Not to make an excuse for myself, but the 21 character thing + trying to grind out the content thing kinda hurts. I'll be sure to re-read your background and take it into better account next chapter. :)

Yes, that's why I think they are not important. Besides, a few of the things I envisioned about Artemus might in practice clash with the RPG rules in general anyway. So, no problem. Also, feel free to change the background description to fit the story instead of the other way around.

Cool. I wonder if we will ever get anywhere with the murder mystery thing, I've been sooooo busy lately... I don't know where all my time has went. Plus, I'm going back to work in September & planning my wedding so time is getting even tighter.

Nah, don't worry about it. Prioritize the wedding first. I went through the same thing years ago and so I know how hectic a wedding preparation can be (although I did employ a wedding organizer back then, there were still tons of things to do ourselves).

Exile best be in Volume 2. He makes the Wanderers cool :D

I can't promise being all the time online because my time is pretty short right now, but i will do what i can.

Just looking at people's locations on here, we're pretty globally spread! So I think we'd have to accept being patient right from the off, to allow people to post when they can. Nevertheless, it'd be really fun to do.

Yep. How you doing My UK Friend?

Depends when it is; I'm going away on Friday for a combined vacation / grandfather's funeral for 2 weeks. I'll have very limited access to the forums since we're going to be out and about most of the time. Climbing Ben Nevis in seven days!! :D

:D Really well, thank you my American bud! :) How's it going with you?

ill try and help if i can just real life kind of hectic just now sodding work. Plus i have the saints row 2 urge before i get number 3 so playing it like crazy.

People are describing the basic problems that we had when AiV was a "game" in the traditional sense: time zone differences, who is going to be busy and who won't, etc.

But, I think we can get around the difficulties. We could allow any user to act for their entire team. So let's say one of the remaining members of each team simply is too busy or doesn't have internet access for a long time... no big deal, since others will move for them.

If there's at least 1 if not 2 active members from each team, we should be able to keep it flowing well.

I will be copying, pasting and editing all the actions into a more formal chapter, so if it's a little slow then that will be OK since it will give me time to do that. Also, I'm going to edit each chapter and create one big PDF with the entire "book", so again if it goes a little slow then that's OK because it gives me time to do that.

On an unrelated note, any musicians among you?

That sounds awesome! I love the idea of a PDF of the whole story!

And I play guitar and have studied a little music theory if that'd be any good to you?

America sucks x.x So effing hard to just get a job

I will be sincere: i will miss this game when it's over.

I haven't been the more present person in here, but i'm really liking reading the story and the way the characters develop.
