It pains me to say this, but we're done. Thank you to those who have participated and followed along these many years. We had a lot of fun, and your contributions will be remembered for a long time to come.

Strangers and visitors of the future, please respect what is ours. If there is anything in the form of writing or rules you'd like to borrow for your own RP, please e-mail me on the gmail account "onsoku" for permission. Chances are I'll grant it if you are a nice, intelligent person, and agree to just a few small stipulations regarding proper crediting method. But please, leave our characters alone.All fan-made, original, non-SEGA characters, character art, and concepts remain property of their respective creators. Please show respect and don't try to take any of them for your own use.

I hope that some of us will be able to move on and have some more fun writing hobbies in the future. No matter what, we'll stay in touch, and this group will live on, even if it has nothing to do with RP.

I love you guys. God bless.

Following some confusion over what RP threads are happening on which days, I've revised our thread numbering system, and declared the Westside Island segment of our story to be "chapter 2." Here's how it'll work:

In parenthesis after RP thread names will be the chapter number and the "day" (such as Day 1, or Day 2, etc.) For example,

Thread name (Ch. 2, Day 1)

If there is more than one thread happening simultaneously, both will have the same notation of (Ch. 2, Day 1), but if there's another thread that takes place later on that same in-character day, we'll add "pt. II" to it, like so:

Thread name (Ch. 2: Day 1, pt. II)

Once the sun sets for that day, and a new day begins...

Thread name (Ch. 2: Day 2)

And, if there is a time-skip in which we pass over a bunch of days (such as what we did in our current chapter, since everybody elected to skip the qualifier matches in Vince's boxing event), the day number will reflect that. So, it's perfectly possible to go from Ch. 2: Day 2 directly to...

Thread name (Ch. 2: Day 7)



WHAT DOES THIS CHANGE ACCOMPLISH:

There will never again be any question about when a thread takes place. You will always know that a thread marked "Ch. 2: Day 7" takes place 5 days after "Ch. 2: Day 2," no questions asked. This also allows us to do "retroactive" threads without any confusion, such as if someone decides they want to play some minor log event or other thing that takes place on, say, Day 3.

Thus, the numbering system is more intuitive and will hopefully avoid confusion in the future. If you have any questions about it, feel free to post here, and they will be met with extreme prejudice.

I am so in favor for this. That kind of confusion has prevented a full understanding on my end for a long time.
