@ Jon- I'm looking forward to UtPBS2! Although, if Wren says/does something kind of out of place at any point in time, then I apologize in advance since I don't know much of anything that happened after I left the original, other than what you said in the first post. >> Also, as soon as I'm done with this post, I'm going to get started on posting in the Pokemon RP again. Not sure if you want me to start Adele's little excursion in the museum just yet, so I'll try to leave it somewhat vague as to when she left the group to go on her own, just in case you had wanted to do something while she was still with them. @ Ray- Alright then, I'll just say your character left the crew or something after the mission. Thanks for letting me know. @ Massacre Town- Overcome your post? What do you mean by overcome? You can't really "overcome" a post, it's not like it's a contest or something. XD But I do understand that the RP has been inactive, I plan to post in it either tonight or on Sunday, after I get to the Pokemon RP. @ Calling of the Seas Members- I'm going to try to post again in the RP tonight if I have enough time for it; it might be a bit on the long side since I'll be ending this arc and heading into the next one. If I don't post tonight, then it'll definitely be there by sometime Sunday since I won't have the time to post tomorrow.  |

@Toyumi - It's your call. There's not a big reason to hang around the museum since I'm not sure how much dialog Haseo has to fill time with. Pretty much everything in the first post of UtPBS2 is all that happened. I wouldn't worry too much about saying something out of character. @Massacre Town - I'm pretty sure it's because of the start of the school season. I had intended for UtPBS2 to start earlier but a messed up work schedule had me getting called in two or three days in a row that I was going to use for getting ready. I linked some of the character profiles to the first post last night, so once I'm done linking the rest then I just have to get a good opening post finished up. The issue I was waiting on seems to be pretty much closed now, so everything should be alright to proceed.    |

@Toyumi: Well, I mean my post was of a pretty long and complicated monologue, some people might've seen it and said something like "The hell, I won't read that!" :) @Jon: Ah, yes, school... though I still don't see how it affects anything, there's ALWAYS an hour or two to do the posts at the evening. |

@Jon: I'll get to posting in your pokemon rp later on this weekend, once I finish up some school-work. As for UtPBS, I'm sad to say that I will not be joining. I'm kind of swamped with a bunch of AP work, as well as running around taking care of business for a club on campus that I belong to, since I'm the manager and whatnot. @Massacre: No offense, but I don't think you should be passing judgment on those that can't post because of school. It's quite shallow to be honest. You don't know what goes on in people's lives; I for one, am busy with 5 AP classes (which is the highest level of class you can take in American high school), and running a club on campus like I said above to Jon. It's not your place to say what others can and can't do. Sure, maybe they do have an hour or two to post after they finish their homework each night, but do you really expect them to be in the mood to post after having a stressful day? I don't know about you, but I, as well as most of the other rpers here, would rather have a smaller number quality posts, instead of a larger number of crappy posts. Plus, a lot of the rpers here are not only students, but also have jobs, which eat up even more time, so please, don't act like you're on a high horse and criticize others' busy lives, unless you plan to take on all the tasks and burdens that they have as well. I highly doubt you could do what we all go through and have enough energy or feel like making a post every night just like the rest of us. EDIT @Massacre: First off, you read into a nonexistent aggression; you may interpret my words the way you choose, but it's not my fault if you interpret them wrongly. I meant you no offense, and you have my apologies since you seemed to have taken it. The entire point of my post was to say that there isn't always time. I can't speak for others when I say this, but things can come up, things more important than gendou, which means posts will have to take a backseat. I don't think making a post on gendou ranks high among the priorities of others, when real world events are what comes first. This is all a hobby to us, most of us won't continue to rp once we start to age more and find a place in society or a family. And if you don't care about someone's school or work schedule, then why make that the pivotal point of your argument? It begs the question. Besides, have you seen the rp creators incessantly complaining about a lack of posts? No, they haven't been. If they were, then maybe I would have given your post more merit. However, the rp creators are fine with it to the point that they're willing to wait. If it was such a big deal, the rp creator would just move on and not deal with it. All in all, I did not add anything to your words--I took them as they were posted. The only judgment I passed was that it isn't your place to say that others are always able to post--which still stands--please take other's actual lives into question before you dictate their ability to post. You may interpret this post as you wish, but if you get to this sentence and you've read any aggression, contempt, or anger, please reread it again, as your initial interpretation is wrong. If you wish to continue this then by all means, send me a pm. I do not want to clog up this thread with petty arguments. Also, you broke the 2-post rule.

