So, the teams would be fighting against each other? For instances, Thornden and Eodwine would fight against Balvir and Lithor? That might be interesting. In a sense, it would at first be like two individual bouts going on. And then, once one contestant on one team was knocked down, it would be two against one, and that person would quickly be overcome. Is this right? It sounds interesting. People could have all sorts of opportunity to come up with strategies or something.

I think if you'd rather do that and can't think of any other quick way that you could write it, then I wouldn't mind. I'm just speaking for myself.

By the way, thanks for your help on the issue I PMed you about.

Possibly... there might be room for some heroism as well... we'd need to see what the dices say.

But you got the idea right.

Wilcred has taken over the leading of the Q-staff game from Lithor and announced the general rules.

You have something like 24 hours to post before the first matches. Unless I'm more busy tomorrow I hope I am at the moment. But I should be able to post the first matches tomorrow around this time.

Meanwhile I'm (sleeping & going to work) awaiting for your suggestions for the mechanics of the game.

Recalling business...

Groin, don't bother editing. I'll post something, but Thornden doesn't have to say anything more to Erbrand. He's got plently to think about which I can write on.

It was a great post.

Harreld could not quite stay out of it. Let's assume that he heard Erbrand's final jibe - er - I mean words. Feel free, Foley, to write some appropriate words for Harreld if you want to have him for Thornden to talk to.
