@NuttsnBolts That is a good point. I mean I don't think we need to be very specific with times in our posts, however I just thought about the whole AM/PM thing and my only concern is people mixing the whole thing up with the day/night as AM/PM contain both really...if we did it in 12 hour blocks, one being from 06:00 AM to 05:59PM and the next from 06:00 PM to 05:59 AM we'd basically operate on a Day (Sun) and Night (Moon) sort of thing which means people will be pretty much commenting about the same time of day and thus no need for specific times which could mean less restrictions. However what I want to know is do I change the 12 hour blocks every 24 hours? that's another thing we need to work out...(Just to clarify: By restrictions I mean someone let's say posting their character doing something at 09:00 PM and then someone let's say posting their character at 07:00 PM with the first person wanting to meet the second person they'd then have to...travel back in time? xD I'd personally find it confusing to see someone posting in the future then posting back in time. I think it's much easier to just comment that it's a sunny day and go with that...may add weather as well)

Well various ghouls travel around the Wards, mine included so there is going to be some more people to interact with but also no one is restricted to a single ward. The main idea of the "Ward of Operation" is so we know the place your ghoul would likely spend most of their time.

@TraitorJust to clarify the only thing we do on Skype is chat xD Just bicker with eachother and on the odd occasion talk about a situation or something but that's fine, it isn't for everyone which is understandable. I find it beneficial to just chat there rather than in the OOC as things could quickly get lost if done in the OOC. The collabs will likely be done here in PM's or something, they will likely end up being brought up in the Skype chat then mentioned in here to see if anyone who isn't on Skype is interested in order to be fair to everyone.

As for the time thing I'ma just wait till a few people give their opinions before deciding on anything

@vFear Well...there are 24 hours in a day so we could move it in blocks of 6? We know someone will get up at 6 in the morning while someone will be lazy and waking up at about 12 xD The other thing is that do I update the days by 6 hours every 12 hours or so? Allowing those who come on a bit later to probably be able to fit in a post within that time frame.

Regardless what were are onto here could work.

Well one thing I thought about last night before I went to sleep was that a Collab could have been done and was likely a better choice rather than bombarding the IC with several posts. However with that said that is where I feel people would need to be apart of the Skype group or something since throwing messages around there wont be as bad as here. So basically there we can chat and so on and leave the OOC for a little chatter here and there but mostly for more important things. The other benefit is that if lets say Me, Mr Snuggles and Miss Punches want to do a collab and someone else who isn't in the Skype group would want in (had they known) then of course they can't because we would have never known and that's not exactly fair as they're missing out on their chance to Roleplay. However with that said I know not everyone has Skype nor would want to join, I'm just saying it would be beneficial to, however I don't see anything wrong with us posting here in the OOC we are planning a Collab and wanted to know if anyone wanted in. That sort of thing

Also I honestly believe it was just the hype of posting that lead to so many posts right off the bat, I think people were itching to get stuck into this...but that will calm down.

As for the time thing I am open to suggestions...the only other thing I can think about is placing a date/day and when it is AM or PM. So no specific times of course. Cause as it is if I change the time to 06:00 AM and some people will end up waiting till the ideal time before posting and if I skip to 09:00 AM then they may have just missed work xD I don't know...I'd rather bounce around the half days where people are generally on the same side of the clock than restricting people so that they have to wait till a very specific time to post as their character and even then when it does change to that time who is to say they are going to be able to post? Don't know just throwing that out there...I'd like that sorted before anymore posts go up

As for the whole Free to Advanced topic. Honestly...I like to blow off sometimes and just write a load and post that up but to do that constantly? it'd be boring...I enjoy interaction but I like it to move at a fair pace and I don't always feel like writing a ton. If this were in free it'd move fast and with one liners and people who likely wont even follow the rules properly. Casual is that comfy medium where people respect the rules and post at a fair pace. However I don't want my preferences to push another Roleplayer out so I feel for the future if people are going to interact with one another that a collab is in everyone best interest...just make sure to Hider that xD One thing I have to note though is that many people seem to have different ideas of how casual should be which is fair...however I'm trying to look at this in a way where we can all get mostly what we want while compromising. Those who like to post faster should certainly assume the whole Collab thing. However those that can post once a day can likely just post in the IC as normal...

