'case you _inthedarknessITD Peeps missed the YG post I made this week, I'm repeating it here.

Do you want to carry on with ITD? Do you want to abandon it? If you vote for the latter I'm cool with that - so long as you don't mind me taking the concept and ficcing it at some point... *g*

I do miss RPGing in an active role, but I also know that my own schedule is so fun-tastic that scheduling anything quickly becomes a nightmare. (Plus, with ITD there's the problem with the joint owners having an out-of-the-blue bust up (yup, me and Andy had an unexpected falling out which has probably been one of the causes of the ITD slow-down.))

Fact is though, [livejournal.com profile] _inthedarkness has not had an active thread or post since December. If the members want to abandon it, then so be it. I love the story, I want to go ahead with it, I am in. 100%. If the rest of you don't want to carry on? Okay. I will be upset, but I won't hold it against you. (although... if that happens, emeraldswanEmmy? Could we talk about a one-on-one tag-fic/RPG?)

I'd just... like to know.

Hi Sho - Sorry I didn't get back.

I do enjoy RPGing, and I do in particular enjoy RPGing with you and the others. I do wonder though whether this particular number has life left in it after so long.

I seem to recall that last we left it, Gunn had arrived at the camp and met up with Gwen and Oz. I think I was sort of waiting for others to join the scene like Wes or Faith or Willow or Xander, which could have allowed some more plot development. But equally I guess I could have added another comment and waited to see what happened. But anyway, I wonder know whether it's possible to resurrect it after so long. :( But if others are keen to pick it up again, I'm certainly willing to give it a go.

It looks at the moment that the game is causing such bad feeling that it would be best to let it go. Maybe we can pick it - or something else - up again a little later on, like I said I do love RPGing and particularly with the group we have right now, but the bad feeling and stress amongst us all means it's not worth it.

Like I say, maybe further down the line we can have another go at it.

Ay, it's a shame. Sorry there's all this bad-feeling and stress floating around. :( *hugs*

I'm all for a one on one . . . any time. Those are a blast and easier to tag team.

As for ITD, if there's still interest from everyone else, I'll play. The problem isn't with me not being interested. The problem's with me not being around at the same time everyone else is.

I'll send ya an email. :)

I have your emails and will reply tonight - my Moments Lost server isn't giving me access right now so I can't do anything 'till I get home.

It's looking as though this may be the end for ITD. Which is a shame in a way, but if it's going to cause bad feeling and spark of feuds then it's better to lay it to rest.

We need to talk about that other 1-on-1 we were going to do as well!

I meant to reply as well - but am extremely busy at the moment.

I really do enjoy it, and I'd love to carry it on. But I'm not sure if I'll be able to before the end of May now with the wedding. We're moving into the final two months now and I'm just snowed under with all the preparations.

As I said, I would like to carry on but I feel I'll have to leave the decision up to the rest of you, as I'm so busy in RL at the moment.

It's looking right now that the best option - the one which will hopefull yput an end to the bad feeling and awkwardness - is to call a halt to ITD.

Perhaps, at some point in the future (after May maybe?) we can all get together again and start a new game, the characters we have are so rich and we did spark each other into some amazing writing, it would be a damn shame to abandon that.

I would actually love to see what would have happened when [livejournal.com profile] _havefaith_ and [livejournal.com profile] _celticdancer_ finally met up! (Perhaps we could even tag team those guys in a one-on-one when you have more time?)

Sounds like an idea - and there was the Still Flying thing as well...

But first - le wedding *sighs thinking of all the things left to do*

With nobody responding on the Yahoo group I decided to search your journal to see if you'd mentioned anything about what you wanted to do as I knew you might not feel comfortable approaching me to talk about it. And while I was going to say I do want to continue with it, after seeing you blame me defriending you for the game stalling I have to say WTF?

How in the hell did you get to that? The game was stalling back in August, two months before I defriended you Sho. And in fact since I defriended you the only thread I can recall actually having been finished is one that only me and you were invovled. So how the hell do you arrive at the point where you're blaming me for the game stalling Sho?

As I said, I had wanted to stay in the game, but after you saying that there's no way I'm sticking around. Why should I? I had been trying to keep things civil between us and try and not let there be any bad blood, seems now that I was alone in trying to do that.

Hey, back off Andy, you've got your timeline wrong. You defriended Sho on October 22nd. ITD had stalled in July, but got going again in late September, and continued on and off till December 7th. In fact the last posts were between you and Sho.

As I read what Sho said above, it was that the falling out contributed to the stalling of ITD. That's a long way from blaming you.
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on February 20th, 2006 10:29 pm (UTC)
Andy, I am not attacking you at all. I was merely pointing out, in what I think has proven to be a justified manner, that the fact you and I stopped talking may have had an impact on the game - may have made people uncomfortable. It has definitely made me uncomfortable approaching you. And although the game was slowing down towards the end of last year, it did not stall in August. You were the one who tried to arrange a meeting to discuss it in December. How do I know this? Because I couldn't attend that meeting because my nephew was due to be born. December Andy, about six weeks after the defriending incident.

I am not blaming you for the game stalling. If you think I am then you are reading something into what I said that was never there.

If continuing in the game is going to cause bad feelings, if you are going to be upset by it and my continued involvement, then we should call it quits now. The others who have replied do want to carry on but if it's going to be like this? I don't.

And since you have banned me from responding on your own journal, here's my response to your post:

I've already responded in my own journal Andy and I don't intend to repeat it here, all I will say is this whole thing should have been handled differently, I am as much to blame for the mis-handling as anyone, but it's done now.

If you chose to villify me for something you read into what I said (which I did not intend) then that is your choice. I do find it sad that things have come to this and I do not intend to get into a mud-slinging match with you over it.
[identity profile] rileysaplank.livejournal.com on February 21st, 2006 12:28 am (UTC)
I apologise for over reacting to this Sho, but the fact that the only problem you mentioned for the game possibly slowing down was me defriending you got me very angry. So I'm sorry if I inferred anything from that that wasn't there as I really have no wish to get into a mudslinging match either.

Having said that it's obvious to me now that me defriending you is causing problems within the game, so have decided to leave anyway so that if the rest of you decide to continue then me being isn't going to be a problem.
