Okay, so there's not many of us here (or left lol) But I want to update everyone... wholistically.
Two things important have happened since...well the last update of sorts.
1) Neftali and Travis have pulled from the game. On May 13th, Neftali deleted all of her threads --- or most of them from the board, then deleted her account. While she informed Kit that she was leaving because the game was too slow, she didn't tell me anything. I can only take the deletion of her account and posts as she's decided to leave the game. GG no Re, as my kiddo would say.
2) Life's gotten a lot less chaotic at work, but I find my desire to Rp in Harpeah considerably less then optimal. My original intentions FOR this game was it to be a mystery-adventure with fun shenanigans. We were hoping to pull in new people so that it wasn't us just rehashing same ole same ole--- if it was, I'd of just made you play yourselves again!
So what the hell does that mean.
I want to keep Harpeah Open. First, because, I like Harpeah. Second, because I get tired of opening and closing and opening games. Third? I LIKED this plotline. I THINK I will like it again and want to keep going forward. However the game 'is' slow. Partially because I can, for the most part, only post at work, and because I have limited posting time and options at home --- and not still do things I enjoy like spending time with my family.... And posting tends to go in waves... For example, the thread with Juin, Jean, Reginald and Cole is NOT mine and it's still experiencing thread stuttering and spurting of moving forward--- not waiting just on me.
How 'active' we will be depends on everyone.. not just one person. I guess I'm saying is ... that's expected... in a painfully slowish way of forum posting...
We can, of course, convert this into a small game we play over Skype once a week-- but scheduling conflicts OFTEN make that difficult at best.
Where do you want to take Harpeah? Do we want to keep going forward, stumbling in our own delightful ways or not?
I'm here. I will kick my writer's block in the teeth here soon. I have a lot of 'le personal' shit going on... but that too will either pass or kill me.
Oh.
I will also be honest. I've been cheating on Harpeah. Last Thursday- a week ago today, I began farting around with the idea of using the monster-of-the-week system for a Sailor Moon forum game. On Friday Night/Saturday Kat said she'd lovingly support me by making a pretty skin for Sailor Moon and a forum... and I've had many a guilty pleasure of converting, tweaking and developing background plot and fertile ground for a sailor moon forum game...
It's not done yet, though I suspect sometime soon it will be. And I will be devoting one eye to Harpeah and one eye to Sailor Moon. in a revolutionary way hoping this allows me to keep my writers block at bay and my frustrations when I fail at communicating something correctly arise.
the sailor moon game is a twist on the idea of crystal cities of the past, with it's heart in canon and firing with a fresh--- it has no ties to any previous games at all--- face.
...and of course you all are welcome to play in it too, or not, as your heart's desire.
crystalcities.proboards.com/ again, not open... but I don't want people to think I don't want you to play or don't care about you enough to tell you. I was mostly doing it just to do something creative and was semi surprised by the amount of people who would play in Sailor Moon and NOT Harpeah.
