Thanks everyone for letting me know you're still here! I think there may be a few people who have dropped. Any recommendation on what to do with these characters? Use them as NPCs? Just ignore them?

@Famotill
Say that they suddenly got called away to do something totally important and off screen?

@Famotill Put them under my character's care. Let's say he still has connections and is still doing his thing even behind his old master's back.

@Bishop
Hmmm I'll message you about this

@Avanhelsing
Yeah, I was thinking that! Alternatively I was thinking of just making them NPCs so that if someone ends up having more time to jump back in they can logically.

I just wanted to apologize all for pushing the pirate pad thing. I should've realized that a lot of people were really just looking to RP in a more traditional sense rather than this massive collab that almost defeats the purpose of the guild.

I also want to stress that if you're wondering if your character can perceive something or might know something (especially if your character might have a backstory related to the events) please message me! I don't mind at all helping you out with your post. If your character is talking to an NPC and you want to get the info out quickly through one post also message me! I can help you in that regard too!

I want to make this as easy and fun as possible- if you all aren't enjoying something or need help please don't be afraid to tell me! I promise I will listen to you!

Oh no, I think pirate pad is super good to plots like this. Without pirate-pad and giant collabs this RP would die faster.
Traditional sense RP-ing? That traditional sense RP-ing is what makes RPs die fast. You have post after post of actions and half-assed dialogue since everyone posts once you can't have a lengthy conversation and interaction and everything seems rushed and interrupted.

The purpose of the guild is to be a medium for the writers to connect and intertwine their own stories. Piratepad only enhances that.
Hell, if we just all went to piratepad and wrote the whole RP there, it would be better. Posting section after section to clear the pad up after some paragraphs.

How long it took us to write that whole collab? 2-3 days? How long do you think it would've taken if we were all posting separatly? 2-3 weeks?Maybe a month? Since everyone has their own time and agenda when they are available, and everyone in a post by post format always follows an order of post so as not to clot the information and give others a chance to post, just one person being some days behind schedule for posting, then another and another, would kill the RP.

While in piratepad 2 people can just go on and on with their conversations and actions before making the key action that requires another person to participate who is currently unavailable. When that person comes they can progress the RP but their absence didn't hinder any character development or other actions in general as you find in post by post.

@Bishop
Hmmm, I'll have to take this into consideration. It could just be that we use both, and if others don't want to use the pad it's fine. It isn't perfect, but I do think it makes the RPing more fluid.

Nothing is absolute or final here, and we can change up when we need to.

@Famotill Oh and, what about the missing characters? They Npcs or...

@Famotill

I like the pad as an option, I think it's good for those high-interaction moments as @Bishop mentioned

The only reason I haven't used it so far is because my character hasn't been in a scenario in which it would have been applicable, as I'm not sure if @Lionhearted has time for that with how much they work xD

@Famotill Oh and, what about the missing characters? They Npcs or...

Oh, and more importantly; who are the missing characters? :o

I haven't heard from Stasis or Emma

Happy New Year (whether it's already the first for you or the first hasn't come yet)!! I'm excited to see the places you guys take this RP to in 2018!!!

Happy New Year all! Looking forward to seeing where our characters go next.

Sorry I was MIA! The Holidays and new years took me away! I'm back. Did i miss anything important!?!

Nope! You're all good- other than a reply in the IC! You're up to date

@Emma Welcome back! Not too much has happened, just trying to rally everyone at the tavern! Looking forward to having the Owls unite 乁[ᓀ˵▾˵ᓂ]ㄏ (that's an owl)

I'm a little stuck on what to post since there's not much to respond to.

@Lionhearted
Sorry about the late response. I can message you to help you out with some stuff to help move things forward.

@Lionhearted

I figured we were on our own initiative! xD

I.E we gotta find these fools, and how we do it is up to us!

Good thing Siella got an expert stalker with her! ^^
