I'm really looking for specifics
In regards to BoE, I'd like to submit a vote/request for the game to actually start.
It's been a week since Mead Mix's bet. Sam said he's out, Basayen is in, and Aurora said she was out, at least in her original post prior to the amulet edit you requested. So I don't think we're waiting on anything. But altogether it's now been 12 real life days that our party has been sitting in a waiting room...waiting.
Keeping in mind especially that this two weeks of sitting in a waiting room is happening immediately after a week of the ring talking to only one of us at a time while the other two waited their turns...the end result is that very little has happened for a very long time. As of today the game has been running for a month, and pretty much all we've done is introduce ourselves. And we haven't even been able to finish that because we haven't even met half the party.
Unless I'm mistaken, this entire sequence with the ring at all is basically just for roleplaying and flavor, right? I mean...nobody's really expecting that the npcs will be chosen, right? So two weeks of sitting in a waiting room just getting to see if we're chosen to actually play the game seems excessive.
...so, yeah. Can we move it along a bit? I understand that we, the players, make the game too...roleplaying is part of the point here. But...I think the game could use a little nudge.
