OOOh interesting..... sorry for delay -WW5

Sunday? Sorry

My last post can be changed. No pressure people. No pressure.

Let me suggest the following course to end this RPG:

1. The much reduced refugees (sans king and entourage) makes their way to the Elven havens.

2. They are attacked by some enemies - lotsa injuries and deaths.

3. The survivors make it to Mithlond.

Here is where I think ideas diverge. Some players want to drown in sea. I for one intend for Saurreg and some of his men to remain and form the nucleus of the embryonic Rangers of the north. There are players whom would obviously want to quit this game as soon as possible, which is sad but understandable. Let's have three "fall out" exits.

exit 1 = During the attack by the enemy on the snowfields.
exit 2 = At Mithlond
exit 3 = on the sinking ship

I propose to those whom want to leave ASAP to stay on for just alittle while and take the first exit. Players who have left without any instructions should have their characters destroyed there also. Exit 2 is meant for Saurreg (Belegorn) and the others who wish to remain in Arnor. Exit 3 would be used to tie up the game.

Comments?

Personally for me it is not "an as soon as possible " thing... more that I want a good end rather than it to just die. The splinter group works better for my char.

Carthor's gonna stick this one out, as usual. Just depends on whether he's still got that special something with the sword...

So can we start the snowfield phase this week? Let's set a dateline; how about we close the phase by 17 Jul? That will be the end of next week.

Ah, Faerim'll stick with the elves, as per usual

A plea, Saurreg, O Most Mighty Organiser: could we maybe extend it a week longer than that? I will be away from the 13th to the 17th on a Halle (choir) residential course, off doing singing and working far to hard and singing and eating copious amounts of biscuits. And singing. So I'm reliably informed. *blinks* So yes, anyway, I will unfortunately be unable to play. However, I do want to see the end of this game, so could we possibly hang it on for another week and I'll play it to the end?

Hoping this is possible,
-Aman

Well, the dateline for the different phases hasn't been set yet so I you can do what you must but do check in from time to time. Mighty Organiser, hmm...

Mighty Rearranger? Ok, wishful thinking.

We are really going about without a concrete script. But right now we have got to get the RPG back in momentum again.
