From what I remember, most of those are players who haven't returned since then anyways. I'll take a look at it and see what I can clean up.

I know I have one LG with Burnt - that one is definitely on the backburner (sorry, couldn't resist the pun  ) The idea was complicated (tldr; Murder on the Orient Express where players can send in any action they want) and the rules need to be simplified for it to be playable and that takes time and energy we don't have right now. But that wouldn't have been marked (feb-may) anyway.

Return of Striker? Perhaps?

Sorry for disappearing for a long time. Just popping in to say that I will potentially be back for a bit now. I'll be on a trip near the very end of the year/start of next year, but I could probably run a game if it would end before that. Any idea when the next MR will need to start?

The QF starts tomorrow, so… two weeks? It only has seven players, so if you can manage it I think TUO would appreciate that. You know, just if that works for you.

Welcome back!  

[The Unknown Medallion he/him]

The MR should start in the very near future.

@StrikerEZ 

You're down as an anonymous blackout, but I think the anniversary game will likely be too close for that.

We've also been throwing around non-spot talking simple games due to inactive players.

I should be around to run something over winter, but that’ll probably be the next LG. I could piece together an MR though.

[StrikerEZ he/him]

If I have to wait two weeks or so, I probably won't be able to run the game. I'll be going on a trip for marching band during most of the next MR's run time. Also, I probably wouldn't run my anonymous game right after coming back from a few months hiatus.

I said two weeks before the QF lasted two days  You could probably put up MR signups tomorrow (since the QF doesn’t technically end until later today at the earliest).

Hmmmmm, well, that might be possible for me then. It would be cutting it close to the trip, but it does look like games have been running pretty small lately, it looks like. I need to go back through and look at the rulesets I've got queued up in my google docs. Would it be possible for me to post signups tomorrow but start the game next Sunday? I can't remember if signups have to be at least a week or not.

I’d say go ahead.

[Ookla-son-son-Ventyl]

I might have to postpone my LG until the summer of next year. I’m just too busy right now, and probably will be even during next semester cause of both school and the eight million different band things I’m doing. Expect a return of Ventyl though during the summer! Maybe I’ll play a game over my winter break, but no promises.

I can switch my QF for an MR Wait nevermind I'm gonna be gone for a week and a half in about half a week.

[StrikerEZ he/him]

So, I forgot that finals were a thing that takes up time in my life.

Unless it’s fine for me to wait to post signups Wednesday morning and still have signups end next Sunday, I don’t think I can run the next MR.

[Elandera she/her]

I just finished cleaning up up the GM sign-up list. Please let me know if I have missed any sign-ups or removed slots that should have been there. 

The following people I have marked as inactive. If you dispute inactivity, or want to be marked simply as busy, let me know and I will restore it. If you're busy without a likely date for return, consider keeping it as inactive for the moment. This does not mean you are not able to play, simply too inactive to GM.

I’d say you can count me as inactive for now. Once I get into the hang of things next semester I might be able to run a game, but I doubt I’ll have the time till next summer.

Sounds good. How are you on the MR? I am next in the list and can get my rules finalized and posted if you're too busy.

Yeah, that would be ideal. I'm just too busy these next couple of days to get it posted and also I'd have to push the start time for the game back. Which would probably mean my trip with the marching band at the end of the year would interfere with the end of the MR.

[Experience he/him]

Yep, def don't have time to run anything rn

[DeTess she/her]

@Elandera responding... to let you know it's fine to leave me at inactive for now. I definitely do intend to return at some point, but my life is very busy and chaotic right now, so I have no idea when that will be.

[+Lotus she/her]

I'm still around and totally up for running a game sometime, just had to take a little bit of a break getting back into school but I should play some more games soon

I would assent to being marked inactive in the sign-ups record-keeping.

I think I would GM if somebody I've talked about running a game with before pinged me, but otherwise I don't have intentions for GMing for at least a little while.

[Ashbringer he/him]

Speaking of game running, are we planning to have one more LG and then the AG or just jump straight (ish) into the AG? I could theoretically run an LG over winter break, but even without insane Shard rules I'm not touching the AG.

I forget when the AG is supposed to be.

Signups for the AG usually go up at the end of December. I think we've decided to wait, since even a short LG would likely run into the AG if signups went up tonight.
