Current you know, my SO never forces me to say a thing that's on my mind and doesn't mind if I don't always explain myself which makes it way easier to actually tell them stuff. boundaries good.

if your boyfriend loves you for who you are he already knows what you read without you needing to tell him

no, its the manufacturer's lack of a soul that's causing it to act up on you

as much as I'd love to pre-plan RPs, I've also noticed that's the fast track to killing them. A little planning and a rough gist is fine, but anything beyond that and people don't wanna write no more.

And when the graves had all been dug, the queen rode out of town.

Alright. I think it's time to end this.

I don't think I can do this RP anymore, I'm afraid. It's been one hell of a ride, almost two years since I suggested rebooting it. It's been one heck of a ride, going in gung-ho without a plan and shooting for the moon to see what I'd get. Along the way I improved, dealt with drama, fleshed out some broken systems and actually had a plot going. Things looked to be going well, but then the pacing issues hit. Interest seemed to dwindle from my players, and honestly from me as well. I think it's been obvious for a while that my writing became more uninspired the longer this went along, and I've always dreaded having to come up with the next post.

Honestly, the only thing that kept me going was the fact I was the only one who could give you guys what you wanted: A YGO RP that wouldn't die. Not like any of KOgaming's or Garland's failed attempts, or forced-into-being-the-GM-while-not-wanting-to like Scarifar and Silver had to endure. No, I wanted to be the one that started something and then saw it through to the end. I felt I owed you guys that much.

But... I can't do it. It's not been fun for a while now. I guess I could try to shift the blame to you guys, but there isn't much point. I had to do most duels, and they became a chore to write. Whenever I tried to push something forward, I couldn't rely on anyone but one or two people to actually take initiative and, most of all, we just had too many people. Exclusing my two GMpc's, there were 13 characters I had to account for at all times. Make sure everyone had something to do within the honestly small scale of an academy. In that sense, the setting was very ill-fit. I came up with diversions, but they wound up being more of a farce. Encouraging people to make their own fun also wasn't working and I noticed some cliques started forming- and not going to lie, I have my own clique.

So yes, there are a lot of factors to this decision. However, I'll still say "Thank you". Because even if this is a big decision which I've been pondering and discussing for a while now, I feel grateful that this project was fun for some. I know it's going to be a dissapointment to see it end like this, but I think that keeping this going would have made it a shell of what it once was. Maybe one day I'll give GMing another shot, with my own original concept, some fleshed out rules, less characters and a whole new setting. But this has been a great learning experience, so...

Thanks for playing @Eklispe, @1Charak2, @Scarifar, @Jangel13, @Satoshi Kyou, @vancexentan, @Tojin, @The Irish Tree, @LunarStandard and @Joshua Tamashii
So for those wondering why I didn't post on Wendesday while I said I was going to, das why.

It was a fun run for the short while it lasted, at least. I'm kind of sad about having to lose Yasu as she's one of the best characters I think I've thought up of yet, but I wouldn't dare re-use her for anything other than the tale she was created for. Also I might have kind of sorta shipped Endar and Yasu? Don't tell anyone tho. I'm supposed to be anti-shipping. Just thought they were cute.
-Ah shit I totally forgot about doing anything for this. Whoop whoop.

If the others are still interested in keeping this alive 'till KO gets back, I'll get something up. Not going to bother 'less I know I'm not the only one who'll write, though.
Surprise I'm still alive.

Got a Devors post out, and I'm 50/50 about making one for Serah. With the fact Atty's repaired, it'd be logical that she'd wake up and take advantage of it, but waking her up still feels premature and with the fact she'd need to gather her thoughts I don't think she'd be able to react fast enough to run on her own.
As the storm calmed down somewhat, Devors had begun to hover back to NOAH. He wasn't of any use anymore as blowing open the base was the primary goal of his deployment. The man had shut up for once, taking in the eerily silent atmosphere as the two artillery units of the squad were charging and no new orders came in for a little while. His gut told him that it wasn't over just yet, but... there were bigger things on his mind right now. Especially as he was docking, getting out of Ranius and letting the recycled air of the ship wash over him. It certainly felt fresher compared to the cockpit of his framewerk.

Just as he managed to unwind though, explosions loud enough to be heard all the way to NOAH reached Devors' ears. He figured the cavalry arrived- that, or the artillery duo decided to blow their load early. Either way, the man didn't really care. The kids our there could solve out their own problems, he had something else to go and confirm. The man paced past the engineers scrounging to get to his framewerk and brushed off the medics looking to see if he's unhurt and, more importantly, sober. He held a brisk pace, looking for a certain facility in the ship: The Emergency room. He knew he wasn't supposed to just freely roam like that, in case he needed to go back out and all, but it wouldn't be the first time this man would be scolded for insubordination. It's a miracle he hasn't been gotten rid of, really.

Surprisingly, or maybe because the staff was all over the place because of the chaos, there was nobody guarding the door to the ER. Devors was able to walk in, being met with cries of "Sir you shouldn't be here," and the like. Unfortunately for them, they couldn't focus on forcing Devors out of the room as Elise's wounds were much too severe to ignore. Devors still respected their work, however, and kept his distance. She was engrossed in looking at the nearby video feed- no doubt placed there so the medics were able to quickly mobilize for new dockers like himself. She was an absolute mess and Devors couldn't bear to see that. Blood was all over the place, her small body was limp and they hadn't even begun to remove the broken helmet yet- showing just how critical the other injuries are.

He told her to move out of the way, damnit! If only she'd listened to him... but in reality, it might have been his fault for going with a stupid plan. The man was confident in his own skill, but there was no way Elise could have been too- not in the heat of the moment. He knows, however, that sticking around will be worse for her in the long run. The people trained to deal with this situation needed to focus, and so Devors moved out of the room and collapsed against the outside wall. He was going to need to get even drunker after this- forget about the entire mess. That usually helped.
I haven't disappeared- just been inactive in everything. Having nothing to do all day left me in a writing rut for the whole of August- hopefully I'll get my groove back once I go to school tomorrow. I've been making some good progress on the Lite/Maisy duel, but it's still going to take until at least the end of the week to finish at the rate we're going.

I kinda purposely left it vague. I'm game for doing stuff if you are.


Leaving it vague just means people won't know where to look for you, so I could have Rura move from the safari to somewhere else but I'd need a location for her to (maybe literally) bump into your character.
Oh, so duels were happening.

People should probably mention this.
I was kinda hoping for someone to stumble onto Rura but I guess that isn't happening-

Unless @Scarifar is planning on interacting with her, I could probably find some kind of excuse for her to go to the pool (maybe wanting to soothe Tidal? also she can't actually talk to spirits or anything, she just likes taking care of her cards) or I could do something with @Clanjos' character... the only issue is that I have no clue when or where any of his stuff is happening.
