Yay! People are posting! I'm so excited. I tried to write a post last night but couldn't get ANYTHING written. It was one of the worst cases of writer's block that I've ever had. I think it has to do with my stress level last night.

Okay, thank'ee, LMP! I have posted, so now you can repost yours (looked really interesting, as far as I saw

). Although I just realised that maybe that was for naught if Nogrod wants to anyway insert some mid-info about the past weeks before my post. But whatever, that can be solved later. Or maybe he can even post it later, since LMP's post isn't really talking about Scarburg itself, so the events happening meanwhile can be posted after it, and the older post inbetween deleted.

Anyway, going to finish reading this thread and all and then I can also comment, if there is still something to comment on, related to the game development...

Okay, I think there's not much more to add, I think the plan is very good now as it is, like I already said.

Maybe we should hold a short genberal discussion about it even here? How will Wynflaed fit in the household, How about Aedre & the other children, how about the soldiers; Coen, Hilderinc?)

And as for this, I think Hilderinc will blend in fairly well, as can be seen from his character: he had served many masters, and in many different environments, and if anything, he is very moderate person. Where others (all these Scyrrs and hotheads) might be a bit more aggressive or grumpy or rambling, he will be quiet and avoiding problems, and if they look like threatening the situation too much, he might try to even calm the situation down, if it is in his authority and power. And I think the common soldiers will eventually (more or less) blend in too: after all, they are just soldiers, and have to obey the orders. In time, you get mostly used to anything. So it should be, at least relatively, calm and unproblematic, and we can merrily await how conditions change after Eodwine's arrival

Good, good, good...

My apologies, but due to matters of urgency in RL I have not being able to do as much as I would have liked to - or thought I was able to.

I need to pass my checking of the situation & plans with the renovations and stuff like that for tomorrow. So I will fill my save then (hopefully within 24 hours, about).

So especially lmp, if you can hold your horses in not describing vividly in your next post how the Mead Hall looks like in comparison to what he remembers it when he last saw for that much? I mean not going in too much detail, that is, untill you see my post tomorow.

Others can freely comment on any of their posts that those had been laboursome days (the month we jumped), as they had to really make an effort to get ready for winter and to house everyone inside in decent locations. And with the king's supplies they really had materials to do things.

And sure you lmp can say it has changed...

I think with the numbers we currently have at Scarburg they really should have made some real advancement, making it if not ready but at least livable and usable in all the Hall's major functions (kitchens, water-supplies, waste-issues, housing, decent main hall, stables & other farmsteads...).

Yes, I didn't want to describe Scarburg until I knew what has happened, so I'm happy to wait.
