Which characters need First Posts for the game submitted - Everyone?

Sorry I missed this. I tried to respond yesterday, but then I had troubles with the forums, and several minutes later I was pulled from the comp, so... Who needs first posts? Well, right now I'm torn between starting the game in the 1590s of the SA, or starting it around 1693, with the everyone responding to and preparing for the threat of Sauron (the very first post of the game would relate a bit concerning the creation of the Rings and such, but the game would jump ahead).

The first option would require first posts only from the Elves of Eregion and the Elves of Lindon, I think. The second option would require first posts from everyone except the Orcs and cameo characters (I think).

The first option could be a bit much; could be a bit early of a start, and could make for a strange transition later. But if it works, it might be very interesting, as long as it works for everyone. The second option would still give us a little setup time, and without what could be an awkward transition (though most likely some kind of *time jump* will be needed to get to the siege itself).

Which would everyone prefer? Please tell me, I need input in my uncertainty.
