I’m sorry that I’m getting to this so late.
Between the delay with the last set of results and holidays kicking my ass both at work and home, I wanted to wait until after the New Year before I came back to post about Game Over.
As has been mentioned before, Game Over was suppose to conclude our two-card reunion shows; That still can be the case.
However, I will be completely honest with everyone. I was demoralized with some of the (important) no-shows, the lack of interaction on the boards, and the overall lackluster response to the show (and results).
I didn’t receive one segment. I was asked to come up with a few on the fly, which I did, but not one segment was sent in. Only one real request for an angle was pushed and the details were left pretty vague.
The response to the results weren’t there, summarized or not, and the response to the proposed Game Over card was pretty much non-existent.
I had a couple people ghost me (read: us) after agreeing to participate and I had a couple people pull-out of the second show after booking angles for it.
So as it stands, we won’t be moving forward with Game Over unless there is a super strong push from the remaining of you. And even then, we’ll have to have the numbers for it and have a card that makes sense. (Since the card I currently have up doesn’t seem to inspire many.)
So if this is it (until it isn’t), well, it was GREAT reconnecting with so many of you; It’s been years since I had the privilege to speak with a lot of you; Thank you all and we’ll see where things go.

That makes sense, Luis. I know for me personally it was harder to get back into RP'ing mode than I had expected (especially after the initial surge of activity), but efedding had been off the radar for so long and I had been getting my creative kicks elsewhere for almost as long that it was a struggle pulling Grimm back out of the void...as you can see by my attempts at those RPs.
I recognize that all sounds like making excuses, which is the worst, but it is what it is.
Anyway, thank you for bringing PCW back for a little bit. It may not have turned out as one might have hoped, but you did it, regardless.
And we should keep that Discord channel for random nonsense and life updates.

I totally understand being demoralized. For me, the biggest issue was getting back into the mentality of checking the boards, etc. again after not doing it for so long. Also, I'm sorry for not being any help with this. I know how much work it is and I should have been more helpful.
Whatever you decide to do is the right decision, imo. This place will always be special and even if there are no more shows, it was nice to reconnect. Also, I agree with keeping the Discord. That's fun to have around no matter what happens.

Not gonna lie, I'd been hoping this was more a shotgun revival style reunion show. Sorta like HAHA NOW YOU'RE HERE, TIME TO E-FED! Which I s'pose it coulda been, participation having been there.
It was nice feeling like a part of something again, I liked the idea of writing with people if we got that far.
The no-shows were demoralizing to me, too, seemed to take something out of it before things got started. Being left to do results on your onesies (I missed a mule request if there was one) couldn't have felt great after that.
Either way you decide, thanks for the last call. It was nice to wake them up for a little while.

Personally, and selfishly, I really enjoyed the opportunity to write another Rick Majors roleplay since it was almost exactly 25 years since I created him. That was pretty cool. So, thank you for that.

I still check here everyday to see how you guys are doing. I WISH I had the ability to be Whitey again, I just don't right now. Hopefully when I can, I'll find you all right here.
