Ok, this is the OOC thread for the Shroud of Darkness II thread. if you have not been in on the original SoD you can still join, just make sure you read the general summery of the original that I have quoted below the starting plot for this one.

Starting Plot:

The years is 14 BBY

After Darth Sidious’s defeat in the Battle of Abbadon five years ago he has fled, into hiding. during this time he has found the Dark Jedi Kadann, leader of the Dark Force(the Dark Side Religion not the Katana fleet), and fallen Jedi Knight. Kadann has foreseen a chance to destroy the Jedi Order. following this path Sidious and Kadann allythemselfs with the Mandalorian leader Spar. Kadann then heads to the planet Dathomir to meet Gethzerion, leader of the Nightsisters. Striking a deal with her, the deal being that she helps Sidious get rid of the Jedi and he takes her of the planet, Gethzerion accepts the offer. Sidious then moves to retrieve the most dangerous weapons that is the Banished Chiss Thrawn. After taking the Nightsisters off Dathomir Kadann heads out to Nam Chorios speaks to the Dark Jedi Beldorian and Taselda and convinces them to join, then to gain a sizable fleet and army they frighten, steal from, manipulate, and buy what they can from the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Hapans, and the Ssi-Ruuk, and by this time Spar has gathered a number of Mandalorians to join the fight allong with the dark force users of the Nightsisters and Dark Force and any other Dark Jedi they can find. now they plan for the war they wish to have...

Mean while…

After the war with the Confederacy ended the Republic was weak, Sidious had destroyed most of the Senate and they needed the stability provided by the Jedi and the Moffs. Once the Senate was reformed and regained order they decided to dissolve the Moffs power. Most stepped down, but some rebelled and launched several offences against the Senate controlled Republic. Fighting for years the Moffs where slowly pushed back. By 14 BBY only a few remained trying to hold on to their power...

As for the Jedi, they have continued their jobs as peacekeepers, fighting against the Moffs, searching for Sidious or sometimes just a normal Jedi job on some planet. little do they know what is in store for them...



the first story, in short form(should read before entering)

Shroud of Darkness: Unmasked

The Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Sidious duels with Jedi Master Mace Windu(as seen in epIII) however when Anakin enters and does not side with Sidious but is faced with a great deal of indecision Sidious sends out a massive unexpected blast of force lighting at Windu. Knocking him out, Sidious fleas Coruscant for Had Abbadon

where he is secretly building the Death Star and begins his new plans for fighting the Republic. The Jedi on the other hand begin to search for Sidious at the same time they elect new council members to replace the ones who have so recently fallen. As well they remove Anakin from the council but as well grant him the rank of master, thus becoming the youngest to ever hold the title. The newly elected council members include: Cin Drallig, Pablo-Jill, Aayla Secura, and Luminara Unduli. As for the replacement for the Republics chancellor Padme is elected. While they look for Sidious battles rage between the Republic and the Confederacy of independent systems. As such many Jedi must leave on defensive or offensive missions. Then Sidious launches a secret offensive against Tatooine (because of its isolation and with CIS forces) taking almost every person from the major cities and near by farms(as well as Jabba’s palace) prisoner for use in the construction of the Death Star or killing them. As soon as he has finished this attack Sidious launches a strike against the Jedi and the Republic, he sends the 501st legion (the only clones left loyal to him) to infiltrate the Jedi Temple and Senate and kill the Jedi and Senators. In the proceeding battle most of the Jedi and Senators are killed as well as many clones on both sides. Ultimately the 501st escapes with Padme as their prisoner (so as to draw Anakin to Sidious) Anakin manages to get aboard the 501st’s Star Destroyer when the destroyer arrives at the Death Star construction site Anakin sends a message to the Jedi council. In the mean time he attempts to save Padme. When the message reaches the council several Jedi are sent to fight in what will become known as the Battle of Abbadon

