Shards of a Broken Empire, Planning Thread Options

[saqin]

I agree that a line will slow it down, but I think that's preferable to being left behind in the rp. So yeah, I'd rather have a line than not. I'm okay with direct conversations being an exception, as in a person being allowed to answer before his/her turn.

So Taedril just asked Semir if he got the same letter. Now if I'm correct, that means I can jump the line and reply.

Hmm, that could be problematic. Semir would try to disengage from any conversation asap at the moment and get to the rendezvous. On the other hand, I'd kinda hoped he would arrive last/nearlast since he's going through a costume change and all which takes time.

So how about this. I have Semir reply to Taedril while excusing himself at the same time. Semir will then start his costume change in the same post. He will finish the change in my first post after that and arrive at the meeting. Since during the change he is isolated from all the other characters, I think it wouldn't cause any problems.

I'm gone all day tomorrow, so I'll just post right now. If there are problems, just put it in the planning thread, ignore Semir and I'll fix it when I get back.

Yep, you got it! I meant for that post to serve as an example to my line skip idea.

[grif11]

sorry for the double post.

I think its best if we stick to this one rp, since this will probably die if we make another. (take coldshorts or war of necromancy for example) Lets stick to this one so we can finish it for once, before making a new one.

[Ahrenil]

Right sorry for the slight absence, my new course just started and i've had to juggle reorganising modules and planning a trip to Egypt. But it's all sorted now...roughly.

So, since Jack just posted i'll wait for the line to run through and then post.

Caboose.... You should go to the planning thread before posting. There's a line for posting, you see, and that line (I think) keeps the RP clean and orderly. It goes like this:

Ahrenil = Jack Cloudy = Me = Saqin = Grif = Dantrag = Lord Revan

Since the line is in order of which we posted our characters, that means you're the last. Not meant to be antagonizing, but that's the rule. Can you please edit that out? That's all I can think of cleaning that out, TBH. You guys have any ideas?

[jack cloudy]

I don't like the idea of leaving an empty post either. I'd say we let it slide and consider this his introduction-post that establishes the character. It also gives him the option (which Caboose used) to have Kelzar arrive in time, instead of being forced to embarass himself by coming in late.

One thing though. Reading from the context, I assume that the 'Breton rushing away from the table' is Semir. This leads to two problems at the end of your post.
1: Semir is not even remotely near the little room with the Emperor.
2: When he does arrive, he will look, talk and act completely different.
So could you please edit out the part with Kelzar recognizing the Breton? I'd appreciate it.

Anyway, I've got nothing to say on that subject, so let's move on.

Uleni, could you edit the first post in the planning or perhaps the playground thread and add the posting-line to it? I know that I'll forget about it all the time and having an easy place to see it would save me time looking for it.

And regarding the dialogue-interruption rule. If it resets the line each time it's used, we'll get nowhere. So how about we claim that interuption (is it with one r or two?) is ignored as far as postinglines go? When making a dialogue-interuption, you could start your post like this:

INTERUPT Semir Grey

dialogue goes here.


I think that's everything I have to say for now. Oh wait, update to the line. With Caboose in here, it would be:

Ahrenil => Jack Cloudy => Uleni Athram => Saqin => Grif => Dantrag => Lord Revan => TheTrueCaboose

I've fixed the post for you jack cloudy. It shouldn't interrupt with the continuity now . If there is any more problems just tell me about them and I will fix it. Sorry I interupted the posting sequence I'll wait next time.

[Uleni Athram]

Nah, no problem. I think The Line isn't used in most RPs, eh? Anyway, we should wait only on Dantrag to post, Lord Revan and then its your turn. Nice character, BTW. This RP should be good with you in it. Nice having you here!

[Lord Revan]

Thanks, man. Some of my fondest memories on this forum have been here in role-playing. I do cringe though when I look at my posts from years ago.

[Uleni Athram]

Lol. Anyway, its your turn.

[grif11]

I should probably mention that Taedril has left for the legates room, and will arrive with everyone else (minus Semir).

[grif11]

Heres a suggestion for the RP: If somebody doesn't post for a long time,(two weeks maybe?) we should be allowed to "move on". However, The missed out guy/gal can post their go whenever they want for that cycle of the line.

[Uleni Athram]

IDK, grif. "Whenever they want" seems like abusing the line, at least for me. I agree that we move on when they don't post, but the order of the line should maintain its roster. Keeps it nice and orderly and, you know, not confusing.

[grif11]

Hmm, I suppose so. Anyway, should we move on after 2 weeks since the last in-character post or sooner? (later!?)

[Uleni Athram]

Hmm... How about five days? That's in the middle end of time (not too soon, not too late). If we go by this, that means tomorrow its your turn if Sa'Qin doesn't still post.

I hope she's not mad... *chuckles nervously*

[saqin]

Posted, and I think five days sounds fair, though my post ended up being quite rushed. And I'm not mad, five days is really a lot of time for writing up a post. Sorry for the wait though, I hope you're not mad because it ended up being so small.

[grif11]

Heh, I was actually just getting impatient (normal for me) for my turn.

Since were heading to Morrowind, Taedrils gonna be quite important!

(P.S-Don't expect a friendly chat between Taedril and Nihri on our adventure)

[Tellie]

Is it possible for me to jump in on this?
