Anyway, some of you might not know what Liquid Time is. Well Liquid Time is when your character can be in more than 1 thread at a time. As of right now Liquid Time is not allowed
I had it before (not on this site, obviously) were Liquid Time was allowed. This was good, because my Alpha could be in different threads at once, which was a good thing because then he could meet more members. However, I noticed that during plots and stuff things got confusing. You had to figure out, well did this happen? Or what not? Because your wolf was in different threads, different things were going on at once, and sometimes it got a little confusing. Otherwise it was pretty good.
However here people wish to post on threads, but must wait for one or two other people to post. (I’m not going to change the Posting Order) anyway and someone people (unlike me) can only handle roleplaying one or two wolves at a time.
So I was thinking. Should I just take off the Liquid Time and let people be in more than one thread at a time? If so should there be a limit to how many threads a wolf can be in?
So yeah post your opinions about it here <3

Hrm... I think, that 'Liquid time' is a good concept, but it does limit posting greatly. Alphas need to literally be everywhere at once, as well.
What if, during a solid, forum-wide plot, that was the only time it was limited? Then, people could post as they wish without worrying about who is where, and who can reply to them. However, during a plot that involves everyone{Like... the area is all on fire and the pack is being attacked at the same time}, then it is limited to one or two threads for each wolf. -Nods- That is probably really confusing...

I like not having liquid time. It makes things like plots and such easier, as you said. But if you were to allow liquid time, I think it should only be for certian members. Such as only high ranking wolves may be in more thhan one thread. Or members who are really good and won't abuse it or try to post in every board be able to have liquid time (Trust me, I know people like that. @_@)
If you do end up allowing liquid time, there should be a limit of 2-3 threads at a time.
And I have posted my opinion on the matter. :]] I might change my mind later if I see a reason to, but as of now this is how I stay.

Well, in my opinion, I think it's a little confusing and I think it's a little weird having the same wolf in more than one spot. I know it can be beneficial for some people, and some people like it, but I'm not a huge fan of it because, like you said, it can get pretty confusing. I'm not going to throw a fit or anything like that if you allow it. xD I just won't take advantage of it because I don't like it all that much, but that's just me. :3 [/blockquote]

Yes, before I found it somewhat a pain, because I wasn't certain what was going on && after all there is no limit to how many characters one can have...then again some people are only able to handle a few.
Hmm, yeah Haliegh I kind of like that idea, because even though I have 6 wolves I want Skyla to get envolved with other wolves. I don't want her just being with the same wolf or two for like 5 pages of roleplaying. Perhaps High Ranking wolves should be the only ones that are allowed to Liquid Time (To a certain degree of course) but this will be only because of accepting new members and all that wonderful jazz
On the whole 'plot' thing I believe that Liquid Time is allowed. You shouldn't have to up&&leave your thread for a plot (but maybe it would be better to stop for a while, because it might get confusing. Because what if the plot is about a non stop rainstorm and during your rping its really sunny?) blah
I'm rambling xD

I was thinking, if the this is... like... forum-wide, all the current role plays would be locked for a certain amount of time. Like, where no one posted, and then there was a thread where we all went to, like one big group role play. Then, after the plot, things start back up again
But, then there is the problem of that.
Maybe... They can put in their title 'Non-plot related' and such, or 'Before/after plot' and that would work? I dunno...
But I personally would like my characters to be in at least two or three threads at once. I tend to do that when one of the threads I am in are dying, or if another thread catches my eye. If I have a thread that catches my eye here, I'd have to leave the other wolves in the other thread hanging if I really wanted to join. I like the limited time, so... yeah... I dunno. All of my forums you can post as you like xD -Lame-

I like Haliegh's idea of the high ranking wolves being allowed to be in more than one thread. It makes sense.

Honestly, I think liquid time should be allowed. If you only have a few characters, should you really be limited to one or two threads? What if someone doesn't respond for a bit? I know that personally, I don't make a lot of characters. And even if they aren't higher ranking, I still want to be able to rp. But I agree that your wolf shouldn't be in 5 plot threads at a time. But normal threads... I think it should be allowed, with a max of 3 threads.

Yes, I see all you're guys points. I'm just going to put down some Cons and Pros for Liquid Time
Pros:
- Let people not have to worry about waiting a day or two for someone to reply
- Those who can only handle 2 or 3 wolves can easily get around without having to wait forever to begin a new roleplay.
- The high ranking wolves can get around easily, meeting new wolves, helping others.
Cons:
- Sometimes things get confusing. Let's say you have a female wolf in 2 differnet threads. Let's say in 1 thread the female gets rapped, how is that going to corospound with the other thread? Would it before she was rapped, or would you just suddenly say she got rapped?
- If someone doesn't post for 2 or 3 days you could wait longer, or leave the thread.
- You clould always make more wolves (If you can handle more)
If we do make it where wolves can be in more then one thread, we'll have to limit it, to like 2 or something.

I think limiting it to two or three would be good -nods- The first con is a very good point. That is where things get confusing a lot of the time. I don't know how to fix that :/ Normally the role players just fix it, and such... -Ponders- I really have no clue how to help you there xD Maybe we could have a 'setting' for each role play, like, one in the morning, one in the evening, and one at night.. and if you are in lets say... a evening role play, you can't join another? That would set up a time frame for when things happened -Shrugs- I really dunno xD

LIQUID TIME IS NOW ALLOWED
Yes, after debating over the past few days I decided to allow it BUT there are a couple of guidlines.
1. Unless you're staff you're not allowed to have a wolf in more then 1 thread. 2. You need to figure out to corrospond these 2 roleplays together. 3. Only if you ask me can you have 1 wolf in more then 2 threads, but I doubt I'll grant this, because you already can make as many wolves as you want.
I can change this whenever I want. if I see people are abusing this and sending 10 wolves into 20 roleplays/things are getting confused/ or people are breaking the rules and putting their wolves in more then 2 threads then I will change this.
Other then all that enjoy ;3