others such as Yoda stay to make sure the Republic is stable. Mean while Anakin manages to reach Padme but it is to late. Sidious has had her poisoned and there is no antidote. Padme will die in less then half an hour. At the same time Aurra Sing(who somehow managed to find Sidious) is ordered to kill Anakin. They two eventually meet(along with a few 501st troopers) and while Anakin kills the troopers Aurra slices Padme in half with her lightsaber. In a rage at Padme’s death Anakin swiftly kills Aurra Sing…by this time the Jedi have amassed a fleet and have began an attack on the Death Star. And though it is not complete its Super laser is operational and defended by the CIS fleet. The first target it has is the Star Destroyer that Anakin is on. Soon enough the Star Destroyer and all that where aboard it, including Anakin are killed. During the rest of the battle Sidious manages to flee. The Death Star is destroyed, the CIS fleet is destroyed, forceing there surrender, though they do servive. several hundred Jedi die. Including Quinlan Vos, Shaak Ti, and Luminara Unduli.

I'm here. Just a reminder, Shaak Ti, Luminara, and Quinlan are all gone...once I finish up that post.

Hello, I was wondering if I could play General Grevious

I'll take Cin Drallig if possible.

Hello, I was wondering if I could play General Grevious

That may be possible as I am not sure that Moorington is going to RP in this.

sorry i was gone over the weekend...

anyway, im still sorta buisy and such but i'll add stuff later today...


Edit: Grievous is now MS's character as Moorington has informed me that he does not have the time for the RP and that Grievous is open


Cin Drallig is now yours Talaax

also we need to place two new people in the council due to first RP deaths, and who is the leader of the Republic. i select Bail Organa, but thats just me

more to due later today....

Bail gets my vote to...

Come on, people, sign up!!!

I'd like to sign up as a Confederate OC I've been thinking up, because while I sympathize with the CIS's problems, I don't like the military leaders, with the exception of Grievious. If the rule of 2 is still in effect, I'd like to also take in Korto Vos and/or Barriss Offee, if possible.

Name: Gambulk Tertalk

Affiliation: Dugalian Eateries , CIS

Age: Early 20's

Homeworld: Dugal

trained by: Assortment of instructors

Height: 6"2"

Physical characteristics: Gambulk appears to be a handsome man under the syn-flesh; the only sign of battle is a long scar and an eye patch.

Hair Color: None; bald

Weapon of choice: Electrostaff

Force powers: Due to injuries sustained during a Republic bombing of Dugal, Gambulk is only a shadow of his former self; he once had Force Potential. For the most part, Gambulk can only consciously stretch out his Force senses. However, his abilities have manifested in unforeseen ways; Gambulk is often haunted by prophetic dreams, and has only vague recollections of said dreams.


History: Gambulk was born in the lap of luxury; his mother was a wealthy heiress, his father the founder, CEO, and owner of Dugalian Eateries, which was on nearly "Every civilized world west of the Outer Rim, and every cilvilised world in the Inner Rim and the Core Worlds".

Gambulk grew up on Dugal, a hotbed of idealism, and discontent. By and large, they were sick to death of the corruption of the Republic. However, the Dugalians held out for reform, for change. They called for an end to the Republic as it was; a failing government, plagued by corruption and mindless bureaucracy that stifled the voices of many constituents represented in the Galactic Senate.

The straw that broke the camel's back came during Battle of Antar. Soon after, Dugal became one of the CIS's strongest advocates, despite never seceding from the Republic. Soon after the Clone Wars broke out, Gambulk's father demanded an end to hostilities, or he would cut the Republic off.

Fearing that losing Dugal would mean losing a steady supply of food, the Republic reacted by blockading and bombarding Dugal, reducing cities to ashes, and proceeded to nationalise Dugalian Eateries and place Dugal and Dugalian Eateries under the jurisdiction of the sadistic Moff Horehan, who routinely rounded up men, women, and children and had them shot in public to teach the Dugalians a lesson.

