There are a few things we can do at this point, never mind why I feel it's a crisis situation...

<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>Do Nothing</span>
This is obviously the simplest thing we can do.
Pros:
  • No Hassle</li>
  • The game is at least sort of up</li>
  • We have the feeling of being a dysfunctional, but existing, community</li>
Cons:
  • Game is still buggy</li>
  • Not many players</li>
  • Many staff members work on the project that doesn't have too much of a point right now</li>
<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>Use Development Code</span>
Pros:
  • Progress is being done</li>
Cons:
  • Really buggy</li>
  • Not much more than a test server</li>
  • Lot of work for me and other coding staffers</li>
<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>Temporarily Suspend the Project</span>
Pros:
  • Staff members are free for a few months</li>
  • A non-project is always better than a severely handicapped project, in terms of making an impression on the community</li>
  • You don't have to test it just because you're nice</li>
Cons:
  • FaF vanishes from the internet for a while</li>
  • We lose members and the sense of community</li>
  • We might just never restart it</li>
<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>Finish it at some point, then join with Ragnarok</span>
Pros:
  • More players</li>
  • More potential fans for a non-Redwall game</li>
  • Already running and good project, thus less work for current staffers (some may even leave)</li>
Cons:
  • Alright, but when's 'some point'?</li>
  • Is there a good reason apart from the fact that we can?</li>
  • Lose our ROC identity, and potentiall some members</li>
  • Lose distinctness</li>

I'd say basicly do nothing, maybe advertise some to try to get more members.

I think we need more members.
Lotr rocks!

"Two" said Gimli, patting his axe. He had returned to his place on the wall. "Two?" said Legolas. "I have done better, though now I must Grope for lost arrows; all mine are gone. Yet I make my tale twenty at the least. But that is only a few leaves in a forest."

"Twenty-one!" said Gimli. "Good!" said Legolas. " But my count is now two dozen. It has been knife work up here."

"Forty-two, master Legolas!" he cried. "Alas! My axe is notched; the forty-second had an Iron collar on his neck. How is it with you?" "You have passed my score by one," answered Legolas. "But I do not grudge you the game, so glad am I to see you on your legs!"

~the contest at Helms Deep.

There hammer on the anvil smote,
There chisel clove, and graver wrote;
There forged was blade, and bound was hilt;
The delver mined, the mason built.
There beryl, pearl, and opal pale,
And metal wrought like fishes' mail,
Buckler and corslet, axe and sword,
And shining spears were laid in hoard.

WOAH! this site rocks man!

OK, since you obviously don't like this place and have said you are leaving, I'm sure you will not take offense when I ban you.
At any time should you wish to revoke this decision, just post in "Quarantine" and you will be unbanned.

Finish it some point and join with Ragnarok. This way Beatles and Devari will have two great games come together and we might gain more playing members. Though 'some point' may be never, I've gotten used to playing the unfinished Beatles projects. :D

Anyway, if we do join Ragnarok, it wont be faf anymore! It wont be as good! Faf is better than Ragnarok!

I'd say if we join, join but keep it seperate. We'll have a main page for both, but there will still be two seperate games. We'll have two links, one the the FaF page, and one to the Ragnarok page. Devari and Beatles will work together on any major programing. That way each site will retain it's uniqeness, but both will still enjoy the benifets of cooperation.

IMHO, Ragnarok is better simply because of more control for the player and more features.
