Length of Absence/Inactivity: Maybe the end of July
Reason for Absence/Inactivity: Stuff happens. Anyways, this is more of a C-Box extro. Don't plan to see me anytime soon in there, although I will still work on my characters from time to time (as that is all the time I can afford).
Inactive Character(s): Shiki Hiiragi, Miya Kishima, Kyle Night (WIP) for W1, Miyamoto Musashi, Ryna Uraki, and Diarmuid Ua Duibhne for W2.

Length: Infinite
Fine...
Length: At least till next week (likely to be infinite)
Reason: Disgusted. Yes, that's the only word I can think of. Maybe I expected too much when this place was made and when many people joined. I had hoped that people would get along with each other and stick together. When problems occured they would be discussed in a suitable way and behaved properly. Asking in general, asking for opinions, deciding together.
It is understandable that some do not share this sentiment to a degree like I do and it is also true that some things need to be decided in haste. There are also moderators to take care of things.
Lately the number of decisions felt by single individuals, others only getting informed at a later point or not at all, causing major confusion in the rows just made me wonder what the actual point of cooperation was actually supposed to be.
I also see a lot of hypocrite activity. It's understandable that some people bear a grudge about some people, but it makes it really odd to see normal behavior at first and then an upstuck behavior to a degree where one wonders how they would react being treated like that. I have yet to see anyone not making at least a slight mistake, and they should be forgiven. But when a person makes mistakes and always assumes to be in the right while not forgiving others, that's odd for me.
Nevertheless, what is really insulting is the general behaviour of some people. A decision is a decision and should be made, but all I see is cyberbullying and people enjoying themselves over it. Is this an environment I want to be in? My answer to that is no. My only options are 1.) Leaving; 2.) Purging it with fire, and you can believe me that when I begin with something I do it very thoroughly. Either I am just too disappointed and depressed to see it as I should see it, but those flames would currently most likely destroy a good portion of the board.
As several are probably less inclined about feeling sad about the current 'board' than me, said destruction would certainly be unwelcome to them. Although I can also say that I do not really care about everyone, I have no interest in being selfish enough to change the environment like I would have hoped it to be.
I had some general ideas, had put efforts into the profiles to post them, but it currently makes no sense, and from what I could see is that many Rpers might actually even be glad that I free them their favourite spots.
Maybe the site grew too much for me to accept everyone, maybe not.
Anyway, as it might have been a bit rushed which is the reason why I added the extra content and thinking about it. I don't like to force a retcon...
and I have no interest in the approaching Emoness that I will likely see by little, white haired children.
And I forgot Option 3.) Which is probably some inbetween solution. Whatever.
Characters: ...None is rping right now?

Length of Absence/Inactivity: At the very least, a week. By the end of the week I'll post if this continues or not.
Reason for Absence/Inactivity: Same reason as Crecre, I don't seem to be able to juggle between Cyber life and Real life anymore. I'll try to keep in touch as much as possible.

Length of Absence/Inactivity: Till July 9th.
Reason for Absence/Inactivity:Will be helping with my sister's house construction. Too busy learning to read through the power of ZEN to deal with you peoplez. V:<
Inactive Character(s): Goemon (AHAHAHAH..ahaha...aha), Merlin, Houyi, Ray, Ai Esper, And the WIPs/Mid approvals I have on secondus.
Post by Alfonso Anastasius on Jul 1, 2011 16:38:24 GMT -5
Length of Absence/Inactivity: Until the first of September.
Reason for Absence/Inactivity: I'll be off to Lake Superior, and be heading all the way to Algonquin Park. It will be approximately 1300 km (or as I like to say 1.3 mega-meters) worth of tripping in a canoe. I won't be able to post any updates because I'll be nowhere near a computer, electricity, or modern convenience. The trip will last 50 days, but there will be some down time after the trip before I head back home.
Inactive Character(s): Alfonso Anastasius. Sorry Bill, but I had to deal with organizing a food drop at the last moment so I wasn't able to finish the post in time.
Note:Don't worry that I'll forget to come back, I have placed notes everywhere to remind me to log on.
Post by Abigale Alastro-Emeria on Jul 8, 2011 0:46:59 GMT -5
Length of Absence/Inactivity: From July 8 17 to who knows when. I'll check in momentarily every other day or so, or at the very least every week.
Reason for Absence/Inactivity: My computer is currently broken. Fortunately, potentially even by next week, I'll soon have my computer back and everything will be in order! It's one of those "so close yet so far" deals where I keep trying to get it fixed and then something else comes up to stall its repair. I even got a temporary job to pay for this crap.
Inactive Character(s): Abigale Alastro-Emeria, Fritz Alastro-Emeria.
I guess they were never really totally "active" in totality in the first place. Pseudo-active. Planned active.