Gambulk's father and mother died in the initial bombardment, but Gambulk lived, spirited away by a loyal servant. He was only just barely alive, having lost an eye, his arms and legs, as well as a significant portion of his skinned was burned. Using some of the money left behind by his parents to him, Gambulk was able to afford cutting edge cybernetic limbs.

In secret, he returned to his home, and rallied the people to fight Republican forces stationed on Dugal. Fierce guerilla wars spread like fire over Dugal, until Moff Horehan was found dead in his palace by his mistress. With the loss of their leader, the Republic clones fled Dugal.

With firm control of Dugal handed back to her people, and his birthright s CEO of DE, Gambulk turns his attention to the galaxy around him- the Confederacy soundly defeated, the Republic victorious. Yet, Gambulk resolves to carry on the Seperatist dream for the downtrodden and disenfranchised, intent on establishing a Confederacy of Independent Systems, Dark Forces, Jedi, and Republic be damned!

Strengths: Gambulk's body is significantly enhanced by cutting edge cybernectic technology, making him incredibly strong. He is a master at battling with an electro staff, allowing him to stand on even footing with Jedi. He is a cunning tactian, on and off the battlefield.

Weaknesses: Gambulk can be brash, compulsive and too idealistic for his own good. He is often to narrow-minded, sometimes not seeing the big picture. Further more, he can only just barely use the Force to hide his Force signature and sense Force users. Most of all, he still possesses morals.

Damn, that was a longer bio then I thought...but there it is.

Anyone have any problems with it, tell me. Nobody like a god-modder.

Thanks. I want him to be the first Confederatre "hero" post Clone Wars, while trying to set up the CIS and make sure it doesn't crumble.

Also...Bail got my vote.

i guess, character accepted, and yes the rule of two applies. so Korto the youngling or Offee one of many Jedi knights?

three votes for Bail so far...

Tholme, An'ya Kuro, Tsui Choi, and Bultar Swan are the four i think are the most likely to get added into the council(still has two spaces open)

i personaly select An'ya Kuro and Tsui Choi

Could I have Tarkin?

I say Bultar Swan gets a seat...

come on people! we need more players!

i am considering allowing the use of three characters

any people who have not posted here to accept there claimes will now lose them until they come back and claim them

Bail is fine with me.

thats four votes for Bail, and bump

Come and join ppl...very popular last time around...

possibly the fact that this one is a sequal(sp?) is effecting decisions to join?

Feh. Mayhaps we should post what happened before so people won't feel overwhelmed...

Feh. Mayhaps we should post what happened before so people won't feel overwhelmed...

That would be a good idea.

Just a note guys (I may have said this before), but if this gets kicked off in the next week or so, I won't be around for the beginning. When I get back, I will just make a post detailing that Yoda was away on a mission.

Just a question, (don't know if I'd join or not), Is Count Dooku dead in this one?

yes, the first RP started a few hours after the Mace Sidious duel(with the exseption of the duel being altered, to allow for the RP)

Aww...Dooku was me fav...lol tnx

Aww...Dooku was me fav...lol tnx

willing to join as someone else?

What race is Horgo Shive? I like the CIS and Ill join as him if you can gimme a little description.

Also, chack out my Clone Wars Alternate History thread here: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=486757, you guys would like it I think.

Hmm, it's tempting, but I think I'm in too many RPs as it is. I'll check again later if I feel I can do it. Tnx

Don't want to join another one with me? :p

Felt disturbance in the force, I have...:p

LoL I'm really considering this...

No one's Prince Xizor? The sharpshoot'n green skinned, martial artist, handsome, pheremones usin' Falleen?!? Wow!!


Has his planet been wiped out yet? Does he have his robot assistant still? Theres a ton of questions I would have of Xizor considering he was close to Palpatine, rival of Vader, and part of the empire. Plus, he had a lot of power over the hutts ;)

Hmm...I don't think so, since Anakin was killed prematurely, and I think Jabba's dead, leaving Xizor as the undisputed crime lord as head of Black Sun.

