No monologue/ thinking
That will be taking some getting used too haha
Ok i shall edit it again and keep this in mind

@Drake Baku

Yeah, it's pretty different, but it works for us =). Thanks for taking care of that!

You know its a nice surprise finding an rp like this on this forum and not noticing any, to put it nicely, "unfriendly" remarks

I remember few years ago how i planned something similar taking the rp style from the one i started with more then 16 years ago.
Got no interests and only insults

So yeah a different style, a more old school like system like this having started up and active for a long time really is a nice surprise ^^
And having no monologue is as far as i know unique for a forum system so it is very interesting and adds a bit of realistic challenge as well
Nice^^

(Edit: i am on my phone so please excuse any typos i may have missed as that i have no spelling check's either on this thing)

@Drake Baku

I hate to hear that they were unkind about it; some people have hard preferences and push back against stuff they're not used to. We started up on a non-RP site years ago, so this style really lent itself best to where we were. And because we really like that it focuses on interaction instead of description, we kept it.

Ah, nice.

That was a misunderstanding from my part on the writing style rules
It stated clearly about cursive talking and actions between *
But i dont remember having seen anything about monologue/ thinking in the 2 times i read the rules
As such when i began writing i thought i had to put it between ** as well to show it is not talking (while having forgotten to use cursive) haha
Sorry i shall fix it, i assume it should be without any indications?
Asking to be sure, i will change it now but if i mess up again i can change it again haha)

@Drake Baku

How it works is that there isn't thinking—none of us knows what each character really thinks about the situation. The action symbols indicate that an observable action is taking place, like *Jumps into the air*. Anything that isn't in action symbols is assumed to be spoken aloud, unless modified by them somehow, like *Mumbles*.

No. It's a laptop. And this is a fractal program. It's CPU intensive not GPU intensive.

@ZAVAZggg

Seems like you could parallelize fractal generation, since a lot of fractal formulas are independent math problems, aren't they?

Myriad Reality

14 hours into the fractal render.

@ZAVAZggg

Is there no GPU acceleration?

Myriad Reality

@Drake Baku

I'm confused. Is there a reason the monologue is between action symbols?
