No, it's okay. I want everyone to be happy. What we could do, is just open up a second (or maybe a third, if it becomes important), utility thread. It wouldn't be for any specific purpose, except to separate off groups when they split from the main story. So, when you and Lady Kat run off to explore, that could take place in one of the threads. I would like to see them more as 'rooms' that get used for certain story segments, and then you would rejoin the main thread when it was appropriate. Would that help a bit, maybe?<br/><br/>What I can do (and it's just a tiny bit more work for me), is post a link to your message in the other thread when you leave the main story thread, and then post a link back from that second thread to main thread when you rejoin the group. That way people can smoothly follow your story if they'd like to read it. Whenever something important happens in the main thread, I'll post an OOC note in these other threads to alert you to the specific post.<br/><br/>So it would work like this:<br/><br/>Main Story: Blah blah blah, Lady Kat drags Justine to the storeroom; you guys drop down into one of the private threads that's not being used atm. I can make a note that's easy to read, and uniform, that says, "The scene between Lady Kat and Justine in the storeroom continues on (link to your post in that thread)here(/link)." The main story continues, and you guys write away. When you're done, I'll post another link in the second thread that reads, "Lady Kat and Justine have moved back to the main thread (link back to your first new post in the main thead)here(/link)"<br/><br/>The two things I'd want to avoid are:<br/><br/>1. Threads not staying synced in time. When time passes in the main thread (transition from night to the next day), it should also transition in all of these other threads. So you guys might have to wrap up a scene to keep up with the rest of the group. If someone starts screaming in the room next door, but you're two days behind, that doesn't work so well.<br/><br/>2. Starting up 50 Kazillion threads with 12 posts each. That makes the story more difficult to follow for everyone else, and confusing. "Wait, Atoinette is fucking Kolette in the library? But Sylria and Ashley and Ivy are having tea there right now." That gets confusing. We can have a max of maybe 2-3 threads for the story, and if all the threads are in use, then people just need to stick to the main thread. Also, if doesn't bother you to stay in the main thread, please do.<br/><br/>Does this sound like a plan to those who care? ^^
