It just got me confused, and others as well. It isn't a big deal, but we have characters still interacting, and that needs to be finished.'if you wish to continue on the next day, please, do so. But let it known in your post that it's the next day. bit don't move too far.

I would like to finish the interactions that are going on

Hm...
Must not of read everything in the OOC properly, reread the recent stuff and there was more in there than what I read before

Anyway, with the way things moved on, that post for the next day could have been made later. Even if it is made now, as others are finishing up the first day, time disparities will occur if anyone reacts to it, well hard to say. Anyway, I'm kind of waiting to post so that the others interacting with Hanako and her grandfater can post

That could be something good, but with timezones, I'm anywhere from 5 hours to 17 hours ahead of most people in this site


Setting a time where you, the GM, will post and timeskip everyone at the same time really doesn't have anything to do with timezones as with enough warning (48-62 hours notice is plenty) everyone should have wrapped/be-wrapping their stuff up anyway.

With this many people it would likely be very risky waiting for every single person to finish their conversations on their own, in a reasonable amount of time. Best use the mystical all-seeing GM powers to synchronize our RP watches, as it were, and force all characters into the same relative in-RP time. :)

Right, sorry. Have a lot of RPs to post in on various other sites, so I don't post every day. Doesn't help if the RP is too fast-paced.

Actually I've thought about suggesting this idea too, but I think it has it's whole set of disadvantages. With things like these, either way you go, you're gonna make things worst for someone, specially those few who choose to play it solo. The only point in enforcing a common time for all characters would be if there was some sort of event like a raid call or large player reunion where all PC PCs where required to participate. Other than that, the most sensible way, would be to let people do as they please (within a reasonable margin, of course) and require everyone to state their current day/time at the top of their IC posts, 'cause even an hour between two player can screw things royally if that's whar you're worried about and not everyone will follow in the same pace. It's a very common literary device and in games with this much players acting on their own, it's the most sensible way to deal with the time issue.

Maybe that would work in an RP with fewer people but 25-30 players doing what your describing could potentially lead to 10+ alternate timelines in the same RP as each group is moving at a wildly different pace due to player speed/schedule, ect. There is no way you could let this many people police it themsleves and not expect things to get very confusing very quickly.
