As always, I am. :)

That's good. I do.

You too!

Happy New Year.

Ak!

Computer problems. Suddenly didn't have wifi. Some sort of software problem, probably caused by Windows' latest update. Of course, now I can't get online to get any newer update that might fix it. Or, it could be malware.

Using a borrowed computer.

In reply to Dread Pirate Robert (msg # 394):

Hope you fix your software.

Yeah, that got fixed. Used a borrowed computer, and as soon as it did an update, it, too, wound up with the same problem. Then used a friends computer to check online and found a solution.

Now, my screen keeps going wonky... flickering horizontal lines so I can't see anything. Shutting it down for a bit seems to reset it, but I'm expecting it go completely at some point.

More computer problems. Screen's gone on the newer computer, keyboard's messed up on the older one. Got an external keyboard to use the older one.

It's getting the job done, but I don't have access to most of my files since they are all on the newer computer.

Anyway, I don't know if the pandemic is affecting people's posting, but if you don't post, then I probably should pull the plug on this game... one less problem for my computer woes.

Currently using my old laptop with the wonky screen by plugging in an external monitor from my roommate's defunct desktop.

Still not the best option...


Anyway, does anyone still want to continue?

I've just been having a hard time coming up with a direction for the game. It seemed to have started out okay, but then players began dropping for all sorts of odd reasons.

So, if you want it to keep going, a bit of feedback would be helpful.

In reply to Dread Pirate Robert (msg # 398):

I'm still here.

Still here, too. Not really sure where to go with the game.

Maybe it's time to find the sailor we're looking for and move on to the next phase, whatever that turns out to be.

A bit more combat would probably be welcome.

I held off on replying to this because I was trying to think of some suggestion on how to move forward. I couldn't. But I am here.

Well, I think I had it in mind that it was supposed to be a kind of chase after the sailor who might have the Black Pearl, but when players started dropping out, it kind of lost momentum and focus.

Generally, when there's a stall, it's because I don't know what to do next... and it takes a few days to figure it out.

The best way to keep the game going is to just keep posting. A couple of posts usually prods me into replying.

Hello! I am looking forward to joining the game!

Welcome!

Vasily, I do believe the horses are galloping towards you

Ah, ok. I'll revise my thinking then. :D

Hello and welcome!

Dogs knocked my laptop off the couch again and damaged the cable to the external monitor. My be another day or three before I can replace the cable (computer place was out; on order).

My screen is bad... lots of flashy horizontal lines and vertical crap, too. Makes it hard to see/read the screen. I can managed one or two posts before it causes headaches, crosseyed and psychosis! Maybe the NSA has tampered with it!

In reply to Dread Pirate Robert (msg # 408):

Dreadful.

In reply to Alessandra Castillo (msg # 409):

Inconceivable.

Finally got the replacement cable; had to wait till payday.

Now it seems as if I merely exchanged one problem for another. The external monitor keeps blacking out. Maybe it's finally going bad.

Welcome back!

I hope you can fix it.
