Timeskips would be alright, with provisions of OOCly working out if anything important [i]may[/i] have happened during the skip afterwards, and maybe a side-quest RP if we really want to go into detail about it later-on.

So basically the Sear's Tower approach to writing through the path of least resistance.

Like if you don't want to get too in-depth ICly about general zoology, science, math, and history that had already been covered extensively OOCly; we can canvas over it. As roleplays tend to have higher footnote-to-post ratios than a Tolkien book, a deleted scene is far less detrimental to storytelling.

That said, if you want to roleplay a scene, is that not reason enough to roleplay it?
