Yes, yes it is. XD There will probably be openings a bit later, so I'll make sure to let you know.
Ok, we've made fairly good progress, but now we're waiting for Emma in all of them. I'll make it my primary objective to talk to her and find out what the story is with that.

Well, I officially fail at main plottage. x.X I know you guys probably want me to pull out by now, but I moved house, had a big crisis, ended up in the hospital, and I have no internet at home. I only didn't owe a post for op 3, although I DID just post in op 4, and I'm striving to post for 1 and 2 tomorrow and after-tomorrow. You can expect some pretty short and terrible writing since I've been really depressed and out of it, but I promise not to keep you all waiting again.
As for Wild Dog, I'm so sorry you got kicked out when the threads haven't even gone anywhere. I've actually got some ideas going for op 4 that you could fit into. Please PM me. x3

This is an OFFICIAL notice, so everyone MUST read! Not just because I love sounding official. x3
So, the time has come where our threads have pretty much gone nowhere in the past several months, and where people are risking being replaced in the main plot.
Currently at risk are Arizae, Silence, Talon, and Tiilyr, just because none of them have been on and most of my messages have gone unanswered.
I REALLY don't want to kick any of these guys out, but we really need to pick up the pace. They HAVEN'T been removed yet, and they have ten days to tell me or Angmor or say on here that they'll be around to post. On September 1, their spots will be open for the taking.
Also, I may add people to the list if people start dropping off the face of the earth over the next ten days. I'm happy with everyone in op 2, but the other ones, especially op 3... eerg. So PLEASE, post!

SO. After two days, I noticed that neither Talon or Tiilyr have even been on MSN for the past few weeks, Arizae has not answered my messages and Silence told me that she is dropping out.
Due to this, much to my supreme irritation, we have five open slots, and the plot hasn't even GONE anywhere yet.
People, can I please remind you that yes, stuff does crop up unexpectedly, but by joining the main plot, you're making a commitment that's supposed to be seen through to the end? I can understand one or two people having to go, but FOUR? It cannot be that hard to sign on and type 500 words every week or so. We all have lives, but 500 words takes... what, ten minutes? Seriously.
But I guess I can't really control it. -sigh- Okay, before you all start clamouring for these positions, let me assign some rules.
1. NO CHARACTER that is already in an op may take one of these positions. Each character may only be in one op, period. I'll only change this rule in the extremely unlikely event that no other characters want these positions. 2. These positions are first and foremost open to members who don't have any characters in the ops whatsoever. Even if someone who's in one or more ops post first, I'll see to those unparticipating members first.
So, I'm going to announce our open positions.
OP 1 1. A character trained in combat, preferably an archer, to guard the fortress entrance with Crim's character Crim. 2. A... dragon. I think nearly all the dragons are already involved in ops, so this may be a difficult order to fill, but that is my wish. For that reason, I'm offering this to Kat first, since she plays Saphira, and will only open it if she doesn't want in.
OP 3 1. The counterintelligence expert. They are partnered up with my character, Euryale Gorgophone, and will be dancing with her. 2. The tracker, partnered up with Nayeli's character Nayeli.
I would STRONGLY prefer that one person with two characters takes over these positions, as op 3 is horribly overpopulated.
OP 4 1. Person who... takes out enemy soldiers. No, I did not plan out my ops nearly as well as Angmor did.
So that's all five positions. You may begin killing each other for them as soon as Angmor posts to reinforce me.

