I should've started this earlier =)
Anyhow, giving everyone a chance to react before I continue in any way. Please try and organize your comments so I'm not hammered. If you want to forgo your comment, fling a note here OR post a reaction without comment OR (don't) just be silent till tomorrow.

It's been 4 days since Ryder's last post. There has been no notice publicly or privately of being away. This is exaceberated by being in combat. As these boards should be being checked at least daily, that's really not acceptable.
Ryder, you have until the end of today (10 pm my time) to either post in game or give me some reason here (a good one) why you aren't posting and where you went to the last four days of play.
Dracos
Dex has indicated a severe personal issue. We will be stalling that thread for the second. The other players will be allowed to continue. I expect to resolve this one way or another by monday or so.
We'll see how it goes.
Dracos
Okay, I know I've been lax...but guys, what's up?
Dracos
Statuses I've heard:
Olg: Out of it for the moment
Hal: Moving
Ryder: Moving
Shuk: ?
Rat: There.
Dex: Gone.
Grawr.
I'm declaring a break until saturday.
I'd like to see some manner of acknowledgement here.
I'm also trying to hunt down shuk and find what's out on that end.
We'll start hopefully on saturday morning with 3 or 4 of the players 'able to play'.
Dracos
Poke to shuk.
Dracos
Poke at entire party?
Dracos
WE WILL BE RECONVENING ON SATURDAY 9 PM.
If you have lost track of where we are, please read the last page or so to recenter yourself.
I'm thinking an IRC run 3 hours of gaming. In #wasteland. We'll post logs afterwards.
If there is disagreement, tell me. I've got no disgruntlement as my focus is folks having fun.
Dracos
Okay.
Um... you know my situation. I work nights on Saturday.
I think, due to the reality of timing issues... that Ryder is going to end up dropping out. I've talked with him on it and the reality as it stands is that I can't GM much post midnight and he can almost never play premidnight. This is a genuine issue and while I've given some try to it...I don't think it's going to work out. I'll take over his character in bringing him back and working him off camera and we'll see how it goes from there.
Dracos
Quick Refresher for everyone:
Ryder left with Yomi to scout out one of the places on the map. He should be back soon. At current, it is believed he's character will be NPCed for the foreseeable future. I'll likely work him out slowly so that I'm not dealing with two NPCs at once.
The rest of you meanwhile have taken a 'job' from the Don of the Wright family to figure out where this supply of a new drug is coming from. Mr. Wright has indicated that he believes it is the Ronspecio family that is behind it. The word on the street that Leets got though indicated the Targo family, and as such, you guys decided to go to the major Targo Casino near the center of town. It's a pretty big place, but given lots of folks go in and out of it, you've had no trouble getting in and scouting about.
Mei, at last action, was checking out the doors and discovered that there are a few guarded doors around the sides of the inside of the casino main floor. She spotted what looked like some rich people heading through one past a bouncer.
Jan is at the bar trying to get some information from the local drunks and such. There doesn't seem to be any direct Targo family here, and no one has seemed to know anything yet, but he noticed the bartender paying close attention for a moment when he brought up the drugs, almost as if he was nervous.
Clyde has entered the casino, but has not declared any actions yet. It is assumed he's just sort of blending in with the crowd at the moment, possibly overwhelmed by the noisy and flashy culture inside.
Leets has entered the casino, but has not declared any actions yet. It is assumed that he is blending in as is his expertise. With such a crowded place, he'd be practically invisible.
Dracos
I'll toss up logs before gametime tonight.
Dracos
Okay, how is this pace for you guys? Is it decent? Too slow?
I can pull off a third session during the break or we could try for slightly longer sessions on weekends.
What do you guys think?
Dracos
Okay, in repeated bad luck...this weekend is new years.
What do you guys want to do? :\
Dracos
I've touched base with everyone save Rat.
I expect thus for folks to be there since pretty much everyone indicated they'd be free.
Dracos
Gonna get up logs today hopefully. Shuk, if you could, send me logs.
Dracos
So, last night my enclosure sort of died. This kind of prevents me from accessing a fair bit of information.
Most notably, both iddy game logs and last night's log.
So if those could be sent my way, that'd be great.
Dracos
I still seem to not have them. Can someone either post them or give them to me to post? Have sunday's log, just don't want to get out of order.
Dracos
All logs are up. We're back to 3 players, soon to four, which is sorta good enough. I can work with that. Everyone okay with our current schedule and all?
I know we talked about moving back an hour regularly, but I'm not sure I can manage it this term.
Dracos
Just as a note, you guys are heading towards the end of act 2.
The mountains and the deserts will be several weeks travel by car and boat from where you are.
Okay...
Pending disaster, we're back on this week.
Intents from the GM side:
Before:
I'd like a brief period with the whole group discussing on what's going to happen next.
Saturday:
Wrap up the maurader deal. Leets has a bit left to finish. Felix and Mary can patch themselves up and find him as well.
Sunday:
We'll be starting up about a week out from last session. This'll be either heading to the desert or heading to the city. Or elsewhere. Depending on what you want.
Dracos
Are we ever going to get something high speedy? Or maybe a Viki?
Well, yes. But as in console RPGs, having space ships with laser cannons right off the bat would render most of the rest of the quest trivial and boring.
You've got a car which is, in context, pretty fast for covering huge portions of the world.
Dracos
I demand a Gummi Ship! With Chip and Dale as the pilots!
Chip and Dale are the mechanics, not the pilots...
No they're not...Gadget is the mechanic! =p
R-r-r-r-ressscue raaangers.
Dracos
Possible wasteland this weekend. Normal Times.
Dracos
For when Drac and the others notice this, just wanted to start up a dialogue going on.
Issue one: Where are we going from here? We totally got owned by the devil that pre-emptively got released.
Issue two: Starstone hunt over? Isn't like we can use them with the demon breathing down our necks.
Issue three: Fizbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. ;_;
Issue three: FIIIIIZBAAAN~...
Anyhow, I'm back. Getting my notes in order and a large post ready to cover the month or so that we're timeskipping. Warning, I might vanish in a week o so as I'm moving to pittsburgh.
I'd like everyone to ring in and let me know what's up with them, even if I should know.
Ryder would like to come back in and pending no disagreements, I'll let him in for a set of five again.
Olguin, I'd like you to contact me about Jan.
Anyhow, if you've got game questions, ask. I'm getting stuff ready.
Dracos
Okay, I'm back. I'm sorry about the delay, working to get it started again today. Sorry about all that.
Dracos
Sorry, I'm beat today. I'll get back later today or tomorrow.
Dracos
Okay, grad school is pretty hectic. Now that my keyboard is fixed, I can post again, but primarily, the game is going to rely on you guys posting so that when I do have 5 minutes to post (rare it appears) I can do so rather than find I still have last post.
Dracos
I've said it to Iddy and Merc, but I'd like to encourage all of you guys. Whenever you're alone you guys can do a scene. Heck sometimes when you aren't but you notice I am, bug me and I might be able to.
I can't run regular irc, but there's no reason why interpersonal communication in the party has to be zero.
Dracos
I intend to slowly start this back up this weekend. Post working willing.
Dracos
Forum glitching sucks.
Especially with it showing month old forum status.
Dracos
Sorry for the delay, Crunch is pretty fierce over here right now. Haven't had mental energy for posting.
