The other one was beginning to get crowded, so I figured I'd put up a new one. :)
If you think you're going to be gone from the board for an extended amount of time, please post here with the following information, just to keep us aware of who's active, who's away, and who's just missing in action.
Thanks!
Player Name
Character(s)
Expected length of absence/dates
Reason (Not necessary, but we like to know what's going on with our peeps.:))
Player Name: Kuchiro
Character(s): List HERE (http://angdar.com/nightsomen/index.php?topic=806.msg22343#msg22343)
Expected length of absence/dates: March 26-30. The University anime club is putting on a free convention this Saturday, and as it's coming down to crunch time, we're crunching time like our lives depend on it. So, I thought I would put up an official alert that I will definitely not be around this week and weekend. ^^
Player Name: Darren and Lock
Character(s): Lists here (http://angdar.com/nightsomen/index.php?topic=806.msg20888#msg20888) and here. (http://angdar.com/nightsomen/index.php?topic=806.msg20905#msg20905)
Expected length of absence/dates: Until Wednesday afternoon.
Reason: We got rid of our crappy net company (Verizon), and are getting a new set-up, cable this time. Cable net won't be set up until Wednesday, between 2 and 6pm EST. I'm 'borrowing' the neighbor's wifi, so hopefully it'll hold out long enough for me to pop in occasionally in the meantime, and there's a Panera I can take my laptop to every now and then, if I'm willing to drive. I'll keep an eye out, promise.
Player Name: West
Character(s): West, Cynfor
Expected length of absence/dates: April 15(?) - May 1
Reason: Finals and moving about 2,000 miles to my parents house for the summer. Finals don't start until the 21st (I think), but I need to study for them, so everything else in my life will suffer for a few days before my exams.
Player Name: Maria
Character(s): ALL OF THEM!
Loreanna Kiev
Vincent Kiev
Ridley Vulpes
Ollie Smoke
Geoffrey Corsier
Nikos
Eek
Annikki Joutsen
Malachi
Melchior Marinitch
Davis Jaeger
And anyone else I've created lately but haven't had time to add to my active user list (but I think I got them all <_<)
Expected length of absence/dates: Until early May, probably.
Reason: New house with lots of repairs and remodeling to do. Too busy between work and preparing for the move to get online for very long. Will be losing internet just before the move, and might not have it until a few weeks after the move. I've been pretty inactive for the past few weeks for the very same reasons. Will try to drag my ass out of this hole of inactivity once I'm settled into the new house.
Player Name: Inoni
Character(s): Everyonnneee
Fairfax Whitley, Bly Devlin, Jacob, Kailani Palaualelo, Owen Emberly
Expected length of absence/dates: Heh, it's already been going on for over a month (I fail for not saying anything sooner)...possibly another month? Indefinite/subject to change.
Reason: College life is taking priority, and so are various other creative side projects. It's possible that I'll randomly find time to RP, but it's gonna be very sporadic. ^_^;;
Player Name Dayna
Character(s) Haleigh Kennedy
Expected length of absence/dates indef. amount of time. unsure
Reason Going to Portland this weekend and struggling to raise my GPA so I get the units at semester. I REALLY don't want to fail. Plus I'm in a show with the drama dept. so I've been at rehearsals for that.
Player Name: bluemoon
Character(s): LOTS. (find the list here (http://angdar.com/nightsomen/index.php?topic=806.msg20939#msg20939))
Expected length of absence/dates: As seems to be the fashion, I'm posting this after I've already been semi-inactive for... a long time.
Anyway, so I have finals coming up that I must study for, probably about 60 hours worth of art projects that need to be done ASAP, dorm rooms that need deep cleaning before they'll let me go anywhere, etc etc....
So I'll be gone a LOT for at least another week, possibly longer.
