Alright, I've come to a realization over the past few weeks. When fall semester of law school starts during the first/second week of August, I'm not going be able to much with it. My prospective schedule with legal work will leave me little time to move the saloon along.

Talking things with Zill, he doesn't want to continue the saloon should I leave (mostly because he's lazy) (mostly because he has a job and whatnot).

So ultimately, I will request the saloon be closed and locked during the first week of August.

Understanding many of you have contributed, or just starting to contribute, I am tempted to leave it open (during the off-chance I might post something).

Alternatively, (as proposed by Plamsarobo to me a while back), a new thread could be started with whatever remaining contributors stay.

That said, I'd like some responses as to whether the saloon should be closed, continued as is, or closed with another thread replacing it.

I mean, I'm working on a personal piece related to Plasma and tangential to Burning Skies, so I think I'll be taking a bit of a break until that's in a place I like.

But if people do want to have an alternate thread (and Zill or someone with more history than I doesn't want to run it) I can help out, even if Plasma doesn't show up.

I think it'd be okay to close the Saloon for a bit.

Well honestly, the burning skies has really evolved from the original concept, which was go the the saloon, have a few rounds, and rp that. Now we have all these arcs, people jumping in, our char's still growing, ect. While Yiski might not be at the forefront, this rp is a living thing that is greater than only one of us.

That said, I think a new thread could be made (Anvala Skies?) using the same format, but Yiski isn't forced to open/close every day, so he can rp more casual, still using the existing burning skies arcs. We could maybe take turns or have a pool for open/close to spread out the effort.

Thoughts?

I think the Burning Skies saloon -thread should be closed until Yiski gets more time to work as "the manager" of the thread. It is a thread that has evolved in the gentle care of people roleplaying there, and should be Yiski's. If Yiski goes, so should the thread until he can come back.

What I propose is a new thread without BS-saloon, but somewhere else (fully in the skies, docks or whatnot) where the roleplay can go on. I think the saloon could still be a place the characters visit, but the amount of roleplay there should be minimized until Yiski's return.

Also, I'd think I could hop on better in a new thread instead of nudging with my elbow to the established Burning Skies -thread, so partly I have my own cow in the ditch. :)

"Own cow in the ditch"?
Never heard that one.

But I agree with Mill and Zill (could not resist that one).
Burning Skies is Yiski, and perhaps scaling back the plot arcs will make the RP a bit more accessible to new folks.

I'd be fine with a pool of narration/closures.

I think that the Saloon's story arc could be brought to an end to give way for another thread, set in the same narrative, but not restricted to the Saloon itself. But one thing's for sure, if the Saloon was to end, it would have to go out with an explosion of awesomeness.

Plasmarobo, I just translated a finnish proverb without realizing it. xD

Don't kill the thread, though, as it could be continued at a later date.

While a good idea, I'm going to be very busy all year long. The only possible time I could even 'manage' the RP would be over my Winter Break which would give roughly 3 weeks of RP. All other times of the year, I'm going to either be working in a legal office or attending classes until 9:30 p.m.

I prefer the idea of a new thread continuing of the saloon.

Yeah, it is a reference to olden times when cows still roamed free during the summer. It means that someone is driving some idea or subject forward because he/she has his own benefit to gain, hence "my own cow in the ditch".

Wait so we are connecting Nidhogg Wyrm character to Yiski's kidnapping as well?
