[OOC] 🦄 Duplicity - D&D Style Fantasy Rp Adventure (Completed)

[Lady Absinthia]

@The Grey Dust Yeah, go ahead and edit. Might want to get with Rivaan and see what he says about Sats whereabouts. I dunno, he might want to edit that as well. Five you two a day or two to work it out and make needed edits. @rivaan

[The Grey Dust]

@Lady Amalthea
Might be easier to disengage the quantum entanglement and have Thomas in the room meditating than to have to muck all the positioning.
As Sat could just say to the group needing alcohols and herbs outside and things are fine.
That being said my post won't be much more than a few lines since its no-interaction, unless someone else is in the room with him, to which I don't believe I have such information regardless.

[Lady Absinthia]

@The Grey Dust Well if Rivaan did come inside then he would have something to reply to. So wait to hear from him, no worries. You have time to edit. I can reset counters once this is straightened out so no one pushes counters and has to hurry.

[The Grey Dust]

@Lady Amalthea Okendokes. I'll wait for Sat's location to be decided upon by Riv and adjust after that :)
I just don't want to tie Sat/Riv up with Thomas' interaction.

[An Outsider]

Might'a jumped the gun on the extension request. Should hopefully be able to get something up tomorrow. Watch this space.

[rivaan]

Satilla should be by keystone and sana since they are returning from the temple.

[Lady Absinthia]

@The Grey Dust Okay, looks like that is solved. Go ahead and make the edits. I'm gonna go ahead and reply. If I need to edit after you edit, it won't be a problem.

[The Grey Dust]

@Lady Amalthea

Edited :)

All's well, I don't think there's any need for edits on your part.
Is there anyway I could say Thomas' next actions will be meditation until the evening?
I really can't see posting actions of his preparations until anything changes x3
I mean I guess I could do so scenic meditation time, but eh.

[Lady Absinthia]

@BlackSam3091 Um, this was addressed yesterday in the ooc, you must have missed it (the page of it >.>) - No one has come into the tavern accept Njat at the end of his last post. Sana, Kyra, Sat, and Keystone are all outside around the corner from the Tavern by the stables. (Cyn is there too I believe.) - So gonna need some major edits on your last post. He can't see any of them.

@The Grey Dust You can but it wouldn't remove the posting requirements. So all depends on how much mediation posting you want to do I guess.

[An Outsider]

@Lady Amalthea Fair enough, I'll just delete that section.

[Lucius Cypher]

Urgh, day five. I'll get something up today. Though not sure what else to do except have Ntaj eat and contemplate.

[rivaan]

Once more.. time to get into posting state. *Takes a deep breath* LOK'TAR OGAR!!!!!!!!*rushes towards IC*

Hey everyone, this is a little message that is getting dropped into all my Rp's to everyone. Right now, I am sure some of you have noticed I am getting a bit, how to put it, frustrated as of late? Yeah, that is a mild way of putting it. I've actually contemplated just shutting everything down and walking away.

Yeah, thing is months back I had a family "incident" so I withdrew as much as possible to keep that from spilling over into RP. In the process of taking that step back, well there has been some back lash. A common problem has developed in most every RP and with a high percentage of the posts. Not just 1 problem but several. I am here to address those now before it gets any worse.

1) People not reading posts - This has got to stop. RP needs to be remembered to stand for as "Read" then "Post." Things are getting missed in IC and OOC. You need to read every post, whether you are part of it or not, or tagged or not. People are missing things as simple as where a character is. This shouldn't be the case at all. People are missing a lot more. What they or others are wearing, where they live, etc.

2) Characters acting "out of character." - I keep very close tabs on your characters personalities. So much in fact I pull of each of your character sheets and reread their personalities before I read each of your posts. Yes, there is such thing as character development but then there is just down right now following what you put down for your own character. I am seeing this happen a lot when someone has an end game for their character and then suddenly their character is acting like a different person.

