[OOC] Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

[Dervish]

@FallenreaperDon't forget an oxygen tank!

@Heat It will ascend to sainthood.

[bigscreech]

@fallenreaper I'm currently out of town and won't be able to post until Sunday or Monday:p

[Rtron]

I am so sorry.

@Dervish

I'm still climbing down Mount Zaveed and narration.

WHY. WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME DERVISH.

[Bright_Ops]

Want me to post what we have so far? Flagg isn't really saying anything.

@Bright_Ops

You could, or put it on the shelve and use as a memory for one of your posts is another option and just hop into the IC.

[Tzarima]

Hey, I'm back. If anyone feels like including Ven'ren in anything, message me.

[Ellri]

Till we return from vacation, we'll generally stick to solo posts.

If Flagg returns, @Bright_Ops, you can perhaps continue with the collaboration there then. Till that happens, we suggest jumping in to the present timeline for the Kaggath. It should make getting into the story easier for you.

[Ellri]

@dervish that IC post of yours... Does it intentionally push time forwards six hours, or is it an accidental typo in the timestamp?

[Dervish]

@Ellrilikely an error. I was trying to use another one as reference, but with shit getting mixed between after sacking and after arrival, it's just a jumbled mess.

[Ellri]

It happens to everyone.

We blame people using non-standardized timestamps.

[Dervish]

I'll edit when I get to a computer, no worries! Should I just change it to 40 minutes after boarding?

@Dervish

I suggest tacking some time on the end of that Dervish. Your last post was around 40 minutes I believe and I would assume some time passed When Jak picked up Tolun. As for how long, I suggest you use your best guess. Your next post stamp should include how long your secession with Jakali took and that's again, your call to how long.

A note to everyone, I’m going to start putting total est. of minutes (AKA, start to finish time) for in all my posts, both normal interaction to torture, just to make keeping track of my time easier.

[Ellri]

Also, it would be better to stick to time after the sacking.

[Fallenreaper]

Also, it would be better to stick to time after she sacking.

@Ellri

Don't you man the? And Ellri, check your pms, I left a message.

[Ellri]

We do. It's far to early in the morning here.

If people struggle with understanding the timestamp system, ask us. It might take a few hours to receive a response, but it will be explained.

[Dervish]

*desk fliiip*

Okay, so the original timestamp is the standard. I was wondering if it wasn't changing after a few of the other posts. I also got the 40 minites from Hawk's post where Alat was starting to talk to Tolun when he got taken away by Jak, so this whole timestamp thing is starting to get really jumbled around and I think there needs to be some universal cleanup to get everything straight because this is one of those situations where time conflicts are becoming a reality because suddenly we have several events happening right now that aren't in the same timeframe but we're starting to get them mixed up in favour of trying to talk to other characters so it's not a bunch of isolated stories. Unless we keep posting exactly how long every interaction is and doing basic arithmetic everytime somebody posts, we're going to keep running into time conflicts that can be just as easily averted if we either scrap it or restrict it to the first posts after timeskips.

Sorry, the minirant isn't aimed at anybody in particular and I'm not upset (the deskflip is silly, for instance), but I just wanted to put in my two cents and just express some mild frustration at keeping all the timestamps and posts in order, especially if we're trying to involve multiple characters in scenes dynamically instead of collabs or preordered set pieces.

[Ellri]

We've somewhat started a cleanup, but being on a tablet, we can't do it fully.

Back when we designed it, we intended to have stamps for both start and end of posts, but people struggle enough with just one stamp per post.

There are two active timestamps in the continuum. Kaggath and Memory.
Six hours, forty-five minutes for Kaggath (roughly)
Three days, five hours for Memory (also roughly)

[Bright_Ops]

Just saying this now, I'll get a post up soon... I just need to catch up with everything that has happened and its kind of a daunting task...

@Bright_Ops

Yeah, I understand that. I can come up with a summary of important events if that would make things much easier as currently the timestamps are a mess.

After Dervish's last comment, I've ear jerked Ellri into a pm with Echo and me until Ellri is no longer traveling. Let's hope there's not one less Gm and I am left digging a hole to bury Ellri's body. *Joking...mostly* :p

[Dervish]

But Fallen, I thought you liked dirty holes!
