K, so like this next post ...urms round 3, is gunna be rather short-ish (..cuz we all post big'uns...) right? And kinda like a set up to intro the NPC without us actually doing motions or dialogues for the NPC right?

~Edz~ Oh! And so like for round 4 then we respond to the NPC then go on our merry way to the haven?

Yep, you got it :)

I know I'm prone to long posts, and in the beginning - especially since there's been no interaction so far - it's been necessary. However, as we go on shorter posts will be more normal because there will be conversations and other things.

Also, I think I'm going to institute a 'skip' mechanism, so that when someone is super busy, or vanishes or, w/e, the game can continue without everyone getting stuck.

So, let me know what you guys all think, and if everyone's cool with it we'll implement this starting tomorrow:

-I will post twice a week. The day before my post goes up I'll post here to let everyone know.
-If you miss one posting round you can simply tack it on at the beginning of your next post (or PM me if it's an NPC interaction and we can do a short joint post to get you caught up)
-If you miss two rounds you'll need to contact me, but likely you can just get all caught up in one post or a short joint post.
-If you vanish for 3 rounds (aka a week and a half) without telling me anything, I'll make your character inactive, but you can get caught up with a PM)
-2 weeks (4 rounds) with no notification and we'll figure it out if we get there.

Of course valid reasons will just mean you'll need to get caught up, no problems, but if people start vanishing for 2-3 weeks at a time without any notification/reason and come back expecting to have no problems...we'll have to have a chat. TBH though I'd really rather not have to deal with any of that. I'm nice and fair and I'd rather just enjoy the game.

I'll be adding the posting guidelines to the first OOC post, along with a few basic rules (nothing scary, don't worry ;) )

Any questions???

Also, I will be posting tomorrow for sure.

I think we're going to do a slight variation. Sorry...I've got a plot going, but I'm not stellar at this 'putting things into practice' business. *sigh* Please feel free to question me, it helps.

In order to get the coordinates You need to have a short conversation with the NPC. They have information, you need to get it.

Each PC will have a few back and forth posts with their NPC. Max of 4 posts each. Once you have your info and are ready to move on you're done this round and another poster can have their turn. Because of this you'll need to be able to be fairly active for the day or so (hopefully) it will take to finish the conversation. If you're super busy just let another player go first, and we'll get everyone through. *sigh* this GMing business is tough!

Again, I'm always open to suggestions.

*Added*

Ok folks, Nem and I are going to wrap up our section tonight (I hope :) ), so who would like dibs on the second position this round? Anyone have free time tonight and TM?

Welp, that's the first section of this round down. Next! :)

If possible I'd like to do one character per day this round. So, who wants to play? :)

No one has time today I suppose...

Who ever wants to go next can just put up their next post...I'd prefer ASAP.

I can try and get something up tomorrow night, but it wont be until about 8 or 9 EST. And i work all next day until 5 so If someone wants to go before me that would probably be better.

Sorry, been busy as fuck helping a friend move. Will start on it tonight, and hopefully finish tomorrow.

I hope your friend got you pizza, or brownies.

K, gunna try for a post tomorrow too!!!

~BOING!!!~

Idea! Instead of posting back and forth between NPC and Rp'er... can we just post and edit in our charrie response? LIke, k... urms for example:

Bunnita posts: Polly goes to McDonalds and leaves opening for Nikhil
Nemaisare posts: Nikhil meets with Polly
Bunny edits in: Interaction with Nikhil
Nemaisare edits in: Interaction with Polly

Etcetra and stuffs. Like I think it will be easier to follow than to see like a gajillion posts by err'body? We could separate the edits with titles? Does that make sense?

That would be fine by me. Does anyone have a preference?

If we were going to do it that way id just rather do a joint post...seems like less fuss and easier to follow than having to scroll down, then back up, then down again. *shrugs* theres no limit on how many posts we can have (or at least I don't think there is...) and reading it sequentially makes more sense to me.

For me? This. The idea of jumping up and down on a page (or between pages), just seems....really unintuitive.

I personally would rather just do collaborative post. Easier and that way if it takes a little longer for one person to reply it wont hold anyone up. Ill try and get my first part written tonight, though it might not be until tomorrow thst it gets finished. If we are collaborating I assume I send it to Nemaisare yes?

Chaotic, yup. Go right ahead and pm Nem :)

Goldmarble, I know you said you won't have tons of time, but if you'd like to do a collaborative post you can pm me whenever.

Will try. Been having trouble with my ISP lately. Trying to get it going asap.

Goldmarble and I are getting close to done on our joint post, it should get up sometime tonight or tomorrow.

Where are the rest of you guys at? I'd like to have everyone traveling to Haven by Friday, do you think we can manage that???

Having terrible computer problems right now, im only able to get on through my phone. Im working on getting it fixed so hopefully it won't be much longer.

Hihihihihihiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!

Yeah, just PM'ed with Nemsies!^^ HOpefully getter dun tomorrow in one go! Been really sick of late so sorry for disappearing. but She gunna whip muh cottontail into it and we gunna getter dun yushereee!!!! YeeeHAW!!!! ;D Later bunnies^^
