"Hm...? 'My' features...?", he was surprised she would do such a thing, but it was related to him, so he just had to see. As she handed the drawings to him, he began to look and shuffle through them. He went silent for awhile, looking at the meticulous detail. He was an artist himself, but he never really thought about clothes in this manner and depth, so it impressed him.

"These look pretty cool", he finally said.

"But... What are they? Costumes? Fashion design?", he would assume costumes... But then some of these seemed normal and stylish, but others looked suitable to be in a video game or anime. He waited for the girl to answer his question as he shuffled through them again. He realized he should probably order something soon, but he'd decided on his order already. Probably the Zaku Cake with a ramune or something.

Probably not until I play Varius more, where I will likely reference Vergil any chance I get.

That's not it. I miss out on those developments BECAUSE they're not organized. It's not like its neatly in a row so I can't simply read one post, then easily go to the next, so it takes me awhile to organize the different events in my head. As a result, its tiring and I'm suddenly not having any fun. If I know what posts may be relevant to each other with just a label, it'd make things go by a lot more quickly, and I can just simply look for the next post in that location to read.

Have you ever tried to read pages of a novel, and for some reason there are pages of another novel in it at random page numbers? Lets also top it off with that each random page that appears, is not labeled so you don't know whether you're reading the novel you picked up, or another one. That's exactly what it's like.

Some of you may take pleasure in this, but you are not me, and I am not you.

There's also I'd like to be aware of the characters that may be relevant to Jack (or now, Varius) without needing to wait in OOC after asking or have to check a list, and then try and read and skim and see if that particular person is there, and whether or not they're actually in relevancy. We have some characters who may skip class like Mokuren for instance, so by reading that she is in the same class doesn't help too much with characters like that.

Enough. We will have @Lugubrious be the judge. I see this going nowhere.

He has said to not use headers creatively (or you can, but not without clarity on some things), but I think we should decide some ground rules on when they are required. Like if multiple classes are going on at once, or multiple events or missions are going on.

Otherwise I don't have problems with them being not used, like if every student of this year or that year were in one class, or combat class.

So I want a more definitive final word.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Yeah I realize, but I still see no proper objective reason why we shouldn't use headers.

We stopped singing? Guys pls.

Tranquil, as a FOOORRREESSST!

<Snipped quote by Sho Minazuki>

I honestly think it was not necessary at all.

You had a problem. You could not figure out where characters were- people gave you multiple solutions. You could skim, look at the doc, or ask in OOC. But you only wished for your solution to be pushed forward, the one that was most convenient for you, despite what you want to say on the matter. Because you clearly ignored or ridiculed anyone that attempted to say otherwise. Is compromise so dirty?

<Snipped quote by Sho Minazuki>

And this pisses me off. You have basically told us our posts are so boring you can not even bother to skim/communicate with us/go to doc because you'd rather go on imgur. An RP is not something you go in purely for yourself imo, reading others posts is part of the fun, but I guess you have a different view of that.

IF anyone doesn't wish to change/add headers, you know why.

Not because of their inflated ego, as you would suggest.

@Nytem4re

I mentioned imgur as a joke, though admittedly I probably should not have given the context and tone. In all seriousness I would prefer to use the time to draw or write things up for my own RP. With that addressed, I'd like to break down your argument against mine, and everyone else's.

You deny the use of headers simply because there are other solutions that can be used, with no basis other than that they are there. It's almost like trying to argue fossil fuels over green energy for sustainable energy. I presented a solution that would save all of us loads of time and you have yet to properly break that. Please, tell me how and why everyone having a header takes longer than having to skim through every post and/or posting in OOC and waiting for the related person to respond? Rather than if everyone just needed to see a single line at the top of everyone's post to get an idea of everyone's location and what is generally happening?

You then use a more personal reason as in me "browsing imgur", blaming me on being lazy, and so on, as to why we shouldn't use headers. This adds nothing to the argument whatsoever, so I will kindly ignore it from now on.

Next, literally everyone who has argued against it has used only anecdotal evidence to support it, which on no logical or objective grounds is reliable.

These three reasons are the main reason why I am still going on about this now.

If we're going to be civil, use more objective reasons and maybe something with more substance than "laziness" and personal remarks? The conference doc is great, but the half minute you use to open it up and browse it, even less than half of that could be easily used to type the header up. There's also no guarantee everyone has very fast internet, so opening up the document could take longer than a minute for some.

And final note. I am not asking for everyone to make it "painfully clear" as to where their character is.

Just a simple "Armoury Class | <character name>" is literally enough. Just their location name and character name (we're going to need to do the character name, especially since players are now starting to have more than 1 character).

"Yes, I'd be happy to sit with you", he responded to Shizu. As he took his seat she began a familiar line of dialogue, but the server cut her off. It appears she wasn't to be working today, but spoke out of habit. After that, he left while Rui was left with Shizu and a menu.

"It's rare to see you here out of uniform", he began.

"Or... In uniform", in fact he never saw her in her school uniform, which was what he was referring to. He flipped through the menu a little bit, it was the menu she handed him while he was being seated.

"You seem to act like you're in uniform anyways, I guess there's no changing whats inside of you so easily", he was referring to Shizu's earlier reflex to serve a customer. She was visibly studying for the midterms coming up. It seems she felt more at home here, or for some other reason she chose this place to study. Rui wasn't sure whether or not to offer help, but he was going to stay for the cake. That said... What'd she say the specials were? Mobile suits, and there were some small plamo kits in the menu too to build... Maybe he should build one...

You can swap Alexei and Noboru there and it suddenly makes more sense.
