@Oliver Then do something about it. People get bored with a scene they change scenes. We have characters all over the place. Ryan and Chloe left the party, so did others. Heck we had one steal stuff and get escorted out. The posts are what you make it. Changing the day isn't going to change your character unless you do it. Heck my last thing for Froggy was asking why he couldn't sleep. I got a few lines. If this is something that is really screwing with the kid, do deeper. Don't just throw a post up as soon as it is your turn, take a few an dig. If you aren't pushing your counter and no one is waiting on you, take a day or two to think it out. Your character as a long detailed character sheet, use that beyond he is sick. He likes drawing, why isn't he constantly sketching things? Likes classical music, why isn't he with Riley looking for music now or earlier in the day? Coming up with riddles? Seeing if anyone has a book he can read? His "sickness" shouldn't be all consuming, you are just making it that way. Ray is missing a leg but he is out there pushing to be with people and interact with more than a few words. Ceil has relations with these people now, you can easily work with that. There is plenty he can do, the day isn't going to change that. Only you are.

And Caits is right. We might have Rped 2 days out since you joined but it has been 8 months in RP. That time jump was there for character development, to let people heal and get better, to move things forward. All days are this slow in RP, some even more so. Larger the group, the more characters, the more time it takes to get through a day. That is one reason collabs are encouraged. (And why I have rules in place to make sure they don't hold things up) - Collabing allows people to go back and forth much quicker, if Sigil and I had kept ours posts to just separate, it would have been a lot more posts and would hold up the RP getting through things. When people are 1 on 1 talking in a collab you move at a more realistic pace as far as RP time goes. The Rpers here are damn good, and pretty laid back even if it is a high casual/advanced RP. They are open to most anything.

As far as age goes, that has nothing to do with anything in my mind. I treat each Rper the same no matter the age. And you are hardly the youngest I have dealt with in RP, even on this forum. Part of Rp is learning and growing and frankly I usually prefer them younger because then they are more open to learning. (Not only that but their comprehension goes up a lot faster.)

With length I only laugh. I don't even see these are long posts, but that is me. These are medium length to me. This RP is labeled as High Casual to Advanced. Should see some of the stuff that has been posted. Char and I have done collabs for other Rp's that were 90k in characters long. I have NRP posts that maxed out the characters allowed during a post. Many of which are linked on my profile page which you have been on numerous times. If I am under 60k, it's a medium post. If it is under 6k, it is short. That's me, how I write. Whether someone posts 100 words or 10,000 we read it. Yeah, it may take you some time but up that time factor by at least 10 and then you will know how long it took them to actually put it together. So the reading of it is simply nothing in the grand scheme.

As far as what you were or were not expecting when you joined, I have to call bull. This RP had been running some time before you joined. The original OOC post laid things out in detail, the CS is a monster compared to most, and there were tons of post up when you joined (Many Collabs already in the RP that were plenty long) - So for this to be an issue now, I don't buy it other than you had chip on your should about something and decided to take it out here.

Again, the day might change but nothing for your character will unless you change it yourself.

O.o

Jeez I'm proud of myself if I get a post 4k and above! That being said I only joined my first full advanced RP half way through last year and i stumbled on that, i didn't even know it was advanced until the very first post. I am slowly making longer posts, and have a few times reached 10k characters!

@Caits Length and speed just come with experience is all. Been at this for a long time, so for me it is pretty easy to hammer something out that most would consider a long post. Especially if I am collabing and really enjoying myself. Most of my time spent Rping is Gming, that is a lot of technical stuff to keep up with, especially with how indept things get and how much every one of my Rp's cross over and affect the others. So when I get a chance to collab with someone and I am really enjoying myself I get to get all that pent up creativity out. It's damn cathartic; some freaking posts I am rendered to tears by the time I am done typing just because I finally got to get it all out lol

Oh yeah collab sits easy to get characters up there. And I've definetly noticed a better type of posting since accidentally joining thenadvanced one, but sometimes, particularly lately, with uni my kind is just like...oh 2000 characters? That's fine! Thats a decent post! You addressed everything I need to flesh it out a bit more" and I find my finger hitting submit.

I swear to god, sometimes I think uni loves to torture us, I have three hard tests next week and the last four weeks has been trying to understand all the material!

But yeah I enjoy the chance to develop my skills, and I do hope to get better as things go by. I just need to catch up on posts for just about everything, and then I can make my posts better!

