I've dealt with too many trolls in my life, I think.
I had one player in an ocean/sailing based RPG campaign insist that his character be a horse-mounted knight.

Gatecrasher had 8 total troops on it, because Long War. Unless Nick can't count. XD

Nick can count. I on the other hand am knackered and cannot.

What happened to the mission open RP? You were off to a good start!

Never underestimate apathy, I guess?

I would post, but I'd prefer other people get a word in first.

I would post, but I'd prefer other people get a word in first. I think four days is enough of a grace period. I've had one or two RPs stall because everyone was waiting for someone else to post next. Maybe it would be better if this was done in PMs or on discord? Then you can exchange OOC messages to help things along (ie. "Does anyone else want to say anything, or should we move on?").

This is why I conduct most/all of my RPs privately. Less trying not to step on toes, more actual writing and editing.

We should have a system where we should "like" the latest post of the RP if our character has nothing to say on the matter. Or sound off in chat regarding it. Something other than waiting around for someone to break the ice.

As someone who had a character on the first mission but hasn't posted for it, I don't really have anything to add this time around - wasn't a particularly interesting outing for Carmina

Ok so, I feel I need to ask for feedback on a particular thing: I keep introducing secondary characters around my character, Chao, and I'm really wondering at this point if it isn't too hard to follow? I list them in her biography (along with her multiple names, another thing I hope isn't too confusing, especially since I never cheat and don't use 'Chao' if she wasn't called that at the time the scene takes place), which hopefully helps if anybody needs a refresher. Plus, some of them are actually potential future soldiers to be added. It was originally the case of Catelyn, though in the end I replaced her with Jacqueline, and one of the next secondary characters I want to introduce is my concept for a psionic soldier (I assume we'll need new rookies for that at some point, if Long War didn't change that). But I have already introduced 3 secondary characters, and I'm going to add one in each of the two posts I'm planning and working on at this moment (one in the past and one in the present), which is starting to be a bit much I think.
There are already a lot of proper roleplay soldiers and I frequently have to check their bios to refresh my memory on who is who, so I'm afraid I'm making things even harder with all those secondary characters I'm adding to my own posts. What do you guys think? (By the way, I see there are a lot of guests who I assume simply read the RP without planning to participate, but if you feel like making an account just to provide feedback, I would personally welcome it) And while I'm at it, if anybody has any remark, criticism or what-not they want to make about my RP posts, I'll be glad to read it (here or by MPs if you prefer it to be private for any reason).

I'll see about continuing Gatecrasher in closed RP form after my shift then. If not, random shenanigans aboard the Avenger it is. Ok so, I feel I need to ask for feedback on a particular thing: I keep introducing secondary characters around my character, Chao, and I'm really wondering at this point if it isn't too hard to follow? Nah, I'm with you so far.

I played with a lot of secondary characters in season 1, and I don't think it was a big deal. I recommend not assuming that people know much about them, though - leave them as relative shallow sketches, so to speak.

Okay, thanks for the answers, I'll continue as planned with my characters and hopefully I don't go overboard over time x)
