@Angel, yes, I know what Magic: The Gathering is. That is where I got the name/word from.

I have been thinking about something for my future plays and possibly this one. It might be asking a lot from people on a roleplaying forum, but I have found that irregular posting agitates me, so my idea was to have personal posting schedules for everyone, consistent posting. You set your own schedule, but you stick to it no matter what. You would have to, of course, take into account unforeseen circumstances in life, so realistic schedules would range from weekly to bi-weekly, and so on.

The idea here is that you know, without doubt, that there will always be a post from Rockette, Ex, JJ, or whoever, at whatever time they set for themselves. The length of their posts does not matter, only that they are consistent. I do not know about you guys, but I tend to work better when there is a deadline, because you cannot procrastinate, blame ‘writer’s block’, or whatever else. There will be bad posts and there will be good posts, short and long, but that is fine.

However, I have yet to think about which that is better: to limit posting to once in your schedule or any number of posts you can muster. The former adds consistency, but prevents you from posting during periods in which you have a lot of spare time. The latter removes consistency, as the number of posts you conjure in your schedule will fluctuate, even if one post is guaranteed.

I would rather know that there will be a post from each person within some designated timeframe, no matter what the length of it, than sit around and wait for someone’s masterpiece or something that might not come at all.

Anyway, thoughts on this?