Also, since Vader never came, Falleen wasn't destroyed. So, come on and join! :D

planet should be safe(but if you want to change that, we can say the Moffs blasted it with some Star Destroyers) not sure when he got his robot(i'll look it up, and depending on when yes) now he is not close to Vader(who died as Anakin) probably not close to Palpy(though he can be if you want) isn't part of the Empire(which doesn't exist) but the Hutt part and leadership of Black Sun can stay

Sorry for all the questions, but Xizor was important in the Empire ;)

Would Xizor's palace/skyhook still be on Coruscant? His robot assitant's name is Guri ;)

Are there any other people RPing crime lords?

currently no but more people can join, and we have a rule of two: people can select two characters to RP if they want. i have also considered uping it to three, if anyone cares for that many.


EDIT: addressing the other things

not sure if Human replica droids exist yet, but i have no proof against it same with Xizor's palace and skyhook

bump

bump

i would like to make this post a post that addresses three issues, just to make sure they are all clear.

first we need a new Chancellor, currently Bail Organa has all the votes(and or "ok withs") at 4


next, we currently need two more members to be added to the council, currently An'ya Kuro, Tsui Choi, and Bultar Swan have had stated support for the job. the overall list of possibles i have is here(though most would not get it)

Tholme, An'ya Kuro, Tsui Choi, Jocasta Nu, Barriss Offee, Bultar Swan, Serra Keto, Bant Eerin, Joclad Danva, A'sharad Hett, Jastus Farr, Koffi Arana, Darrin Arkanian, Ood Bnar, Empatojayos Brand, Olana Chion, Sha Koon, Ma'Kis'Shaalas, Ali-Alann, Shadday Potkin, Qu Rahn, T'ra Saa, Roblio Darte, Pix, Noirah Na, Bene, Whie Malreaux

last is the issue of weather or not we should change the rule of two(allowing people to play with two characters) to a rule of three(if anyone wishes to have this option)

Could i claim Commander Cody?

A slight question, what exactly would the Crime Lord do? Like, would Xizor be inspected by Jedi or something like that, and held trial? Would Palpatine come and take all his stuff by force?

LoL It all boils down to the very important question...WWXD? LoL just had to say it...sorry...

Yeah, you can tell each post I'm getting more and more interested...:p

either of the two you stated could happen, Xizor could just decide to help one(i would think Black Sun would have a large fleet, or could buy/bully for one)

in other words, whatever you want to try to do, and whatever others try to do with that

Oooooo ahhhh...freedom...

Ok, I'll attempt to play Prince Xizor. Gonna have to do some reading up on him to remember his reactions and stuff. I might even pull out my old Shadows of the Empire's book.

Also, please tell me whether Guri will still be around when you find out about it.

Xizor can have Guri i guess...unless someone objects

In the first RP, Palps was publically revealed as Sidious. He's a wanted man; can't exactly go out and confiscate Xizor's stuff.

The Jedi couldn't investigate him; he didn't really have contact with Palps until he was the Emperor. He probably was acquainted with Palps, but not as close as in Shadows.

As a Crime Lord, Xizor could play devil's advocate, playing for both teams, or stick to one...

Not much the Palpatine stuff, but the crime lord 'business' that could set the Jedi on him ;)

Xizor could be a fun guy to RP *rubs hands sinisterly*

I'll take Captain Pellaeon and Commander Bacara.

I have one question. Do we get to use EU ships like the Victory class SD or do we stick to Venators and Acclamators?

I have one question. Do we get to use EU ships like the Victory class SD or do we stick to Venators and Acclamators?

