[center][h1][color=00aeef]Announcement[/color][/h1][/center] [@Necrophage][@FantasyChic][@Vashonn][@RumikoOhara][@pugbutter][@alexfangtalon] Hi everyone. As you can see, Wick has decided to leave because the lack of consistency with posting. It's not just here but in other RPs she's in. I understand how she feels about all of that and well, I'm going to miss her and I wish her the best. And I want to take the time to say that I appreciate what she's done and in fact, I appreciate all that you guys do and the patience you've had considering how slow it's been here lately. I want to also apologize to you all on how slow I've been at posting and usually when an RP slows down, it starts to die or become uninteresting. In some cases, it's because real life has taken a strangle hold on us. Some of us have different circumstances that allows us to have plenty of time to RP and post regularly and quickly or would keep us from posting regularly. I myself work throughout the day and I have a family I come home to and needs/wants my full attention. So, my posting is not always regular since I'm either warn out or lazy from the rough work week, mentally and physically. I'm not trying to make excuses but this is what I deal with. I only have time during work on breaks and when I come home and sometimes during the weekends to post but I have to deal with distractions and other real life things that would keep me away from RPing. Then I have the factor of trying to develop a significant post to bring in detail to the story so to not jump into fight scenes every time and moment with not story development. I usually don't post when I'm mentally worn. For those who can't post because of the position your character is in and the fact that you're waiting on me, I apologize as well because it's holding you up from posting in reason. I don't claim to be a good or great GM, I'm just a guy who had an idea I wanted to write out and share with others to join. It's a little upsetting when one loses people to an RP but if they wanna leave, I can't do anything about it but wish them the best. I don't have ill will towards anyone who wants to quit. But for anyone who wants to stay, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. My Rping posting style I try to use, allows everyone to try and keep up with whats going on so far in the story. And if anyone have any concerns about when I'm posting or things about the RP that you would like to see adjustments in, feel free to contact me. I'm willing to listen and work things out. Now...yes @Necro, We will be moving forward without Wick and we can use her characters as NPC. and as far as the RP itself, I'm going to let the show continue. I will post this afternoon or this evening and move forward with the operation so that we can start wrapping this mission up with the discovery of the infiltration and the race to get the children out while fending off the enemy. Also...I would like to do a head count as to who is still with us? again, I apologize for the hold up. Again, we all have different circumstances that I can't fault you all for if it doesn't allow you to post regularly or causes you to have to step down from here. I know this sounds lame, but I love you all and you're like family here to me.
