We all know that this is really losing its feel... You're right. Probably the main reason of this is because we have too much ideas to add on. And we can't just put all of it in on sitting. And by move out do you mean "disband this database" or "you are really moving out the wiki"?

Me, yeah I'm a bit idea less already. I will just finish Winter Soldier and more RPs to come. But hey. With or without this database, I'm still happy here with my newly controlled RPG. What I meant is that I'll retire. I'm 16, mate, in two years, I'll conquer this damn K-12 & move on to college (only good thing about K-12 is that I have two years to finalize my decision, my path). I can't stay, mate. I have to leave. After New Year, I might be off.

But I can't just simply leave in peace. For me to finally leave, everyone must act like I was never here. Yes, that means those who have terminators can no longer have them when I leave (for Fairy27, this won't matter since she's gonna enter inactivity, but you, mate...either you drop Cyphin completely, or you keep him but retcon every bit of him that has to do with being a terminator...DIRT can stay, his weapon can stay, but his origins, his abilities as a T-3000 (wall-phasing, limb-to-blade morphs, etc) have to go, & he has to be declared as something else entirely (only good part is that he doesn't have to be an emotionless OP robot anymore with strictly set traits). Means no one can talk about my Aliens, Predators, & Terminators. I could have left earlier, but the fact that there is still the Winter Soldier RP to finish is keeping me in, since I just can't leave my characters & concepts out of my sight.

As said, I just can't leave with the knowldege that my concepts & my characters are still out there. If I am to leave, all terminators have to be retconned, all events that have to do with my characters have to be gone.

In short, as a final favor, when I leave, I don't want anyone touching, handling, tampering, or using my characters or my concepts in any way (as said, act as if they were never there...), only then can I breathe deeply & retire in peace...

That is, unless I return. But still, this request will hold whenever I say I will enter inactivity, be it temporary or permanent. The year is still long, thoughts can still change...

I think I know the problem: we try making RPs with long stories we just can't carry out, aiming for some 3-4 threads, &, if anyone thinks of going random, I say I just don't play the game that way anymore. I think that the best thing to do is establish a plot, but short, only expected to last 1-3 threads before it loses its feel. If it lasts more than that expected life span, then it might mark the RP as a good one.
