I have come to realize an issue. Presently, my character would be heading home after fixing up her datapad and waiting for word from Dyno. However, if she is to go to the pit, that would require a significant timeskip for her. But, it still needs to sync up with what everyone else is doing. In a sandbox style like this, how do we go about addressing the fact that everyone is going to be doing different things that take different amounts of time, but we still need to be able to sync up that time? Preferably without requiring that people spend long amounts of time unable to do anything.


I say we typically do the traditional sandbox thing and... not worry about it.

It only ever really becomes an issue for example if someone where to say, cause a major explosion. If people were then to all mention said explosion in their post it kind of... locks them in place. I mean it is up to @Heat but I say we go with the traditional fluid method where it works "Just cause". Sounds like a real cheat I know but a lot of people don't mind as long as when you meet you're at the same time of day, so to speak.

@EliteCommander

I should point out that it was never my intention for Dyno to show up at The Pit as Mar is doing what he's doing right now. I had intended for him to appear later. Like tomorrow (in-universe).

In other words, 'syncing up' with what everyone else is doing is not an issue. :D (:V)
At least, not now.

Well, since only a few of the post currently have synchronized or set times, I think we can bend time a little, your timeline so far is mixed up with mine and Dyno's, so just do things in correspondence with us?

That would get old :P Part of the fun of Sandboxes is interacting with lots of different people.

Also I have an idea for a third and final character. Though I need to do some work on it before I throw up a sheet.

Spoken like a true imperial, you are the very definition of an upstanding citizen. I'll be sure to not spread that around this place, we all know how much everyone loves the empire down here

Yes because the guy who is harboring someone on the Emporers naughty list is an upstanding citizen.

As if no-one here has been betrayed by the Empire. 9/10 people down here would promise safety only to sell them out later. They'd also sleep fine afterwards (and comfy)

I got a lot on my plate right now, having to help out a friend (OFC everything dramatic would happen to her the week BEFORE I go down not the week I am there to help out in person). I'll still get a post up by Sunday.

Anyone who is having trouble coming up with an IC post, don't be afraid to message me (or another player) to get a plot going or something. I love that kind of thing.