Player Name: Kuchiro
Character(s): List HERE (http://angdar.com/nightsomen/index.php?topic=806.msg22343#msg22343)
Expected length of absence/dates: April 6 - May 2
Reason: Just because it's not finals week yet (for a month) doesn't mean the professors can't start having final projects due now. I won't say that I'll be MIA all the time for the next month, but it is getting down to the time when I have to turn in the big papers and projects, and take the big tests.
Mostly, I'd just like to let everyone know that I'm legitimately busy, not simply forgetful or lazy. ;)
Player Name: Inoni
Character(s): Everyone
Expected length of absence/dates: May 4 - May 10 (about that time, anyway)
Reason: A little post-semester vacation, yay! I might be able to get to a computer briefly during that time, but it's doubtable that I'd have an opportunity to post. But after that I'm pretty sure I've got most of the dang summer free, barring random vacations here and there. ;)
Player: Estelore
Character: Aurelius Lawson
Expected l.o.a.: No telling; your guess is as good as mine.
Reason: I'll be away tonight (to the best of my awareness), working set crew. If anyone PM's me, I'll not be able to answer. Ditto for any thread in which I am involved.
This condition will likely persist for most nights, probably for all of April and part of May. We're extremely busy on this end of things. Weekends I shall likely be totally incommunicado. I cannot guarantee that I'll always know why or when I'll be away, but I'll do my best with the time I have here. Your consideration is appreciated.
The word "tonight" shall apply until At Least May 3. That is as specific as I can possibly be. Sorry.
Okey dokey.
I have SOME time. We've had lots of group violin rehearsals lately, and this week has been packed. The 'Weekends=Me Not Here' thing still applies.
To the people in my threads: I am most grateful for your patience. You are saints.
Player Name: Jess
Character(s):Narri
Expected length of absence/dates: 4/29- 5/09
Reason: I'm not really going to be out completely during these weeks. It's just that they are finals weeks, and i'm swamped with work, so I want to apologize ahead of time if i don't get to answer posts during this time. I should have a few days where I can post.
Just an update: Make that mid-May/early June. House renovations are taking longer than expected. :'( I'll be on as much as I can during my few weeks of unemployed limbo between now and Moving Day (whenever THAT ends up being), but I make no promises. Darren's dragging my ass back here by force, though, so I must obey in whatever capacity I am able. ::)
I'm Back! I just wanted to let everyone know that I am home safely for the summer and am back to posting and such now.
Player Name: Darren
Character(s): Click my name in green to the left of this for the list.
Expected length of absence/dates: Tomorrow night (Tuesday), specifically between 8pm and 2am.
Reason: Gotta work inventory, and since it goes so much against my usual net schedule, I'm dropping it in here. I'll be back at around two, so I won't be gone ALL night, but that's a pretty core chunk of time for most of you.
Player Name: Lock
Character(s): Hurr (http://angdar.com/nightsomen/index.php?topic=806.msg20905#msg20905)
Expected length of absence/dates: May 15-24 (may not be officially back until the 25)
Reason: California trip
Player Name: Keri
Character(s): Check siggy
Expected length of absence/dates: May 22-26
Reason: Trip to Chicago ^_^
Player Name: Maria
Character(s): All of them, check the database.
Expected length of absence/dates: May 27- sometime in June
Reason: Moving, questionable internet availability.
Player Name: bluemoon
Character(s): Linked in this profile, just check there
Expected length of absence/dates: A lot. For a while. I'll probably be SORT of active after a few weeks, but nothing like now.
Reason: So don't be surprised if you basically don't see me until the 18th or so. I have a clogging routine to choreograph and practice, drawings to do for head drawing, a paper to write, 4 tests to study for, a scrapbook to make, a showcase to preform, and about three chapters of trig to learn and/or review, AND two online classes that I. MUST. COMPLETE. NOW.
AND that's just the stuff OUT of class that I need to do.
HALP.
And then after that I won't be as active either, needing to get a JOB, as I do.
Player Name: Angie
Character(s): Clickity profile.
Expected length of absence/dates: July 3-7. Thursday-Monday.
