[The End is Nigh] Abstract Thought

Sooooo, what is the effect of Hammer's attack on the Minister? Did I scrape his paint job at all?
 
So! Two things, unrelated to one another.


1: Taking exams halfway across the country is a shitty way to do things. Bureaucracy is an awful invention and should be abolished.


2: Fire solves everything!
 
Is there ever going to be a reply to the Alchie thread? You have a bunch of players waiting in the first steps of a fight.
 
Can I post a gripe without offending everyone? First off, I want to say that the storytelling in this game is wonderful. Great work there, with a very interesting premise. I like it. But, I am getting very frustrated at the speed of the updates from the storytellers in the game. There have been times that it has been in excess of two weeks between the last post of a player in the Alchie thread and the next post of the game from a ST. Even now, I posted my first action in a critical fight scene, and it has been days since there has been any reply to the thread.


Please understand that I am only frustrated because I am enjoying the story, and I want to see it continue. Is there anything that can be done to speed things along? Even considering the work that must be involved in running the site, this seems to be dragging along very slowly.
 
Sherwood at al, I understand your frustration, I really do. I joined TEiN as a player when Wizard and Wlfsamurai were STs, but then as Wlf started to be pulled away by RL issues, I was asked to take a co-ST role. That seemed to work well enough until Wlf had to take a whole step back to devote attention to his difficulties. This resulted in us losing the one person who could manage posts on a near-daily basis and kinda left us floundering in some of the threads. This is compounded by my patchy knowledge of 2.5 combat mechanics, so I'm not as up to speed on how to manage the fights. I do apologize to all for the glacial pace of the game, but now Wiz has his exams out of the way, I expect the one of us who has a good understanding of how to run the fights will pick up the slack I've been leaving.

As Captain said, losing Wlf was a really big deal for us, he was the one who wase able to post daily, keep everyone entertained while I did a massive story update every 3 days or so on the dot. He would also take care of Combat.


Captain and I are working really hard on patching up Chapter 1 and making it so Chapter 2 runs much faster/smoother, but as with all things we cannot see the future and I do not know how well that turn out.


We could always:


A) Try to find a 3rd ST to fill in the void Wlf left, we could really use it. It is quite hard to entertain so many people with out someone with the actual time to post every day dozens of times.


B) We could turn TEiN into a weekly chat game but people would most certainly be cut.


We are trying, just be a bit patient with us, we don't want to see this game die any more then you do. However if you have someone for option A) that would be great or if you wanted to do B(I don't think most of you do), then just let us know as well.


Those are really our current options right now as Captain and I continue to work.
 
Rest assured, we have no intention of letting it die. We're just... scrabbling to catch up.

I view it as the Alchemicals curse - every Exalted game where I've played an Alchemical character has died just as it was gotten going :P Prove me wrong ST's!!
 
[QUOTE="Seeker of the End]If you need another co-st to help out I'll gladly volunteer. Always looking to help. :)
And I will be able to make posts nearly every day.

We will be in touch :) .......
 
I'd rather not go to a weekly chat game, as I'm looking at another year and a half of retail before I can get a steadier schedule, as well as subbing once school's back in session. I am, however, quite capable as the sort of co-ST who kicks the other STs into gear and does player versus environment. [Any NPCs I run tend to be expies of my PCs for other games, which isn't such a great thing.]
 
Come to think of it, co-STing is something I keep an eye out for. I want to ST, sometime, but I have no experience with it and I worry I'd screw it up. Helping out another ST in this kind of environment, where I can check with them prior to doing anything, and get a look at how things work behind the scenes, would be pretty much perfect.
 
STs are getting settled in, patience please ;) !....Now with so many people helping, posts will happen left and right :D !
