[up][up][up]I know, and we're already encountering problems and nobody knows where anyone is. This is a giant argument waiting to happen.

It's late. I'll try to get it moving properly tomorrow.

Two years, which is also the last time I GM'd anything. Since then there have been several other arguments regarding my skills as a GM so I'm really not sure how much I've improved since then.

Spaz, relax. You're more worried about what we think of you than you are about delivering a fun plot. You can't let a few stumbles throw you off.

Do you guys have any idea how much I was panicking behind the scenes of my own plot? Juggling so much at once, dealing with a few ideas I decided were stupid right before executing them and having to find something to replace them with, all the pms I had to send to make sure people stayed on the same page.

But I stayed focused and just kept putting one foot ahead of the other, and literally refused to consider whether or not I looked like I knew what I was doing.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

We're not gonna have a giant argument, Spaz. Please, for your own sake, chill. Put that fuckin' bullshit behind you and think of Hawthorne instead. Aside from the very minor little deal here, I have thoroughly enjoyed it thus far, so go a little easy on yourself and cease prognosticating doom.

actually, no spaz

You seem to be completely glossing over Hawthorne. Yes, that was a collaborative effort, but it was obvious that you had a heavy influence in it. Hell, you even "salvaged" something from the "trainwreck" that was Deluge in the end,and although I did drop out of that plot, that was more or less my fault there.

If you get worried you can always quietly pm me and we can work things out.

Okay.

Still, I'm not sure how much of that was Random and Addy and the million other things that went wrong and how much of that was me stumbling at every hurdle, but Deluge was supposed to be my "magnum opus", as it were, and it's pretty safe to say that everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong.

think of this as a new plot

a clean slate

focusing on deluge will only end up psyching you out, which is bad

The only reason my plot looked like it was going smoothly was because I kept all my problems and concerns to myself.

The GM isn't just selling an illusion of a fictional world, they're selling the idea that they're ready for everything, even though it's pretty much impossible.

I'm not saying you should do this, because it might not work for you, but I just want you guys to know that I was hiding a lot of cracks.

Look, dude, I know that was damaging and shit, but my meager time in that arc was very fun (the thing with the arm was baller was fuck, and you know that), and my meager time in this arc is very fun so far. Your writing is very vivid, and I'm able to picture the whole setting in my head very easily.

I am legit excited to see what all you have in store, so go easier on yourself.

Drawing not to scale.

Does this clear things up?

Thanks for the help. I'll consult this map again later.

Er... please don't. It's not a map, it's a rough sketch to help you guys figure out what I meant when I said you were in a ditch after the platform broke, and should not be consulted for anything relating to actual locations.

It's fine. I'll try to make an actual map later.

[up]I know, I can tell. That's on me for not giving you reasons to be interested in what we're doing, though.

Well, there aren't. I'm having enough trouble getting everyone in one place for the first bit of exposition as it is, because nobody really cares. They don't have a reason to. They don't care about the people or the location, and half of them are so jaded they don't even care their lives are in danger.

Your descriptions and dialogue are fantastic! Don't ever feel the need to rush through them.
