[QUOTE="gabrion, post: 2707834, member: 30779"] Disclaimer: I want to get everyone on the same page so to speak, so plead don't be offended by any of the following. You guys have done a good job of RP thus far, but I'm not sure I've been clear about my expectations, so maybe this will help... I happen to agree with Someone here. I gave you guys some quick encounters to deal with since you went looking for them (notice that most of it you didn't have to roll, in order to expediate things), but I really think we should move on. If people wanted to, they could keep a single day in game time going for a year on PbP, but that's really not what I had in mind. As a matter of fact, because I didn't directly address this expectation before, let me put it out there now. I don't like slow PbP games (well, in as much as any PbP can escape being slow). I'm not going to be a jerk about it at this point (since I'd didn't give any kind of warning), but in the future if people are really slowing down group progress in some way, I will make bad things happen to them. I realize that this entails two slightly negative things. 1) You will have to metagame a bit. Really I don't mind this all that much for this purpose. For instance, you all could know that Someone is ready to move on to the next day, and even while your character has no such knowledge, you can act on it in order to be polite to the other players. 2) You may miss out on some small details of character development cause you don't get to RP everything you normally would. This is a sad fact of PbP. If we want to get anything done, we have to give up RPing our breakfast every now and then. As of right now Someone and Kyoni are ready to move to the meeting the next day, but we need to hear from GFS. I'm going to say that the next day actually happens 24 hours (real time) from now, so you have from now till then to say "I drink, sleep, take a crap, wake up, and head over to the meeting (in whatever clever way you wish to say that of course)." 'till then. [/QUOTE]
