[OOC] The Legion of Superheroes RETURN

[KatherinWinter]

@The Kid Lantern it's been 15 days that s too long to wait. It's been 7 days since I posted. I left it vague because other theN knighthawk I don't know who is where. I'm not going to wait a week for posts.

@KatherinWinter

It's nearing the holidays so I assumed there would be hiccups, and I posted the IC around Thanksgiving. Knighthawk had to take some time away but immediately got back into the scene with a post when he'd returned. @Drewvonawesome and @Weird Tales both posted about going to the training session and you could've made something happen there. I try and take notes on what's happening and such in the titanpad and always encourage anyone to check that out, especially if a few of us are on there discussing the game and characters. We may already have a couple dropouts but it's still early in the game to assume the three silent folks aren't gonna show. I'll PM them if for some reason the @ tags aren't doing anything. I know @Aro is having internet complications ATM, and @Endrance just finished her finals week yesterday. Haven't heard anything from @FantasyChic though.

Three players haven't posted. Four are returning from action in the field. Three are in the training area. I know it's a big cast and a lot is going on, but everything's there in the posts. I think you could still play Shadow off as a more lone wolf character, hence the not immediately jumping into a training session with a couple of noobs and a reincarnated Hawkman. But if you wanna call it quits it's cool.

@The Kid Lantern I don't want to but I feel like I'm wasting my time. It might be the holidays but that's no excuse for seven days of no post. I don't do well with individual post. That's why I want to be in a group. I haven't seen anyone but knighthawk in the training room. Maybe I missed the post but I have been reading most of the podt. Titianpad doesn't work on my phone so that isn't an option

@KatherinWinter

You waited seven days after the IC was posted to post yourself, so complaining about others taking as long is a bit hypocritical. Aside from knighthawk and yourself, the only other two people at HQ who weren't on the mission were going in for the training session. If you're doing everything from your phone it's understandable you might've missed a couple posts, but they're quite literally the only posts that aren't smack in the middle of the first battle. It's hard to miss them.

If you want to bow out that's fine, but don't do it under the pretense seven days is too long to wait for a post or interactions when it took you seven days to get a post up yourself [and you didn't actually try to interact with anyone yet]. I'm here to have fun with a superhero themed RP, not waste anybody's time. Especially around the holidays.

[KatherinWinter]

@The Kid LanternI only took seven days because I didn't realize those not I'm battle could post. I thought you wanted to focus on the fight and introduce the ones not fighting when the fighters returned. That is my fault. But I only saw post for the battle nothing for base until @knighthawk's post. I've been at the guild three years, although I'm new to casual. It's never taken seven days for someone to post in the IC. I want to write. I don't mind waiting a reasonable amount of time. But no post in seven days is a bit much. As much as I like this idea I don't know if I can wait several days for the IC to move.

@KatherinWinter Somebody asked pretty early on about when to post, pretty much as soon as the IC was posted. I answered immediately after.

So question, if 4 go on this mission, does that mean the rest need to sit and wait for their turn?

@FantasyChic

If four of us go into it the rest can post out of battle from HQ, getting to know one another, etc. Four players on one or two enemies won't take long at all.

~KL~

@The Kid Lantern

As far as not seeing anything being posted from HQ outside of the ongoing battle, @Drewvonawesome posted before and right after @knighthawk, and @Weird Tales had a nice sized opening post as well that was pretty hard to miss. There were posts in less than seven days, IDK where you're getting the math wrong. You posted an IC post eight/nine days ago [the site said 8 a minute ago now it says 9...] and 'hawk posted five/six days later. If you want interaction you have to make it happen, unless you want us to come to you and you're being a lone wolf or something. If you've got some Casual length posts in you then by all means don't run off. However it does seem like you're missing quite a bit between the IC and OOC, what we've been over, and who's doing what. Read what you might've missed and show me you got another solid post in you, make the boys look like idiots in the training area, make conversation with one of them while making a grande entrance in a sea of shadows, catch up to one of the recruits who just got back from the mission, etc. You can still do a lot with your character, but nobody can do it for you.

@The Kid Lantern

I guess I missed that. I apologize.

[rocketrobie2]

I'll try to get a post up in the nest few days here. Sorry for the wait.

[rocketrobie2]

Sorry for the shorter post. I've been pretty tired for the past month or so. Hopefully I'll start ot bounce back from this soon.

[Omega Man]

'Last Son of Daxam' is such a good title for Ultra Boy II. If I didn't already use that then I'm gonna steal it for later LOL

~KL~

[Omega Man]

If nobody's gonna do anything in the training area I'll go ahead and timeskip about a day ahead and begin another low level mission for a few more of you...

I'll check back in tonight after work and see if anybody's posted yet.

~KL~

[Omega Man]

I'm off work today so I'm gonna move this game forward with a slight timeshift. It's apparent we've lost a couple people but we've still got enough to move forward. I won't horribly maim or kill anyone's characters just on the off chance they return after the holidays are over.

12/23/16 EDIT: Yesterday while I was under my house a water pipe busted. Took most of my day and it's still not completely fixed. May be late this afternoon before I can get another post up.

Merry Christmas all!



Got a post up for some civilian stuff since it's in a slow spot of the holiday season. Anybody feel free to jump in I left it pretty vague. I set @Weird Tales up for a bit of a convo before blasting something out of the sky with my boy's heat vision. I also went ahead and assumed we lost our shadow manipulator and wrote her out and worked with the three recruits who haven't posted within the story in case any of them decide to return after the holidays. Also mentioned Sol and Momentum talking days earlier! Who's up for some character development?!? Lets get to know our peeps in-game!

~KL~

[Weird Tales]

@The Kid Lantern you into family guy now?

[Gisk]

Is there room for people joining in here?

[Omega Man]

Sure is since we've had a few disappear on us! Let me know what you've got in mind for a hero...!

~KL~

[Bluetommy]

Sorry guys, christmas was crazy, I'll catch up and try to make something.

[Omega Man]

@Tengri, @Drewvonawesome, @Weird Tales, @rocketrobie2, and @knighthawk

C'mon guys where you hiding? Using the holidays as a reason to have some down time in-game with our heroes until more of us have checked in, THEN we'll get back into the thick of things. If you guys read my last post you'd know I was planning on something story-wise with the absent recruits.

Also, @Gisk will be joining us soon with a new champion of Shazam in the 31st century.

Lastly, THREE of us are about to level up with our next posts! Ultra Boy, Ferro Lad, and Momentum will be the first few heroes to gain another stat point.

~KL~

[DrewVonAwesome]

Uh I don't know I haven't been able to focus on role plays lately. Lot of different reasons, I'll try to get something up later.

[Omega Man]

@DrewVonAwesome That's why the focus is downtime in our civies in-game, the holidays will always get to even the best of us. I'm physically drained from all the running around. @rocketrobie2 had Momentum trying to befriend Bulk Lad in his last post!
