I will endeavor to condense my posts better. I can explain why I do it, but feel itnwill fall on deaf ears, so,... just gonna continue with the flashback I guess ^_~

I still havent worked ALL the details out, but basically its a lure, entrap, execute the security and abscond with the payload (Lacey) type scheme, for ransom in whatever form. And ngl, it would have worked. But that was the day that Brie and Lacey met.
At first, it was him coming to her aid, over the corpse of her (rather incompetent) bodyguard. I mean come on, you should have known what was up,...
After the alley was littered with blood and bodies (and maybe a few traces of her juices cuz GOD does she love fighting fr), then she attacked him. At first it was combat, but it gradually transitioned with an air of deliberate lewdness.

Ill spell it out in detail in a later post, but basically he tried to refuse her, she hit him with 4 co secutive stunning blows, came, and then said "See you around"

You thought I was done? Lol

The thing is, what Brie didnt know enough of body language and behavioral cues to register (he did register, but in his loins) was that that first time they locked eyes, her eyes dilated wildly. If you dont know what that means, look it up.
For him, this also created a surreal effect. Again, he wasnt co sciously aware of the ramifications, but to be an effective "scrub" for a nobody changeling teying to scrape out a meal, and to be looked at like the most delicious and enticing... I did say I digress.
Anyway, it's hard to pinpoint with any specificity what it was about him that drew her so, but she effectively 'decided' with that first glance.
Shes a little on the dommy side, but only to get him to make HER the sub.
Yes, this is the scope of the content I can provide to GM, and I have prrferred artfag commissioners.

About the repetitious posts argument,... does it matter? I mean yeah, we can argue "excessive", "undisciplined", etc, but the structure of /vx/ (and the site, but being specific) is to a degree of enormative potential capacity that "wanton posts" (to be discouraged, for sure) are irrelevant and negligable.

Yes.

Last night and this morning, you’ve made 13 posts, although judging by post numbers, you’ve made several more that you’ve since deleted. These posts contain between them 4730 characters, which means a post (limit of 6000 characters) could have been made with 1270 characters to spare. Your 13+ posts could have been condensed into one post.

This number of superfluous posts frankly makes threads much harder to read. There are many occasions where in order to respond to a player, or to remember some detail, I have to back read through recent parts of the thread. Please remember that I am often doing things IRL and can’t reply constantly, at least, in a manner that is satisfactory, so I have to back read. There are five ways to view a thread. I can look from the board view, which shows the most recent 6 posts, I can use last 50 posts, last 100 posts, and last 200. I can try to view the whole thread, but this is usually overly taxing on my phone or computer. When there are so many frankly slop posts, they clutter the thread, and make it much harder to find what I need to find. Often, I have to expand the field of view to see the posts I need to see. And this really is a frequent occurrence. I’d love to see the most recent relevant replies, but I can’t do that when the entire last six are nothing. I suspect other players have the same or similar problems.

Second, this kills threads. I like to make new threads on odd millennial posts. This is an occupied game tradition going back more than half a decade at this point. And it isn’t just an arbitrary number. Post limits exist for a reason. When a thread has too many posts, it will have difficulty loading on many devices. Threads have life expectancies. And I often like to keep the same thread around for a while, especially when I like the OP image. And I fucking hate missing the millennial post for a new thread in a way I cannot express. Mounds of meaningless wasted posts just bury through this post count and kill threads.

And further, I suspect that you probably want what you post to be read, instead of people just seeing the ID and skipping down. People would be more interested in what you have to say if you didn’t type out and immediately post every single thought that came to mind, but if you communicated only what you really wished to communicate to others, and maybe did so in fewer posts.

It reminds me of Elway doing an audit of his Fallout Equestria review, and finding that about 40% of all of the character volume was Nigel’s rants. It reduces the quality of the experience for everyone.

> Okay, lets unpack that.

>Okay, Ill work it into my list.
>I just wanna tell cool stories with my friends.
Yes. Absolutely. When something is annoying us, it’s hard to focus on good things. Talking about the behaviors annoy you is the first, critical step towards stopping that annoyance, and improving the quality of the experience for everyone. A game like this is not any one person’s story. It is everyone’s. And when everyone else’s stories are buried beneath small posts, it reduces the quality of the experience.

Im not trying to be cheeky, but lately my activity across the sote has been widespread.
And lets say do limit myself, are you suggesting I wont instead get flak for writing a multi-page post than I will for a bunch of small ones? Im fine with engaging in discipline, but theres a variety of disciplines that are being neglected. Let's also not forget that I have been asking, appealing, and in some cases begging for guidance, assistance, something. And yes, you have figured out that the Sphynx approach is the most insular when dealing with me.
Are you saying I shouldn't post backstory to the OOC thread?

