Okay, I've recognized an error in the way we post. When we are dialogueing, we don't have to worry about this, because the roleplay is pretty straightforward on who is speaking, but when we enter an action scene, we all tend to post at once. This is confusing and frustrating, especially when some of us type fairly slow. I think we should order ourselves and post one after the other within a topic while posting in order.

Just a thought.

A good idea, albeit kind of hard to implement.
It'd work, so long as everybody was on. If you can think of a way to make it run smooth, I'm game.

That would make sense, but it would be easier if someone in the chat box just said "I'm posting, please wait for me to finish" or something like that. We just need to communicate so we stay on the same page.

Well, we make a list. Let's order it by member number. if members 1, 3, 5, and 6 were on, they would post in chronological order, without being hampered by the offline peeps. (This really applies to action sequences)

But for dialogue, we could use 'OOC' to designate who posts a reply. If a character asks a question, only the person being asked the question should post. When the question is answered, then any other person can post again.

Overall it's turn-based. If siomeone wants to skip their turn, they can.

This already takes forever, that would just make it longer....

not really. if someone else is posting in a topic you are also active in, just wait until they're done. And ur right, use the chatbox.
