Due to the lack of activity over on Chapter. 9, I have no other choice but to instill a deadline for the thread. If nothing happens by October 10, Saturday (Sunday over my end of the world), I will lock Chapt. 9 and in its place, will be Chapt. 10.
While this might be extreme, this isn't the first time we've faced a lack of activity. I nod towards the lull we faced during chapter three. Now, Chapt. 9 will remain canon and everything that has transpired will count for history.
As admin, its my job to see that the story of Animus continues to move. At the moment, and with Trist's return, we're working on new storylines and ideas that would give you and me, the players and residents of Animus, something entirely new and different to work with.
Whatever happens, I think about the Street Survivors thread which we did in the place of Chapter 3. Street Survivors came after a major lull in Animus. With the Sanitarium Massacre over and the Black Goat revealed we found ourselves at a stalemate. We lost a few members and those who remained banded together and salvaged what we had and pumped out an amazing chapter that practically dictated the course Animus is in today. Now here we are, with an influx of new members and returning members and for awhile back over at Chapter's 7 and 8, we had amazing streak of creativity that was almost overwhelming... Grey, Dan, Dale, and Jake were the stars of those treads!
Now, I understand that school's now in season and that many of us are scattered across different sites. But don't forget Animus, because we have barely even started the story. And know, that Animus isn't Trist's story or mine, Animus survives on each of our characters and our input. So its important to keep it going.
If there's something you aren't happy about, bring it up and we'll address it. If you have an idea, pitch it! It all starts with each of us and its the only way we can progress here.