Okay. If it isn't going to be a problem, I will condense my particularly late-night posting as much as Im able. I know I'm not unique in being tickled to talk about my character, and the inability to play for... however long kills me. I like telling stories to people assuming they're receptive to then, and if you get me going I can be so long winded that Elway's mightiest Elway-post would be like "No, stop, please, it hurts, how do I even feel pain?". And yes, I do take satifaction in lengthy diatribes and opinion posts even (usually) when no one replies. I know it's well stated,...
Until I come back and think of a better way to say it, or something I didnt include, or any of a dozen ways I could refine it.
And,... Ive lost ALOT of 'good' effort posts in my day. Thats why I have such atrocious spelling, its cuz as soon as Ive made my point I want it sent so that any number of mishaps can be avoided, neglecting to look back over it cuz one absent slip of the thumb,....
Im not making excuses, and Im not saying I won't work on it. Im just saying Im trying to keep myself occupied while waiting for the next session, or incidental involvement, or what have you.

Theres a couple things here I wanna touch on
>when something is annoying us, it is hard to focus on anything
Im acutely aware, if you recall the months pf Dbaggery I had to.gp through to get one in particular to quit.
Not trying to go back over that, just suggesting that one olayer criticizing me for lots of posts kinda doesnt hit quite the same. I'm not planning to oppose your desires/directives, but still pointing out when the pot called me black.
I am acutely aware of how posts get buries, because mine do. Again, referencing the camera which I had to wait over a month on, and sti havent gotten a simple yes or no as to whether or not Brie can have taken photos of the stilts monster and the starfish when I fell aslep while you were controlling.
Thats it, a simple yes or no.
What I am getting at is that - and I'm not being insistent with this, but am being assertive - I will be happy to fervently apply all the things over time. But, heres that barter again, I need an agreement with (you) that I'm not gonna get overlooked, ignored, or otherwise neglected as a player. I dont think anyone here appreciates their time being wasted or not valued.

Elsewhere, distant, and entirely unrelated to any meta, Lacey is pouring over documents, ledgers, notebooks, and a few maps. Her plans were just at the verge of fruition; everything was set in place with all associable fish barrels aligned.
All she needed now was that one spark, a trigger, after which. The only problem is, but couldnt be by her hoof, or anyone immediatrly involved.

Ninjas'rules for RP posting.
Main thread:
- No double-posting, except in cases where someone posts simultanously, and I feel necessary to add, like the follow-up sentence to Silver's attempt to.get Posey to open up
- Deletions and edits only if I know I can be quick and people dont seem to be posting

OOC
- posts to be restricted to small paragraphs at minimum, and separated ideally by 30 to 60 minutes, with potential revisions especially during late night, but ending in the morning with several effort posts

Yes, my 13 posts of 5000 works could fit in one post, but theyre spread out, and the inspiration to convey an idea that Im gonna have later doesnt occurr to me when Im posting whatever thing I feel justified in posting 'now'. Guaranteed I'm gonna think of better/more ways to phrase this post before 20 minutes have passed. But yes, sometimes I start an idea at 3am and dont finish it until 10am. But if I don't mention it, I will lose the inspiration/urgency.
If any additions are requested of this list, please advise.

First off, apologies for not being around. Life comes at you fast.
I am in an awkward position. I made what is basically a Necromancer hunter without knowing the party contained a necromancer. I blame no one but myself for not actually looking at the party's composition.
However, Dust's purpose in Equestria is to find out more about supposed rumors of increased necromatic activity, with the idea being it's just Dread League coming out of seclusion/the zeebs just now hearing about this. Side goal is kill any undead and necromancers he comes across. I'm sure you can see where this becomes exceedingly awkward. I don't want to fight Posey, but I also don't want to cheapen Dust's motives or character by suddenly making him okay with this necromancer for reasons. However, this makes the game a little awkward for me currently since I'm the newcomer I don't want to ruin Posey's character. But also everyone's talking about necromancy and even if Dust didn't hear this, he'll recognize what necromancy is. I am unsure how to pursue my character properly in light of this, because he is not going to like this.
I attempted to cut a deal in >>183669 → because of the dreads where Dust acknowledged Posey was a necromancer, but realized that if she actually had connections to this group he's been sent to investigate, she's much more valuable alive than dead (undead than dead?). However, I was shot down because she can't actually raise the dead. This is actually WORSE cause now she's lied about being a necromancer as well as being one. Now Dust is gonna be doubly ticked off at this. So unfortunately, we have to find a way to resolve this (preferably in character) but otherwise Dust is going to start flipping his shit cause undead being summoned.
Suggestions? Thoughts? Preferably ones that don't involve killing Dust and making me go with my backup character cause I don't think GM would like me for it.

