Deadline is up for getting that "combat engagement" post in.

Feel free to continue posting catch-up posts if you're still working through those, but no more combat posts until your respective GM updates you.

I like how you did that and still didn't mention Vampire, haha. Go remind her in Discord, especially since blue team and green team posts might flood in soon.

@Baklava Curses! Olive Garden, my only weakness! XD

@January Just to cover what could happen in case a certain possibility happened: If Aaron dies here (whether by injuries or even by the hand of the tasty tendrils of a Flying Spaghetti monster) in this fight, would i be able to make another OC after that?

@Holy Grail

If Aaron dies this early in the game in this kind of tutorial fight, I'm probably not going to let you make another OC.

It really depends on how he dies.

If it was an unfortunate series of events over and over (which it shouldn't be since the GMs are controlling 50% of the unfortunate events occurrences here), I'll allow a new OC.

If it was a death from a good play or some other highly involved action that was premeditated and the like, I'll allow a new OC.

If it was a death from an issue of "this is what my character would do in this scenario, even if it would get him/her killed," I'll allow a new OC.

Basically, I usually allow new OCs.

Except:

If your character died stupidly for no real reason doing things that cannot be justified as "my character would do this even if he/she would die."

That just tells me you're probably going to get the next character killed really early on, too.

So don't give me that impression.




Tl;dr: don't die this early on.

If the GM warns you they're going to kill your character (as opposed to just grievously wounding), ask your respective GM if there is any way out of it. They'll usually oblige and answer for major things like that. That said, try not to be in that position in the first place. We're not actually trying to kill anyone here, spoiler alert. So if your character dies...

ech.

@January Ah, no. I don't want to kill him off stupidly or non-justifiably or anything of the negative sort you mentioned. As much as i was joking about it on Discord, i don't want to lose him if at all possible and will not try to kill him. Especially in this tutorial fight. Albeit, i will admit his speech did take too long was all.

I really was just wanting to ask about the "just in case" things somehow go actually awry. Or perhaps i am a bit too worried.

I apologize if i sounded bad by asking that. Such was not my intent whatsoever.

Reposting in OOC for consistency:

The following changes will take place starting next week and only for the duration of combat events. Combat posts will be fairly short here for all involved once we get into the thick of things. Which means I will be increasing the pace of combat to prevent this one encounter from taking literal months in real time. Expect this to be reflected soon in the rules.

After the last GM posts, player turn responses will be due within three days. The sooner everyone responds, the sooner the GM turns can come around again. At the moment, this means red and blue team have a time advantage. That will not continue.

The next time GM turns come around, I will synchronize all three GM posts to be up at roughly the same time (within 5-10 minutes of each other). Then the three day cycle continues until combat-heavy events are over. Those who cannot keep up with one short post every three days (until the end of combat) have several options:

    1. Have someone else write your character's move(s) into a combined post.

    2. Mention any GM (preferably all three to make sure someone catches the message and relays it) in the Discord’s #plotting channel and let them know what move you'd like to make. If you don't have the time for discussion, the respective GM will write that move in as feasibly as possible.

    3. PM all three GMs (if you use the forum PM system, PM ALL THREE GMs) on the forums with the move you'd like to make and the respective GM will write that in as feasibly as possible. Due to the asynchronous property of forum messaging, the GMs will likely not sit around and refresh the page for 15 minutes to wait on your response in the case of any arguments.

    Thus, through PMs, the following will generally occur: you message us, we tell you we've read it and will/will not incorporate the move. That's it. If we choose not to incorporate a seemingly unfeasible move, we'll just interrupt it/counter it/strike before it happens, etc. You don't get to argue this through PMs as it is an immense waste of time for the GMs to sit around and wait for a PM response that might not come in a timely manner, especially if you're too busy to even hop into Discord and use option 2.





As an additional warning, once combat has fully initiated, excessive talking is not a free action. If your GM feels like your character spent too much time talking in a dangerous scenario, your character will suffer for it. Short comments/orders/call outs are perfectly fine. Even brief conversations are fine.

Use common sense, or the GMs will liberally apply it for you.




Current deadline for this round of player posts is here.

New pacing will not take effect until next week by this schedule. If everyone posts and we move on early repeatedly this week, I will consider implementing the new pacing a bit sooner.




Edit: Added to the rule concerning the "one post per week" minimum:

The "one post per week" minimum requirement is not imposed under certain circumstances such as combat events/NPC-relevant events/anything else the GMs decide to inflict a different schedule on. Refer to event-specific pacing for further details. Generally, pacing during events will be faster than normal.
