Update:

Yuber Okami - about 3/4ths finished
Whiskey Jack and Sunphoenix - on temporary hold (likely until next week)

On another note, yesterday I discovered that my home internet connection had been disconnected. I won't have internet access at my home again until Friday evening at the earliest. Currently I'm keeping an eye on things here from my work computer. Just a heads up, in case some people were wondering about the drop in my posting/response frequency.

Unfortunately, things didn't go according to plan regarding restoring my home internet over the weekend. I am still without a home internet connection at present. I hope to rectify that by tomorrow (the soonest my ISP said they'd be able to do the installation). Sorry everyone. I will of course be keeping an eye on things from my work computer during the day.

Apparently, I won't actually have internet access at my home until Thursday. In other news, Yuber Okami/Andreas Scheuzeri is about 90% finished with his character. He will most likely be done by tomorrow, which means I should be able to include him in the cast when the game starts. So maybe this inconvenient delay with my home internet disconnection will turn out to be for the best after all.

Sounds good.

Haven't heard back from Yuber Okami yet today, so hopefully his character will be finished by tomorrow, or at the very least, within a few days. Regardless, providing I have internet at home within the next couple days, I will be starting the game this weekend.

Update:

Yuber Okami - about 95% finished, just purchasing equipment
Sunphoenix - a little less than 1/3rd finished
Whiskey Jack - deciding between character concepts

Regarding my home internet situation, at best I'll have internet running by tomorrow, which would mean I could start the game over the weekend as planned. If that doesn't pan out, then I should still be able to have internet working by Saturday afternoon - and if so, I'll make every effort to start the game no later than Sunday evening.

Update:

Yuber Okami - still waiting on his response
Sunphoenix - making good progress, a little less than 2/3rds finished
Whiskey Jack - deciding between character concepts

As for my home internet situation, according to my ISP, it's iffy at this point whether or not I'll have internet activated tomorrow (and yes, these constant delays and false starts are getting annoying), but I'm hoping for that nonetheless. If it doesn't happen tomorrow, they assure me it can be done on Tuesday. Guess I'll just have to wait and see. At any rate, if it does get pushed forward to Tuesday, I'll attempt to start the game Tuesday evening.

Well, as you all probably guessed, I didn't get my internet activated over the weekend. My ISP still assures me it can be done tomorrow. I thank you all for your continued patience.

Update:

Yuber Okami - will most likely be finished by this evening, provided we can correspond further today
Sunphoenix - has decided not to take part in this game
Whiskey Jack - waiting on his response

Regarding my internet issue, hopefully I'll have internet access tonight and can finally get things moving. I won't know until I get home this evening.

Finally! After much troubleshooting and frustration, my home internet is now up and running. Unfortunately, it's too late to try to start the game tonight, but I will try to do so tomorrow evening.

Sorry for the delay, GM, I'm back on track now.

I tried to get starting posts out to each PC group last night, but didn't quite manage. Hopefully I can do so tonight. If not, then over the weekend for sure. Meanwhile, Whiskey Jack has begun character creation - currently waiting on his response. Yuber Okami will be finished with his character as soon as I get his final confirmation, and will be able to join the starting cast.

My internet is acting up.  GM, I'll respond as soon as I can.

Update:

Yuber Okami - finished with character creation
Whiskey Jack - still waiting on his response

I had to work late last night, so I didn't manage to get the game started. But I'll have time to do that over the weekend. Hang tight everyone. :)

I'm all pinions and needles!

Opening posts have gone out to several PC's - Anna and Andreas, I'll get to your openings soon. Ran out of time at the moment.

Hey Alarus,

Any of that ring a bell? How far in the future is it?

Thanks!

Group 1, I'll allow time for Shik to post before making another post - just in case you're wondering.

Andreas and Whiskey Jack, still waiting on your responses in your private threads. Group 1, I'll move you along once you're all ready. Anna, keep up the good posts. :)

I'm not actually sure about this, so I thought I'd field this question here for others to chime in if they know.

In reply to Gamemaster (msg # 114):

I know you can go to User preferences and modify your email notification. Which sends you an email, after a set time limit, of any new items (Private rmail, Private Messages, or posts in threads in the game you have access to.

However, i don't think you can only set it for one thread over any other. Also any edits of posts already done are missed by it. In addition, it doesn't send you a copy of the post via the email. It just says 'this thread/game your following has new items.'

Sorry, had no internet connection other than my phone for the last week, and the browser on that doesn't seem to like working on RPoL >.<

I'll post now.

Happy Halloween everyone. Hope you have many spooky moments today. :)

I'm sorry that I haven't gotten around to posting lately. Work and life have been considerably hectic recently, and I just discovered that I'm going to have to move house ASAP, so all my spare time has been devoted to searching for a new place to live. I will keep an eye on things here from my office, but unfortunately, I can't concentrate on posting updates for the time being. I will be able to do that once I'm settled in at wherever I end up moving to. I appreciate everyone's patience and I want to make it clear that this game is not being abandoned, just being put on temporary hold.

Fair enough GM, moving is always a hectic and time consuming effort (even if it is within the same state/city).

I totally understand the need to put Rpol on hold until the RL moving is settled.  I appreciate the heads up (and the reassurance that the game is only on hold temporarily).

Good luck with your move and I'll look forward to your return to the game.  ;)