If the party hasn't officially split yet, Brie would quickly and efficiently disable/disarm/pin Dust for attacking another party member. He doesnt stand for that, If you did want to attack.
Not saying I encourage it, nor that GM woukd endorse, but I doubt he would succeed at actually killing her, maybe just causing her pain.
But MY suggestion is:
Okay, Dust figured out she has some ties to necromancy. Might he not want to follow along, perhaps playing possum? She said the scroll came from a master,
.. perhaps she is a drone of a greater necromancer?

Maybe we can still work things out here. Posey genuinely can't raise the dead on her own, the only reason this is even an option is because of the scroll she has. And if Dust is worried about the scroll, this is its last use.

>>187675
Also this, if she got the scroll from her master, then who is her master?

My zigga in celestia, I was saying I DON'T want to attack her. The problem is Dust isn't the subtle type. The idea of the deal he tried to strike is "I will not kill you, but I want information from you as you can give it" with the idea that he'd have to follow her around, also giving him incentive to continue adventuring with the party. Because he has to watch this crazy ass ball of insanity to make sure she doesn't kill anyone.
>>187677
Dust doesn't know about the scroll yet. Dust doesn't know any of this yet. Dust is off to the side praying and such while the party argues about weight limits. My point is the second he walks back over he's gonna have an aneurysm and I need to start damage control.

Is the rhyming really that hard to understand?

I know, I get that, Im just saying if it happened it wouldnt be as bad as you think. But, heres the scenarios I can suggest from what I know of Dust:
1. Knowing she's a subprdinate necromancer, he could like I said, wait until later to.press the issue. At worst case, he would want her to expend her abilities so more vulnerable when time to confront.
2. He knows she isnt hostile and might be curious as to why she is invved in an otherwise benevolent venture
3. The traveler is a very big fish to first fry

I understand that Dust has autism,
But I don’t think that the character is bent on a party schism
Dust has risen to a position of power in his tribe
But I don’t think they promote like Klingons or through bribe
Instead, conflicts over power and mares (Jennies?)
Are probably resolved through battle of wits and whinnies
He doesn’t need to got axe crazy on Posey
Just make damn sure she can’t get cozy
And if there’s a question on who must stay and who must leave
It’s to be decided by who best, a rhyme can weave

Im just saying, Brie can offer alot of good reasons to maintain a ceasefire even without assurances from Rosey to not get spoopy with skeletons. Philosophical reason, emmint reasons, comparative reasons,... if the discussion went down before splitting I might be able to contribute to it jn real time, but appreciate if its better done after/later. To reemphasize, it would make more sense for a confrontation after the skeleton was raised

That's actually more my fault than yours. An anti-necro Cleric is a normal character; and evil Necromancer spy is less-normal. I came into the game saying I was willing to accept the consequences of whatever friction the nature of my character caused, but I didn't actually put very much legwork into doing so.
>dreads where Dust acknowledged Posey was a necromancer, but realized that if she actually had connections to this group he's been sent to investigate, she's much more valuable alive than dead (undead than dead?).

Yeah, sorry about that. I should have been more considerate to your characters motivations. I was tired at the time and didn't want to deal with it. Let's work together for a solution that serves both of us.
>Suggestions? Thoughts? Preferably ones that don't involve killing Dust and making me go with my backup character cause I don't think GM would like me for it.
Well, for starters, once Posey gets to lvl 6, which I believe she will be at the end of this adventure, her apprenticeship will be over and she will be set free, no longer having to serve her master. When this happens, she will potentially be open to taking you up on her deal.
Posey is a slave to the Dread League: she does not actually have any loyalty towards them. She could potentially be willing to strike a deal to share secrets to usurp them in the long run.

I would normally have to wait until I leveled up to strike that deal, but if GM is willing to waive that code of conduct I gave myself as a voluntary nerf.
Posey is away from the Dread League, which means they can't use ritual of transference to steal her XP and prevent her from leveling up to keep her enslaved forever: she anticipates that she will level up at the end of this adventure, and finally break free of the control of her masters, after which she could do anything she wants.

Nah it's fair. I came to the game after you. Besides, Dust wasn't my only character idea and I probably would have gone with one of my other ideas had I known.

Actually this is intriguing.
>>187709
I have a thought. How about if we do have a level up at the end of the mission, Dust can be absolutely livid about the whole necromancer thing, Posey can explain her position to him on the way back, and they can strike a deal that involves some level of Dust becoming her autism-handler and adventures with her to gain favor and more info that he can report back?
