Blue wtf, don't be dumb and skip out on 1/2 to 2/3 of your own game. Do you want to preserve your rep as a host, especially with a cast you are so proud of? Ya I thought so. Just delay your game. |

Echoing this. People will be happy if it moves smoothly, but if you don't even show up til final fucking 8 or whatever, you're not getting a BW8 cast because people will shit on you for abandoning this game until the end. You need to move this and risk losing a couple people, because otherwise you lose credibility and it's not right to dump this off on others for that amount of time. |

IANCD is a jackass for going behind my back and telling you guys something that wasn't even set in fucking stone. Basically I may (key word being "may") have some personal things to deal with later this month so I kind of told IANCD in advance that I might need him to take over (as the most experienced host, right?) he obviously doesn't want to take over (IF I END UP LEAVING TOWN) so he went on about me putting a game before my personal life (IE: not postponing) when I figured why SCREW shit up for my cast? ALL 24 confirmed so why fuck up their schedule for something that may not even fucking happen (IE: me leaving town) but no apparently I'm some bad host and he even compared to me Aras when FIRST OF ALL. 1. He left his cast and game out to dry, I'm warning my team in advance (JUST IN CASE) 2. Unlike that fag I care about my rep as a host but if personal shit calls I'm looking for my team to take over for me. 3. Fuck off for comparing him to me in the first place. Basically fucking ask me shit before listening to IANCD. BW7 will go on and if my hosts can't take over when I need them the most (if I end up needing them) then what's the point? I'll bring on board messiebessie or some shit. I've already contacted Snoopy and he's more than willing to help me out and he even understood MY point of view. I will be here until the end of the month (March 20th-31st) that's a good week of hosting. I will be here but after that I might have to leave or NOT. I dunno but I'm still not fucking things up for my players when there's probably no reason to. |

I never said I wouldn't do it. I just said it's the worst idea in the world. I'm obviously not alone, since almost every other cohost agrees with me. It's a terrible idea and you'll realize it after you leave for weeks and come back and see how little respect everyone in the game has for you. This will be the last Blue's World game. But whatever, it's your game and your series, so I'll just sit back and do what I'm told and let you ruin it since you don't listen to me anyway. |

And I'm not a jackass for telling people. I told people because I care so much about this series and I don't want to see it ruined. I was hoping that by telling people, you'd realize how dumb this is when they all agreed with me. So if caring about a series and not wanting to see it get destroyed because the host does something that's illogical makes me a jackass, then fine, I'm a jackass. |

I don't know who to believe There are just so many lies flying around that I'm thoroughly disgusted and might just quit.I see both sides to this issue. Blue might have RL issues to deal with (which should always be priority) and doesn't want to screw up the cast by delaying the game. However, there runs the risk of how it looks to the players when "Blue" is hardly present in "Blue's World". It's not my decision to make, whether or not to postpone the game or not, but I myself have come to a decision regarding myself. I realize there are many co hosts, and when only one can likely pick up the slack with Blue's absence, it tells me there might be too much fluff getting in the way of a smoothly-run game. Therefore, I am removing my involvement from this game. I am useless and do not belong here. Best of luck! |

Telling them when there was a chance (and still is a chance) that I'm not even going anywhere thus making them take and see YOUR side of the story and trashing me without hearing what I have to say? (BTW thanks so much Smuffy and Imma :)) I ask. How the fuck will I get NO RESPECT? Because I would do the admirable thing(s) handle my personal shit as well as allowing the game to continue with my trusted co hosts? I'm thinking about the players here. They confirmed to play a game on MARCH 20th. I'm not going to postpone when there may be no reason to :alien and I'll be here for as long as possible. I'm NOT at all leaving you to do everything. |

It's not like I won't make an announcement when/if I have to leave. Unlike Aras I will be upfront with my cast. I'm not going to keep my absence from them. Is that what you guys thought I'd do? You aren't going anywhere :angry: |

How did anyone trash you? Not a single person said anything disparaging regarding you. Just regarding this decision, because it is illogical. So what if the cast confirmed to play on the 20th? Games gets postponed due to hosts having issues ALL THE TIME. If they get upset that it's delayed 4 days and drop, then so what? Fuck 'em. If they're super eager to play in this game and play under you as a host, then they're not going to let a 4 day delay cause them to miss it. And if they do? Good riddance. It means they weren't excited for the game and you don't fucking need them. If you get a few drops, you'll fill the cast again. I'm sure your biggest concern is losing out on the big names, but in all honesty, think of all of the stars this series has ever had and tell me how many of them have been "big names?" I honestly can't think of any. The newbies and the lesser known players, aka the players that clamor to play in this series, are the ones that make it shines. The big names are always boring because they don't give a shit. Just look at messie from last season as the most recent example of it. He barely showed up all game, barely did anything, and when he managed to score 2nd place, what did he say? He didn't say "This game was great!" or "Thanks, I had fun!" He said "This game was not as bad as I expected it to be." Is that REALLY the kind of player you want in this game? The kind of players who aren't even going to respect the effort you put in? You don't need to bend over backwards for the big names because the big names think they are better than this game and this series and that is just not true. You're worried that the players are going to lose respect for you for DARING to postpone the game after you told them it would start on the 20th. That is just not going to happen. The players will understand that you have personal issues to attend to and they will not hold it against you. They will not drop from the game. And if they do, then you don't need them anyway because they obviously were not excited to play. |

Whether or not you tell them is irrelevant. They're not going to think of you as the guy who announced his absence before leaving the game in the hands of his cohosts. They're going to think of you as the guy who didn't host his own game. |

They're also going to think of me as the guy who kept the game going FOR THEM while he took care his personal issues. Anyone with a heart WILL NOT belittle me. I would end up doing the right thing (taking care of personal shit) and also the selfless thing (keeping BW7 going via trusted co hosts) |

And there you go reading into things AGAIN! If this was a month ago, I would postpone, no questions but the game is 7 days away and everyone already confirmed. Big names, noobs, fodder etc.. All confirmed. They are READY TO PLAY in 7 DAYS! I'm thinking about them as a cast, not the big names :alien |

Who cares if they are already confirmed? I've seen games get delayed the day before they were supposed to start. |

Blue, this is just not going to happen. Keeping the game running isn't selfless. It's actually the opposite, because it's quite selfish. It's senseless, not selfless. |
