OOC>>> Time out everyone... first off, thanks to all for your concern [img]smile.gif[/img] Now, to serious business...*cough**cough*
When I first set up this thread, my intention was to create a world in which anyone interested could roleplay in and more importantly, for the members to
engage in wholesome, companionable fun. In this spirit, I let things run freely, hoping that things would somehow just work out by themselves. This was on the assumption that
all members were sporting, accommodating and logical.
Well, so far I think we've done a pretty good job so far, considering the multitude of personalities, talent and roleplaying styles we have here. The situation, however, has changed somewhat now and I think we may be in danger of losing certain players due to the varied differences.
Let me state upfront that
I do not want anyone to leave. As most of you would have guessed by now, I hate unpleasantness as much as Sorsha does (probably more [img]tongue.gif[/img] ).
If I could, I'd tie you all to this thread so you couldn't leave
Either that, or [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img] and fall on my knees to beg you to stay.
But that would be pointless if any of you truly disliked being in this story, for whatever reasons.
So rather than let our story continue to swing erratically one way or another, I think it will be better to have
a more experienced DM in the story. Now, I know some of you will not like being told that you can't do this, or you can't do that. And so very likely, you'll abandon this thread in a huff
All I can say is that to my best knowledge, the DM I am appointing will be able to do a better job than myself.
If, in the event, the DM makes a decision which totally [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img] any member off and
no win-win situation can be achieved, then I will either (1) stand by the DM because I agree with the call or (2)ask the moderators to close the thread because I do not want to witness actions taken that I am not agreeable to.
I want to reiterate that that I hope everyone will be able to get along together despite our differences, but if these cannot be resolved and members leave, it will be our great loss [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img] if you leave.
Having said this, I want to give everyone a [img]graemlins/bighug.gif[/img] and thank you all for your participation thus far. Really hope this thread continues to develop into an epic story that is fun to be involved in [img]smile.gif[/img]
That's all for now [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img] Phew.
