I think we just have to wait for Thistle and Snizor.

Thier profiles have them not logged in for at least two weeks.

Give them another day, then continue on without?

Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY!
They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.

Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.

Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...

It's just the time of the year, some people don't get back to their regular life until next week monday. We've had delays like this before. Patience, my friends... :).

I'll email them tomorrow. Maybe that will reactivate them.

I wasn't saying that at all. I wanted to caution McPoyo against leaving people behind too quickly. Because sometimes a player just needs a few days.

I had meant NPC'ing them to the surface.

Heh, it's really not them moving fast....

What I really want to do here is find some sort of compromise. I don't like demanding a certain amount of presence each day, because that will degrade quality - and I DO demand quality of your posts. So... I'll cut you any amount of slack, but that just might mean that other players will grow impatient. My overall goal being that we move forward, while noone drops out. It's all not perfect, I know, but I haven't found another/better way of handling things.

Ok, my own private deadline is up. It's time for life-signs of those people who haven't posted over the holidays. I'll try to email them again...

True.

I meant to post for Daelric yesterday but had some unexpected delays. Have to head for class now, but will try to get a post in later today.

Yeah, I had just wanted to make it through the holidays but then a few days after New Year's I got a very nasty virus. So severe that I couldn't really eat for a few days unless heavily medicated on hydrocodone for the pain. (and me not being able to eat is highly unusual!).  So severe that the docs had to put me on anti-viral drugs.

I'm not recovered but the drugs seem to have cut the severity enough that I can function normally for the time being.

To be honest, I've been in a lot of games, and my life had gotten so busy, I'm needing to drop some of them, and was considering whether or not to stick with this one or not, but you guys seem to like me around enough.  And the characters are quite eccentric...a mech, a dwarf, a halfling, and a beguiler (who am I missing?  am I the only one over 4 feet tall?).

So I think I will stick with this one.  Now if we can only get some momentum and coherence to the plot...

Hey, you better damn well stick with this one, we spent so much time hashing out that character of yours...

Plus you said you wanted a long-running game. This one sure is, a bit too slow, but definitely long-running.
