ANNOUNCEMENT
Entry 20, just posted, will be my final update. However, there are two options for the Ridge continuing...
1. If anyone else wants to take over posting weekly updates, for however long a period, then please contact me at castavel@aol.com and I'll give you the password for the cr_cougar_ridge account.
2. Otherwise, on February 14th (giving everyone a week to respond to the latest post), I'll post a new entry called "The Story Continues...". All players/characters who wish to continue to participate can do so by posting comments to this entry, as many times as they like. The one-post-per-entry rule will no longer be in place, meaning - for example - that Gina and Cole can have continuing conversations if they wish. Any player can shape the story however they want. The three-character rule will also be abolished, meaning that any player who really wants to keep the Ridge invigorated can do so with as many characters as they want. I'll post a new "The Story Continues..." Entry every so often if needed, so that none of the Entries becomes clogged with too many posts.
Please make sure you post your comments to the Main Entry, not to another character's entry.
I'll be continuing to play my characters as well, so I'm not jumping ship. I just want the game to be far more open-ended.
If anyone has any comments, please feel free to post them here.
