Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #775 – July 08, 2014, 04:33:11 AM Well I disagree. They showed us a lot of things the prequels should have shown us, like Anakin and Obi-Wan being buds, or Anakin taking little, subtle baby steps towards the Dark Side (as opposed to genocide and COLD-BLOODED CHILD MURDER), while still being a fun space adventure. Importantly, stuff like the Mortis arc and Master Yoda's arc from the end of season 6 helped put the magic back in Star Wars.

I wonder how many of our posters will go AWOL while patiently waiting their turn.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #777 – July 08, 2014, 10:12:40 AM I have contacted all our writers in some way to let them know about the notifications. We should be ok.However...IMPORTANTThere are two places where you all change your notification preferences. First the forum notifications at the account settings and secondly, you restore your notifications for Personal Messages in that separate preferences menu that you can access when checking your PMs. Best,Lucan

Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #779 – July 10, 2014, 03:22:26 PM Unlike Lucan, I had a strict "no roleplay" ban enforced on my vacation lol. However I'm back (and in one piece) so I will be trying to post tonight. If anyone has any pending replies they need from me (already saw your post, Searcher :D ), just shoot me a forum pm. Dunno if/when I'll be on the chat today, and frankly pm's are better for me for planning and such.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #780 – July 11, 2014, 05:17:45 AM Apologies to everyone I'm currently in a scene with. I have a family reunion all weekend, so I likely won't be able to reply frequently. I'll try to have something up soon but it's all up in the air right now.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #781 – July 11, 2014, 06:25:16 PM I'll be out this weekend as I'm helping out at a festival. Will get back to posting on Monday I think. Sorry for those who are still waiting for a reply from me :<
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #782 – July 11, 2014, 06:38:15 PM C'mon guys! It's summer, we have to enjoy it while we can!!! Go, have fun and we'll be around when you get back - unless we're out partying too hehehe.I've been running around like a blue-arsed fly the last couple of weeks, job hunting mostly but the odd pony-shaped distraction appears too I've had two interviews this week alone, it's mad I tell you! I am flying on and posting when I can, the rest of the time I am thinking about what to say when I reply so I can streamline the whole process a bit. So yeah, what I'm getting at is that I've been pretty busy too so I apologise for delays but I will get back to you all as soon as I can Much love xxx
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #783 – July 12, 2014, 02:29:28 AM I'd like to apologize to the group for my lack of activity and generally poor response times. I'm sure it's created some frustration and perhaps hurt feelings, and most unfortunate of all, left you all with the impression I don't care about you as writing partners or the game as a whole. This is not at all how I feel.The bottom line is, I stretched myself too thin with other writing projects, and to remain with this awesome group, I'm going to focus on re-prioritizing. You all are excellent writers, and I apologize sincerely for not being more considerate of you and your contributions.~Lori
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #784 – July 12, 2014, 05:36:08 AM hey sorry that i said i woudl make replies and i never got around to them I am trying to write a few right now but for sake of quality of the replies I will make no promises that i will post thm tonight. In fact I figure i will post tomorrow. sorry about that stuff came up last couple days and time got away from me again.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #785 – July 12, 2014, 02:46:34 PM Thank you for letting us know that you really like to make the Theurgy story a priority and be here more, The Counselor! I am looking forward to writing a follow-up scene between Jien Ives and Hayden O'Connor after her little brush with death down on Theta Eridani IV.Also, like I have already mentioned, it's great that you all post here to inform the Group about your whereabouts and posting plans so that the rest of us can plan out time accordingly!Please PM me if you want to make additions or changes to the spreadsheet since I will be posting an update in a day or so. Is Nathaniel Isley and Eve Jenkins a new paring, for example?Best,Lucan
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #786 – July 13, 2014, 04:34:55 AM it's certainly isley's intention lucan lol
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #787 – July 18, 2014, 02:46:04 PM Will be out a bit longer than expected. Who knew moving out would be so time consuming x.x
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #788 – July 22, 2014, 05:38:09 PM I owe everyone a huge apology, I've been MIA thanks to a nasty sinus infection. Hoping the medication will start to kill it dead and my brain will begin to function properly again very soon.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #789 – July 22, 2014, 08:33:30 PM 'S okay, Banshee. Hope you feel better!My girlfriend ended up in the E.R. last night. We sat there for like four hours, still don't know what's wrong. Abdominal pain. I'm free all day today so I'll likely get some posting done to get my mind off things. But I felt I ought to explain what happened.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #790 – July 22, 2014, 09:04:33 PM Ouch, hope you feel better soon Banshee. Leonal, abdominal pain is quite vague to diagnose directly. Hope the test results show something more and I hope your girlfriend will feel better soon.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #791 – July 23, 2014, 02:54:20 AM They think it's her appendix. She's having surgery in the morning.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #792 – July 25, 2014, 06:17:39 AM So yeah, her appendix nearly exploded and killed her, but after the surgery she is 100% fine. :D I hope to resume posting tomorrow.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #793 – July 25, 2014, 05:35:28 PM Hehe, nasty things when they get inflamed. Nothing some small surgery and antibiotics can fix though
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #794 – July 26, 2014, 02:09:39 AM Yeah. Mostly I'm pissed at the E.R. for letting her writhe in pain for three and a half hours.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #795 – August 02, 2014, 04:50:22 AM Hey folks.I'm finding myself in a bit of a funk these last two weeks or so and I can't seem to be able to write much of anything worth reading. I try, but it's just not coming to me.As such, I apologize for my lack of activity and hopefully my funk will pass soon.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #796 – August 06, 2014, 03:24:00 AM As the great Red Green once said, "I'm pulling for ya. We're all in this together."
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #797 – August 06, 2014, 04:47:24 AM Speaking of posting, I'll try and get my responses up soon - it's been busy at work with people leaving the company or on vacation. The joys of doing the work of 4 people above my pay grade

