Your character has been added to the cast list. You may now post IC at your leisure.

@The New Yorker Sorry for repeating myself

What is the max number of role players allowed for this role play?

@TheDuncanMorgan

I'm sorry for not noticing you've asked it.

There isn't a hard limit. I believe this story can handle as many people as we have now. Perhaps one or two more. I tend to insulate myself in case anyone drops out, however. So any estimation as to how many characters we need vs. how many characters we have can only be made once all or some have posted.

I suppose I should give you a solid answer. A hesitantly stated 9 PC's will have to suffice for now. We currently have 7.

@The New Yorker Thanks :)

Just feelin' like shit today. Sicknesses and what not, can't really focus on my duties.

@SirBeowulf

That's fine. Perhaps leave the announcements for when the posts are completed from now on. I've learned that after a career in embarrassment.

@The New Yorker Any idea as to how long our characters will be on this ship before reaching Morocco?

@MacabreFox

Roughly a week in story time, probably less. As for rounds of posts, it depends on the PC's. How long does everyone want to be here, how long does it take to respond to certain situations we come across? My best guess is 4-5 rounds of posting, but that could be wrong. I generally don't like answering questions like that because they're impossible to answer accurately.

More importantly, whenever someone is asking it, it's not a good sign for morale. I assure you, there will be plenty of things to keep us busy while on the open ocean.

[SirBeowulf]

Thar she blows! Off the starboard bow!

[The New Yorker]

@TheWizardLizard has unfortunately left the RP, and so has been removed from the cast list. I appreciate your contributions, and your respectful timely withdrawal.

[MacabreFox]

@The New Yorker Ok (: I was just wondering. Oh I don't doubt that our morale will be down by any means. If anything I'm excited to get another round up of posting!

[SirBeowulf]

And posted. TAKE IT. TAKE IT YOU DIRTY SLU-

@SirBeowulf

Not only will I take it, I'll thank you afterwards. Well done. I can already see a slap in Wes' future.

@MacabreFox

Don't feel any pressure to wait for anyone else. There aren't organized rounds of posting, so feel free to get whipped up in you inspiration. As I should have said at the beginning, collaborative posts are encouraged!

[MacabreFox]

@The New Yorker Well as you now know, @TheDuncanMorgan and I will be collaborating for our next post. But now everyone else knows as well. A master-piece in the process but hopefully not to horribly lengthy.

@MacabreFox
Out of curiosity, were you planning on having Artemisia respond or react to Wes or Catarina in your post? It's just going to be really awkward if she and Omerdo go off on a tangent while they're just standing there.

@Fairess

Its a matter of how they write it. Honestly, it seems like these conversations could realistically be addressed with a "thank you," and a shy nod.

RPing is a collaborative medium. And, certainly, outright ignoring the dialogue of others is rude. But we have to consider the interests of others as well. If a player feels like their character wouldn't engage heavily in a certain discussion, and does so respectfully, we ought to respect that. A silver lining in the whole business is that you and SirBeowulf can spark up a conversation of your own.

@Fairess@The New Yorker
Perfectly said. However, I intend to kill two birds with one stone. I'll address Catarina and Wes, in one post, wherein, Omero, who can freely engage Artemisia on conversation, but I don't think Artemisia would trust him enough no matter what he said to leave the company of good cheer, food and excitement. Then, that would leave either of you the option to respond directly back to me (: or carry on elsewhere. The point of our collab basically is for an introductory dialogue between the two of our characters. Or I would at least assume :

@The New Yorker

The reason I brought it up is not to complain, but to discuss and collaborate. I understand the logic, naturally, but just wanted to see if the doors of conversation were open should Catarina have more to say. A conversation may begin with brevity, but like any confrontation, it may also dip into an actual discussion. It's relevant to know intention in a group setting, particularly so I can plan/write accordingly.

@MacabreFox
That sounds good to me! I'll get a feel for the flow of things once we see your post.

I couldn't have of a better solution! Well done.