EU ships exist(Republic even have Imperial class Star Destroyer, though under a different name Imperator or some such)

and some ships that where invented later are added, due to more conflict after the clone wars

If I could, I'd like to play my own Sith character. Is that alright. Here's his stuff:

Name: Mali-Pon Gurd

Affiliation: Sith

Age: Late 50's

Homeworld: Not sure. Taken by sith as small boy

trained by: Many Sith Lords, briefly including Darth Sidious, before he found Darth Maul

Height: 5"11"

Physical characteristics: His skin is a yellowish green tint. His legs and forearms are almost completely covered with sith tatoo patterns. His eyes are pure white with no pupil or iris. He also looks very young. Almost as if he was in his early twenties

Hair Color: Jet Black

Weapon of choice: Two red lightsabers

Force powers: He has a great knowledge of the force. For his young age, he is great with most force powers. His two greatest ones however are Force Choke and Force Drain.

History: Mali-Pon was takne from his home as a small boy following a Dark Force attack on his village. Mali-Pon was taken too young to remember anything about his home. However he could remember slight information about his mother. This could possibly be why he was so easily persuaded to the dark side.

He was taken after a high midi-chlorian count was detected in him. After the raid, he was apprenteced for many years by various powerful sith masters. However, he would never get the chance to be a Sith Lord because he was never apprenticed with the purpose of Sith Lordship, and the rule of two would prevent it. However, he, like most Dark Siders, passionatley loves his power and strength, so that he always trains in an effort for greater power.

During his time going from master to master, he also searched for his past. He had strange dreams about his homeplanet, seeing it but he was never able to recognize it. However, his past life is unimportant to him, as he was brought up to be a sith from childhood. In fact, his life story is very similar to that of Darth Maul, but unlike Darth Maul, he is always in search of power, wether he has to kill his master to get it or not.

But as time went on, he had become more and more recognized by the sith and the Dark Force, becoming a very usefullhenchmen sort of person. He didn't enjoy the idea, but it was the only way he'd ever get any power. Even during this time though, he'd search for his home planet. Which did become increasingly hard as the dark side changed his body from his original graceful appearance.

Strengths: extensive knowledge of the force, highly intelligent

Weaknesses: Even with his extensive knowledge of the force, he is only a mediocre lightsaber fighter, only being great at defense.

If I could, I'd like to play my own Sith character. Is that alright. Here's his stuff:

Name: Mali-Pon Gurd

Affiliation: Sith

Age: Late 50's

Homeworld: Not sure. Taken by sith as small boy

trained by: Many Sith Lords, briefly including Darth Sidious, before he found Darth Maul

Height: 5"11"

Physical characteristics: His skin is a yellowish green tint. His legs and forearms are almost completely covered with sith tatoo patterns. His eyes are pure white with no pupil or iris. He also looks very young. Almost as if he was in his early twenties

Hair Color: Jet Black

Weapon of choice: Two red lightsabers

Force powers: He has a great knowledge of the force. For his young age, he is great with most force powers. His two greatest ones however are Force Choke and Force Drain.

History: Mali-Pon was takne from his home as a small boy following a sith attack on a planet. Mali-Pon was taken too young to remember anything about his home. However he could remember slight information about his mother. This could possibly be why he was so easily persuaded to the dark side.

He was taken after a high midi-chlorian count was detected in him. After the raid, he was apprenteced for many years by various powerful sith masters. However, he would never get the chance to be a Sith Lord because he was never apprenticed with the purpose of Sith Lordship, and the rule of two would prevent it. However, he, like most Sith, passionatley loves his power and strength, so that he always trains in an effort for greater power.

During his time going from master to master, he also searched for his past. He had strange dreams about his homeplanet, seeing it but he was never able to recognize it. However, his past life is unimportant to him, as he was brought up to be a sith from childhood. In fact, his life story is very similar to that of Darth Maul, but unlike Darth Maul, he is always in search of power, wether he has to kill his master to get it or not.

But as time went on, he had become more and more recognized by the sith, becoming a very usefull henchmen sort of person. He didn't enjoy the idea, but it was the only way he'd ever get any power. Even during this time though, he'd search for his home planet. Which did become increasingly hard as the dark side changed his body from his original graceful appearance.