@Haseo: Sure, I know that people can be busy. But first of all, I don't see how something I said could aggravate you, so please don't get offensive without a reason. And second, as I said, there's ALWAYS energy and time to post. You can plan your post while walking or riding to that school and posting it will only take a short time. I never said you should ignore your life and make some time for RPs, but there are countless ways to do so without having to. I have a job myself and that doesn't stop me much. And well, I don't know your circumstances, nor do I care, but that doesn't mean YOU can get on a high horse and try to shame me, especially by adding a new context to my speech. |

@ Massacre Town & Haseo- Both of you are in the wrong so knock both of your "high horse" statements off. Haseo, you didn't have to tell Massarce Town how difficult balancing school and RPing is in such a manner, whether it was meant to be agressive or arrogant or whatever. Massacre, you didn't have to continue the conversation by trying to prove your point, as well as the fact that you were being inconsiderate for not caring what his circumstances were. The first step to understanding the fact that not everyone can post on a daily basis is by being open to the idea. Where both Haseo and I live, you can't make an actual post while going to school or whatever unless you have a smart phone (Or something of the like such as a tablet, etc.) and a data plan, of which Haseo and myself don't have. And speaking solely based on my own experience, last year I had to totally drop 2 RP's because of the classes I was in, so you could at least appreciate the effort that others put in to stick with RP's, including the fact that they won't be able to post on a daily basis. This not only applies to RPer's who are students, but to RPer's who are busy because of work or anything else for that matter. I would appreciate it if both of you would end this little squabble, not only here but in PM's as well if there were any on the matter like Haseo had mentioned in his edit. I honestly find it completely unnecessary and inappropriate, when you could instead focus your time and energy on other things. I for one was going to begin my next post in Calling of the Seas, but now that can't happen since I had to concentrate the little time I had on the computer today by telling the both of you to stop this disagreement. @ Jon- As you can see, I took your advice and had Adele leave the group in my last post, even though it was overemotional; but I wanted to get the point across that she was a wreck over the situation. XD I'll also try to get around to UtPBS2 either tomorrow or Monday, depending on how long the post I have to make in Calling of the Seas will take me. @ Roxas- Snake has posted in Calling of the Seas somewhat recently (His last post there was 6 days ago). |

@Toyumi - I think you went about it pretty well personally. I liked it, lots of drama. I've set it up in my last post so that Adele doesn't have to return to Professor Sepal in order to head into the restricted area. I had the evolution stone thing go ahead a bit earlier than I had planned, so I'm going to find something else to fill time with until you have her head back there. I also need to talk with Haseo at some point soon about how Parker is going to get near the Musuem to catch Cranidos (or how I will have Cranidos get to Parker). @Haseo - Sorry to hear that, but I understand. As long as you can stick with the Pokemon RP, then I'm good. @Massacre Town - It's just one of the patterns in activity here, especially in the Gendou City section. The beginning of summer vacation is another point in the year when people seem to disappear from the site. Personally, if it's an especially significant post, I can sometimes take upwards of 3 hours typing and proofing. I was on the opening post for UtPBS2 today for about 3 hours (although I got distracted quite a bit by stuff on TV >.>). |

