Aurrorian — Roleplayer Guild

Kris sighed, the gig was up. 

He shrugged and thought-spoke through the cable, "All I know is our opponents didn't act with sentience, and I suspect those Avatars were programmed with AI to execute a counter strategy to whatever Avatar they matched against. I also don't understand how the host client, assuming they were bots, hacked our Neuro Linkers (especially mine behind a backdoor/VPN), forcibly connected us to the global network, and rewrote the code of Brain Burst to allow unfair matching."

"I'm sure you as a Level 5 Burst Linker know about the looser security and termination of patches to Brain Burst, ever since some Japanese player beat the game already, which allowed for any player to download external programs for use in-game, but this is simply unbelievable in scope!" Kris crossed his arms and legs, getting comfortable as he waited to see how the Guardian/Protoge pair would deal with him.

Well...for now I have no personal plot to go on, so you'll have to lead me through your plot.

Well...my RP style is built for the slow burn, FYI, dunno about Caits. I do think however, that unless no players are actively driving their own plot forward, it's best to just let us be, and trust that we'll go back and forth between the main plot occasionally; just shoot a friendly reminder if needed.

Well...if you're going to force the plot along like this, then alright, but 2 things to point out before I roll with this:

1. Time between real life and in game is drastically different, i.e. I could spend 1 hour in game, and only about 1 minute would pass in real life. Our battle was about I'd say 5-10 minutes in game, so...only a few (2-3?) seconds would have passed in real life, not enough time for a person to realize someone was unconscious, not to mention act normally anyways. So @Caits, in a regular, uninterrupted conversation your minuscule lapse could have easily been interpreted as a pause in thought; if you did become unconscious for longer you would most likely have done so on the floor (and so would I).

2. @Jangel13, I understand you have a main plot you want to push forward, and I know I may have taken things off course (if I could retcon my actions from the start I wouldn't have stalked you in the first place), but from my previous experience as an RPer in tabletop games, I've realized only 2 ways to effectively guide players as GM into your plot: 1. create a hook that binds all players together into a single group from the beginning, unlike the open-ended trend I've noticed with most forum RPs; 2. have each player begin open-ended and follow each of their interactions, then subtly tie together the knots into your plot thread, and move forward without seeming to rush or shove players into line. No offense, but I can tell from your last IC post and even your OOC posts that you've been a bit impatient lately; if it's just because of my RP style again I apologize, but at least post in the OOC notifying me first if you want me to move along quickly, maybe a suggestion to ease me in would help greatly; I'm still your co-GM, and personally I think even a regular player has the right to create their own story as long as it can tie into the main plot.

I would've revealed myself in time, but until now I was enjoying playing the anon (maybe a bit god-complex), that you 2 could attempt to figure out and deal with as a side objective, so meh...that's done for. XD This is why we need more players...

Sorry, Labor Day weekend was busy for me.

Kris counted down the time in AR, as he'd memorized the time conversion rate between AR and RL. After 30 seconds IRL with no reaction, he warped out for the last time, just as Lily let out a sigh and stretched. "Well, seeing as you're apparently stretched for time, I suggest starting with the most recent section your teacher has taught you, and then work backwards on the same chapter," stated Kris, while raising his eyebrow.

He then noticed Angelo enter the school building, and kept his eyebrow raised in surprise, as Angelo continued to walk towards Kris and Lily. This is either way too easy, or game over for me, thought Kris. As Angelo opened the door, Kris tried to relax and beckoned Lily to follow him, hoping to let Angelo deal with the head tutor instead. But hearing Angelo's question nearly made him jump out of his skin...

Kris wasn't even following real time. The instant he came back to reality, he whispered, "Physical Burst." Kris warped back to Augmented Reality, and watched patiently for Lily's reaction, while he pondered the events that had just transpired...

Kris raised his eyebrows at the number of BP he'd just received, but he wasn't going to complain. He lowered himself to the ground, catching his breath. Now for the hard part, thought Kris. The instant his body warped out of Augmented Reality and back to Real Life, he had to use Physical Burst in anticipation of his confrontation with Lily...

@Jangel13 Yeah, sorry, I get it, but you seemed a bit impatient with your earlier replies.

@Jangel13 LOL yep. Because you wanted to move on. And they probably weren't the chatterbot sort.
