Stuck
I played my game yesterday and today wrote up what happened. Currently, Erik hasn't licensed any more songs to get nominated. I feel as if I'm in a holding pattern. I do wish to play my game, but I know I will roll things back to before their first child is born, so I can take full advantage of the Infants when they drop. In the meantime, do I just roll back farther so I can spend time playing without posting? I really don't know what to do. I suppose I could restart my ancestral game save. Haven't played that one in an eternity, or so it feels.
I was wrong when I suggested the New Year would be here faster than we knew it. But, that was before the announcement truly sunk in. I have a form of PEPS, the Syndrome, without the EP, at least.
We've already lost two wonderful storytellers over at the WHIYGT thread. I hate to be a third one that goes A.W.O.L. If I don't play I have nothing to write about and post. If I roll back too far, it's old territory, so again nothing to post of relevance. If I stop writing and posting then I feel as if I'm letting people down. If I try to play forward, then I'll have way more to catch up on after I roll back.
OR, and this just now hit me. I could simply pick things back up before their third child comes along, I guess. Problem is, I don't believe we can stop the babies from becoming Toddlers. Even with aging off, unless I'm mistaken. So, no matter what I do, if I play forward there's going to be a much larger gap of time between the children than I intend. There just simply is no easy answer or remedy.
The last time I tried to do what I called a Flashback save, got away from me inasmuch as I decided instead of trying to link things to the original save, I would just rename the Flashback to the Main Save RESET. I had thought I could roll back to play with the new infant life stage, and let the existing posts stand, maybe do a small augmentation with the expected new gameplay. I don't know, the first time really didn't work out as planned.
I'm really lost at the moment. If anyone has any advice, please share it. I'm all ears (eyes).
Please, and thank you, in advance.
