Well, our first major story is coming to a close. And inside a year! Phew! There was a patch around September when I thought the whole deal would never get done. The players have shifted (not to mention the sides!) but on the whole, the feel of the game has been pretty constant. I am very happy and thank you all for playing. Plenty more parts in that game to come!
At this point we can look ahead to what comes next. In turn:
1. The first game still languishes while waiting for interesting plot development. The free-for-all game was meant to satisfy the desires of people like queeq who dislike the restrictive structure of the second game. It's also just meant to be mad fun, really. Is it worth perservering with or shall I shut it down?
2. The second game is pretty much going to carry on so long as I am here unless I am bombarded by hate mail about it. It has anothet two parts set out- they will probably take less time to play through- and after that it is a bit fuzzy, because it depends what happens, but eventually the plot will move onto the Clone Wars where all of you- on both sides- have vital roles to play.
3. Captain Rex wants to start up his own game. Other people starting their own games here was always part of the basic design, so I am certainly game to let him try (he will pitch his idea here shortly, I am sure)
However, some of you may have different thoughts about how to proceed, hence the poll I am posting here. Please give me your feedback as soon as you can.

IMHO, perhaps closing the first one (if I remember correctly, so I'm wrong again then, the last post was with Rex? A month orso back, before that, I think it was Phinney? months ago...)
By the looks of it, the second game is MUCH more active,
IF there is a third game (Rex his), I'm not sure...
Ofcourse, it's an RP-section and it's very good to hear that there are more stories and people whilling to make some...
But then you have two very big stories, it's not that it's going to scare away visitors, but more likely confuse people about it...
Ok, what I wanted to say:
I'm neutral in this one, I can't choose...
I've PMed all stuff to Ush if we decide to start my story. If we don't, I wasted almost an hour typing it up.
I am hoping to turn my story into a Light-side vs. Dark-side game like the current one.
I can vote for what to do with the 1st Anyone May Join game should be closed, no matter what. It's only a few pages, and the posts come every now and then, or, to put it bluntly, once a month or two. It's just not doing that well! I joined, and I only saw one chance of post. Especially when the bad-guy quits.
it wasn't wrong from the beginning,
it's just that people seeing the story don't know much about it so they don't dare to post dare, while the other story is more organised...
The free-form style is how about 95% of on-line role-plays are organised. It was how the old RP section in this forum was organised. It's more a group fan-fction thing. It's not my favourite format but it seemed od to drop that style entirely.
Rex, please feel free to vote- I want to hear everyone's opinion. Clearly I want your gane but I;d like that opinion reflected in the poll.
You too, yerss. You seem opinionated for someone who is 'neutral'; I'd rather you just voted how you like, it;s no good if I don't get an honest response.
Rex has indeed sent me some details. I am a little unclear about when the game is set but I am not sure if it is important. It will have opposed Jedi-based sides and Rex is adamant that no-one reads the other side's thread. Rex will be playing leading characters in both threads. I have been sent 'privileged' information about the game so I cannot play as a standard player; I'll be happy to contribute in any way that Rex wishes.

My only opinion is about the closing of the first one...
I said: it's good to see the RP alife with new stories (so that would be a vote for getting Rex's story here)
BUT there is a big(?) chance people get confused by it all (wich is negatif)
I'm voting for three games running, what the heck. But maybe we should start a new free-form game rather than trying to keep running the existing one since most everybody that started in it is gone. Something simple, for those who don't care for the structured games.
How about 3 structured games all run by different people and a couple of free-for-all games for when we are waiting for our turn in the structured games.
