~Crossover Cove: OOC Thread 2.0~

I said I didn't want to place blame on anyone, but sometimes you three post so often, I can't find where to post.

 

That I do appolgies for. I am used to having to respond right as a post goes up.

 

I know how you feel mate. No one blames you.
Well... not as far as I'm concerned anyway.
In the meantime, plans, anyone? I'm curious as to how things will go after Droids section is done.

 

I am. Aren't the nightmare sequences next?

 

I'm really hoping for a good time let Nocturne just go wild. That and waiting for a right time to bring Amy and Skyla into this

 

And what about before them? We were still fast before they joined, don't go pinning the blame on the new guys.

Well I think once the Kingdom Hearts thing is done we'll have some time out where there's no plot. That will give us a bit of time to form our groups, have some interaction, and set up minor things for the future.

 

I wasn't trying to blame them, I know we're all at fault about that. I'm sorry about that, I didn't mean it. About the Nightmare sequence, I talked to DT about something I'd do with that, but it's a surprise, so no spoiler. -goes into a corner to think about her actions-

 

Hey! It's not my fault we have character plots!

 

I keep saying, I'm not trying to blame anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know all of us are at fault for posting too fast!!!!!!!!! Alright, I realized I shouldn't have said that!!!!!!!!!!!! But if all of you want to keep thinking I did, I'm gonna stay away from the OOC Thread.

 

In the case of speed, and I hate to pin the blame on any one person, because it's clearly not the fault of just one, but the fact that you post "when there's an opening" is part of the problem. Several occassions I've been interacting with you, and it's been a case of if I haven't responded within an hour or so, you post again as that character.
Now, in your case, admittedly, you tend to just add a little bit on, so that's not as big a deal, but there are some people (I actually can't remember who) that have done the same, but completely cut off whatever was happening in their new post, just because of an hour or so of waiting. That is when things get ridiculous.

 

Yeah guys, sorry to add here, but I have to say...
I'd love to be able to rejoin the Cove someday. I really would, but the speed of the posting just makes it impossible for me to ever have any hopes of finding my way back into the RP.
I can't really say much more on what to do about it since I'm no longer a main RPer and I'd have no idea what to suggest at this stage other than the minor discussions I have with DT about the Cove. But yeah.
I just thought I'd add my two pence worth.

The cove is a great RP. No doubts about it. I'm sure everyone here agrees.
But the fact is... the speed of posting is making it so that...
A) a fair few members who want to join decide against it
B) current members have/want to leave (Me obviously in this case, and I believe on or two others have left a while back due to the speed too)
C) current members still in the RP have a hell of a time trying to post at all/catch up.

It effects everyone else. Obviously, it effected my experience of the RP in a major way.
A lot of RPs on KHV usually only get a few posts a day and yet their plots etc still move along nicely, but everyone can take part and further more, I find that the posts in those RPs are a lot more nice and detailed, the quality is generally better since not everyone is trying to race.
I'm not saying Cove should slow down to the utmost extreme, but with Cove being the ONLY RP to get this many posts this rapidly, it shows something is clearly different here. Not just the sheer number of characters or anything (cause back with Ultimate Crossover, we had loads of characters too, but it was still manageable).
Either way, it's just something to think about. I figured as I was one of the ones really affected by this and that I know FOR A FACT it's effecting others too, that I'd throw in my thoughts here.

 

Dude, I have character plots and I post about 2-5 (rarely) Times a day. You post at least once every page. Besides, when is it a good idea to continue an RP without the leader? This is the only RP that happens in. It's not fair to us who can't post 24/7 and it's not fair to Droid (or DT). We're taking their story and filling it with our own. At least mine are so I can continue the plot. Why do you think the Links are fighting? My villians are trying to kidnap the last princess, so they needed a distraction for Link. That'll continue the plot by making new allies for the POH.

 

We get it, we know you aren't blaming anyone. Smashfan, please leave her alone about this. I have left her alone about it.

 

The godmod has spoken.
I also agree with DT. It's not just the speed, but the fact that when you finally get a response up, you sometimes find that the other character has gone off to do something else.
It's kinda down-putting.

 

How about we let DT catch up each day before we post ourselves? I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not, but it's a thought.

 

I second that. Gives me time to write my story and clean house.

 

Not just DT, but I suppose most everyone.
How about we each post, wait for everyone else to post, and then post again.
That sounds sensible... and coming from me, that's an achievment.

 

I'm not sure if that would fix the issue of the speed of the posts. People could just watch the thread until everyone else has posted, and post immediately themselves, thus defeating the point entirely...I'm not trying to belittle your idea or anything, I'm just saying that I'm not sure if it would work out as planned.

 

Sometimes waiting for EVERYONE isn't feasible, since Droid for example can't get on every day with enough time to post. However, if we made it so that maybe 3 or 4 others do generally, that could work.
The issue then would be that sometimes there are conversations etc, or major events (like the battle right now) that are more appropriate to be posting fast for.

Honestly, there's no one answer, but if everyone used their own judgement of when it is and isn't appropriate to post, like they do in other RPs, that would improve it drastically.

 

We need to have a rule-cap. 2 posts per day. If things are too slow for you, there's the door.
