[OOC] RWBY: Shades of Black

[Chronothesis]

Is the post order, the order of the team names in the IC?

[Cello]

I believe so.

[Chronothesis]

I believe so.

@Leslie Hall

Thanks! <3

I don't waaaaannnttt to wait for loads of people to post before me. /sulks

Though for serious, doesn't the team order seriously restrict not only narrative freedom but consistency within the world? If we force someone to post before someone else, that necessitates them acting beforehand, when such an action might not be necessary. Say for example that poster Y is the best member of the team to silently incapacitate a person in the team's way, but X has the post. Seems fucking retarded that X would not play to this if it is part of his character to want to achieve success, for example, and it seems odd that Y would also not mention this, but because of this posting order, neither can play to their hypothetical characters.

EDIT Suggestion for solution:
We make a titanpad for operations and post every few hours with whatever's there, being courteous to not step on the toes of fellow players.

@Zetsuko I just realized there was a posting order. This is what I get for rolling out of bed and not reading all the OOC posts. If you've got the next order god forbid I go against the GMs

[Zetsuko]

@Zugzwang sure...why not...

I'm actually directly after you in the order

[Mr_pink]

Yeah I agree with, Zug surely just having the restriction of not posting again until everyone has posted is enough?

[Rex]

I might have screwed up, sorry guys :(

[Chronothesis]

Ahhh! I didn't know I had tutoring sessions on Saturdays! Dx
I don't think I'll be able to post in three hour's in my time zone. DX

[Zugzwang]

So it looks like posting order is going out the window.

Bueno.

[Zetsuko]

@Zugzwang how bad d'you think it'd be if i set off the alarm moments after we landed?

[Zugzwang]

Spoiler alert, Zesuko, the alarm is already set off. There is a pitched battle going on not thirty yards from the building.

If you ask me, since we're no longer able to insert by the roof, the best course of action would be to act as quickly as possible and extract the VIP, since stealth in a warzone the enemy are intimately familiar with and we have never seen would be a very risky and unwise proposition. Also, the VIP might be trying to escape soon, once he realizes that he is not going to win this fight, and any time we waste will make our jobs more difficult and place our comrades in more danger.

But, fuck, what do I know? The whole point of my post is that Adam's job is not to reason why: his is but to do and die.

[Zetsuko]

@Zugzwang i meant the interior alarm and got our team noticed...Djura is not a stealthy person...

[Zugzwang]

Once again. There is a pitched battle outside. They are on as high alert as they can be. Just do your thing as quickly as possible and try and achieve the objective before they can regain the initiative.

Nested surprise is rarely a worthwhile endeavor. Capitalizing on disorganization and confusion is seldom not the correct course of action.

[Zetsuko]

@Zugzwang and now we wait for the others...

[Volenvradica]

So it looks like posting order is going out the window.

Bueno.

@Zugzwang

That's my line. Well actually it goes more like this:

We will drop the posting order idea. Have fun.
Post responsibly.

Bene.

[Mr_pink]

In other news, me and my friend binge watched RWBY so I'm caught up on everything except season 3 now.

[Zetsuko]

@Volenvradica by "drop the posting order" you mean...

[Zugzwang]

I might get another post in: I need something to distract me from history essays. If I do indeed post, it will not advance the narrative particularly far. I'll just liquefy some mooks and try to get some character shit in there.

[Cello]

Don't expect another post from me until the end of the day. Also the game I ordered is arriving today but I will be sure to get posts in before letting it consume me.

[Little Bird]

I see I missed a little bit while I was at work.
