Brohug. I guess.
Though I'm still frustrated and confused as to where my plot is and I'm not even sure if I want to do it anymore, even if it is a character developing plot.

Fourth on the list, approved for ages. Go for it, dude.

I don't love you either, Elf. That was a frustrated bop.

And I fully deserve that bop. And any others you decide to give me.

....brohugs?

Selina blushes and tries to get Maria in her bed without removing her towel.

Well, she manages to get Maria in bed....but now she's naked.

Presumably Will would explain everything to Hai?

Selina wakes up after fainting with Maria on top of her.

Maria fell asleep.

Albrecht tries to find someone, anyone to talk to.

Fuck PMs, ask me out loud first. PM if you want to manage PRIVATE lore. Still, there's a lot of lore out there that's public, it just isn't easily accessible.

So....yeah. You and USEC are now lore/plot reviewers. Put that up in the OP.

In case you guys might be thinking; I'm not shutting the game down. I've been toying with the idea, but seeing the game grow this big makes it altogether too sad for me to. However, I am going to try and take my responsibilities more seriously. I do warn you about the difficulties of running it with large posts of plot and turnposts without a computer, again, but I will try.

Twi is now one of the official lore managers. PM me if you want to be the second.

As for lore experts, Emp, Rag, and I have the lore on Fate/Twilight, Creation/Void, and Persona/Gods/Superpowers/anything else respectively. Thus, we are your designated loremasters. Kj is also for IRIS which isn't too defined anyway.

@Akroma When did I say I didn't want to play? I said I was getting irritated. I've already established, twice, that I won't end this game except if everyone leaves. Therefore, providing various arguments towards keeping the game alive is irrelevant when I've decided I will anyway.

Haruka wheels off to read.

Yeah, I had to have Elf re-approve my plot due to him completely forgetting about it after me getting approved the first time in December.

Dude, I'm only human. Your point, however subtly cutting ( ), is taken anyway.

oh hey, Elf gave me an excuse to rage more.

It's not a hard job to moderate. Non-elf people can do it. Elf doesn't want to nor is he very good at it. We just need other people to do it. I'm willing to review plots. A more audacious project would be to start buttoning down on lore and whatnot, maybe through public documents (stuff revealed in the RP) and private documents (stuff planned).

1. Pretty damn hard to be good at it when I don't GM anything else and most things go down by numbers.
2. I'm quite enraged myself, to be honest. I accept I've been incredibly lazy and unattentive. For that I apologise. However, I have cleared plots, done my best to record lore, and frankly if I was permitted would be able to run actual plot; stupidly hard when you have nothing but a tablet to work on for five out of seven days a week.
3. Please, go ahead. I need people to help with the moderation- a co-GM and a plot reviewer. Co-GM to handle shit when I'm gone and plot reviewer because there are far too many people to get through.

Elf, I dare say that if you "close" this game game and start a new, smaller one while erasing the plot cue, you may find that you sorta lack that authority.

Everyone has a ton of characters and plots lined up they wanna play, and nobody really seems bothered by there being many players. And it WORKS. Just look at how big and linglived this thread is, compared to all the forum games with a lot of GM regulation - those hardly last 2 weeks. I am not sure why, but this thread is a model of success, unparalleled by any other in this section. Even threads meant to emulate it, like super academy, are running so much, much more slower.

if you declare this game over, you may find that it might simply continue running well without you, all that will happen is that we will have a long discussion on who inherits the authority to put his foot down to end arguements, while the IC thread will not see any change apart from your chars missing.

So seriously both of you, Elf, Twi, stop being so upset. Despite your complaints, everything is running just fine. All we need to do is get the plot queue into proper order and everything will resume nicely.

Actually, I kinda do have the authority, Akroma. Where is yours to tell me that I cannot shut down my game, precisely? However blunt and irritated that sounds, the point is that you do NOT have the authority to tell me where I stand. I may not exercise my right, but I am STILL GM.


I'm upset, but for completely different reasons than this game, which only upset me when I read it NOW. I've been planning to either split the thread or end it for a while. I'm having second guesses.