I shall be in TAMPA.
I will definitely be in text contact with Darren, though, if anyone needs me.
Edit: I ARE HOME
I feel so pathetic.
So, now that I actually DO have free time I might actually be on the net LESS, because we don't have internet now at home, which is where I'm off to. I'll be on when I can, just... heads up.
Filch wireless. :(
^^;
The only network that isn't pw protected in my area isn't always up. There's one that's nearly always there, but... I don't know the password. So... yea. If I manage to hack it then I can be on more, buuut... >_>
Player Name: Inoni
Character(s): Guh, all of them...so...yeah, check teh Player info!
Expected length of absence/dates: July 31-Aug 4
Reason: Shall be in San Francisco, assuming I don't get horribly sick in the next couple of days... *sips tea*
Player Names: Darren and Lock
Characters: Darren's (http://angdar.com/nightsomen/index.php?topic=806.msg20888#msg20888) and Lock's (http://angdar.com/nightsomen/index.php?topic=806.msg20905#msg20905)
Expected length of absence/dates: Friday, Saturday and Sunday, August 15-17
Reason: Maryland for Lock's birthday.
Player: Maria
Characters: All of them
Absense dates: Forever?
Reason: New full-time job, Aikido lessons, and TEFL course on weekends are eating all my time. I don't think I can commit to any online RPGs anymore. Sorry, guys. Feel free to write my characters out of plots, godmode them if you must. I wish I could stay, but I just don't have the time. -_-
Player: Moi
Characters: See list in profile.
Absence: For a little while.
Reason: Last day of move, net MIGHT be unpredictable for a little. Keep in touch via text, I'm sure.
I'm going to try and have the Witch tree done when you get back, bwahahaha :-*
So, posting from my phone sucks, but I finally got the net working. Should have internet for real tomorrow, though.
Player: Sav
Characters: Caleb Wells (Aaron doesn't really count yet...)
Absense dates: the foreseeable freaking future
Reason: my effing laptop's moniter decided to quit nevermind that the system cost more than my car and is only six effing months old. I don't have a spare moniter, soo...trying to figure out who to call... >:( It could be a few days, it could be a few weeks. Pray for me. I'll pop in when I'm at school let y'all know how it's going. >:( >:(
My old one did that, and it was something small. I forget what, but if I used a flashlight on the screen, I could see. Not very efficient, but that'll tell you if it's the backlight or something else. It only had a six month warranty? Fucking lame.
Other suggestion would be looking in the phone book for a used computer type of place, or even hitting yard sales as the weather gets nice to grab a spare monitor. It'd be ghetto, but better than nothing.
Too bad I don't have a laptop I'd let you have the monitor, Sav. I have an archaic BOX monitor but I'm willing to bet you could Ebay something cheaper than it'd cost to shop what I have and I doubt what I have is even compatible.
Gotta love being awake this early just for class!
Hopefully I'll have a perfectly perfect laptop by next week. I called the place and spoke to someone, getting disconnected only ONCE, and someone should call BACK tomorrow or the next day to set up an appt. to make everything better. God only knows when someone will actually come here to fix it. "They" suspect it is merely a loose connector, which would be fanTASTIC. Since paying for a new screen would blow pretty hard. Anyway! *~optimism~* You guys must be praying hard. :D
OMG YES. Computer God scheduled to descend upon my stoop tomorrow afternoon. With any luck I'll be back to my sleepless, internet-filled life by tomorrow night.
Awesome! YOU must have been praying awful hard. :)
... AND SO SOON AFTER FINALS WEEK TOO....
So people. I'm going to California, which means that my planning to be active probably won't work quite as well as I was sort of semi planning on. Leaving tomorrow, getting back next Thursday, April 16, and I have no idea what kind of internet access I will have. And then there's the matter of other things to do even if I have it - after all, there are whales to watch!
So... yes. I will go from hardly active to nonexistent for a week, probably. I WILL TALK TO ALL OF YOU LATER.
