Okay I'm not sure you meant that but please everybody (especially the new Scarburg writers), tell me if I'm treating you like simpletons or something! And the same the other way around - don't hesitate to ask if I'm being cryptic. I don't want to do either and I'm having some trouble sometimes navigating between being the assistant "leader" of this thingy and being a normal writer... just Nog you can tell me what I should be doing and what not. *confused puppy smile*

I mean, they may certainly feel that way about it, but who wants it to be that plain and simple? I think anyone's character could be construed as 'bad' in some way. You get plenty of conflict just from varying opinions and ways of life.

Wholeheartedly agreed. But at least with me it's that I wanted my first character to be sort of nice and with my next characters I wanted more to make them idiots, o if someone's writing both old and new folk this kind of division is rather understandable (it seems people always start with nice characters and then move onto unpleasant ones... I wonder why).

Anyway, I'm sure the original Scarburgians will be able to cause some distraction with their tricky character traits - Saeryn and Degas are rather naive and rash, the young soldiers (Osmund and Aethelred the NPCs and Matrim too) can be almost as idiots as Wulfric and Wilheard, Erbrand is probably the most hot-headed person around, Crabannan's quite twisted, Rowenna and Dan are sort of unreliable and the boys of course are always causing trouble. And even the others can definitely cause trouble, even the seemingly very nice ones. I'm actually looking forward to that. *evil grin*

Lastly, I think I never properly commented on Groin's magnificient pictures - I like them very very much. The picture of Erbrand and Stigend must be my favourite, though, it's somehow just the coolest. And as for the Ginna/Modtryth mixture, it's funny, I think she looks like both although I don't definitely think they look alike. Maybe she looks more like Modtryth than Ginna though - Modtryth is dark like the woman in the picture while Ginna is blonde, and the expression is more Modtryth-like too. I actually have a very clear of what Moftryth (and Cnebba) look like, but I couldn't draw that (especially after seeing those pieces of art! )

Pio, the link on Wulfric and Wilheard connects to the character list itself instead of their bios. Can you correct it? This would be the address for the right link http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpos...postcount=1624 EDIT: DONE! ~*~ Pio
