Oh god what is this.

I mean, sure, go ahead, PVP as much as you want, but goddammit.
I do not want to read through 50 posts to find out what's been happening.

Soooo...

Recap?

God this goes fast and it started exactly the day I couldn't be online.

Time to catch up and slither my way into action somehow.

I think we should all have added synopsis at the beginning of each post for quick reading and and a link to our character's sheet in our sig's.

Synopsis should entail basic course of action, who was interacted with, where, and end result.

For instance, Mauve's would be: Made first appearance, helped Pyros on the road at the entrance to the town.

One sentence, brief, to the point. Then, other people who were skimming for relevant posts, like myself, could see which ones in particular are more important for them to read. By reading every post that mentions Pyros in the synopsis, I could quickly gather how the situation had changed relative to my character, and THEN I could read the other posts as necessary to what I want to post.

Anyway, short description of now is that there are three basic theaters of action going on:

1: Town Square: Center of town, where Kurama, girl framed as Kurama, and fisty splodey man, along with several others, have all convened. Kurama is trying to ignore everything and walking away.

2: High overlook: Some area off and above the town square, maybe up a hill, where the rest of Team CrybabyZell are hanging out, watching what's going on and pressing Suzume for being inexplicable in showing up.

3: Town Road: Just outside town limits, where Pyros is, along with his elderly benefactor. Not as important as the first two, but clearly established as a place in relation to everything else, compared to the vagueness of everyone else's posts.

Everyone not in these positions are vague about where they are, but it is assumed that they are on the sidelines in the town square, or in some viewpoint that is separate or apart from theater 2.

I'll second Pyros' suggestion for putting a brief summary of your character's actions at the beginning or end of a post. Sounds like a good plan to me.

Krylo · 05-24-2010, 09:30 PM

Not gonna do it.

If I have to read through five pages of stuff just to see that there's really no point in introducing my character yet, you can too.

Lazy so-and-sos.

Ichirou: Being a dumbass. Confronted Kurama, is now in some sort of battle with Juliford and Drac's characters in the center of town. Being loud.

PhoenixFlame · 05-24-2010, 09:42 PM

Koyuki's dashing down the hill at the group, ranging in on Kurama.

Apparrently she'd just got *REALLY* good ECM, or something.

My character causing people to lose battles in his sleep. :3

Bard, don't forget your character is now under the full focus of the exhaustion aura that my character has.

Julford Hajime · 05-24-2010, 09:49 PM

Which is kinda BS Menarker, as so far the most dangerous person in the little tussle there has been the dude with the ability to create GIANT FUCKING WALL OF FLAMES pretty much at will. Oh also, a spear.

But no, slow down the guy who has so far showed that he can only hit things really hard. I won't call you biased or meta-gaming.

Bard The 5th LW · 05-24-2010, 10:06 PM

I edited the post. The way I see it, Ichirou doesn't have a brain to be slowed down, and he can live with a drop in strength.
