Wild West Science versus Magic RP Discussion

I just plain forgot about posting yesterday until it was far too late to be thinking about posting; my bad guys, sorry about that. I'll try to get something up once I'm back from work.

Also, Thrall's told me on skype that he's dropping out, so Dorothan team is down a member unfortunately.

And if it wasn't clear from my second sentence, this is just a quick drop in before work post. I should be back and ready to post in... Like four and a half hours I would guess, though that depends on if I have to stay at work longer than my stated shift.

I'll get in a post after school.

That wasn't exactly after school but close 'nuff

Well things got pretty quiet for a bit there. I was also thrown for a bit of a loop yesterday which sapped my energy to post, hence why I haven't made a responding post yet. In relation to what threw me through a loop, I've got good news and bad news.

The good news is that my work scheduling in the long term is probably going to settle down; I'll probably start getting the sort of hours that I want to get, which means very little if any early shifts. This is because a new employee got hired to essentially do what I do but for early shifts.

The bad news is that I have to train said new employee next week, which is why out of the five days I work four of them are early shifts, three of them in a row, and one of them has a second shift in the evening on top of that. I'm basically going to have to turn my normal sleep schedule on its head to stay alive so I don't know how much free time I'll have to post next week, and how much energy I'll have to post even when I have the time to.

So starting tomorrow (Sunday) I'm going to go ahead and declare a week of pseudo down time for the RP. I'll still try to post, when I can and if I can, but since I expect it'll overall be very little posting from me I'm going ahead and saying that none of you should feel obligated to post if you'd rather just take the week off from the RP.

Anyway, as for tonight I'll try to post, though right now I'm having a strange selective writer's block. (My mind is going at like a hundred miles an hour in terms of ideas for writing, but only for something else and not at all currently for this RP.) So I may spend some time writing something else instead; also I'm half expecting to be distracted for a few hours or so real soon here.

Well it's not much, but it's a post.

Also, anyone who's terribly curious about what that other thing I was writing tonight was, here it is.

Oh, hey! New Exlan coming in ( -3-)

Edit: That makes two wolf comments in a row.

Sorry you guys, I am out for the moment. Just have Mart be in jail for an extended period of time or whatnot.

Hm, all right, I'm new here.

By the way Victor, the RP is currently in a pseudo off period because I can't reliably post in the main thread until Saturday night, so you probably won't be getting a response to Maximus until then.

The more complete explanation is up this page a bit, in post 329.

I've spent 20 EXP to turn my Marksmanship Level 3 to Level 4 Marksmanship.

Correction: 1 MP costs 15 EXP.

I have 10 EXP left.

Alright, I'm finally free from work for the weekend. I'm gonna try to post tonight; just want to catch up on some other things first, plus I'm still figuring out exactly what I'm gonna post; having a bit of that selective writer's block moment again. So it may be a while.

Anyway, while I'm posting just want to heads up about next week. It's still not yet back to what I'd like, (New guy still needs some more training, is my best guess.) but it's not quite as bad as this last week was. I'll spare the details and just mention how my posting is likely going to be affected: Might not post Monday and Tuesday, should be able to post Wednesday but not until super late most likely, almost definitely won't be able to post Thursday, then Friday and Saturday I should be able to post but again posts may be a bit on the late side.

Man that took a long time for the writer's block to pass. Decided to skip things forward a bit. Also yes the parties are technically out of sync in terms of what time it is because of travelling times involved. But seeing as you're miles apart that shouldn't really be a problem; there's really no chance of causing any time paradoxes here.

Now I'm heading to bed.

Victor you do not control the NPCs.

Got it...

Been kinda waiting to see if anyone else was gonna post these last few days, but mostly just been busy with work and life stuff. Feels like it's been long enough though so I'm gonna make a quick post for responding to Maximus before I go to bed.

This weekend I'll try to see about moving things along.

Slept in a lot and got more distracted than I expected to tonight; post's coming soon, (In fact I'm already more than halfway through it, just pausing momentarily on a part I'm still thinking on.) just wanted to heads up that there's going to be a fair amount of skipping forward in it, though you may have already guessed that from my previous discussion post.

Also wanted to inform you guys of my schedule for next week as long as I'm posting here: In regards to posting overall, it's exactly the same as last week. (Both Monday and Tuesday might not post, should be able to Wednesday but not until super late probably, almost definitely won't be able to post Thursday, might not post Friday, should be able to Saturday night.) I've got the same relative shifts as last week in regards to working in the early day or late day; the exact hours are different but again overall it's gonna be the same deal.

EDIT: And there, posted. Also, all characters are at full HP and MP now.

EDIT AGAIN: Also, if anyone needs a reminder on how much money your character has, I have them all noted down.

Yeah, a reminder would actually be pretty helpful.

I have gotten sick. (Actually had to take the day off because of it.) So I think the odds of me posting tonight are even slimmer than they were before; sorry guys.

But here's the quick list of everyone's cash:

• Dart: 100 bills, 300 coins
• Frederick: 75 bills, 325 coins
• Mart: 320 coins
• Maximus: 100 bills

• Nathan: 100 marbles, 350 coins
• Nid: 90 marbles, 385 coins
• Refran: 90 marbles, 332 coins

Dunno how to have Refran ride off. Just handwave that one, pls.

Got real distracted after work tonight, mostly by the new expansion to Civ: Beyond Earth; that's my bad. Post coming soon-ish, just gotta type it up. I'll put the handwave in in such a way that you guys can skip to it when you want to, if Refran and Nathan are going to talk before leaving.

But first while I'm making a post here, gonna heads up as usual about next week's scheduling: A little tamer than this last week, but not by much. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday I might not post; I'd say that Monday and Tuesday are going to be a little more likely to not post than Sunday. Wednesday I should be able to post but again probably not until damn late. Thursday might not post, Friday and Saturday should be able to post, but again might be on the late side.

Because people were asking around for one elsewhere, I've started up a new RP, currently linked in my signature. Explaining the full story of why I did this would take way too long; suffice to say, it's something very important to me. As long as you guys are still playing, I will not be abandoning this RP, but my attention from here on will likely be split.

I just wanted to let you guys know rather than say nothing about it.

Joining that new RP but I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

By the way Victor, I don't have anything to post for Maximus until you narrow down what sort of thing he's shopping for/decide which shop he goes into.

I've got to respond to a few things elsewhere and then am gonna take a nap and head out for a bite to eat shortly after that. I'll be back in a few hours, though right now I have nothing to post for anyone.

edited 12th Oct '15 3:10:13 PM by FirockFinion

I'll post tomorrow.

Been using random rolls to determine how many people are at these shops, whether they're human or something else, and their gender.

And I got the same results for both shops. Wow.

Anyway, I gotta get going for tonight.
