I'm not referring to that post since I wasn't in it and not involved in the game actively yet but since Malina asked for everyone's opinions I will give mine.<br/><br/>I don't have a problem someone writing my characters actions as long as it is something that I would have her do. Since no one can read my mind it makes it quite difficult to do that without consulting first. Unless it is something obvious, like she is eating then it could be assumed that she would finish eating as long as nothing else happened that would change that in the meantime. I do get touchy about it though and have left roleplays because of it, more when someone writes how my character feels rather than what they do, but either one would rile me up a bit. I would tell someone once then if they did it again I would leave. In this situation being a group of us I suggest we comply with Malina and try to communicate these things beforehand. I don't really see it as a big inconvenience, there is always something else that could be written to complete the post or the action/reaction in question could be put off until a further post or if it really needs someone's reaction then its better to just end the post and wait for them perhaps.<br/><br/>As to moving scenes forward, this is my first group RP so I am not sure how this would affect me. In duo RP's I have never had a problem with someone changing the scene before I was finished with it but I guess in that situation it's more obvious when it's over. For the most part though I will probably not be able to post as often as others so I would fully understand if people want to move things on instead of waiting for me; it would depend on the situation of course as to how easy or difficult that is to do without writing my characters actions... but for the sake of time, if people are waiting for me to do something and I am not posting then I would accept that someone needs to write a short line about my character to explain why she didn't answer that question or even give her answer for her, for example. If it is something I am not happy with in those circumstances and people have posted further with content that relied on her saying whatever it was she said then I would just let it pass; or if it doesn't immediately affect the story then I would ask the person to edit it.<br/><br/>Hmm, sorry for writing so much, couldn't seem to get my thoughts across in a concise manner. Hope that is clear anyway.<br/><br/><del>Rick, I hope you stay I really enjoyed reading your post.</del>Well you posted while I was writing this, guess that's too bad ^^;; I think you are taking it too much to heart, it wasn't really about you as far as I could tell, Malina was just looking for everyone's feelings on the bigger issue of powerplay, not what you specifically did (as far as I can tell). It's your choice though and I wish you the best either way.
