Heck knows how long my little verbal quirks will last. Like typing accents, i suspect that they might peter out after a few posts. We shall see.

I believe you did I hate it when that happens, but someone's gotta be last!

Anyhow, I was intending that Ailurin had run back into the abdite fortress after having spotted the figure, but I wasn't particularly clear about that, so my bad definitely.

Also, again my bad, the Sapphire guard can't see too much out of their abdite fortress, it's largely covered in lichens and shrubs and a bit of dirt so as to blend in with the rest of the tundra - it'd stick out horribly otherwise. They have a few "windows" of clear spots.

Anyhow, I can definitely work with Ailurin and Dimble hiding in the tundra, so no worries!

[edit: I'm not sure how Cochinell is talking to Ailurin, since I was under the impression that they were relatively far away from the fortress and hidden to boot. So.... I'm going to hold off posting until I'm sure what's going on]

It wasn't your post Lady - that was fine, and it gve us a good chance for introductions.

What I was pointing out was that there was bunnying, both of NPCs and player characters, both of which are against the rules. People ie players kind of need to be careful in the character interactions, and it has kind of ninja'd other characters out of a proper intro.

What we could do is have Space delete his post perhaps (sorry!!!) and have it that Ailurin was sent back out after Dimble and the rest are still in the fort. That way everyone can still have their intros?

Any other thoughts?

I'd be perfectly happy to have the whole lot deleted, back to the beginning. It seems much more sensible to wait inside before leaping out to confront/meet the oncoming figure.

And I can already tell that this set of rules is going to take some serious getting used to. It's been a while since I last played an RPG, but when I did NPCs were basically common property, and writing dialogue for other PCs was standard operating procedure. A big part of the fun was dealing with what the other players handed you. So, I'm sorry for "bunnying", and I'll try to avoid it in future. It just seems weird to me not to.

Actually, now that we've go this discussion present, I would support going back to the beginning and letting everyone get a second shot. You're welcome to delete my post if that is necessary, Lady.

Normally, I'd just recommend post editing, but since the gun has been rather thoroughly jumped and the majority of us are leaning towards a clean restart, I'll vote for a clean restart as well.

It'll probably be easier for everyone to get in their introduction and character interactions as well.

Will we be starting off from the Sapphire Fortress this time?

If that's how everyone feels, that's fine with me, but I'm going to leave it as is until Res.Fool gets on here to weigh in on the issue and has a chance to save his already made posts for later if he'd like.

lol... ah, my first foray into rpg politics! (j/k)

@Lady - In the games I've been in before, I've found that the safest way to set a scene is to be just a bit more specific when answering the whens and wheres. You don't have to specifically state the exact location of each character, but a comment like "everyone else is at the base as Ailurin returns to report what he's seen" Gives people a more structured idea of where people are, and at what point in the timeline they're starting.

@ Tin - Typically in any RPG, the DM is considered the Narrator and gets all the fun privileges that go with such a title, whereas the players are in control only of their specific character. One character can definitely have a huge impact on the events of a story, but in the end it's only the GM that gets to have autonomus control. That said, I did think your post was very cool, even if it did wind up writing the rest of us into a very awkward situation




Learning curves, woo!

I'm all for a fresh start, 'cause even though I really like where the current thread is going it does make things a lot harder for the rest of us to slip into the action.

/second sunshine's first comment. It's usually necessary to be fairly proscriptive about things like this, unless you want the game to go off the rails. It might do so anyway, but there's less chance of that if you're fairly specific.
