That´s one heck of a good idea to keep track. Thanks beth

Hi mateys,

since Dermott already suggested such a thread a while ago and Firouz got confused with the time line, too, I decided to try and make up a list.
All threads written at the same day in the story and taking place at the same location happen at the same time. For threads that follow one another I used this arrow: "->" (to be seen in the first night).
If, later on in the story, two things at different locations should happen at exactly the same time ( for example: Rumi watches the crew and attacks them from the distance), I will simply write that down.

Viola and Kriss: Can you tell me whether your threads are taking place at the first or at the second day?

[Mala]

Thanx, captain. ;D

[Sinbad]

Welcome

I just thought that it might be a good idea for later additions to the timeline to just add to the first post and not make a new post, because then it will be scattered throughout the thread with comments in between.

[Kriss]

Great idea

First night

[Doubar]

Yep. Had been exactly what I intended. ;D
I will update this post on the top every once in a while to keep track of the story. The designation "first day", "second day" and so on might be a bit plain but they will do, I think.

[Mala]

@kriss: aaand changed. ;D

[firouz]

The timeline is great, but I think we need a more detailed one with which thread came after the next.

Well, thing is: at the moment nearly all things happen at roughly the same time. It makes no use to determine whether Rumi's had been opened before Firouz' for example. But I can understand your point of view when it comes to threads like Firouz' and the watching the waves one. I mean I could add a short description like: Firouz and Bryn leave to: crews cabins - Firouz' cabin. But at least at the moment I don't think this to be necessary as - like I said - most things happen at the same time anyway and "intermezzos" (just chose that word 'caus it happens kind of in between) like Firouz' cabin don't change the story line.
For threads that immediately follow one another like it is with those nightly threads I made those arrows.
If in the future this happens between different places (e.g. the crew leaves the Nomad to get on land) I think I'll make a short note - like: "continues on land" or something.
But, to come to an end: I think going more into detail will depend on how the threads do develop. And, sure, the more complex our story becomes the more complex this time line has to be.

[Dermott]

This is a good Idea beth, it would be absolutely useful when the story will progress.

[firouz]

Okay, arrows are fine with me. No comment needed. I thought the tiller duty comes first, then Sean's cabin, then Sinbad's cabin.

[Sinbad]

Yep, just in that order

[firouz]

Okay, then there is an error.

[Doubar]

*facepalms* Oooops. You're right. So much for the being confused. *sighs* Guess, I'll never change.
Will correct that immediately.
