[OOC] RWBY: The Last Dawn

[ryukan]

Good to see the team slots are filling up.

Short post is short.

Also, something needs to be done about this time scale. It's rapidly getting out of control.

I don't have such a problem with unified time, problem is that it's splitting into three completely different time scales with some already at the ball, some still in the auditorium, some wandering the campus... And some of these people are, technically speaking, existing in multiple time periods at once. It's insanely confusing.

[Thundercrash]

@kaithas I suspect that issue arises just from people living in different time zones and having different things going on with their lives. Actions and stories don't keep up.

[Kaithas]

My problem isn't people falling behind. My problem is people jumping ahead.

(akaya I"m not picking on you, this is just the first example I found)

She waited for everyone to respond before they all headed out or at least the ones that choose to join.

Nova Hail-Monday Evening- Beacon Academy Ballroom

Nova ended up staying around and hanging out with the trio she had met that day, really enjoying their company even when she wasn't talking much.

That's one person from a group jumping forward in time by six hours and saying what happened with that character with said group for said six hours. I don't know whether @OneWayOut intended us to jump to the ball or not, I'm not judging based on that, what I dislike is that some people decided to immediately jump to it while others stayed back in time. If we're going to have unified time, everyone existing at their own rate when it comes to GM organized events will only lead to chaos.

I'd much prefer people realigning to the main time flow if they fall behind with a short wrap up/flashback than have people jumping ahead of the universe proper. As it stands, having everyone on a supposedly universal time scale but at drastically different hours just breeds confusion and hurts even my Doctor Who logic.

This isn't because I'm lagging, fyi. If I'm totally on the wrong time scale I can wrap stuff up and jump, I just have no idea what the right time scale is.

[Bigg Slamm]

im sure once we get past the trials everything will straiten out with the teams being made and each team having their own story technically.

@Kaithas

Yeah, I wasn't really ready to jump but someone else did first and I figured jumping would be the best option unfortunately. I hate doing it >.< I just didn't want to be in a different time than everyone else. I know you aren't picking. I just went on the logical bases that if you walk around with a group long enough to find the ballroom than it would be logical to continue to hang out. I figured if they disagreed than they could do what I did and split off. >.<

[Katakon]

I finally have time to talk!
Sorry for my lack of communication I have been busy setting up a party at my college the last few days, but that's not here or there. Did I miss anything?

[ryukan]

@Katakon

Morgan is currently trying to get everyone wasted.

[Thundercrash]

@Kaithas@Akayaofthemoon The other thing to remember is that we only have a week in which to do things for that day. I believe one of the firm rules is that, come Sunday, it's a new day.

For me, I jumped ahead because, it was Friday/Saturday, therefore it was evening. There was still things I wanted to do and character traits to show before we moved to the initiation.

Deadlines are such pesky things, aren't they.

[Pyromania99]

Yea, today is the last day for stuff "today". So it needs to be evening at this point :/

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Pyromania99

Yeah, that is kind of why I said Tam, Yuna and Asvoria hung out and went to the ballroom in the evening >.>

[datadogie]

Okay, I'm going to clear it up for you guys.

The time currently is evening, nearing night, as today (GMT-wise, anyway) is currently Saturday in real life. Note that for some, it is okay to call 'evening' the night, as I have no idea what specific time is classed as an 'evening'. However, tomorrow, IE, Sunday, will be an entirely new day. This means that if you wish to continue what conversations you are currently having, you have to finish them now, or, failing that, make a flashback to them tomorrow. I highly recommend collabing the flashback, just so you all don't have some distortion as to what happened after the conversation.

TL:DR
Saturday (Today) is this RP's first day's evening/night. Sunday (Tomorrow) is this RP's second day's morning.

[Lord Santa]

Is it too late to join? I sorta wanna do this since I don't have much going on right now, though I see that there's already a bunch of stuff going down.

[Thundercrash]

@Lord Santa I believe Team SLVR still needs one member, and we start initiation tomorrow, so no, it's not too late.

[Lord Santa]

Alright then. I wanna read all the characters and catch up with the IC, so this might take a little bit.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Lord Santa

The last open spot is the V in SLVR I believe

[FateWeaver]

I'm up now, but unless someone decides to strike up conversation with Orlan, I'll probably let that stand as my last post for "today."

[jman221]

It's so annoying being in different time zones. For me its sunday already

[Akayaofthemoon]

@jman221

That is hard to think about because it is so early Saturday for me. The time zone thing does throw things off a bit :(

[Lord Santa]

@Lord Santa

The last open spot is the V in SLVR I believe

@Akayaofthemoon

I'll take it. I got a good idea this time around.
