game future + discussion

[articletwelve]

Hey guys - Larissa/ou!Wash here. As I'm sure you've noticed, things have been pretty up in the air since the last mod post. Due to a number of factors including RL stress and burnout, the current mod team is unable to facilitate a turnover, and I offered to take over the reins in order to see what interest there still is in continuing the game.

Obviously, things have slowed down, but if there's interest, I'm willing to take point on keeping things going. Alex has offered to stay on as app mod, and Hiku's good to roll out the Hypatia plot within the next few days. I would like to find at least one other mod to help keep things going, if anyone has the time for it. As we've become a smaller game, I think we could manage with fewer mods for now, and expand further if necessary in the future.

So, tl;dr, if people still want it, the game'll keep rolling out with the plot as planned and go from there. If people still interested could comment for something of a headcount that'd be awesome, as well as any questions/comments/what have you.

I'm still on board to offer myself up for backend/housekeeping type stuff; I'm willing to mod in general just to keep thing moving along, but my previous experiences with modding games in the past have taught me that I am not much of a plot spinner.

[patternprophet]

I admit I've been sticking in anticipation of the plot, so if it's starting in the next few days, great.

I can probably help out with lists and stuff, but I don't think I could do modding.

I'll stick around as a player with Delta as long as y'all want me, but I won't be able to offer anything on the admin side of things.

Hi, I have limited experience with CSS and much better experience with XML/HTML; I would be willing to check any of that kind of stuff you need rolled out, in addition to a more general "let's roll with this plot!" sentiment. It's flat-out unfair of me to offer or promise more, but I'm interested in this plot and committed to helping it happen.

If we've got to go, let's go out with a bang.

[chozobloodrites]

I'm definitely willing to offer help in any way I can, even modding help (although I've never run a game before so it would be new experience). If you want someone more experienced, I'm just as happy being support staff, app staff, whatever y'all need to keep this game going because I love it and you all way too much.

[selfmadehero]

I don't have the time to help, but I would still love to stay on board with you guys and keep the game rolling.

[whatever_it_takes]

Still interested, still willing to volunteer as a helper!

[allianceman]

I've said before that I think this game still has a lot of potential plot-wise that hasn't been tapped into, and I still stand by that. I'm also still more than happy to help out with modding if needed, since I have prior experience, or just being support, w/e is needed.

[wilywilyways]

I am all up in this game, here with Hawke and Jituss (conspirator).

I would volunteer the heck out of being a helper mod if I thought I could handle it in the long run, but if there's anything I can do besides apps/plot, drop me a line. ♥

Oh, it occurred to me that I should note that I'm not sure about my time committing abilities after this December since I will have some drastic meatspace changes I'll be adjusting to.

[autodidacticrobogirl]

I'm not sure I can in good faith offer my time for helping purposes, but I'll totally stick around for more Sing, if there's more to be had!

[autodidacticrobogirl]

oh also I have EDI. thatisajoke

[cmdr_renegade]

You're stuck with me for a while, bb.

[edgeoflucidity]

I'm definitely here for the player side, and willing to stick it out. This would be for AU Wash/Epsi and AU Rinzler.

And I'm willing to help out with mod duties. Not just backend and list maintenance but front end stuff too. Had some time to think about it, and if possible, I want to see if we can keep this game rolling. I've been here over a year and a half now. I don't want to see it die.

[sarcasticpelican]

Ill be sticking around with 479, though I don't have enough time to mod or help out sadly.

[notromanceable]

I'd like to stick around with Vega, though I'm not sure I'd have the time to really help out much.

[fadedsunshine]

oh still here with bethany too, haha.

[articletwelve]

That's fine! Housekeeping-type stuff would be great, even if it's on a limited basis. I'm most worried about the short-term, anyway; if the game is still around in December (and I hope it is!) we can deal with it then.

[articletwelve]

It should be soon! I'm coordinating with Hiku but it'll definitely be within the next few days.

And I'll let you know if we need a list mod - I'm trying to figure out right now what all we have and don't. But I'll definitely keep it in mind ♥

[articletwelve]

Anarin we will always want you. ♥

[articletwelve]

I'm hoping we won't have to go, but it looks like the turnout is enough that we'll definitely have a plot to go out with.

I'll be sure to keep you in mind for coding! I think what Carolyn set up is good to go with for now, and I have experience with it myself, but help is always good.

[articletwelve]

Awesomeee. I will definitely let you know - there's more interest than I actually thought there'd be, so I need to figure out how many people we need first. But I will put you on the list!

[articletwelve]

Awesome awesome. We would love to have you along for the ride. c:

[articletwelve]

Great, thanks! I'll let you know if we need an extra hand.

[articletwelve]

Prior experience is definitely a plus, and I remember you commented to the last post, so I'd love to hear what you've got. What's a good way to contact you - aim/plurk/smoke signals?
