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

Bêthberry · 05-04-2004, 11:51 AM

A heroic tale, well and truly told. Congratulations and thank you to everyone involved for stellar work.

I have closed the game thread and will later today rearrange the order of some posts as Cuthalion has requested me to do. I will leave the discussion thread open for several days should anyone wish to post final comments.

Thank you also, Piosenniel, faithful reader, for your support and advice in the final days of the game.

Aman, Pio, Bethberry, those are some hard farewells to follow...

I have little to say, other than that I'm glad I was invited to play this game and got to write with such great story-tellers. We put together a story that isn't just about the movements of an entire army or the happenings of a group, it was about the lives and conflicts (internal and external) of individuals. It was a real experience, I must say.

Thanks to you all, Cuth, Maika, Aman, Daniel, and Durelin.

Thank you to Pio, reminding me (for I know the thought was in the back of my mind) that RPGs are not just for the writers, it's also for the readers.

Thanks to Bethberry, for seeing us through to a successful end and not giving up on us.

Great job, everyone!

It was lots of fun, everyone. And this was one great game - a real challenge!

I'm actually happier with this ending for Snyd, rather than the one I had intended before, where he would return to save Fid's life, only to die...

Well, I wish to say thank you to everyone, as well. And I believe this is due: *applause*

I object to Archer's last post...this is NOT how it is to end!! Arthain is not to die and I want no dialogue for Melost other than what I wrote. I have some specific edits I want to that post. Please do not archive it in this condition. Bethberry, can you PM me so that I can tell you my edits?

Amanaduial the archer · 05-05-2004, 11:37 AM

Cuthalion - may I ask what it is that you are unhappy with? You see, when you told me the original plan, you said both of them would die. Of course, maybe things have changed over the year-and-a-bit since then, but I would appreciate it if you would enlighten me as to where I have gone wrong. Would you mind PMing your suggested edits to me as well please?

I will let you two gamers resolve this between yourselves via PM and will step in only if you cannot reach an agreement.

However, I will point to the Rohan rules for gaming in The Golden Hall which stipulate that characters are 'owned' and run by the gamers who write them and that games are 'owned' by all the gamers who write for them and not only by the Game Manager. Role playing at the Barrow Downs is cooperative.

Archer has agreed to my edits for her final post.

Btw, Bethberry...if characters are "owned" by their players, why then did you ask Pio to take over Vlad without Maika's permission?
