Also @Courtaud if one or two of us are on Mai Li detail, what would you hypothetically have planned for the other 3 people to do in the meantime?

Heh heh.

I have my post outlined (pending other players' story input) but I owe a 1x1 writing partner a post before I can write this one. So I'll be another day or two as well

In the hypothetical event that he doesn't come back for an arbitrarily decided period of time----say, ten days of account inactivity in total----I think we're all still excited enough to want to keep going, right? I'd consider someone like Zoey/Yonaka or Wendil/Ikue the best IC fit for temporary boss, provided that they're up to temporary GMhood as well.

Ikue can send you all on missions if it comes to that.

If he still hasn't returned in roughly 4 days, and if everybody's cool with it, I'll gently write Ishida off the rooftop and have him leave someone in charge temporarily.

I've been thinking about it and from Ishida's point of view, the best candidate for a temporary boss is probably Tamura, then followed by Umeko, with Takanashi as a distant third.

My theory: Marada's involvement in the gang is too impersonal for Ishida's tastes; he would worry that she's too willing to turn the other members into sacrificial pawns in the event that she's placed in charge of the big picture. Yonaka is decisive and headstrong, but also too foolhardy for sensible decision-making. Toronaga conversely is a little on the uncertain side, hesitating, often until his back is to the wall, to act. A good thinker, though.

Meanwhile Tamura and Umeko strike the best balance of strategy and decisiveness, strength and cunning, courage and collectedness ...

This is only my speculation, though, and of course OOC willingness to play temporary GM takes precedence.

I would be careful about trying to write for other people's characters especially without permission. It can be a touchy subject for some people. I have seen some not so nice things happen as a result of someone piloting another person's character for them. Even something as simple as that.

Whereas yes I agree that if someone were to be put in charge temporarily it would likely be a more present member of the group we have to tread lightly when it comes down to the thoughts and feelings of other's characters.

The way I see it, Ana left a pretty decent opening for people to volunteer as Mai's back-up just in case, so we could probably play off of the whole first years being jumped thing for a bit and give out GM a chance to come back.

I hope they are okay, they have been MIA for like 6 days now.

While true, they would see the situation when they do come back online. As opposed to possible pages of OOC.

I understand that people do get upset over others controlling their characters without permission, but when the character's lack of action causes a blockage, and we don't know when the character's controller will come back, we do have to consider breaking that particular taboo for the sake of getting the story going.

It's a shitty situation to be in, but I agree with Noble. We can't hope for the perfect outcome until Courtaud logs back in to check his projects, which may or may not happen. (Believe me. :( ) And we can only wait so long before people fall out of the habit of replying to the thread, forgetting their obligation to a collaborative story which, in a certain sense, has forgotten them. (And it does not take much of a posting gap for this to happen.) So until he returns we have two actual, tangible options: godmod for Ishida Minato or let the thread die.

If it seems like I'm taking the act of godmoding too lightly, I suppose it's because I don't want to consider that second option at all. I suppose I'm willing to break decorum because the story has too much potential, and each of you has been too pleasant to write with, for me to give up on the thread so easily.

Of course, I'm praying that Courtaud comes back in the next four or seven or whatever days and makes all this apocalyptic talk look real freakin stupid in retrospect. But right now that's lookin like a miracle scenario.

I'll remember who was conspiring to push me off a roof.

Also hello! I'd been pulled away quite suddenly for some time due to personal reasons but I am back and attentive to our game. I apologize to anyone who felt held back in this way - I've some things at the office I need to get through early this morning but everyone who is still willing to stick around for our game can expect a story driven post today that will move us along in a way to make up for lost time due to my absence.

Do you folks feel it would be beneficial to have a discord?
