[QUOTE="jdeleski, post: 2614434, member: 33307"] [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]Further thoughts about this topic:[/COLOR] I'd be perfectly happy if this OOC thread managed to get 2 combat rounds, or even 5 rounds, ahead of the IC thread. So I'd rather see everyone keep the combat moving forward by posting your character's actions whenever you get a few minutes to spare instead of waiting for the IC thread to catch up. When time becomes available, I'll add a post in the the IC thread that summarizes the action from the OOC thread, but if we always wait for the IC thread to keep up, then we'll delay our game by quite a bit. I know that these two statements conflict. 1) We need to post in the IC thread, and don't necessarily need to put anything in the OOC thread. 2) I'd like to keep combat moving, even if temporarily everyone posts in OOC, then updates the IC thread later. It's a balance we'll have to strike. If we move quickly through the combat, and don't update the IC thread, then either we'll slow down when we get to our writings, or we may find that the OOC and IC threads are so out of synch that it's difficult to eventually write our IC descriptions. I'll let you know if my head explodes if you do likewise. :p Otherwise I assume that we're doing OK. Morpheus, if you were posting your IC actions here to give me a "heads up" on your character's plans, and planned to copy them over to the IC thread after I added my IC writings for Paco's joining your grapple, then that's a great way to keep things moving. Thanks! Job. [/QUOTE]
