Can you all stop typing for just one minute? I can't try and defend myself against three different people and a subtle mob of thumbs-uppers all at once. Anyone who thinks we are or have ever been moving at breakneck speed is a buffoon. Happy one year anniversary folks--we've made it two weeks into the IC. RWBY has maybe ten main characters and two guys calling the shots, while here we have twenty-eight in both categories. We have a cast of main characters with different actions and personalities (I know you know this, so I realize I'm not being too helpful by reiterating). It's impossible to give all equal attention and utterly implausible to give some all the attention and none to others. Not everyone has the tools to fill time with meaningful development and interaction. is that fair to those who do? I know it isn't. For your information, Brewing Storm could be finished pretty darn soon if everyone posted for it. We could all make our developments happen and never get bored if life allowed us to post even a single paragraph once a day, but that's not the case. Criticism here, criticism there. Neither this or that is the right way to deal with things. I've never been a good GM and never will be, just interested in good times and good storytelling. You all want this to work better? Stop saying what I'm doing wrong for a moment and start making suggestions on what I can do right!
