[OOC] The Faraway Land

[Thinslayer]

@Thinslayer
A bit confused about the town incident? What exactly is happening? Thanks so much! :) Awesome RP!

@ineffable

Somebody ate somebody, and Vert is sitting in a pool of blood crying about it. Our Champions think somebody else did it. They are scouring the town for a monster that is probably not an orc.

[Thinslayer]

Also, once the whole party begins in the morning, I think we should have a posting order since there are a lot of us. What do you think @Thinslayer

@XenoCyanide

If we're going to do a posting order, I'll need to know everyone's availability and time zones to optimize it.

[Hawlin]

I mean, it's implied Vert bit her own fingers off to make herself look like a victim. That still doesn't explain the hulking shadowy figure fleeing the scene.

@Thinslayer

Just nudging in here but how about just anyone posting at anytime though we know when we need to post (so maybe a small reminder or nudge after each post for someone to go next)?

[XenoCyanide]

@Hawlin That's what I thought at first, but it wouldn't be good RP if I disregarded the shadowy figure.

@Thinslayer I think that would be the best option currently so the rest of the RP goes smoothly. Random posting order is fine in a situation like this where there is controlled freedom (ha, oxymoron?) but when the nitty gets gritty later on, keeping a cohesive methodology of posting I think would make it flow a lot better, and not have people lost in the sauce, so to speak.

It's up to you, tho. It's your RP :)

I'm -0600 Central Time, by the way.

@ineffable

I really should have thought of that. >.<
Let's do that, then. ^_^

[Rekaigan]

I'll get a post up tomorrow if nobody goes for Zeno. Probably help out with tracking the monster! @XenoCyanide

@Rekaigan

Yeah that's a pretty good idea, might join your character haha

[XenoCyanide]

@ineffable That -may- work, but my fear is that with such a large group, and the availability for some might be higher than others and would result in some people feeling like they are being left behind.

OR...

We can institute a rule with post-structuring where we describe who we are talking to or referring to, or just adding mentions in them. An example would be something as follows:

---

Elysian Fields

Speaking To: My Cat Stroodles

---

You can also use this structure for world building by adding a weather system, time of day, etc. @Thinslayer

[ineffable]

@XenoCyanide That's an extremely good point. I know right now people are still feeling out of the loop or have not much things to do. How about everyone just writing how much they are on on some kind of list. I mean the second idea is fine as well but people might still be left out of the loop anyways

[Rekaigan]

@ineffable@XenoCyanide

Perhaps people are just being like me and not taking initiative~

As for that second idea, I'm actually going to start putting in a header and tags in a similar manner when I post again. (Because I kind of forgot about doing it because everyone else wasn't doing it lel)

[ineffable]

@Rekaigan
Haha then I suppose that is I as well...

[Rekaigan]

@ineffable

Come to town square and talk to Zenovia then, she's lonely and needs to make friends!

How many people are on the beast hunt anyway? @XenoCyanide

[XenoCyanide]

YAY! Look at me being a trendsetter and all that jazz!

I saw another RP that had it structured that way and it made me eyegasm.

@Rekaigan Currently it is myself, Storyteller, and I do believe Tiberius joined the fray in his last post. So just the three of us. Kaite is getting lovey-dovey with an orc. :P

[ineffable]

@Rekaigan
I think she's already at town square. Then we can head over together I suppose :)

[Hawlin]

It's not like that!
D;<

Kaite would be on the hunt for the monster, too, if her own beast hadn't come along and swept her off her feet.

[Hawlin]

Also EW Gorman! What the hell?

[XenoCyanide]

@Rekaigan Oh man that post looks gorgeous! I dig it!

[Rekaigan]

@XenoCyanide
Considering finding a font from one of those '1001fonts' things to get a custom one for the name~

[XenoCyanide]

@Rekaigan

Say, that's not a bad idea at all! Dammit, now I need to spend another hour looking at fonts while watching Luke Cage and Dumb and Dumber simultaneously.
