Questions

[DA 2009]

This thread is used for questions, not discussion, and it should be continued to be utilized as such.

To answer your initial question, Mal:

If I find someone that I trust, and give them my Info... And I know they can be around the last hour before each deadline... Can I write something and have them post it for my under my own account under specific instructions?

If it is someone you know in real life, then yes. If it's someone on these forums, then no. I have already refused this question from somebody else.

I'm asking because I am scheduled to work 11PM EST. till 4-6 AM EST. All NExt Week, like Next week.

If you have time to write a role-play, you should have time to post said role-play; it takes an additional thirty seconds. If you're asking because of strategical purposes, then I am absolutely not inclined to help you. If it's about simple deadlines, there's not a whole lot I can do for you anyway; I have eliminated several people already who couldn't make a deadline, and a few of those people were in much better positions than you are currently.

And I feel that some are playing that time thing as a strategy, that they bitched at me for thinking about, and I feel it's unfair... though I'm not bitching.. I'm just preplanning..

I play absolutely no role in what strategies people use or do not use, so, there's nothing I can really do about it. If people are bitching at you, the best I can tell you is first of all, don't even talk about strategy with other people and it won't be a problem, and second of all, just ignore it. I think you care too much what everybody else thinks and says. Keep to yourself and forget about what other people say. I will ask, however, that you do not bring the subject of strategy up again on the forums. If you feel it absolutely necessary, do it in the ChatBox or PM.

As well when you move to 2 posts each per 48 hours... Does that mean we can post twice back to back or what?

It is most likely that it will not be bumped up to 2 posts at all, for a few reasons:

1.) One post per person is proving to be completely sufficient from a judging standpoint.

2.) One post per person is difficult enough to coordinate and accomplish in 48 hours, so two seems very tight.

3.) Were I to bump it up to 2 posts, I'd likely need to extend the Combat Day to 72 hours, which would push the time constraints I have to complete this saga, as well as make it more of a pain to work around collar deadlines.



As far as my changing of the rules goes, I absolutely assure all of you that I do not do them simply to benefit an individual or select group of people. A change affects everyone. For example, extending the collar timers by a day allows every single person in the game an extra 24 hours to post. It is not possible for it to selectively help one person and not another. Furthermore, these rule changes did not apply retroactively. Those who were affected by the previous ruling stayed affected; I honored what I had written within the defined parameters, no matter how strongly I may have wanted to keep them in the game. I don't do these changes on a whim, either. This is a brand new, completely untested format, so I am learning as I go along what works and what does not. My entire goal for this saga is the make sure people have fun, and if a rule is unreasonable or unrealistic, then yes, I will alter it accordingly. I said I would enforce them; I never said I was going to be inflexible. I have made every effort to listen to suggestions and incorporate them when I felt they were logical, reasonable, and had a positive impact on everyone, not just one or two.

One last thing: I will be the only one allowed to answer questions from now on.

Just out of curiosity, are we allowed to roleplay what Audric or Damon are doing? Obviously not instead of our characters, but as a supplement to our regular RP`s.

I really, really, really prefer it if people don't.
