@Krunk: Waiting until after the Xmas period for Round 2 to start works for me since I won't be around from 25th to 29th and have an RP to start around that period too.

Ringing around to let you all know that the killer holiday shifts have now subsided - a lot later than I expected them to. I'm pretty sure I'll have this round all sorted by tomorrow, so watch this space!

It's been three weeks at this point. Honestly, if you are so busy that tomorrow turns into three weeks you should just call this off and pass the torch to someone else who wants to, and has the time to, run a full round.

I've sent a PM to Krunk, asking his permission, if he doesn't get back to myself or the thread in a day or so I will assume he cares not for your sanity, liberty or souls and gladly steer your wretched forms into the pit of wondrous screaming. Assuming, of course, you all submit to the tender, iron caresses of the Joe. If he returns after that point and wants to re-grasp the reins, I will be sated knowing that in no small way just reading the words I type swells the blackness in your hearts.

Can you feel it?

I'm not sure. Is it supposed to feel like all your vital organs being torn about by wild dogs made of fire?

I guess I'll be cranking up my awesome levels once again in that case.

Hmm. >=/

I am not entirely sure about bringing this back... it's been a good long time since this thread has even been touched. I'm surprised I still have it bookmarked.

Honestly, I think that since Krunk left without even giving us any warning, he shouldn't be allowed to take the thread back so easily. Sends a bad message to the rest of us. Or, well, me at least.

I agree, while I harbour no ill feelings towards the man himself, Krunk was not even a particularly good GM before he disappeared, often leaving us for weeks at a time between rounds.

Due to my upcoming exams in a couple of weeks and then working in a camp soon afterwards with no regular Internet connection for several months, I'm pretty much obligated to turn down any place on a revived RW anyway but to be honest I'd completely forgotten about this.

At the same time, even one as dark and fibrous as myself cannot abduct a thread, or even begin another and invalidate this one, away from another mortal soul. In this way I am prevented from devouring all that is and will be in one terrible feast. There is more than one realm dedicated entirely to the cursing of this truth.

I just looked at the post dates, however, and the months have certainly gone slipping by here. If Krunk has not replied by the weekend I will rend a world in joy and begin messaging all from this thread, to see if any have the strength and flavor of spirit to join a Ratings War VII. Should he return and sing my damnation, we'll work our a compromise. A compromise of Doom!

Considering he hasn't said anything here and in the user group for over 3 months I doubt he'll even reply to you in general. On the up note I know that a few other players this round and myself would love to go for another round. As long as that round finishes that is.

I'll still give him until the weekend, then I'll send a PM to every player (and post a copy here) asking if people want to continue this thread, restart it, start a new Ratings War or drop out (non-replies will be considered as this)

The first goal should be to finish this thread rather than start a new one, but if too many people have dropped I'd rather open up the doors to new players rather than limping over the finish line. Characters may be re-used in this instance, of course.

Oh, and dragging spirits over the plains of endless burning on chains made of snakes, etc.

Ladies gentlemen and associated vagrants of this illustrious thread, I motion to appoint the Good Lord Sir Her-Royal-Majesty's Ultrajoe (esquire) to the position of Presiding Officer for the Coordination Assessment and Management of Thread Activity. Additionally I propose for the funding and formation of a discreet bilateral committee to analyze superior methods of coersing The Good Lord Sir Why-Is-Her-Royal-Majesty-Bifurcated Ultrajoe (esquire) to voluntarily accept the motioned appointment. Self same committee will investigate such potential solutions as are later deemed tenably but initially such options as granting full same authority of catastrophe-level eight military rule along with powers of immediate warrentless execution, electrocution, defenestration and all same such powers traditionally withheld due to legal non-existence and moral reservation. Additionally, changing the name of aforementioned office to "Evil Autocrat for the Disparagement Bewilderment and Culinary Distillation of Human Minds" will be considered seriously.

Is there a second for this motion?
