@Kristia
This is just something I noticed about Kris. She just went to her room, put her things away, left her room, left the hotel, went to the marketplace, bought clothes, and returned to the hotel in the time span it took for the others to finish a small conversation, which only took about 30 seconds. What she did should have taken at least 20 minutes.
I don't mean to complain or nitpick, but could you try and stretch out your time next time? It's just to make things a little more reasonable in terms of time.

@Everyone in TSU
Also on top of what S1 said in TSU people have been going from the main building, to the different Districts and locations on the campus in single posts. When it should take the time span of several posts to reach locations. I mean a normal walk from the main building, to the Shopping and Restaurant Districts take 10-15 minutes. When going to these districts, and even other areas don't just have your character do something then in the same post they went and got to the Shopping District if they were at their Dorm. Instead why don't you all do something like in one post have your character do something, then decide to go to a district. Then in the next post have your character walking or heading to the District, then in like the 3rd or 4th post have them arrive.
Having a character do something, then leave their current location, and immediately arrive to their destination in the same post while someone else's character is walking to one location to another while having a conversation among the course of 3-4 posts with them arriving at where they want on the 5th post or so GREATLY messes with the flow of time and all in an RP and it can get SO FRUSTRATING.
People try managing your time. Take several posts to do something, and arrive somewhere. Not just 1-2 posts. Have them do it in 4-6 posts instead. As like I said, if two characters are having a conversation that takes 10 to 15 minutes over the course of 4-5 posts, and another character somewhere else in the area does multiple things which would have taken them like 10-15 minutes in one post can really f%#$ with time in an RP. It's just annoying. No one is omnipotent, nor fast enough to do something that takes 10-15 minutes over the course of say 4-5 posts in just 1 post. It's just BS to be honest.
Everyone is guilty of it, and I have to say people should try managing your time better in RP's.
Hey Katrix this is another General RP Advice thing! Thanks to S1 to be honest. I just helped touch upon this.

Just saving this here for later. It has to do with a concept for an RP.
These say we use 65% of our strength.

I always thought the time laps always happen when we did that, traveling from one place to another.

Uh... no not really...
Unless stated otherwise it does not count. It also won't make sense if someone does something like having a conversation with someone and it takes 10-15 posts, and someone does something that takes 10-15 minutes in a single post. I see it happen often as others are traveling from one district to another in a single post when others like me and say S1 have our character reach the districts over like 3-5 posts. Maybe longer if they get in a conversation with someone. People in TSU need to take several posts to reach locations in TSU, especially if others are taking several posts to reach a place.
There can be exceptions.
Say I make a post saying Andrew left his dorm and started on his way towards a location 15 minutes away, and it takes about 3-5 posts to do it. Then I leave for a few hours IRL. When I come back I see there was a conversation that took 10-15 minutes in the RP among other characters. Then I can make a post once I return saying that Andrew had arrived since 10-15 minutes had passed in IC time while I was gone.
I will go more into detail later. Kind of busy IRL currently.

@ SUS + Zekai
Translation: It's a careful balance of figuring out if other parts of the IC have moved. (It's why I like to put characters on Standby...)
Let others "progress" the time in the IC while you just sit back and wait for when the appropriate time comes up...
Meanwhile I'm thinking of somehow consolidating and refining some of the notes and equipment used in EG by mainly Aion, which can then apply to others.
*Not going into too many specifics with the boots because I'm just queasy every time I think too hard about what it's doing...
Notes:
- Orion's Legacy: Consists of the remnants of the fighter frame: X-01 "Sonic Blade," which Aion modified into X-02 Eclipse Blade
- Nemesis: Although obviously an AI, Aion believes her to be connected to the conscious of his sister, Tina.
She is capable of existing in a spirit-like form (hologram) outside of the vehicles she is incorporated in alongside Aion.
Her appearance:
Hologram:
Android:
- Knowledge: Because Aion hand built X-02, he knows its systems inside and out. However he is not the most adept mechanic; he can tell when something is wrong and what needs to be done to fix it.
- Weapons:
Aion himself carries a broad sword that can separate into two single-edged sabres. This is known as the D-Helix Sabre. It is also a versatile gunblade with the barrel aligned with the blunt edge of the sabres or the blood channel of them combined. Capable of firing moderately sized energy pulses in a shotgun manner. In addition, the blunt side of the sabers has thrusters allowing him to swing them with greater force.
His fighter, X-02 Eclipse Blade, has a full complement of non-guided missiles known as SPARROWS. Small, fast, and designed to pierce armor to cause structural damage. They do not explode, but the sheer quantities fired at one time make them effective. A single pod has about 300 SPARROWS and he can choose how many to fire off at a time. X-02 has 4 pods equipped at any given time. SPARROWS are most effective when 100 are fired off at once.
It also has an energy pulse Gatling gun where its ability to fire is tied to his fighter's power core. If energy exists, it can fire.
- Armor of His Fighter:
Capable of withstanding the extreme strains and temperatures of hypersonic flight makes it resilient against energy based weapons, but slightly weak to physical trauma (like missiles) due to the light armor plating.
Shield generator can be focused onto smaller portions the metal plating in order to create a more resilient protection against all attacks.
- Glide Boots
His boots serve multiple purposes: the first is to cut off blood flow into his legs while retaining the organic limbs functionality, second to increase his legs strength, and finally overall mobility and agility on the ground. They are capable of generating a force field on the soles that makes it so that the wearer can glide along the ground with no friction. Combined with the thrusters of his blades, this allows Aion to accelerate on the ground faster than normal.
- Personal Environmental Shield
A shield generated with Aura Energy that negates or dampens most environmental hazards. Typically allows the user to survive in hazardous environments that have anything that can be converted into breathable atmosphere. Therefore it serves as a means to survive toxic atmospheres as long as the needed breathable components exist. It also allows for short underwater exploration as it could separate out the breathable components of water (oxygen) however oxygen poisoning
It cannot protect fully against physical damage; dampens various effects like freezing or burning.
If focused, can create a resilient defense.
- EVO Jacket
His jacket is for all climates, adjusting body temperature to accommodate the environment.
- AURA Jacket
A variation of the EVO Jacket with more armor and concentrated Aura Shielding; designed for combat and Aura energy manipulation.
