Allllllllright...

Have to bring some things out into the open, because having stuff all taking place behind closed doors in places and delivered and re-delivered as second hand information... well, it's not gonna get us anywhere good.

First, anyone visiting my own Workshop thread will probably see that I've been chipping away at a start on a Ju-V game.  That is because at this point it's the presumptive frontrunner.

That [b]DOES NOT[/b] make it the automatic selection.  [b]IT IS ALSO NOT[/b] the current full premise going forward.  What it is, was me fooling about in the short term, tinkering with a premise and ideas, before [@Roman] fired up a GoogleDoc which is where the [b]ACTUAL[/b] Ju-V premise is currently being built.

It is also not the automatic selection.  [b]AND[/b] we are [b]VERY[/b] interested in hearing the thoughts, opinions and also votes of anyone yet to do so.  With it taking an early sizable lead, though, we figured it best to get on the same page in terms of how it would basically look so we could more or less hit the ground running.

Thoughts, opinions and suggestions from the group will be considered and, quite possibly, utilised in the world building of this game.  [@Psych0Pomp]'s suggestion, being one likely example at this stage.

Further, many of you may have seen a new game proposal/characters being worked away at within [@Lord Wraith]'s Workshop thread.  This is basically to hopefully bring some kind of conclusion to the Hyperion arc.

[hr]Now, here I am at pains to say I have made my own error.  As I have communicated to many of you that I will be helping Wraith in churning out posts to bring about some closure to this arc, I also added that I sought permission and gained it from Wraith to cameo many of your characters in my own matter within this short-term, mini-RP.  This is [b]NOT ACCURATE[/b].

[h3][b]THIS WAS ENTIRELY MY ERROR AND DUE ENTIRELY TO MISCOMMUNICATION ON MY END[/b][/h3]

I can not stress that enough.

I have been spinning plates on my end, have a good half dozen or so DM threads flying like the wind over the past few days.  I asked Wraith that question, in a discussion with many directions and tangents.  The flow of the conversation changed to a different area of discussion, within the same RP topic, [b]AND I ASSUMED THE ANSWER, FORMING MY OWN CONCLUSION[/b].  I then repeated this to many of you, and that information was wrong.  And that was entirely my fault.

He has since said to me:

[quote]" ... I'd rather just say the hard no, than lead people on"[/quote]

And

[quote]"Also I'd rather those desiring this approach me directly than make you the middle man."[/quote]

Which, given my own error already, combined with the fact he can probably see I've been about as busy as a one-legged man in an arse kicking competition, is frankly greatly appreciated.  :lol

This mini-RP is basically only to bring closure to the RP arc, and generally has little to do with the students.  I was likely to use anyone who wanted to get involved in a purely cameo capacity, perhaps if I could find a thematic parallel which would work with a specific post's thrust I'd have them in forematter... something like that.

[b]I was however, wrong to say I had permission to do that.  I had assumed it on my end when no such answer had been given.[/b]

Let alone to share that false piece of information with the rest of you.

[hr]

Back to this game though.  Wheels are in motion.  Roman and I have been making in-roads on the less well developed ideas (read: anything out of my own head :lol ) and we both hope you'll stick at this, bring your opinions, thoughts, suggestions (VOTES!  those of you still to do so) and vision aboard for whatever we go ahead with next.

Long story short, in summary.

* What's in My Workshop is a garbled mess and not to be depended on.
* Opinions, suggestions and thoughts welcome
* The words of the old man in the chair are not to be depended on.
* Some old people sure do ramble on, don't they?