@Toyumi: Yeah, I know. But when someone gets agressive on me, I prefer to respond somehow. Don't worry, there's no arguing in PM. But I still stand by my point. I wouldn't go as far as to say "If you have no time - don't join the RP", because I know there are some people like Destiny here and don't want to deny their right to RP, but if you did - find some. I never said anything about daily, but there is no way someone doesn't have a half an hour free for the whole week. @Jon: If I need to make a long post, I create a text file and update it slowly, if there's no time to make a full one. I don't do this often though for a simple post, but almost always for a character profile or when I start an RP. Might help. There's no real rush, after all. |

I have not been online for awhile.. I'm surprise to see this little drama here.. Aside from that.. I apologize for not being online or being part of any rp. I've been feeling ill as of late plus with college and work. I don't particular have much time to post or be on Gendou that much lately.  |

Finally, the Internet is back. Anyways, just want to say that my post count for UtPBS 2, CotS and Eden might be decreasing even more, as my second semester will be wrapping up soon (November is the final exam month, and then December will be the semester break, where I'll have lots of time to catch up on everything, including some AxS works) and plus those annoying assignments/end of chapters/practical tests and the gang will be creeping up soon. Plus with my not-so-smart (and sometimes not-so-hardworking) group members meaning I have to take the works mostly by myself :x   |

So... due to the server malfunctioning, we lost some post on the currently ongoing RPs Now that the server is fixed and back up, what do? I'm just asking, I figured maybe we could just ignore that and continue with the current condition, or sum up what was lost with the RPers memory and continue from that... Just a suggestion tho. EDIT For contact info. You guys can check on my profile, I have a twitter and facebook Anyhow, I pretty much remembers everything in UtPBS2, if need some assistance in restoring what was lost, do ask me.  |

@LD - I'll see what I can do for my two RP's, hopefully tomorrow. Pokemon: To Live and Learn - I can pretty much remember everything that happened, so I'll do a short summary post next and the last few lines of my last post, then we'll take it from there. I'll do my best to get on that tomorrow. Under the Pale Blue Sky 2: Winds of Change - I will do a brief summary post of this as well and then let everyone get back to it. The outage got me thinking as well that I really should try and gather some contact info from some of the RP'ers here. Not sure if anyone wants mine, but I'd love to have contact with the RP'ers here (although I don't use Facebook or anything. Maybe I should set one up for just this). |

At the very least I don't want to restore those posts, as I doubt I can reproduce them. As for contact info... for now you can find me at animecharacterdatabase with the name Akikojam. @Jon: Oh yeah, I remember you had my youtube account too, but it's no longer valid - got blocked for sharing violation :( |

@Jonathon - That would be good, in case something happens again. Mine's FB and Skype, under my Gendou username. I hardly ever use Skype now, unless someone wants to contact me with it. Should I need to reproduce some of the posts, I can do so, although it would be different... EDIT: Oh, you mean getting addicted to FB. Well, I didn't have that kind of problem, since I have other commitments to do (gaming, especially PSO2 and Borderlands 2, RP, polytechnic) and not to mention some of the stuffs in FB is kinda a bit boring to me IMO (FB games and sharing useless apps? No thank you, I better off sticking to my usual stuffs). I'm using it mainly for socializing. |

@Emiya - Yeah, I have Skype as well but I almost never use it either. I've always been hesitant about getting a FB account because of the horror stories I've heard about using the thing and how difficult it is to get yourself out once you have an account. I'm just thinking that I would like to stay in contact with some of the users from this site in the event that it goes down for good (or even just to talk to people about everyday stuff). I guess I will probably have to get a FB account if I want to do that, since I'm pretty sure that most of the people here only deal with that outside of Gendou (I just happen to be a stick-in-the-mud about that stuff). And no, I wouldn't bother trying to reproduce your posts. A short summary should be fine for getting back on track. Most people still remember what was happening in RP's as of last week (which is to say, not a lot), so I think the summary should be fine. @Massacre Town - Yeah, I did. I don't really do anything with Youtube anymore anyway. I just check the weekly update email on my subscriptions and that's it. Where else have I heard that username? I'm positive I've seen Akikojam somewhere around the net (it was probably that old Youtube account I guess). I'll keep that in mind though. I've been to the character database from time to time, but never around the forums. Alright, I've got summaries up for UtPBS2 and Pokemon, so whomever posts next can just take it from there. There wasn't a whole lot going on in either of them that needs a length explanation. |

