Son of a biscuit eater! Curses! Dangit! And some more non-offensive swears! Remember that wall of creative block i hit doing 80 a while back? Yeah, well thanks to Vector and everyone else posting, i've now driven around it, and doing about 200 on the freeway. I've got so many ideas moshing in my head right now that some of em are getting knocked out and falling onto my sketch-pad which i haven't drawn on since i bought it half a year ago. (though only Sonic related ones have survived.)
BUT!!!
So far most of them are related to Exahdos and that's at a stand still right now. I know Vector's been sick lately, and he's been at work for the majority of most weeks, and i know he's been writing in the little notebook he keeps with him all the time, but all i need is ONE piece of info from him pertaining to that collaborative post he complained about not doing a while ago, and FOUR more posts could be done after that just from myself and Void, not to mention other people jumping in.
ALSO!!!!
After mine and Vector's post is when, according to Vector, the first big threat is going to reveal itself, creating even more posts. Even though one person hasn't posted in awhile probably due to inactivity and Middy is gonna be gone for awhile, cutting some of the posts we might get from them after that happens.
Which SUX!!!!
Purviews is bleeding out you guys and i don't know about the rest of you but I've grown quite fond of this site and the people on it in the short time I've been a member, even though i don't really KNOW any of you, and i don't like the fact that according to a couple of people, whenever something on this site crawls out of the primordial ooze and starts to evolve something comes along and freaking sits on it. I don't want that to happen this time, all-right!
So please Vector or anyone else for that matter. Dust off the cobwebs, oil the gears, turn the light on, replace the dead hamster and get a new wheel, do whatever you can, cause i'm betting that Exahdos is the last seed this site's gonna get and if it dies than this site might go with it.
But i'm not anybody's boss, and you guys are gonna do what you want, and i know that all of you have life's outside of this little thing, but i have been and will be checking in every day and it would be awesome to know that if there's not a new post that day, then at least one's coming from someone.
Thumbs up. Sonic out.

Vector needs to kick his ass into gear if he wants to keep activity here to a manageable level.
You can count on Middy disappearing completely instead of returning after 2 weeks (I know that was her hiatus message for this site).
It appears De is back from China and wherever the hell else she went, so I'll pester her on MSN or something to post here (though I doubt that will work).
And that's all I can add, here.

Posted. Now hopefully there's less left till our collab than I thought, since we've been posting solo stuff for a while leading up to it. Much longer than I intended, obviously.
If I can get this thing rolling at a consistent rate, then I'm going to make a fantasy styled RP, or rather remake that Darc idea I had before. Reading stuff about Althea makes me want one badly so if Nish won't make that into an RP, then I'll provide one to quench my fantasy thirst I got going on right now.
Of course I would really rather join someone else's RP right now so I can focus on directing EXADHOS and just follow the story of another person's RP in that one. Any volunteers that want to make a new RP so we have more than ONE thing going on here?

Scratch that, then. De doesn't even remember anything, and was gone for like... 6 months after she said she'd post on TO again. Totally unreliable, that girl.

Ah well Lore, minus Middy that still leaves us with six peeps posting if mica stays active. (By the way, who is De and what's TO? Just so i know)
Yay, Vector for posting! See that wasn't hard was it? As far as another RP, i got alot of ideas but none of em are new RP worthy so i can't help you there, but if you want to maybe tell someone else here your plans for another RP then let them take over from where thoughts end, that might work.

De is a DEcent (no pun intended, really) female writer who quit actually posting months (or years) ago.
TO stands for Torrent Oblivion, another RP forum where me, Kaisar, Middy, Mica, and others majorly participate. If you want the boring details, I'll be happy to post a little history on both subjects, but we'll leave that for another time.

Okay. 1) Sonic, I know that it seems like the place is dying, and it might very well be...but sadly, this is what happens. LOL The problem with having only a few people active is that a thread could very well take months, if there are problems. Hell, even if you have a dozen, or two dozen, people active, it can take months! I was in at least two threads a couple years ago, one right after the other, that literally took more than 6 months to complete what I seem to remember as being about 50 posts. O.o I've been in one roleplay for over a year, and I joined when it was a year old anyways, and sometimes we'd go for a month without a single freakin post...and yet it's still going, and actually wrapping up at the moment. A TWO YEAR THREAD. Seeing this site's activity lull for a couple weeks doesn't much phase me. Then again, maybe I'm jaded. 2) De went somewhere?! Shows what I know. I thought she was just busy. LOL 3) Concerning a fantasy RP... I could russle one up. Old one, new one, maybe even a plagiarized one... LOL Mickenzy has ideas, but she doesn't like to post them, so maybe I can poke her in the arm until she lets me steal her idea. I've been in a writing mood lately (well...not today. But for the past couple weeks) and not really in any position to post much in EXHADOS. So maybe making an RP would be a nice kick. 4) Ummm.... Was there a 4? Oh yeah. We have to learn how to make threads appropriate for the content. LOL How many threads do we have on this board that have wandered from their original purpose?! I now have thread OCD. You all must be clean and tidy with your postings, or I will...err....think things. Bad things. Aspersions will be cast. Trust me.

