Very nicely done Kransha! An intriguing new plot twist, a better view of Kanak beyond the Palace walls, and some more details about Pastia. Wonderful!

Nova: I can truly sympathise -- this game is a bit demanding, but so rewarding! I would like to at least try to stand by the No Save Rule (which I admit, I have chafed against myself from time to time!); it works very well in the Inns, so I think it can work here.

That having been said, I am more than amenable to allowing people to send posts to me for inclusion 'earlier' in the thread. I can paste them into the end of one of my posts, or someone else can do that -- I even think it's possible to insert whole new posts(?).

The reason I wanted to keep saves out of here is not so much to do with "flow" as it has to do with making writing posts after the Save rather difficult. If I want to write a scene in which the King bumps into Tarkan, but I know that there's a Tarkan save above mine, I have a hard time knowing what to write. What if you are preparing a post in which Tarkan goes swimming or something?

But Everyone -- what is our position on Saves to be? If there is a general consensus that we should reinstate the save, then we can do that (although I will be brutal in policing the 24 hour rule for filling them, and you will be expected to give a brief description of what the post will be about). My primary concern here is that I don't want any one writer to feel as though she or he is at some kind of disadvantage, or not able fully to enjoy this game. So let me know what you're thinking!
