[Nobody Special]

Nobody Special you 'bout ready to get tapping on that keyboard?

Been tapping for a while now! Post should be up soon.

 

[The Regal Rper]

Gonna be re-reading these latest posts and formulate a response if not tonight, then by this weekend I should have a response up. It'll probs be another dual post like last time since it looks like almost everyone in both groups got a response up

Okay, for the record I didn’t think it was going to be this much of a problem. The intension was to leave it open ended so that Sion’s actions could fit wherever Prizzy wanted. Even if he had left first, I figured he’d still be able to hear the commotion. I also did ask if it caused any trouble and that I could fix it. I was writing this post at a time when no one was awake because I work night shift. I was trying to build a certain pacing of the post and didn’t think it would be restricting anyone. I still don’t really follow how it does, but next time you guys can just message me to fix it, I did say I would change it if it caused any problems. I apologize for the confusion.

I've trusted my players in multiple rps and they're all dead now. My confidence as a GM is nearly nonexistent and I'm shocked this rp still has as many people as it does.

*pats* That's just how most rps are. It has nothing to do with you as a GM - you've been doing an excellent job so far, so don't lose faith (even if player motivation is a fickle thing)

I'm really not comfortable doing that anymore. I want you to have a chance at character growth and looking over what I have, I think Noelle might want to do something as well.

Yep, give us a chance to defuse the situation to the best of our abilities (and if he still kicks us out we were leaving anyway^^)

I think what I'm looking for is more communication all around. If you see someone posted before you and they skip over an opportunity to react to something you're going to do, reach out to them or reach out to me. If you want to time skip the group out of a house, ask the group. Everyone could have communicated a lot more in this situation and communication, while it may have slowed things down a little bit, would have avoided a lot of the frustration I think some people are experiencing.

Will do.

Just like we are doing now while we decide how to move forward, lol.

While I can't speak for anyone else, I just like to point out I'm not especially frustrated. Sure there are times that posts surprise/exasperate/frustrate me, it's typically a fleeting feeling since I've come to expect that from rps where everyone's got their own opinion/thoughts/ideas - learned to be flexible =P. Doubt frustration can ever be truly avoided in rps...but yes, communication helps.

The problem was that if Priz wanted to decide your post happened before Sion left, then he would have to retcon his last post in order to reply to yours because his last post ended with Sion standing outside. In the future, if your post doesn't catch up to someone else's, please just try to communicate first so that we can remove things if needed. Communication beforehand would be more helpful than stating you can change things after the fact if needed.

In this situation, a plan is already in place to catch everyone up to where Prizzy's post ended. Nothing needs to be changed.

You're fine, my guy. Also, if it wasn't because I ALSO work night shifts, timezones would have me awake at those hours

The problem ultimately comes down to the fact that Sion was interacting with your character (Erica) at the end of his post. If Prizzy assumes the Grace/Erica event occurred after he leaves, he'd have to edit all the dialogue afterwards...as his character was waiting for everyone before leaving the house and interacting with them. That's why before fits better (assuming they don't want to make major edits)...but this prevents them from reacting to Grace/Erica. Fortunately, his character is the callous sort.

But yes, there's no need to change anything. Your meister's got you covered^^

Actually it's fine, because he waits for them outside the house.

Very kind of him^^

 

[CelticHero37]

I apologize for the confusion, though, and I didn't actually think there was a problem. I just tend to put a disclaimer with my posts because I have anxiety about screwing stuff up like this. My bad for causing you stress, Lady Warlock .

 

[Prizzy Kriyze]

Very kind of him^^

Lmao
I did realize that was unclear though, but the idea is that he walked down the steps and waited for the rest of them from there

On a completely different note for the Sydney team (currently dubbed R.I.P. Team One), I don't feel like I did much with Cole's post aside from prod forward movement. However, as the first guy in the posting cycle, I didn't want to just magically explore the options LW laid out for us in the spoiler. I personally don't mind the "short post" on my end, but didn't want anyone waiting in case they thought Cole was due for how the cycle went. I was also kind'a hoping to push us to the progression since she laid out what we are to explore and find and did make sure there's an excerpt about waiting for 1. any questions to the mirror and 2. Cei to actually introduce herself. Hoped that would give us some modicum of a timeline before we entered the Opera House without being overly intrusive.

I'm running a personal betting pool to see which of my characters finish their mission first. Yuan or Lucien? Lucien is more efficient when it comes to work, but Yuan's clever...and her team seems to be posting faster

 

[CelticHero37]

Lucian will finish first, but Yuan's team will end up in a time paradox and win by technicality.

Alright guys welcome to my Soul Eater any% speedrun

We're just going to skip these dialogue options and initiate a backwards boosted bunnyhop directly into oncoming traffic

Otherwise called a Dai run

 

[QuirkyAngel]

I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the Sydney team came from behind and pulled up a win either, what with Dai the competitive speedster on their team

 

[CelticHero37]

Dai every time they defeat an enemy "SPEEDRUN!"

Or, "SPEED IS KEY!"

 

[Prizzy Kriyze]

Otherwise called a Dai run

You see if you go fast enough you can actually clip inside the car and the object collision will punt you out at mach 5 speed, which if you angle just right means you can whiz right past the salt lake city minibosses, hit a load trigger in the portal, and go directly to the final boss

Of course, taking him out would be difficult, but thanks to us loading in directly from salt lake city we still have mission 1 plot armor. Bada bing bada boom, here are the credits

 

[Sir Les Paul]

I mean maybe the Sydney team does come up. "one shot, one kill"

 

[QuirkyAngel]

Yuan post will probably be up later tonight or tomorrow. I've got an idea of what I want to write...but also a lot to respond to. I'm also a bit of a slow writer =P

 

[QuirkyAngel]

The promised post is up. Hopefully I successfully moved us forward.

 

[Prizzy Kriyze]

Yeah, t'was a good way to tie up loose ends. So now, how far ahead do you guys wanna move? Up to the station? Do we have all that much to discuss that we want to drag it out another round of posts?

I'd wait for CelticHero37 's post to see if their character(s) want to do some talking/other mischief, etc...then your character can move there us on your turn or continuing chatting as you please. I'm honestly fine with either, since I'm sure the villains ( Lady Warlock ) will come for us at some point even if we don't come to them^^

Tho more chatting with npcs means with uncover more mystery, which I'm all for~

 

[Prizzy Kriyze]

So when can CelticHero37 post again