I wasn't lording my experience over you, Sonic! I hope it didn't sound that way. Of course, if you've never been on a board like this, you wouldn't know it all at once. It wasn't melodramatic, but it's just...where I've been playing, we get these things all the time.
"Argh, the site is dying! We all need to change!"
"Blargh, everything is dumb, and the board is gonna die. Get out now!"
"Oh, look at me, I've been writing for 6 months and I can tell that you all SUCK now, so it will never work."
This post wasn't like that at all. THOSE are melodramatic. This is just acceptable concern. And the thing is, with all those other people who post, there hasn't been a single day that the site "died" in the past...7 years. Well, besides server problems. So the way I tend to think is just...wait it out. Poke people when you can, and post concerns like this, and unless EVERYone really does not want to be RPing there, they'll come back.
Or they won't, and new ones will join. It sucks, but it moves on, if there is still someone interested. And just because someone quits doesn't mean you can't still be friends.
Bah, I'm lecturing. Trying to rationalize my reactions. Suffice it to say that I don't think this place will die now. It's died for months at a time like 3 times before! I think it's considerably better now than it has been in years. So... It's all good. :-) Don't be embarrassed or worried. It all works out in the end.

I'm still floating around, yes. That one guest you might keep seeing as being on the site.. that's me. As Mike said, I do have some ideas scattered about in my head, but they're all not forming a coherent thread idea yet... it's all just bits and pieces so far and I'm still working on how to fit them all together to make a whole. I would love to try and run the thread here, but I have to figure it out first lol. Edit: Ok, so after some serious brainstorming, I think I might actually have a thread idea. It would be Fantasy-themed, and it'd be somewhat of a mystery as far as where the plot would end... it would all depend on what the players decided to do over the course of the story. Should I post it?

It sounds good to me.
I might be tempted to bring back a couple ideas for RP's I've brought up in the past.
Trial of Tempest - Kind of elemental based, trying to stop massive winds from destroying the planet, yadda yadda...
And a Castlevania inspired story, having adventurers travel through a castle looking for soemthing, anything really, and I have to set out areas and what kind of enemies turn up in those areas and such... The last time I did it, I didn't participate as an adventurer, I played the role of the Castles Lord and they made their way to me, but I don't think I'll do that again.
Tell me what you guys think, and I'll write up stories for the ones you guys want.

Should I post it? As far as another RP, i got alot of ideas but none of em are new RP worthy so i can't help you there This is what the Idea board is for. It doesn't have to be perfectly organized like Kaisar's Althea thread. You can just put tiny snippets of idea sparks and with a little input from others, maybe form it into a solid RP. I'm still floating around, yes. That one guest you might keep seeing as being on the site.. that's me. There are many guests each day, but I have been wondering for a while if any were actual members so it's good to see you poking your head in for real now. I'm up for anything good and fantasy focused right now. Particular interests at the moment are 1) the Althea solo story Nish has going on (which I get a very big "Oblivion" meets "Lost Odyssey" feel from) and 2) I have a vague memory of Mike (I think it was him) starting an RP one time, though I can't remember it get anymore than barely started. All I remember is a very odd group of people that seemed like types to never team up (I believe it was my first time as a thief, I believe, which I now greatly enjoy and would plan to be in the fantasy RP I desire at the moment). I had my character laugh at how much of a motley crew they were and Mike (again, I think it was him) said the line was almost identical to one in the book the story was inspired by and 3) Kaisar's "Beasts of Battle" RP from back in the day. Still one of my favorite RPs ever and I'd love to have another go at it now that we're all better writers and more mature in various ways. By the way, I kinda agree with Arch. Pretty much all our threads tend to digress in some way or another. I'm going to move this thread, change the name, and make it an overall "Talk about the site" kind of thread. I'ma do that.... now.
