OOC Info The Common Room

[Zandelia]

I'm very happy for you Perpy. And whilst I shall feel sad for losing the best ST I've had in some time it will be tempered by the fact that your life is going places professionally.

You've gotta do what you've gotta do for you and yours. I respect that. And I respect the fact that you took the time you did to help me out when you didn't have to.

Best wishes for the future and when you return perhaps we can thread about random stuff to distract you from your job, etc

Be the best you can be, that is all I would say. It is a good motto for all to live by.

Hello Zeltiva,

I am sorry to say that at this point my only goal is to organize what needs to be finished, outline my notes, plots that are on-going or were planned, and detailing a lot of information for whomever may be taking over for me when I depart.

I got your messages. I will be addressing as many as I can before I leave, rest assured. Some plots I am putting together notes to be offered up to those who might be willing to Guest Storytell. Beyond that though, development of actual locations, NPC's, factions, etc. have ceased.

I want to help all of you. I really do but in the amount of time I have left I simply don't have the time to answer every question sent to my inbox from roughly 25 different people at least 2 times a day. There have been roughly 40 messages sent to me in the past 3 days alone. Most of them questions pertaining to various aspects of the city. Unfortunately I will be departing earlier than expected and so my entire focus is devoted almost entirely to situating things so that a mess isn't left behind for someone else to clean up. I want to be able to provide detailed information so that when others may step in, they can simply pick up where I left off and take things in a direction of their choosing with some guidance from what I left behind.

So, please, be patient. Breathe. Bear with me. You will get answers before I leave.

Regards,
Perplexity

Hey there Zeltiva! I'm looking to complete the seasonal challenges this season. It's a big task, so I'm going to need you guys' help. I need to learn to play an instrument and gain 10 points in a starting skill (singing, in my case). Therefore, I need to start a musical thread. If anyone can help me out, or if anyone wants to be terrible at music with me, shoot me a PM.

Hello Zeltiva,

You may now find a roster for NPC's that exist in the domain here. The list is not quite complete as far as adding existing NPC's goes. I will be adding them all over time. However, feel free to start utilizing it to your hearts content.

Even though I'm not in Zeltiva, I just wanted to say thanks for all your fabulous work Perplexity. You've done a lot of amazing things as a ST and a PC and it shows. Best of luck in your professional career, and we'll all be excited when you return.

[Orin Fenix]

I want to second what Sayana said. Also, if as you said it would be helpful to have a few volunteer GSTs to run some plots until a new ST shows up I'd just like to volunteer myself. We hope to see you back here sooner rather than later but take all the time you need for yourself please!

Hey guys,

Just thought I'd drop this update of mine here, to save flooding half of you poor guys' inboxes with a group PM.

Thanks,
And I wish I could have been more help in supporting our lovely little city as it transitions.

Hey everyone.

Just a note, I've dropped my two Poltergeist investigation threads, freeing up the 31st and the 17th for all of you intrepid investigators out there. I need to trim my threads down a little and get some solo work done, so I will surely still be full steam ahead in Zeltiva!

Hello Zeltiva,

I strongly advise that if you have questions or issues pending with your character contact me as soon as possible. If your wage request is still sitting in my office it is because there is an issue that you need to address. It is likely as simple as the threads are not complete. If you need clarification please approach me at your earliest convenience. (Sooner rather than later.)

On a side note, Certificates of Completion. They are guidelines. Nothing more. You don't need permission to pursue them. Design them however you like. As long as you pay for the courses each and every season then you are free to study what you like.

On to a more personal note, I am stepping down as Domain Storyteller of Zeltiva at some point this weekend. This coming Monday, Perplexity will be a grey name. I want to take this time to say that it has been an honor, a privilege, and a joy to serve each and every one of you. We might have had our difference at one point in time or another but that has not made me appreciate you less. All of you have beautiful stories to tell. I just wish I could be around for a little while longer to see to it those stories shine as brightly as possible.

Where does that leave me? As I'm sure you've all noticed my activity has trickled downward to become very focused. My attention is directed toward only a few things at this point. Mainly, what is completely vital to a character's progression. A situation where my involvement in necessary for them to proceed in the direction they want their story to go. I've pretty much wrapped up my involvement with what I can and will be aiming to finish what needs to be addressed over the course of the remaining week and weekend before I step down.

Domain Quests have been paused. I have left behind extensive notes for whomever my successor might be so that in the event they are picked up, the intent, progress and goal of each and every quest I did not finish is outlined. Development for the domain has been slow. However, I aim to finish a few more things before I step down. The University rewrite, wealthy estates and the Wave Guard to name a few. I'm nearly finished with several of them. I will likely be releasing all of them this weekend. Additionally, I will try to post an advisory list on what I think Zeltiva might need in the Quarterly Report development thread.

As far as administrative tasks, I am tending only to what is vital to character logistics (i.e. jobs, wages). You are still more than welcome to ask me questions and I will answer them as best I can as soon as I am able.

Where will I be? I won't be gone completely. At least not at first. I will still be around on and off on my PC for a little while. For those of you who know who that is you're welcome to approach me and if I can help you in the capacity of a player, I will. However, I will eventually be gone completely for a great length of time. I have every intention of returning to Mizahar when I can and hope to see many of you involved in big exciting things when I do!

Thank you all for your kindness, your brilliant, funny, wonderful ideas and for the honor of serving as your Domain Storyteller while I could.

With Love,
Perplexity

Just out of curiosity, would anyone be interested in a game of Bambard Ball? I was just browsing locations and such and stumbled across this: http://www.mizahar.com/forums/topic57889.html I thought it might be a cool thing to try out (if that was okay!). If anyone's interested, feel free to PM me! The more the merrier!
