[quote=@NuttsnBolts] I do agree. While I like role playing, I do live in Australia myself and not everyone here is American. So if people start speed posting, pushing out other potential replies like my own, I won't be enthused about participating. Keep in mind as well that any replies with more than one other in a room should probably have an opportunity for multiple people to respond. There is nothing more lame than 2 characters having a conversation with the third just standing there like a gawking douche. So please, respect your peers, cause their actions are just as important as your own. :) [/quote] I'd like to second this, all the way from GMT. I'm not telling you what to do, of course not, but if there's 10 IC posts over the course of a night I'll drop this quicker than a booty on a dancefloor, no matter how much I love the story. It's just shit when something you are genuinely interested in begins punching out posts at the speed of light. [quote=@Roosan] [@NuttsnBolts] There's a big difference between speed posting the IC and the OOC though. If someone doesn't get a chance to respond to something in the OOC, it's generally not a disaster because they missed out on dropping a killer line or making a good joke and they can always just quote the post in question. Obviously it's different in the IC but I don't think anyone in the thread doesn't know that or intends to rush through scenes and leave those in different hemispheres behind. [/quote] Being someone who has GM'd and participated in their fare share of stories, I will disagree. Those that can't post often or can only post when everyone else is sleeping get left behind both in the development of writers' relationships and in the IC. If you aren't able to post that killer one-line when everyone is watching, they wake up, scroll through their Subscriptions and pass by your post. There's no interaction there. So while I can stomach a hefty OOC count, it doesn't mean there won't be any issues arising from it. This is just my observations over the course of 7~ years, and the people involved always make the difference, but I still believe it's too common of an occurrence for it to be dismissed. EDIT: To any Bombers out there, after I make my introductory IC post I'm thinking about doing a collab with someone who is preferably in a similar role in the gang as Maxim. An enforcer or hitman, something like that. PM me or tag me in here to let me know.
