Mage OOC Talk and Questions

[Igor]

Please wait your turn.

I was the last "Marble" on the slide since yesterday afternoon... I've read the wiki, got an email, and watched marbles for two days... There were people "left of my marble" who went ahead, as well. :( I dont understand! :(

Posting etiquette for dummies

The highlighted bar is what we colloquially refer to as "marbles". The icons on the right represent the characters whose turn has elapses and that you can easily skip ahead, those on the left, represent characters whose turn is still ongoing and that therefore you CANNOT skip ahead.
Let's say Naga (the brunette American-Indian girl) wanted to post something, she'd have to wait for Abacus to post, in turn Abacus would have to wait for Kaze, who in turn would have to wait for Star (The character with the black and white avatar).
The first character from the left to right (Igor in our case) needs to wait for every single character on his right (but on the left side of the bar) to post before he can engage in his turn. CandidesDream
OOC comments to a scene go in this thread or in a safely tucked text usually between [spoiler] [/spoiler] tags in the specific thread (but generally, the OOC subsection of the forum is a much better place to ask questions)

Those people weren't also already 1-2 posts ahead of other people. That post of yours would have been the third one after Tyche had posted. Just slow down. Wait your turn, CandidesDream . Don't skip people until you have a better feel for things or it's appropriate/necessity (someone has asked a question that everyone​ is waiting for an answer on, etc.). Write a Glimpse if you're Jones'in.

Group threads are slow. It's the nature of having 15 people in a thread, most of whom are also waiting patiently for their turn.

Thank you for patiently explaining it well. I sincerely appreciate it.

Chill with the snark.

I know I'm new, the interwebs are toxic as hell, and tone can be difficult to read through text, but please - all of my texts, posts, and messages have held nothing but high regard. Please give me the benefit of the doubt. I've hit this issue three times in three days and Vincent explained it perfectly.

Well, I apologize, then. I can't really parse out a reason for emphasizing 'explaining' unless you were throwing shade at everyone else who pinged you on topic that wasn't Vincent, but maybe I'm just reading it wrong.

@Star West is up!

I thought Briar Rose Saber Sloth was up? Is she Incapacitated? Vincent skipped over her, but Star is at Init 1.

[Saber Sloth]

I sorta assumed she was out since I was skipped. Should I take my turn now?

[Vincent]

Rereading it, I think he might have wanted to say Saber Sloth but pinged and gave me the go instead.

Star 13 - Wakko (6L/1B) 11 - B-Ro (7L) - Winter 11

Vincent Winter is UP!

Winter's Init is 7, not 11. So unless Bree is incapacitated, it should be her turn instead. My apologies, as I should have double checked and caught up on that.
