I've had an interesting time. XD

It's harder than it looks, and my respect for Zae has risen hundredfold. How she was able to do 5 whole games and most of the 6th game, I don't know. I doubt I'd be able to do that.

I'd be thinking about the update all day, sometimes, until I came across an idea that I liked. Sometimes I couldn't get an idea, or I forgot to think about one, and it would be time for the update and I'd be scrambling for a creative spurt. I'd look for ideas in books, old updates, or just try to write something and hope it didn't suck. To try to carefully mix an update with humor and references but still retain a backbone was difficult sometimes. It was easiest the first few updates, but when ideas were harder to reach for, it became more difficult to figure out what to do.

When I started writing them, humor just came naturally. It was part of my writing style. References were also amusing, and I loved putting them in. I don't really know where that idea came from. I think it was tied to my idea of an inquistor who always screamed "'Do you know why the caged bird sings?!'" That was an older idea of mine, and it was fun to be able to play out a character who said that. It also required me to temporarily remove the old warden, but I hardly intended to keep him out forever. XD I didn't want to leave the game's characters unchanged from when I started it. Hence his dramatic (but not so logical) return. But as he said, who says this game is logical?

I was fortunate enough to not have to tally votes except for once, I think. How Zae was able to do that every day I don't know, either. Once was brain-numbing enough for someone like me, since I can't really stand rote activities.

I was also fortunate enough to be in the guild situation where it is easier to keep track of everything. How she was able to do it in a thread that would gain a hundred pages a day, at least, I don't know. I'm both amazed and humbled that she was able to do it for as long as she did.

There's a sort of thrill involved. You know all the answers, and you get to sit and watch things unfold. And then you get to decide how it starts to play out in the jail. It was a wonderful experience.

But I also missed being part of the game. And while I've had a wonderful time doing this, I'll be glad to be able to play the game again. Best of wishes to whoever is GM after me, and good luck.

Maybe a little too much contact. D:

Do You Believe in Magic?

IHD, you have a lot of my respect now.

I know for a FACT I would NEVER be able to put up with all this drama and stay as calm as you were. <3

That in itself is one of the many reasons that I could never be a GM. I have a hard enough time dealing with stuff over at The Suites, if I had to do it here too, I'd go mad.

Much love for IHD.

:chucks brownies at you:

Like I've said a million times, I'm REALLY sorry I killed the CK, ending the game earlier.

You'll play in the next game, right? xD

And to think, this was supposed to be a simple project to keep me mildly occupied.

Tallying was ALWAYS a pain in the patootie.

Rgeardless. You did a very good job. <3 I was muchly impressed. n.n
I was there MANY times scrambling for updates. xD


Now. We all need to make obnoxious 500X500 flashing sigs to advertise for the next game. xD
