Filling in the blanks won't be much of an issue, and if we do this, I need you guys to at least try to be more active. I don't want to bust my ass off trying to keep this game alive and come up with stuff for you guys to do to be met with a resounding "Meh", and I'm sure Soul feels the same way. We've been running this for nearly 3 years now, trying our damnedest to make up new events, characters, and encounters for everyone while also fielding questions from all of you guys. Hell, the last several IC posts have been collabs with GMs. Our intention with this game was to gradually back off and let you guys start making your own choices and paths with the characters where we, as the GMs, would start reacting to what [I]you[/I] guys did. But the more it seems we back off instead of keeping this thing on rails, the less you guys seem to want to post. It's kind of discouraging, to say the least. 

I understand you guys are all busy with personal life shit, but don't think that Soul and I aren't either; we MAKE the time so we can do this for YOU guys. When this game is active and flowing, I absolutely love doing it and don't mind taking time out of other stuff I could be doing or SHOULD be doing because it's a lot of fun, but when I work my ass off, taking hours to write something up so you guys have something to do and absolutely nobody replies, it doesn't exactly make me feel like doing this anymore. Trust me, it isn't that hard to take 10-15 minutes a day to write up a paragraph or two and then come back to do another paragraph or two the next day; you can get a post up pretty fast that way with absolutely minimal time commitment. I don't know how many times we have to keep saying this: The expectations are 2 paragraphs, we're not looking for 10+ every single time you post. The reason the GM posts are that long is because we're juggling a shitload of NPCs and events for the player characters as well as taking the time to do collabs with you guys whenever you ask us to. Once again, we're making the time to do this for you guys so you can enjoy the game. We don't do this because we have no lives and this is our only creative outlet.

A big problem, I think, is that instead of interacting with each other's characters, a lot of you seem to have decided to turn a bunch of NPCs into pseudo player characters that your character almost solely interacts with. As for the absenteeism, I would like to point out that if we followed our posting guidelines, this game would have died a long time ago because pretty much nobody is meeting them.

What I'm getting at is that the last thing I want to do is a large time skip that would take us to Skyrim, write up a summary of all the stuff the happened (or would have happened) in a summary, and then set you guys up to keep posting and then nothing. It's pretty much where we stand right now, and honestly, I have very little expectation of this game surviving in its current state. I would like to stress this; this game is very close to being shut down because we're running out of steam and seeing absolutely no reciprocation of our efforts. We aren't demanding much, and even that apparently is too much, especially with the latest chorus of check in.