== ok I could not log on for an entire week thanks to the server problem and the UTPWS posts nearly escaped from me. @John - Meh, it all depends. I quit Facebook a while back and only occasionally log in. But I admit, having additional contact info is a good idea. I don't use Twiter or Skype either (yes, I know it sounds antisocial but I just do not have the time to handle it) so all I can offer is my email: roxas678@hotmail.com or if anyone here uses garena messenger they can find me there as well. |

Like what everyone else said, the server failure really screwed me up with RP stuff as well. >> Anyway, I'll probably post first in CotS as soon as possible, meaning most likely sometime tomorrow. I was planning on posting Wednesday or something like that and with the server failure I never got around to it. @ Jon- I have Facebook, Skype and email accounts that I use frequently, so just PM me for any of that information. Although, would you be making your Facebook a personal one or a Gendou-only one? Mine's a personal one, and I wouldn't want to add a Gendou-related Facebook there for a few personal reasons. >> And like what Emiya said about Facebook in his edit, I also use Facebook for mostly socializing As for posting again in the Pokemon RP, I'll try to get to that as soon as possible since Adele's kind of the center of attention right now, so like I said with CotS, expect a post from me hopefully tomorrow. Although, I might take a bit longer with UtPBS2, I didn't even get the chance to read some of the posts before the server failure, and now with that I'm just a bit confused. I need to get around to reading the other posts made there after the failure now, so my posting there will probably take some more time. |

@Toyumi - To tell the truth, I really don't want to actually get into FB. If I did, it would be more out of being forced to as oppose to wanting to. If I do end up with one, it would likely be a personal one, since it would be inevitable that my various family members would want to link to me (and they would find it eventually even if I don't mention it, since FB is evil like that). Email would be fine by me. I'm not a super talkative person, and I mainly just want a way to contact friends from Gendou in the event that the site goes down for good, or otherwise for an extended period of time. I just don't like that idea of losing contact with everyone I know well from this site and not having a way to get back in contact with them. And I didn't say a thing about games or apps or stuff. That's not something I would bother with either. Anyway, as for UtPBS2, there isn't much to really go through at the moment in terms of catching up. As I said in my post, the only thing that really happened since last week was idle talk between characters. Now there's a battle scene going on that I didn't plan for, so that's about it. I didn't go over any vital details in the post that was lost in the server failure. For Pokemon, there's no big rush. I would say that Haseo has a little bit bigger of a role at the moment since Parker is the one that's going to catch Cranidos. After he does that, I'm probably going to advance the day so that we can move on with other stuff. Right now it's just a matter of what we are going to do first. I think it would be better to do the Gym challenge before I start anything with Team Vanguard, since the Team Vanguard thing may end up starting a chain of events that takes the group away from Zephyranth without any preparation time. @Roxas - I don't really consider it antisocial myself. I just think of Twitter and FB as something to avoid if at all possible. In Twitter's case, it's usually because you end up putting your foot in your mouth by tweeting something that you really shouldn't have. In FB's case, it's mostly because FB creeps me out with the info collecting it does and I'm not fond of the idea that people I might not want contact with can track me down (that just kicks off a whole thing where people end up bugging you as to why you haven't added them on FB). |

@Jonathon - Ah I see, privacy issues >_> Yeah, I got to admit, my cover was blown once people started tagging me when they post a picture with me on it @_@ And I have to be super careful with what I post in FB... Should you be needing my e-mail, just PM me. *is afraid of spambots* As for UtPBS 2, I'm waiting for more RPers to post. If not, I might proceed with a stunt. As for CotS, erk, I actually forgotten about it >.> (Needs more inspiration OTL) I'll come around with a simple post etc. |
