With all the characters injured and having gone down and some players possibly no longer posting (not sure who was supposed to be on what team anymore, feels like activity's gone down), this might be a good spot to call an end to the CTF both IC and OOC-wise @tipssyCalibrator. What do people think?

Also I may or may not post these coming couple of days since Holy Week stuff with the family and Easter and all that.

@Zero Hex

I'd be fine with it either way, yeah. CTF event participation is definitely down from what it was and students are just sorta walking away, so it'd probably be fine to do a timeskip to after the event or something.

@Zero Hex

I just got back home, so I'll be more frequent with my posts. That being said, the CTF did indeed slow down to an awkward point. I'm still down to continue until at least one side captures the flag, but at the same time, I guess a skip is alright

[VitaVitaAR]

I'm honestly just really lost as to what to do right now again.

[tipssyCalibrator]

Honestly, I was kind of considering that myself

Does everyone want to skip right to the next event, or just skip to the end of the game?

[Silver Carrot]

@tipssyCalibrator

What's the difference between those two?

[Azereiah]

Skipping to the end of the game and to first classes would give a chance for less aggressive interactions, I think. Could give it a few days before moving on to the next event -- I feel that would be somewhat less awkward than just saying "stuff happened and now it's several days later"

edit: Also, just realized, people always seem to post while I'm watching animu. New plan: watch animu constantly. \o/

@Azereiah

This is exactly what I meant, yeah. On the one hand, I feel like it would be really awkward and sudden if we just skipped to the next event (especially since I planned for it to be at least an in universe month after the CTF game). However, due to the lack of activity right now, I feel like just having the players interact with each other by themselves might not be a viable option right now

EDIT: Oh wow I read that post wrong. Give me a break, I just woke up :S. But that does actually sound like a good idea

[tipssyCalibrator]

Just so everyone is on the same page here: the idea is that, because of the lack of activity, we will be time skipping to shortly before the next school event (which will be the hunger games survival thing, BTW). It will be announced to all the students in universe beforehand so the characters can take some time to prepare themselves, and then it'll probably start pretty soon after that. Is everyone alright with that idea?

[Silver Carrot]

@tipssyCalibrator

That's fine with me, yeah. How much can you say we're allowed to have grown?

I'm not going to have any of Mina's powers unlocked during a timeskip, but she might unlock one of them during the games themselves.

Also going to have to talk with 13org about how much Mina will have learned in a month.

[Western Robot]

@tipssyCalibrator I thought we were just skipping to the end of CTF. If we go to the next event would we be skipping stuff like new students meeting their mentors?

[Silver Carrot]

@Western Robot

Ooh, that's a point. We haven't done mentor picking yet.

@Silver Carrot

Well I did plan for the exam to be a month after the CTF game, so whatever you think is logical for her

I'm honestly just really lost as to what to do right now again.

@VitaVitaAR

(Meant to quote this before)

This will probably be a good thing for you then, since we're essentially putting the CTF game behind us and starting over with a new event

@tipssyCalibrator I thought we were just skipping to the end of CTF. If we go to the next event would we be skipping stuff like new students meeting their mentors?

@Western Robot

This is a good point. I'm sure everyone will want to meet their mentors before the timeskip. Hmmm...

[Azereiah]

@tipssyCalibrator I'm up for that -- mostly. Still feel like we should do a day or two of downtime to pick mentors and such before skipping to the day before the event. We can do some PMing between eachother to see where character relations stand after that if need be.

@Azereiah

So we should do two timeskips then? That might solve the problem, though it also might be a little weird and confusing

[Silver Carrot]

@tipssyCalibrator

No, just resolve the CTF (cancellation or somebody winning) in the next post, then the next item on the first day's itinery is mentors and students picking each other, then we can timeskip.

There isn't really a rush to start the Hunger Games bit as soon as possible, and trust me, this is NOT what an rp that's slowed to a crawl looks like. If nobody posted in a week, then I'd start worrying about that.

@Silver Carrot

Alright, that sounds fairly reasonable

Heh, as a way of settling the game maybe someone could have stolen the flag while everyone was distracted and focused on Brock's injury (I mean the game is still technically going after all, no one called a time out or anything). I feel Hana would make the most sense (and would also be the funniest), considering she's fast and she would prefer to take action when no one's watching her (though I'm worried that might come off as making her look a bit OP)

@tipssyCalibrator

Nobody's guarding their flag at the moment, since Zeke just tackled Musashi and Rumi to the ground.

Unless someone else wants to get in the way, of course. Make your concerns heard, people!

[Yuuta]

Ryuuto comes out of nowhere and steals both flags with his strings. "Hah, your tactics are pathetic!" His glasses gleam, but then all the players unite and blow him up with a blast of concentrated friendship.

[Dblade26]

So Not-So-Swirly Glasses was the villain ALL ALOOOOOOOOONG!!!?

That explains everything!
