Re: CCO
yep.. I give new folks a coupel weeks if they don't give me a heads up, ebfore I cut them... I give Vets a longer leash.. 1 guy has been in the game all 71/2 + years.. the Oregon guy about 4+ I think... I know how thier work is , Kids ect.
we have lost at least two.to RL death..one, we never heard from again, but he mentioned his fight.... another Guy, from England, I skyped with a coupel time , because he was so into the game, he was asking be questions bout the back round..he had a tumor and passed.. his sister sent me an Email when she came over to his hosue to check on him.
there was a great player..even shared his honymoon pics with us.. but we haven't heard from him since the CA fires last August, so he may have been one of the unlucky ones,who didn't make it.
those fires, they showed Charles Shultz's neighboor hood, burned all the way down to the foundations.. the fire had been stopped, just short of the 'Peanuts Museum' there...pics of Bones turned to ash there... not cool.
The great part is, the game is built, so you and your charcter learn at the same time..and my Vets help out the new folks as much as they can.
but its cool.. OOC will have vents about RL..people offering suggestions and information..PMs for some of teh real bad stuff.. I have a couple newer players that always are asking about the ships..or alien races ect ect, so they can get thier RP down.... DAmn lucky to have players like that...there been 3 games I was in that folded ( one might have had the GM being taken..because of bad health Issues)
one funny part.. a game I joined to help a GM that was in my game a year ago...wasn't run very well.. I tried to post to keep it goign because it was 'too freefomrish"...a player ask the DM to tell me to use spell check, and suggested that if I had some problems she would edit my posts for me!.... I went to OOC and said, that maybe if folks would post more, rather then worry about the other stuff, the game might not be dying.... it was deleted Monday!
as a sidebar?..yes..i know I mistype a lot..but I think I over work my spellcheck, as it never catches everything!
