Let's be frank about Altho

07:02 <Garlyle> The honest answer is, no, I do not have full motivation to GM Altho. I still -want- to go through with what I've got set up, so if people are willing to just have it be a general community game/project/whatever, sure
07:02 <Garlyle> I am not good at speaking frankly about my own weaknesses when it comes to GMing, so I have been skirting things a little. My apologies.

I don't want to abandon Altho by any means.  But I pretty much have to acknowledge straight up that no, I don't think I'm capable of the sheer work required to maintain the whole of the game.

If people still want to continue Altho, sure; but the reality of things is that I do not have the time or willpower to really devote to GMing this the way I originally wanted.  I did not want to disappoint you all by flat out saying "No I can't do this, Altho's over", and yet did not really have the will to continue it.  In all seriousness I would not be that bothered to lose Altho; however, I am not the only one who has an interest in it nor am I the only one capable of maintaining it.

And apparently you guys still are interested enough to start getting at each other's throats about it, but never actually approaching me to ask, which I really don't approve of :/ I am, however, glad you care.

Therefore

I'm willing to pretty much hand out everything outside of Episode Finales to people for GMing, if they want - hunts, missions, hell even gym leader battles really.  If you guys are willing to take that up and turn Altho into the #mans community game, then I have no issue with this and we can continue on that setup.

And if you are just too frustrated or just don't care or whatever, that's fine too; lemme know.  If nobody actually wants the game to continue, we'll shut it down; if it's just that we need new players, we'll get more; if this setup is agreeable to you guys, we'll get going.  And that will be that.
