[QUOTE="perrinmiller, post: 5439375, member: 88649"] [sblock=Posting Speed]I think I know exactly what Songdragon is upset about. I had this same issue in another game(not [MENTION=25773]EN[/MENTION]W) 3 weeks ago. She is our face character and stated the intention of doing the talking. She never had a chance to do so and I would be upset too if it were me in her shoes as well. ;) Keep in mind that weekends are slower for most people and this happened on a Sunday, usually the slowest day of posting at EnWorld. Yesterday (Saturday evening in the US) we received the DM update for seeing the Croakers. Several of us posted brief reactions, probably waiting for Zelena to do the talking and catching up on Mystic Pearl business. Then the next DM update came about 20 hours RL later with something directed at her specifically that I expect she would have liked to respond to. After Fury's post, the combat initiation post came only one hour RL later. So in the span of 21 hours (on a weekend) we went from seeing the scene advance to combat without everyone possibly getting a chance to respond. This is what I meant about throttling it back from the breakneck pace we had in Buyer's Remorse so we can enjoy the ride with more player interaction. With time zone differences some people are not going to have an opportunity to even read a DM scene update if we don't wait at least 24 hours RL some times, more so on the weekends. Personally I only have a 3-4 hour window to post on Saturday and Sunday evenings in Japan and all too often people start posting about an hour after I turn in for the night. :p As it stands, I have yet had the opportunity to roll Initiative for Borric in any combat in both adventures. But that's not a complaint, just an observation to illustrate how things go due to the time zone differences. I have previous said, that I would prefer the DM roll that to keep from holding things up.[/sblock]Borric chuckles as the inevitable hostilities break out, [COLOR=DarkRed]"Well so much for using words, let's settle this with steel then!"[/COLOR] He steps up behind Zelena and pulls out a chakram with his right hand to send the whirling blade spinning at Lorenzo.
