@Massacre Town - If you are waiting on someone who hasn't posted in quite a while then my advice is to just continue without them. There's no telling when they are going to post and as I stated in my new RP: "Waiting for posts that never come is one of the reasons that everything slows to a halt". Besides, your kind of missing out on all the action if you wait around on someone else for too long. Also, that's the only real problem I have with a limited cast. No matter what time of the day I post an RP it will be filled out before all the usual RP'ers get a chance to see it. I hate turning people away, but unfortunately there are some RP's that simply do not work well with a large cast. Knights for the Night is a Sailor Moon/Super Sentai kind of deal, which means that most battles will involve everyone's character fighting the same enemy (or fighting a bunch of mook enemies with the goal of reaching and beating the boss baddie), so it doesn't work that well with a large cast. Now if you want, I can give you the opportunity to join if someone drops out or gets kicked out for inactivity.    |

@ Jon- Yes, too hooked on it for my own good probably. I actually haven't been following it since the beginning, I got into it earlier in the year (It started in 2009), but I became distracted by it during finals and spent basically my entire summer trying to catch up (I passed all my finals so it turned out alright in the end). XD Also, as a heads up, I'm going to be really busy these next couple of days, so I probably won't get to finishing my profile and posting in the Pokemon RP until probably this Sunday (I'm almost done with the profile, so that's not too big of a concern I suppose >>). It's convenient that the topic of waiting on people to post was brought up actually, lately I've been thinking about getting back into UtPBS2 in a way that my character won't be dependent upon Fenris to post. I'm still trying to come up with something for that though, so if you have any ideas then that would be helpful. @ Aoi- I saw your post for your RP, but like I said to Jon I'm kind of busy now so I won't be able to post in it until later this week or early next week. @ Sayuri- Hey! I see that you joined some RP's (Even though I'm not a part of any of them XD). It's nice to see you around again!  |

@Sayuri - Welcome back. I hope to see you joining in on a few of the RP's. @Toyumi - That's no problem. I honestly don't expect a lot of RP related stuff to get done until the end of next week (what with Christmas coming and going). I made my first post in KftN, but I won't be moving anything ahead until every member gets to make their first post, so don't feel like you have to rush it. Your profile for KftN looks fine by the way. I'm guessing the only thing you need to finish is that 1 ability. As for Pokemon, that one is always slow, so there's no difference there. I'll think about the UtPBS2 thing. I shouldn't have much trouble coming up with something if you have seen my latest post. It should be pretty easy actually since there will soon be a place where you can essentially leave Fenris' character that still keeps him relatively close by in case he ever wants to start taking part again. I didn't mention any names in my latest post, but they aren't new characters, so it might be an easy guess as to who they are. |

Merry Christmas everyone! I already informed Mistress so now I'm informing John too, my pc's motherboard is fried and in for repairs. As such, I have no way to post anything for 1 week already and now probably until this Friday I will be unable to post much. @John - I already posted in UTPBS recently so all my character can do is cause havoc in the monster. I'm dependent on you to move the story so that I can post again! I'm currently in the family home in Kyoto dodging relatives (the old farts are trying to have me engaged to one of my cousins). my mom being little to no use pretty much declared open season on me as she wants to see grandbabies *shiver* Well that is all I guess guys, just let me know how has your Christmas been.    |

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone. Just letting everyone know that I will hardly be online starting December 26th to January. I will be away on Vacation on a trip. I will try my best to be online as often as I could, but chances are slim. @Roxas; I am sorry to hear that. I hope you able to solve the situations and have it in your favor.  |

