Sailing Away Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I have a couple things to say here.

First - I love the way the way the game has started off. There have been some great posts, and the way this episode with the tip has resolved itself really bodes well for further 'mishaps' along the way. Keep up the good work everyone!

Second, on saves - if you are going to use them (and I have no problems with that!) please leave up a short description of what you plan to write. It makes it so much easier on everyone else who wants to post before you have filled your save if they have some idea of what will happen in your post.

Third, on the next week or two of posting - I want to wrap up the first day pretty soon. Briefly, here is what I have planned to happen in the next couple game days:

Day two - Not a whole lot. If someone wants to introduce a plot twist, great. However, I don't want to spend a whole lot of time on day two. This may be the time for spirits to rise again before the plunge...

Day three - Here is where the adventure really begins - early in the day it will start to rain, and the current of the river will have gradually increased so that in the evening the hobbits will lose control of the raft and be unable to get to shore for the night. The raft will crash on some rocks after nightfall. The hobbits may not be fully reunited until morning.

Please note:

1.) SAVES do need to contain a short explanation of what you intend to put in your post, so that other gamers can post around you.

2.) SAVES will be removed from the game after 48 hours. After that, you can post to the Discussion thread and asked for your post to be moved where it fits in.

3.) Please don't put 'reasons for editing' on the game posts. If others need to know the reason you edited - then put the reason on the Discussion Thread.

Thanks!
