I think posts would jump up a lot if Syl runs the Arc game...

All in favor of demodding Creator, say "Aye"!

Oh, dear. Perhaps I should yell at him in WoW.

Or create a disaster that it takes four mods to fix. :twisted:

I don't remember if Zephyr has anyone on the Arc. But I'm game either way.

Well, that's enough if everyone stays committed. The good news is that I have a pretty good back story for the setting and some planned events to get things going. Of course, since I plan to keep as close to the Pantheon model as possible, I'll have to figure out how to do random events and that kind of thing.

You guys can announce it if you want. I'll try to have something official ready (including explanation of the setting, both for those who are familiar with Pantheon and the Arc storyline and those who are not) by the end of the weekend.

Jay, you could try demodding Creator and see how long it takes him to notice. :twisted:

Done. Maybe I'll consider remodding him if he comes back and posts again...

I was going to say "The Arc," but that may be somewhat misleading. 'Scions of Eiran'? Or since it will probably be shortened anyway, just "Scions."

Is there reason to fear for the Watches future. It always seems pretty active in the places I post or visit. Granted we've lost a few regulars over the years [who was the guy who lived in Russia - he was cool] but hey, it happens. Shall we not send out an e-mail to all existing members inviting them to a party on a given day - like a reunion do or whatever! That would be fun.

[How many different members are logging in on average per day at the moment - is it much less or much as in the past?]

Dunno the actual figures. Usually between 20 and 40 on any given day (My view includes the people who were hidden, yours doesn't.)

I'm not toooo worried. Some people will still be fighting in the 'Tank in 10 years time, like they have for the last 10 years. :D

I like the sound of Scions of Eiran, although I need to look up exactly what all Scions covers...
