Made a post for Rose and for Marius.

I'll have a Valda one up sometime tonight.

Getting trapped in a tea cup still full of tea was probably something Uchiten was humored by. Before mentally influencing someone to boil the tea and drink it and burst out of their gut.

... the whole thing sounds like a Jackie Chan Adventures episode.
[13:38:37] Helligator: Depends on the god, but gods by definition in Nasuverse are strong because they have divine authority.
[13:38:48] Kat: Even the toilet god?
[13:38:56] Helligator: No one worships toilets.
[13:39:00] Helligator: Don't be a shitlord.

[04:32:08] Helligator: I can't make dragons in power armor like this

[19:50:12] francobull III: [...] why are you being all assive aggressive?

[23:32:37] Helligator: use the narrative as a means to convey an interesting story and cool conflicts with the openness you're allowed
[23:32:43] Helligator: not to CHEAT stories and conflicts

I wish you guys would not keep running off ahead of me all the time. It makes my post really hard to write when I have so much to respond to, and then that causes me to be even more delayed in posting. Plus, it means I can't actually do anything. Rider was meant to be following after Forest, but you guys just completely ignored her, again. I always wait for you guys, even if it means waiting several days, so I'd appreciate it if you would show me similar consideration. Especially since we just had an argument over Lantz doing a far-less-extreme version of this that was considerably easier to deal with.

...Except nothing of the stuff that happend with us going ahead actually interfered with anything Rider could react to? Mike, actually read the RP before constantly complaining about this. So a completely telepathic conversation that no one can hear except for Forest and Tom somehow interferes with your posting? Mike, stop it.

Well, it was pretty much everyone, actually. Possibly I did over-react a little, but it just frustrates me because it has happened quite a lot, due to me being in a different timezone to everyone else.

But, no, you shouldn't, because I'm not sure Rider will even be there at that point yet. I need to work out what she's doing first....

...Except it doesn't really interfere with how difficult it is to post here. In fact, I just learned privately that it's not because it interferes with your posting that it upsets you, it's that it happened period, even when it doesn't really affect you at all. It doesn't matter that there was no reason to wait for you there, it's that we dared to move without your express permission.

So no, I actually think you owe everyone else an apology. Otherwise I'm of the opinion that we should just go on without you in the future regardless, because I fail to see any reason to accept your demands when they're done for such selfish and self centered reasons. Your reaction was not just over reacting a "little."

No, it's not that. It does actually affect me, although more the stuff with Lancer and Mille actually. It limits how I can act. I did over-react due to frustration, yes, but it is not true that I had no reason to be involved.

And, you really should wait for people if there is any reason they would want to respond. Otherwise you get stuff like what happened with Lantz last time. Rider was following Forest, she obviously had reason to react.

What, actually wanting to be involved in the RP is selfish? I know you didn't do it intentionally, and I did word it badly, but you still should wait for people. I wait for Elf when it's her turn to post, even if it means I don't get to post again that day.

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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Okay you two need to knock this off and fuck already

UHM I MEAN UH Discuss this issue like two reasonable adults. Seriously, you two are like, internet bffs, and this is something fairly mild and discussable. Just talk to eachother and let this deflate instead of exploding at each other.

Later you'll laugh about it and go "Ha ha, what a story Mark"

Well I have to admit other than the porn we all ought to slow down a bit. It's not about character X affecting Y but rather that running off ahead prevents hooks and hell in a recent example Arch's vampire, it doesn't matter if Satoshi could have gotten there in time maybe he would have or maybe just behind him or maybe not at all but the sheer attempt changes the events in question by actually determining the outcome. The right to act is what's important not the outcome, that's why I waited as long as I did for names before computer virus screwed that up.

if we all wait for each other the game will be slower but all the more rich for all the different interactions.

side note Rin does have a point about Satoshi, I'll say that much, however what she is asking (believe what I say because it doesn't matter what you intended to do) and how (namely screaming at him which really is kinda un Rin imo as I see her using a logic trap or such or hell discussing it over tea) is why he didn't acknowledge it. Shuya called Satoshi on it and was immediately agreed with by Toshi because Shuya did not devalue Satoshi's point.

side side note the older Rin will tease the younger until the younger chills out because she's an old lady and that is how she rolls. She does value the younger's opinion but it is the way it's put that makes the older ignore it, canon Rin be classy yo, class it up, that's how she convinced Saber to stay home in canon and a bunch of other stuff.