Honestly I'd like to talk this out nice and calmly and see if we can all reach some common ground so that the RP can cater to everyone's wants and needs...or at least most of them. The only time the collab idea may be broken is when...something like a large story event is happening but in truth I don't think those will ever involve everyone and it'd be a bad idea if they did. I only have a few concerns about collabs becoming common but they're nothing I don't think can be worked around...however this will bump up individual post length's but save page space as well as make it easier to follow.

Anyway...Suggestions? or anything?

@XxLyraxX@FallenTrinity Honestly don't worry about it at all. This is Casual remember and although some of us may do some large posts they are by no means mandatory.

@Everyone: So basically our times are a bit out of synch here which could prove somewhat troublesome in the future and in truth was a problem I hadn't foreseen. What I have done now though is added a current time to the very first post in the IC. I recommend using that from now on. I will change the time every few hours or so and by a couple of hours at a time. Now this will apply once your current scenes have finished. If in the case you post when the time is currently let's say 03:00 PM and you post your character at this time then I change it to let's say 06:00 PM a little later. You can finish your scene you are in as it takes place at that time but once it is done just Timeskip the next few hours if you want to catch back up to the current time. I understand this could cause some issues but regardless at least then we will all be roughly around the same time. Also just another note: Remember to put which ward you are in at the beginning of each post

Karasu

7th Ward, 02:53 AM, Taiko Coffee Shop

As they walked towards the Coffee shop Karasu took in the nice cool feeling of the gentle breeze as he exhaled smoke gently from his mouth as he listened to Jekyll speak before responding to his questions "Don't worry about it...I give out free coffee all the time. It's a good thing I'm leaving this job soon anyway, I'd likely end up fired for the amount of free coffee I give out...and I was born here in Tokyo...not sure where though, I don't remember that much. My family moved around a lot...anyway...we're here" Karasu stopped outside the coffee shop and dropped his Cigarette onto the pavement before stepping on it with his left foot and twisting it a little before walking into the shop, a bell ringing as he did "I'm here now Aki...you can go now" Aki stood behind the counter cleaning one a cup as he looked over at Karasu "Damn...you're a few minutes early for once an-wait...you didn't bring another homeless guy in to give coffee to did you!?" Karasu rolled his eyes as he walked behind the counter

"He's a paying customer and besides what's wrong with giving someone a free coffee once in awhile? besides the guys I bring are homeless...it isn't safe for them to be out there with Ghouls prowling the damn streets. Now piss off so I can get on with it already." Aki shook his head and placed the cup down before walking out from behind the counter and to the coat rack by the door as he grabbed his coat and spoke "Yeah well just don't let anymore homeless people in...they stink the damn place up" Aki then opened the door and walked out. Karasu then looked over to Jekyll and spoke "Well as you can see it's pretty empty so sit anywhere...I'll start making your coffee now" Karasu began to make the coffee as usual, it was something he was surprisingly good at...

Karasu

7th Ward, Near Kanto Park

Karasu looked at the man as he took the Zippo with his left hand, he then raised his right hand to his lips placing his cigarette in between his lips as he then flipped the top of the Zippo open with a distinctive 'clink' sound before using his thumb to roll back the flint wheel causing it to spark and light the wick before bringing the flame to the end of his cigarette to light it before closing the Zippo and handing it back to the guy as he then took a drag out of his Cigarette as he then raised his right hand to his mouth to remove the cigarette as he exhaled and released cloud of smoke then listened to the guy introduce himself and then speak. Karasu took another drag of his cigarette before speaking "Nice to meet you Jekyll, You can call me K." Karasu then took another drag off his Cigarette before speaking again "Not really...I've got a job to get to and I do the night shift, And those are some pretty strict rules you got there...but I can't say I don't agree with them. They seem more than fair...and sure, the place is quiet at this time anyway..." With that Karasu began walking down the street towards the Coffee shop expecting the guy to follow
