I don't think we should have to worry about cutting down the number of posts. I think we should just play it out as it comes and let it go where it goes (within the given story line of coarse) But maybe that's just me. I like the blending posts idea, but if we over-do it, then we'll lose the unique styles of the different players. And like Astri said, it would take more time. Not everyone has IM and e-mails can take just as long as posts, especially because of time differences and busy scheduals. Please understand that I really like everyones' ideas and I'm not trying to shoot them down. I am a big fan of organization, but in this case, too much of it could take more time than its worth. I'm shutting up now. These are just my opinions and if I'm out voted then I'm perfectly happy to go with whatever the majority wants. I'm not broken, in my dream I win...

REVISED POST ... Astriana Heh, jus' doin' me job as troubleshooter ... although smegaol will be taking it back over soon! Channain Has anybody said how long it will take to get to New Hokkaido? And yes, it is a large Japanese Island just north of Japan. I wonder if Humble just misspelled it? It is mentioned in the FF series? BTW: interesting side note - In Trek the planet Andor was accidentally renamed to Andorra because of spell-check! Because there is an Andorra just below the Midi-Pyrenees in Spain. Squee No worries, your not argumentative, just got good questions! Now, ya gotta remember, our loose definitions of an Episode includes no less than 590 posts. If we have players do "blended" posts, that cuts the current post number down. For example: Simon, Inara, and Rowan are all in the infirmary - that gives an opportunity to do a 3 person "blended" post/move(s). All the players have to do is get together via IMs or even email and decide who is going to post. Then each player submits to the 'poster' their finalized version to be "blended". Channain sorta did that for the Rowan/Niska fight. I only suggested and she wrote/posted. I think it worked out REALLY well. It sounds a bit clunky, but in reality it works! Not to mention it cuts down on the 'continuity errors'. Geezer Ciara, Channain and I can wrap the - Simon/Inara/Rowan exposition, including contact lens removal & comment and Rowan's dream sequence - up in 3 posts, I would suppose. As to the Simon/Slight II: The Melee in the Vallee, I had already an idea in that direction. No fight, there has been time for Simon to read the info on the memory stick. Not to mention that NCN is not in control now. EDIT Quote: orginal from Astriana Con: Will increase the amount of down time between posts while folks are working out "blended" posts. I agree, sorta ... although - it may not take as much time as waiting for someone to post a move. Again I cite my example of the Rowan/Niska fight. I had no time to write 'my' section, so I emailed Channain, she asked questions, I answered and then she took it from there. Now, I will admit, Channain, Ciara and I sorta are on the same frequency concernign characters and their intertwining arcs. Feh, wipe that smirk offa yer faces ... That just SOUNDED dirty!

LOL New Hikido/Hokkaido: Nothing has been mentioned about how long the trip would take, although it could be a few days, 'cause it's supposed to be a rim world. (Where is Hera in relation to the rim?) I don't know nuthin' 'bout no Japanese islands... This particular planet wasn't mentioned in the show - I just figured it was a name that Humble made up, but it could be referring to the island. I would be in favor of cutting down the number of posts, doing blended posts, etc. for the specific reason of bandwidth. Goodness knows our RP takes up a lot of it. We've posted 1000+ in the RP alone, with probably another 750+ in the OOC threads. I'd prefer not to tax Haken's systems and the site any more than we have to. (Believe me, I am donating heavily to the "Haken needs a new system" fund...) Perhaps we can ask Haken if there's any way to archive the AiG RP and OOCs once it's finished. (Maybe I'll get back to work on consolidating it and we can post it as a fanfic or something...) Squee, darlin', I gotta agree with Capn on this one... You're not being argumentative - the whole point of this is to exchange ideas/thoughts/feelings so we can roll into the next RP and just have fun... (Besides, Geezer's probably gonna read all this, then ignore it and do whatever he wants. Just Kidding! ) ~A~ ...I'm still free, You can't take the sky from me.

Great post, Teela, though I'm not sure if River said that or only thought it. Damon is still sleeping. He needs the rest and I have a lot on my plate in the real world at the moment. So I figure letting him sleep is a great opportunity to catch up on some work. Mal told Wash to tell him when they are 10 minutes from landing, Damon will be awake by then at the very latest. Anyway, with that said, I return to my homework. I'll still be on FFF.net checking for posts several times a day, so don't worry, I'm not TOO busy. There's always time for Firefly I'm not broken, in my dream I win...

