ARCHIVE HIGHLIGHT: Question about Multiple Threads

Just wondering; can you have your character in multiple places at once? Because sometimes it seems like someone's wolf will be in multiple threads at the same time. Like, start one today, another 2 weeks from now but still be posting in the first kind of thing. Can you do that or am I just being unobservant? XD
EDIT: I realise this is in a weird category. Oh well

Well I believe we do allow it, since I've been doing it since I joined here.
The sense of time is kind of wonky here since our year is literally a year. So, I think there is a sort of haze around dates, unless it is very plot specific and needs to be a certain date. I think in the end the date matters only slightly. Don't quote me on this, since I could turn out to be an idiot. C:

Haha thanks. I guess that makes sense; having stuff in real-time means LIQUID TIME! :O And if you turn out to be an idiot I'll let you know later, mkay? =3

It depends how much importance you put into it as a person, I believe. I know some are more picky about it than others. I myself try somewhat not to have my character be multiple places at the same time/date, but sometimes I slip and suddenly have Haku three different places of the map at the same date, and then I usually choose to forward or backdate it, as I try to play it out as realistic as possible.

I usually wiggle around this by assuming my threads are in "relative" chronological order, rather than something based explicitly upon dates. Most of the time the dates my threads are posted correspond to the date they actually happened, but since I don't post new threads every day, if I go and post like 3 new ones all at once I tend to assume they actually occurred spaced out over the time span from when I posted my last "batch."

Yep, Out of Character time equals In Character time. So if you post a thread, it occurs when you post it unless you specify otherwise. Usually this just applies to the date and you specify the time of day in your thread. As Zero also mentioned, you can forwarddate or backdate threads so they follow in chronological order.
In this sense, you can have as many threads as you want. Some people like to maintain a very organized log of threads, which is fine. :O Just know that, no, a character cannot appear in two places at once, but threads are assumed to have started the day you posted, so you can have as many threads as you can handle! :3

And if you like mindfucking people, you can have no timeline at all! :B *USELESS REPLY*

If you want the timeline of my posts you have to rely on whoever I RP with, which can be fuuunnn!
