Well, if people start showing interest we can continue, I would suppose. But there really doesn't seem to be that much interest. In two weeks, no one has even responded to my post above, much less posted. It's been like this for several months, too...

We really need Aman, or if the worst comes to the worst a replacement, though that would be rather a disaster...

Since the game is missing the majority of its Corsair contingent, would it be possible to bring the game to a close here? If there were sufficient interest, another game could be planned at some time to cover the 'invasion' of Umbar and the defeat of the Corsairs.

You could work with Firefoot's two suggestions:

** Remaining two Corsairs ships (F&F being one) escape Pelargir
** Gondorians stop for a short time in Pelargir to set things to rights, or at least set the people there working on it

The remaining Corsairs, which are Anguirel and Arry, and Durelin the slaves could write final posts as the Corsair ships sail south toward Umbar.

The Gondorians can write about sending ships after the Corsairs to chase them from the Bay and out of Gondor waters, then if you wish can finish up helping the people of Pelargir set things to rights, or however you'd like to close the game.

This closing up part can take as long as you wish - as long as players are willing to post.

I also liked Firefoot's suggestion: "I'd rather see what we can just come up with as we go".

Is this something the players for this game would be interested in doing?

Pio, the height of good sense as always. I think many of us will breath a sight of relief if we round this off as not a painstaking squib, but an epic Part 1.

I'd be extremely happy to help finishing things off. Sangalazin will party in the midst of the defeat!

This sounds like an excellent idea. Perhaps Perky will be able to continue with part 2 when he can return, and we'll have left him with a good base to go from.

Folwren · 04-17-2006, 10:44 AM

Alright, that sounds best. I would love to continue the story, but it's impossible when the Corsair RPers are not in action.

To finish it up, however, we still need posts from that side. So, Anguirel, Arry - if you're the only two around, please write about the F & F's luck during the battle. . .

As for us Gondorians, those on the Raca can post about the battle, if they still want to, however Firefoot and I really fought our little skirmish rather too quickly, maybe, and we have pretty much nothing to write, until after the Corsair's escape. When that happens, we'll go to the Pelegir and wrap up this Part 1.

If we ever do Part 2, hopefully Perky will be able to come back and join us. And perhaps Aman and Durelin will be less busy, too.

Day after tomorrow I can write the F&F and the Castamir away from the battle; escaping to the bay. The Tarkos, from what I can see, has been taken by Gondor. I'll make this my final post for my character.

Anguirel - can you do a final post then getting the ships to Umbar . . . or whatever you'd like to do for a final post . . .

Does this sound alright with you?
