I was just thinking of referring to those not present on any given Day (Mith on Day1 at least, Gil on Day2) as being our scouts to check the wilderness around us. Is that okay with you people?

I completely agree with you, Nogrod, and to "warm up my own soup" a little bit, I already thought about the way of referring to those who are absent in a very similar way. So I suppose other people will be fine with that...

In the end I decided to let the opening narration more "vague", so characters are not named in particular (though you who are mentioned should find yourselves in that), so you may consider it a roleplaying-aspect and include introducing yourselves in the posts, (and things like asking "hey you over there, what's your name?") I think at least you have something to head for in your posts, which is I think handy on Day 1. Later of course, you'll be already known by the names.

And Mith, if you read this and some way happen to come to participate yet this Day, I leave on yourself the narration, you may say you returned from the hunt as your introduction and normally play then.

Others, have fun!

OK since noone has bailed me out I will play but don't expect much today ...

Dad is OK .. he had perhaps a TIA but possibly a trapped nerve (complicated) ... but they didn't discharge him until eleven and I didn't get in to work til 10:30 since I had ot take a letter to his GP and get a prescription made up blah blah ..so I ma shattered and I will have to make up time at work then hopefully get to meet the old family friend ... so I will get a token post up... I will try to vote but I won'thave much time to make a careful study. However once today is safely over you can expect more if I survive.

thanks for the support - it is greatly appreciated.

Love

Mith

Thank God for that! I hope he recovers quickly. Glad to see you back, mum, and I hope you do get to play properly.

Just a question on the way of doing things. I have used two quotes in my last post. Is that okay or should we use quotes differently?

Like... (the example is stupid but I'm only trying to show the way of doing it differently if the quotes are not good ideas for an RPG-style of playing).

Nogrod stood up and said:

"One thing that struck me lately was when I remembered Legate's discussions from the morning. I'm pretty sure that he was contradicting himself when he said: "Do not look for any hints in the narrations... I will put some there."
I'm pretty much secure he's Mîm and we should get rid of him. Or then I'm totally wrong and he deserves my apologies."

With that Nogrod nodded to the others around him and sat back again.

I apologize for not giving a notice to you, some RL trouble got in the way

Narration coming up in several minutes, then I'll explain more and answer eventual other questions - not delaying things now with it.

Shastanis Althreduin · 06-27-2007, 03:45 PM

Y'know, I think not posting at all on the first day works better for me, because every game I've been in here, people have called me suspicious for my first game post.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 06-27-2007, 03:50 PM

Okay, now I was about to praise you players for respecting DL even though I wasn't posting it, now I have to retract this a little bit, but never mind, these posts can be kept. They are not undermining the narration, if anything, so it's okay. After all, deadline was not officially announced then; it's my fault. Just to explain this, I ended unplannedly and unexpectedly stuck down in town, which in one way I could have thought about as a possible danger, though on the other hand I thought to be here enough time before the DL to put up the narration.

Nevertheless, thanks to all who respected the DL and thanks if you waited here till the narration was put up; I promise I'm not going to make the same mistake again. Tomorrow's start of the day will be at proper time and marked by a proper narration. (In this way, I'd like to ask all those with Nightly activities to send me their PMs at least one hour before the start of the day, so that the narration can really be put up in time. Thanks.)

I think you players answered the question for yourselves. It is nice to have it without using the "quote" function if you can, but especially in the last minutes, this cannot be done easily. So unless you are forced to, you may try to avoid it; but in the last moments, when you are in a hurry, many things are forgiven

Gil or anyone who would be going to be absent - please could you post it here on this thread before you will, just as confirmation that you indeed will be absent, and including the information how long? Because I'd like to put that to the narrations as well, and I'd like to have it confirmed and know about the time of your departure/eventual return.
