The worst experience of Cumberbatch's life was in Durban.

"The worst experience of my life was in South Africa."
Said everyone who has ever been to SA.

Unless they've been to Baltimore.

Taking notice of a relatively sharp decline in active players (which, let me tell you, does make my job harder than I'd like for it to be.), I'm debating whether I should take this arc to a safe-ish place to conclude at week's end and then just start off the next arc at a dinner party, as is traditional in EH when starting new arcs.

I'd allow new characters to be created and something a bit more drastic- I'd create a different thread, saying OPEN, where I'd allow in some more new and active (but high quality) players, to put some fresh blood back in here and make up for the high number of rpers here who no longer post/won't be posting much for a while. (Example: Astro said he won't be back until winter, Ende is Ende, etc. etc.)

Eh. Maybe.

Thank you, Mr. House, for your insightful response.

Go for it.
Honestly, the roleplay could use more fresh meat.

[Nude East Ireland]

Let's just keep the RP in its roots; crazy drunken fun time with some plot things sometimes.

Because fuck planning.

Somewhat what we're trying to do. It was easier when I had more active people I could rely upon to swap around and have stuff happen, but then the house of cards somewhat fell apart as people began leaving or decreasing activity.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

If I do throw in fresh blood, I'll probably do a basic "get to know you" survey which will basically consist of

Do you like Doctor Who?:
What is your favourite genre?:
Country of origin:
Religion and level of devoutness:
How are you with dark humour?:

Considering EH's reputation, I think people will happily fill that out.

I can do things still.

No - you should work on studying in school and raising your GPA.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

I'm also debating on making a rule keeping people not participating in the IC from being around in the OOC (Erin is immune to said rule).

But I'm more hesitant on that.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

I utterly adore reading reactions to the Indian Miss America.

Please don't.

I don't have anything against other people, but I want an ending, not a beginning.

I second this.

As do I - but I frankly admit that our original plans of hoping to get this done by the end of the year are going to end up being unrealistic.

Basically I don't want it to end up like AWB where the entire original cast was shrunk down to five people and slowed activity and so on helped kill it. I mean, I'm aware the issues were more complex than that, but I'm using a board stroke reference.

This is Elfen High.

Everyone who you care to have is still here. We're just busy. It happens.

This is the same schedule that it survived last year.

Aye, but we had a tad more people last year.

Aye, but we don't need those people.

We average about five posts a day. APS averaged two posts a month and we finished it, because I'm a stubborn bastard.

Things will lighten up soon enough, as people figure out how to manage their new schedules better and Christmas approaches.

Alrighty then, I'll refrain from adding in fresh blood right away.

I may be an idiot - well, I say "may" - but I'd honestly rather see this die than see it become something completely different when it should be reaching its zenith.

I say that now, of course.

i'm not fresh blood
you could ask me

[Nationstatelandsville]

Over the course of the school day, I've switched from writing my division symbols as this, to a "/".

I think I may be going insane.

I always do that.

[Nude East Ireland]

I will not be happy unless the ending to post-apocalyptic Macbeth is a dance party.

You don't already do that? What's wrong with you?
