What does it matter how far Noah and Giga, or Dom and Sara, or V and rick get in their actions? All of these characters are in their own areas doing their own things. You don't need to be able to keep up with them, or match the pace set by other players. The only pace you have to sustain is the pace of the interaction between your character and the characters you're directly interacting with. Did I type that in a way that makes sense? I'm not sure if i'm saying it right. Don't worry about the pace others are setting. As long as the character you're currently interacting with is keeping up with you, it's all good. Eventually we'll all be caught up to each other <br/><br/>Very often, unless my character is tagged i'll only breifly skim a post. Which I always assumed to be the point of tagging. To let players with tighter schedules know which posts they could safely ignore/gloss over.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Well, what I likein group games is how multiple characters interact with each other to form a whole story, not just a loose set of character pairs interacting only like in solo games.<br/><br/>Also, there is the time frame to respect. For instance, in the village, I had hardly the time to write a couple of posts and the attack was already completed and every body was ready to drive away. I rushed my scene so as not to halt the game. Maybe I should not have done so. But then, either the rest of the gang would have zoomed  to the camp, leaving Steve and Kriss playing their solo part behind, or all the players would have died from boredom waiting on us two to finish our lengthy scene.<br/><br/>Don't take me wrong, I'm not telling you are wrong. I'm just trying to find how I can fit in this game without either be left apart or block the action entirely. Maybe there is no solution. Or maybe Kriss should put in a cage in the middle of the camp so that everbody can interact with her when they pass by...<br/><br/>And by the way, CrazyIvan has not shown up in more than 24h, which leaves me stranded even more.