Length of Absence/Inactivity: Up until July 16th and maaaybe after
Reason for Absence/Inactivity: Ahaha convention preparations. I was hoping it wouldn't be this busy but apparently not. Also life is just taking a turn for the busy in general, since I've got a batch of homework/assignments due right after that too.
Post by Tetsuro Yochi on Jul 17, 2011 7:23:47 GMT -5
Length of Absence/Inactivity: Forever, most likely starting from the end of July.
Reason for Absence/Inactivity:
Before you all ask...
No, I'm not leaving.
No, this is a permanent activity drop. Why the drop? Because I'll be moving in with my girlfriend closer than originally expected. This means far less time on the computer and the internet. I will DEFINITELY still be here, as there's no way I would leave, but it's likely that it'll only be a few times a week rather than every day. There's no way I'd leave this place as you guys are amazing, even though I can be a pain at times. The RPs are fun, both on the forums and in the box.
Times are changing, but I'll never leave my post! Heil FNG!
EDIT 25/07/11 Activity is going to get even lower as I've started TAFE Cert II in IT for 20 weeks or so, 4 days a week. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Inactive Character(s): Well I don't want to call them inactive, but Tetsuro, Mig and the Cid.
P.S. I have given this some thought, but I'm pulling out of W2. I don't think I'd have the time to fully finish my profile there. You can place it in the Inactive section.

Length of Absence/Inactivity: Retroactively Friday through Tuesday. (15-19)
Reason for Absence/Inactivity: Off at a family wedding/reunion. I managed to post this from where we're staying. I could roll onto chat for a few hours but the internet is rather choppy, so don't expect much.
Post by Amaranta Bastillo on Jul 20, 2011 6:27:47 GMT -5
Length of Absence/Inactivity: a reaaaaally long time?
Reason for Absence/Inactivity: I've actually been thinking about this for a while, and I am probably being very inconsiderate (especially to the ones I have an open thread with) but I'm trying to cut down on commitments and the board's one of them. I've been owing posts for a reaally long time now and that just leaves this really uncomfortable feeling even though I really should be doing other things even though posts shouldn't take more than and hour but I am staring at a blank screen while dying over school-and-other-life-related things and it's little things like these that kind of pile up and snowball into a huge pile of blaaargh, not to mention I can't really write for crap doho.
The board was a really nice, fun diversion for a really long time (I think it's been almost a year) but I'm getting into that really icky bit of high school where I'm going to be doing my HSC (I think the American equivalent is a SAT?) really soon (SHUT UP A YEAR IS SOON OKAY) and marks and everything else are really, really not where I need them to be.
I'll still be contact-able on skype, and maybe hopefully soonish I might be able to wrap up my open threads without leaving too many ridonkulous things. I think my best bet will be to systematically kill off my master/servant characters so that it wouldn't leave too much of a gaping hole in continuity and so that Aela and Adam don't get left hanging (again).
So yeah it was great hanging out with you all, I might pop into the box a couple of times to wrap up with loose ends, but otherwise I'm going to attempt cutting ties not in a lolraegquit this time (dohohoho) but to get my priorities and stuff in order.
Post by Nina Lüceanu on Jul 21, 2011 8:46:30 GMT -5
Length of Absence/Inactivity: Until August 3rd, at least.
Reason for Absence/Inactivity:My father is a real worrywart. (Quoted from the Merriam-Webster dictionary, lol). And both him and my younger sister have a choleric temperament. Long story short, I've never been so stressed out since the time of my own enrollment into uni, and it's pretty much impossible to write something in this kind of environment.
I will probably appear on the box in the evenings but until things settle down, chances of posting are low.
Post by Illyasviel von Einzbern on Jul 21, 2011 23:00:50 GMT -5
Length of Absence/Inactivity: 2-3 Weeks
Reason for Absence/Inactivity: Gremlins and personal reasons.
So I took my PC to the repair shop and the dumbfuck technicians said "X couldn't be done" when I remember having done X, Y, and Z before. Just comes so show that by this point, I know more than they do, and you know the old saying. If you want something done, do it yourself. I'll be spending this time stumbling around technical support forums, trying to figure out how to get my old boot back up to spec. Failing that I'll have to take drastic measures, which might end up stretching this past the original marker.
Personal reasons stay private. It's a lot better than writing up another fucktacular gushing waterfall of cry me a river that makes me look like a complete and utter failure of a person. If you want something fixed, keep it to yourself. I've written enough whiny bullshit the past few months that it would make Fallout Boy proud. I'm not about to make Linkin Park proud next.
Besides, I showed that to somebody recently, and it did not end well for the two of us. Lesson learned, time to move on.
PS. I've got some homework for you. Any mod who can squeeze in some extra time, please kindly reciprocate our ads to any new fora that post ads in the Plug.
Inactive Character(s): You know them, you hear about them, but they don't do anything anyway.

