Yeah, but when you've got people who specifically asked to hold off so that they could involve their characters with others or however they wished to see fit, I've got a problem when that's neglected.

An additional post, considering the average length of each one thus far, for those people does not hurt the progression by any means. I would have much preferred to at least seen some actual interesting qualities in everybody's characters besides the eventual "I'm suffering from PTSD due to this breach" episode.

I'll try to get a post up later today.

I've posted my response with enough room for interaction with my character; perhaps we meet up on the way towards the boats or you came along with me. Whicher is fine! Don't be afraid to latch onto me like a flea!

@Solace

It's a fair point you're making and I don't disagree. I also don't want this to fall down to a "what's done is done" scenario because then everyone is unhappy.

In my case, I personally planned to have a post up before things sped up. I'm in a different time zone to most of y'all, you're mostly posting when I'm asleep and then I'm at work so I'm often going to be 18 hour behind or so; in this case splitting one's post between pre-attack and then to cover the attack itself seems to be the best course of action for those who didn't get another in before events took a turn.

It's difficult for GMs to balance keeping a pace and allowing everyone to post and, in this case, there wasn't a time skip meaning that everyone completely misses out and they can split their posts to cover initial reactions to the attack. My impression that the main aim of this RP was for during their training and then after they 'graduate', as it were, and the battle in Trost. Spending more time in the 'prologue' stages has its own advantages but I also see the benefits of starting the main events.

Also, I have more confidence in those assembled here for this not to descend into a simple "we all have PTSD" situation. Again, a valid fear and quite possibly a likely outcome but, judging by the posts so far, I doubt that'll happen.

Tl;Dr: I don't disagree, perfectly valid point, best solution is to split posts between before and after attack posts.

@Solace
Gabriel is a leader! He ain't gonna suffer from no PTSD! Well...at the very least, if he does, he's gonna do a pretty damn good job of hiding it, like the Sergeant from Fury...I don't remember his name. I doubt he'll really get PTSD, though. Besides, PTSD isn't immediate. If anyones character decelops it, it will take time.

Grant is just some guy who is sort of there. PTSD doesn't happen to people who aren't important like him!

Well, Tanner is already paranoid. What's the worst that could happen?

@Jinxer

Unfortunately, it's still likely to leave a bit of a sour outlook for myself and probably some others, but I've been through this type of cesspool for the seven or so years I've been writing on the Guild, and I can adapt accordingly without as much bad blood. That seems to be the only better approach, and I rather take that approach then do something unspeakably ridiculous like revert the timeline. Thanks for at least considering.

I would just hope that there is actual communication for times to come, instead of jumping the gun.

I'm just upset that nobody got to say WHAT'S IN THE BOX to Reese

Wait there's a box

Wait there's a box

u srs

@Solace I haven't been able to read any of the posts since last night. I come in, check to see if I have any PM's, make an errant comment on the OOC and back to work I go. Like I said, I wasn't the one who made the most recent post that's under my name.

@wolverbells

I know, just messing around.

Too bad there won't be a box for anyone, anymore! Those damn Titans always ruining everything..

@wolverbells He had a box of meat. To which Mora will be very upset that she wasn't able to eat any. And you know- all the death. She's probably going to be a little upset about that too.

Fuck the peasants, we've gotta go back for that slice of Black Forest Ham.

@Solace "hey watcha got in the box?" "My meat." *jade thinks 48292 perverted thoughts.

@HecateProxy Food is more important than deaths.

@LordVoldemort I honestly have never had that.

@Solace And I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you meddling Titans.

@wolverbells

It's pretty good ham. Goes very well in sandwiches. Also, you watch your lewd mouth.

@wolverbells that's lewd!

@LordVoldemort And become slices of ham for those Titans ourselves? Nothing like the adrenaline of near death experiences and eternal suffering all around to keep the heart pumping, amirite

@Solace@wolverbells

Maybe we need to return to find out what's in the box after the time skip?

What if in thou said box was a rendition of Grant dancing to the full Muse discography?

Personally...I would really like to see that.
