Delays? Where? Even if that was actually true, don't worry about that, it's not a race

Indeed. If you call that a delay, I don't even want to know what my posting is like.

Thanks, guys. I just feel somewhat guilty at times when I have the temerity to allow RL to interfere with activity here.

Perhaps I have been hasty in closing out the day?

If someone still has something that must be narrated for this day, please let me know and if I need to, I can change my post.

Otherwise, if all are ready to move on, how many days or weeks do we want to jump?

Galadriel55 · 08-06-2015, 07:48 PM

I am good with the close, on my part. I think most others finished the stuff that ought to be completed before the jump too.

I would say don't jump more than a couple days; there are several new characters in the caravan who haven't yet made relationships with the old ones, and lots of news to be exchanged. I think it would be awkward if we skipped this phase. If we are looking for something exciting to happen, there was a suggestion earlier that the Entwash can flood, or there could be the first stirrings of the local lords. In terms of my character, I am very flexible, but I think that a week is the absolute maximum that we should jump. If, however, people want to skip farther along, I could live with that.

A few days to a week is fine with me.

Mithalwen · 08-07-2015, 05:22 PM

Would the waggons stay as long as a week I wonder? Flooding would stave off the issue but I need to resolve it somehow. It doesn't need to be played out though. It can be reported, How indisposed is Eodwine and if he is incapacitated who deals with the military aspect of the Eorlship?

I think writing that post made me feel nearly as anxious as Scyld...

Ha! Really nice to see the activity. I hope I will find a moment during the weekend to post something. Really hope so!
