I was actually thinking more about steins;gate - the story of how two ordinary otakus one mad scientist and a bunch of cronies use a time machine to pick up chicks. O_o

Still, in terms of roleplay, 20 pages isn't really a lot of content. I mean, unless someone pressed the large red button somewhere within those 20 pages, I just can't see a time machine helping out.

I wasn't thinking time travel would be part of the plot itself. Just that, for the lolz, we as roleplayers would go back and change minor details of the story.

Of course, there is one obvious problem that comes with this: if it becomes too drastically different, a three line post could turn into two full posts but whoever posted that would be out of space.

And we could also end up with something like:

My character says something different to Venom's character.
Instead of giving Inferi's character a hug, Venom's character punches her in the face.
Inferi's character then proceeds to fatally wound Venom's character in the resulting fight.
At this point the logical thing to do would be to call on Westenev's character, a doctor in the next room, but it's another three pages before Westenev's next post.
The result is Venom bleeding out and dying for no apparent reason. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

It would appear that I am wrong about what I said about the shoulders earlier today is wrong. But I swear that Annie also mentioned that she got stabbed in the hip. I would gamble my life savings on it too. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy! =)

Time Travel doesn't really need to be central to the plot, but is probably the easiest way to explain what would be occurring.

Another idea would be for us not to edit posts, but create our own world line chapters. We would resolve the current story, and then continue from the original post - that way we could cut away inactive roleplayers and introduce fresh characters... although changing these details could potentially see the story last beyond 20 pages depending on how drastically the story changes.

She did say that in an earlier post made before the one on Page 21. But we had her change that, because finding a bow, some arrows, and a sword in the same room you were held prisoner, rushing above deck to fight some raiders, getting stabbed in the shoulder and hip, immediately running away to a vantage point, then drawing your bow and taking out half the pirates despite your injuries, all in one post... was a tad bit unrealistic.

A couple pages later had her character was stabbed in the shoulder anyway, which was a bit more believable as it wasn't the same arm she was using to hold her sword and the wound itself wasn't immediately fatal. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Annie, The only reason I edit my posts nowadays is to correct grammar and punctuation, or to rearrange sentence structure to clear up confusion. And in most cases I do not do it at all even then. Lying about your editing your posts is not possible to do anymore, as the whole time log thing makes it impossible to do so. I understand why you did that, you didn't like that your character took a bad hit, but doing that just makes everyone else look like pathetic internet trolls that are picking on you, and that is not cool. In fact, I consider it( I mean editing the wound out) to be godmodding.

Look. the way you can get around this problem is to do simple research before making a battle post where you get wounded. So I just wanted to say that. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy! =)

This was the post where she was originally stabbed in the shoulder and hip AND killed half the pirates.

Original message details are unavailable.
Threw Annie crying she heard someone unlock her cell door and left it an inch open. She stop crying as she heard fighting upstairs. She opened the cell door and ran out of it. She looked in the brig for a weapon so she can kill the captain before he kills her. As she looked for a weapon she relized she was the only one in here. That made her very confuse because she heard someone else in here. She relized that there is no weapons here for her to used she needed a new plan. So she decided to go upstairs and hope to find a weapon. That's when she found a sword lying on the floor by a dead pirate. She grabbed it and saw a pirate coming towards her to attack her so she so, she swung her sword around catching the pirate off gaurd by stabbed in the back of his legs to get it down to her size. After that she the killed the pirate by stabbing him in the back. She douge the other pirates attacks from killing her. Now she's looking for the captain to kill him before he kill her.

This was the post where only her shoulder was stabbed:

Original message details are unavailable.
Annie was surprised that Joric spotted her. Her plan was going to kill the captain and sneak back to her cell. She heard what Joric just asked her and told her to go back down deck. She didn't know how to answer him so, she just didn't answer. She wasn't going to tell him anything because she doesn't trust anyone on this ship. She killed another pirate by using the same tactic that to use before as she kept going to look for the captain to kill him. The strange energy kept growing and growing at my blow up soon.

And +1 to this:
