User blog:Flamefang/Lilith's Letter Status Update 3

Hey guys,

I'm now on summer break, and so I should have a lot more time to be posting in general, as well as more time to assist wherever else I'm needed on the wiki. However I should note that I'll be gone tonight and tomorrow (May 22-23) so don't expect anything from me immediately.

That aside, I just wanted to stress my disappointment at the slow pace LL has taken over the past month. Only two quests have neared completion, a few are about mid-way through, and the rest have either barely started or seem to be having a lot of trouble getting anywhere. This has driven me to reconsider the way the next phase of LL will be formatted, because at this point, with three phases total, this activity won't be finished until next year. Additionally, I realize that I haven't been too active as of late due to finals and other work and such, but simply because I'm not there doesn't mean that you need to stop posting entirely, and if you need me, ask for me! Now that I have more time this shouldn't be as much of a problem, but as I've said time and time again, keeping track of all of these missions can be confusing and complicated, so it'd really be best if you could contact me when you absolutely need me to post. I'll do my best to be on top of things, but I'm not superhuman.

I also want to take a little space to address one concern that seems to have been echoed throughout those involved in Lilith's Letter. People seem to be distressed by a lack of combat, which is somewhat understandable. But I'd also like to note that if you're looking primarily for combat, then Lilith's Letter isn't for you. LL is centered around discovery, story, and personal choice. The first phase, which we are in now, is mostly lacking in combat since it aims to provide a basis for the combat coming up later. So, if you're disappointed by a lack of combat presently, don't worry there's more coming, but if all you want to do is fight things then you may have a better time elsewhere.

Hopefully this is the late update blog I'll have to write before the first phase is over, and the next will be explaining the nature of the second phase.

Thank you for your time and dedication to this campaign,
