Well now that that pilot/partner meeting is set up, is there some excuse to get Dave interacting with Kazumi and/or Dr. Suzuki? Admittedly it would probably be the most in character for him to get back to his office and just quietly sit and get work done, but that's hardly the most exciting thing to be role playing.

I'll have Dr. Suzuki leave her office soon, heading in the general direction of the Meeting Rooms. She can bump into Dave there.

... I have no idea what to post. At this point, I wouldn't have a clue if anyone had randomly approached my characters. ._.

Well, just quickly looking over everything again, it looks like you left Anno hanging with the Chie/Rin meeting.

And if I'm reading it right, you left both of the Takahashi girls just chilling in the hangar, so maybe Cats could make Dave 2.0 interpret Carl's latest comment as a "let's go to the hangar" thing? Have the four of them interact? Or does Anno want everyone in meeting rooms?

Guess what? I KNOW THAT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME THE BLATANTLY OBVIOUS. I MEANT THAT YOU LOT ARE POSTING WAY TOO FUCKING MUCH.

No, don't go to the hangar.

I... do feel like pointing out that yes, people are posting way too fast.

It's great that you're enthusiastic, but keep in mind that some people can't/won't post that fast due to time zones or desire to post with all their characters as opposed to one at a time.

Or having limited access to a computer.

But either way, there we go.

...Sorry. I've mainly just been trying to keep track of both my characters' conversations and post to move things along when I have time. I didn't intend for it to be a problem or anything.

The thing is, it makes it very difficult to reply to a scene when the characters in it have gone on for two pages of stuff, and it makes it difficult to recap with this posting rate.

Also, I'm kind of frightened to try and actually GM anything with this rate of posting.

In other words, stop posting for now and let everyone else catch up, okay?

#63: Jul 1st 2012 at 12:51:23 PM

Okay, yeah... I guess when you're in the middle of all that posting it can be easy to lose track of just how much the thread is growing for someone who hasn't had as much of a chance to get involved yet. And now I might have gone and actually damaged the RP, which I obviously wasn't trying to do and I honestly feel kind of terrible about now.

So alright, I'll just retire my characters for the time being and lurk for a while until things get caught up. Maybe still post here in the discussion thread if I feel the need to.

Honestly, there's something wrong when you've made two pages and done so much, while everyone else including the GM has only made one post.

Honestly, I can understand when there's a high player population in an RP but there isn't here.

[up]Thank you.

Yeah, I'm sorry. It's just that I'm used to be on the other side of that predicament. Being a European, I often find that the RPG has moved several pages while I was asleep, so once I see a chance to interact, I just pounce on it.

Me and Raineh are both British, so it's not like that's as big a problem here. Just relax and try and keep this going at a steady pace.

But yeah, I understand what you mean there all too well. >.<

Sadly I've got no such excuse - just a smartphone and a tendency to want to check up on things when I happen to be away from my computer. I love this thing to death, but it is also a curse in many ways...

Anyway, thanks for letting me know that it was getting to be a problem before it got too big. I hope there won't be any hard feelings.

So then I guess I'll just refrain from adding anything else to the RP until someone yells at me for not posting.[lol]

I was only posting because there were people to respond to, so I guess I'll slow down.

[up]Same here. Figured it was just dialogue, not like anything was blowing up. Plus it would be a bit hard to explain how Carl and Dave go from complete strangers to "Hi! Let's be BFF's! Do you like ponies too?" in just one post wink

[up] I am giggling like an idiot envisioning this exchange. grin

Anyway, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this mainly came about because I was forcing Dave 1.0 into conversations he didn't really need to be in and cluttering up things for the pilot/partner conversations that actually need to happen, and it also didn't help that I was role playing one of those as Yosuke at the same time (his meeting with Akane seems to have reached a logical endpoint anyway).

[up][up]Yes, neither Carl nor Dave 2.0 seem like they would be the type to make immediate bffsies.

I forgot to give Carl a rank. I don't want it to be Lieutenant, so there's no confusion with Dave (even though one's army and one's TIARAI) when someone says "Hello, Lieutenant", and anything higher than that would be too high. I'm thinking Specialist would be good, even if it is a bit low.

Uh oh. I found this post when I was lurking around. Is this even true? Does that mean basically half of the people here are now gone? I'm confused. sad

I was wondering why a pause in R Ping led to a complete cessation.

Yes, it is true. Anno, Moerin, and Raineh have been banned from the forums today.

Sorry for intruding on your game, guys, but I thought it best to get the facts out there as fast as possible.
