I missed an opportunity i had no chance to change because i was sleeping? Hows this my fault? Its not. I was sleeping after a terrible day, eager to reply to the posts tomorrow only to find everyone practically just jumped on ahead and are done with it. Quite frankly its a Quit-Trigger for me when players wont wait for other players to post. Its like other people have LIVES off the internet of something, terrible lives, but lives none the less

@The_written_John

Don't get me wrong, I'm not faulting you for this, but you have to understand that not everybody can wait for everybody else. That's how good RPs die. Even a wait of twelve hours while all the other players are hyped and raring to go can result in sapped motivations! Can you find it in your heart to forgive three players who were too interested to wait until nightfall to continue the scene they're enjoying?

This exact situation has cropped up several times in the RP before. As a matter of fact, my character's very first interaction very nearly died because we were waiting for a character that took three days to bring out a post. First one player quit entirely, then another decided to lash out in boredom or something, then another flat-out disappeared off the face of the site, and eventually the other players simply stopped using their characters they built for this scene! Eventually, it was just me!

To be honest, I don't see the issue with a majority of players forcing the scene along in spite of the one or two players who haven't posted yet. It may be rude, yes, but it's not a faux pas worth anything but a light ribbing, and it's very easy to recover from.

Don't take me wrong, I don't intend to imply that you're a player like the ones that abandoned me in my first scene, but I can definitely see where the people who've moved the scene along past you are coming from. I guess the only advice I have for you is "Relax and get over it." Things will work themselves out if you just persevere!

I got attacked, apparently was almost gnawed on, and wasnt allowed to even retaliate before they continued. Is that fair?

@The_written_John

So, because that attack did nothing to affect you beyond potentially allowing you to react and you missed an opportunity to show your character off, you've reacted this way and are now considering quitting the RP? Heck, the same thing happened to @Belwicket and they're taking it very well!

It's definitely annoying that some players moved the scene along without you (lord knows I've experienced that before, one RP I joined was literally nuked in my single-day absence!), but it's not "burst out in the OOC and quit the RP you just joined" annoying!

I said half a day to a day at most, not days on end.... Forget it, look, im sorry it was so rude of me to desire people to be patient. Im the bad one for putting my sick father, my payments, my own entertainment to battle my depression before an rp, im sorry i dont deserve that 12 hours over an rp, i truely am.

Il leave the roleplay, seeing as how im so rude and unjust for puting was matters to me such as my dad ahead of the roleplay... My apologies, continue your rp people, il be going, just ignore, just pretnd that i was ever in the rp!

@The_written_John

It's quite alright to take time off to cope with depression and personal issues, especially since you can come back right now and not suffer any ill effects. What, exactly, is stopping Jotaro from coming back to the RP? The wendigoes are gone! People are happily interacting with one another! There's a prime spot for character interaction between Shivani, Dante, Donte, and Jotaro right here, and you're not taking advantage of it because you're too busy worrying about how you might have missed a prime spot for character interaction!

The timezone doesnt matter.

Im just inredibly busy and need to sleep a fuck ton. I go to sleep, wake up to find the whole rp in icemoon moved on without me even getting to say a single thing. Why bother? Why bother rping if people wont even wait?

If players will not let other players have a chance to post because they're extremely impatient and dont have anything to do, why should i bother with the rp? It seems pointless if nobody will even wait HALF A DAY, for a post!

@The_written_John

There's quite a number of players who don't post for days in this RP. To be honest, you don't have to be there to match everyone post-for-post, the RP is capable of moving your character's group around without outright dumping your character down a hole.

For the most part, characters played by largely-absent players will be ignored and "interacted with" in a broad-strokes manner. If the group they're with flees, they flee along with them. If the group they're with goes to have a party, they'll go along.

You can rest easy knowing that nobody here will kick your character while they're down and out. You can happily take a break and come back in whenever you want!

There's no reason to react so harshly to a single person being rude! Don't spoil your enjoyment with this RP!

