Ok I have done one too many PM's about this so I dceided to make a thread. Like before this is only a suggestion and is not a rule nor do I have powers to enforce yadda yadda yadda.
Now I know everyone is excited to be back on here posting but to post in a thread with more than one other person there has to be some restraints.
Please if your posting in a big group to let the whole list of 3 or 4 or 5 or how many poeple post once before you post.
Now how is posting order achieved. Its usually achived as soon as you join the thread. Lets say Bob, jo and guy are in a thread. and so far its bob and jo going back and forth and Guiy wants in. Guy posts right after Bob and is now offically in the thread.
Posting order in my example:
Bob
Guy
Jo
Not compliacted stuff but it is easily forgoten. Now the main reason for this is to lessen any kind of confusion. Now what do you think when two people try to post at the same time. Someone's post either makes no sense at all or you get a mess of people just posting trying to make sense of the story.
In no way am I singling anyone out because I know there are times in the past I didn't do this and some times now after a few weeks I break posting order becuase the person isn't on for weeks.
So please if you can try to remember this simple thing posting should be more fun and easier to do.
Also if you try to enter a thread and it seems that no one can get a posting order going. Try pming people and getting one set up. I hope this helps.
Ok if there is some confusion lets look at a post shall we. A post can be as short or as long time wise as you wish. But when interacting with people in a group may be confusing.
Think of it as a normal conversation. Some times you can speak to one person and some times you can talk to the group. You can talk to certain poeple and single others out. You can say one word or go on huge rants.
Posting order makes talking wise easier to follow. I think the best way to explaine this is.. a strandar final fdantasy rpg game.
Now take any game and lets look at how the battle works. Each person goes once per round (like how a person posts once per round in the order.) But in post you can do more than one thing but if your doing more than one thing it has to be really fast since you have to think that others are going to react to your movements. So I'm gonna do a mock battle for you.
First I'll explaine what this one guy wants to do. He wants to disapper and reapper behind this guy and attack him. So this is what a post may look like.
Guy does his hand seals and disappers. In his new state he moves quickly behind his oppoent as he reappers and strikes!
Remeber he didn't hit him right. Because if you said you did then thats God moding and no one likes that. But this gives time to let the other guy react and anyone else around time to react too. Maybe someone decides to cover his back as soon as the one guy disappers who knows!
I myself think everyone doesn't need to listen to me on that last part and that they are doing fine as is. Jut keep a postiung order and its ok.
