Check In/Check Out

Tomorrow and the day after that I shall be gone from my computer, so see you in three days time!

Have a good mini vacation!

Come back soon!

I'm back. No vaccation though, but a lousy trip with rain, late trains, waiting in the autumn rain and wind for like +30 minutes and so on. But now I'm back and ready to play!

Son has pneumonia. I'll be absent.

That sucks, bro. Take care of that kid. Positive vibes until he gets better.

Back in on this.

How's your kid doing?

Christ, sorry you had to deal with that Heath.

Back and about to start posting again.

I just want to say that I will have some sporadic access to internet and my books during this week. If I would get secure access before the end of this week, I'll let you know. So please feel free to NPC Bleda to keep the game moving.

I'm back. Honest.

Sorry guys. Was laid low as I mentioned on LINE. This month has been pretty shit. I am unable to call in for a few months without risking my job, so If I can work I should be able to post.

Just maybe not as on top of things as usual for a few days.

No worries, man. Take care of yourself. Hopefully that walking pneumonia bullshit goes away soon.


All right, guys. Heading up to Fresno today for Thanksgiving. I am bringing my laptop, but I can't say how many updates I will be able to get in. I hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday - Americans and non-Americans alike. Cheers.

Also heading out of town today until Sunday for the holiday. Bringing my laptop but we'll see how much time I have for updates.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Hi all. I'm heading to Europe for quite some time (between 16/12 to 17/1). I'm hoping that I'll have internet connection frequently enough to keep a semi regular posting and updating for anything I'm a part of. Obviously, I can't guarantee anything, and mostly dependent on where I'm staying.

There is a very high chance of me posting over the Christmas week.

I will most likely be unable to post between 6th and 13th of Jan.

Thanks for the heads up, Theo. That sounds wonderful; enjoy your trip!

And tomorrow I will be travelling so probably no posts from me that day.

And now I'm back and ready to post.

I'm sure many of you are in much the same situation, but I am officially entering the usual holiday madness right now. From now until Christmas, things are going to be hectic as I run around and try to make time for my own family as well as my girlfriend's and help my folks prepare for a party.

Things (should) calm down for me following Christmas, but we'll see, might need a day or two to catch up on personal shit.

TLDR; I'll be pretty busy and might be AWOL or not getting posts in until after Christmas.

No worries, bro. Totally understandable.

We should all expect a general slowdown over the holidays. This is always the case. I offer incentives to all my players to get posts in if they can to build PC relationships and world-depth. Incentives = rewards. haha.

But if not, that is no problem. Everyone have a wonderful holiday. I hope you are all surrounded by people you love (and some who annoy the shit out of you), have amazing meals and drinks, and make great memories.

Thank you all for partaking in this great gaming experiment and giving me a wonderful escape.

Happy holidays!

Im actually surprised the slowdown didnt start at thanksgiving time.

My phone died, Im not going to be on LINE until I can figure something out.

Drag. I just sent a map for Kanna and Arlene to LINE. Can I shoot it to you in an email?

Line does have a desktop app if you need a stop gap.

All right, all. I am at the end of my MA journey right now. I am planning on taking my final exams in about a month's time. I am really buckling down on dedicating my free time to studying; so, I might be a ghost until this is done. I will be around on LINE, however.

If I do get updates in, they will likely be on the weekends. I apologize to all my players, but I fully intend to pick things up with a furious vengeance once this is over with.

GMs, if you are waiting for an action from me, NPC me please.

Cheers, all.

Good luck man. You're gonna crush it! I will raise a toast to you when you're finished.

I will, probably and it looks like it, go travelling between the 23-25, so its possible that you won't hear from my given my normal schedule, until 27/1.

EDITED: Turns out I won't go travelling as I am sick instead so the results should be kind of the same.

Ok, I'm back now and feeling well, so I should be able to participate as usual now.

I've no data on my phone until early next week so I will not pick up anything in LINE. Message me here please.

Im doing a few updates, but will only be on phone with no internet on cpu until Monday night.

All right, all. Master's exams are finished and one has been confirmed a pass. As much as I want to just dive back in on here, I am not quite out of the woods yet.

On Friday, March 1st, I am presenting original research at a research competition; so, this week will be preparing for that. After that, however, I should be much more active on here once again.

Good luck.

Thank you!

It went very well. I am a little worried it went too well; it may sound douchey, but I legitimately do not want to move on to the next round. I need a break from academia.

With that said, I am back and in full force. I legitimately missed this site and you all - excited to get back into it.

Its that time of the month again.

And by that, I mean I will be working out of town again until monday without any wifi capacity and blocked isp on the work cpu's.

Fun fun.

I just want to apologise to everybody for not posting and not mentioning I won't post (that 'cause I thought I would be). Well, anyways, I'll try to make up for it now. Sorry again.

No worries! Welcome back!

OK guys, that time of the month again. I'm working a weekend shift out of town and wont be back untl monday.

But, theres light at the end of the tunnel. I may not be doing this job past this summer depending on what happens when Wife is done with school.

I'm going on a family holiday 7th - 14th Apr to Valencia. I won't be posting during this time although I'm sure I'll get the odd chance to check LINE.

I got very happy for a moment there because my mind went to "Valencia, California."

I am sure you mean some other Old World Valencia that doesn't matter.

Yeah sorry man.... some day perhaps.

I'm back in the saddle. I'll get everything updated across today/tomorrow.

All right, all. Tomorrow I am flying to Portland for WAWH history conference that my wife is presenting at. It is going to be awesome, but I suspect I won't be active until Sunday at the earliest.

Hey, all. Been in kind of a funk lately and my head hasn't been in posting - which is a very rare thing for me. I am starting to feel a little more normal, but please excuse the absence.

I should get things up and running again by the end of the week.

Will be out of town from August 23rd to the 27th. Probably won't have any reception or wifi from the 23rd to the 25th but I will on the 26th and 27th (will check in but probably won't be making any posts).

Rest of october will be slightly dicey for me....

I will be camping from the 18th to the 20th, and then out of town again from the 24th to the 27th. I will try to post as much as I can in the middle period there.

I'll be gone from November 3rd to the 8th. Can check in but probably can't post. Can answer stuff on LINE though if needed.

Hey all. I'm really struggling for creativity and motivation in the majority of the games I'm in, so apologies if I've been slack. I'm not going away despite sticking the post in this thread, but continued slackness is likely to be a thing while I get my mojo back so posting here seemed appropriate.

I'll post as best I can and will try and not be a roadblock.

Just a warning, I'll be absent from decenber 23rd to the 28th, gonna be out of town.

Trying to get back into the swing of things on here. Been gone from it for too long. However, I am heading back to the states for 10 days from December 22-January 2nd.

I've been really struggling for motivation to post for a while now with my post rate steadily reducing to now not checking the board every day and not chasing posts like I used to. I've tried dropping out of a few games but that hasn't helped so I think its clear I'm suffering burn out.

I need a break.

I'm going to be taking a month or two enforced exile from all the games I'm in apart from The Bastards. The reason I'm going to continue to post in that game is that its just myself and Mac at the moment so dropping from that would have a big impact.

Apologies to GM's for any extra load this causes.
