I understand, I've been unusually lenient with punctuality for this story because of time zone differences. I also understand people are busy because of Halloween, but in a couple of days I would like to see some more progress.

Is there a particular time table you have in mind, Emily? I'm not aware of any, but I'm sure the four of us can make an arrangement that would allow the story to flow at the pace you want it to.

By the way, would you all want to meet up at the Floating Garden? I've set it up so that IB can meet up with the others there; or IB can also head to the Railway Tunnel by himself.

Since everyone is curious, I may be under time constraints because I may be returning to China in February. I would be studying abroad until June.I am unsure if you can access Legion World in Mainland China. If anyone knows please tell me so I don't worry about the commitments I made to this website.
Therefore, I would like to finish this story by January 31st.

Hope that's not directed at me, Emily. I try to post when I can, but I make no committments to get something up by any date in particular. I'm just too busy with real life: work is crazy and my wife is due any day now with our second baby.
If you're worried that I can't get posts up by a certain time, I'll bow out of the roleplay if that's a major concern. Otherwise, I really just intended to throw a post in here and there with no real agenda. My character is more of a supporting character in this story than a main one.
Let me know what you think.

Emily, I know there are ways to access the Internet on mainland China. I do understand that you want to finish the story before you go, though.
The only reason I can post as often as I do now is because of my current job. I may be leaving it for another one in December.
If you want, I'm willing to set up a timetable that I can try to adhere to. I'd originally just intended to post as I can, but I'm willing to work something out so we can finish. I find the Road Trip thread very enjoyable and wouldn't want to bow out either.

Let us not talk about bowing out of anything just yet. I think what is going on is a clash of styles. I have participated in and ran RPG forums and Tournaments with a great deal of structure, and this website is very different.
I tend to feel uncomfortable writing other players characters because on other forums it was against the rules unless the player gave you permission. I'm trying to get over it, but it will take some time because that rule is so common on RPG forums that it is in my subconscious. I worry about writing characters wrong and people getting upset at me.
I want to thank Invisible Brainiac for putting up with my wants and uncertainties. He is far more creative than I will ever be, and this is going smoothly due to his efforts.
I think we should continue the way things are and do a progress evaluation around New Years. It is fully possible that we could accomplish a great deal more than we expect to and the setting of due dates could be rendered unnecessary.

I have some friends there right now; I'll ask them how they manage to access Facebook and other sites.
I'm glad I'm being a big help to you, Emily. Honestly, I don't have any problem with the clash of styles I find it refreshing that you're taking this so seriously, and you have certainly given me a lot of ideas on writing. As far as creativity goes, just the fact that you've been bringing up issues such as social status on Legion World is highly creative in my book.
I also think the four of us are making a great team so far. I'd certainly feel that the quality of our story will suffer if even one of us bows out.

Yes, I have been trying to pin down what makes Legion World work. Sebastian reflects a lot of my subconscious thoughts. He's from a society modeled on the days Portugal and Spain were in a Golden Age because I created him while writing a research paper about colonial Brazil.
I like how Invisible Brainiac and Question Lad are very different,it has shades of Superman and Batman.

Since it is Invisible Brainiac's birthday, I think it is time to have a little fun. I want to put together a suggested playlist for our Road Trip. Don't put too much effort into this, just think of songs that can fit specific locations, people, and/or events. I can't think of anything specific yet, but I will probably stick to songs related to animation and Internet parodies.

By the way, would you like me to continue from where you left off on Road Trip? Or would you like to go ahead and write the tournament portion? I'm sure you can handle IB well.
I'd be glad to help, but I'm not quite sure how the Tournament portion will run. And I honestly would love to see how you write IB.

I will go ahead and write the next part. I have already did the statistical work that is the basis of that story part.
