Morsul I liked the post. That's how I pictured Samuel. Much more twisted and evil then his father or his brother-if that is at all possible.

Child-Does this mean we start? I have no idea what I am doing since this is my first game. Can you give me some insight? Thanks!

Ok... I have a rookie question... Can I engage another character in conversation during my post? Or do I need to pose any questions at the end of my post?

Starkat and Morsul - Generally it's okay to include another character in your post for conversation, as long as you stay true to the other player's character.

I'm excited for this to get going! Hi, everybody! Especially Morsul and Perky, my, er... Harold's sons. Looking forward to RPG'ing with y'all!

Indeed I am looking forward to my first RPG, especially since Firefoot and Perky are in it with me, and I know them well from other threads. So it is good I have friends to help me along the way, that isn't to say I don't like the rest of you I just know Firefoot and Perky a little bit better. Oh you know what I mean, right?

I apologize for not being on and doing my duty. We had a small family emergency yesterday. Not to worry. Everyone is fine.

Posts in this order please:

Good guys:
Arien-1st
Starkat-2nd
Pippin-3rd
Hama-4th
Himaran-5th

Bad guys:
Firefoot-6th
Perky Ent-7th
Morsul-8th

I want everyone to know that the way I chose to put you in this order in the beginning has nothing to do with favortism or anything like that. I read over your posts carefully and what you wrote using the time was what I chose upon.

Let the Game Begin!

-Crystal Heart-

A family emergency? I'm very sorry to hear that. But if everyone is ok, then it's all good. I've been having a serious family emergency for the past 2 years, but it's over now. Thank God! Anyways, alright, we got the order, now pio needs to put them up and open the thread! Let's go!


Oh, and one more question, what should we start writing about. Is there any plot change, or do we keep doing what we were doing in our first post?

Here is the first section of the game outline:

1. Sandrina is at the Inn and remembers who she is somewhat.

Forms the company.

They head off towards the estate hoping to find the family.

Harold and his sons have been living at the estate for many months.

Harold hears that a band with Sandrina is coming and since there are only three of them, they begin to pack up and leave, swearing revenge.

The bad guys have kept an eye on the parents and already know where they are in the woods.

The good guys do not know where the parents are. (One Week)

I see the order of the first posts. Do I wait for Perky to post before I posts again? Do we stay in that order?

Morsul, that's just the order for the first post! You can post whenever you want! Today, Tomorrow, a week from now! You have two weeks!

2 weeks is the time a poster has to get a post in before his character is declared up for grabs (if the writer hasn't posted a reason on the Discussion thread, that is, and given the ok for someone to carry their character along until they return).

2 weeks without posting or notifying the game owner you will be away means your character can be killed off by the game owner or given to someone else to write for.

We prefer, in the Shire, that gamers post at the very least - once a week.

What we would like to see is gamers posting at least twice a week to the game.

When gamers are absent from the game often and without notice then they are put on the Shire list for infrequent posters and will not be recommended to be put on the Rohan List of players.

Also, as I touched on by PM to Morsul - it is considered poor form to follw up a post by yourself with another one (unless you are playing another completely different character, that is.).

Thanks!

Firefoot asked a very good question that I do believe needs to be addressed.

He was wondering how many other bad guys come after us and who is playing them. Is it only just the three.

They are carrying characters. They won't have much importance until they try to kill Sandrina, my character. Thus, you three "bad guys" have full reign of how many you hire and so forth. All I ask is that you three discuss about your hired hit men so there is no confusion.

Thanks Crystal. And btw, I'm a girl.

In that case, this is what I'm thinking: those other men (remember the ones I had Arthur bring to the meeting in the First Posts?) will go. There are 3 or 4 of them. They may pick up some other men (mercenaries?) to help them. All told, there would be about 5 or 6 men going after Sandrina and co. Does this sound all right to you (mostly Crystal, Perky, and Morsul)? I will put up a save, and it will be filled within 12 hours.

Yeah! Looks good. I think we should have a couple of people from Harold's meeting stay and fight, and have the rest run away like cowards. It's would sorta be like the Death Eater thing from Harry Potter 4! Then, maybe we can pay mercinaries with the land that we'll seize from the cowards. Just a thought, but I'll also get a post up today


PS. Pio, that's what I meant when I was saying two weeks. I didn't mean to say "you can lay back for two weeks without penalty", my wording was wrong!

firefoot, perky what should sam do...I want him to return to the estate seeking forgiveness but that would also kind of screw up the game a bit but he really is against running away too, so I dont know what I should make him do

Morsul - forgiveness for what? Eventually Sam will end up leaving whether he wants to or not, but it might make the game more interesting if he stayed against it.

Crystal - no problem. Lots of people confuse me for a guy.

Morsul-actually go with that. go with the whole wanting forgiveness thought and wanting to stay to face his punishment. have sam fight against the idea. it'll add for a thicker, more interesting plot. I like the idea. Please run with it.

*suspensful music* Everything is looking good! I have it set so that ten men will be left at the estate, and some of those will probably desert.

Morsul, if you want Sam to approach Harold, now would be a good time. He is up at the house, not doing much. I wasn't sure if that was what you meant when you said "head towards the estate". *Chants "fight, fight, fight, fight".* Anyhow... being a baddie is a bunch of fun!
