Daddy's home and he has a new car. Well, "new" is relative as the car is even older than my previous. But it's not a piece of shit so that's a plus.

Time for me to play catch up. I'll probably edit this post after I've read everything that happened while I was out.

EDIT: I left town while the guild was still down so it seems it was only down for two days or so. Which isn't so bad considering it hasn't given me the white screen of death since I logged in tonight. Also seems that everyone has been behaving and two fights have been posted so far. I'll be cool and give Rin an extra day (as the 48 hours would be up otherwise) due to guild downtime and a generally good mood. If you don't have it posted in time then Chikori won't be making it to round two. As for the debate on scripting fights ahead of time I find it a bit odd but if it does work then there isn't much of a fault to it. I've made it a requirement where the outcomes of fights have to be determined ahead of time but determining the flow of an entire fight without consulting the other player is likely to have flaws. Should one player want to collaborate into a single post and the other want to go post-by-post then I would recommend they take a middle-ground where they determine an "outline" to how the fight will progress via PM or Skype or w/e and then stick to the outline when going post-by-post. Not a very difficult or confusing thing. A little communication goes a long way, but little communication does not. Proverbs aside as long as everyone is mature and open-minded then there shouldn't be any problems. I'm going to go relax a bit now since I only got home a bit ago but if anyone needs me I AM back. I'll review Patriarch's sheet again in a little bit.
