Only for purely selfish reasons that if there is a big time jump I would need a new character or work out why mine is still there. If I were playing a local rather than a traveller it wouldn't be an issue for me. I don't expect others to be bothered about that and the fact is actually not a lot is happening.

So not major concern. I was merely going to check and post a reminder of where we left off to help Foley decide if another time shift were necessary to give a clear start. From what I recall it isn't needed beyond a hour or so to allow conversations that some of us have trapped ourselves in to be assumed to have concluded "off screen" if their interlocutors choose not to return.

I also thought it might be helpful to remind ourselves of the historical context. I realise I am more obsessive about that sort of thing than most but since it is a pre- War of the Ring situation it is a bit disconcerting if characters turn up who are the envoys of King Elessar, which happened before the last time shift.
So I was only trying to be helpful not to cramp your style....
