Now remember! This will be the regulation form for saying that you'll be leaving for a while (or forever, if it sadly leads to that). To keep people from posting here for just the shortest intervals, I'd like to ask you to only post an extro when leaving for more than two days (48 Hours)!
Departures AND Activity Drops will go here. If classes are slowing you down, tell us! If you're moving to another city, state, country, whatever, tell us! If your computer broke down, tell us! If you're busy, tell us! So long as you won't be posting, make sure to note it down so that we can anticipate your inactivity rather than waiting for nothing and not even knowing what we're waiting for! Tell us!
Long-Term Absences will require a "Date of Updating". Stuff like "[Date of Departure] - I don't know" is not allowed, nor is it any help, unless you're leaving for good. Instead, place a date when you will check back with us and tell us how much longer you need to extend your extro. One week after your departure would be nice. Now, if you'll be gone for quite a while, like more than a month, or the "I don't know" sort of thing, then it is advisable to post an update on your status ONCE A MONTH.

Length of Absence: March 12 - March 15
Reason for Absence: I have a major business conference in a remote province, and hotel wifi is simply out of my budget! Touko-san, I trust you and Hat Man to hopefully settle the key issues about the present matters by the time I return!
If any tie-breaking needs to be made, ask Mulan-chan for her input!

Post by Illyasviel von Einzbern on Apr 4, 2010 7:31:25 GMT -5
Length of Absence: April 4 - April 11
Reason for Absence: Major deadline is looming ahead, and a lot of work needs to be crammed on, so I might not have time to check up here. We're two issues away from starting the RP, dammit! TWO ISSUES! Action must be taken, and fast. If somebody pulls an activity check afterwards and it turns out less than half of the original players with reserved slots have lost interest, well, I can't say I can blame them.
If you guys (Touko-san and Hat Man) have any further difficulty while I'm away, take some advice from a friend of ours and consult with the Beast Lair, if only to speed things up. I'm sure that its super-high concentration of Nasuverse knowledgeables will be able to help you work things out.
Hopefully, things should have progressed once I return.
PS:
When I get back, whoever was running the dojo while Rin was hospitalized, is FIRED. Since Shiki-san and ice cream girl are the only people who actually hang around while Atomu-kun is running his route, they get the job if they can keep this place together.
Buraito-san, stop counting walnuts and get back here! I said your punishment was to count walnuts and do dishes for one month, not just count walnuts. Which means that you have to do dishes for one month now. You might also want to do something about that girlfriend of yours. She's now relegated to licking a 's feet in exchange for being saved from parasitic zombiefication.

Length of Absence: May 4 - May 7 May 10 - May 13 May 17 - May 20
Reason for Absence: Normally I wouldn't touch this thread with a 10-foot pole, however, life tends to throw you things which need to be done, this is one of them.
I have started three weeks of Work Experience, the days are listed above. I will be working from 9AM to 2PM. I might have some time on in between, but I will be heading to bed EARLY, instead of staying up chatting on the cbox.
Any day in between those times, I will be on.
It is also possible that I might get more weeks, if things go well.
PS
Hopefully, HOPEFULLY (As in begging pleading hoping) the Taiga route will be ready to resume during this time, or when I return. I am always wondering what's gonna happen next, and we aren't even half way through the span of two weeks. I really like RPing this route and it's something I always like to look forward to. So, I ask again, can I please be notified when the route can resume? You know I absolutely hate to be left hanging like this for weeks on end.
Yeah, you think three days is a test of patience, try three MONTHS, and counting.
Besides... it gets boring, and lonely, being in the Dojo all by myself.

Post by Illyasviel von Einzbern on May 10, 2010 2:42:23 GMT -5
Length of Absence: At least a week of heavily reduced activity
Reason for Absence: Computer seems to be giving in to the summer heat. It can't even stay on for 15 minutes now. Probably needs a new power supply, or worse, processor.
Inactive Character(s): Taiga, Lucy, well... not that these matter yet.
Post by Marisella Morena on May 13, 2010 22:39:41 GMT -5
Length of Absence: May 25th - June 2nd
Reason for Absence: I will be apartment shopping and then going to Dallas for a vacation to see family and ride roller coasters instead of the intolerable beach. Cause I can't do 100 degree weather at the moment it seems.
Post by Illyasviel von Einzbern on Jun 15, 2010 5:35:49 GMT -5
Length of Absence: Hopefully, a couple days; likely, the rest of the week
Reason for Absence: PC keeps hanging; when I start it, in the middle of activity, and sometimes, it doesn't restart at all. My guess is some hardware burned out, since I've been extra careful with the whole 'accidentally downloading viruses' thing, but I managed to back up all my files just in case. Money's pretty tight nowadays too, so I might not be able to afford those spare parts as soon as I would like.
Inactive Character(s): Kosviel (because, you know, some semblance of post RPing has started).
Post by Celestina Barbieri on Jun 16, 2010 2:07:23 GMT -5
Length of Absence: 16th June 2010 - 22nd June 2010
Reason for Absence: Business and most likely no computer and if... even less likely the time for anything. More IRL instead of Computer Chats etc. I won't be too active after my return either, because I'll have to catch up in some areas including my studies, but I might be on now and then.
Inactive Characters: The only active character so far is Celestina and the threat not advancing very fast, so it might be that I will be back for my post, but otherwise you can skip her once or twice.
There would be more cbox characters, but those who actually use it actively know the characters anyway and the others would not need to know. One for example: Mikoto.

