Loremaster Announcement

So just to make this official. If lore has not been discussed among, and agreed upon, by the group or conversely approved by both GMs then I will not consider it, and no one else is required to consider it "established canon." This rule applies to everyone, including us GMs.

Site Announcement

This is an announcement to let everyone know that I'm revamping the site's original design. I have some coded mock-ups, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I will not be posting this site until I have all the lore from them that they want on it. This is because if I have to continually edit in and change things around, it will become somewhat of a hassle for me. However, you should also keep in mind that since you're sending me your information you have the right to request how it looks on the page, or what the page for the information as a whole looks like. I will do my best to fulfill your request. The only thing that won't change is the general themes I have set up for it.

Pictures of the mock-ups:

Landing Page
Single Subject Theme
Multiple Subject Theme

You'll notice the difference between the single subject theme and the multiple subject theme is that there's an extra navebar/box on the multiple subject theme. This will be how you navigate the subjects. Take species for example, when you click on it it will have blurbs about each race, and then you can click on one of the links to the right side of the page for more in depth information on a particular race.

[Fallenreaper]

Celaira and I was talking in skype over the site design and such, which I mentioned there was some aspects I really would've had liked to see in the newer version. Celaira said I should share, well nudged me, so this image below pretty much explained my reasons. Anyone that has other thoughts or feel otherwise, feel free to pipe up to explain why. I won't bite...much? :p

@Celaira

Only telling the truth hun.

[Wind Wild]

Guys, can we move to evening? Also having time go a bit quicker IC might be something to consider if we want future events to happen in this calendar year (like the academy tragedy which shouldn't happen on the 4th day of school). Maybe is we only spend two-three weeks real time (give or take, depending on the situation) on a single IC day?

@Wind Wild

There's still collabs going on in the afternoon. However, I thought we were allowed to skip around in the day as long as it was written at the top of the post, and was within the same day? I also thought it was decided we were changing the tragedy for now?

@Wind Wild

The bad part about establishing 2-3 weeks in real time, I would only get a limited amount of things done since most the IC is collabs. Which time spent depends on many factors, namely at least one collab can take up to about 1-2 week depending on how many are involved and devoted free time. There's more problems trying to do that way imo. Namely as I could likely only get one collab per IC day, 3-4 depending if I'm lucky and pushy. For me, this leaves what happens the rest of the IC day blank and denies a lot of PC development for my characters.

However, I do agree with periods of skipping like say a week or more IC rather than going each individual day. Especially if it helps to spread events around and make it less clustered to one end. Mainly as it covers time without having to rp the dull, every day aspects as even exciting events get dull after happening next to each other. I know we do this in Blood often, with weeks to month skips in order to cover the years it takes to develop their magic. It would also help establish a length of time without us having to rp it and make the events seem wider spread out compared to what they have been. Though I think if something major happens, like I know Rtron's going to try to kidnap Olivia again and might get her this time, there should be less of a time skip. Namely as I can't see Aeris, due to Mairyell's tracking ability and likely aid, allowing Olivia to go missing for longer than a week at most. IF that.

@Celaira

We are, Yosh made that announcement a while ago due to lacking IC activity in a hope to keep people from waiting to post at key times and waiting on others.

[Wind Wild]

Yeah I know that we can play around with the current day time but not everything can happen in the same day. My point is what Fallen said, making a graph of all the thing that have happened to Hazumi thus far makes the day seem ridiculously long and busy. Example: Hazumi's attended a ball, met with Aaurus, met with Szayeis, met with Ian and slept all in the span of less than 24 hours.

Meanwhile some things like relationships take longer to bud and can't all happen in the span of 3 days.
The reason why I'd prefer a RT limit over an outright timeskip is because we can still add events in the first system. If we do a timeskip of a week its assuming nothing happened (unless we narrate) while with time limits we can still post if we want to or sit it out if we don't. For example, two characters are hooking up but haven't seen each other in a week. The players sit it out and don't post for 1-2 weeks. Meanwhile someone is kidnapped and the players involved post 3 collabs in that week. Do you get my drift?

@Wind Wild

Not really, I'll have someone explain it to me later. As to the point about the ball--which happened on a different day--and whatnot. It's normal for people to have a bunch of meetings in a day, especially someone like Hazumi. It makes sense to me that it would feel like her day is dragging on. Plus, it's like day three and not that much has happened in terms of big shifts so I'm pretty content considering S1 only lasted 4 IC Days, I'd be pretty upset if that was the case here. I don't mind the 1 week time skips save for the fact it would make more work out of this than is really necessary.
