[QUOTE="Catulle, post: 781951, member: 9942"] That said, I'm probably going to be a little more blunt than I mean to be, simply because I don't want to risk misinterpretation. Please feel free, as ever, to air the gaffes with me over e-mail. I suspect that much of this issue comes down to the timing issue that you identify in your second post, as well as other contributing factors I'll identify shortly. When I indicate that I want to tidy up the IC thread and keep things moving, I'm talking about providing a reaction that won't cause the scene to continue to tailspin. I can identify the source of the problem really pretty easily, and it's almost precisely what you indicate in that second post. Why it arose, I couldn't say, but the fact that this issue has come up (twice, as I recall) previously hints to me that we should know better than to fall into that trap by now. A post which delineated other characters' actions and the continuation of posts in the assumption that no response by other characters in the scene would affect the outcome is basically where the mess started. We've seen it before with Vychtorya writing Carrick, and it was commented on then at length. We saw it more recently with Festy's effectively ending a minor scene and it was commented on again. Essentially, by taking that course of action, I think that precisely the same things which you complain about were precipitated for other characters by the series of posts starting with Kit's stamped 03-18-2003 05:55 PM by my clock. I tried to roll with that, letting some response go which I'm sure you would indicate is only fair, with the proviso that things be allowed to progress as smoothly as possible. Now, it seems to a part of me I don't really [i]want[/i] to be listening to, that without a shutting down and cooling off period, we'll get trapped in an eternal circle of trying to get in the last word; I don't think that's good for the story... I think you hit the nail on the head here (I'm not convinced Caitlyn would be in a state to comment other than in by internal-monologue (which, reading it, is precisely what Kit's done. Cool)). I must say that I had it framed with Cate and Sabrina in the room, and Jemal and Vychtorya in the doorway. Poor description on my part, I think, which I'll try to pay more attention to in the future.
