Hi Mnemo!

I just realised I have sent you two PM's... They're basically identical but the end is different as I added things on the latter one.

I mistakenly pressed something that took me out from the PM-writing mode but didn't realise it was the send-button... Well, now I can see it was that.

Sorry for flooding your account (it's actually full now...).

Nice to see the transitioning is going well and with much enthusiasm!

Looking forward to continuing my read of this enjoyable tale.

That would be awesome, if you joined us, Pio.

That was what I was thinking. Can it be arranged?

A 17 and 21 year old will be interesting enough, though, depending on how they're played and just what sort of characters they are... You mentioned 'troublemakers', though.

The new Eorl sounds interesting. He's not quite the 'normal' bad guy who is bad just for the sake of being bad. I'm looking forward to this. Fellows who are used to authority are tough to work with....and that means fun for us writers.

Fea, I see I was wrong. That is interesting. She could have twins. Hehehe.

I'm glad you enjoy reading my stuff for Saeryn. You are not tampering too much in my plans at all. I like it when you comment on things that 'could' happen with Saeryn, because then it gives me both ideas and insights into Saeryn's character that I may not have thought of before.

Nogrod and Lommy, if we are skipping to the day Eodwine leaves and if it is before the new Eorl arrives with his extra, new characters, can we start writing that day now? We could all make a pact to make the day as short as possible and so get on to the new eorl as quick as possible.

Looking forward to start writing again!

Join, pio, join!

I'm rather sick at the moment, so I don't know how I'll manage stuff but you guys are making me enthusiastic with your enthusiasm. Maybe I'll even post my character bios today? I have a very clear idea of these two rascals in my head, and I'm afraid they won't be too gentle to the current staff, especially the womenfolk...

I promised Nog I'd spam some people with invitations but I haven't had the time/health to do it yet. I think I could do it now. Like, right now. *hurries off*

Actually, that's not entirely true. Though, I was far from being spammed.

I wonder though, anyway, so what does one need to do to join here? I was briefly briefed on the situation from Lommy (I haven't been reading the thread itself much yet, though I got the basic picture... anyway, I certainly am not going to read through hundred of pages ) and I was thinking about taking a character of a simple soldier, if it can be so. Could be, like, a rather random person arriving with the new lord (I guess he would have some soldiers with him). So, would that be fine? And if so, then could somebody just tell me what I need to do (like, character form, what should it look like, and so on), and also if there is anything else I should know about?

Haha. *smacks Legate gently with a mushroom*

Here's the abbreviated character description form for the Mead Hall. It's like a normal character description form, but it need not be so detailed (mainly for the conveniency of other writers, you can keep some stuff to yourself if you want to). We didn't use to have those here, but we started using them in roder to make it easier to use other people's characters in our posts.

I already told you it's perefectly fine you write a soldier. So, feel free to make that character descrption form for him. I don't think there's much else to do, except familiarising yourself with the general information in the beginning of this thread may come in handy.
