There'll be an Arc 4?

Oh God.

It will be (relatively) short though.

Swith: It's because you're so awesome. God himself refreshes the screen before he types just to see if Nightkill has written anything while he was off somewhere else.

I think that the only religions we never even touched on in our various rps were the old Native American ones.

Which is why I allow in many, many people at the beginning and watch them kill each other off.

Ah, I remember those days. I got some good use out of my tactical stealth rocket launcher.

Yes, I was interested in that. I've only been in about 8 RPs that survived long enough to have multiple arcs. The problem is the first page of the IC. After that they either die or take off. Then the OP activity comes into factor. How active is he/she. Then lastly come the keeping interest.

Pretty much.

I haven't seen any big rp actually come to a conclusion, so that's interesting. Especially since I'm ending a dozen at once.

But not really, since you had intended to truly wrap it in May First.

Which never really happened.
