Elysium Squad OOC

[Nonlethal Force]

Just a friendly DM reminder to the players ... since I don't have an NPC in game - the story is going to be driven on by your characters. If some of you don't post IC - this is going to be a slow moving game! Also, remember that all I can do is bring in NPCs for the players to interact with. It is up to you all to interact with each other.

Fenris: As to your OOC request in the IC thread ... yes, I figured Yavarin is out in front. [Aside - how is Yavarin seeing? Lowlight vision doesn't help him underground all that well] Anything in particular he is looking for? Also - in the future, could you either Sblock your OOC posts or better yet put the OOC stuff in the OOC thread (unless they specifically pertain to part of your IC post)? The reason I like the OOC stuff to be in the OOC thread is because this way I can respond in this thread openly - which is the purpose of this thread. Additionally, too much OOC stuff in the IC thread (especially if not Sblocked) can lead to sidetracking and bogging down the game. Thanks!

I'm trying NLF

I've found that IC interaction is often fueled by the little extras. Ray saw Eva fidget, and he steped up. He's calling her child (dispite the fact that he's quite young himself, though he appears sort of ageless, so this isn't an issue). Don't be afraid to put the little extras, like head nods, body language, ect. It makes it much easier to read a person's state of mind/intent.

on the other hand, since we have 6, I don't see a reason you can't push once 4 decide to go one way unless one of the ones who hasn't posted has pertinent information.

Excellent advice. I'll also try to do this with the NPCs as well. If I don't when I post, please remind me to do it. I'll hold you all to keep me honest in this regard as well.

Oh - trust me. The party has been pushed.

I was trying not to make it the Eva and Brother Ray show with too many posts Seems like it's picking up now that the work week has started again.

And I like throwing in those extras since there are things that you can do with PbP that you can't do as easily with tabletop play. Painting that whole picture of your character is just harder to do at the table than online with a text box, so I try to take advantage of it here.

I understand, but it's not that big of a deal if we get a couple of extra posts, just as long as we aren't preventing others from RPing or doing anything. So a little side conversation won't kill anything.

Fixed!

Fenris:

[Sblock]Sorry, busy day. As to what hit you. Just a big ole ball of energy that hit you like a heat seeking missle. Energy damage - but Yavarin is not on fire nor is there any damage to items, etc. And it appeared to really come out of nowhere from way off. [/Sblock]

 

[Fenris]

No sweat NF. Been busy for me as well. I felt bad holding everybody up. I left you some room to advance things as you like in my post.

Especially if they are conversation posts without a lot of actionin the post as well. Conversation posts are always welcome - and they are realistic because a ton of conversation can happen in a very short amount of time. Please feel free to converse as often as desired. Don't ever feel like a post hog if all you are posting is conversation.

As far as action goes ... I'll make sure that everyone gets a chance before allowing the action to go too far ahead too quickly.
