With the midsummer-thing and leaving to Berlin on the 27th I will be too much away to play...

Pity, pity... we'll miss you. Enjoy the fests and Berlin, then...

And Gil-Galad, it's good to see you here! Glad to hear you have no worries so you can maximize your performance in the game

Are we still carrying on with the roleplaying? Should we have already PMed our mini-character bios?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 06-17-2007, 11:36 PM

Well, thus far most people haven't expressed their opinions on that. But if you want, you may post me your mini-character bio if you have it.
Concerning this, I'd like people to decide here, because I think it's not much good if we end in some vacuum where half of the people roleplay and the other half wants to lynch them for that.

Hmm...well, I don't mind roleplaying for the first several posts as I think it's a good way to get the game going. But for the next Days, I'd rather not since in the end it only seems to cause confusion.

But I can go either way. I'm pretty flexible.

Btw, since we still only have 11 players, I'm guessing we aren't starting tomorrow?

Hurry and sign up people...I want to start playing already!

Okay, let's do it this way if everyone agrees.

Everyone send me some brief role description (as noted above in the 2nd post), it will be used in the narrations and you decide how much you roleplay in the game. Those who do not send me a role description only risk that I may portray them, if they are described in the narration, in a way they won't like. You really don't have to do anything much detailed if you do not want to, but who chooses to, surely will not pity and may feel becoming a part of the story of Túrin

Now concerning the sign-ups, I hope we have not stopped on a dead point. I know a village can be even small (and it will be quite a change against the massive villages we faced several times before), but still, 11 people is too few. Don't tell me no one will find a way to participate! Where are all these folks like SpM? tgwbs? Mith? Or any roleplayers who would like to have a little fear of unknown combined with it?

Wow! 1,000th post!

I must agree with Brinniel - that's usually how it was in the games in which I've played. Once accusations are flying around, and not the random ones, the roleplaying aspect of the game is quite promptly dropped.

That's a great idea, Legate. I'll send my mini-bio as soon as I can.

Congratulations on your thousandth post!

I think there has been one game where the role-playing aspect got pretty far - not all the posts but on Day4 or something most of the posts were still in kind of in-character (that was Glirdy's game). It was no-nonsense but actual playing through from within the roles by everyone (well, most of us). I really enjoyed that one and would like to have another try of that here... And we really tried to make a difference there... and fought fiercely against any lazy ideas...

So I mean that we should avoid posting things like: "hi, I'm the weird one from X and doobie-doo...". That is a bad post... meriting a lynch in the first Day I say. That kind of an attitude to the posting would make the game very unentertaining indeed. In Glirdy's game everyone made their best and articulated their best arguments within the framework of the character they had. And it was fun.

So let's try it for real and play it in the middle of the summer and play it with quality!

Try it, You'll like it!

PS. A bio coming hopefully sooner than later... but coming.
