The Fellowship of the Fourth Age (Part 1): A New Beginning Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

That makes sense. I'll wait and see what happens, then, before I decide how Grask will make his appearance.

So are we ready to call for a vote? If so, I could do it later today or tomorrow - it's the sort of thing Johari would do; she dislikes that the "interlopers" seem to have all the say...

I'm going to be having rather sketchy internet access the rest of the month, just to let you all know... Next week I'm gone M-F (I'm hopeful of at least some internet access, though), and then July 27-Aug 1.

I'd like to wait a few more days because there is so much to the dynamic of the debate, but you have real time constraints coming up, Firefoot, and I think others probably do, too. That seems to be how the summer works...everyone's in and out.

I don't know what kind of pace we want to try and keep up, much less what pace we'll be able to keep up...

I know I want to get at least one post up before the vote, but if someone wants to plow on ahead and do a post about the vote themselves, feel free. Otherwise I'll be glad to do that, too (as I said in my previous post), whenever the time is right.

If someone wants to just call for the vote and get moving towards that, also feel free to do that, just let me know and I'll at least get a save up. My post will be pretty general I think, so there's no need to wait for it.

Brinniel - Once again, if you have some things in mind, just say the word. Even if you like the idea of a little interaction between Khamir and Shae we could perhaps work it out in one post if things are moving ahead. (Sorry if I'm sounding pushy! I just know it can be hard getting back into things, particularly if there's talk of wrapping a section up to move on...and/or I'm just particularly annoying today.)

Basically I don't want to slow this game down at all, but I also don't want to force it ahead as long as there's plenty to do with the present situation...so I guess that's why I sound pretty wishy-washy and torn...because I am and all that...heh.

Okay, I'll hold off. (I'm not calling dibs on the vote or anything - I just thought I'd offer.) I have a hard time judging the pacing of this game... it slows down, then shoots forward, and sometimes stuff gets planned ages ahead of when it actually happens...

Nogrod · 07-13-2007, 02:42 PM

I do agree with Dury that we probably should not make the voting yet as only a few have spoken... even though I'm very eager to continue as well as my days of having a lot of time in my hands are getting fewer and fewer...

But that means just more posting.

Brinniel · 07-16-2007, 04:21 AM

Okay, I put up a save because that should push me to get this post written up sooner than later.

I'm going in for a very minor surgery in the morning (wisdom teeth), so I don't think I'll be able to write anything for another couple days when I'm not so loopy.

Durelin · 07-16-2007, 06:35 PM

Agh...yes, I'll probably have to get those taken care of soon(ish)... It may not be major, but take all the time you need to recover!

Nogrod · 07-16-2007, 06:49 PM

Where are the female orcs? Or the other male orcs?

And are there anyone else to voice their minds but Brinn/Shae?

I could - or Dury could write something for Beloan.

Let's not wait for emptiness - but let's wait for at least Brinn who has said she will post...
