Yay! I'll get a post up ASAP!

ALSO. I have a question? Is there a parking lot at the school? Like, could Zac have a van and have driven that there himself?

Yea

@liferusher

I'm sad, really sad, to say this but I guess I'll retire myself from this RP. There's 22 IC posts up before I eve managed to get my character approved, much less have the chance to do an IC post of my own.

Considering that the IC was opened one day ago, this is way beyond my ability to keep up with. I really like you, and was wishing to play a RP with you again after so much time, but I can't play a RP that goes this fast.

I'll keep in contact, maybe we will get a chance for something more evenly paced in the future. I have some ideas for RPs coming that you may like.

Anyway, in respect to everyone else, who seems to have the free time to/enjoys this speed posting, I'm dropping out.

See ya later.

"Enjoys this speed posting" That sounds like you´re trying to make it sound like a bad thing... @KoL

Don´t get me wrong, it is sad that you chose not to participate :c

@KoL oh, just know you dont have to follow around everything that is happening in the ic. I dont mind recaping it for you either every day or few days apart.

And that your character isnt accepted yet is mostly my fault too. I dont have enough time to be on every few hours to discus. If you are willing to stay ill put my focus on your character the next few hours

@KoL

If the GM is willing to make regulations about this, you could probably stay in the RP.

That sounds like you´re trying to make it sound like a bad thing...

This isn't a bad thing?

@TheWindel

Well we do roleplay faster, but that´s not a bad thing.

Some people have lives outside of RPing, including work, study, family, maybe even just wanting to be chill about this hobby. Speed posting alienates this kind of people.

What's the point of playing if you can't keep up because a few people decide it's cool to do a dozen plus posts on the time you are working and unable to read, much less post anything?

I appreciate your intention, and I sure can give this a chance (as soon as my character is approved). However, I think that players who just keep to their own character's microcosm, and don't read/keep up with the rest of the RP lack respect for the others. I try to make a point of reading everything that goes by on a RP I'm a part of.

After all, if I expect people to respect, appreciate and read my posts, I need to do the same to theirs. Otherwise, I'd be missing a whole lot of the fun.

This may feel like a dumb idiosyncrasy to most players on the guild, but I really enjoy RPing as a whole. If I wanted an experience to focus only on my characters, I'd do a 1x1. There's nothing that aggravates me more than see that someone that comes to interact with my character hasn't read my posts.

That's really very annoying.

Anyway, I wait your reply. See ya.

PS:

Just to note, I'm not mad at you for not approving my character yet. I was really just feeling alienated from the RP because it's moving too fast. You can take your time and do stuff your way. I just don't know how I'll few if when I get to do my 1st post the IC count is above 30~40 posts.

Just to note as well, I probably will only post this Friday/Weekend, I really can't spare the time before that because of college and work.

@KoL

Of course I do read the other´s posts too, out of interest in this case. Of course, I also do not have infinite time. I have barely time to spare each day, however that time I like to spare on roleplay. And I do not need one hour or so for a single reply in the "casusal roleplay" forum.
I do understand your point, but we don´t reply this quickly because we think "it´s cool", we do it because we love this roleplay and love roleplaying. Maybe this is what we do for fun in the little time we have? I can completely understand why it would annoy you, having to keep up with all this. Maybe it even seems impossible to do. But that´s exactly the point: You do not HAVE to keep up with our posts. Sure you can do it out of respect and because you want to keep up with what is happening around your character. However, I don´t see a reason to slow down my reply speed in an activity I am so passionate about and enjoy doing because someone wants to read it and does not have 20 minutes to spare. I don´t mean to insult you or anything, in case I come across like that

I can see your reasoning. If you have a lot of fun and know the charactersan d like them you feel more pasionatr in their stories and want to see a new post everday because you like it so much. Or somrthing like that. You d9nt want to miss out on a part of the story of them. Anyway making ic posts shouldnt be the problem then. There are plenty of people that are busy enough and post every few days instead of continuous speed posting. So to say caits and hylianrose. Interacting with them shouldnt be a problem for you i think myself. It took me about half an hour to read the first 10 posts of the ic i dont know if you have thst time to spare every 1 or two days. I would say you should just try for a week maybe and if you find yourself overwhelmed i give you all the benefit of the doubt. (Sorry if this is difficult to follow.)

Just to note, I don't plan to begin an argument on this RP. Whether I stay or not depends mostly on how this will progress, but I'm veering to drop this either way.

I don't want to be rude or force anyone to change their ways. Maybe I'm just a grumpy old style player (whose views come from years of tabletop RPing), so I can't comprehend this thought pattern too well. But yeah, this kind of attitude is not for me.

@liferusher

I'm still waiting your reply before I take a final decision, though.

EDIT:

Seems like I wan Ninja'd... hehee.

I'll take your words then. I'll give this a chance for a time, but considering the general opinion of half the cast, I really feel like it's a not gonna work.

Even so, as soon as I get the go for my character, I'll do something about it.

But that´s exactly the point: You do not HAVE to keep up with our posts. Sure you can do it out of respect and because you want to keep up with what is happening around your character.

If it takes extra effort for people to keep up, then I don't see how this is fun. As stated before, sometimes people can't keep up with the speed posting. Speaking on that, isn't there a rule in this RP about not speed posting?

@KoL
Hey, I read other people's posts too. But my character can only interact with one of them.

And I can post often because my work load is currently quite light and I'm pretty much filling my free time with doing this.

My normal reply speed is basically one reply per day. I dont think That is too much...
I had more time the past few days because i Took some days off Since i was Close to having a mental Breakdown which is why i Got 2+ replies per day done

That's perfectly fine. Just be aware that rapid posting can isolate some players and make them not want to interact with characters when they have their own inner ring of replies.

Are you saying that because you have free time, you're going to continue to speed post, knowing full well that can isolate some players?

@TheWindel
I can only post as fast as my conversation partner can post.

@Rune_Alchemist THis might be a fun thing for your character since she is shy

I believe it was this girl that was a ghost too and slowly disappeared depending on how embarrassed she is XD

pfft

Yeah, if Odette gets really embarrassed you might see something like that.

@TheWindel I sort of agree with you. Mainly because I'm already left in the dust at this point. However, (and this is directed at those speed posting) if you don't want others to read your posts, then what's the point of posting them? If you both have time to speed post, find a fic idea to do and do it in PM. I've had these issues before and this is a solution that... sort of worked. I mean, I can't say anything because the RP this RP is modeled after is sort of at a stand still for various and some unknown reasons (waiting for NK to jump out and attack me for running my mouth again), but I think that is a viable solution if you simply want something to bid your time.

I don't know the posts you've been making, but take an idea based off of the RP with your characters (the ones interacting) and make a fic out of it. It might give you some ideas on where you want to see your character's relationships to progress. Just a thought.

@liferusher I'm sorry for not posting yet, Lifey. The flu has hit me harder than I imagined it would. I'll try to get a post out today. Is there anyone open and willing to interact with a catfolk? She's very finicky and might not stay long, so don't worry about being stuck with her. If I think I won't post for a while, I'll just have her run off. However, I don't want to have to deal with reading a butt ton of posts to reply to. So if her interaction could be with one or two character in isolation, that would be perfect and I would love you forever.

Shall we try That out :3
