Regarding time lapse . . .

[Wolfling]

READ THIS FIRST: I know kind of how I want this to work. For example; Shadow season will have: Early shadow season, Mid-Shadow season, and Late Shadow season. So imagine it as three sections. What I namely asking is how long YOU would like to see each section be.

Would three weeks per section (added up, a total of 9 real life weeks per season) be enough for plots to be worked through and tied up and end where everyone wants them too? Is it enough for wars to be fought? Or would it drag things out too long? Should some seasons be longer than others?

I am somewhat partial to the three week rule, considering that we do have active members, just that we also have busy members that don't always get the chance to post as often as they would like. I'm hoping that things pick up, perhaps as we grow, but I figure that we need to take in the busy schedule of others and make things flexible enough that the role playing experience is still somewhat realistic as far as time goes. I just don't want one role play year to go by and have a player only make a few posts.

So, cast your vote, and if you can, please explain why you voted the way you did. If you marked "other" please offer your idea for consideration so that other members and myself can discuss it. I have made this so you can mark two votes, in case you two seem to jump out at you. If you marked that you want certain seasons to be longer, explain which ones and why.

Thank you for your input! It is, as always, extremely appreciated.

I like the 3 week idea, as well as the variation. Mostly because if we do, do 3 weeks per section, it WILL take a long time, but as stated, it may be needed in order to make a realistic plot. However, the seasons I think need this most are Spring and Summer, spring because its kind of like planning strategies and having/raising pups and Summer is when the actual climax takes place. Maybe Autumn can have an extended middle, but not a full three weeks in the beginning and end. Perhaps Winter could be shorter, since a bit harder for those that play the Heus (sp?) wolves? Thats just some ideas. And if players need more time during a season, maybe they can simply request more time!

What's everyone else think?

Hm . . . only had two people poll on this. Anybody else got any suggestions or comments or the desire to vote? If not, I will go ahead with the highest vote.

Unalaq, your suggestion sounds aggreable and unless anyone has anything else to add or say, I will most likely go with it.
