Thank you for the explanation, and I do understand the wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff. And I know I'm being pedantic and probably overthinking but...okay, let me try giving an in-game example of possible continuity snarls:
Glitch's vanishing post went up July 24. Based on the posts before it I sort of mentally set it as a couple weeks after the Battle of Sanctuary, then Emma's post (someone please remind me how to shot tags) as a few days after that, which puts it close to mid-May. Ish. Depending on how much time is an illusion everyone else OOCly thinks has passed since the event I'm running my timeline off of. Theoretically it could be a month or so later and so maybe it was June, or maybe things have been REALLY boring and he went away on the date the post went up, three months after the end of the Etrigan plot.
But I don't want to do that because I don't want to zap three months of everyone else's potential continuity away, and I really do think we're operating in a not-long-post-Ettie world ICly.
...am I making any sense? tl;dr for the next event/SOTT will we have some OOC consensus of how long it's been ICly since the Ettie thing?
(THOUGHT: use weird metaplot stuff to fold time back up so when October rolls around there can be pumpkins...unless literally no one else gives a fuck and we get to autumn when we get to autumn even if it is February.)
