I'm just trying to think of the players, ultimately they are important here. They make this series a success (<3) so if that makes me selfish, omg ;_;

Matt Damon (Snoopy) already said he would help. I believe Marisa will (tho I have yet to contact her, busy with her own game).....You seem like the only one with a problem, maybe Mel but idk. After the opening twist, the game is pretty straight forward so there aren't any HUGE COMPLICATIONS.

How many times do I have to say that I don't have a problem with hosting? I never said that I couldn't do it. The issue isn't me doing it, the issue is the fact that I even have to.

And yes, the players are important, but ultimately, you are the most important person. In case you haven't realized, this series is called Blue's World. The way you host challenges and TCs, the way you post in confessionals, the way you post on the board, the way you post in the host blogs....THAT is what makes this series so unique. You are depriving this game of that. It won't be a Blue's World game anymore. It will be an IANCD Presents game.

Kind of like BW3? ;o

Thanks for the kind words though :wub: I don't even think I'm going anywhere which I told you 1 million times. I just wanted to be prepared is all.

Right, but you might go somewhere, which is why I'm just saying to postpone it 4 days until you know for sure.

Blue, you know the worst thing about this? You were potentially dumping most of your season on someone . In addition, did you think it was a good idea to leave your co-hosts in the dark? Really? What happens the night when he can't run it?

Either way, that's not fair to him. It's not fair to your cast, it's just not all around.

Not someone! IANCD is *THE* co host so I went to him first just to prepare him. I wasn't going to keep you guys in the dark, fucking give me more credit than that :rolleyes: but I wasn't going to tell you and worry you all until I knew more information.

If he can't run it one night? Someone else will? Snoopy? KMK (going on assumptions here)

We are going in circles cause chances are I'll be here anyway.

ETA: I won't know for sure until LITERALLY the end of the month IANCD.

That's not what you told me before.

And you can't go on assumptions. You're assuming that someone will be able to back you up every night. But what's gonna happen when no one is available to? What do you assume will happen then?

I'm assuming this is what I'm supposed to comment on Blue?

I'm a little insulted that you consider IANCD so much more experienced than me when I'm currently hosting my 4th game and I've co-hosted like 9 other games but whatever that's just me being jealous.

Anyway I would be willing to help host whenever. My game is non-live and I will have time to do so. I'm sure IANCD and Snoopy would do a great job but I'm here for you if you need me. Just make sure you tell the cast what's going on. I know some people would be pissed if they found out you weren't hosting after the game started. IANCD has confessional gate and I have the Pre-merge of CSOne as baggage and I know some people would not trust me because of that even though that was just because half the cast sucked. You would need to be frank with them.

But anyway I can't make a ruling on this until I find out more details. IANCD didn't tell me anything and neither has anyone else, so Blue if you want my input which you asked for then I need details.

Also when I'm hosting a game it's because I have more free time in my RL schedule. That is the time I can help more. You always use that as an excuse for me, but just for now on know that I am available to host even if I'm hosting my own game. Especially a non-live one. :blink:

ETA: Well if you will know in 4 days if you will be leaving or not why not wait until then? If you are leaving then postpone or not.

Wait, Blue. Here's what you can do.

PM the players. Tell them that you might have to go away for the first few weeks of the game. Then tell them there are two options: Postponement, or going on with show but without you as the host.

If the majority of the players are fine with you not hosting, then there's obviously not a problem. Letting the players know you're not hosting after the game has already started is not going to win favor, but doing it beforehand would.

This is what I've been telling him to do almost constantly since he first told me.

Wait, Blue.  Here's what you can do.

PM the players.  Tell them that you might have to go away for the first few weeks of the game.  Then tell them there are two options:  Postponement, or going on with show but without you as the host.

Yeah that is the best option.

No one can bitch about it (Well it's Blue's World so they will bitch) if they know before hand.

But I would tell them beforehand who would be hosting in your absence. No offense to IANCD, and he would be the first to admit it I think but some people don't like him and wouldn't want to play under him. I know people feel the same way about me, and has Snoopy hosted a game before? I know as a co-host but some people might be mad about that too. Also if Smuffy/Ztar/Imma/Hexa/Eyka/unduli/lady or whomever else were to host announce them too.

Also why isn't Messie a co-host? I know you were thinking about it and I don't get why Messie isn't a co-host. I mean there's a proven track record of being a good co-host right there.

I won't know until the end of the month. The whole 24th thing just came out. I will start messaging the cast because I like that suggestion IANCD....This will all be for nothing I bet but better to be safe I guess.

They can bitch but they can't deny that both you and IANCD are good hosts. I don't think anyone in this cast hate either of you so that's irrelevant <3

Let me know what you're sending them before you do it. I want to make sure you're wording it right.

Good Evening. I'm sending this message to all 24 players of BW7. Recently I found out some not so great personal information that I rather not get into.

The point of this message is to let my cast and (crew) know that I may have to miss several weeks of BW7 (there is about a 75% that I won't miss anything) but I won't know for sure until the end of the month (March 31st) I didn't want message anyone until I found out more but my team of co hosts were adamant I at least messaged you (the people, the cast of BW7) and let you know that there's a possibility you will play in the majority of Blue's World without Blue himself being around to host (don't worry, I'm not dying lol) So I need you guys to vote, majority will win!

POSTPONE
Start the game whenever I'm ready to host 100% (which BTW there is still a chance I can and will but that's my dramatic team for you) :lbf

GO ON AS PLANNED
I'm definitely going to be hosting from March 20th-31st so at best you'll get at least 1 week of me as your host but after that you may have to continue playing BW7 with my team of co hosts (IANCD, KMK, Snoopy) while I take care of my personal issue.

MY PREFERENCE
All 24 of you confirmed to play *MY* game and ultimately *you* are important here so I prefer to continue as planned and give you a fun game with me as your host or with my team of co hosts. It doesn't matter because the 24 of you are ultimately what matter here. Unlike Aras (I was actually compared to him until I got to sassing). I'm preparing myself, my team and now my cast if I do end up missing a few weeks.

I need you to vote for either:

A. POSTPONE
B. GO ON AS PLANNED


Ty and I hope you understand. Majority will win out!

I'm gonna edit it real quick. Just a few small wording changes, and I'm gonna remove the part about your preference because that will lead to biased results.
