It's a shitty situation to be in, but I agree with Noble. We can't [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana_fallacy]hope for the perfect outcome[/url] until Courtaud logs back in to check his projects, which may or may not happen. ([url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/5083347]Believe me. :([/url] ) And we can only wait so long before people fall out of the habit of replying to the thread, forgetting their obligation to a collaborative story which, in a certain sense, has forgotten them. (And it does [i]not[/i] take much of a posting gap for this to happen.) So until he returns we have two actual, tangible options: godmod for Ishida Minato or let the thread die.

If it seems like I'm taking the act of godmoding too lightly, I suppose it's because I don't want to consider that second option at all. I suppose I'm willing to break decorum because the story has too much potential, and each of you has been too pleasant to write with, for me to give up on the thread so easily.

Of course, I'm praying that Courtaud comes back in the next four or seven or whatever days and makes all this apocalyptic talk look real freakin stupid in retrospect. But right now that's lookin like a miracle scenario.
