Like, if your character needs help or something. And three different threads end up with I'LL COME HELP YOU.
In a case like that, I just treat each thread like the other threads don't exist/didn't happen
Just wondering. I tend to just do them all independently and--
IT CAN GET A LITTLE CONFUSING SOMETIMES CAUSE something really significant in the character's game history may happen in one of the threads, but. :|a
That depends on the type of game I'm in. If it's a serious app-based game with continuity, I try and work out a timeline in which all of them could have happened, or work to figure out an order they could
If it's a more casual game then I usually treat each one like they're the only one that happened.
I usually treat them independently and then call it rp time, haha.
Yeah, this one is the first option. But I still tend to just pretend the others don't exist.
And then if one-- DINNNNNNNNN
HI MIKEY HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN A WHILE <3
And then if one becomes more significant like...
EX: I've had it happen before where a charcter intros and several people come to help them but then one ends up like
showing them a place to live or healing them or smth like that.
SO IF SOMETHING REAL IMPORTANT HAPPENS I'LL...yeah.
AND HI DIN I HAVEN'T BEEN AROUND IN A WHILE.
I usually try to figure out a timeline for it later, how all the threads could have happened chronologically, but at the moment I treat them as they are
so then later I kind of handwave it to make it make sense basically xD
but that's usually only for immediate action things, like say my character is in trouble, but if it's more a question asked to the network or whatever at large I generally fudge into tags that parts of it
have been answered already to make the conversations more fluid.
(WE SHOULD CHAT LATER I'm heading to bed in a sec but we should catch up and stuff c: )
yeah after playing out a thread for a bit i try to figure out if theres a way i can arrange the thread into a continuity of sorts
(YES E SHOULD MOST DEFINITELY)
Yeah, I don't think this situation will work for that. :|a But I guess I usually try to do it.
Right now my character is intro-ing and everyone's like LET ME COME HELP YOU so asldkfjsldf
It's tons of fun though so idgaf
