The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Nobody's posted in the RP for 3 days. Is everyone hitting writer's block or are we all busy because of Christmas coming up?

I'm waiting for Starfall to post before I do anything on Hailey's side of things.  And as for Aimee and Xanthus in Vegas, that's progressing along....slowly.

So really, I can't do as much right now in there, unless of course I just keep the thing going with Hailey and leave Neku to do....whatever :p

Starfall left me a note saying he'd left the RP for a time, so you might want to get in touch with him and see if he's still in the RP. That's why I'm not doing anything with Slash and Agito; I'm not sure either.

I'm just having a light writer's block.  I remember Serris said he's is taking a break for a while.

Serris is on break and I'm waiting for the others to post. I might just play as Roux for a time and give myself some characters to play..

Can something happen with Drake and his virtual reality machine? I just have an actual plot I want to get Shelton into, but I don't want him to disconnect until the beginning of the asylum plot, where he can see the virtual version of himself.

What happened to MrDrake? I can't keep going with Shelton until he posts a couple more times in his virtual reality subplot. I need to keep my character moving.

Also, what's going on with everyone else right now? Is the Florida harbor going to be destroyed or what?

The Florida base won't be destroyed for a while.  My commandos haven't moved out yet.  Chances are that both Florida and Texas bases will be destroyed about the same time, or Texas goes first.

All right, how big is James' group right now? Because if memory serves correctly, James has a small army of characters following him, which includes at least:

James*, Zachary*, Bailey, Alfred*, Gustave*, Shakila*, Kiara, Aisha*, Landon*, Masters, Crota, Reynolds, Hans, Werner, Stern, Aydin, Cobalt Squad, Sharon*, Wayne, Williams, Roux*

and probably more that I've forgot. I've put stars next to the only characters that are currently active characters.

One of the reasons I bring this up is because the focus  of the RP seems to have shifted to the characters in Dragonstorm. Mirumoto, Starfall, MrDrake, and myself have been primarily playing our Dragonstorm characters, and half of the people in James' team haven't spoken a line since 2010.

I think one of the reasons that James' team has slipped out of focus is that there are so many characters it takes a week to get them to do anything. If we trim the crop, we could tighten up the force and get their story moving faster.

Hell, even if we split the team in half (active characters, non-active characters,) and send the team of non-active characters to destroy a Dragonstorm base off-camera. Then they're still technically "doing something", but the active characters are unburdened by a thousand posts of "these people also do what the others are doing etc."

How about we permanently remove Werner, Hans, Reynolds and Cpl. Stern?

In my opinion, that sounds like a good option since their players are not here any more.

As for removing Dr. Williams, Cancerian Tiger plays Dr. Williams so we need to wait a bit.

Okay, I happen to like the two serpentine soldiers (Spc. Crota and Sgt. Masters) so I will keep them.