I'm feeling reallly unwell lately and need to get away from...well, anything that isn't sleeping, for awhile. I feel like my head is falling off. So, see y'all when I feel better...I'm not sure when that will be but...probably after finals, in a couple weeks.
:( *waves*
I hope you feel better Sav :)
I think I'm gonna have to take a similar kinda leave, the semester is wrapping up, I'm busy and stressed as hell, and coming unhinged upstairs....badly....so yeah I need so time to myself to sort things out properly. Those of you that have my number feel free to text or whatever if you want, but I'm probably gonna drop off the web for a bit....so see you folks hopefully sooner than later...
Hey everyone, bluemoon here.
Listen, I'm really sorry for doing this right as I start getting active again, but I really need to hiatus. I seem to be suffering from some sort of extreme online burnout that's been about 4 years in the building. To try and solve this I'm gonna take a week or so where I just literally remove the ethernet cable from the computer and take it elsewhere so that there's no way for me to get online. It'll probably just about kill me, but hey, it will also mean that I have time to catch up in my classes. I need that.
So you won't be seeing me on im or here or anywhere around at all - I'm gonna be thinking of and doing different things and hopefully it will make me feel better, because I'm feeling pretty apathetic right now. But I need to go out and do things. Sorry to any those of you who were doing things with me, but with the way I've been feeling for the past several months it seems to be either this or just quit EVERYTHING and I don't want to do that.
Sigh.
This has just been sort of a rough year so far, I need to chill out away from computers and everyone I know, for awhile. I need a change of scenery! So. I'm heading up north to the internetless wilderness of the upper peninsula, to visit the grandfolks for a couple weeks. Wilderness always make me pretty enthusiastic about life again, so I'll probably, you know, actually roleplay when I come back. Cool, right? I think so. ;)
I should be back around June 10 or so? Maybe a bit sooner.
See you guys later!
Lol, out in the wild with no chance of internet. You'd better bring books!
I'm bringing dozens of books. o.o Maybe some clothes, too. :D
Alright, folks. Today is the move day and I have a zillion freakin' things to do on almost no time. Definitely not going to manage net time today, and we don't have it hooked up at the new place, yet. Hopefully, that will come within the week. I can still be reached through text, and can even access the board through my phone to a point, but it means I won't be posting much of anything until that's straightened out.
Hey guys. I bring bad news.
Listen, sorry about this, I know I just said hiatus, but honestly? I do not have the time to keep on posting here, like at all, for the foreseeable future. I've got too much on my plate and the result of this is that I feel like I'm about to flunk all my classes, I got a C on the last art project that I actually finished and I'm a art major and to make it better it was the area I want to go into and given the amount of time I had I was actually fairly HAPPY with a C, I have no time anywhere, posting here wouldn't be fun because it would be more time that I could be spent not failing my classes, and in a mostly unrelated note that was nevertheless apparently the final straw, I just killed my fish.
Anyway, the result of this (and many more things, to be honest, but that is long and complex and I don't want to bore you all) is that I'm dropping. Sorry, it was fun, I enjoyed posting with all of you. Possibly some day I'll be able to come back, but that day is not today. Anyway. Really, I'm sorry about this, this is by far the rp I've been around for the longest. Maybe I will get a chance to come back (or maybe my will power will crumble and I'll be back sooner than I thought, though I'll try not to let this be the case) but... yeah. I just can't handle this and college and everything else right now, so. I'm really sorry about this and I'll miss you guys, but I can't do it. I probably won't be online much either, as, you know, totally not flunking out of college sort of takes shotgun right now. Again, I'm sorry.
Bluemoon out.
Alright, any of you that still care other than Angie, I'm going to be away for about a week, starting Friday/Saturday at midnight. That's August 8-15th. Heading down the Myrtle Beach with a friend's family. I might bring the computer with me and see if I can get wifi, but for obvious reasons, I don't plan on sitting online often.
