OOC Nonsense

Yes, I think that's a good idea. There have been so many games starting up lately, some of them scoop up all the people looking for new games in that moment. But maybe once Aftermath takes off, that will put you in a good position for that second cattle call.

Especially if some of those games fade out or turn out lame because they don't have the Potential squad in them

To be fair, that's really all of them, isn't it?

I've mentioned before the 5e game I'm in that started in January that is still on basically the first encounter. The DM seems to be new to running PbP campaigns and waits for days between his posts. He said he wants to run it as a sandbox, but not only has he not given us much information about the city we're in, he kind of cornered my character and another when he had the town guard - armed with swords AND guns - surround us on suspicion of using magic. I did some pretty good RP but failed the persuasion rolls (because hello, it's ME), so we agreed to come quietly and be taken to see the magistrate.

That was SIX WEEKS AGO. We actually stood there, waiting for him to have his ridiculously overarmed town guard regiment escort us to the magistrate, while his very occasional posts never advanced the plot. A couple of other PCs tried persuasion rolls on our behalf and failed (probably because they were about me - it's ALWAYS about me, after all), but instead of the DM saying, right, that's it, off we go... he just kept having the captain of the guard give retorts as we crawled slowly to the dock. Meanwhile, he posts every few days saying, "I'm just giving everyone a chance to post before I move on," when EVERYONE HAS ALREADY POSTED AT LEAST ONCE. And we're all out of ideas for RP at this point. How many times are my character and the other guy's required to say, "Yep, still comin' quietly, boss!" like the chain gang of Cool Hand Luke?

Hey I'm running a non-Potential crew Everflame game on here that isnt too bad. (At least I hope it's not.) Although 78 is in it too, so I guess it's not totally non-Potential. It's a tad slow at times, so I've done a small amount of pushing things through. That game takes a bit of measured movement and care, so rushing things is harder than it would be in a game like this one.

Your game is great, Kona. The posting frequency is just less. That’s not a bad thing at all. I think if all my games were like the Rescue Mission thread here, my head would explode. I’m impatient, but I recognize that I need to have games that go at different paces.

My very first game on here started out really great. I made a fun character and everyone got thrown right into the action. Then enemies arrived and we rolled initiative and suddenly the GM just stops posting completely. Shame about a n interesting character but maybe I'll get to reuse her somewhere else

I know that I couldn't survive having two games this fast.

At least you have two games this deadly for your character

Yes, I'm so blessed.

I might not be quite as active tonight as I was last night. I'll still check in and reply to what's happening but possibly not quite as frequently. Sorry for that

Meanie.

Less opportunities for the commander to die. You should be happy

LOL. Less chance of getting her out of that tube, too.

Hah, you still think she will ever get out of there...

This is what you've been dreaming of, isn't it?

Argghhh! This is driving me crazy!

Wow. At the rate we’re rolling, we’ll be dead before the Potential even gets our message.

Yeah, the dice are not smiling on you folks.

Will there come a time where one thread will be like weeks ahead of the other? I was wondering because if we ever start communicating, a lot of stuff may have to be rewritten.
Oh, I am in Atlantic time. One hour off from eastern. 1:45 am when I post this.
