To dream is my right
#28801: Apr 30th 2016 at 6:03:39 AM

Extremely unhappy with my Anoerith post. In fact, it was just a way for me to buy time for thinking about the new area I will introduce without making people wait too much for their turn.

But I do have a good idea of what to do now, and the next posts won't have such a delay. Part of the problem was that I felt it was too abrupt to introduce another area in the same post Ano ran away, and now that part is solved.

Yeah, I said I'd post yesterday, I was frickin' tired. I thought I was going to make two half-batches of cookies but now I'm making two full batches and we didn't have the milk we needed for the other one, so I get to tire myself out doing that second batch today. I'm definitely making my mom and sister help me ice them tomorrow so I'm not messing my thumbs up for six straight hours by myself.

I got Frontier done- I'm not terribly happy with it since I think it's too much worldbuilding stuff, but I'm still tired and I know people are waiting.

Also, this is directed at Snowy and Wolf, with regards to the Temple- do we have an idea for the pace we're aiming for or what we want to have happen in there? Because I don't- I'm just kind of making stuff up to give the illusion of progress and to give Wolf room to add in clues as to this guy his characters are searching for. The original plan, when it was just me and Snowy, was for the lab to appear just around the corner from the lion's armor, but that's not going to work now that we have another plot going. And it looks like I might be taking it too fast, especially since the Arthur/Karl/Sophia group doesn't seem to have physically moved in a while.

I have Windows 10 and TV tropes works fine for me. What problems are you experiencing?

1) Instead of taking me to the recent post, it'll take me up several posts and I have to scroll all the way down to newest post.

2) I can't simply click on spoilers anymore I have to highlight them now.

3) And the worst....the page will reset when I'm writing something. It'll erase everything I write, and then it won't let me click on any of the buttons anymore (the [up] button for example, I can't click on it anymore; I have to write [ up ] now).

It's like my computer is plotting against me....what did I ever do to it I just wanna talk to my friends...

[up][up]Have you tried using other brow- oh, ninja'd. Although, for the record, I've always had to highlight spoilers to see them...

Oh well, the United States is the dominant force in the Alliance so maybe I can just say they had made a push to standardize spelling.

Urgh. Stuck for motivation just now. Why can't wanting to post and being able to post ever overlap?

@CrystalGlacia: I was under the impression that Arthur, Sophia and Karl were on the move down the corridor with Karl and Sophia keeping an eye on whatever Arthur displays on his holoprojection.

As to pacing, go for it so far as finding things go - I'm not going to have Karl or Peggy find what they're looking for here and Sophia and Finn aren't seeking anything, it's just an excuse to get my groups split up and interacting with other troper characters and develop as characters.

So feel free to have the lab discovered and we'll see how my characters react to the discoveries.

I was planning on posting tonight, but there's a storm heading my way, and I want to focus on not dying. Exaggeration, but, I'll be too distracted to do anything.

No, I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words

What a beautiful wedding

What a beautiful wedding, says a bridesmaid to a waiter

And, yes, but what a shame

What a shame the poor groom's bride is JOHN CENA.

I've always wanted to join one of these character development threads, but even after being on these forums for almost a year, I have no idea how it works.

[up][up] It's a collective, improvised story writing thingamajig. A bit like a roleplaying game, but without all the dice rolls. We take turns writing about what our characters are doing, and have them react to what others have written.

This page explains it more in-depth. You could also take a look at one of the old threads to get an idea of what it looks like.

Alright, Wolf. Guess we'll go forward with that knowledge.

Snowy, have any opinions on when the lab should show up?
