Lucky #7 wins again

Lucky 7 for the win!

Btw, sorry for the delays. Will get to it soonish.

Sorry again guys for the long delays. Might be a while until I get back again. Not sure when.

It seems Scrol is inactive too long. I'll see to make short posts and be less perfectionist if that helps me to post again.

Relatable, perfectionism is the bane of creative process. :V But really, take your time if you need a break.
(We should all just roleplay with each other and have a beach episode. Or I guess pub episode? You get the idea.)

Steel Beach Barbeque sounds great in space

Appologies again for delays. Yeah, I have been absorbed with other things lately. I am considering if it is better to set up a clear time of a break, but I am the sort who does things when I get sudden inspiration, so I can't predict when I can get on the update flow here...

But yeah, go ahead to RP in the meantime.

I'm all up for roleplaying something of an in-between scene, if anyone is interested. Secret squad goes out for drinks? :D

I am admittedly both busy and not inspired to plan out the scenarios. I have the scenario planned, but to do in a way to avoid encountering plotholes takes a right mindset. I am willing to keep this going, but expect that I will take long to update, or potentially ending it if this annoys you guys.

I think the storyline is very cool, but I am having a hard time remembering everything that’s going on and who everyone is. I think that’s more to do with me, since I joined so much later than everyone else, but because of this I think I’ll bow out. Thank you for having me!

I don't mind slow pace, so I'm still in for continuing. :) But if everyone else thinks it's for the best, then I'll acquiesce with the group's decision.
(Although in this case I'm kidnapping Connor with me afterwards, I don't want to separate him from Wolf. Do I have your permission to kidnap Connor, RoAries? :D)

I am softly stopping. Can consider that very likely I'll stop. But as I'm motivated on a whim, I'll not confirm it yet. I have other things I am more involved, so kind of adds on to my hesitation to plot out the story to my desire.

A way to be more encouraging for me to continue this game without being a "perfectionist" is if we just skip the current side mission/story. Here are some options:

1) Jump to the discovery of the suspected spy and the conspiracy, and decide what to do from there. Reward will be halved.
2) Jump go to downtime again. Halve reward.
3) Jump to discovering the hide out of the surviving cultists.
4) Jump to the mission that will take you out of the current planet.

I would be happy to also invite you guys to another game I'm currently hoping to run. However, I aim to fit with my timezone of GMT+8 as US players will be in the early morning for my sessions.

Here is the link to the discord server for the game. Will do with voice chat. You can be a spectator if not a player.

I think if we continue, we should skip the mission and don't do downtime for a bit. As to whether we remain on the planet or not, I don't have a particular preference. (Just let me keep Connor.)

Not a single game I've played on GP so far had mystery/conspiracy missions work out for them. :'D I think it's just very, very hard to pull off long investigation scenes in PbP, whether it's homebrew or a written campaign - especially with a group. Usually it seems to just make both players and GMs frustrated and gradually make it harder and harder to post. So yeah, I think I would just prefer not to have mystery as the main focus here.

And downtime didn't do great things for momentum, so maybe we can just avoid it for a bit? Might just be me, but I'd prefer to interact with other characters more... erm, real time. I still like the idea of a downtime, in a vacuum (oop, a pun), so I do want the mechanic to return eventually, later. Maybe it'll work better in shorter bursts?

Yeah, options 1/3/4 all work for me. Or stopping.

I don't do Discord for games. Can't even do voice chats either way, haha. Thanks for the invite though! :)

I agree with FlyingSuccelent. I think we've been in downtime too long. If the game were to continue, my choices are the same. 1/3/4 or stopping.

Thanks for the invite to other game on discord, but I because of life gets busy for me during the spring/summer months. I have limited time to commit to a real-time game.

Thank you guys too for sticking around. Yeah, I feel that the downtime takes longer than what I expected.

Since doing mystery as play-by-post takes long and can cause forgetfulness of what happened so far, I now learn from past games too that I run that running games as slightly open-ended with mystery and side quests in play-by-post tend to have players ask me what to do.

And whether or not we continue, I'll confirm Wolf do get Connor to be with him along for the ride. If I definitely end it, I'll even say that they get to have a peaceful and pleasant life together, away from the horrors that comes from dealing with humanity's survival in a harsh galaxy.

I think we can pull a move from The Expanse and have a sudden break in the case. If you all want to continue. I like this game and want to see where it goes

Hey, I'm checking in to ask if there is a possibility that this game resumes within the next month? I'm probably going to be a bit busy until end of September, so I'm trying to figure out how many games I'll have for the time. :)

I'm still up for continuing, though! Just might be a little slow to post.

I'm going to consider this game to be over since RoAries has been inactive for a while.
It was fun, everyone, thank you for playing with me! :)

PS: @RoAries, if you do return later, please ping me - I'd love to play together some more.
