Up from the Dust: OOC [FULL]

[Ashy]

I should be able to get ahold of Hatter and deliver a kick to the head for you, Ashy. Presumably she's just been snowed under (*cough*) by holiday stuff.

Incidentally... Oh, nuts, I have to go immediately. Uhm, ask you a question later, eh?

No prob on either. I know that folks are busy for the holidays (I am about to join them as well), so if Hatter can't make it, no sweat... Just let me know what you need in regards to your question...

 

[Kelleris]

Right, then. It's just something that came up after the Intimidate/fascinate post:

How do you deal with synchronisity of posts?

In this example, I meant for Adauth to intercept Roth before he opened the door, and not to leave the guy alone until it looked like he wasn't going do something stupid (which he did, at least from where Adauth is sitting). It looked like you interpreted the posts as happening more or less instantly the moment they were posted, though (making my actions kinda beside the point). I just wanted some clarification on how this works for future reference. Do I need to specifically say that I'm interrupting X at Y point for it to happen?

 

[Ashy]

Do I need to specifically say that I'm interrupting X at Y point for it to happen?

Generally speaking, yes.

In this scenario, there were a couple of other things going on:

1. These portals are not your normal, everyday kinda portals
2. There was an issue of you not having any spells at that point. You tried to use the spells, which would have taken a moment or two before switching to your Intimidate. That moment or two was all that Roth needed to touch the portal. If you would have used Intimidate first, I would have ruled differently...

 

[Vendetta]

I think it will be fun but I'm finding that I'm so far behind. I can't believe how many posts go up on this adventure between times that I log in... so Wayne is sort of numbly walking through this thinking that it is a dream and perhaps a late night movie that he once watched.

 

[Kelleris]

Yeah, that's kinda where I'm at too, Vendetta. I logged on the other day and, lo and behold, they were through the page I was on, the next page, and into another page. Crazy. Not to mention that my character thrives on planning, and, well... Heh.

 

[Ashy]

I think what I will do is wait for everyone to post each day and then make one "major move" post each evening. That way, everyone should have a chance to catch up and plan accordingly. I think I am just trying to make up for causing such a long delay to begin with...and I'm excited.

Kelleris, don't worry - once you guys get your sea legs, there'll be lots of time for planning. You are all still in the "Huh? What? Wuzzat?" stages at this point...

 

[Vargo]

I'm alive, I've just been slammed by the triple threat of:

Being the only Helldesk employee without vacation this christmas
My wife's birthday
Christmas



If you can assume through Monday next week that the ride temporarily reactivated Vargo's temporary insanity spells, and he's gibbering on the floor for a bit, all should be well.

I think getting us to a point where we aren't going ot be wading in water and fearful for our newfound life is a good point to start turning this pot down to a simmer, as it were. I am fine with that myself, I certainly don't want to leave anyone behind either.

Gotcha, and having worked helpdesk once, a long time ago, you have my deepest sympathies...

::chuckle:: I think it'll all work out...
