I missed an opportunity i had no chance to change because i was sleeping? Hows this my fault? Its not. I was sleeping after a terrible day, eager to reply to the posts tomorrow only to find everyone practically just jumped on ahead and are done with it. Quite frankly its a Quit-Trigger for me when players wont wait for other players to post. Its like other people have LIVES off the internet of something, terrible lives, but lives none the less


Don't get me wrong, I'm not faulting you for this, but you have to understand that not everybody can wait for everybody else. That's how good RPs die. Even a wait of twelve hours while all the other players are hyped and raring to go can result in sapped motivations! Can you find it in your heart to forgive three players who were too interested to wait until nightfall to continue the scene they're enjoying?

This exact situation has cropped up several times in the RP before. As a matter of fact, my character's very first interaction very nearly died because we were waiting for a character that took three days to bring out a post. First one player quit entirely, then another decided to lash out in boredom or something, then another flat-out disappeared off the face of the site, and eventually the other players simply stopped using their characters they built for this scene! Eventually, it was just me!

To be honest, I don't see the issue with a majority of players forcing the scene along in spite of the one or two players who haven't posted yet. It may be rude, yes, but it's not a faux pas worth anything but a light ribbing, and it's very easy to recover from.

Don't take me wrong, I don't intend to imply that you're a player like the ones that abandoned me in my first scene, but I can definitely see where the people who've moved the scene along past you are coming from. I guess the only advice I have for you is "Relax and get over it." Things will work themselves out if you just persevere!

The swearing really just done it for me. I'm sorry if I seemed very insensitive, but I don't like being swore at for something I didn't even know I was doing.


Uh... Im sorry to really point it out but i reread my posts, and i... Never swore AT you! O.o

@earnest evans il try to persevere, but still... I just wished for half a day, i was currently sleeping, it couldnt be that much of a demand, if i dont conjure a post in that time, feel free to continue! I dont always take 12 hours but sometimes when your kicked about in the street, battered by police officers for begging some change for lunch and belittled by every being imaginable just so you can live, because your benefits suck and are getting smaller while costs for food are rising you kinda wanna spend a god few hours under the pillow to cry! A LOT of hours...

I was more swearing in general than swearing AT people.

So you realize why it's not best to do that? People can actually get offended by it. Not everyone has thick skin.

So, because that attack did nothing to affect you beyond potentially allowing you to react and you missed an opportunity to show your character off, you've reacted this way and are now considering quitting the RP? Heck, the same thing happened to @Belwicket and they're taking it very well!

It's definitely annoying that some players moved the scene along without you (lord knows I've experienced that before, one RP I joined was literally nuked in my single-day absence!), but it's not "burst out in the OOC and quit the RP you just joined" annoying!


As true as that is, I was still unhappy that there had been 2 attack posts towards my character. From the same creatures, no less. The thing with me, though, is I found a way to incorporate both attacks into the post.

@The_written_John If you need help with posts, I can help, though it seems like you're able to post more than I am. However, quantity doesn't equal quality. Not trying to say you're bad, you're not, just speaking from experience.

Question: Will there be a full moon on Nox the night of the battle? Werewolves make up a moderate portion of Hecuba's army, and I don't quite want them to just be stuck high and dry while they die in droves.

I didn't have anything planned for the phase of the moon so I flipped a coin and ended up with no.

I'll be posting tomorrow to get things going, hopefully more people in the Nox scene will post before I do.

Hey Trevor, since I don't know myself, is Matarukajah an invisibility thing or a teleportation thing?

And I'm back. I'm sorry about the long wait time but the post will be much faster now that I got a new job that won't give me lot's of over time every week. The spell that Kanji cast increases our attack "damage". Also did I miss a post replying to Sawyer?

Also, I forgot to clarify but Take's lightning bolt is just a weapon. It doesn't shock anything.

And before anyone asks: Yes I got permission to use Touma as a one-off for the mini arc in Academy City. I swear to whatever the heck's out there that he won't leave the place. He exists as a minor character and as comedic relief, not his usual Deus Ex machina self.

I'd be disappointed if he didn't show up :p

Since Marisa's scene is pretty self-contained I decided to post again with her.
