Understandable. Let me rectify my actions by saying no more side stories. It is either have sex, talk, or just lay on a couch. At the moment, there is nothing else to do since I can not lend a helping hand to bring someone out of limbo. I can not do anything not necessarily evil shenanigans, and can't make any side story for me to do. All I can do is wait 1-5 hours for a reply and not post something to mildly entertain myself or another.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>I didn't say that you couldn't do side stories, just be aware that what you're doing will take you out of the house for a significant period of time. Not everyone can afford to post regularly; for group activities, it's normal to expect at most a few posts a day,<em>if even that.</em><br/><br/>This isn't just your story. You're sharing it with 16 other people (including myself). One-on-one scenes, or even small scenes involving several players, can be rapid-fire interaction, particularly when they're small actions (acting out a sex scene, especially).<br/><br/>Note that if you wanted to give some backstory for your character, your visit to your brother in prison could have just as easily been your character's reminiscence from a previous visit - say, earlier that day or sometime in the previous week. That wouldn't have taken much game-time at all. But when you're running about on-foot, even a trip to the corner 7-11 is going to take a little while.
