Ladies and gentlemen of thread four,

Hey, I am sorry for the delay but I was not able to complete my post before having to go to class. Due to having to get up pretty early in the morning i wont have time to finish it before i go to bed tonight either. So, If Yume would like to post ahead of me that is totally fine. There shouldn't be any problem with that. I will be able to get a post up tomorrow though, probably around four or five Central Time. Just wanted you guys to know what was up and try not to slow things down too much.

Please skip ahead of me in thread four if you've got the chance to post. I'm bogged down with work lately. I should have something ready over the weekend when I'm off again.

Not to be a pessimist, but...

It may be time to cut our losses and end this Saga while some people are still interested enough for a potential regrouping and properly performed chapter 2.

We've been doing this Saga for over three months, and most of us have gotten... what, one, two, maybe three or four actual combat posts, if we're lucky? None of the topics is even past the second page; that means we've done less than 40 posts in 120 days (per thread) - that's less than 1 post every 3 days.

While the saga is interesting, having one person run more than three threads at once is pretty demanding, and relying on such a strict post order (without a 24 hour rule, at that) is really cutting up our rhythm.

Normally I wouldn't suggest it, but considering the last post in the saga was mine, over a week ago, it's time to consider euthanization.

I'll be honest...thread seven ground to a halt with my last post. And its kinda...annoying. Seeing the people who are in the thread posting, but ignoring the OS is kinda making me lose interest.

WHAT THE FUCK GUYS?!?!?! Don't punk out now. I want to see this shizz carry on. Yeah, maybe we should give vegeta some help by making a few people Narrators under his guidance . . . but dropping it altogether?? Hell to the no and back again. I have been enjoying my thread. Even though it has been going slow at least we are interacting and a level of group dynamics has been forming. Instead of spreading talk of giving up I feel like we need to be churrning up some ideas about how to make it go more smoothly so we can finish this thing in PROPER fashion.

All I said is that I'm losing interest. I never said end it. Unfortunately, thread seven just can't 'move on' without at least Chaos posting. His only response when I asked was 'battle'. I posted back on the 23rd. It is now the 9th of the next month. It has been two weeks. Other threads have progressed faster, but I had hoped that people could post least once a week. It will only get slower from here as the people who go to school go to school.

The problem is that low activity breeds droppers and loss of interest. Now, since you wanted to bring up ideas...why don't you start?

Kenpachi you are free to cut your losses whenever you want. Yes i am aware slow moving threads cause people to lose interest. However, regardless if people drop pr not the OS will continue until it is finished even if it drops down to one participant. So do as you wish. The OS will continue so long as there is at least one interested player. Posting time will vary.

Well, my idea is three simple things:

1. We find someone outside the OS that vegeta feels comfotable with to have access to the Narrator acount for certain threads. This person will talk to Vegeta and quickly go over what they plan to do in each of the threads. This will cut down on waiting for the Narrator.

2. We put into action a 72 hour policy. If one person does not post for this amount of time they are skipped and other participants can go ahead of them. If this happens more than three times that person is ejected from the thread . . . VIA DEATH. Those not wishing to keep up with these standards or risk death in this manner should be free to write out exitting posts as they wish.

The number of people actually participating may drop, but those willing to write at least once a week will stay and move the story along.

3. This is my personal favorite. Those feeling that they want to do more writing than the pace of their thread curently allowed should be able to take on an NPC. This character will be placed in a different thread (an active one or a completely new one). This way those who want to do up to three posts a week will be able to fullfill all their hearts desire to write write write.

These are my ideas. Take them, leave them, modify them, ignore them . . . I am just trying to be helpful in the process of creative writing.

Well, as I am actually seperated from the other members of my thread, I dont see why I should be waiting for them to post, or why the Narrator (Vegeta) should wait for them, to post a reaction on my writing. So, I'd say Osiris proposition is interesting, but I also would say that people who knew they wouldn't be able to post more than once/month shouldn't have entered.

Sorry taps for this comment, but it is simply frustrating to wait two weeks for a post coming from you, while it has not a single thing to do with the progress I am making.

Same goes for the other threads, if people know they wont post more than once a month, drop out now, because it isn't fun for those who are willing and able to sacrifice some time every week.

There's nothing to explain, Jordan, but I will put it plainly for you. Tomorrow marks three weeks with no posts after mine. While you, Zorn, and Chaos have been in a battle on a separate planet than Pefu.

Well, I can't speak for anyone but myself...and i have been replying in all threads except my own quests...zorn has been busy with real life shit, as I'm sure chaos has as well. And in this battle, if anyone dies it ends their ability to do so In the os...js

Ok i'm working on updating the OS threads and I guess I will not be so lenient with the posting anymore due to certain things.

  • Theard 4: Talia, Max, and Luna(Your new character). Dabura posted on the 26th of August. I need to know if you three still want to continue in the thread or if I need to move on with only Dabura.
  • Thread 5: Cell, Jared, and Karas. It has been nearly a month since I posted in that thread. What's going on?
  • To all other Threads: Things will be picking up. Posting order isn't important. However, each participant should post once then wait for the Narrator and then repeat the process after the Narrator's post. You do not have to wait for the person ahead of you to post unless you want to.
