Oh but I do because I'm actually, you know, trying to talk about it and figure out a way that this could've been done. I never said you should delete your post, for one. I outright said I don't know the distances, and that that's the problem. I like your post and I think it's perfectly doable, just split in two. One interacting with Daler and taking notice that Brock is up to no good and dashing in hoping the kids can handle themselves, and then another after the kids have handled themselves and you can come in and be teacherly to the one kid trying to set his playmates on fire.

I never, however, said Brock's heat wave is or should be instantaneous. At all. I said that there's three characters standing at closer ranges and actively involved with/being targeted by him. You know who was paying close attention to Brock's moves other than Meilin? The one kid with magical eye powers that's getting a boost and just pelted him with shuriken and the trained martial artist with an ability that's all about measuring up opponents, distance and attacks to a minute level. The same people who are closer to him than Meilin. Do you see how these people would likely have to react first over someone dashing in from the side?

You're talking about your character doing nothing but my character is directly involved with the test, he's in there and he's literally done nothing but be confused by this whole deal in every single post. I'm having fun with that, apparently people like that too I guess. You've a teacher character, many other people do and those characters are doing their teacher thing. You're setting up character interactions and relations, kind of meant to be a big part of this, that's hardly nothing.

Finally, you're taking the 100 meter remark literally when it was just me saying that acrobatics =/= dash speed. And yes, actually, coaches do analyze and take notes of how their players do across the field and direct from there. They take those notes and along with whatever observations they make in more close-up and personal training determine what each kid needs to work on. For max fine-tuning there's also getting footage from actual games but that's neither here nor there.

Yeah, I'm still waiting for this matter to be settled before posting, since Freyja would definitely react to something like that happening.

Alright...so I kinda agree, I do feel like Meilin maybe might have been a bit too fast in her post, but I don't feel like deleting the entire post is necessary. I feel like maybe instead, Meilin could have tried to get there (and maybe even have gotten fairly close), but didn't really make it there quick enough. We did just recently have a discussion about how Brock's attack won't really do any real damage to them anyway, so I don't feel like it'll be too much of a problem. Maybe you can then make a second post having Meilin ask the students if they feel alright or something like that

tbh yeah, I'm thinking that the majority of the post was good, but I'm a little iffy on movement speed. I had been planning on giving the other team at least five posts worth of uninterrupted travel time before Brock's arrival at the flag from a full sprint myself, so I'm kinda agonizing over the split between 'do cool things' and 'keep it reasonable'.

I'll get some more coherent thoughts up in the morning if this doesn't get totally resolved by then.

Isn't it already resolved? I erased the post. I got kinda excited because I was going to have something to do, that's why I posted.

I not exactly feeling like interacting with others anytime soon. Feel free to orget that my character is there at least until the end of test.

But no one wants you to delete the post or not do cool stuff, is the thing. The issue is that in trying to get your character to do stuff no other teacher is doing, you kind of rushed and barged into a situation that Meilin likely couldn't have reached in time before the three other people directly involved in the confrontation had a chance to react. Everyone wants to do cool things but they have to respect what their characters could or couldn't do so this doesn't become a make-shit-up contest.

You're getting all huffy and even deleted the copy of the post you made but no one asked you to get rid of the whole thing. People liked it. In fact, we're literally giving you a way to keep basically all of it with the slightest of changes. It really is as simple as just splitting it in two, and it takes away nothing from your character doing her thing at all.

You can keep the part where you were interacting with the other teacher basically as it was, then see that shenanigans are afoot and dash in to help without automatically making it there. This gives the group a chance to react to the heat beam and do their thing, because they're already there, involved in the situation and have the capacity to defend themselves. Then Brock can get up and try to start a fight and then you can reach him and stop him and give him a sermon. Everyone gets to do things, everyone is happy.

No one wants you to go sulk in a corner, m8, we're trying to clear up reasonable doubts and are giving you plenty of room to do the things you wanted to do. Try not to take criticism or discussion as a personal attack, because it's not. It really isn't.

You are insisting on a situation that is already solved.
I'm not sulking in the corner or anything. I realize that this is not an "event" that my character should partake. I must admit that I feel a little left out and abandoned, by literally having over 20 of posts and i did literally nothing. The only thing I posted was a small, very small conversation with daler. A conversation that I literally had to think before writing it, because I had nothing to talk about.

