Action: Drive out of this game

[lawastooshort]

It's not you - it's me.

I let this get silly and directionless, partly subconsciously, because I'm bored.

Not bored of the actual intended plot which would carry on till 2019, or (not in the slightest) bored of the excellent players and characters, but - and it's taken me about 15 months to be able to admit it to myself, and this has been my way of making me do so - bored of and demotivated by no longer having the time to produce regular, quality updates that keep things focused and moving.

Recently this had none of the above, so I would prefer to stop. The only point has ever been to please myself with what I've written, and to imagine that the other people who've contributed are also pleased with it.

Many thanks and apologies to everyone who's invested time in any of my games - you've given me countless hours of enjoyment and amusement.

Spoiler: PS (click to show/hide)

I actually rolled the dice for the initial actions of a final turn, but instead of completing it decided to make some cheese - I'm going to make saag paneer this evening. In this turn, Tackov, rolling a 6, shot himself out of Hell and into Heaven. Lady Foxglove and Sylvanna, rolling a 1 and a 6 respectively, argued for a few lines about how best to operate the car and who was sluttiest, before driving it straight into the GM, rather than having a car chase. I was going to have the GM be broken as an explanation for the end. Gervedder rolled a 5, and understood. Whiz rolled a 4, and was almost perfectly auto-ed. Bukkar rolled a 2 and died again.

[Harry Baldman]

Gervedder rolled a 5, and understood.

That's the happiest ending he could have hoped for at this point, really.

Anyway, shame it had to happen this way. Hope you obtain enough time at some point in the future, though, since it was an excellent game up until the point it stopped regularly updating.

[Dwarmin]

It's really sort of fitting.

[IronyOwl]

Ah well. Hope you someday find the time to do things properly, by which I mean "taking the time you need to do things regularly and to your satisfaction," not "everybody is wearing pants and there are no goats in weird places for difficult to explain reasons."

[Xantalos]

Dying in Hell after exploding a bunch of people with a lighting fist for no discernible reason as well as being on fire is pretty much the best ending I could ask for.

[Toaster]

While I'm sad to see it go, I can understand the motivation behind it.

We salute your GMing career!  I'll certainly be interested if you ever come back to the host side of things, and we certainly hope you stick around for the player side as well; everyone wants to know how Halesey the Potato Mage will carry on, for example.

[Dwarmin]

You know, It's sort of depressing that we spent all this time and never found any parts of the holy whatchamajoo.

We're all terrible players.

So bad our God abandoned us.

Fin

[Tiruin]

We'll be there to see ya return la This was a very satisfying read all throughout however.
...You did well.

[IronyOwl]

You know, It's sort of depressing that we spent all this time and never found any parts of the holy whatchamajoo.

We're all terrible players.

So bad our God abandoned us.

Fin

But in the end, we found something even better: each other.

Wait that's terrible.

[Dermonster]

Wait this is over?

Literally none of you bastards ever died! God Damnit.

[IronyOwl]

Bukkar tried. Oh, how Bukkar tried.

[Xantalos]

Bukkar tried. Oh, how Bukkar tried.

And in the end I succeeded!
But since that turn never ran it never happened HAHAHA MY TRACK RECORD OF IRRESPONSIBLE CHARACTERS ESCAPING THEIR CONSEQUENCES STRIKES AGAIN

[lawastooshort]

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Dropping this and IRL stuff combined to make me not want to log on for a a couple of weeks.

Hopefully not GMing means I will have time to play (possibly more and/or better).
