Scarburg Meadhall Discussion Thread

I'm still too benumbed by Groin's Epic Post of Epic to figure out what to do... plus Wynflaed's been (and indeed has wanted to be) a passive player in the recent council. I'll reread things tonight and see if I can put up anything tomorrow, but for now I have a hunk of work to get done that has been put off too long.

I totally second that. I think I'll sleep on it, see if I come up with any strokes of genius. If not...well, let's see what I can think of before I start with lame posts that say "Lilige is confused and thinks herself superior to those silly locals!" There must be something better, and I'll post when I think of it.

Nogrod, I fully intend to post the beginning of the drills....the problem is that I started writing my post at home last night and then forgot to copy and paste and send it to myself to where I am currently. So...I'm back at square one, for the third time, with this post.

I need to run out and do chores now. I'll try posting later...again....I don't think I've ever had this much difficulty getting a single post on a thread!

I have a suggestion to everyone concerning Groin's last post.

Let us for a short while (well, a few days "RL reckoning" at least) write about things that are not related to what Groin wrote.

The drill can be depicted without Lithor. One just doesn't mention him there (and Erbrand wouldn't have been there anyway as he's a craftsman). Also those wishing to post for the others don't need to pay any notice to what Groin wrote. What he depicts happens in the marshes and it only involves Ginna and Frodides - and Lhuna & Kath have not been around for a while anyway (if you guys come around it is of course your right to decide whether your characteres were there or not). So we can write whatever we wish as no one yet knows what has happened down the marshes - and as we the writers can't be yet sure about what the final result will be.

If Groin is reasonable he will edit the last posts of his a bit and I'd be good with that. I'm not especially crying after Scyld to be honest as I think he was not a man fit to lord Athanar's troops in the first place. So good riddance. But if he's not, then I'm afraid we need to ask for Pio to do some editing. I'd rather see Groin doing it himself but we'll see.

But there are lots of things to do meanwhile...

And let's hope Groin can be made to change his mind about leaving.

Good suggestion, Nogrod. He took the time forward quite a bit in the morning, so I think we can afford doing that.

But I'm curious about what you want changed in his posts? About Scyld being killed? I kind of think that he's not actually dead but Erbrand thought he was...? I don't know. I'd like to see him live.

I wish to discuss that with him first before talking about it openly. But as I said, I have no problems with Scyld gone as he is kind of an odd person to be in lord Athanar's troops in the first place (for how I see lord Athanar he would never had hired such a person - we can of course explain it afterwards like that he was a new recruit who had managed to fool Athanar by playing a more professional and morally straight person). But whatever. That I think is not an issue.

I think it all depends on whether Groin wishes to continue writing this and then wants to take something back - or if he'd live with the consequences (which is hard to see as for manslaughter - or even for an attempt of it - Erbrand would be sent to Edoras to court and so out from the Scarburg anyway - and Lithor would be a deserter and that would probably be handled at Edoras as well...). Other issues, I think, are mendable and small in comparison to Groin's own decisions.
