Farael: should you delete your save and write your stuff after Maeggaladiel? The logic would ask you for it - and I too...

I don't think there is a reason to make a save anyhow, if your post will be the one to get us going eg. being the last one? Others write, what they have time to, before you set us on the road again...

Well, I was thinking I'd get the post up by now, as the lab was supposed to take less than an hour. I put up the save just in case whoever wrote next wanted to move on from AFTER the crossing.
After all, that's the idea for a save, the others assume that you will write something and carry on from AFTER what happens in your post. I just wanted to move ahead, but I'll move my save for AFTER Maeggaladiel's post. I just read what I wrote in the save, sorry if I sound a little irritated, it's not at the game but at my lab =D so don't take it personal... but let's move on people!!

But that would defeat the point of the save... just carry on with the story AFTER we are across the river and I'll adapt what I want to write to whatever you add.... that way the story can move on without we having to wait for each other!!

I thought you would be answering that way.

I was just thinking myself, whether you would remember to take care of our little problem with the rope hanging in place between the pulleys after we get over?

Readily available ropes to destroy or to get over with, would be good only for random orc parties... I was kind of thinking, whether someone would have to ride back to cut it, or does your post include handling that one (or some better idea?). So I didn't want to rush, at least with my own post, because of the possibility of Sythric having to get back to cut the rope.



Edit: Before you misunderstand me, I wasn't misunderstanding your well made point about the saves in general. I just thought, that it would not be probable, that you would have come to thought of that problem in the incredible haste we are moving forwards (which still doesn't seem to be translating into any RL action!!! - so we are in a hurry, making half-ready posts, but still getting nowhere in the game...), and thought of Sythric needing to mention it after we get over by your post - before we are on the Wulfhamers (with this speed, it will take two posts...).

If you were considering it, I'll truly appreciate your foresight! (Why I came to think about it: not because of me being very wise, but because I spent a couple of hours today thinking about the ways to get us across, and how to make that crossing secure from all possible follow-ups...)

Save deleted,
Carry on without me, I may or may not post tomorrow but I don't want to get yet another sub-par post up. Sorry for the delay, as I said you were all encouraged to post after my save anyway, but I just can't do this to Osmod. He deserves a good post and I feel that I have been reacting more than writing lately. I'll work on a proper post tomorrow, I'm just fryed tonight.

I will also be busy until tomorrow evening, so little less than 1½ days from now. So write us over anyone. Someone should tell s/he's writing the crossing post, so that there wouldn't be cross-writing, and others might concentrate on different posting.
