I think if anybody is going to intervene, they should post next. In which case that would not be me... *Evil Grin*
I vote we just have no conflict with Rend and just have him a casualty of the cryo-freeze. I mean we are going to have to go back into the tanks since we are still 4 years travel to the closest destination. We can just have him assessing his situation and waiting in the background to see the turn of events and start working on exploitations until there is a good character exit.

I think that everybody would be trying to let by-gones be by-gones since we are going to need every resource regardless of how problematic it might seem. I mean right now even a felon might seem useful to us right now. I think simply killing him would change the spirit of the story significantly.
We can always have him be used as an antagonist or an NPC.
I'm sticking around until either the GM closes up shop or nobody posts. Generally that is 2 weeks after "sorry guys been I've been dealing with IRL" by that point almost nobody returns even if the person causing the hang up jumps back in. I always post before ditching so that people don't wait on me just in case I'm wrong.

This one is definitely in the gray area, so I will wait some more I guess.
I'd like to keep playing. But playing isn't a once a month extravaganza. That's more like a "Man, I'm bored. I guess I can write something since I don't have anything better to do."

It doesn't matter your real life issues, you can fit in a page of writing even in a hectic life (Heck, people can do it in the middle of combat! I can do it with a 70 hour work week interrupted all night by a new baby. Somehow time magically landed in my lap.) I mean, you've written more in the OOC than it would require to write a post. This isn't some sort of huge commitment I'm asking for here.

As I said, I don't mind that people have real problems, but RL issues are not some sort of trump card. Think about it this way... if you went to a restaurant and ordered, but found out that your chef couldn't get you your food because of some personal life problem, you would probably be annoyed but pretty forgiving. Now, if you have been doing this for years and EVERY chef at at every restaurant you go to fails to deliver your food because of "personal life issues", I'm sure you would call BS. That is where I am at this point, and I'm particularly annoyed because I really like this game and DON'T want to move on.
@SheriffLlama Do accept my most sincere apologies for respecting your time then.

Look, it is RUDE having people wait on you. I cannot think of ANY situation in which such behavior is to be put up with. I understand that life happens, I myself just had a whole dump-truck of life happen, and I'm sure it outclasses most IRL issues people use as excuses. Nobody noticed because I try to be respectful of people's time and write even if I don't feel the magic. In this case I didn't have to shirk any responsibility, but if I needed to, you can be sure that I would fire off a quick apology and set things up so that people could do their thing without me.

I would feel horrible leaving people to linger indefinitely on me like I'm some sort of celebrity.
This isn't like this is golf or chess or something that requires concentration and reflection. I have had EVERY game on this site turn out like this. We make characters, the GM slaves over an awesome adventure, then we introduce our characters and... nothing. Nothing at all happens. IRL stuff comes up always, and then the game shrivels up. Out of the the dozens of other players I've played with on here who have IRL issues, it is pretty dang suspicious by this point. Either they have grotesquely poor time management and they are too embarrassed or rude to say "sorry guys, go on without me" or they have gaming as a super low priority (like second even to watching Battle Star Galactica reruns on Netflix.) If everybody is so tied up in IRL, then what the heck are they doing on here? Why are they even IN a game? They need to close up shop, quit their games, and get back to doing whatever is so pressing to consume weeks and months at a time without an hour or minute to spare.

Now, if the GM wants me to linger a little longer, I'll go for it. I care about the effort that Beyond Visions and others have put into the game and I'm not so rude to vanish without a trace. But I'm done waiting. I won't be checking this game any more for updates, and I might or might not log on to the site, and I'm going to go find somewhere that people actually play.
Well, I'm calling it quits. I joined this site years ago in order to play in a roleplaying game, I have yet to actually DO that. You all have fun waiting without me.
I play because I find it fun. I don't know about the rest of you, but it supercharges my batteries and refreshes me. It makes me deal with real-life stuff way better and de-stresses me so that I'm ready for my next beating the world is dishing out. No offense, but I totally don't get having to be "in the mood" or having "creative energies tapped."

I'm told to shut up, do stuff I don't want to and I do the hard work to make someone else's vision come to life. I have to deal with that all day long. So when I get to be myself, you bet I jump at the chance no matter what's going on in my life. I don't know if I'm just nuts or if other people roleplay because they don't have anything better to do or what, but about every game I've been in seems like I'm the only one eager to play.
So, are we pretty much done here? Because it's been a week since someone posted... and that was me.
