[OOC] Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

[TheEvanCat]

I'm back from getting depressingly drunk alone in New York City, what's going on?

@TheEvanCat

Did you lean up against some Italian guy and cry?

[Shyri]

After putting thought to it more, I'm trying to decide between Japan, Syria and Greece. Not sure which would be the best choice/ which I would enjoy the most yet, though.

[Morden Man]

I would opt for Japan if I were you. Especially if you're familiar with them.

@Shyri

Didn't you originally play Japan anyway? Your canon is still active, I think.

@Chapatrap

That was Shyroo or something, I forget his name. Whatever the case: he hasn't posted in forever so he doesn't matter much anymore.

Moral of the story: post, faget

Well, in the way way back, in the ancient days of ancient yore, Feoshyri definitely did do a stint as Japan. I believe that was his first country.

@Vilageidiotx

And if he wants it back: ok.

[Shyri]

Yeah, Japan was what I first played in PoW. And I'll go ahead and just pick it back up then.

[Dinh AaronMk]

So Byrd posts again and now I'm depressingly behind. So I went to work on writing.

Got a page done because I spent so much time doing refresher research on things and figure out a location even if that page I wrote is inside.

[Dinh AaronMk]

Now I really need to get to work on my post.

@Dinh AaronMk

Nah, I just drank alone in a rented apartment to deal with the crippling societal loneliness that being a soldier entails.

Never stop saluting.

[Vilageidiotx]

Three posts in twenty four hours. That's pretty impressive.

[Byrd Man]

I've got a fourth one I could post... but I'll wait.

@Vilageidiotx

Choo fucking choo.

It's like I can validate having the present time-scale again.

[TheEvanCat]

WELCOME TO POW WHERE THE TIMESCALES ARE A SUGGESTION AND THERE ARE NO RULES.

It's amazing I've been with you dickholes for like four fucking years.

[Morden Man]

There's a suggested time scale? This is the first I'm hearing of this.

Every five pages is a month. Currently it is mid-July, 1980. What Aaron is talking about is that, since it takes us a while to clear five pages, time in Precipice moves waaayyy slower than time in the real world. In the year and a half we've been in the RPG, we've only covered two and a half months.

But, as Evan says, the month system is just a thing we pretend exists to make Aaron feel good, so don't worry about it too much, because the only real effect of the system is to make shit happen very quickly in the Precipice world.

The most infamous example of how this time system works is the North American War timeline, as demonstrated in this handy dandy gif.



...and it is 1970 there because we've had a habit of occasionally skipping time. So the periods in PoW that were actually RPed were January 1970 to April 1971, May 1976 to August 1977, and Febuary - March and May - July of 1980. Also don't worry too much about that, because with the African War and the evolution of our RPing styles, I don't see a timeskip in our immediate future.

Also, did Byrd discover meth? That posting rate makes Aaron look like Hugs.
