Wow okay a lot of words but they are words that I really wanted and I think needed to see. This actually helps a lot in giving a new perspective, so thanks for that!

I don't actually have very much to say in response to your points because I think you nailed a lot of really good points here; all I really can say is thank you for giving your perception. We'll be doing our best to keep these things in mind going forward, since it does really cover a lot of things we hadn't really been conscious of. I'll admit that I'm really inexperienced when it comes to running/participating/any...thing... plot-related, but in this post and on plurk we've gotten a lot of advice and a lot of offers from players to help us out and I really want to get on tapping those resources.

So... yeah, we definitely messed up a lot in starting up this plot because of our own shortsightedness and we've been doing a poor job in working with our players and I think there's only so much apologizing we can do for that because what matters more to everyone including us is that we actually do the things we say we want to for our players. Which is what we will be working on once we get ourselves reorganized and refocused.

... Now I have put a lot of words but I guess the short of it really is, thank you for your words.