My character is not an instructor, most of the new students don't know her, and if she doesn't do something, they will stay oblivious to her status as an intern.

With that out of the way, just ignore that my character is there and continue the test. If anyone needs me or want to interact with my character tag me. I don't think I'll be doing much for a while so...

I won't be doing much either for a while, to be honest. Maybe she could be Mina's mentor and saw her running off and leaves the CTF to go check on her, or Mako calls her up/goes down there and chats.

Let's see how things will roll. I don't think an instructor would just walk off or ignore the situation. Especially Meilin.
Although I'm very tempted to jut say fuck it and keep silent until someone tags me in a post. Just out of curiosity, to see how many posts it'll need until someone talks to me. The only PC who is speaking with me is Daler. And he is only doing so because I actively searched for it.

You insist the situation is solved by you going away not doing things and I've told you that I'm insisting on this because that was never the point at all. You don't have to be left out, your character can do things. Me and others have given you ways to still do the exact same things you wanted to do. The exact same things you wrote, just in a way that fits what your character can do and leaves room for other people to do their own things in a sensical manner and order.

I don't know how much clearer that can be. Everyone is cool with you doing things and no one's telling you not to post. At most, we're telling you to give others the chance to post when it makes sense for them to do so. You are actively choosing to feel upset about a non-issue here. We're asking you to come out and play, just following the same rules as everyone else, and you're choosing not to.

It's been resolved, post was edited. I think we're all fine now.

Honestly, having all the other characters that aren't playing CTF interact with each other and do their own thing was what I intended for them to do. In fact, that was kinda what I intended the whole RP to be in the first place, just a series of characters interacting of their own accord and creating lots of player driven moments and relationships, with the occasional big event happening every couple pages (though I'm starting to realize that it doesn't seem to be going that way and its looking much more event focused)

Take a look at the IC.
What's the problem about the post now? Cant you just leave it how it is?
I'm not complaining about any rule, I'm not saying anything, just leave me be man! Dammit.

Do you have any problem with me or my character? Can't you just mind your own posts and let mine alone? I fixed it. There ya go. Happy? The please continue your posts and just leave me be...

Additionally, please stop trying to give me moral lessons.

Yes, I'm upset about the situation, but currently I'm more upset about YOU.

If we get any downtime between events, then it'll get a bit more interaction-driven. Slice of Life type interactions are just slightly hard to do when you have a storyline event going on. We'll probably be able to keep forward momentum outside of events if they're spread out every several pages rather than every couple pages, tbh, but if things start slowing down then timeskipping to an event to keep player interest works just fine.

Events are just a little weird since posts get condensed from the space of a few minutes down to a matter of seconds to preserve the speed of combat without godmoding and autoing other players.

And i never said I would drop the RP. I just said that if anyone wanted to interact with my character, just tag me because I would keep silent until the event is over.

I think he just missed your last edit before his last post, to be honest. It happens sometimes.

The source of the drama has been totally resolved already, so @Zero Hex, @13org, I don't think continuing this discussion will do anything but upset people more. Let's keep this thing rolling happily, eh?

It's just because there's an event. Though I got Mina away from it and she's not going back to it. Hopefully somebody else who isn't playing/watching CTF can talk to her, but I think everybody is. After it's over, there won't be many big events. Maybe a few three-four person things.

That's what I'm trying to do for a good while now.
But if I erase my post Zero gives me a sermon. If I edit part of it back he still gives me a sermon. Maybe it would be better for me to send him a PM asking him what should I do now.

Oh cool, yeah, I didn't see the post edit. No warnings for that and all.

@13org
Yes, I'm happy, actually, because the situation was resolved and you get to do things that you wanted to do within one set of posts and it didn't end with you just deleting your post and going away. That wouldn't solve jack shit. No I don't have a problem with you or your character, if I did I would've told you about it and wouldn't have tried to keep you active in the game.

So yes, problem solved, everyone gets to do cool things that they wanted to do in the game without stepping on eachother's toes or overstepping character boundaries. That's gucci.
