RP General Discussion

I hate my brother so much right now... Once again, he disconnected me for the night. And this time, it was just as I was about to post for TSU. Thanks to my brother's dickery, not only was my post delayed but continuity was also partially broken by Zekai, outside of my control.

"But I had everything set up and perfect!"

@Zekai
How could you have not seen that the group was just about to do something? Heck, you could've at least waited or, better yet, interrupted at a better time *wink*.

I can't control what your brother does, but didn't we all saw S121's good idea that if you wanted to post something, but would take time, you would need to post "posting" or "writing" so we should wait for you?

@Kristia
Here's the thing. I didn't know as to if or when I'd be disconnected so reservations could not be made in time. And besides, I have very mixed opinions about S121's system. On one hand, I can understand the necessity of it in certain circumstances. Having the ability to prevent intrusions and organise one's scenes and stories with reservations. But on the other hand, it makes us seem more like robots carrying out instructions and formulating an all-too organised story. It takes away human character and the element of surprise out of certain scenarios. And by Tsukuyomi, do I not want my mischief and chaos taken away from me.

It might be my extreme crankiness as of late. But having my sleep cycle forcibly altered by my brother's actions (despite having my own plans to change it) and having continuity partially broken outside of one's control can really do things to you. Note how I said partially. Everything's alright in terms of story but in the eyes of a reader, it can seem very disjointed and out of order.

still, since at least I know you take your time (idk how much) then adding your brother's switching your internet off, it would be good if you warn us you have something prepared for all of us.

But I won't keep pressing on the situation, it is in the past

The MSF OOC board is just about finished. All I need now are some recruits!

TR, you do realize that what you said has a contradiction in of itself?

Here's the thing. I didn't know as to if or when I'd be disconnected so reservations could not be made in time.

Is it that hard to create a post that says something like [POSTING] prior to writing out your entire post?
I know you're a slow typer and all, but you would be insulting yourself if you can't type one word and click the post button in less than a minute.

...Having the ability to prevent intrusions and organize one's scenes and stories with reservations.

...and having continuity partially broken outside of one's control

This is the contradiction
The system would give you control over preventing the very thing you're complaining about.

...But on the other hand, it makes us seem more like robots carrying out instructions and formulating an all-too organized story.

Everything's alright in terms of story but in the eyes of a reader, it can seem very disjointed and out of order.

The second contradiction:
You complain about the chaos, the fact that something ruined your initial plan, and then complain at the same time about the answer to organizing the chaos so that it doesn't ruin your plans.


I mean, seriously, the "Post Reservation" concept is the answer to giving you both order, to make things seem less disjointed, as well as giving you the element of surprise you desire as no one knows what you post until you post it. If anything it builds more suspense as you see the post that says you're posting and then everyone would be wondering what you're going to post.

Why complain about it when it gives you everything you want and then some?

well, there is a planetary alignment today, cucoo graced us with his presence

Aye, there's a point where I have to just stop watching and say something cause I really think the RPs would benefit from the post reservation concept with the above reasons.

everyone loves spontaneous posts and all but...
not that kind of spontaneous.
The post can remain spontaneous, but at least everyone can get in their own thing this way.

@TRXD

Of course I saw something coming but Ryofu didn't so she didn't know that she was going to interrupt something.

Eh, whatever. I've dealt with it now and I've moved on.

@Cucoo
My logic is f*cked up. How have you not known this before replying to me?
