Elite roleplay: Q&A and OOC

I think you shouldn't regard the contributions of others as being "interruptions". The whole point of RP, to me at least, is that it allows creative interaction with someone else. That, in turn, means having to deal with the odd unexpected input and incorporating it somehow. You, as the author, will derive a lot more pleasure from not knowing what's coming next, and your readers will respond accordingly.
My other piece of advice, for what is worth, is to keep your individual posts reasonably succinct. Imho RP "turns" ought to be fairly short and snappy, otherwise what you've got is a story.

.That said, my intention is indeed to keep the posts short and sweet, moving the story forward only after enough time has passed to allow another participant to, well... Participate. I just don't want to be seen to be flooding the forum with my own posts simply because no one was available, or willing, to contribute.

In all honesty, I agree with Jem here. Also, another thing to point out...
RP between alts, is really just another form of a log book (this is why Glaboskis' and Strykers interactions are so short) and, the other thing to be aware of, is the "instantaneous" transfer of information between both alts. This knowledge of how they will interact and respond to each other, before anything is actually posted. (another reason why I'm not inclined for my characters to interact on the boards.)

The issue of knowing what each character will do is part of the reason I intend to leave a decent amount of time between posts to allow others to join in. Their action may change how each character ends up reacting.
Without outside influence, the interaction is intended to be a short, but hopefully sweet, meeting before they go their separate ways. But the reason it's happening in Citi Gateway is because I'm a bit unsure where they intend to go afterwards so hopefully another participant will give me inspiration

Luke3107In my experience that translates to "I have nothing better to do".
A patient man can be very dangerous indeed, sir.

Stryker AuneFrom what I am reading Silvoliouń didn't leave the bar. He's still standing there having a conversation with Stryker. Am I missing something?
Well, yes. I noticed I made that mistake yesterday just after falling asleep...
As soon as I woke up I edited it to a bathroom break, wich I thought was appropriate scince his last entry was 10 days ago...
Sorry if I did anything wrong, or not entirely as it was supposed to, I have never done any RP's before...
