, that there's enough material in the GM posts for you all to work with, and if you're able to post.

Right now, we do have a few options:
  1. Put the Plot on Hiatus
  2. Close/End the Plot
  3. Pass GMship to Another
  4. Continue With a Very Slow Pace
Number One, I know interest would quite likely wane over time - it's not like it's right that I come back later and suddenly 'summon' all of you back. Number Two is, well, it's pretty dour, and I'd rather stay away from it if possible. Three is likely ideal, since it'd be in more capable hands. Well, assuming any are around, and also happen to be interested. And Four, well, it'd honestly turn into a weeping wound for me if I kept at it like that. Even if you guys are fine with a much slower pace, it'd hurt a bit to be reminded of my failure to balance class and the plot. Though, if that's what you guys go with, I'd do it.

One of the main reasons why I opened this plot, besides wanting to have fun with you guys, is because Nepleslia is short on GMs. Very. Thanks to certain events from a few years ago - I can't believe it's been that long, and you all know what I'm talking about - we had a lot of them give up GMing. These guys are still around, but the drive to do so was more or less sucked out of them by malicious action that they couldn't stop. Looking back, I only came in at the tail end of it, but even I could tell it came uncomfortably close to ending Nepleslia by driving away its best. It still hasn't recovered.

Even if nobody is interested in picking up this particular plot - which is ok - I still implore you all to consider trying to GM. We got a rich setting full of detail, all waiting to be exploited. And besides, the setting as a whole just wouldn't be the same without Nepleslia's Dog to Yamatai's Cat.
 
What's up, folks. I'd like a roll call to see who is still here/interested. I would also like anyone who is willing to step up as GM of this plot to let me know in this thread. It will be a first come first served basis. If anyone is unable to, I will GM the plot.
 
Well I am around, preferably I would not take up GMship though, since my case would be very much the same as Cadet's.
