[OOC] Shadow's Solace [Fantasy Epic]

[kapuchu]

Yay ^^
That'll be a fun meeting :P

[Callthecops]

Sorry for my absence. It was my turn for girlfriend visits. Anyways, I will get to work on my tree, and I already have a post written so that will be up shortly.

Also, depending on how many of our players are just quiet about OOC chat, it seems like we might need to throw down another interest check and drum up a few more characters, no?

[Syben]

Perhaps, I will PM Anzu, and Roman seems to be around.

Also cops, I'm just going to assume your IC post is a day before everyone else's, seeing as we're all in "the morning stage". Keeping to the timeline is quite important :P

[kapuchu]

Cats are not morning people!

[Callthecops]

Hmm... That works. That also makes the troll killing two days prior I suppose. The timeline issue brings me to a somewhat important question though. What if one of us progresses through their day faster than the rest? Like, some people might have a lot going on in their day and take several posts to get through, while someone else might be having a travel day (like my post) which can either be drawn out and boring, or wait a week or so for everyone to catch up.

[Syben]

It should be discussed if someone needs to stray from the timeline, generally.

In the event of boring travels, there are a lot of "filler" tactics that can be implied. Seeing an animal, a flashback, dreams, a random odd short even (meeting old people on the road and fixing their wagon? Asking about their adventures?) Should one not want to imply these tactics, then I suppose they can 'fast foward' and wait for everybody to catch up with them. There's no permanent guideline for this, as a situation is fully dynamic.

Now I'm sure you're thinking, "well I don't want to wait eight posts while Mr.McInteresting does 10,000 things in a single day. The only thing that should be kept too, as a guideline, to be contradictory, is staying within my time frame. Example, if I post and it's morning, don't not exceed past morning. If I skip all afternoon and evening and post immediately into the night, then I can wait for somebody to catch up to the current 'time', even if they need to double post, etc, but should not post past the "night". This generally makes it easy to follow whats happening, and if for some reason somebody jumps ahead of my character time wise, then they may have to wait until I pass them once more.

Also, as a note, I will warn everybody (I'll try to make it '2' posts before warning) When I'm planning to jump a period of time, giving you a chance to tie up all loose ends. By no means is this going to be a forever day-by-day posting session. In ocassion, to rule out multiple back-to-back group filler posts, we will advance time. No sense in waiting four weeks for an army (28 posts, each, and if everybody posts once a week that's a full month irl to forward your plot progression.) This is also extended to anybody else, all that needs to be done is talk to me about a time skip, and I'll see how everybody feels about it. If it's important for me to hold off on these skips, meaning someone needs a little more time to tie up the "loose ends" of their current event, then that can be arranged and a time skip post poned.

Basically talk to me about your needs, and I'll tell you my wants. Just don't pass my character in timeline and we should all stay on the same course just fine. (Time Travel, Dimensional Rifts, and Other time-related anomalies are typically excluded.)

To find something boring is a personal opinion, but if the majority of you feel someone is holding the rest of us back from the delicious meatier posts, then we can all be civil and polite about asking whomever is in question to tie up their loose ends.

[Syben]

Also heads up, Girlfriend time again (I know it's like, she never 'really' leaves xD) She got three days off so she will be arriving here tomorrow, staying two nights, and leaving on the third day.

I will be back on that third day. (If something changes you'll know about it.) Not a huge deal right now since we finally started, but I'll see if I can't hop on to answer questions. (I will be awake for a few more hours yet, though.)

[Syben]

Yo, guess who's back. Merry X-mas my band of merrymen!

[kapuchu]

So... In the middle of the process of finding a witty reply back, I came up with a small entertaining scene: Evelina standing beside a toppled over pine tree, looking embarrassed, and blushing. "I... I didn't do it."

...You know how cats sometimes push over the christmas trees :P

[Syben]

Sianna looks wistfully at the half cat humanoid, buried halfway within the topple pine tree, adorned with knick knacks and baubles. "You definitely did it."

Cat go inside christmas trees XD for whatever reason.

But anyways! Merry christmas! How about ya'll unwrap a present (in a couple of hours). I'll give you a hint: You attach a sign, or a traffic light to it!

[kapuchu]

Woo! A post!

And no... Evelina didn't do it. *stealthily(or not) removes the christmast ball from her ear from which it hung*

[Syben]

Also I'm changing Sianna's race, I felt human was a little too mainstream (as I am designing her nobility tree atm). Kelapie sounds good.

[Syben]

I will get the post up for you all two tomorrow. Unexpected christmas visitors (hurray >_<)

We shall continue as the three merrymen, until more join us.

Sure you don't mean Kelpie? Also, what the heck is a Kelapie in the event that you meant that?

[Syben]

I know what I mean :P , but she's not a dog. I thought Kelapei sounded nice. (I keep switching the i and e around, tis Kelapei.) Basically human-esque race, but with horns. You'll see what I mean when I get her nobility tree done, but finding reference pictures is damn hard, I'm going to have to doctor some.

[kapuchu]

Heh. Alrighty then.

Hurray for being two non-humans or elves ^^

[Syben]

Now if we could only get a few more players :P

Eventually haha.

(Also callthecops, any word on your family tree? I'm not sure if you sent it to me and I just don't remember.)

[kapuchu]

Well, there was a friend of mine who wanted to join. He shoulda sent you a PM if he finished it.

[Syben]

Antimus? If so, I haven't heard back from him.

[kapuchu]

Yup. That guy. Hmm... Just tried contacting him, no response. In his defense, though, it's in the middle of the holiday season. Prolly with his family.
