Westeros: A Game of Thrones.

[Greyblades]

Eh?

[johnhughthom]

Okay, sorry guy. This game is over. I will not be back at the org. I apologise for leaving you high and dry like this, but I would appreciate it you don't try to contact me.

[Greyblades]

What. Why?

[Arjos]

O.o

I get it about the game, but leaving the org? :O

[Kival]

Oh. That's a shame.

[Montmorency]

Was fun while it lasted. Looked promising.

[Greyblades]

I dont understand was it the workload? Has real life problems come up? What?

[Arjos]

Well this game had me excited like a kid at christmas eve 24/7 since it started ^^
Was one hell of a concept, if one week is too stressing, let's move to a monthly thing...
But really JHT, hope to still see you around for some mafia games :)
I'm your Riddler! :P

[Montmorency]

Probably the fact that it took 12 hours to get these result posts/PMs out.

[Greyblades]

Yeah, but to up and cut all ties to the entire website without warning?

[Montmorency]

I suppose he will return, at some point.

[Greyblades]

He said he wouldnt be back...

[Montmorency]

Give it a month, or a year...

[Greyblades]

But by then I will have moved on. Everyone will have moved on. Yet another game lost without so much as sentance explaining it.

[Montmorency]

What's worse, we'll be old!

This forum's core membership seems to average 2 or 3 or 4 years since account creation. The 2007 cadre is particularly well-represented.

I think John probably needed a co-host. It is probably very difficult for him because these games do put you under heavy stress, especially when no one gets their way almost. I think he staying up till 5am, taking him like 12 hours or so, probably makes it feel like unpaid work.

Don't worry about the game if it is too stressful, no one will hate you or dislike you for it. Some people might stress about results but that is bound to happen anyway. Take a break if needed, but you are always welcome back here.

[Greyblades]

Noble sons, Cold war, Beefdom, Lassara, now Westeros. It seems that the games I get invested in dont last. I've gotten used to it, I guess, but I would like to know why this one ended.

[Kival]

I agree with Tiaexz. Quiting the game is completly understandable but you should not think people who are angered after the results have a personal grudge against you now.

[Arjos]

Let the man sleep guys, I get stressed waking up in the morning :D

It seems that the games I get invested in dont last.

Culprit!

Just messing with you, this game was/is MASSIVE, pretty much it :P
Anyway JHT is pulling everyone's leg and went to bed ^^

But hey if it's true, he has all the right to do so...

[Double A]

Gah!

This happens EVERY SINGLE TIME there's a strategy game in the org: It ends abruptly. I ****ing hate this ****.

[Sigurd]

Sorry to hear that you suddenly had to evacuate.

I really hope nothing serious (negative conjunction) happened in your RL John.
Take care and I hope you will return to us when things calm down.

Real Life always trumps online relations and commitments.

[Kagemusha]

Shame.Thank you for the game in any case.It was a thriller as long it lasted.
I dont think you should leave Org over a game.Take a break and come back when you feel like it. Games come and go and you should not take personally the spontanious reactions of people.
In my mind the game mechanics ,pushing so lot to the shoulders of host were somewhat self destructive. Speaking on experience as i hosted an interactive history that run more then couple years with about 20 human players playing different Japanese Clans in the chapter house.

If the decision of JHT is a final one considering ending the game. I have a large game slot open and i can take a jab at hosting a game with same theme. In any case it would not be the same game.As i believe some changes would have to be made in the mechanics and i think i might need a co host for all the work related to the game.

[Montmorency]

Should we reveal all of our secret doings and plans?

[Greyblades]

I'm curious what beskar was annoyed at me for.

I would really like to help out co-hosting: a florid theme like this one getting burnt is such a pity...
This turn I thought JHT had more of a "tech" problem with the PMs and so ended writing all the results in a rush...
Had he asked for a co-host I might have even dropped my character, I was really enjoying the game and its diplomacy in the background, but no game at all it's too bad...

If we can still keep this one alive would be quite nice, maybe with 3 hosts we can even manage the weekly pace by splitting tasks...
Unless no one trust us to remain silent with our former team mates ahahahahaha ^^

[Beskar]

John has sent me his files, I will be taking over as Host.

From what he has said, only Storm's End and Stark's need results. I will be attempting to get these out in some format tonight.

If you know some one interested as taking over as Stannis, let me know.

I might be amending some things or requesting for different format than John, I will be posting these up.

So the events of the last update remain?

[Ishmael]

Thanks Tiaexz!

I pity the person that takes over as Stannis, they could be in a better position at present....

[Beskar]

So the events of the last update remain?

Mostly.

It would be unfair for those who have had their fates decided to be thrown into a completely different situation. Then people know the results of if some one else was successful which might not be successful on a re-roll, etc. Especially regarding a certain marriage, for example.

So pretty much going to patch up the game and "refresh" from that point on...

Unless there is a big demand in a "restart".

[Montmorency]

Interesting. So your former faction-mates are no longer individuals?

I say keep everything that has transpired, finish up the result PMs, and get this rolling again!
