[quote=@FaithsRose] I'd imagine everyone is still running on the laid back vibe of the 'first' meeting in the tavern the night before. There has been no indication that everyone should suddenly be running around like headless chickens [i]or[/i] that there is suddenly a big old rush to run off and defeat Marcus. There is actually no mention within the IC of time being of the essence at this moment, and (please no offence DP mean nothing by it!) the story [b]cannot[/b] progress without Vicki moving it along :S Not to mention the fact that half the cast aren't even at the current tavern meeting <.< If you're complaining about the current interactions happening within the IC I'm rather of the opinion that you're being a tad unreasonable my friend. Without the current interactions the last post would have been around 22 days ago, quite a long time to be without a post. And the argument over the sword [i]is[/i] understandable, look at it as giving you as a reader/fellow RPer an insight into the characters arguing over it, for the exact reason you've pointed out. The fact they are arguing about it now rather than later says something about them as characters, doesn't make them uneducated beings, though I'd say at this moment it may indicate that they're not yet fully focusing on the bigger picture (No offence to Heartless or Raijin!) However if you have read through the posts surely you've seen that both of those characters have stated a reason for their behaviour :S They're already developing as characters and showing their true colors even if the way the interaction goes doesn't exactly fit into the main story at the moment, its still all relevant. Besides spanners being thrown into the GM's and co-GM's work is a huge part of RPing <.< Especially in group RP's, at the end of the day everyone is ultimately unpredictable when they write.(< Which is what makes group RP so appealing...don't you think?) I'm sure once Heartless has posted a response and Vicki's jumped in to kick the trouble makers asses xD (Which I am so looking forward to reading by the way :P) Things will start going in the direction of the main storyline. So lets just be chill about it...? ^^' Also the reason I didn't say I had a post ready before was because I'd been really ill so...yeah <.< No idea who you are but I'ma disagree with you on that <.< Would say its more of a RPG scenario where the big bad has destroyed everything because you weren't powerful enough to stop him yet so you got to go run around and do stuff before being able to face him. And sometimes you stop off at places for a length of time and character interaction happens so that you grow attached to the cast/party travelling with you. As for what exactly is happening, because the story has yet to move on people are entertaining themselves through interactions...pretty normal stuff if you ask me :S ...I'm feeling this may be too opinionated but I'm posting it anyway <.< If I've got the wrong end of the stick I'll be happy to apologise and review what I've said >.> [/quote] -pokes chukklehed- I think I forgot to tell Faith about my newfound joy in satire. lol Er Anyway, I wasn't being serious at all when I posted that. (Note: I gained some sort of twisted sense of humor for satire while you were gone) Hence, there's the Marcus + Lamborghini joke and the "hur dur" image of Athalia's members, which I somehow constructed in the Etherpad at one point. I'll clear a misunderstanding, though. I will admit that while the character development is being done and somewhat appreciated (even if it's a bit sudden/abrupt/etc), it's obviously not something that would seem logical to everyone. I'm, however, open to these kinds of developments because I want to see how other people handle character development so that I can eventually provide to them an even more satisfying performance through my characters' interactions with theirs. On another note, I made a new CS. I'm reviewing it for the sake of reviewing things.