Ok people, Em is absolutely right. This thing is moving way too slowly, even for RP standards. Now, I know that life is very good at getting in the way, but RPing is a commitment, the main plot even more so. As such, if it's you're turn and you don't post within seven days of the timestamp of the last reply, your spot will be up for grabs. There may be exceptions for extenuating circumstances, but not many. And anyway, posting within a week really should not be difficult. We're not looking for tremendous quality. Just whip one off really quick if you have to, we don't care. It's RPing people, not writing a novel. It's imperfect. There will be plotholes a mile wide, as well as people popping in and out with everyone just having to pretend they were there the whole time. But, if we do it quickly, it will be fun, and that's the whole point.
On that note, I also want you guys to do something for me from this point on: Start doing things. I mean, this is all my fault, but you guys have pretty much just done what I've told you to do, so much so that your posts have been pretty much unnecessary. This is your RP as much mine, so get creative! Make your character part of the plot! I know, I know, it's my fault that you're not. I know I grumble and piss and moan about it, but that's just how I'm wired. I've got plans, and I live in constant fear that you'll derail them. But that is ok. I also know that it is way more fun in the long run when everyone puts there own brand of creativity into it rather than just being led around by the nose by yours truly. Since when has being an admin given me any say in what goes on? I will never punish you for being creative, unless it breaks any of the rules. So please, ignore my disapproving grumbling and start putting in some things of your own! I may ask you to change some small things occasionally so that matches with my plans somewhat, but that will be rare. In fact, if I am borderline pulling my hair out, you're doing it right.
So let's get on this! If we all step up, this can be the most fun thing we have ever done yet!

NEW!!! OP 1 IS ONCE AGAIN FILLED. ARYA DROTTNINGU is taking Za'lyyr's place and SAPHIRA is taking Jekarta's place.
Here is op 1's new posting order, as well as op 2's just to remind people.
OP 1 Angmor Arwen Crim- current turn Kat Emma Don
OP 2 Angmor Kano Rah Phrost Formula- current turn Emma
STILL OPEN POSITIONS OP 3 1. The counterintelligence expert. They are partnered up with my character, Euryale Gorgophone, and will be dancing with her. 2. The tracker, partnered up with Nayeli's character Nayeli.
I would STRONGLY prefer that one person with two characters takes over these positions, as op 3 is horribly overpopulated.
OP 4 1. Person who... takes out enemy soldiers. No, I did not plan out my ops nearly as well as Angmor did.
Whenever someone drops out of an op, and their character/s are replaced, your character/s will act like the new people were there all along. Does it make sense? Not at all, but we have neither the patience nor the flexibility to handle characters going in and out of markedly private, exclusive operations like these. Therefore, characters that are replaced will never have been in the op, no exceptions. Even if someone replaces your character one post short of the thread ending, it will be THAT character who completely participated, not yours. That's just how it's going to work from now on.

On op three, I have a weak shade that does well with being a tracker. Part wolf, or sometimes all wolf, so he could fulfill that role nicely. As for the counterintelligence, I do have a prophet ch who has followers in all areas. But thats about it. For op four, killing guys sounds fun. Have a elf who enjoys doing that. Thought might not be able to work with other elves

Don, I haz SOMETHING SPECIAL planned out for you, MUAHAHAHA. Check thy PMs!
Okay, Wild, you are officially added to op 3's roster! It's also your turn to post now, so you can go ahead and do so. You're also currently number one on the list for op 4, I'd just like to see if anyone else who has no characters in any of the ops wants in.
A fighter position is still open for op 4, all you non-plotters! If it's not taken by the 25th, the position will go to Wild.

Alright, I have one spot open in each of my ops.
In Op 1, I have a need for a warm body with at least an above-average specialization in ranged combat, working with Arya outside the ruin to make sure that no one gets out. Replacing Crim Harrowmont in the posting order.
In Op 2, I have need for a clever, sneaky sort of person, preferably skilled in the arts of infiltration. If anyone out there has a bored werecat, this would be the place to put them. This is not a requirement, however. Replacing Maeve in the posting order.
For both people, should you decide to come in, it would be your turn now, so we would need those posts promptly. I would also require you to actually read the threads to find out exactly what's gone on so far so that you can post accordingly. If you're interested, either respond here or drop me a PM!

Crim, if you're about to backtalk the staff, especially Angmor, you can consider yourself out of the main plot entirely. You were gone for well over a week, playing World of Warcraft, as you said in the c-box, NOT working on posts. We said nothing about quality vs. quantity, and the main plot DOES have a reason to require speed over precision. If you can't keep up with that- and this isn't the first time you've given us crap about being slow with MP posts- you should not have joined.
On a more pleasant note, op 4's position will be open for one more day to any member with no characters in any of the ops before it goes to Wild. Also, we will be skipping over Nayeli this one time in op 4, as I am in regular contact with her and she has a very valid reason to be absent- she's getting married.
