In terms of IC posting, we are just waiting on @Shorticus, yea?

I'm totally patient, I swear, I just wanted to touch base. It seems like the rest of the party is basically in agreement about the path to take...


Yep, that's the gist of it. I'll give him another day, and then we're going to have to move on before the momentum is lost.

Sounds good. We can always just pretend he was stoic and agreed with our plans. Question is, who is going to step forth as the leader of the group? :)

@DeltaV I may not play group games terribly often, but I definitely haven't seen a style like that. I like it! So I might PM some of the other people for conversing purposes, and then put them together in a post, assuming other people as glued to the guild as I am.

WHEW. Okay. I'm here. I've got a post partly written that I can edit due to the new circumstances / moving plot. Edit and complete, that is.

Am I still allowed to post? I apologize for disappearing like that. Life got in the way of me actually having fun, and I had to do a writeup for a roleplay of my own.

EDIT: Also, I caught myself up by reading the IC posts.

EDIT 2: And on that note, do I need to PM you, @DeltaV, about talking to the captain? Or do I just approach the Captain and discuss the matter in a post?

And by the way, this is my spring break and my midterms are all behind me, so expect me to be shoving my nose into this thread pretty frequently, folks.

Just post, love. Delta included Cormac in his post, so I assume your character is still active on his end. Dive right in.

There we go. Posted. I'm looking to do a collaborative post with either @Carantathraiel or @HangYourSecrets concerning delivering a message to the captain, though Cormac would "settle" for having someone else deliver his message. He's just, y'know... He's Cormac.

@Shorticus Rory tends to wander around a bit. He can be borrowed. But Eve will avoid Cormac. :)

@DeltaV Just to clarify, myself and @Shorticus have a collaborate post worked out, but I was going to have my character try to talk with the captain, and he's currently with Eve. However in your post, it's stated that my character is sometime past the first week (head healed, and sea sickness) and Eve is on day two (captain conversation).

Are we assuming these two events are happening on separate days, or that everyone's post on the same day? I'm just wondering how you wanted us to tackle trying to talk to the captain.

This puzzled me, too.
I will happily edit my post to end the dinner, if necessary, that was it can be assumed the dinner happened days ago.
This the second group rp I've joined and I'm new to the collaboration thing and tend to respond with what I'm given.

Hmm... In retrospect I can see how posting something a week in may not have been the most considerate of me and consistentcies purpose. I could see us all labeling our posts with days in, that way we know what order they happen in. Or we can do a larger pause on day 2, allow for posts, and then another one 1 week in, etc. I could see us playing it out a few ways, depends on what @DeltaV says. :)

That seems a lot of extra work for everyone. It may be easier just for me to edit so I'm not stuck in the past.

Roughly a week late, but I hope it's not to troublesome for me to join this RP.


Since you guys are already embarked on a ship, I could say I board a bit downriver/down coast.

Alrighty, everyone. Sorry about things, I was a bit busy for a couple of days. First up, I have to ask: what do you guys honestly think about how my post was done? I'm relatively new to GMing and want your opinions -- the goal was to be able to keep the plot spurring forward at a decent pace (since it's a pretty long time period that we're talking about here, and I don't think anyone wants to spend a month on a boat post-by-post), but I can understand if people don't like it because it's a bit railroad-y.

For the moment, as far as chronology goes, it's not of too much particular importance so long as you place it within a week or so of everyone else (or it could be at the same time, that's fine as well). Whatever you guys want to do. For sailing on a pretty small boat, especially, there's not a ton to do so I've been a bit liberal with the timescale. For the sake of you guys' planning, I plan on having 1-2 more 'big' compiled posts that take place at sea before everyone finds themselves back on terra firma.

Character Name: Jorrick Anderson/Male/26

Accepted. I'll go about getting you into the thick of things with my next post, which should be . . . soonish. I think we're still waiting on one more person to post?

@DeltaV Thanks for clearing it up, and I thought the post you made was really well thought out. Almost made me feel like we were playing a version of DnD. For purposes of chronology, I would suggest we assume we're all on the same time in between your posts, although it's totally up to yourself. I totally understand why the timescale has been liberal thus far.

@Carantathraiel However you'd like to handle the dinner is fine by myself; the only thing is that my and @Shorticus's collaborative post is going to end with Amos hopefully finding the captain in some manner, so I wanted to clarify the timing of it all before I posted that and caused some sort of time rift. :)

Yeah, I think the only thing left in the collaborative post is for Amos to go hunting for the Cap'n.

@DeltaV The GMing style you're using reminds me of another roleplay we were in together, and frankly that's not a bad thing at all. I certainly didn't see any glaring flaws. Clearing up chronological stuff in the future may be helpful, and clearing up what we're allowed to do with NPCs and such would be nice, too. Otherwise, all seems well.
