[@Flamelord][@TheWindel]​ [@The 42nd Gecko]

After finding my efforts to remain distant proved fruitless, it's time to step in with an assessment of the present situation before us. Take this with the calm, neutral air that I dictate it with;

[@Flamelord], I do apologize for unjustly leveling all fault upon for not posting. This was not a matter of your inactivity, and for that I was wrong to accuse you of. However, neither you nor Windel are free of fault in this matter. While Windel choice to post for all of his characters in one large post may have hamstrung you, there is no reason beyond a lack of initiative that you could not have approached him and simply asked for Windel to post for Stark. By his account you have not discussed this in any PM and I have no recollection of any raised hands in the OOC. To be frank, if at any point you had suggested a collab with Windel, Alex could have wrapped up his affairs with Stark and been free to move on to his heist in the course of an afternoon, two months ago. 

[@TheWindel], while I do believe that Flame should have raised his concerns with you, we both know for a fact that your long history with Flamelord should have been basis enough to understand he would require prodding to suss out any concerns left unspoken. You have 1x1 RPs that operate with lightning speed so by all accounts you could do the same in Shattering with Alex's story line now that it is running parallel to every other grouping of RPers. None of us have any right to question the decision to post your characters all at once; It's convenient and orderly while maintaining a good post order, but as people are shifting into their own time frames for posting it would be best for Shattering if you would consider posting for characters as soon as conveniently available rather then when ​all​ characters are available to reply.

As in most cases, a lack of communication bedevils us, and only dialogue can amend the issues at hand.

[@The 42nd Gecko]. To be frank and forthwith, having a character capable of turning into literal light is infinitely more threatening then anything magical. That would carry the implication that Meihou could ​move​ at the speed of light, which would make her rather impossible to capture, combat, or evade in any reasonable scenario. For the sake of all the GMs sanity, please refrain from having Meihou assume a form that is pure energy. Become a rock, a harpy, a fire breathing dragon, but once you assume a form that for all intents and purposes should scatter you across the atmosphere in a fraction of an instant, things get sketchy, scientific or otherwise. 

I'd rather not continue that line of discussion, as it leads to madness on both sides and I lack the scientific aptitude of [@KoL] to keep up for long. The general consensus is that we don't want to have to force a defined set of guidelines on a broad power like Meihou's, but when the borders of reason are pushed, they will snap back unless softened with sufficient reason, cause, and rational discourse. It just so happens that you appear to have a predilection for leaps of logic not readily acceptable for other parties.

Regardless, Gecko, since it is apparent that you wish to join Alex's heist plotline and Flamelord is welcoming your company, it behooves me to suggest that the both of you consult with Windel and KoL on doing a collaborative post to find an outcome satisfactory to all. Assuming this is achieved, then I would recommend that you post at your own speed for the characters involved, which would require the other GMs to agree for a pardon from the post limits if you were so inclined to post multiple times a day to make up for lost time and get the heist into full gear.

Is this satisfactory to all parties?
