Well, I hate to give a double-whammy of bad news.... But I don't think I can carry with this RP, with all my other obligations + the dreaded catch-up of life. I'll also admit that I just found that the RP a little too confusing to keep track of who was doing what. So sorry for the bad news, but I'm afraid I'll call it curtains for now.
Well I may have feared this rp would have taken this turn, hopefully this community can pull through and keep this story going or maybe in the far future we would have to reboot this whole thing if it gets rebooted at all. Fortunately I have learned a valuable lesson from all this and already have a plan for the next RP, one that probably merits far more independent character freedom in a considerably more controlled set of locations.
Three people saying that they weren't quitting, still only one actually person posts. oh well this RP was fun while it lasted.