Length of Absence: August 19th - 20th August 23th - 27th August 30th - September 3rd September 6th - September 10th
Reason for Absence:
Another activity drop.
Like last time, it's work experience, but this is at a factory rather than at a department store. I won't have to do much, but it involves getting up earlier than usual. I'll try to be on in the evenings to a certain point. Saturdays would be the easiest to do Taiga Route work if things get too hectic on weekdays/sunday nights.
PS. Observing the availability of everyone else during the day, this drop probably won't be as noticable as expected.
Inactive Character(s): Myself and that silent Spaniard.
Post by Illyasviel von Einzbern on Aug 27, 2010 21:12:58 GMT -5
Length of Absence: Hopefully no more than a week
Reason for Absence: After three good years of service, my LCD Monitor finally kicked the bucket. It's been showing signs of breakage the past few weeks, and I knew that it was really only a matter of time until it gave in to the power of the aging side. Which is why I've been trying to save up on it (with little success). Right now, I'm literally working with borrowed time on my brother's laptop, Which is to say, I don't have much of. Also, I noticed that the Word Counter script works on even Google Chrome, heh. But that's an aside.
This is just a precaution, but I'm pretty sure that I won't need to wait that long. A computer is totally needed for life, and especially if you're gunning for the same degree as I am. I'll try to sneak in a post when I can, but my cbox activity is definitely dead pending a new monitor.
I'm glad to have been able to witness the grand opening, before some other shit decided to mess with my activity here. Really sorry to you guys working on a Fire That Chills. I'll try to post there when I can. Anyway, as you can see, your pairs don't have to be fully worked out to start a thread, though Servants will probably would have a problem doing that. Anyway, enjoy, etc etc.
Post by Tetsuro Yochi on Sept 22, 2010 2:39:37 GMT -5
Length of Absence: Unknown. Weeks or maybe months.
Reason for Absence:
Yet another activity drop.
I don't seem to have the mindset to actually do forum posts lately, mainly because my bad leg is distracting me too much and I think it's getting worse. The fact that the minimum for each post is 250 words doesn't help either (Because in some situations, like a conversation, it's not that easy to type that much, which was why Enri and I came up with the MSN plan). I'll still be on the Cbox, but don't expect me to make any forum posts anytime soon. I apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Once my leg is better, I might be able to think easier about posting.
Inactive Character(s):
The Cid, for the time being.

Length of Absence: 3 Weeks
Reason for Absence: I would enumerate the number of requirements that are being crammed into this final period, but then that would just look like I'm putting together an unrealistically big excuse to not post. If you want to know the details, IM me, and I'll give you the details as soon as I can respond. My messenger is always online, even though I'm away.
I'll try to sneak in a post this weekend, and though I probably won't have much Cbox presence, remember! HAL-san is always watching~

Inactive Character(s): There's a sidebar on the left of the forum. Under "Staff", click on Taiga's drop-down list. Those are mine.

Length of Absence:
I have no bloody clue, it could be weeks if it comes to it (not likely). December should bring about an end to the shenanigans. Hopefully.
Reason for Absence:
RL is being troublesome at the moment. Nearly kicked out of college, inheritance issues, loan issues, more inheritance issues, could have possible failed my Accel musical appreciation course and that would cause more loan issues. It's the most troublesome year I've had, to be honest. That said, I shouldn't be disappearing for more then one week at a time unless things get reeeeaaaaaalllllllyyyyy bad. Things should clear up around December, if that's a consolation.
Length of Absence: I don't know, likely forever unless you have anything to say to me.
Reason for Absence: Frankly I don't even know if I could ever join this RPG at all, it's far too Nasuverse-intensive to quite an unnecessary extent, and the whole thing is really alienating for me (and I'm not saying that as a newcomer to Fate/stay night and related media).
There's also the fact I can barely keep track of what Heroic Spirits and Face Claims are available or not, with so many popping up rapidly on both the main RPG and the C-Box.
Lastly, even if you think what I said was really stupid or ignorant or anything like that, if I send a PM directly to an admin expressing my issues with this RPG, you could at least acknowledge or respond to it, not just ignore me (I didn't want to use the Questions and Suggestions forum as I felt what I had to say was too personal a matter, at least some of it).
Inactive Character(s): None really, I was never able to submit any.

