I'm currently writing an IC post that skips us forward towards the next day so we get to some action!
For those that feels as if this abruptly cuts off your conversation, remark what your character would've done in the next post you make. E.g. Reiner talks to Jade the next morning over the 5 gigantic women they rejected as potential teammates. That sort of stuff. I feel 43 posts in is plenty for what was meant as an introductory period.
Secondly, regarding touching of my characters... I'd like if people were to refrain from directly controlling them. Stuff like creating a past with Isen'roy/Solomon or like Reiner/Jade is fine and fun but when you assume full control, then thats not really roleplying with others anymore, is it?
Inb4, I'm not really angry because SwarthyBard more or less kept them in character but to avoid future complications, I'm going to hold and iron fist over this matter from now on. As mentioned in the rules, powerplaying will not be allowed. The only exception to this is if the other person has given you permission beforehand.