Weaknesses: Even with his extensive knowledge of the force, he is only a mediocre lightsaber fighter, only being good at defense.

That's really good. The only problem is that the Sith don't have the manpower to overwhelm a planet, but Sidious kidnapping him and throwing them away for Maul is plausible.

yeah, the sith had only 2 members for about 1,000 years before the clone wars. the Sith at this time period where in hideing not attacking planets. as for the training and use, i think it more probable that he would be a member of the Dark Force(litteraly something of a brake off from the Sith). as they also have more man power then the Sith(though they are considerably weaker then any known group of Sith before the rule of two)

Oops, I just meant to say his village, not the whole planet. And actually there's always more than just two sith. But at one time, there's only two sith lords. Palpatine himself, probably had about three apprentices at every time, just only one was his true apprentice. So there are many Sith/ Fallen Jedis/ Dark Siders at one time, but as you said only two lords. Sorry for the mistake.

there are many dark siders, but no, there are only two this as of 1,000 BBY

The Dark Lords Sidious, Vader, and Tyranus had each trained some followers with dark side abilities and occasionally inducted a number deeply into Sith lore and powers, but none of these followers were given the full Sith rites and training; thus The "rule of two" was consistent during the era of Darth Sidious.

As I said, there are only two actual Sith, but there are many Sith followers and belivers, mine being one.

Indeed.

The Rule of Two was set after the New Sith Wars, after Darth Bane was the sole surviving Sith.

One to embody power, one to crave it. Only a master, and a apprentice.

As I said, there are only two actual Sith, but there are many Sith followers and belivers, mine being one.

Also, those are Dark Jedi, entirely accepatable. They weren't Sith.

Sidious started after Tyranus, and has not had the chance to start till now(the start of the RP) Tyranus was really the first to use that idea, and being that Vader is dead and Sidious has had little chance to do such things(much less attack a town by himself and altimatly show the Jedi where he is, even with a few 501st clones that may or may not be under his command.(and that would only be in the past five years) thus it is unlikely your character is conected with the Sith in any direct form

his relation to the Sith probably should not exist, however he is welcome to be a Dark Jedi with or without a relation to the Dark Force

Thank you for finally understanding what I'm saying. I'm agreeing with you're earlier statement:

My character is merely a dark sider, and not a true Sith. But with this in mind, he is a deep believer in the Sith lore and training. I hope I made it clear now.

so is he a ranmdom Dark Jedi, or part of the Dark Force.

and the history statement of the Sith attack should be changed to Dark Jedi or Dark Force, soly because the Sith themselfs cant make such a strike

Part of the Dark Force. And that's fine with me, I'll change it right now.

and sorry for my confusion, i guess i am overly use to people assumeing that if its on the dark side its a sith, no matter how much he/she knows about sith teachings

That's fine, I was a little unclear. But I do acknowledge the rule of two. And by the way, what ever came of the Sith race. I don't mean Sith like Darth Sidious and Darth Vader, but the actual Sith race. I can't really find anything about them.

as i remember, due to sith alkemy(sp?) they became whatever Exar Kun made them(cant remember the name atm) then when the Jedi attacked he used them to keep him allive, thus i think they are extinked

sorry for my spelling, in a hurry here. last post for a bit

They bred with the Dark Jedi who fled from the Jedi, and eventually, got swallowed up. The Sith as a race cross-bred with the Dark Jedi, and became the Sith we know and love.

still, the Sith(Force users) with Sith blood in them where the last of the Sith(aside from the Massassi) and the cross bread Sith died out about 4,400 BBY, and the Massassi where almost gone with Exar Kun about 4,000 BBY

so just to get this moveing, unless anyone has any problems Bail Organa will be Chancellor (possibly on his second term), Taun We will be Kamino's ammbassidor in the Republic senate. and shall i select 2 Jedi to be put on the council?


really people, unless you want me to select everything myself start voteing on who should be channcellor and which knight/masters should be on the council

bump

I don't think it matters to most people. That said, I suppose I'll vote for Tsui Choi and Qu Rahn for the seats on the Council. I've no problem with Senator Organa as Chancellor either.

