It will be done whether you like it or not. The solution is not to criminalize it (which is totally ineffective), but to simply not divulge any critical information through public posting.

You are recommending we e-mail all fleet statistics etc. to the moderators, that is something to think about. Maybe keeping my mouth shut would be a better idea sometimes... Fare ye well, The Questioning One

Not exactly. I just think that all sensitive communications, strategy, etc. should be discussed through e-mail.

I meant in the entire post with more than just a battle, there is more to the story than that (at least I hope so) and that coudl be under small additions if it's for fighting.

I can;t help but wonder how something that was never "born" could "die," However the sentiment is quite accurate, as a generality any story without a post for a week is "dead." I assume the mortality period is shorter for concepts. Perhaps your revival will succeed but I predict a death in the cradle. Best of luck, The Pessimist
Yep, it's dead. Just like abortion, gone before it even was. <sniff>
UR, The death of an EV webstory before the end of the first page appears to have become an average. Your ideas were some of the best I had seen in some time. You wanted simple and creative but it did not start it when it had the greatest momentum. The next time don't plan everything in advance if a problem arises moderate. The concept strayed from the original simple ideas to a story as over-planned as Frontiers. Another attempt, The Idealist

Really? Thanks. Maybe we should've just started it after about five people said they'd join. I've never seen a webstory have six pages before it even started. Maybe in a month or so, people will show up again and we could actually start a story.
Forgive me for not bothering to read all six pages, but... what is going on with this story? Is it going to move ahead, or not? I locked emaniac's story on the assumption that this one would get off the ground, but from what little I've read, it looks like it isn't going to...

No, the story is dead. Most of those who said they would join, haven't been here for awhile. Then more people came saying they'd participate, but now it's just like 3 people, but that's not enough.
So can I post my story without fear of lockage?

Yeah, this story had a lot going for it, but it never really had enough support.

We have 4 people interested now, we could try starting it. Then again that might be a webstory death wish. Fare ye well, Failure Personified
