Honestly? I was going to improvise that, that's generally how I do RPs (Both forum and tabletop), think of things on the go rather than have a set concrete plan/layout.
I personally find doing such planning event tends to start railroading the plot and leave less avenues to be explored, but that's more of a personal preference thing I've always done.
If this is an RP that wants more pre-planning involved I'm fine with that.


I'm not exactly saying it's a pre-planning RP. By all means, you don't need to think that far ahead if you don't want to. I'm just saying that there needs to be a reason behind a character's actions that makes sense.

Like, Gwazi's chosen to stop at this village on his way to another destination. That's a deliberate action that's already been made. There needs to be a reason for that action, or else it doesn't make sense. So, it wouldn't make sense to not know where Gwazi's going - unless even he doesn't know. If that's the case, then it makes sense. What doesn't make sense is saying that Gwazi is headed somewhere specific, when even you don't know where that is.

Does that make sense?

The fire alarm went off in my dorm at 3AM this morning. I haven't exactly been with-it today.

It was most likely someone trying to smoke inside the building.

So, some of both I guess? Either way I was out in the cold and rain in my PJ's for like 20 minutes. =_=

Also, important question: Is daylight savings time a thing in Britain?

Yes that makes sense.
So I'd probably be going to the next town that closest to the Amazon Tribes location, the name and location of that time being something I would probably know IC.
But OOC I currently lack that knowledge, so I feel the need to ask OOC what is the closest time to the Amazon Tribe's city?

And yikes about the fire alarm. :/
They seriously need to make those things better at ignoring cigarette smoke.

Uhh... I really can't answer that question.

The layout of the Guild world is super-confusing and also not always consistent, so it's kind of difficult to map it out like that.

So... unless Gwazi somehow knew what happened to lie next to the jungle setting... *shrugs*

I have all the episodes of Doctor Who recorded. It just comes down to the fact that I'm scared to watch this season on my own. >.> I've had a lot of spoilers.

:/ You'll only get more spoilers the longer you wait. If I were you, that would just motivate me to watch faster... I also don't see why watching it with a friend remedies that situation.

But, whatever, I just figured I'd offer since you said before that the reason you were behind was cuz you could never get a hold of your TV at home, but you seem to get enough time online to catch up if you wanted. *shrugs* Just trying to help.

I also have the fact that I have to do two things at a time to be able to watch something.

In that case it might actually be best to go with the "Even Gwazi doesn't know where he's going next" approach considering the very world itself is inconsistent.

I literally just caught up on it.
And my god... That last episode so far, amazing.
There's one thing I specifically loved about it, but I'm sticking it in a hider cause it's kind of a spoiler.

Also what time is it in Britain currently? I'd like to believe that the time difference is still the same but I'm not sure how daylight savings time works outside the US (or if it's even a thing beyond our borders at all).

Oh yea, I'm pretty sure England doesn't change times at the same time we do. :/

Mainly because I remember when I used to be in an online relationship with someone from there, and at one point when I expected her laptop to shut off (Her parents set some sort of timer on it) it didn't and it turned out the difference between our timezones had apparently changed. :/

Though, I did just google it so we weren't left guessing and they are currently 6:50 PM (so 5 hours ahead of me, which is the usual).
However, I haven't bothered to keep track of Englands time for years now... so it's fairly likely the gap between my place and england was 4 to 6 hours for the past while, and recently changed to 5.

And Ninja'd.
And apparently in this case our time changes did infact line up. :/
England's confusing...
