RP General Discussion

Ok just had a thought.

The groups are functioning, but if you want to have something a bit bigger, post big discussions here.
Because it seems the group discussions were designed for smaller posts.

wow...it's only 8:00 PM EST and it's really quiet...
this...is unusual...

@Cucoo

Well I am playing Elsword/waiting for IC thread for ATWAGII =w=

Check the OOC

I just want ppl's thoughts on the draft I created. Once I get a few opinions then I'll post the thread.

DEBATE

Would this Time system work for All the World's a Game?

Where 24 Hours in Real Life would equal the progression of 1 Hour in the RP's Story?

@Cucoo

Personally in my opinion I had a time system like that in several old RP's and worked, and even to this day I still like using such a system.

It will just make it seem like days are droning on and on sometimes.

Maybe 24 hours IRL = 2 hours IC wise?

Hmm...

I would do the opposite.

24 hrs = 30 minutes...or maybe even less. The problem is the scattered activeness of everyone...

I think we should keep the progression of time reliant on how fast the story is moving. The timekeeping system would be like ATWAP. Even if we're somewhat active, we won't have to worry about the days stretching on.

The only reason I mentioned the time was to eliminate confusion because one person would say that it's daytime in the RP, while in another post, someone would say that it's nighttime. This is to eliminate confusion and to prevent people from unrealistically traveling across vast distances in tiny amounts of time.

Actually...if we were to use the time zones ...it could be day in like Europe, but night in Japan...

But you're talking about travel...

So how about we collaborate at any given point to determine the time at (GMT +0) in the Story and then I post that as the official time in the RP.

@Cucoo

I meant that one person would say that it's daytime, while another person would say that it's nighttime, and they would be in the same location.

I've got a better idea. every once in a while, we announce whether it's day or night, to prevent this stuff from happening, and if, for example, someone travels across the entirety of Gensokyo in 5 minutes at 40 mph, we tell them to make their travel time more reasonable and not bounce all over the map. :p

Screw the time system, it'll gum up the works. It's my fault for bringing it up. -_-;