@Roxas - Well my latest post actually attempted something on your character, so you could have done something if you wanted. The battle with the monster is wrapping up now as I'm bringing back the Orphans of Avira group. Anyway, good luck with that situation thing. I'd rather not hear anything about that topic from family members personally, since that's a pretty touchy subject with me. >.> Edit: @Toyumi - I'm mostly waiting around as well in the RP's I'm part of. With Pokemon however, I think I'll have to go back and edit my post so that the group arrives in Aster now that I think about it. I said I was going to do an event on the ship, but I've pretty much changed my mind now since Zephyranth was pretty event heavy. That means that, like you said, there isn't a lot to do besides explore the ship. I think I will go back and edit it so that we just move along. As for UtPBS2, it's up to you. You already joined in on my other RP and you're still taking part in Pokemon, so maybe you should leave a bit of room open in case you feel like joining something else or freeing up more time. You do bring up a good point about your character being absent for about half of UtPBS, although I still don't think you would have any problem getting back into the RP if you wanted to. I'll leave it up to you to decide in the end though. -------------------------------------------------Updates------------------------------------------------- The holidays have passed for the most part, so I'll get back to monitoring the RP's again, even though it will still probably be a while before any of them get back to moving ahead. I have to admit that it wasn't as slow as I was expecting during the holidays. Under the Pale Blue Sky 2: Winds of Change - The battle is wrapping up now, just to let everyone who is left know. The Orphans of Avira are being brought back in because we kind of need a method of transportation. Other than that, there isn't much else to say. There are still about 5 people left in the RP, which is an okay number, so for now the RP is still active. Pokemon: To Live and Learn - Business as usual here too. The group is on their way to Aster City, although I think I'm having second thoughts about the event I was going to do. After taking a look at the map again, it makes a bit more sense for me to wait until later to start it. Haven't decided just yet, but I will make up my mind by the next post. Knights for the Night - The opening battle is still going on for now, but as I said in the RP itself, I will have to wrap it up at some point soon. I'm going to drag it out for a little longer for now, mainly because we're just getting out of the holiday season and I realize that people are still gone for a while. I also want to commend everyone on their characters. I think they all turned out really well and the Knight forms are better matches than I expected. |

@ Jon- Honestly I was surprised that I wasn't as busy as I thought I would be during the holidays as well. XD Anyway, I'm just kind of waiting around in Knights and Pokemon for now, I don't think I have to post there at the moment (I don't have much for Adele to do other than explore the ship like everyone else seems to be doing so it would make for a short-ish post >>). Also, continuing on what you said about UtPBS2 before, in all honesty I'm just not sure whether to stick with the RP. Don't get me wrong, I really like it and I want to join back in it, but dropping it for awhile and then coming back into it is just kind of weird for me. I don't really know how to have my character act/etc. because I didn't keep up with the first part after I dropped it and I don't know anything that happened then (I did sort of speed-read the first part and read the summary on the first post, but it seems as though I missed much more than that? I don't know how to explain it). Plus it kind of seems like everyone is taking the general scene that you started and just applying it to their own characters and not really having their characters interact with other player's characters, so in my opinion it's definitely more difficult to come back in with that, especially since I only have Wren and I'm not planning on making another character for the RP. So long story short, I'm really not sure whether to stay in UtPBS2 or not. I haven't posted there in awhile anyway so everyone probably thinks I already left it. XD Like I said to Jon, I'm pretty much just waiting around in the RP's I'm in until I can post again. It kind of stinks since I'm having an art block right now so I can't make GFX or anything to pass my time. It's like my life is telling me to use this time to finish anime that I've been putting aside for awhile now. XD |

@Temp - It isn't just you. I've been hanging around for the past two weeks and I don't think I've made a post in any of the 4 RP's I'm part of. I made one in Pokemon on the 5th, but that was just a transition post. The only RP I've seen with any activity since December is Time Forgets. It's a shame too, since I've had quite a few days off of work over the past few weeks and would have loved something to keep me moderately occupied. Anyway, Pokemon has moved forward slightly, so I may make another post in that next to keep the wheels spinning. Edit: @Toyumi - Like I said, it's your call. As far as I'm concerned, I wouldn't want you in it as an obligation either. You should enjoy the RP's you are a part of, not take part just because you feel like you have to. That takes the fun away. As for Pokemon, it seems that I ended up posting ahead of you, but when you make your post I will change anything in mine that might interfere with yours. I didn't expect you to be around tonight, so I made a post to try and keep the momentum going. |

@ Temp- Maybe everyone's just busy in real life? I know that I have midterms and finals coming up soon and I've been busy with preparing for them, some people might be having theirs soon as well. Or they might be going back to college/university now that winter break has ended for some people. @ Jon- I actually plan on posting in Pokemon tonight, since this is the first time in awhile that I haven't had too much homework. Sorry for my inactivity there this past week, I have finals and midterms coming up so things have been a bit hectic lately (Especially in my least favorite subject of the year and possibly all of high school, Physics >>). As for UtPBS2, I think I'll drop it. Personally I've just been less into RPing as time goes on, and I don't think the iffy feeling I have about staying in it will go away soon. It was good while I was in it, both this one and the previous one, but I don't want to keep it as an obligation if I don't feel up for it, sorry. :/ |

I was planning to return to UtPBS2. Even though I got stuck with that battle, I'll just make it so explosion one of my character made thrown confused everyone and my characters are now lost, trying to find a way. But need to think it through. |

