Continue Posting Order?

[GoldenKitten]

As the title suggests this is about one thing, should we continue following a posting order in the main arcs?

It keeps everything in order but lets face facts, some people have been less than reliable when it comes to posting in a timely fashion. That essentially leaves those of us who are on regularly sitting here twiddling our thumbs and staring at walls for an extreme amount of time. Even if everyone in the current posting arc only took their 3 allotted days to post that would still be a full 33 days before the ball returned to the initial poster and to be completely honest due to some schedules we can probably extend that time by several more days.

So, should we drop the posting order completely? Instead we would post whenever something of consequence to our characters occurred. Keep in mind nobody would be allowed to abuse this and post every other post but at the same time we wouldn’t have to sit here watching the names go slowly down the list and bugging the crap out of those who don’t seem interested in staying active. Those who wanted to post could do so freely and those who take their sweet time could post when they got the chance. Though they would be expected to mold their post to the active posters and not the other way around, after all someone who has been interested in keeping the RP active should not be forced to cater to someone who is not.

I realize this sounds a little harsh and could complicate matters if you’re not good at following multiple stories but it’s getting a bit ridiculous. One round of posting should not take a month.

I say no, lets drop the posting order and just go with "if you have anything to add, post it". I'm getting 'slightly' annoyed at the time it takes for things to move forward(although I'm even more annoyed at the lack of activity in the human RP after hearing so much whine about there not being one.) So yeah, lets drop the posting order and hopefully get some activity back in the place!

I say no. While I am not a current "plotter", i have seen how long it takes to post and move it along, and it's hard to tell if I can even see the snails in the distance anymore. And, as a side note to Zhiel, I would like to join, but I kinda don't want to be the first to join >_>

I agree as well, this way'll save people from having to wait a month just to post again, which in my opinion can kill people's motivation to post altogether and bring the gears to a grinding dead halt. Doing this I belive can be a great way at moving things along swimmingly without inactive posters acting as dead weight.

I say keep it, I know im the "dead weight" and "inactive member" a lot of you are speaking of and i apologize but i still say things will get cluttered my proposition is to shorten the limit to one or two days

[GoldenKitten]

The problem is that limiting it to one day causes people to rush so much we will either end up out of order anyway from people not having the time or allot of crappy post from people who plain don't have the muse to squeeze one out that day.

[SamuraiFoochs]

I say forget the order, personally.

Alright the opinion is nearly unanimous on this and we have received votes from those who are usually active on a daily basis for the most part. I will leave the poll open for those who might come later but after this if you do not post and give a reason your vote will be ignored either way.

As of now the posting order is dissolved. Do as you wish so long as your character has a reason for posting (and I take back what I said about posting one after another so long as it is in a fight or an important discussion but don’t think about abusing it if you have no reason to post).