3) Not following the rules. Now people are doing pretty good with keeping up with their counters, I am not having to remind people as much as I used to. (Granted, some of you I have honestly given up reminding. You are going to ride your counter to that last possible moment no matter what no matter how much I tag you. So not even bothering anymore.) But people are forgetting some of the rules. Things like no character sheet edits ever without permission from the GM granted before hand. Editing their posts without Gm approval before hand. Not posting the required min in RP (Which as a reminder is two well developed paragraphs. Not 1 paragraph, not two short ones.)

So... What to do about this? Well we are going to get back on track. This is your "friendly" reminder. I had a much more bitchy one typed up but I figured I would try to go easy one last time. (After this, no holding back full Evil Overlord GM will come out. Those that have seen her can attest she is worse than LLA on a Tirade.)

I want everyone to take the time to reread the rules, reread the Guide To RP Etiquette. I need you all to make sure to read all the IC and OOC posts before you post. (That means even 1 second before you post make sure to do a quick refresh to see if anything was posted before you hit enter.) If you need an edit, you ask first. Keep your characters in character. Pull up your own character sheets and reacquaint yourself with their personalities. Most of us run a crap ton of characters in many Rps, it is easy to mix them up. So do yourself a favor and just take five minutes to reread that little section.

What's gonna happen if we don't get back on track? I'm just gonna go full Evil GM overlord and boot people. It's really that simple. The rules were agreed to when you entered, so that is on you.

Also, I want to take this time to let you in on a little secret. I have a file on each of you. Every time you do something good or bad, it gets put down in it. I have down every time a post was awesome, every time you picked up on clue, every time you didn't read a post before posting. Heck I have every time you posted a "why" you are behind or asked for an extension. Do you know I have had at least 1 Rper try to convince me that the same grandmother died - TWICE - A month apart?!?!?! Seriously..... ~shakes her damn head~

As your GM it is my job to make sure things run smoothly, that everyone is involved, and the story progresses. I'm trying, I really am. I need your help to keep things running smoothly. I'm like your RP Mommy. Mommy is trying to keep the house in order but if you keep breaking shit... Well, no more time outs. I'm just gonna start dragging y'all behind the woodshed and whoopin' much ass. >.>

Again. This isn't a single problem by a single person in a single RP. If you are guilty of any of this - trust me you aren't the only one. So we are going to work together, get back on track, and hopefully things will smooth out.

That about covers it. Back to your regularly scheduled RPing.

~Lady A

P.S. Don't PM me about this. Seriously... I will gut you and I ain't even playing. Smart assed comments following this will result in a kick. I just really am down to zero fucks to give anymore. Upvote this post with a thank you or a like to let me know you have read it: laughs won't count. (You have 72 hours from this post to do so, not to will tell me you didn't read and will result in a boot. If you are in multiple Rp's I expect it to be acknowledged in each OOC)

P.P.S. Yeah, and one more thing. I don't have to know every thing that is keeping you from posting. I stopped counting in the triple digits for some of you with the school or work is kicking my ass. (Hate to say it but school and/or work kicks all our asses. It isn't a new flash or an excuse.)

And now I'm done. See you in RP.

[An Outsider]

Hey guys.

Sorry about this, but I'm going to have to drop from this RP.

Had a fun time writing with you all, and hope to see you in the future.

Good luck with the adventure!

[The Grey Dust]

I'll be posting later this afternoon.
When I get back from the office :)
Not sure how much I can do with describing Thomas' meditation.
Although maybe some inspiration will come later :P
Oh and happy belated Easter/Passover to all.

[Dragoknighte]

@The Grey Dust At first I thought that was going to be a limerick based on the formatting and I was going to compliment you for your dedication

[Lady Absinthia]

@The Grey Dust @Lucius Cypher @Sigil @Dragoknighte @rivaan

Okay, gonna make a change to the RP. We are going to a 7 day a week counter for Duplicity. It's been a long time coming since all the rest of my Rp's are on seven day counters. This should make things a touch easier for everyone. (Granted that won't be the case when we get into battle mode and go into rotation mind you) but yeah, as of this post we are on seven day counters.
