Gwathagor... which day are you writing? The day after the day I and Valier are currently writing? I'm slightly confused...

Thinlómien · 11-05-2007, 05:10 AM

Haha, Tansy's a bit neurotic... well, they say characters develop as you get to play them... so it seems...

Neurotic? Just mostly responsible with an irresponsible streak....

Ok so we are on to the next day, I am sure Tansy and Bunny will have some planning to do, but we need to get more characters involved. Since Brown is almost in Buckland, we should have Hugo, Mira and Rudy post getting them on their way to meet up with Bunny and Tansy, then we can go to see Peony for some supplies. Micheal, we will meet a bit later on I believe. So lets see what we can get going. Don't want people getting bored waiting to post...

Who wants to start? I had better not; I have a tendency to put too many words in the mouths of other characters and get carried away and then I have to clean up afterwards; so if Boro &/or Findy can post before I do, that would help put reasonble limits on my enthusiasm.

I have a tendancy to have the same problem LMP

Editing as I just thought of something new...

Finduilas and I, seem to both agree that Mira is excited about going on the adventure and Rudy (being the protective older brother) goes along to watch out for her. So, maybe it would be best for Finduilas to start off and, I'll have Rudy follow, then Hugo? Does that sound good to everyone?

I'd say, wouldn't it be better to keep a the story a little... consistent? I don't know how it works normally in the RPGs here, but when Brown's story does not have now the same place, at least the time could be kept the same (you know the Aristotelian principles of drama...). If you write something, you can after all save it somewhere in your computer and post it later when the next day starts. It could otherwise happen that suddenly we hear nothing about Brown for many posts because he'd be so ahead in time compared to the other characters. When the characters are all together, then of course nothing like this could occur, but in this phase when most of the characters need to be introduced yet, at least the timeline should be held the same for all the characters, despite they are at different places (Shire does not have several timezones).

Just my opinion, though - it's not my RPG and my character is not yet present, but I'm saying what I think. If someone comes and wants to read the RPG later, he can be a little confused.

Valier · 11-05-2007, 08:18 AM

Yes I agree the posting is a little out of whack. I will see if we can get Pio to rearrange them a bit to put Lommy's post after mine.

I would like to introduce new characters this day. I guess since Brown is almost to Buckland, we can have him. I also want to get the family in there, or at least one of them to start with. Let me know how you guys want this to go. If not I will just tell someone to post...

Gwathagor · 11-05-2007, 09:42 AM

Sorry! First time and all. I'll take mine out and put in back in later.
