@macha I can't! It's Covid football season. Pretty much all of 2021 will be taken up!

Hi y'all,

To any of the players on Astonishing Tales--were currently down. I can't get to the server to see what's up until this afternoon when I get back home from work. I'll get to it as soon as I can.

Thanks!

Tan

@bear_necessities Sandboxy year one comic game. If you want the addy, I'll hit you up! Been having a ton of fun. I've decided I really dig small games.

Give me a small, hyper-active game anytime.

These are the good old days.

@L-B-Heuschkel In Wisconsin we're having a tough time finding teachers. I'm lucky my administration has our back and is understanding of all of this craziness.

I also believe they get that the pool of teachers has dwindled significantly in recent years (due to some stuff in our state) and we're now reaching the bottom of the barrel.

@Ganymede Anecdotally, I haven't really come to believe this. I think there are about the same numbers and it's mostly the same people. I think comic games are driven by two opposite desires of wanting lots of people to scene with while also having open chars they like and want to play. Almost like a scale. And the cycle repeats itself as soon as something, usually staff drama, upsets the balance cart or someone pissed off makes a new game with open chars that have enough to to justify jumping ship. I was thinking back to older supers games and there wasn't gobs more people overall playing those things, to my recollection.

Edited for spellin

None of this is real.

He's been "making" games no one plays for years.

It's part of the Chet Method. We call it trolling.

Edited for spelling.

Edited to fill in old games and the new game I'm playing.

@silverfox I'm scared and frustrated too. Teaching in this environment is awful and I don't know what to do either. Good luck with everything.

Pastries gone bad.

I love it.

@Sunny Me too in a way. I dont know why but it sapped my energy for rp. Thought about him the other day and realized how much fun he made things.

I miss @ixokai

That's it. That's the post.

Happy you're okay, Sunny. Much love.

@666stringsamurai I'm really glad you enjoyed it and that it helped you through some rough times. Hopefully I'll see you on TNPs upcoming game. I'm excited for it.

Thank you guys for getting a copy to put up for people. That's awesome and really appreciated, I'm sure.

I didn't have any of the information when we went from the old server to the new server, so I have no way of accessing it. It's probably for the best that it closes with Theo. Thank you to Teto for offering the sandbox for the players.

This is the fucking worst.

Ix was one of the best people I've met online. I'm really thankful that I was able to play with him so consistently on a game he put his heart and soul into. Don't even know what to say. This is fucking awful.

Man I want to know that story in specific and glorious detail

@surreality Tell me you were the person who junked the baby. Or, at least tell me you know more specifics about that story. It was before my CS time.

@ixokai my lone experience with an audition was a really good one. It forced me to really think about how I was going to use dialogue and how to show my character's style. That pressure was really good for me, but obviously that is different for everyone.

Even though the game didn't work out for me, the character (Gambit for X-men) is still one of my go to characters years later.
