Pellicius High School, 4200 Hanso Lane (OOC Companion Thread)

[Heartstrings]

I'm honestly pretty chill with whatever the time separation we decide upon, as I'll usually only be able to post every few hours or so. I just want to see that everyone gets a chance to get their post in, without things moving too fast and leaving someone behind.

*EDIT* However, it looks like characters will probably start splitting off into little subgroups at this point, instead of having everybody all interacting with each other all at once. In my experience this makes things a bit easier to follow.

How bout 2 hrs. 1 hr seems too fast

[Ræfóa Aldrnari]

I may have an idea for another thing we could also do:
When there is a situation involving multiple people (3 or more), then when one person writes, another person in the "group" writes (of course), but then they should wait for the third (fourth, fifth and so on) to also write. If not, the situation can quickly turn into something only between two or three of the people involved in it. I've had this happen to me multiple times in other RP's, so I know how annoying it can be.

This is just an idea, since I know a couple of the people involved in this RP has the same time zone, but there are a few (myself included) that doesn't. And then, it's not fun to wake up to see, that a situation has moved on without one self.

Please tell me what you think of the idea.

Marcus, I think that's a fantastic idea.  When a situation starts to escalate to a certain point, I'll make a post on here to "enable" wave posting along with an assigned order of posts, and then make another post to similarly "disable" wave posting.

On another note, I ask everybody to please keep continuity of time in mind because it's starting to get a little messy in the story - 1st block hasn't yet started in the timelines of Mark, Rocket, and Kamren, yet the same block is almost ended for others.  I ask that you please be mindful of this and refrain from posting that moves the general timeline out of whack, because the day is on a schedule and it's just getting a little crazy right now.

All that aside, I truly do love the direction this is going in and what you all have brought to the table.  Don't forget to watch this thread for updates - and long live Rocket, may his name be ever obscured.

I am really confused as to where the timeline is supposed to be...
Like I know it has to do with me posting really slow but... As for where my character's at, he's barely starting the first block right after homeroom...
But others are finishing up classes and going all over the place and I'm having trouble keeping up... >.<

[Oceanic815]

Well, I'd originally considered a sort of constant wave posting system wherein the school day would not progress between the different sections (Homeroom, 1-4 blocks, and lunch) without a post from me on the IC thread saying that the school day was moving onto the next section, but I ultimately decided against it because I thought that it would be too restrictive, interrupt the flow of action that characters were creating, and possibly dissuade people from posting.  However, if it's something that we're actually in need of, and you guys think there's a need for, I can do it.  I just wanna know if you guys think that would be good for spreading out the opportunity to post, or if you guys think that would impede on the story too much.

I don't really mind, if you post the track of time, starting and ending blocks, since it makes it a little easier to know what time it is. Plus the events would seem to happen more at the same time, instead of some being at the end of a block, while others are at the start of the same block.

[Heartstrings]

I'm not saying that I want to make anything too restrictive. But it seems like other characters are getting really far ahead, timeline-wise while others are getting left behind. Like it seems like some characters have already progressed through one or more class blocks already while others are going a lot more slowly. And then trying to tie the characters together when their timelines aren't matching up - it just doesn't make much sense for the continuity of the story.

[Ræfóa Aldrnari]

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking as well. I'm just trying to follow the timeline with Oceanic, since he's the OP, and I feel like his time is the most "current", if that makes sense.

[anonsucks117]

Look one of you guys just adress me when its cool for me to post. This is getting too confusing for me but i dont wanna mess up whatever your planning out. So yeah just have someone talk to guage if you want him to talk or whatever while i try to figure out whats even going on. I went to sleep, woke up, and bam. Loottss of changes in the works apparently.

[Ræfóa Aldrnari]

Well, maybe you can post how the class is going from your perspective. Like, how Gauge is observing the others, and what he thinks about them and "Dancy on your lap", maybe. I've done it, and maybe you could too, just to post something?

[Tempest (Red Panda)]

Gauge could get bored and find me in the library if you want

[Rocket]

For sake of preserving the timeline, I'm going to wait again to post until everyone is done with first block.

[Ræfóa Aldrnari]

I don't know the reason why Oceanic isn't on much (probably work, sleep, etc.), but maybe, if he could get small times to check on the rp, he could post a time switch. Like, just a simple post saying "1st block done. 2nd block starting", or something.
It's just an idea, but it's cool, if it doesn't work.