While it is unfortunate that the Nasuverse often runs into critic, we are already allowing many things that are actually looked down upon by hardcore fans. There are rules that need to remain to have a Nasuverse RP. It is pointless to make an RP that is supposed to follow the Universe's Rules and then end up casting everything aside.
Some of the critic points were discussed and actually partly implemented. Several steps were actually already in progress before the pm, because the sudden burst of newcomers (welcome everyone) made it necessary.
The parts in the extro post were actually already implemented by the time of the Extro post and the c-box RP faces always present, although I can't deny that it is more complex than the real rp with its huge number of characters.
The c-box is still a medium to talk and ask questions. No ...well hardly anyone bites here. It would have been fast and easy to use that approach albeit slightly regretting that Ilya forgot to reply, but blaming the little kid would neither help nor is it necessary. Things take time.
As far as I am aware, the pm was not really old and you could have given a week for a proper reply, as some things just need to undergo discussion before a decision is made.
But you might be right when you say that this site is not for you. I still hope you can enjoy RPing on other sites and remain
Post by Enrica Mezzanotte on Oct 28, 2010 22:15:52 GMT -5
Length of Absence: around a week.
Reason for Absence: I was assigned with a rather huge project that came with a workload that piled up like an empire state tower. Unless I finish those up, I won't have any time for any other activity. Being an office lady is hard...
Post by Kuroboshi Kinou on Nov 7, 2010 11:57:48 GMT -5
Length of Absence: Undisclosed (Cos' that just sounds better than unknown. XD) Realistically, probably the rest of the year.
Reason for Absence: Well, a lot of reasons, but mostly just RL.
I'm going to keep this as less dramatic and painful as possible, but the fact of the matter is, I'm not really sure if I can afford to be on the board anymore. With internships, coursework, and the simple fact that "graduating by next year" is looking more and more like an impossible goal, I don't think I can just mess around here anymore.
I know it sounds like I'm probably over blowing the situation, or that I may even be coming off as a total dick, but believe me when I say that this was the absolute last resort I had in mind.
I'm sure everyone here knows the feeling of being distracted, especially when you get on the C-box and chat for hours on end. ^^ Well, I can't afford to do that, anymore. Nor can I afford to spend time writing posts and getting lost in the topics (all of which are wonderfully well-written, by the way) and stuff on the board, when I need to focus on what I'm going to be doing for the rest of my life. Something that I haven't known since I was five years old, which probably means I'm in trouble this late in the game. XD
Anywayz, it's not like I was an integral part of the plot or the board, so I'm sure you guys will survive with me. ^^ Still, as a member of the board, I realize that I'm failing to fulfill my RPing obligations, and for that, I apologize. To the people, if there were any, who were counting on me for something, I'm really sorry, but you'll have to manage without me.
And yes, when I write "probably the rest of the year" on the Length of Abesence section, I realize that it probably means you can start digging my grave. XD Unless you can find a nice coffin for me (marble, with gold and mahogany linings, plush upholstry for the interior and a T.V. with a PS3 inside for whem I'm bored) you can probably just cremate me. The only absolute thing I wish to be buried with me is my Lemony Narrator plaque, everything else is up for grabs, so feel free to kill each other over my stuff. ^^
Anywayz, ciao and see you guys around.
Inactive Character(s): Kuroboshi Kinou, Odysseus, and Ito Ittosai.
Post by Alan Girm Moria on Nov 18, 2010 16:26:17 GMT -5
Length of Absence: Nov 19-Dec 3
Reason for Absence: College work. I am buried under it and need to get my stuff together. So If I even showed up here it would be too brief to count. I'll come back strong in december to make up for it.
Reason for Absence: Exams and school. This is the reason I have been away for so long, and for that I am terribly, terribly sorry! My semester will end soon though, and when I have no more stress from schoolwork and things, I will come back! ♥ And hopefully finish posting with the new Matt... ;w;
Inactive Character(s): Cleopatra & Alessandra (though she is currently unfinished... but please do not scrap her bio. I will finish her when I return.
Reason for Absence: Tis I, Sig, Beo, Jackass, Slave number 3, fountain of memes, checkin' out or something.
An essay due Wednesday, another due Friday, test on Friday, then Christmas afterwards, yanno.
I'll be gone... I dunno. However long it takes to get my crap straightened out. DIdn't really do as well in college as I'd like, you know what I mean? :/
That said, if I'm not back within a week, then you can assume that I'm dead and rotting in a ditch somewhere. Or hanged myself.
Inactive Character(s): BEO and Sig. IF you need to move your plot along, then you're free to borrow them.
Post by Miliardo Red on Dec 22, 2010 11:42:28 GMT -5
Length of Absence: Probably none, but just in case my parents have gone mad and don't have internet anymore (Or maybe I'll just be busy), I might be out 'til the 29th
Reason for Absence: Visiting my parents for the holidays
Inactive Character(s): Miliardo Red, Tiresias (Because he's SOOOO ACTIVE, right Arj?), Dominik Jaeger (Not yet approved), the robut in The Game.

Length of Absence: Undefined. At least until I get my problem fixed.
Reason for Absence: Internet connection problem. I'll be lucky if I can get on for decent 20 minutes.
Inactive Character(s): Genessa Satellizer, Archer, Tomoe Gozen. Oh, since Crecre's living in the same house guess it's time out for Creo Faulkner as well.
