[quote=@Jotunn Draugr] If I wanted to just write a solo story, I wouldn't be here. I'd be writing a book. Surely, the entire purpose behind group roleplay is that people work together. [/quote] I think you misunderstand I mean, collab posts are when more than one person write a single post that covers a lot of ground. The way I see it is exactly the same as back to back posting among a small group, and when I have seen it done it leaves people behind, and then they drop out. Obviously if we aren't writing posts that interact with others then you might as well be writing a story yourself Playing post by post and allowing other people to join in and out of situations as they choose is the how I think it should be played. And I massively disagree with language like "shoehorn", nobody could join in with you guys right now of they wanted to? Number of stories completed isn't the goal in my opinion, all of us writing something together is the objective. [hr] [quote=@The Kid Lantern] [@ColouredCyan] Kinda caught me off guard with the whole 'being a card carrying member of STRIKE' right out of the gate. Gotta warn somebody before you go and change a scene. One of the rules actually... 4.) Get permission before using another player's character in your posts if it involves changing the scene or making actions. ..when I mentioned kinda leaving you an opening, I'd meant the plant person in the woods people claimed seeing on the news was likely you. I was under the impression Venus fell to Earth rather recently. Making the creature on the news a separate character is fine in a city of 15,000 superhumans, but I was gonna continue building up STRIKE as well as their superteam that'll be tasked with taking down Liberty Son/Darkstar. Now it's like your alien has higher clearance than my boy who's been with STRIKE for a little while now. ~KL~ [/quote] I wrote a bio in which I mentioned that she arrived 3 years ago and she initially looked monstrous and inhuman, what you described was not my character. If you wanted to write in my character like that you should have read my CS more carefully. Also, see the bottom of the fourth paragraph. [quote=@Coloured Cyan]If they were doing necessary training comms would be off and you still have to wait, but it was still faster than using the electronic systems. [/quote] If you aren't interested in fighting the Sea Monster with Roland, you didn't hear what Imbricata ordered (she's an ass and does so without authority) into the comms. Both you and Stern have been notified that my character exists and that she's going to the beach and both methods give you and Stern the choice whether to respond at all and if you choose to, you still have room to respond how you see fit. I haven't moved your character, or my character, from the War-Room area. Its pretty odd to be lectured about doing things with your character in the same post you're trying to persuade me to change my character, especially when I went to good lengths to leave my post open. [hr] [quote=@Mr_pink] [@Jotunn Draugr] Speaking of working together, do you want to do a collab for the fight? [/quote] And here in lies my collab argument, I want in this fight, I've even expressed interest and if you collab it all tonight with Jotunn, what I can I do? I'm about to go to bed and have no more time to write tonight. Goodnight.
