| Because I do. It is, in fact, still happening. Amazing how that works.
Here's the new thread! We got shtuff to do, folks. We are SO DAMN CLOSE. Post what you think we still need to accomplish and/or address, so we can get a move-on here. I'll make the master list below, cross each out as we go, and put the answer or solution next to it:
1) When do we start? 2) What's the final format and location of the actual adventure? 3)

| We're still going, aren't we? If anything, that's a sign that it can and WILL happen! | |

| We're kind of limping. In fact does it even count if like 5 people are doing things and nobody else is? | |

| And even if we don't, there's no reason we can't have some fun with it along the way.
Yes, I realize you're probably going to deliberately misinterpret that "fun" comment. Please don't. | |

| Okay, I apologize for calling you worthless, but don't think everything will set me off (it just provokes, friend.)
Anyway Lunar is right, we can totally do this, we just need to address the issues we have.
Attendance. You guys are awful at this. Where is everyone? Its as if we were hyped during the first half and when we semi fleshed out our characters we just drifted apart. This can't happen, it'll be the death of us if it continues. Now yeah I'm lazy too, I haven't done anything to my character in a long while, and yeah maybe its just out of feeling like its not worth it. Despite what I have said in the past, you all are talented writers and creative artists (me being the best artist, of course) and have outstanding, and in some cases polar opposite personalities. This is a awesome formula, because we have points of view from all spectrums. This is probably what will set us apart (or not, who knows!) from other fan sessions is because we have a set of such different people coming together and making something happen. Now sometimes our personalities have us butt heads more often then not. I think some of us just don't realize that what they're doing is bothering the other, because nobody really goes out of their way to be a jerk. If you have a problem talk to them, rather then hold a grudge or let a wound fester. Its healthier for you and the session. Another thing is that we're very disorganized. Sure we have our own character pages and what not, but what purpose do they serve if we don't even know some people have ask pages and what not about their characters. Obviously keeping up to date is left up to you so I ask to please try and update things and quickly as possible. We all need to be here and participate here in the forum. The sole reason why we have this is because all of us can't be on the IRC at the same time, the forum makes it much easier to communicate. So be a bro to snuff and use this place. The last thing we need to square away is a concrete start date. We can be flexible now when we want to start it, but we can't be flexible once its agreed upon and set. If we establish a deadline hopefully people will start to get things together and look forward to starting it.
Oh snap I forgot, we also have to decide what format we're going to present it and where, before we have a deadline.
This will happen, even if I have to drag each and every one of you in here. I wouldn't be the best Lt if I didn't. | |

Thank you for putting that so beautifully, Volksie. You also brought up some still unresolved matters, at least to the best of my knowledge. I'll edit and post them. Also, I'm going to make an Off-Forum SBoard Masterpost, including the Google doc and ask blogs. | |

| Present and accounted for, let's do this. If you guys haven't checked the other subfora, Nicekat, Zero and I have started our own "practice adventures." Things to help us get a feel for our characters, as well as get used to the command-prompt-style format. These things may get used in the actual story, they may not. Check them out if you get the chance! They're in our respective personal character subfora. TechnoTealeaf is still getting her interactions all squared away, so anyone who hasn't visited with her (myself included) needs to get on that, pronto. | |

| Using the forum more would be a help, because that's where I get my info about what's going on! But yeah, I'm ready for this. I'll try to put in the effort needed!
I've got a pretty good feel for Nisaba because I've been using her in a cross-fandom private rp with a friend. xD | |

| I'm still into this, and I'm going to ALWAYS be here because this thing was my idea in the beginning, so I kinda feel obligated to see my ugly brainbaby get to term and be born. *u* The only thing I need to finish is some interactions (Including with you, Volks, and if push comes to shove and we REALLY can't work anything out, 'don't know each other' is something we can fall back on.), and I'm good to go. Maybe I'll tweak the main sort of landscape and terrain in Nereus' land, but other than that I'm good.
I've also sent Zael an ask bugging her to get her ass over here. | |

| I've been slow with poking people about getting my interactions sorted out, that's all on me. I'm trying to get everything sorted out here without being annoying while juggling real life drama. I'll do better about poking people and keeping everyone updated with the changes I make to Atma. If there's anything I'm forgetting to do feel free to tell me, I tend to forget things.
Also I think we should have the actual RP here on the forums, we have the space why not use it? It's also a format we're used to using, just type add pictures (if we're doing panels) and we're good to go! | |

I... thanks, I really appreciate it, and I need to apologize myself. Automatically assuming you were going to interpret that comment a particular way wasn't fair to you, and the comment to that effect was uncalled for. I need to recheck all my interactions and get them all written up finally. I'll get on that ASAP. Also, Techno, it's just as much on other people to talk to you about interactions as it is on you to talk to them. Don't blame yourself more than you deserve. | |

| Guys, the thing about a resurgence of interest is that in order for it to work, you've got. to keep. posting after the initial resurgence. It don't work if you just show up and say a few things, then don't invest anything. Hello, pot. I'm kettle. You're black. | |

Another thing about this point is that our own interpersonal dynamic as people is kinda dying and part of this is due to a lack of a central instant communication. Yeah, the board is nice, but mostly for information storage, real progress tends to happen in real time. Summer is happening and I know personally I have a job and a trip to Japan to plan for. So when I get a few hours that I can sit at the compy, I need to know WHERE the discussion happens. At some point this rp was being discussed in like three different places and yet the decisions made in each group were not being conveyed to the other groups, kinda a bad thing. We need to confine talk of Sboard to one area thats one. And two we need active participation in that area. This isnt confined to simply for rp related discussion. We NEED to be talking half this rp is together based on our interest in each other as friends, and if that interest dies, we can fantroll all we want and nothing is gonna happen. | |

| I would like to apologize for my absence, and the fact that I don't have regular computer access at the moment. I do think we need a place to actually talk about shit, though. Remember when people actually showed up to the SBOARD irc channel? | |

| I've been on and off active online. And by on, I mean show up to make a post and check tumblr for a bit, then disappear without ever signing onto anything that allows people to talk to me in real time. I'm likely going to have more free time soon and I'll have to make sure I start getting on Skype more often, back to the IRC (Both Skaia and ours), and signing on PC. Royal's absolutely right, it definitely shows that we got most of our work done in that window of time where we all hung out on the IRC and PC memos. | |

| It does seem like part of the problem is that we're not really hanging out together and talking about it in real-time. I think it would help if people agreed to just show up in the SBOARD irc channel whenever they're available. Could we do that? | |