Also, seeing as we're using more than one character I'd like to also take Spar, assuming he is still Mandalore and leader of the Mandalorian Protectors.

What else has gone on?

well, even if most people don't care it can have a major impact on the RP. :)

yes he is, and added with him as a second

Well, I'm not a big huge Star Wars freak and know all of the characters, so I'll just vote for whatever you say Nebarri. I trust that you know what you're talking about. I do like Star Wars a lot, but I'm not like a huge fan that goes to all the conventions and stuff. So just count my vote to whatever you said.

being that said i think Bail is now safely channcelor.

and if i remember correctly, councilship standings are now:

Tsui Choi has 3, Swan has 1, An'ya Kuro has 2, and Qu Rahn 1



btw, never been to a convention myself

should we start now(thus adding currently leading Council members automaticly into the council) or not?

also, bump

I think us two are the only two online right now, and I won't be able to be on for very long. We have a kennel, and I'll hae to help with that today all day. Tonight, I'll be able to get on though. We could start right now though, and get a few posts in if you want to.

I guess I'll bumb this up so...

i would rather wait to see what others think first

I've no problem starting this now.

I don't have a problem either. I'm pretty sure I can be the rest of the night.

I'm ready to go.

I'm ready to start anytime ;)

Let's start.

Edit: and can i grab Commander Neyo again...he worked with Mace in the first one well, and since nobody seems to be taking him...

added Neyo

i will wait a day and PM all who have not yet confirmed they are ready to start. also, anyone happen to want to start this one off? i could but rather dislike having to do first posts

I'll do it, but you need to tell me which forum to do it under.

Bump. Just in case anybody forgot.

I'll do it, but you need to tell me which forum to do it under.

what do you mean which forum? in II with a new IC thread i would say...

i have been a little buisy. but i'll get TGs out to people who don't post on here regularly to let them know we will be starting

DMG is back! (at least for a couple of days before heading out again).

Everything that I have read here sounds good to me. Let's get this started and TG all of the people to alert them of the beginning.

So, are we finally starting this thing then?

BU said he would three days ago, so it is up to him (I started the first one, but I don't really feel like starting another one as I only have a couple days until I have to leave again).

Sorry I was out, have we started yet...

I don't think so lol

Sorry I was out, have we started yet...

Nope... still waiting for BU to make the first post.

I have probably alerted many of you to this already, but I figured I would make a post reminding everyone. I am leaving tomorrow (June 22nd) morning for a ten day trip where there is absolutely no chance I can use the internet (i.e. there is no internet there). I will be returning the night of July 2nd, but I will most likely be very tired and have a lot of threads to catch up on. I will do my best to catch up on as many as I can, but I won't promise anything. I have to get up early the next day, so I will probably only be on for a couple hours on the 2nd. Furthermore, I will be very busy on the 3rd, so I will most likely only be on for a couple of hours. On the 4th I will be traveling almost all day again. I probably won't be on that night as it is the 4th of July, but hopefully I will be back on the 5th (though I will have unpacking to do for the summer). Oh, and one more thing, often when I get to my summer house, the internet is broken (more literally, the line has been cut and it can take a couple days to get back), however that most likely will not be the case this year.

Anyway, I hope to be back on by the 2nd and caught up on the 3rd.

If no one else will, should I make the first post? Seems like nothing's progressing.

I assume this is just dead now.

I've heard nothing from it in days.

I've heard nothing from it in days.

That is why I am assuming it is dead and removing it from my subscription list (contact me via TG if it gets up and running).

could always start it up again, or even to the first over and have all characters open, rather then reserved, to see how the story may change

I'd love to get this started...
