This is a major pet peeve. I expect people to wait for me to post and not run of with the thread. I know there are some people that dont mind this but I dont want to read two pages in order to post.

Two

well there is not really a two.

Im sorry if this seems ranty. On ALL of the rp sites I am on there is a post order, all six of them. A post order makes things a little simpler and nicer, it gives people time to thing and others time to plot. I personally dislike having to read a dozen posts just so I can do mine.

O.o ah alright..I understand (somehow) can you tell me how to implement it on the threads to keep this from happening?

Ill use names rather then letters

if say lili posts first and starts a thread then the post order would look like
lili

say Joe and John join the thread it would look like
Lili
Joe
John
Lili
Joe
John

if more people join then it would grow larger if someone(Ill use Jesse) cut say John it would change to
Lili
Joe
Jesse
John
Lili
Joe
Jesse
John

easiest way to implement is to let people know it exists and ask them to follow it. Im sorry I was a little upset when I posted the first post, bad day ^.^;

ohhh, I see (Yeah , I read it, Your still in the mission btw, it's just that major missions have minimum of three members, no certain maximum) How about if Joe doesn't reply? should John go ahead?

sorry about this sweatdrop , it's just that I haven't been rping for a long time. So I don't know much ( I've been trying my best to find out what post order was but I could only get vague ideas, I'm really sorry! )

But the whole point in an RP is to have fun.
When you have to wait around for others to post there is no fun in it.
I have been in RPs where I was a main person in the RP and I would post a few times have to go to school and come back with dozens of posts to read through.
The whole point is to have fun to be organized and say you can't post until after these people.
Sorry that is one of my peeves.
RPing is like a book.
It goes however the author wants it to go.
You have to read to get into the RP and you have to read to post.
Why not let people post how they want.

That's a very good point. I've been thinking about it, and things'll be a lot harder for me if post order was implemented. Since I could only go online on weekends (on normal circumstances.) So that means very few posts for me on the rp. And I think I wouldn't be the onle one who would have problems with this.
Anyway, there's no need for you to read al the posts to understand whats going on. You can just go in and ask.

I just found it easier for me to go in and read rather then take time out of other peoples RP time to ask hey whats going on.
But then again I'm a reader and love to read books so reading a few pages of RP would be nothing to me since I read books that are over 200-300 pages long.
