Votes, Kill Reminder to whoever Character A is, Beta talk.
There's a group log in the main comm. The murder will take place IC tonight at midnight, but character A has until tomorrow at noon to get their pick to the RNG mod sheep_dog. It's best to try to try to get as many connections as possible tonight for the upcoming event. Right now I think only two characters have even seen or heard of the entire rest of the in-game cast.
Also, due to some OOC circumstances handled by the mod we're pretty sure we know who's ultimately going to be voted off but feel free to list here OOCly whose name, if any, your character will put on the bulletin board.
In other news, this timing thing is REALLY not working out. This game is moving much more slowly than intended. I think we've unfortunately demonstrated that it's not even remotely feasible to continue at the one day per day pace.
Looking at the pace of the game and taking suggestions I've personally heard, right now it's looking like a pace of one week equaling one IC day may have to be how it's done. I don't want this to be to encourage slower post rates by any means but the alternative appears to be assuming characters sit quietly in their rooms not seen by or seeing anyone for weeks at a time.
Is there an activity check process or a timing schedule that would work best for everyone? Would asking for one post a week be too much if it comes out to one week being one in character day? That would be the equivalent of requesting one post per day summarizing what your character does/allowing interaction with that.
As a reminder, if things are moving too slowly but aren't essential, you can use the OOC community to coordinate things. In general I'd suggest not handwaving since this game involves a lot of reading character cues and such, but the slow activity rate's been a major stress point as we come up onto the first murder and vote-off. If you guys need to handwave threads a bit or otherwise make plans that others might have their own character input on, feel free to use the OOC community.
Also don't hesitate to experiment with group threads, interruptions, etc. It's so beta in here that [insert fedora, feminism or fighting fish joke here; whichever amuses or offends you most]. Some things that are standard to DWRP might not work here and things that won't work in general DWRP might work fine here. If you're really not comfortable with the timing and placement of multiple responses to one post, use the OOC community or OOC comments to question or coordinate stuff.
