Nobody here has heard from the QM, have they? Heard anything from him in a private conversation or hit him up on SpaceBattles?
I wouldn't know. He's a fairly regular (read: pretty much the only) contributor to my own quest, and up until the 22nd he was pretty good on having a vote for me every day, aside from the odd occasion where he'd be out sick for a day or two. Except, those times his account was still marked as being online. But it's been total radio silence since the 22nd, and his SpaceBattles account has been silent since Monday. Another one of my regulars tried getting in touch with him a day or two ago, as have I, and I was hoping maybe someone here had tried as well, because this isn't like him at all.I haven't. I kind of just assumed life things got in the way and they've been busy. I hope they're doing okay, though.

Unfortunately I don't, which now that I think about it is kind of strange considering I worked with him for the better part of two years; and while you're probably right that it's still too early to start worrying, again, this isn't something he's ever done before in the almost two years I've worked with him.Unless some of you have some contact informations on him outside of his profile, there really isn't much we can do.
However, I think it is too early to start worrying about this. Just because he hasn't done something like this before, it doesn't mean he wouldn't do it, especially due to the complexity of writing a quest and supporting another.
It's natural to worry when the only methods you have of checking aren't enough. Though I can't say I don't have similar feelings of concern, I do hope it's just something minor and annoying like a damaged router.Unfortunately I don't, which now that I think about it is kind of strange considering I worked with him for the better part of two years; and while you're probably right that it's still too early to start worrying, again, this isn't something he's ever done before in the almost two years I've worked with him.
Enetious said:Hey Maximum, sorry about the sudden disappearance and thanks for the concern! You're actually mostly correct about what's been going on, more specifically that my internet provider borked on their end but ended up spending way too much time trying to resolve things on my end, and this all ended up where I need to switch over to a new internet provider. x.x
I'm hitchhiking off of some free wifi if you're wondering, though I spent most of the time catching up to and making a post for Confringentur - that took up quite a lot of time I must admit.
As for Hinako Magica, I should be able to resume whenever I get internet access back. Feel free to notify everyone in the thread about my current status, I'll be too busy working my way through the 200+ alerts I've got before I've got to disconnect. 😅
Seriously though, I feel really bad about how the quest ground to a halt due to my disappearance, it certainly wasn't intended. I should be switching providers very soon, so I'll be able to resume the quest whenever that happens; I'm also getting a replacement laptop so that I can actually write with any amount of efficiency. So don't fret!
