Treachery of Men Discussion/Planning Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'm afraid Naria's also pulled out. We're in something of an Ulfing crisis...

Volo · 10-05-2006, 11:37 AM

Umm... What is that POST NEEDED thing. Does it mean that I have to write something before the game can start?

Volo -

Before the official game opens, we will all have to submit a first post for our characters.

However, before we can do that, Ang will need to complete a first post for Lachrandir, which hasn't been done yet. Also, normally the founder makes suggestions what the general subject of your first post should be. You can think about possible approaches for your first post now, but nothing will be nailed or written down until later.

Pio's has a list of who still needs profiles and posts so everything will be crystal clear, but the first post isn't due immediately. (It better not be. I'm still working on my profile!

) This is still a planning rather than a discussion thread.

Ang -

Volo's question is a good one. Have you thought any on how the game will open up and what are first posts are likely to focus on?

P.S. Pio and I cross posted!

Yes, Volo - all the players will be writing first posts for the game. Anguirel will then read through all of them and arrange them in the order he wants for the game.

You'll need to put your First Post in the same box as your Character Description. I'm going through players' character bio post boxes now and editing in where you will put your first post for your character.

You can wait until Anguirel posts his First Post for the game, and perhaps he will give some direction about what the Ulfings might start with for their first posts.

I should be able to post my bio soon - ie at the weekend. I can see him "as through a glass darkly" but he is getting clearer - I just need to mug up a few things for his history and find him a suitable name.

Anguirel · 10-05-2006, 01:34 PM

My first post should be done by Saturday.

The first posts for Ulfings should probably centre around routine life in their settlement being a bit interrupted by the news of the Envoy's arrival; the Borrim could be, say, returning from a hunt, or likewise milling around.

The cameos don't need first posts.

Thuringwethil's should be subtly terrifying and I'm sure the brothers can offer some brilliant evil monologues.

pio, I have decided to play, in addition to Lachrandir, a female Ulfing.

Finally, I'll just note that Caranthir appears only at the end of the RP and so we don't necessarily have to find a player for him for a long time. (I remember Child was recruited very successfully towards the end of Sirannon.)

OK - Ang I've put you on the Ulfing list.

Thanks for the First Post directions.

My character's dog is big and reddish-gold in colour. Her name is Laylah. More to follow.
