Ok, so as you know there has been some troubles with getting this all up off the ground. Well, i just failed math, which is like a final nail in this coffin.
I need to concentrate on real life, this is my future im dealing with here. So i have no time to be running this RPG.

So unless someone else wants to take over Worlds of War, this might have to be archived or whatever.

I am extremely sorry about this everyone, and about the time wasted on this. I didn't mean for it to flop, when i started i had not much homework and no assignments due, and i was cruising along just peachy. But now everything has crashed with five hundred assignments due at once and little time to do anything let alone run my own RP.

The annoying this is holidays are coming up (relatively) soon and i bet i will probably have time to do this sort of stuff then, but for now i can't. But if i did start this up in that break everything would just flop again when i went back to school. Its a real problem.


Again i am sorry everyone, and if some else wants to take control then be my guest, you dont even have to keep with my idea, you can completely redesign it as your own. I will still probably post in the other RPGs(which dont really have a load of activity anyway), but i wont be able to run this.


:p
With regret

Well, this sucks. Is there a way we could just postpone the renovation for a few weeks to let you get back on your feet, or does this require somebody else to take over?

I could try taking over, if nobody else wishes to, but I apparently don't have too much skill at managing RP's. My own one is coming along pretty slowly. I'd rather somebody else tried, but I'd attempt myself rather than let this RP die out. It's been a long time that this's been around (it far predates my arrival here) and it shouldn't fail. Nostalgia's sake, and all.

Have some courtesy,

Have some sympathy,

And some taste.

Or I'll lay your soul to waste.

I'll take over if noone else can. Though I think it'd be a good opportunity for Copa to get his own RP going :unsure:

Sorry, not April fools unfortunately (i really completely forgot to fool anyone on april fools day, it was just my dads birthday to me [yep, he's an april fool])

So yeah, you can decide amongst yourselves what to do (weather one of you guys is going to take it over), but i can't.
Like i said rav, it would just flop again when school started up once more, and i dont want to fail maths again(cause its the only subject that really 'counts' for me, although i do need to pass all subjects, just that one especially), which means less time playing around and more time working.

I could still be an 'ideas spout', telling whoever takes over(if someone else does) what ideas i came up with, if they want, so they could take them and make them their own, or leave them, as they see fit.

But yes, again, im sorry about this, its a real bummer :(

I vote Copaman takes over, if he's at all interested, seeing as how FZM and I both have our own RPs, so Copa's really letting the staffers down here. ;)

Also, I feel we should just take a moment to congratulate Mike on also being an April Fool, and now being 17 years old. HBD, et al.
I hope I am a good enough writer that some day dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom.

I have <5 weeks to the AP exams. I don't think I'll have much time to run an RP, sorry. :(

I am totally helping out, though: we wouldn't have had an April Fool's idea if it wasn't for me :p so I am being productive!

Well, whatever. What say we put WoW on hiatus until such time as SWG is available to guide it once again?

Maybe I could take over? I'm academically doing fine, and the up-coming TAKS test isn't stressing me. Since no one seems to want to take over except mike_ and me, then I'll happily take over. No, I'm not attempting to bring this down, since my own idea seems to be on hiatus, this might be some great experience either running a RP or experimenting ideas.

We could initiate a vote, if me or Mike_ wins, the victor shall have control over the RP. SWG's idea shall go on hiatus and which ever wins shall have a good week or less, depending on you guys, to come up with a new idea to kick the RP off. The person may attempt it multiple times, but if the week or less is up, then ideas shall either be brought to the RP's attention via the second competitor, or the RPers; If an idea still cannot be decided, a hiatus shall be placed until SWG has time to regain control over himself academicly.

I'd vote for Durandel; I would like to see Mike devoting his full attention to The Footsteps of Doom.

Why does it have to be one or the other? Lots of RPs have two leaders, and if they're both up for it I don't see why a collaboration should be ruled out. Or maybe one of them and SWG, to keep the whole thing in line overall when he can, something like that.

I like the second one you stated. Maybe all 3 of them.

Or why not have three, with two serving in lieu of the tenant (SWG) until such time as he can personally take control?


Word-play FTW ;)

From 'What happens now?' topic:

It might be put on hold for a while before we get someone to manage it.
I think what we need are as follows:
- Summary of general plot from SWG
- A format for archiving

If I have both of above, I might try to manage this one for a while.
I will check the forum in one or two days interval (as my real-life work permits).
What do you guys think?


I think we can get behind Casojin running this. As one of the old crowd, I'm pretty sure you understand what an RP needs to succeed, and you know WoW well enough to make it work. If SWG's alright with it, I'll support your candidacy.


It could be a three way ruling. It might be cool to have a large collaboration. Mike, Dur and Cas. It would share the work load out, and be cool for boucing ideas off each other.

(I would say Mike, Dur, Cas and me, but that seems a bit excessive just to try and keep me included, which isn't really necessary when i can just tell them all what my ideas were and then they can decide what to do with them. Which i could do without the title of 'co-leader')

So, is three the lucky number? (coincidentally, it would be the third 'take over' of Worlds of War if it goes ahead)

Well, I've got a sort of 'prologue' I'd like to post up whenever (the early days of the HMS Flags Flying and her men fighting in one of the last great Wars of the Confederacy (have some badass things to bring to the these playing fields) ;)

Just let me know when to let loose the hounds of war.

Well, regardless of what happens, this RP has my best wishes. Good luck, SWG.

Alright, I'm glad some people have expressed interest in running this. I'll RP no matter who is in charge, so I'll stay out of this difficult decision-making. ;)

Having 3 RP managers is quite a good idea since it will ease time restriction matter.
Now, what we need is a general plot that SWG want this RP to be and archiving format (for all 3 RP runners) as I stated earlier.
