No! I think it's fine just the way it is, and to hell with all who dare say otherwise!

1 (6.3%)

Yes, and I know exactly how it should be done! (elaborate below)

2 (12.5%)

Yes, but I have no idea how it should be done!

3 (18.8%)

Yes, by setting a base limit for the amount of time that passes per update. (specify limit below)

1 (6.3%)

Why yes, DZA, I am indeed well aware that I am wasting my vote by selecting this completely useless poll option.

So to confirm

It's a me from a previous time, not a slightly alternate reality version?

Correct. Though considering there's a good chance that at least a couple other versions of yourself are also fond of adventuring across time and dimensions, I guess running into a Moderator from an alternate reality isn't entirely out of the realm of possibility, either.

What's with the "time remaining" at the bottom of the posts? Do we have to get this done in a day equivalent?

[Parsely]

Just found the chat. Yay!
Admittedly I didn't look very hard. Heh.

The length of time covered by one full "turn" may increase as events grow in scale. But for now, I think a single day's time should work fine. Once the trial begins, a set time of 24 hours will start to count down as Chosen Ones work through their desired actions. Time can advance anywhere from a split second to the entire 24 hour time period, depending on how long it is estimated said actions will take. Now of course, everyone's actions may not always finish at the same time. So if you aren't included in an update post, it just means your action(s) aren't yet completed and nothing of note has taken place.

Once the 24 hours is up, I'll write a flavorful and informative recap of everything that went down, along with info about things such as relationships, acquired items, health status, all that good stuff. The timer will then be reset, and the next turn can commence.

Ooh, good. I feel stupid now, but it's better than ignorant.

Well, I did not know this thread existed until I chanced upon it in "Show unread posts since last visit."  You really need to work on linking the threads, unless I missed it.

[King DZA]

Yes, yes I do...I'll get around to it at some point today.

[Vgray]

We're going to be the cause of World War III. I'm calling it.

[Xantalos]

Only I fear we may be the Hitler. I don't want that! I don't eat discriminately.

[Vgray]

Oh, and for future reference DZA, I think I'll be drawing inspiration from the Bartimaeus Trilogy. Which kinda makes me wish my character was a British Magician. Just imagine the culture shock. Quick. Somebody make that Character. Give him (or her) a Bartimaeus esque sidekick.

[Parsely]

Carlsbad? Trippy. O.o

[King DZA]

Finally did something with those two reserved posts on the first page.

Also thinking I may have to throw the other participants an event or two, just so they're not stuck doing absolutely nothing while time inches by.

[Vgray]

I guess Sir Havel just scored the first "Point".

[Inithis]

Sorry for being slow. Recently, I have been lazy to the point of not being able to do even the simplest of things, but I think that's over with.

[King DZA]

No worries, I know the feeling.

Anyway, just a note to all participants:

If you ever expect to be absent for an extended period of time, please let me know. Not only will this prevent unnecessary waiting for everyone else, but I may also be able to work something out for your character so that they're not just awkwardly standing around the entire time you're away.
