Would love to play.  I do have one suggestion though. It seems that we cover every minute of time so little happens. I would like a less sand box feel to the game at least at first to pick pace up

Well Edward, I agree I start games out slow. It's generally so people have a chance to establish their characters. Definitely have to speed things up though. LOL. We played Q&D for years and didn't get past the fourth day. I intend to make the pace much faster.

  I'm still in. Is it possible, just to save time, that those that are still in can get a brief catch-up by Mav as time of day and where everyone is accordingly. I was just thinking it might help get things moving. Plus I can figure out how to bring me IG and what I would see as I head into town. Would this be possible?

I think I am here too, just need to figure out my response...  Hmm, she does have a new gun...  ;)

If I was you I'd shoot the guy for ruining your dress. Just sayin'  ;)

Am I the only one that noticed Flossie wants to hike up her skirts and Temperance wants her buns buttered? I really like the women in this game. ;)

Yes, the dress probably cost more than his horse...  ;)

Anyway, hope to post very soon now, life's been keeping me busy and stressed, ack.  :S  Starting to settle, though.  :)

As for buns and things, I shall leave that in your hands.  :P

WHAT!!!! That old rag your wearing? Worth more than Cocoa. No dress in the world is worth as much as Cocoa. You was in Boston to long, maybe that lady stuff is wearing off on you :D

Why!? Why is it all my games are tanking.... is it me, am I jinxing every game I've joined over the last few months? If the GM doesn't leave, then he can't control his players or a player or two are just complete ass-nuggets and go Me!Me!Me!.....

(Insert Loud Yell) Tension breaker, had to be done. :/

*hugs Taron*  It has been rough on games of late, more so than usual it seems.

Well,we got a little spat of fun, then nothing.  What's up, my dear friends?

Sorry guys and gals, wish I new.

 Yea, tho I walk thru the valley of the shadow of death. I shall fear no evil, for I am the meanest Sonofabitch in the valley.

:D

Aunque ande en valle de sombra de muerte, no temeré mal alguno, porque voy a patear su culo.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays To All :D

Feliz Navidad (y Próspero Año Nuevo)!

Still miss this game.  Always will.

In reply to Lola Montoya Torres (msg # 514):

Me too!

I miss y'all.  Maybe someday?

Hello all. It's been a long time and I'm sorry for that. It turns out my crazy life has settled down finally and I have returned to RPoL as a player recently. I've been seriously considering returning as a GM with this game in particular if I can drum up interest in it once again. Many of you have roleplayed with me clear back in the days of The Quick and the Dead and I value your opinions. Does anyone think it's worth a shot to try to re-spark this game? I've been debating on trying again or if I should maybe just start over with something new, but I must confess my preference is still with the western genre and my old friends if anyone might possibly still be interested.

Any thoughts? Any advice? I'd appreciate your input. :)

I would love to bring Flossie back to life again.

I'll take a mite to remember who I am, but I'm game to game!

I would love to play a western. One challenge I have seen in western sandboxes that time and scenes drag on forever. I recently played in a sandbox that had a standard cut off date of three weeks per day.

The other trouble is that sometimes players feel they need to rp every bit of the day. I think there should be an emphasis on that scenes are that which would make it on to the final cut of a movie

But, would be up if these issues could be addressed, so the game moves

I am, as always, here.

Edward Jennings do have a point, though, and to this I would also like to add what I have seen in small group, plot oriented games as opposed to this more sandbox style, when people posts so much they create a game within a game and can indeed skew time.

I do not envy GMs, I tell you.  ;)

Ya know I'm in.
We had a good group going here and I'm sure more would come if we lose some that don't wish to continue.

LOL. Sandbox. New term for me. I understand completely what you are saying though. For the most part I agree. My games do have a tendency to attract people who are character oriented and love to write and do get dragged down in the individual character stories instead of over-all plot, but I must confess to loving the writing of so many of my players who have always been friends, I always let that happen. lol. I also have a habit of being "soap opera" and letting many stories play out at the same time instead of advancing the Adventures and plots I have set up. When I set up a game I plot many different stories to follow hoping to keep everyone interested in some way, then I get distracted in their own individual story-lines a bit to much. Always been a weakness for me. :)

Maybe if individual stories become important I should break people off into separate groups? I have never done that because by and large most of the players I've had love to read the others writing and stories as much as I do but I do see where that could handle a lot of the timeline issue. I also understand what Edward says about cut-off dates for game time. I have indeed set those up before but always let it slide. Another weakness when I get drawn into the players writing. I confess. I'm a weak GM. I can indeed enforce these matters more though. Some players may leave because of it. I understand real life makes you unavailable very often, but to advance the game it may become necessary and perhaps we'd end up with a more solid core of players?

I'm just throwing thoughts out there and asking for suggestions. I appreciate any input as always.
