[center][h3]Attention, duelists![/h3][/center]
Since it has now beeen roughly 1.5 weeks since this OOC was started, I'm going to set a bit of a soft deadline for you all, as I'd prefer this RP to actuall get started wuth the IC at some point within a reasonably near future.

As such, [b]this coming weekend[/b], which is August 29th - 31st, I'd like to ask anyone who is still interested in joining this RP to have submitted their character sheet for review. This gives you about a week to get your character in order. The reason for this is three-fold.

1) I personally feel that half a month of time passing before an RP's IC actually starts is a bit on the long and slow side. 

2) People who've finished their characters shouldn't have to sit around, twiddle their thumbs and wait in start-up limbo/purgatory for too long, as their interest will undoubtedly start to fade or wane if they hafta  do nothing for too long.

3) I'd like to see the RP actually start, and the thread to pick up some activity and interaction between players, not just me sitting and replying to questions or approving/rejecting character sheets. While that [i][b]is[/b][/i] part of what I do as a GM, I also want you lot to talk, banter and plan things among yourselves. Or just make silly, pointless and amusing small-talk. A healthy OOC with active players is usually a healhy RP in general.

So. TL;DR:

Next weekend (August 29th-31st, 2025) is the deadline for submitting CS'es. After that, I'm gonna try and start the IC asap.
