Brotherhood, A Story from The Last Alliance: Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Bêthberry · 03-30-2004, 02:38 PM

Cuthalion, Maika, and all the gamers on Brotherhood,

It has been two weeks since the last post on the game and ten days since anyone replied to the Game Manager's suggestions about how to wrap up this game.

It is a good game but it has been running for a year now. Such a slow pace puts great demands on gamers' time committments and also holds back the forum in that it allows little room for new gamers to move into games. This kind of pace does not create a healthy, vibrant forum.

Please respond on the discussion thread as quickly as possible to plan for the game's conclusion. If no one replies within three days, I will lock the game thread and then consider retiring it to Elvenhome, where it can await its fate.

I reply for the sake of continuing this game, although I have already given my initial responce to Cuthalion's question.

The game will still be able to end how it was planned, and it is an ending I like very much - I believe the initial idea was probably for Melost's 'curse' to come true, and for the person Arthain loved most in the world to die in his arms, that person, ironically, being Melost. Vlad and the rest of the outlaws could join the war, to some extent, and it could be Vlad to carry to news of the deaths to Anwanelme, as you wished before: alternatively, the game could maybe end in parallel, with Anwanelme on one side of the story and the battle on the other, ending with the dramatic peak of the two best friends' deaths.

I thought this was the sketchy initial plan - what do you think?

I think Dorlas should die. Die a slow, and painful death, and learn the hard way that war isn't cool.

In any case, I like the idea, but I think Jaheira will follow along if only to be with Vlad. I don't think she'd feel special if he went off and she was left alone and deserted by the former guys. Nope, don't think Jaheira would like that...

I know that the outlaws were all originally going to end up in Lorien, but...how is that going to happen now? It almost seems that Vlad, Snyd, and Jaheira are out of the story...unless Vlad decides to follow Melost and the 'deserters'. I'd like to see the end of this game with you guys...it's been lots of fun.

And Snyd most certainly won't be left alone.

Please forgive the shortness of this post; I will be back to give more input, but I must go to school in a few minutes...

And sorry for the lack of posts lately...
