Things to Note & OOC

Hey, as a heads up, work is busy today. I wanna make this reveal a little higher effort, so I'm gonna work on it when I get home. I already have a few things typed up, but I'll be putting it all together later today. Sorry for the delay.

No hassle, and no rush! There’s loads of time and we’ve hit another weekend anyway! Take it easy!

True. Plus we are nearly done. I got a few posts out to start and I'll likely be busy playing Elden Ring with a friend rest of the day. Just something to get us started off on this last stretch.

I may disappear this week. My grandmother seems to be on her death bed, and I might have to fly from South Korea back to Ireland to attend the funeral. It’s been 9 years since I’ve been home, too. Not a great situation to be in, to be honest. I’ll try stay going anyway, but just in case!

Flying to Ireland tomorrow morning. My wife tells me I’ll have a wifi egg with me! So I should be able to see the game goes out with a bang!

Geez man, I am really sorry to hear this. I know "best wishes" don't do much but it's all I can offer.

I went ahead and did my final post. I decided to go ahead with my initial plan even if he doesn't make it.

The game was an interesting concept, but I think it sorta fell flat for various reasons.

• I'm not always quick with ideas, and heck sometimes prompts don't inspire me. Even with a 90 minute version I think id have struggled to make up answers that were compelling.

• We didn't have music going or a timer. The urgency just wasn't there. I added a few songs here and there, but overall it felt silent compared to likely what the intended way of play is.

• The activity fizzled. Which happens in so many games. Life reasons or whatever, our group was dwindling down. With less input, and less activity, things were trending down.

• Also, I think I prefer my fantasy. I wanted to give the whole teenager irl game a go, and I think it just doesn't grab me enough.

• I liked the idea of playing the game via texts, but the immersion factor just didn't carry as well for me.

Hopefully we had some fun and learned lessons on games like this. I think I'm pretty against prompt games now. Just doesn't work as well with my sporadic creativity. Still, thanks for the game!

I liked the concept I just found it hard to post.
The main reason for this was (Not Blaming Anyone) I felt like from the relationship Evan had with the other players he would not really communicate much. I just felt that since I was just her Crush and others felt like me having a crush on her that I was a creepy or being silly. Evan wouldn't want to speak much to people who thought that.
Same idea with her brother. I have a crush on your missing sister... That sort of feels weird...
Or I have a Crush on your Ex... Why would we be friendly?

Coming up with strange ideas to push stuff was also hard for me. I am used to a game where the DM tells me everything that is going on and I just follow their plans; I keep a small idea and need to make up something huge to go along with or change the story.

Sorry about how this one shook out, all! There’s never a good time to die, I suppose! The last two weeks have been a bit of a whirl as I travelled over and back to Ireland then South Korea.

I kind of fell out of the world! Thanks for playing, all! I hope the experience didn’t sour you on Alice is Missing. It’s a really great game. It’s just a hard sell in the format!

I appreciate the efforts. I’ll close this up now, and catch you on the next one!
