Re: Resident Evil 2: DISCUSSION THREAD
Greetings everyone.
UPDATE and conclusion:
With each passing week I held out some kind of hope that things would improve.
After assistant manager lady quit around Super Bowl time, we lost a ton of drivers, followed by another manager, followed by a third manager, and we're about to lose a fourth manager at the beginning of April. All of these managers were replacements from out of town, and simply could not hack it. As a result of the massive lack of help at work, and the fact that I'm one of the few who seems to continue to show up to work, my off days have been rare and I've usually been too exhausted to do a damned thing when I get home.
The bad news is that this is only going to get worse.
It is now a distinct possibility that I am about to get a promotion at work. One which will move me from hourly to salary, and force me to take on a minimum number of hours and days at work.
This means that I either turn down the promotion (which, tbh, I am considering. I'm exhausted) or I accept, and if I do, that pretty much ends my ability to host games of any kind... ever.
My days will be 10-11 hours long, and I'll be even more exhausted than I already am.
It will never again be possible for me to host a game of this type, and hosting even regular, ordinary mafia game will be pretty much out of the question, unless I'm on vacation. And I can't run a game in 7 days.
Unless the winds of fate change rather dramatically in the next few weeks, I will need to retire completely from being a game host, and also cut back radically on mafia gaming in general.
With a heavy heart, I must give this long-delayed game its resolution. I did not anticipate any of this, I've worked at this place for several years and I've never seen the sort of business we've been getting, or the horrendous staffing and management problems.
Even if I decline the promotion, my hours aren't going to drop. There's just no way out for me.
I regret very much that I am unable to put this game back in gear. Fortunately we didn't get too far in, and its been on pause for a while, so I doubt very many of you will have missed out on too much, except what might have been. This game was supposed to be something grand and it just cannot be.
I'm sorry for all of this, but I want to end on a positive note.
Thank you all, my many friends, most of you have been players in games of mine (and vice versa) for several years, and to the newcomers as well. Thank you for signing up and thank you for participating, and chewing through all those rules and getting those orders in. Thank you to my co-hosts who volunteered to give me some help with gathering stuff together and getting it ready for me, and so on and so forth.
If, and this is a big if, my situation drastically changes, I have all of the game information, map, story, and so forth, all that data is saved. If it is ever possible for me to actually host this thing, I will absolutely invite back everyone who is interested in playing it out. I don't know when that will be, if at all. But it will always be a thing at the back of my mind that I wanted to see played out.
I realize this is just a game but it's rather heartbreaking for me to have to do this. I'm sorry if I haven't responded to PMs about the game. It's been frankly depressing that I couldn't do anything about this game I worked so hard on, and contemplating its early death has been quite saddening to me.
That's all I can really say about that. Thanks for everything, my friends.
