Everyone

Let me draw your attention to post #2 of the Discussion Thread - HERE

Link #7 on that site has various links to useful info on Rohirric (Anglo-Saxon/Viking) culture, including the links to the Regia Anglorum site; Ravensgard site; Ardalambion languages of M-e site; etc.

Well, a post is up. It's based on an MSN conversation I had with Lhuna a little while back, though some things have been changed as we thought Harreld had stayed behind! Hopefully it's ok with her.

Elempi, what happens next with Javan and Eodwine? Should you post first in that business?

Oh how I love this fuzz and buzz around here! (hopefully that saying conveys only positive connotations as that is what I mean!)

I'm coming forwards with Stigend's short bio and possible other things soon...

Don't let me stop you! If you have an idea, go for it. If you don't, wait if you like.

Groin: Some things you'll want to take into account in your first post: Scarburg hall is a burned ruin, and makeshift tents, a "baker", and temporary everything.

Ah yes, I see I didn't put much detail into the halls description, sorry about that. I'll edit it when I have some time.

I would have an idea if I had time to sit down and think and write, but I don't have time, so I am forced to wait.

Once more, I guess it boils down to whoever is here first with time and something to write, than that's the person to get a post in.

Well, I've done it. I've taken the chances of being slapped on the hand and not only spoken for lord Eodwine, but also moved him. Er...I hope you're not too upset, Elempi. *Foley shrinks into a corner*

Anyway, when I first wrote the post, I had forgotten about Groin's recent one, but I've changed mine now. There should be stuff for other people to post now.

I'll try to reach up with this as well at last.

Btw. elempi, I also find Rowenna quite an interesting character so fear not that she would be sitting idly by as things go on... If Lommy (or someone else) doesn't insist I will take her to write...

Sorry to dump it on you again, Elempi. I really had nothing else to say.

And I'm off tomorrow morning - off out of town. I'll be gone until late Saturday night, and probably won't get a chance to post anything until Sunday afternoon/evening.

Have fun while I'm away.

Am I still in charge of this?

I have only one more thing to add to this Day's action.

Does anybody else have more to write for toDay? If so, how many posts do you expect to write for this Day yet?

If we are to conclude this Day, do those who write here still want to "jump time"? Or do you want to start writing consecutive days like other rpgs?

If you want to jump time, how much time do you want to jump?

How much time and energy do you want to spend on the rebuilding of Scarburg?

If you can - for a while still - it would be appreciated. My next week and half / two weeks look just terrible as I seem to have more work there are hours in the days to do it. After that I'm ready to concentrate on this.

I think the basic idea of jumping time is good for this kind of writing but if we are to introduce some new players here it would be easier for them to join now than after a jump in time.

I'll ask Lommy tomorrow whether she has actually invited anyone of those we have spoken about so as to know should we wait for some people.

There should be no problem in changing the day though if it feels like this day is done.

To your last question: we should probably build it at least a day or two (they need not be consecutive days) just to make the possible new players more comfortable with the others and vice versa.

In case they can't write, I can try to contact one of them outside the 'downs and ask her to give me some answer I can edit into my post.

As for the invitations, I haven't actually invited anyone yet, but might do so. Everybody else, too, if you know people who you think should/could join, invite them. The more there is of us, the merrier it is.

Evening

I went ahead and posted anyway. I can always add into the beginning of my post if anybody wants to insert anything.

It is official, Gwathagor said he'll come and check our thread out once he is done at the Golden Perch.
