Mike, I really don't see why. Why does this interfere? What did what Lancer and Mille did that had to do with Rider at all? I could see if it actually messed with your posting, but you're just going on because we dared to go on without you. There's a difference between waiting because it actually interferes with another person's posting and going on ahead because it shouldn't interfere at all.
Well, Rider would certainly have been inclined to talk to various people, and to act. Perhaps I am over-reacting slightly, but it is still a pain to deal with.
I've had to deal with far worse in terms of a backlog in the past, and I hardly ever complained once. Other people have had to deal with far worse, and they have hardly complained.
Other people get worse to deal with if they take ages to post, yes. I get this to deal with just by going to bed and getting up in the morning. And, I recall you complaining a
lot about it, albeit mostly privately....
The only reason I objected to lantz's thing was because I thought it'd interfere with my post and make it difficult for me to act. I didn't care that he went ahead of me, it was the barrier itself that upset me, and once he explained that Mille and Lancer could look at the bodies fine, I was OK with it.
The problem is that it's difficult to tell if your post is going to affect someone until you make it. Lantz being a good example of that. There's no way he could have known Mille and Lancer would have a possible issue with the barrier.
I understand it's harder to post because of your time zone, but there's a limit, Mike. The extent you're taking this to is entering the point where it's becoming just whining for the sake of not getting your way, and not because it actually has that much effect on you. Especially when others have to have waited and had to go through far worse backlogs. And that honestly angers me.
What "extent"? I made one damn post. You are the one who is going nuts over it, not me.
And, the problem I have is that it happens constantly. When there's a big group around, I end up waking up to a wall of several posts from each player practically every day, and it has caused significant issues before. It also makes it almost impossible for me to have a conversation.
Also, what upset me more than anything here is the response I got. I made a perfectly reasonable request, and I get treated as if I'm a monster for asking for it.