@Caits Being the Rper you don't normally see the advancements you make until much much later but to others, it is pretty obvious. Your posting quality has improved a lot since you joined this RP from what I have seen. You're delving deeper into your characters mind and touching on more than just what is on the surface. Even with Uni going on, you've got this.

I'm just gonna drop in my two cents on here as well.

It is up to the player to develop their character(s) not the GM's or other player's, right now Ciel like Lady A has said been sick. He has had 8 months to get better, Ray lost his damn leg yet he isn't in bed groaning and moaning his days away in pain sure he has phantom pains like I had written for Sophia (missing the fuck out of her still btw). I had given you suggestions like a flashback post for him in the early days of the outbreak or pre-outbreak but that wasn't taken I did suggest more inner monologue but that was probably a bad suggestion on my part.

So now onto the paragraphs for the collab, they are meant to be long as fuck to read, sure the writers get a little carried away but that is the fun part about writing them. And it is an easier way to develop relationships with other characters, and also to further build onto them as well. Like Morose and I have decided to work out a collab between Riley and Chloe, as kids around Ciel's age pretty much. Does it deal with the present much? Not really it is there to further add more to their backstory and their past.

I don't bring my own personal issues, but I myself have a learning disability believe it or not and some reading comprehension issues, which is a reason why I go and reread posts every now and then. And when I'm writing up a post I will reread just about everything once more before the last update. By not reading everything you are screwing yourself over and possibly others if you miss an interaction with another PC. I fucked myself over with Maria's death by not reading, but I go back and have learned from that mistake and also laugh it off whenever its mention or brought up and I still get embarrassed by it but I have learned from the mistake. And being in this RP and other Lady A's RPs and joining the guild has helped considerably.

Now as for having not enough time reading a full length collab, i'm gonna call bull and tough shit. I'm working six days a week (today being my only day off). Morose has finals week and is in uni and running her own RP, Sigil works his ass off at his job, Lady A running several other RPs on her own and has her family to take care of, Caits and Riv also in uni also pretty busy. RP's I get RL always takes number one priority over writing up posts it always will be. But we all as writers have set times from our busy RL schedules to escape and write here for fun. Lady A grants extensions whenever you truly do need this. You have the most freedom out of all of us, but then again I got no clue what goes on in your personal life.

You had to leave for a week or something awhile back Lady A moved Ciel and Froggy off screen out of respect and shelve your characters there for now until you decided to come back. You came back Lady A has been working with you the last few posts since you came back. But its getting stagnant for you because Ciel is still being to sick, you as a writer have to flesh that out more. I call it the 'antisocial character bubble' to get him out of that it is all up to you, not us or Lady A to. I have had Meg interact with Ciel up until the point where Thana came into the picture all I got was barely anything from Ciel. Only suggestion, its okay to break slightly from character to have him interact with someone else as long as it doesn't change his personality or anything. If you want Ciel to be an antisocial outcast then that is on you, and he will be treated as such.

Anyway bitch rant mode off now, washing my hands off of this. Sorry but not sorry

@FantasyChic @Nallore Just remember you both have to post in the RP individually again before you start a collab - you're day five counters kicked in yesterday for at least 1 of you and you are not allowed to start a collab after day 5 of either counter. (That means the characters in the Rp must have a post up individually before a collab will be accepted since you are over the start time for a collab counter)

@Morose @Rivaan @Sigil @FantasyChic @Caits @Nallore @Oliver

Okay quick note so there isn't any confusion - You have to notify me if you are going to start a collab so I can check counters. Remember once you hit day 5 for your character it is too late to begin a collab. If I am not notified so I can check for counters, the collab will not be accepted. This is to ensure that people don't start collabs after their counter time begins and so I can keep track if any issues arise if someone ends up dropping mid collab.

As of now, no one has notified me here personally about a collab other than the one I am currently working on with Sigil.

@Lady Amalthea Nal and I started a flashback collab a day ago (to middle school Chloe and Riley) to be used later on in the RP (so not for this next post, likely not for the next one either). We were thinking about using it for a timeskip as a point of contrast with another yet to be done collab.

@Nallore Need an edit, Mike has not brought the cake out yet...

Mike would be wheeling the cake out soon and the dancing would start. Tatiana had one more surprise up her wedding sleeve but that could wait.


So, yeah, hasn't brought it out yet.
