1:37 PM <Inksword> Has there been resolution on a time we’re aiming for?
1:39 PM ⇐ marr965 quit (uid339748@highgate.irccloud.com) Quit: Connection closed for inactivity
1:44 PM <Orpheus> I believe it's around 3-6 PM tomorrow?
1:44 PM won't be here for all of that, but at least the latter half I can definitely do
1:45 PM depending on how long a certain obligation I'd very much like to avoid takes
1:55 PM
<•Wildbow> Tomorrow isn't great for me, I don't think.
1:55 PM If need be I'll break the group up into halves.
1:55 PM
<Mishie> Could just do it PbP style
1:56 PM With people PMing Bow their picks, and when he's got all 6 he announces shit.
1:56 PM Then waits until people are done resolving conflicts
1:57 PM <Orpheus> that or splitting up might be ideal
1:57 PM given we'd likely be doing so somewhat based on time-zones regardless
1:57 PM after the first few sessions
1:57 PM
<Mishie> Ehh
1:58 PM It'd feel kind of forced if groupings were done based purely on timezone
1:58 PM Like, you'd assume that the kids would have some small say in who they go to hang out with.
1:58 PM So I'd expect Bow to just setup the scene as a whole, and then let people decide where to go from there.
1:59 PM <Orpheus> yeah
1:59 PM but like
2:00 PM better it feel a little forced and grow out of that naturally, than the game fall apart because we can't schedule a damn session
2:00 PM
<Mishie> Well
2:00 PM Bow DID straight up write in the doc that if someone doesn't fit in, then he'd have to remove em.
2:00 PM Guess that's incentive to make friends in your timezone.
2:00 PM Or don't
2:03 PM it IS a game based on Pact y'know
2:03 PM <Orpheus> okay
2:04 PM
<Mishie> And honestly, what I said would only be a problem if you're going out of your way to make people not want to have you in their session.
2:05 PM <Orpheus> I'm... not really sure what that means
2:05 PM
<Mishie> Uh
2:06 PM <Orpheus> if I'm parsing right, 'if you're a bad player or an asshole you're gonna be the first on the chopping block'?
2:06 PM because I am well aware that I'm new here
2:06 PM
<Mishie> That the only problem with the players being able to decide who they interact with instead of being forced into boxes based on timezones is if for some reason nobody wants to be in your session.
2:06 PM Yeah, so nobody would dislike you
2:07 PM <Orpheus> I, uh. Don't get the /impression/ people especially dislike me.
2:07 PM
<Mishie> Awesome!
2:07 PM
<waxpapers> having your *character* be an asshole shouldn't be an issue
2:07 PM
<Mishie> Ehhh
2:07 PM <Orpheus> well, that's good
2:07 PM
<Mishie> Depends on the type on anus
2:07 PM type of*
2:08 PM some assholes are fun to interact with, others are just painful
2:08 PM
<waxpapers> if you're roleplaying an antagonistic character well, that should work
2:08 PM
<Mishie> yee
2:08 PM
<waxpapers> just remember that conflict should be "yes, and", not "no"
2:08 PM
<Mishie> gotta make it fun for not just yourself, but also the other players
2:08 PM
<waxpapers> exactly
2:08 PM
<Mishie> Since if they're not having fun, you're not going to be having fun for much longer.