Maya Open! Since many are still writing their first meetings, and just about two months have gone by doing that, I reckon we need to cut the third meeting otherwise we will be writing the Festival of the Moon until Christmas. We might all pick up some speed now come August, but the story must go on in order to open up for more character and plot development. Therefore please PM or post here what you would like to do about the third and second meetings!Crew Manifest PolishSome of you might already have noticed, but I have made a slight improvement (I hope) to our Crew Manifest. I basically just polished the graphics so that they turned out more shiny, but I also made the department bars a bit longer (same width as the images when you click "spoiler show"). Please let me know here or over PM if everything looks ok or if I have mucked up something for you guys. I realise that one's monitor size and screen resolution comes into play, but if the majority of you think the Crew Manifest is too wide now, I will make amends. Upcoming ChapterWant to know what happens next?Now (Chapter 02): The Festival of the Moon.Chapter 03: Next morning. Sarresh Morali is awakened. A Senior Staff meeting is held on the Theurgy with Vasser and T'Rena present. This meeting entails a battle plan for the next engagement with the Calamity and the course they take to thwart the enemy. Much will be revealed at this point, but what is more important is that this Chapter will, after some brief build-up, also drive a sharp wedge into the alliance between the Theurgy and the Harbinger... at the cost of many lives. This is just a brief heads-up, since extensive plans have been made with different parts of the Group for the continued story in this Episode.Sneak PeakFinally, we have a potential new member incoming, and I just finished a character image for him. So here is your sneak peak: http://auctor-lucan.deviantart.com/art/Sean-O-Pry-Character-474186976Best Regards,Auctor LucanGame Moderator
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #799 – August 09, 2014, 11:52:56 PM Hey everyone,Sitting in Mc Donalds on their Wifi letting everyone know our internet got fried in a lightning storm and I will be out until we get it back on. It shouldn't be too long but I did want to let everyone know what was going on.
