OOC Chatter for Cal's KIN game

[skysailor]

I'm of two minds regarding what I should do; on one hand it's more or less "my turn" in the thread (it's been a week, and everyone else has posted at least once since me), but on the other hand, I don't feel a specific need to react to the things that have been said in the last few posts. And "nods along silently" feels like a very short post verging on spam - not that it is spam, but it feels like useless filler that's only there for the technical reason of indicating I've read along and am still playing.

Should I just do a "nods along silently" post (in a few more words), or what's the protocol here?

If I remember Cal's rules right you can just say "pass" here.

Okay apparently I made that up but it still sounds like a good idea to me.

oops I uh

I was going to post actually (it's not a problem that someone else did) once I had the brain for it but then I uh. didn't. have the brain. so uh that's actually all my bad

To clarify for the question tho: If you don't have anything to act on and you don't want to post an introspection post or whatever then you can poke in here and ping me with like "hey cal or somebody gimme something to work with please", but if you do wanna post something where you don't Do Something then that's also fine

also I didn't make a specific "pass" rule but I did say earlier in the thread that if you need someone else to post then you can throw that in here, so consider this an expansion from "I'm waiting on (specific person/more people) to go" to "I'm waiting for something to happen that I can act on" if you want

tl;dr version: it's my job to keep things moving, so if things aren't moving, poke me with a stick

Clearly, the ransom was to give up the cat

I can neither confirm nor deny this hypothesis

I can't even share my reaction because it might confirm or deny the hypothesis lol

Oi, my latest post struck a bit of "inspiration", suddenly. Regarding the name on the business card, I - the player - would be satisfied with a "Kavirin is a last name and there's a first name and/or an initial" reply, and then if it ever comes up, work with the assumption that Mina knows the name, even if we the players don't. (Aka, you don't have to write out the name right now, if it's not already handy.)

Oh good lol. I've been procrastinating on figuring out Mistembran naming conventions and just winging it so far.
