My problem isn't people falling behind. My problem is people jumping ahead.

(akaya I"m not picking on you, this is just the first example I found)

Nova ended up staying around and hanging out with the trio she had met that day, really enjoying their company even when she wasn't talking much.[/quote]

That's one person from a group jumping forward in time by six hours and saying what happened with that character with said group for said six hours. I don't know whether [@OneWayOut] intended us to jump to the ball or not, I'm not judging based on that, what I dislike is that some people decided to immediately jump to it while others stayed back in time. If we're going to have unified time, everyone existing at their own rate when it comes to GM organized events will only lead to chaos.

I'd much prefer people realigning to the main time flow if they fall behind with a short wrap up/flashback than have people jumping ahead of the universe proper. As it stands, having everyone on a supposedly universal time scale but at drastically different hours just breeds confusion and hurts even my Doctor Who logic.

This isn't because I'm lagging, fyi. If I'm totally on the wrong time scale I can wrap stuff up and jump, I just have no idea what the right time scale is.
