Sorry folks, but I think I'm going to shut this one down. At the moment I'm finding myself with far less free time to pursue hobbies other than RP, and even with once-a-week posts by me, this is still too much of a draw on the time I do have. Not mention, I've kind of lost my motivation for it for various reasons I'm not going to go into. Having a bunch of people drop out right at the beginning after the int-check, and then more of the core cast shortly after that certainly didn't help - although, I don't particularly blame anyone for it; RL always takes priority, and that's as it should be. It can kill a game more easily than anything though, especially as far as motivation is concerned.

Sorry if you're all disappointed, but I really just want more time to do other things at the moment. I'll be sticking with GEARs as the only RP I'm running right now, and probably the only one I'll participate in for the meantime also. 
If you want to start another RP like this yourselves, you're more than welcome to do so. However, I would please ask that you don't use this setting and my ideas, as I'd like to keep them around in case I wish to run TB another time.