@ Jon- I'll try to post in Pokemon today, but I'm going to wait a bit more before posting in Knights (Like what you said I'm kind of waiting around for more people to post there). Also, as a heads up I'll probably be busy for the next week or two, it's the end of the semester and I have finals/midterms coming up soon (Plus an essay to do in English on a book I didn't read >>). [Edit] @ Jon- Sorry I didn't post in the Pokemon RP earlier, and it looks like it'll have to wait until Friday/the weekend for now. A couple of personal things came up suddenly and I totally forgot about posting there. >> |

I had to delete my last post and make this one since I really need to find out what's going on with KftN. It's been really dragging since December and I would like to find out if that is because of the holiday seasons/school exams period or because there is nothing for anyone to do? Basically, am I just waiting on everyone else or is everyone else waiting around on me for something to do? If members of the RP are not sure what to do or do not have much material to go on at the moment then I can change my plans and wrap the battle up right away to get the plot moving again. @Toyumi - It's no problem. Like I said before, I can rely on you, Fenris, Haseo and Shinji to keep that RP alive even though the pace is considerably slower than other RP's, so I don't mind if it takes a while to get any posts. I just did some updating on the first post for anyone that actually bothers to read that stuff. It's mostly Bio related stuff for the main characters as well as that guy Chase that I have following the trainers. @Massacre - Or you could just act as though your character was taking part in the battle that entire time and jump aboard the Anvindr with everyone else. Either way is fine with me. Like I said previously, we're kind of beyond the point of being able to wait on certain people to post. If you find that the plot is moving ahead without your character because you are waiting on someone, then the best thing to do is just ditch them and keep pace with the rest of the cast (unless you know for sure that that person is definitely going to post again). |

@Toyumi - I LOVE your new sig. Seriously it showcases the coolness of Lunatic well. But as a personal preference, I prefer my sigs to be bright (I STILL adore the Cloud Strife sig you made for me 2 years ago). - As for lack of posts recently, I already let the people in charge of the RP's know. My pc's motherboard was having problems and a special one had to be brought in. @Jon - Finally I am back in action and posting regularly again. Thanks for not kicking me out of UTPBS. I found the fact that you dropped a mini nuke on said beastie while my character was in it to be hilarious to be honest. Expect my next post to involve him attempting to strangle some of the ship's crew in retaliation. Hopefully we can make it hilarious. @Temp - I keep forgetting that you are a bit new around here. In Gendou City sometimes people can get lost (sometimes many at once!) |

@Jonathon: Sorry for bringing an empty promise for KotN. Right after the holidays, college (and other personal stuffs) starting throwing works at me. What's even worse that I have classes from morning till late evening at 6-7pm, which kinda tires me out @_@ I'll try my best to get at least a post rolling (and yes, TF is waiting on me too, I know ;3;) hopefully before or (at worst) maybe at Chinese New Year, where I'll have a one week break.   |

@Emiya - It's alright. I understand that some people don't have the time they thought they would to post, but my main concern is with the RP having completely stopped since New Year's. UtPBS2 has been returning to its usual posting rate (to my surprise honestly) but KftN has entirely stalled. Anyway, if you still want to stay in KftN then that is fine with me for now. I understand that you don't have a lot of time, but let me know if you feel like you won't be able to continue with it. Personally I would rather have you in UtPBS2 if you had to drop one of my RP's, but it's up to you of course. @Roxas - Well I was mainly operating that post on the principle that the Orphans had no idea that he was in there. I had that happen to my very first computer and it sucks. Hopefully you'll get it all fixed up soon. |

@ Roxas- Thanks! I'm glad you like my sig and the one I made you awhile back. I don't have any sort of color preference with my sigs, but personally I don't think a bright colored Lunatic sig would be fitting for him. XD @ Jon- Personally I'm just waiting around for more people to post in KftN as well. Maybe it's time to bring back participation checks to see who's still in the RP since it's been lagging so much? I don't think its an issue of lacking in things to do there, since all we have to do is basically team up and take down the big baddie of the moment; but if you want/have to end the battle then feel free to go ahead and control Rina to get done whatever need to be done. |

@Toyumi: Those are all plausible reasons. But, when I did a little creepin' and saw people posting in chat rooms and other stuff during that period of time... Well, chatting doesn't take much time as posting a reply in an RP, but you think people would have two minutes to at least tell Jon about their extended absence (sorta like what Roxas and Emiya did). Because judging from Jon's response, he was left with nothing. Sorry for the late response. @Roxas: Yeah, I've noticed lol. Anyways, I didn't write a lot for UtPBS2 in my most recent post. That's because I'd rather have everyone on the ship first before having Joe do stuff. |
