@Shoryu Magami

First off, while it can't be helped that IC collab posts can get rather long, just make sure every word is relevant to the plot and character development, and also without dragging down the pace unnecessarily. However, do understand that I seriously need TL;DR for OOC because I don't have so much time to go through long discussions back and forth between every single member here (there are like at least 10 of us here), when all I need is the final conclusion and move on.

Like I said, I have a job, I have other RPs to work on, I have other projects to do for my portfolio, I have a RL to live with my own family and friends - plus I need the basic necessities of food, rest and sleep too, lols. There's only so much time I have each day, so I'd appreciate everyone to get straight to main point and cut me all the long explanations (I'm not stupid, yo - English may not my native tongue, but that doesn't mean I need an explanation for every little thing >_< I'll ask the specific questions if there's something I don't understand), which can help to maximize the little time I have to get as much work done as possible efficiently.

TL;DR exists not because of advanced roleplaying. For my case, it exists to keep my sanity with my busy life. Please understand.

Regarding collab, I can work on it anytime (read: as and when I'm free/when I'm not busy with work), but there's nothing I can do until @Pudding writes something. She hasn't replied to my DM on Discord either, so I assume she's still busy with uni.

Tomorrow - or rather, today, since it's already past midnight - is my final paper. Then I'm free...

Or so you think.

I do have holiday jobs (to save up money for my next semester), but it's mostly freelance work - I'm officially writing for a living, yes - so multitasking while RPing shouldn't be much of a problem. Hopefully. When I'm not catching up with my 1x1s, that is.

And then get the collab done and over with already. Seriously, 1-month worth of delay and 24 pages on Gdoc is just waaaaaaay too long. And we're still not finished with it yet!

Anyway.

Regarding voting system, I'm mostly indifferent as long as it can fit the context of the IC development and stuff. Just don't try to pull retarded stunts to settle personal grudges and keep the drama strictly in IC only, and I guess we can all be dandy. Though, personally I'm still more inclined to the classic deduction style of mystery-solving in fictions than voting, yeah.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

Ironically, Hemingway had a very sparse style of prose. He is honestly one of the reasons I try to chop it down to the essentials. I am always trying to fix run-on sentences and other embellishments. It's a never-ending thing.

@HeySeuss

I look up to Hemingway when it comes to minimalism without losing quality also. That's what I call writing with class. :P

Professionally, when writing e-mails, I do that because I'm trying to keep them as short as possible. People get too many e-mails and have a very 'tl;dr' mentality as a result. Typically, five lines is the golden mean.

@HeySeuss

Yeah, especially with how people are being fed with info overload 24/7, there's barely anyone who would spend too much time reading pages of thesis-like writing when that can be summarized in a few well-chosen words. Like, I have school, so I can't possibly neglect my studies to read long-winded writings - that's unproductive to my learning.

(I'm still having some trouble to keep my rambles short, but peeps who have talked to me know I've been trying my best.)

Regarding post length, I'd say I'm flexible with it as long as it's not a one-liner without any proper context for the next person to respond to. (Not everyone is Hemingway, yeah.)

I'm still trying out different styles and ways to see which one works best for me or for the specific genres I'm writing for, but the general gist is: as much as I'm capable of vomiting out paragraphs after paragraphs of purple prose, personally I'd want to keep that as minimal as possible (or none at all). This is a writing and storytelling forum, not a thesis forum.

Especially in an action scene, get to the point to keep the plot moving. Nobody cares for pages worth of internal monologue that none of the other characters can see or react to. Like, it's an action scene, not some self-absorbed flashback shenanigans.

@Shoryu Magami

Guess I misunderstood the question, or it wasn't clear for me. ^^; Anyway, English name for hider. The romanji can just be in the name section, since technically everyone will call him by his English name and not the transliteration, lols. That's why I wrote it that way in the quote in my previous message - the main name should be the hider's name, yeah.

The reason why I'm giving a heads up is in the case where someone needs me to be online at the same time to work out the kinks of the collab, which I'm saying it now that I cannot. This will result in longer delays from me because I won't be able to respond asap.

𝕲𝖗𝖎𝖒 𝕽𝖊𝖆𝖕𝖊𝖗'𝖘 𝕲𝖆𝖒𝖇𝖎𝖙

So, basically you're thinking @Indra makes his hider as 'Daniel Shichimori', and then puts what you suggested as the real name?

@Shoryu Magami

No. Both "Daniel Shichimori" and "Shichimori Danieru" are his real name, but one is the actual English spelling, the other is merely a romanji transliteration of his Japanese name (which, I can't show you what exactly I mean because I do not know which exact characters he's using for the surname, but "Danieru" is written as ダニエル in katakana).

I can use the chat and even the comment functions to leave notes each time I add my parts, just don't expect me to be online at the same time as the rest of you. Partly due to the browser problem I've already mentioned, partly due to timezone (for those in regions outside of Asia/Austrialia), and partly because I am prioritizing school and RL over all online activities for this entire month.

@Indra@Shoryu Magami

Yeah Shoryu did mention about your CS to me over Discord DM. While I was a teeny weeny bit concerned with the public similarities, I assume that our private sheets are different as night and day... and it's also ultimately the GM's call.

And yeah, hi to a fellow comrade from the same little island country. :P
(I wonder what he's been saying about me to you. Prolly how I always cringe when someone asks me if Singapore is a state of China, lols. Or I'm just a snarky lil' shiet, heh.)

Regarding the name, "Danieru" is a Japanese transliteration of the English name "Daniel", so personally I'd suggest that the transliteration should be kept separate for clarity and avoid confusion. For example:

Daniel Shichimori <-- This is how his name should be spelled in English
(Shichimori Danieru) <-- This is the romaji spelling of his Japanese name

As for collab, if the majority goes with Google Docs, sure, but do take note that I will not join the collab unless there's no one online at the moment when it's my turn due to a haunted problem with my browser - it will crash when there are more than 2 people on the doc at the same time.

@Carantathraiel Sounds tough, but glad to know you have fun.

Once I'm through college I need to start making munnieh too. Just need to decide if I want to go down the graphics or programming route.

Miss ya.

Been so busy with school I'm losing track of a lot of things. D: Not to mention Chinese New Year's around the corner.

How're you?
