EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT PEOPLE! Buffy has quit the board due to the level of inactivity. She made me into a mod before she left asking me to keep the board alive. While an enthusiastic and active player I DO NOT HAVE TERRIFIC ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS and if we're going to have any chance of getting this board off life support I'll need massive help.
First things first if she's not doing a U turn and coming right back we need a Buffy and I've not seen Giles on for a spell so if we can't reach him I'd say we need one of those too. I'm going to ask everyone who is still interested in playing her to check in and make suggestions. I'd like to get us back to in game action ASAP but I'm likely in a bit over my head.
Thanks , Robin

I'm still around. I don't really have any suggestions at the moment, but I'll be thinking about it.

I'm willing to help too if you need it. That explains why Buffy hadn't replied to my post I made a few days back.

Tadhg is going to give Willow a try. I'd like to let that be done so Faith isn't completely alone as a canon and staff member at the academy. If by the time Willow is ready we do not have a Buffy or Giles etc. I am willing to start a minor social interaction thread or create a "little bad" to give us something to do in game. We can make an excuse while Giles and Buffy had to go off and take care of something leaving Faith and Willow in charge.

That sounds like a plan. Maybe if we were a bit active with social/small threat threads it could attract newer people to register. Are we cleaning up the board of dead threads?

A cleanup would be a good idea. Though, I think instead of just deleting them, it might be a good idea to make an archive forum or something.

OK when I get a chance I'll archive some stuff. I'm not deleting any accounts but people who don't check in within a reasonable period after we start again in game will forfeit their characters to NPC status and adoption if anyone wants them for any reason.

That's good, sounds fair.
There are some people who haven't logged in since December (Cordelia Chase, Dawn Summers, and Megara Price) for example. Do you want to go ahead and make those canon characters available again? I think at this point it's probably safe to say they aren't coming back.
The original characters, will they be available for adoption too? Making them into NPCs makes more sense, unless any of them had already done something really plot important. I know I would feel weird if I came back and saw a character I'd created had been adopted by someone else.

Honestly unless Giles checks in soon Faith is the only canon I consider 100 percent taken. Yes, NPC status is the most likely destination for original characters who no longer wish to play. I've seen plenty of games where they are then killed off. I don't plan on having a mass execution or anything but I think they are fair game if we need something like that to move a storyline along.

I've emailed all key past players aka anyone who was a canon or had a high post count. I think this is fair and if any canon does not check in by say........Friday? we can with good conscience recast them.

So it will be OK to interact and start a little RPing by Friday?......

I really hope so. What i'd like in game is a Giles and Willow or someone to be in charge of the watcher and witch students respectivley (Faith can handle the slayers at least untill we get a buffy) OCC I'd like some new admins so we can bounce ideas off of each other and keep a solid larger plot going.

Cool, I'll try to have a Giles application ready by Friday. And I suppose I can go ahead and volunteer for admin responsibilities if you want me.

Yeah I think an approved Giles account would be eligible for admin duties provided you want them. The same would probably be true for Willow and Angel (whom Tadgh and Mina are talking about respectivley)