I mean, is Shivani a particularly cruel person? Because I'm a bit confused as to why she decided to execute an incapacitated foe in cold blood and attempt to kill a bunch of scared fleeing animals.

@Xenonia

She's an RPG protagonist, they're required to commit war crimes in the name of coin and cleavage. The only reason the Avatar didn't constantly steal from houses or butcher noncombatants and surrendering foes was because he was the physical embodiment of virtue.

Julius Aldo, Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Radio Room

Julius stepped through the portal, leaving the Space Bar behind. Strutting confidently, he moved Sindibad out of the way, and grinned widely.
"Still on the lookout for mooks? I got a plan."

Julius changed the frequency on the radio. It was to a frequency they had previously visited, one belonging to Hecuba, the irritable necromancer mistress.

Within a few seconds, a sultry female voice answered, venom tipping her tone.
"You! What nerve you have, to act so rudely to me! I shall have your--"

Julius was quick to interrupt her, speaking infuriatingly nonchalantly.
"Whatever, honey. Hey, guess what? I found the Eye of the Serpent! It's ours now! How about we have a competition? If your army can conquer mine, I'll grant you the unlimited power of the Eye. If not, I will seize control of all your land, and butcher you like the hog you are!"

There was a sort of animal noise on the other end of the radio. Evidently, Julius had struck a nerve.

"I WILL BURN YOUR FARMS AND ENSLAVE YOUR CHILDREN! YOU WILL KNOW TO FEAR THE NAME H--"

"Ayy, that's the spirit! My dimensional coordinates are..." Julius explained in full detail how to reach Nox through magical means. Though it was unlikely that Hecuba's teleporter system worked like the Kurokages', it was close enough to not need much translation. "See you there, piggy! My army will be waiting!"

Julius flipped the receiver off, and laughed heartily. After a moment's consideration, he switched to Shocker+'s encrypted frequency, and spoke into it.

"Attention all units on Nox. We've got a change of plans. We're bringing in only one army. Cancel your preparations and get to work on the other jobs! Payment will be offered at the end of the conflict!"

Shazay Jordan, Forest, Nox

Shazay's hand-held radio crackled into life, and played Julius's message. Listening intently, Shazay very nearly slammed the radio to the ground. Grimacing loudly, he called out to George Melons and Frederick Selous.

"Ay, you two! We don't need more'n one salt circle. Job's been postponed! You boys are gonna need to come with me if you want any payment. We got a new mission.""

Shazay bent over and planted his teleporter on the ground. Once again, he punched in a set of coordinates and pressed a jolly, candylike button. Once again, a portal to another world opened up.

Through the portal, one could clearly see green grass and well-moistened sand. Further off in the horizon was nothing but blasted wasteland and dust devils. This was Athas.

"Hope you boys like shootin' things, 'cuz that's the only way you're gonna get to go to the afterparty!"

Hi-Hat, Castle Tepes, Nox

"We're well aware of the impending theft of your master's priceless jewels. That's why we're here! As we speak, we're setting up a complimentary Rudimentary Mook Defense system in the areas outside of your home. What we're doing will be completely pro bono, though we do offer special package deals for nominal fees in capital and currency."

Xiangshi pulled out a small holographic projector. On it, the word "PRESENTATION" was printed.
"If you like, we can give you a brief rundown of our extensive home defence catalogue! Hiring the support of the local government is alright, but a permanent solution is necessary for anyone living on their own like this!"

Massive Multiversal Crossover: Interest Check and Signups

I'm not quite sure you get the gist of what this multiverse RP is about. It's not about the titans of a setting coming together and having a great big punch-up. Sure, a lot of people are doing just that, but bringing in Kotomine Shirou is ludicrous!

Massive Multiversal Crossover: Interest Check and Signups

That makes sense. If you're friendly with and constantly interact with someone, of course you're going to trust them more and give them more leeway.

Here's hoping Ilya makes for good roleplay, then!

Massive Multiversal Crossover: Interest Check and Signups

That's true, I suppose. I'll lay off, then. This all just seems rather suspiciously like GM favoritism.
