Received the PM. And unlike what you think, I have this RP open in a tab every time I boot my firefox.

Give me a week, two at most. I promise I'll try my damnest to be ready to continue this around then.

Thanks. I'll be out of the job in early august and back to my final classes at uni around the change of the month, so I hope I can really continue this full-speed from august onwards.

This is in interest gathering post, please respond here if you wish to continue this game. I now have more free time as I have only a few exams the next two weeks and normal lectures continue after that.

If we get enough people confirming their interest (3 min), this RP will be continued.

I'll be checking this thread back frequently to see who wishes to continue and who does not.

If everyone who had already posted here wish to continue, then I'm sorry to say this is a full game. If I wish to keep the quality of this game high, I must set some limits to amount of gamers in here. As it is, it takes me 1-1.5h per response per player to keep rolling.

However, you are more than welcome to join us if one of the older gamers does not wish to continue. I'm sorry to place such a condition to you joining, but I need to sleep as well :)

Okay, STE3L, KronosTalon, green00706 and pyroguy86, I'll be starting on your next round of posts sometime today.

I'll be sending PMs to EvilJoe1 and GameKid171 to ask them if they wish to continue. If I hear no response from them by friday evening/saturday morning (~GMT) I'll count them as out.

As for now, cnordskog is #1 (and venom 3135 by PM on #2) on reserve, pending responses from Joe and GameKid, or if I can increase the amount of players here.

1-1.5h per player per response for 6 players does translate, with two rounds of actions per week, into 12-18h spent on my part to keep this running once we get full speed back again.

G'day SakSak, I'd like to join this great RP if it is possible. I reckon that you're doing a great job, but would it be out of your hands to maybe consider appointing a Co-gm? It might ease your workload, is all.

Jakeman, if he wants a Co-GM, he'll pick someone with more RP expirience, or a higher post count. No offense or anything, but it's common sense really.

Ahh, not exactly, though close.

If I do end up picking a co-GM (and believe me, I'm considering, as well as sponsoring a sister-group if the interest keeps up), it'll be someone

a) I know has RP experience (preferably from the leading side of things).
b) I know has dedication to see things trough
c) Knows a bit of the awesomesauce that is Dawrf Fortress
d) I know a bit as a person, either from RL or via the 'net.

While the offer is appreciated sgt_jakeman, I don't know you. At least, I don't think I do. I know almost nothing about you. It might be that you fit the criteria a-c and d can be fixed, but until such a time as I can say you fit a-d I'm sorry to say you'll not be co-GMing this RPG.

Don't take it personally, at least 99.9% of the Escapist user base is excluded by at least one criteria. But the time I'm prepared to sink into this things ought to tell something of what I'm prepared to do to keep the quality as fairly good as it has been so far (at least in my opinion).

to clarify, post count as such isn't a merit, nor is lack of it a demerit. It can be indicative of commitment to the community, but that can be achieved in other ways.

No, I didn't mean to put myself forward, I just forgot to say that in my original post. For that, I would like to apologise. As venom3135 stated, I have nowhere near the expertise for something like this. I am currently downloading Dwarf Fortress to see what it is really like while I wait for you to get ready, as well as the fact that you said 6 was a good number foor you to handle. I would make 7.

It's all good. And don't worry about the steep learning curve on DF. There are plenty of starter videos on Youtube and fortress tutorials on the net and dwarf fortress wiki.

If you're anything like me, you'll be hooked. Specially once you download a graphics pack :)

And a minute correction. You'd be player number 9, if every old player decides to continue and the two other persons who contacted me before you were also brought into the game.

Thank you, my job went wery well and my employer along with the rest of the project staff were pleased with my performance and contribution.

They told me to come back the next summer :D

Also, first exam is over (I hate the mathematics of surface- and colloid chemistry even more than I hate the mathematics of logistics) and it went.... a bit meh. But if it is a pass, then I'm happy.


So


GameKid 171 decided to leave us, I got his PM. That means cnordskog is in the game (by virtue of being the first new one to show interest after the restart)

I'll be posting tommorrow and on weekend to get things started off.

Also, nice to see you again, EvilJoe1
