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

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?

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?

Bêthberry · 05-06-2004, 12:05 AM

This thread seems to be engendering the kind of comments which tend to be best dealt with in PM and that is a regrettable way to end a noble game.

However, since you raised the question of handling gamer's characters, let me reply generally here, Cuthalion. There are two different cases being talked about. One is the case where a gamer is actively present and participating in the game. The other case is the situation where a gamer has disappeared for long periods of time. This is a different situation in that the gamer is unable or has been unable to continue; the game falters and the responsibility for carrying the character then devolves to the Game Manager and/or Moderator. For fuller explanations, please see the rules for gaming in Rohan in The Golden Hall.

In answer to the particular case of Maika's character, I made no such request without Maika's permission. Very simply, I contacted Pio, Child, and Mithadan about the feasibility of options for ending the game and told them that our discussions were dependent upon my hearing back from you and Maika about your preferences. If you want the particulars, please ask me for them via PM.

I am happy to hear that Aman and Cuthalion have resolved the various questions about how to conclude the game. I will unlock the game thread so the edits can be made.

Sorry, my fault - I thought Bethberry would be changing the post.

Silly of me...

Cuthalion, the edit you specified has been made

Thanks.
