[OOC] The Faraway Land

I'm not sure if adding mention tags to posts send notifications when added in post.
Though Everyone is kinda mentioned to one degree or another.

*shrug?*

@Hawlin

Adding mention tags seems to send notifications where normal replies don't.

I've been feeling like shit all weekend. Been spending my days in bed under chemical assistance. I'll review and post soon. Also, don't worry about skipping me. Shit happens.

You and Hawlin both have been having it rough lately. I hope you guys get well soon.

@Thinslayer

'In post' meaning that I edit in the '@' mention tags after posting the message.

Edit: Also, thanks. I'm feeling a lot better every day and hope Xen has the same luck with his health. x;

Certain players have expressed to me that they are feeling ignored IC, and I have noticed it to some degree myself. Hawlin, for instance, often finds that her posts go without response entirely, and I noticed that those of her posts that *do* get a response are barely touched on.

RP is fun when players take an interest in each other. It's all part of being sociable in general. Can we all try to be more aware and engaged with one another? That was the real premise behind this RP - to make the plot simple enough so players have room to develop it themselves.

You make your own plot. Develop your characters. Take action. If all we do is react, the RP will never move if I don't keep throwing things at us (like a random Warg attack, which I still feel was a cringeworthy move).

[Lord Zee]

Yes of course. I try my best to include others in my posts. As for writing something yesterday, I ended up having to take someones shift and wasn't really in the mood to write after. Today I was attempting to study for finals and all that. I'll try to post something tomorrow. Sorry for the wait guys.

@Thinslayer

I mostly agree with you on everything you've said. Just one thing though about timeline issues, etc..

I feel as though the Warg attack was a little out of place? As you say, it was a random thing you threw at us. This is just my opinion, feel free to disagree with me, but I think if we were to wait just a little longer for everyone to establish camp and then throw a Warg attack at them, it'd create more of cause for alarm. To me it just felt like they only just started walking and then a pack of Wargs come out of the forest (Even though you time skipped it a little). Mostly just mistimed I think.

I think of my character as quite separate person from myself, so their actions are defined by their personality (As obvious as that is.) Thus I'm not going to force them to do something that's not 'them' just for the sake of pushing something forward. The RP may have slowed down due to real life, but doing a timeskip and skipping dialogue that may have happened within the timeskip feels like the opportunity for characters to acknowledge others is lost.

In any case, It's fine as the GM to throw stuff at us, it helps a lot.

Like Zee, I do try to include others in my post and I apologise to anyone that feels like I've ignored them. However, please do use the [@] tag function, that helps me a lot, even if you mess it up and it doesn't notify me properly. I take the time to read everyone's posts anyway. The tag thing just helps me know who is the specific target of some things in the post.

Also: I'm just waiting for some others to post before I do, sorry.

[Hawlin]

A small concern wasn't remotely close to what it became. I still enjoy writing what I write and it isn't about who reacts to it that makes coming back to a thread worthwhile. If I didn't want to post, then I just wouldn't. I was incapacitated for a while, but I didn't mention it since the pace of the thread had been jumpy and I just worked with it.

I expected that issues I disclosed in PM would remain in pm and that issues would be discussed and worked through with time and effort. We've gotten far enough that 'quick fixes' would take time...and comperable effort from participants.
As such, I feel I've been doing my part in a casual-class rp.

Again, pardon for my absence.

@Hawlin

I do believe that editing in mentions doesn't work as it won't actually ping the other user. I just noticed you edited me into one of your posts, yet I never received a notification of it.

[Rekaigan]

@XenoCyanide@Hawlin

It's been that way for awhile now, the tagging system is still a little buggy like that. You just gotta spell the name right the first time! hahaha~

[XenoCyanide]

@Hawlin Ahem, Xen doesn't ramble, nor would he be bickering like a child with a group of people over something as trivial as a strategy of low import. :P Just sayin'. Lol

[Hawlin]

@XenoCyanide

Still ignoring you.
~3o

I wasn't really thinking while struggling out a post based on everyone else's setting the scene. Who'd be the most likely to bicker? :P

@XenoCyanide

Also, good to know.

[XenoCyanide]

@Hawlin

Haha it's fine. I'm hoping Xen will open up more as the party progresses. You have to understand, the man is old and seen some shizz in his day and tries not to get close to anyone. I'm not sure who'd most likely bicker. I don't assume anyone is doing anything unless they specifically post it, lol.

And anytime. Ran into that problem a bit ago myself. :)

[Thinslayer]

Recruiting a friend of mine to play the Warlock. Stay tuned! ;)

[Darkwatck01]

Well lets see here, if time works and salvage is a thing, time to make this event into something you can save Thin.

[Lord Zee]

Writing now.

[Hawlin]

I do have most of another post almost ready. Its mostly to add onto my last one, but eh, why not?

Edit: Its an add-on post, not a double post. >x>

[Lord Zee]

Beautiful post. I'm still working on mine, and I guess I'm going to wait on Thinslayer before posting.

[Darkwatck01]

He just peaced out, sleeping if you will. Well don't mind me, currently trolling around and reading, watching always watching. Have fun.
