Outracing the Flames Discussion Thread

[Folwren]

Oh dear me. The problems are thick, aren't they? *sigh* I'm dreadful sorry for have caused such confusion.

I think that Maeggaladiel's post needs to go before Undome's and Arry's. I stuck my save up because I thought we were going to be jumping immediately from that evening to the next morning. However, it doesn't look like we are. So, unless anyone else thinks I'm wrong, and in which case, I should defenitely be told so, I don't mean to dictate - Maeggaladiel's post would probably be best put in my Save. That will put it, I think, where it needs to be. After Pio does that, Maeggaladiel will be able to delete the original post.

Originally posted by Tevildo:
1. Did you want to have Dorran slip out of camp immediately and talk with you now?

2. Did you want him to volunteer to take the first watch and talk with you later as the camp settled down for the night?

3. Also, I've noticed that Maeggaladiel says that Athwen is still talking to Fion so I don't think you would be talking to Dorran at the same time. If that is so, maybe we should go with option #2?

Whtever you decide is fine; tell me and I will follow along. To cover all our bases, I've put up a save. Either I can use it to respond to your earlier post (the save which is still blank now), or volunteer to take first watch and start patrolling the perimeter of camp so we can run into each other later.

1. No, I don't believe I did want him to slip out immediately and those two talk then. . . I was actually planning on waiting until things quieted down, the others were sleeping, and the two of them had a chance to talk without others being suspicious.

2. Yes, that's one thing I had in mind. (The other is if we decided to keep it for the next day, but we don't have to.)

3. If we move Maeggaladiel's post up to my empty and unecessary save, it should put it where it needs to be. He answers Athwen's question and they talk until everyone comes in for dinner and they start talking about if they should join groups and whatever else is in Undome's and Arry's post.
After that is discussed a little bit, I believe everyone decides to bed down for the night. Dorran takes first watch (this could be covered in your Save) and in that time, somehow or other, Athwen can join him.

Now, Nogrod, what exactly were you planning? Were you going to start your post the following morning? In my opinion, that would be best. Tevildo could cover in his post everyone going to bed and Dorran taking first watch, and I believe that would be all that was necessary.

Would that work everyone? Tevildo, in his Save, has everyone go to bed, and the first watch commence, and then Nogrod, in his next post, get us moving on the next morning?

Post in in a minute. Gives room to Tevildo, but describes the night and the waking up... The last little paragraph is about studying Fion's situation. That I can drop out easily, if you want things to start differently...

Maybe someone else puts us on the road?

EDIT: I have now put in my post to minimize the possibilities for misunderstandings. But that notwithstanding, my earlier questions about you others possibly disliking something in my post are still valid (#654), and I will change them according to your wishes. Especially the scene with Brand, I'm hoping to get genuine "Brand-comments" on the thread from Arry...

EDIT2: I totally agree with Folwren about changing the place of Maeggaladiel's post.

[Maeggaladiel]

I also agree with putting my post in Folwren's save. Reading over things, it does seem a bit out of place, and it really messes with Athwen and Dorran's stuff. If you guys would prefer, I could just delete it altogether. Fion doesn't really do or say anything incredibly important to the storyline, other than the fact that he forgives the Wulfham group for hitting him with a rock.

I'll leave that decision up to you guys, though.

I don't think it should be deleted, just moved.

But maybe the last sentences, concerning Raedwald & Brand talking, could be deleted then, as they are quite outreaching to the future - if the stuff is moved backwards?

[Arry]

I won't ask you to edit, as I really wish to move this game along.

But for future reference - please, no one is to act or speak for my character.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've asked Pio to do some moving of posts. Here is what was done:

Maeggaladiel's post was split - the first part going into Folwren's SAVE (post#286). The last comment of the post was inserted into my post (#288) to show Fion's positive state of mind about the two groups going on together.

---

Nogrod's post was split. the part of it dealing with what is prior to the watch being started is in Maeggaladiel's post space (#289). The rest was left in place to follow Tevildo's SAVE.

Folwren and Tevildo

Please use Tevildo's SAVE (#290) for your discussion, or the start of a discussion that can continue as we ride.

Folwren - please leave your posts for that SAVE on the Discussion Thread and either Pio or Child of the 7th Age will transfer them as you request.

[Nogrod]

Thanks Arry for all your trouble, moving these posts around!

And sorry, won't happen again.

I probably tried to cover a little too long timespan with one post and got a bit carried away by the storyline I came up with. But anyhow: now we are up and ready to go, I think?

So everythings ok.?
(Please you others, whose characters I've somewhat used, inform me about things to be corrected...)

Yes, sir. I think that's how Tevildo and I had decided on carrying on the conversation. That way we can have the talk but not hold up the game, like we did in Red Flows the Sirranon that one time. (I always mis-spell that river's name, you know?)

We shall be moving on soon then? I'm looking forward to it, definitely.

Folwren,

My part of the post is up. Do you want to go ahead and put your part on the discussion thread so Child or Pio can transfer it over?

Oh, no! Don't delete it. I like it. I can move it up. But first, do you want to take Nogrod's suggestion and change the part about Brand and Raedwald talking? After you edit your post, I can copy and paste it onto my save, and then you could delete your post. How's that sound?
