/vaguely wonders if sending Kinji on walkabout will keep him away from Plot
Blue Emus
are you wanting to keep him away from Plot?
Mrs. Sheepie
i mean, kind of?
Mrs. Sheepie
he's been accidentally Extremely Useful to Plot twice in a row and then he got a plot role
Mrs. Sheepie
And I'm feeling a bit self conscious i think
Blue Emus
Hey, sometimes that happens. Especially since, really, at the start of a jaunt no one really knows where the Plot will lead
Blue Emus
there is an element of chance in who gets involved, and I don't think you should be obligated to avoid a jaunt just because you've been involved in plot previously
Flash Bastard
Look at it this way, he's being a damn fine Fool. "What's over here-- OH HEY GUYS THIS IS A THING."
Blue Emus
and honestly I think if anyone judges you for stumbling across plot purely by chance then they are the one who has the issue
Mrs. Sheepie
Flash Bastard : ahahahah
TsinganiFlower
Yeah, I would say don't worry about being involved in plot too much. You're not being mean about it or blocking other people from doing anything, so it's not a problem.
TsinganiFlower
That said, if you wanted a less plot heavy role, it's true that there will likely be less plot in the walkabout.
Mrs. Sheepie
i always feel a bit stupid when i get anxious about rp bc it's supposed to be fun and silly

I mean, if time is an issue, i've sent my nosy character on walkabout because i've been busy irl
Mrs. Sheepie
And my reasons for getting worried are usually Dumb
Mrs. Sheepie
it's definitely not time, ahah
feral girl fall
aha
feral girl fall
I mean, do you think a lot of the players are being shafted by, idk, timezones or something and need an extra day to keep up? That was one reason I didn't put up a plotting post or spearhead the breakout even if Altair totally would have.
feral girl fall
You seem to be fairly on top of things, but then again accidentally being plot is kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy in that regard lmao.
Mrs. Sheepie
pffff
Mrs. Sheepie
i mean a little bit
sailor bii
that's what happened with me and thorne my first three jaunts
sailor bii
like first one i plot rolled and i had an excuse
sailor bii
i had no excuse the next two
Mrs. Sheepie
mostly it's just kinji exists in a state of "GOTTA DO THE THING" a good deal of the time, and his impulsiveness tends towards seeking out Plot when he's himself
sailor bii
yeah
Mrs. Sheepie
like chasing burger monsters into portals
Blue Emus
you're planning to infiltrate tho, right?
Blue Emus
that can help you mitigate Kinji's desire to Chase Plot
Mrs. Sheepie
i think so! it mostly depends on jaunt info as to how
Blue Emus
although really, there's nothing wrong with trying to chase plot all of the time anyway
Mrs. Sheepie
And Gil's gonna be infiltrating too
ElleBrat
yeah, there have been some... eh, complaints? that 'the same characters keep winding up close to the plot' (paraphrased)
ElleBrat
entire basis of yolotubeninjas is to keep them actively distant from the plot because of that.
ElleBrat
and also because yolotubeninjas is a frigging hilarious idea
ElleBrat
ESP if it gets archived so later yakumo can be utterly mortified that his overlay's idiocy is in full view of all Travelers
Mrs. Sheepie
free Eldritch Defense for the masses
Blue Emus
honestly almost every game I've been in ends up with those kinds of complaints
Blue Emus
sometimes it is favouritism or people 'hogging plot' or whatever...but most of the time, it's really just that the people who do the most work at getting involved end up being involved
feral girl fall
It may be that the same players are more available and more savvy with guessing plots. However, Syn is a particular kind of beast where we have to guess at Jaunt plot as a game mechanism, so it's more tangled up with the game as a whole.
Blue Emus
and you gotta leave room for others to get involved, but I don't think we should be saying 'you've had enough now; you can't get involved any more'
feral girl fall
Therefore something more players care about than in other games i've been in. Not sure what this means now or future, but it's a Thing.
feral girl fall
I mean, in other games i've been in, most players who were busy and involved eventually got tired lol, so it sorted it self out.
Blue Emus
Yeah, there's natural ebbs and flows
feral girl fall
I thiiink we were gonna try a thing with longer mingles so that more people could have the time to plot?
sailor bii
next jaunt is going to have four ten day mingles, yeah
Blue Emus
I think so?
sailor bii
and i'm going to revise my not-redwall so it has four long mingles and is no longer time compressed
Blue Emus
...which I must admit I may find tricky, I often find that in the days before a new mingle I'm already antsy and want it to be here already, haha
Blue Emus
but we shall see how it goes!
feral girl fall
I'm the opposite, where i come up with an idea halfway through and worry i might be Late and no one will tag me, which might be exasperated with this change, BUT
feral girl fall
threading considerately with people in different timezones and weird schedules takes priority for me, even if things do take longer to get threaded.
feral girl fall
In a cruel twist of irony, the Jaunt i just submitted is the old 7-day formula, but one of the mingles is just "the last mingle, part 2" so i think it will be fine
sailor bii
we can always adjust. when you're a player running a jaunt, what happens is me and gill attach ourselves to you and help you with the thing
sailor bii
aidra can vouch for that
feral girl fall
lmao i imagined barnacles
sailor bii
v cute barnacles tho
sailor bii

feral girl fall
