I don't really understand Kay's argument about the timeline. Obviously they are claiming to be there during the rp where the people they are sensing are there. I don't really understand how is saying that they cannot be there, but maybe she knows something that I do not.
I decided to spend some of my morning doing some digging, and accordingly, it took me roughly 2-3 turns to find Kayenta after Rita, my dragon companion, linked back up with myself and Pyro, my other dragon companion.
At first, I was going off of Rita's memory, but by the next post, Eric picked up on something worth investigating, though he felt that it would be better not to start any trouble. His search for plant life abruptly ended on about turn 3, where the duo arrive at the oasis, Kayenta still be missing from the scenery.
You would have to page back about to 20 days ago in order to read that far back into the RP.
Chiyo and party entered and picked up on an approximate location of interest on turn one. However, Chiyo is more skilled in sage mode than Eric, so that's a reasonable explanation for the difference in timing.
Before that, they were in the wetlands (about 1 day ago in real time), where Chiyo went into sage mode before flying off with Hazama for the desert. That, in real time, took place only a day or so ago, so if you were to not take into account that the time for the Temple RP was extended out so much because of the limits of posting in turn, they didn't even set out for the hunt until some of the most recent events of the Temple RP.
Hono has been seen previously bouncing around the realm (as far as what I have seen), going from Iwa from Konoha and back again enough times in a short amount of time to make one question a thing or two. In Sunagkure, he had been at a wedding that presumably takes place at a around the same time as the Temple RP (roughly a day and some change worth of Sunagakure board).
Dark and his gang set out from Sunagakure board (roughly 3 days IRT) and are not seen in the desert zone until after Chiyo and her group arrives there.
Now, the Temple Oasis, on the naruto wikia (link:
http://narutoprofile.wikia.com/wiki/Temple_Oasis) states that it is located deep in the Sand Sea (the desert of Wind Country).
As Suna is smack dab in the middle of Wind Country, and presumably in perhaps one of the deepest parts, it can be assumed that someone just entering the country would take longer to arrive at the Oasis' location and vicinity than someone who left Sunagakure itself, especially if the latter departed before the former.
Due to the intricacies of SL RP, all of these parties arriving in the order that they did is mysterious, to say the least. As RP time does not necessarily flow with RL time, I think it is fair to be argued that Hono arriving at around the same time as Dark's group and Chiyo's group is very questionable. Due to the same reason though, Chiyo's group arriving at the same time as Dark's group is murky waters that can be explored in a different posting.
As of this post, I find that Kayenta's concerns of timeline are somewhat relevent when it comes down to figuring out how far away each of these parties are when Kay puts up the barrier.
Since it was me who was leading the attack to get Warren, him and I decided to come to agree on terms.
We've come up with the best way to make both parties happy, or so we are hoping.
Here is what we came up with;
My whole RP and those who were on my side of the 'attack' are gone. Or, their entrance posts into zone one are voided. This way Kayenta should be satisfied, and the RP can carry on the way it was going to, even if that means moving it.
BUT, this is what I get in return;
Warren agreed to fight me like the times of old. We are going to have an old fashioned Bijuu fight. We pick a zone, we duke it out, and anything that happens in the fight doesn't affect our character. The only factor that can change IC from this fight is if I'm the winner and the Ichibi is now mine instead of Warrens.
IF we somehow finish our fight before that group RP finishes, then the changes won't go into affect until after that to because, lets be honest, it wouldn't make sense for Warren to suddenly not have the beast during any RP...
I want the opinions of those who have spoken on this thread and who are mainly involved in the RP to comment of they have any problems with this.
Aaaand, just before i get to post my opinion on the whole timeline thing, I get ninja'd with the 3/5's compromise.
I have no issue with this compromise, for reasons I already stated in my uber post some time back.
