Reluctantly retired roleplayer.

Except when I'm not.

Why are you here when you should be writing posts?

You can edit a bad draft, but you cannot edit a blank page.

So I am torn. As others have said, I was under the impression this RP would stop and our energies would be put into getting a new one going. From the sounds, the new RP is still going to be a thing and I was looking forward to it. If I opt for that, can I continue with PRCU?

I am also not the type of RPer who can sit comfortably for days or weeks when nothing is being done. I am not saying I expect Wraith or whoever to give this RP or any RP full-time commitment. I don't want that. If we, as players, are expected to push things forward, that's fine. But with some staying and some going...what are we going to do? Are they going to be NPCs? Written out? I am NOT going through another application run.

As of right now, I am tentatively staying put in PRCU. I said if most wanted to continue I would be happy to. I like everyone and the story we told, but if we are going to continue poking a dead carcass hoping it will move, then I can't say I'll stick around long. If we ARE committed to keeping this going, I am ready to help.


At this time, I can say I have no intention to do an application drive. Basically waiting for the dust to settle before I begin formulating a full plan moving forward.
Might be best to do a head count so you can see where everyone is at, then.


Agreed, if you're still interested in continuing on, please sound off in the thread. There is no pressure to continue one way or another, I understand looking forward to what Hound and Roman are working on.
@Roman asked me to post this here as well regarding the continuation of P.R.C.U. following my post a few moments ago:

Okay,

It has been an interesting couple of days. But I want to address a few things:

-I was never ready to abandon P.R.C.U., however, yes, I made you guys wait a very long time and did not hold myself accountable to my own rules. As most, if not all of you are aware, I am currently prepping for my first child. I am additionally taking on my responsibilities at work, volunteering weekly and going through my professional registration process. This has left me with less free time than when we started back in February before either my wife or I knew we were expecting for reference, that all said I should have more clearly communicated my time.

-I've given it a lot of thought and I would like to continue with P.R.C.U. If it's dead, it's dead and people have moved and that's fine and that's my fault. However, I'd like to keep this going. Many of you have noted the amount of work put into the front end of the RP, and it's true. This is a passion project designed for the long haul. That said, as the past month has shown and knowing what I'm expecting in the fall, I can't possibly promise or guarantee a post every fourteen days. So if we move forward, it will be without the post deadline in place, it'll be suspended and people will be responsible to post in their own time.

-There will be times when I will be hands-off and have to leave you lot to almost sandbox, this will be especially true in November and December I would imagine. However, I have no idea what to expect when the baby comes, so I'm dealing with a lot of uncertainty. But what I want to communicate is that I'm not abandoning this project, however, it might not have a consistent or regular pace. It will likely be feast and famine and if that doesn't work for you, I completely understand.

-That said, I'm not trying to rush the RP to a conclusion either. I want to have this place out and there might be times where it drags a bit, but we'll cross those bridges when we get there.

-I am in no way trying to stop Roman or Hound from carrying on with their project. I fully believe they should continue with whatever idea gets voted in. If only because it will have a more consistent and guaranteed pace. If you want to remain part of both, we'll all be happy, but we also understand if you only want to dedicate time to one or other.

-I apologize for all of the confusion, but must genuinely express that the idea of simply moving the RP to a slower pace hadn't initially occurred to me. No matter who is left, I will continue on with P.R.C.U. as long as it has interested players.

EDIT: Regarding the draft for Agents of H.E.L.P. in my workshop thread, that was envisioned as 1x1 or small group to finish the Hyperion portion of the story in the event P.R.C.U. was actually done as a whole. My thought process was having one or two partners meant easier communication and management of expectations. Your characters would not have been involved, nor referenced out of respect to your creations.

Another timely case of fat fingers...


The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Thanks for the votes so far everyone. I've been subtly tracking choices and trying to weight votes appropriately - in hindsight I probably should have said something like 'spread 6 points across your top 3 picks however you like' but we move on (and I think I'm keeping track of priority picks well enough).

I'm also tracking who's popped in to vote - inevitably I think some amount of the roster will fall away but it would be nice to carry forward as many of us as possible!

So far it's looking like 2 is out in front, which honestly Hound and I anticipated. We'll start looking at the structure needed in closer detail.


If I have six votes to spread, here's how I would vote:

Ju-V - 3 Votes

Samāra - 2 Votes

Blighted Kingdom - 1 Vote