Length of Absence Depends. 0 because I will still be here in some way. otherwise until Aug 1 week.
Reason Uni. I am close to finish the final project but not done and the deadline is next week. I should put in some efforts now and cannot invest so much time in the cbox the next days. But as I will also be at work and unable there to work I still got some time there. Posting is equally hard and I can right now not even access War 1 from anywhere other than a phone...... Hope to solve that during that week too. Worked out last time, at least.
Post by Nina Lüceanu on Aug 3, 2011 4:35:14 GMT -5
Length of Absence/Inactivity: until August 28
Reason for Absence/Inactivity: Personal reasons... I don't even want to start talking about it. I might post earlier if things get better here but even in that case, the extro stays until I'm back in Kyiv.
Length of Absence/Inactivity: Unknown. Possibly a week but probably less.
Reason for Absence/Inactivity: Broken comp blues. After much shenanigans which I won't repeat here, our comp is now out for repairs.
Inactive Character(s): See sidebar, herc plays.

Length of Absence/Inactivity:Forever
...A year?Oh, c'mon, a month?An hour, perhaps? Well, okay, the assignment's due date is next Wednesday, so that's...until the 17th of August give or take a day or so.
Reason for Absence/Inactivity:
I need to plan a Christmas Party in a Middle Eastern Restaurant for an assignment.
No, seriously.
So yeah, give or take this'll be a somewhat weird job and no one in my group has any idea of what we're doing, we'll probably try to brainstorm the idea over the weekend and cram the plan into Wednesday. I'll probably still be in the boxes because planning is quite boring and all. Don't expect me to post anything in the meantime unless you want a ton of references to Santa wearing a Turban or something.
Length of Absence/Inactivity: Until my Winter holidays, I guess. The absence will begin around August 22nd.
Reason for Absence/Inactivity: New semester coming up, and I want to focus on my studies instead of lurking around the cbox and Skype. I don't want a repeat of last year where my grades practically dropped a lot which resulted in me failing a few classes. Sure, I'll be around sometimes but I won't be around for long. Apologies to anyone I'm RPing with... blah blah... If someone wishes to take over my characters (Roland, Zack or Benkei for example) they only need to ask me.
I'll try writing a last wave of posts if the motivation comes to me. You can contact me on Skype or Steam (ID: akarequiem)
Also, I'm not leaving forever guys. You guys are way too fun to hang around for me to leave permanently.
Inactive Character(s): Roland, Benkei, Zack and a few WIPs on Secundus.

Length of Absence/Inactivity: Till' next summer!
Reason for Absence/Inactivity: Not really an absence, but a HUUUUUUUUUGE activity drop. Collage is starting and I realized "Holy shit, I still have a lot of crap to do if I want to graduate this year" so I loaded up on a shit ton of credits in a last ditch cannon ball run!
So yeah, no more late night RPboxing for me...maybe. I'll just spy on everyone for now and post when I can post. XD
Post by Shiki Hiiragi on Aug 23, 2011 0:17:08 GMT -5
Length of Absence/Inactivity: June 8th, 2012. Any breaks in that too.
Reason for Absence/Inactivity: School's coming up, and I figure I am going to drop my activity a bunch like people above me. Because you know, life comes first. I will still finish my WIPs and do my posts on a reasonable time basis, I have the time for that, but I'm going to avoid you, box.
Inactive Character(s): Hiiragi, Miya, Adriana, Ryna, Yoshitsune, Musashi, Diarmuid, and my two WIPs Kyle Night and (possibly) Jeanne d'Arc. We never know.
