Well at least he's probably off somewhere giving a good dicking to his girl.

He may have just chosen to...*gasp*...get a life or something.

Is that a foreign concept? (it sure is to me)

I have two lives! One in the day with my friends, and one at night on the internet. Get my sleep during the time that people don't do anything (5 am to 11 or 12). I mean really, noone hangs out in the morning anyway unless you live together.

:( And I has such a cool character.

I don't think he's been on internets much at all, so it's not just Theo. He's never on Facebook or MSN Messenger either.

Apparently those floods in aussieland are keeping him away.

Not to mention he's sorta losing interest.

I'd think Nat would be the last person to lose interest in this...

That's what I thought, I mean it's his baby and he worked so hard on it.. but, well.. it wouldn't the first time he's abandoned a game, from what I've heard. Happened in the first Theo too.

Of course, he's nineteen now, I expect he's changed quite a bit since then.

Dust has been the longest running Nat-run game, yes. And last I heard from him he still wants to do this but life has been a bitch, which I can totally relate to.

Life is always a bitch, there's never a better time than now to do anything. Trick is to prioritise... A little bird tells me that Kotei 2011 has that at the moment.

Boot Camp is over. I have won.

:D

U in military? US army?

Happy Birthday Nat!

He has to be here for us to celebrate. :)

He's around.

Happy Birthday Nat!

You're my role model! I need ya around to be a good example, so please come back, and please survive to your next birthday!

Yeah, Army. Sorry about vanishing like that, my net cut out like two days before I left for basic.

Cool come stationed in Yongsan Korea and we can hang out!

Korea's one of those places I'm looking at going, too.

kk well let me know if you make it here we can hang. (also if your not old enough to drink we can head over away from the MP patrolled areas, I know some cool clubs).

I feel like an ubern00b but I had to share this:

It says white trash... but I say "genius!" I mean who the hell thinks of instead of buying a new laptop when your other one's screen breaks to attach your old tv screen to it! I mean awesome seriously.

I love the white trashiness of it all. :P

My televisions are all larger than my monitor. I wanna do this e_e

Hey everyone.

I've thought long and hard over the time of my absence, about whether or not I want to continue with Theogenesis: Dust. It's not that I don't love the game - not at all. I think that my year and a half of effort, coupled with the amazing stories we've managed to tell and the characters that have developed prove otherwise. It's not an issue of love - it's an issue of labour.

I don't think I can GM Dust anymore. I know that this is a very selfish thing to say, especially considering the extent of involvement and immersion most of you have achieved in the game. I'm not sure whether or not it has anything to do with things that have transpired over the past couple of months, or maybe I am just spent. It might be something else entirely. But, at this stage, I have no direct intention of continuing with the game. I'm not sure what will happen to it - I think that you guys can decide.

This isn't to say I am quitting Theogenesis. Most certainly not. I will be back, don't you worry. And I apologise that the stories couldn't be finished. I'll be around to answer questions and whatnot about the game, so whatever you wish to ask, go ahead. I owe you more than that.

Once again, I'm sorry, and I wish you all the best. I've made many great friends with this little game. I hope you'll all stick around to post and hang out in the OOC, and that your confidence in me hasn't shattered into a thousand pieces. Dust, it turns out, wasn't my magnum opus - it was great, inspired, weird, powerful, intense and majestic. It was everything I wanted it to be. But I know, now, that even though it was too great for me to handle as an individual, it was not my best work. I will always be doing more things, and I will always be around.

Sincerely
Nat

Because I hate non-endings. How would you feel if I GMed the ending.

Sorry guys but the tree will die. There is just the question of "oh shit hurry and build a spaceship to GTFO".

OK just to be more specific:

1- As soon as I take the reigns, the final primordial Master Divine... will die.
2- This will shatter the world. And things that were going on, really wouldn't matter any more since it would be like the movie 2012... just drop your shit.
3- I intent to cheat! Anik, though in-game coming very close to being able to do this... would not be able to actually created tree-traversing spaceship. But the first that will happen would be (fucking finally) Anik gets into his old Lab... and it's full of goodies. (And Apparently he was working on this already in his previous life along with a couple other player-chars in their previous lives.) Anik will tell his friends. The news will get to all the players. Some of the players will have their OWN ways of preservation (of the bat I can think of Max, Sura).
4- It won't be set in stone that you escape... and there will be a RL time limit! (got to get back to reboot then lol). At march 20, 2011 the tree will die, and everything on it will as well. Of course every week I will introduce some new bad thing to happen to the world.
5- Paradox will end. Everyone will be snapped to 1 self.

The Tree dying is exactly what I had in mind when I started the game. That should be a given, no matter what happens. And the space-ship.. well, that was Osiris-Ra's great idea. :)