Heeeyy... our OOC thread isn't on the Latest Discussions list... shouldn't 30 posts in one day count for something? *sigh* nothing like crusing the FFF.net to relieve the stresses of RL. You wanna hear something really whacky? My mom just got a letter saying that now that I'm going to be 19, I won't have health insurance if I'm not in school full time. Now, someone please tell me why the diyu my health insurane cares how many classes I'm taking in a community college. I'm already taking all of the writing classes I can get but they won't be enough, I don't know what else to take cuz I don't know what I want to major in, and frankly: I'm happy taking two classes and RPing the whole day No, but really, I don't like being pressured and now I'm not allowed to get my feet wet on the steps, I'm being dragged over to the deep end. *sigh* Then I find out that my birthday is not the week after next, but this coming Tuesday. That's not such a bad thing, but I have projects due soon and I've been telling myself: "Oh, I have plenty of time, my birthday is still two weeks away." **hears Jayne ask: What month is it?" Well, that's my life right now... thanks for listening, I feel much better. I'm not broken, in my dream I win...

To Geezer and the rest of the crew. I would like to make a request: I have a complete idea for a episode or mini I would like to try out and 'run' as director. If there is an idea already in place for the next episode, I would like to run my idea as the episode following that, if is OK with everyone. I won't be able to start Dragonfly as soon as I had hoped. So I thought I would ask if I could practice on you folks. "Remember, there is only ONE absolute - There ARE NO absolutes!!!"

Thanks Squee, Flight of Fancy 101 in holding pattern at outer marker ... Oh, there is someone who would like to join us as a guest star. She will be coming on as sort of a lead in/spin off of Dragonfly. and 'she' is : Merzades Troy! -- Playing - Merz! She would like to be 'picked up' at Serenity Valley. This ole Cap'n has a few nice and nasty ideas he needs to foreshadow ... hee hee heeeeeeee... Merz is not bringing any extra story stuff right at the moment- more like setting up stuff for later episodes and the spin-off, Dragonfly. And Saint Jayne has been talked into doing a guest shot for my episode idea as ... ex Alliance Pilot, Dysseus Hlastoni, also from DF. BTW, do we have a rock soild 'person' to be picking up the guns on New Hokkido? If not, I nominate Hlastoni - fer my own nefarious purposes, o-course!

GEEZER Keep the Shiny side up

Librarys come in handy. Here I am 600 miles from home catching up. The blended RP stuff seems like it could be useful sometimes. I have a couple of points in Thorne's arc it could come in handy, one with Book and one with Inara. Other times the spontainaity (sp) of individual posts is more fun. Capn, I didn't have a particular next story planned, so If you'd like to float your proposal, we could look at it. Just make sure there's a place for Thorne. Squee. 19? You should be out working for a living and paying your own health insurance by now. Why when I was your age, I had to walk to work thru the snow in June, uphill both ways. Channain. You sure write purty. Now to see if Mal or Thorne needs to do anything in the RP. "Keep the Shiny side up"

Geezer Oh yes, there is a place for Thorne and the rest of the new guests. , but in a GOOD way! I sort of want to keep the storyline as a surprise. However, I will post a setup here. Ok, you folks ready? I'll wait for others to chime in before I post the setup for the next miniseries 'pitch' I temporarily call "What the Ni Ta Ma De!!!" or WtNTMD.

She will join at Serenity Valley - there is a reason for that! After Serenity lands to make the pick-up, Merz will suddenly appear at the cargo bay doors. She will ask about a ship that is similar to the Serenity, which goes by the name of Chimera. All you'll really know about her is what you observe from her: Her name is Mercedes Troy. She is 5'4", about 118lbs, wiry musculature, She is topped off by a blazing platinum colored braid that is twisted into a long thick tail that falls past her waist. She very quiet and to the point and rather robotic/cold. Merz will be wearing this: SWAT style hat, orange tinted goggles and in a ship suit with the arms ripped off. Across the back are several 1/2 meter long rods with 4 differing diameters. These rods are secured vertically in the harness rig she wears. A cross between a pistol and multibarrel shotgun sits in the holster at her hip. All she carries is a medium sized alicepak and a ... rather large bowling ball bag. She needs a ride. Oh BTW, the Dream cast actress is Linda Hamilton as seen in "Terminator 2". "Remember, there is only ONE absolute - There ARE NO absolutes!!!"

Can't wait to find out where she's going and why. The Rowan/Damon arc is ready to pitch whenever y'all say. I'll need to check back later this afternoon, tho. I have to venture into the black abyss known to denizens of Minneapolis as ... (ominous music) St. Paul. Also, as MarsCon 2004 is starting next week, I will be even more absentee than usual. I'm directing the art show, so I'll likely be away from a computer for four solid days starting this coming Thursday. How will I handle the withdrawal? With fandom antics and a couple mugs of green death Saturday night, that's how. Not to worry, I'll be fine but a little prayer in the general direction of the convention - to your deity of choice, of course - would be appreciated.
