Sorry about the delay everyone, finals are next week and I've had to cram like crazy. I'll try to post for Epsilon within the next two days, but I don't know for sure when I'll get the free time to do so. If push comes to shove I'll talk to Pro and let him decide her reaction. I definitely don't want to leave the RP so I'll try my best to get the post up.

Ten four, it's good to know the situation. Try to keep us in the loop a bit better in the future. A 12 day last online record was really scary for me.

Solo got with me and said it'd be best for me to go ahead and update, so the three teams can probably expect an update sometime this weekend, whenever I've got the downtime to devote to it.

@Spiffy How tight are those objects floating? I just assumed there'd be enough room for a person right now, but if there isn't, then Wisp has a problem and I need to edit that post.

And, uh, he just exerted force in a circle around him when he was making that whirlwind, or does he have some kind of way of knowing what's in his range? Or would Wisp just be carried along if he resumed while she was in there? ... She's ready to attempt fleeing if she notices any force on her. XD

He knows his range which is 30 ft. He is floating objects about 5 ft in a circle around himself. You can still see through, but it is clouded quite a bit. If the objects moved fast enough she would be blocking their movement making her form visible. @platinumskink

@PlatinumSkink He's limited by the Manton Effect, so he cannot affect organic life with his telekinesis. To throw her around she'd have to be weairing clothing tight and strong enough to toss her around in without breaking.

@Spiffy If it's clouded enough that you need to specify that one can still see through, then I assume it's too tight for Wisp to actually get close. She'll stop right outside and consider her options until further notice. And, heh, do you mean that her form would become visible to him or to any observer? The former would imply he knows the exact location of all he controls and feels if something's blocking the way, even behind him. The latter's, well, not really due to the way she curves light around, but things impacting her would make her presence there a lot more obvious for entirely different reasons. XD

@Spiffy@ProPro And, um, the question was not actually about Wisp, more about her clothing and items. Like, is he automatically aware of items that can be affected, is it really a storm of telekinesis that affects everything in the target area or does he select things to affect based of what he's aware of? If the first, he'd find Wisp, but it doesn't sound like that's it. If the second, that means Wisp's clothing would be affected if he started the storm and she's in it. If the third, she and her clothing would be entirely unaffected, assuming nothing hit her.

Suppose the answer to said question isn't necessarily relevant until things actually pick up, but, heh.

She would be visible to any observer. In regards to control, he can do a blanket effect of objects in the area as well as individual objects if he wants to use more force. For the second, he needs to be aware of the object. @platinumskink

@Spiffy I'm a little confused how she'd be visible to any observer. I mean... if she was hit by a whole lot of dust, the dust would simply turn invisible along with her because she's keeping the light from her physical body and all on it, though depending on her reflexes that would possibly mean there'd be an unnatural oval emptiness in it if she can't adapt. If she's hit by anything bigger, then they'd be unnaturally stopped, yes, potentially making it clear to an observer that someone's there depending on the circumstances, but she wouldn't become visible unless she somehow lost control.

But, anyways. Acknowledged. Then I know what I wanted to know. Thank you.

@platinumskink I think I was slightly mistaken as to your characters powers. I assumed all the dust and dirt particles she tried to walk through would be displaced revealing her form. If it is something different don't mind my comment.

@Spiffy Well. If she's running through dust the wind she creates by moving would stir the dust. It'd move like there's an object there, but that which hits her would vanish as it becomes part of what she's wearing and she curves the light around it. That might be visible in its own way. It's definitely not a situation she wants to be in, as little visible dust and such as possible, haha. But, yes. No worries. We'll play this out and see how it goes.

Bleh I'm kinda of working on Exhale post but I'll get warehouse and ruben post out today. Sopia won't loose hold until someone says she can so I think it's best if I wait on that.

@solokolos has setup a posting plan with me for the next 1-2 days with his last final exam about to be done. @Lugubrious is on an overseas trip with limited/unreliable internet, and other games he runs/participates in. @Eklispe, all Jacks have now posted, so you should be able to get Sophia updated soon.

I believe this addresses everyone left in the major teams. Let me know if I've missed anybody. Now that exam season should be over for everyone, I'm contemplating the enforcement of a posting requirement. I tire of this game having slowed so greatly since a certain individual ingrained in multiple important positions left us. I'll let everyone know what I've decided once I've thought things over, but know one thing. I'm a stubborn jerk and I refuse to lose. :)

There we go. Tell me if there's any problems. Wisp's still... heh... a bit innocent. So, yeah. That.

Woo! Alright, so after a metric butt ton of super busy things going on and a few days of being sick (still am but now I'm at least functional), I'm ready to start doing some mass updates everywhere on the site, but first there's an important announcement. I've let this thing get waaaay too slow. Part of it is how busy I've become with various real life issues (new father, bug infestation at home, etc.), part of it was the time of year with so many of you being in school, and part of it was just me being too understanding and forgiving. Well at this point I'm tired of everything being at a frozen standstill. So here's the deal:

While I dislike resorting to such tactics, I'll have to implement a posting requirement. I would like to see at least 1 update per week for each character, starting from the time you have been updated by me or Eklispe. If you don't update a character after 7 days from your last GM update, I'll call you out in the OOC and you'll be in a "probationary" period of another 5 days. If there's no update after that time, then the character will officially be made into an NPC and you'll lose your rights to them.

Now I'm going to be doing some mass updates across the site, and I'm saving CoD for last (since it'll take the most work). As far as the big teams go, the only one that hasn't updated yet is @Lugubrious, but I'm still able to get all three teams moving forward at this point.

Which brings me to @Nattook. I know you explained why you took so long to update over the skype chat, however you didn't do his until after already having been missing for more than 30 days. Had you kept me updated ahead of time, I'd be in a more friendly mood. However I am not one of the people who believes that it is better to ask forgiveness than permission. As such, you're on especially thin ice. Communication. Is. Key. As long as you keep me updated, I'm a laid back and understanding individual and more than willing and happy to work with everyone.

So bottom line, new posting requirement, and I'll be getting things updated by tonight (most likely).

*Flinches as he hears the whip crack*

To follow-up on the whip cracking I do forget things, if any independents need a post from me, whether it be advancing something ongoing or starting something feel free to get my attention. As far as I am aware I am caught up on the moment, though I know there are several independents that don't have a whole lot going on right now.

So as you can see, I did not update this on Friday as I predicted. Yeah. After I updated everything else on the site, my sickness hit me hard again, then yesterday was devoted to completely cleaning up the apartment and shampooing the carpet now that we've had all our treatment for bed bugs.

Today has been worse, as we discovered the bugs didn't come from the hospital, as we originally believed. No, they came from my old roommate/best friend. The same one that was staying in my mother's basement temporarily until she got her own place. So guess where else the bugs have spread? Yeeeeeeeeah. I've spent all day moving her shit from my mom's to a storage unit and helping clean that (very large) house up, and we're just now getting to do our own laundry. So yeah, that's where I've been and the kind of weekend I've been having.

Bottom line, going to try having my update for all three teams up tomorrow at lunch, as I go back to work from my leave time.

So, um. Should I post my reaction to what Swarm's doing or wait for @Eklispe or perhaps other players to post first?

From what I understand Eklispe is going to have SP throw something at Swarm and knock him out or try to. If I were you I would have Wisp react to the moving objects. @platinumskink
