[SBLOCK=Initiative Reminder]
Dlsharrock - Keeper
greenstar - Arabella
Bialaska - New gal
Lucean - Dr Phil
Kookalouris - Sam
[/SBLOCK][SBLOCK=OOC Kookalouris]Welcome back Kook! You're up next. Did you see my comment before about library internet connections? Anyway, consider Cara to be grilling Sam about how she came to own the Witching Hour, I'll trust you to roll in with some kind of ongoing conversation and I'll pick up on your lead.[/SBLOCK][SBLOCK=OOC Lucean]You can put more generalised roleplay stuff outside an SBLOCK as it's not strictly OOC. You're still telling us what Philip is doing, so it constitutes an in character turn. If you'd rather other players didn't read it, feel free to put it in an SBLOCK, but mark it IC so we know you're using your place in the turn sequence. I'm assuming that was your turn this time round.[/SBLOCK][SBLOCK=OOC Everyone]I'd like to experiment with a trial method for playing. Please take note from the initiative order who comes
after you. For me it's greenstar. For greenstar it's Bialaska. For Bialaska it's Lucean. For Lucean it's Kookalouris, and for Kook it's me. From now on, when you've posted a turn, on a new line, always at the bottom of your post and always right aligned (highlight the name and click the right align widget), please put the name of the player (not the player character, so greenstar, rather than Arabella, or Lucean rather than Philip) whose go it is next in the turn sequence, giving the next player an unmissable prompt that you're done with your turn and they're up next. Kinda like handing over the baton in a relay race. I think this'll make things less confusing
example:
Cyndy soon comes trundling back with a tonic water into which she's popped a small pink umbrella. She plonks a scarf on the table too, eyeing the newcomer with a sideways look,
"here y'go toots. Lost property. Y'can keep that." She rolls away again.
greenstar
Obviously, not in quotes. This just makes it clearer to see the example. And if you put stuff in SBLOCKs, the name should always be outside the SBLOCK, like this:

greenstar
When you're posting OOC comments only and not taking your turn, put the name of the player whose go it is next. So, using the above example, if I prompted greenstar to play her turn next but Kookalouris wanted to throw in an OOC comment out of turn sequence, he can do so but needs to remind greenstar it's still her turn next by adding her name at the bottom of his OOC turn. Make sense? So if there's a heap of OOC after the last in-sequence turn, we can all still clearly see whose go it is next.
And obviously, hold off taking your turn until you see your own name prompted.
Any confusion let me know. Sounds complicated, but in the long run it should make it a lot easier to see what's going on and where we are in the sequence. I'll start the ball rolling with this post.
