Okay, but I thought XK said I am allowed to have the dog just as long as he pees over board. But anyway we'll see when it comes to it. Slo-Mo will be stealing peoples food and stuff just like greyhounds usually do. ![]() ![]()

It is "on deck" and not to the captain's cabin where we're supposed to go? CC and I both took it that way.
About the Nurv-Flannery thing, as Captain, you don't really need to cater to my "special needs". Nurv just has to deal. Or you can be nice. It's up to you. I can (hopefully) play my character versitily (word?). ^.^

There, now everyone's on deck. I just don't think any of the characters are layabouts. Except, if someone does want their character still in bed, there's enough ambiguity in my post for that to work.

Minor quibble here... and not to pick on you Chrys but I'm going to use your last post as an example.
This: faligorn was the last to rise, crawlign out of his bed, he noticed everyone else just leaving hey, g'morning guys! he said hurrying to catch them up, as they walked on deck what are our jobs do we think? he went pn Would be much more readable if speaking and action were on different lines... Faligorn was the last to rise, crawlign out of his bed, he noticed everyone else just leaving. Faligorn: Hey, g'morning guys! He said, hurrying to catch them up, as they walked on deck. Faligorn: What are our jobs do we think? Easy peasy! ^_^ Oh and look, there's minor punctuation additions... sorry to be a patronizing git there, but it does look nicer don't ya think? ![]() I doesn't take loads more effort. And with such formatting, less typing is required to explain your character's actions, so it is actually easier! ![]()

Even though a lot of time can pass in real time, not a lot has passed in game time. I forget sometimes. But in this case, probably only about 10 mins or so have passed in the game since we were woken up and assembled on deck.
One other comment, which is also no biggie, is there's probably some topics that us 'sailor' ranked players don't want to godmod, ie. our orders and other highly captain-y things. That's why activity is slow ATM, it's not because we're not interesting. ![]() But hey, there will be ups and downs in activity in any RPG so no worries there too. Just a few thoughts from the verbose elf Nurvingiel. ![]() ![]()

I said I want everyone on deck at noon tomorrow. here. I also said Flannery, get yourself below decks before the light comes up. this here. Consequently this meant that before we all went to bed it was dawn. So getting up at the crack of dawn shouldn't have happened unless no one slept, or we all slept through a whole day. Certainly since I made a note of it in my post and specified that we should meet at noon. On Sicirus' god-mod. (Don't worry ![]() ![]() Oh yeah. Tiny.... Tiny, dear...don't leave unless you're dismissed. It won't be pretty. Remember on a ship there is a chain of command. You may not be involved in much work on deck, but you still must respect those who you work for. ![]()

*raises hand* That would be my fault, captain, I forgot the tiny detail of noon and rang everybody out of bed at dawn. Maybe we can just pretend dawn is good as well since everybody wrote a waking-up post?

Though part of the chain of command, the cook is a sort of special position. Of course she still answers to the Captian and mates, but it would be acknowledged that her working hours are completely different from everyone else's. She will pretty much have to spend her entire day 1. cooking 2. washing dishes 3. preparing the next meal. Maybe it won't be so bad to cook for 14 or so hungry pirates... or not...
![]() About time... maybe we should just all go edit our posts, because our characters would have understood what you meant. In hindsight, I guess it shoulda been obvious that we would have to get up at the crack of dawn when we had been in a brawl fairly late at night. Heh... ![]() EDIT: I cross-posted with you Eärniel. Actually Sicirus had dawn time posts too... I'll just unedit my posts. I like your solution better. ![]() EDIT2: I'm very confused. ![]()

It is okay Eärniel. I saw you posted morning, but you didn't say that it was still dark like Sicirus did!
Anyway, do not worry. Please. ![]() ![]() And Nurv. Yes, Tiny will cook a lot, but she cannot just walk off and do her own thing. In future when everything is going on normally on the ship, it is likely she will not need to have orders from me. But this early on she doesn't know where the galley is, where we keep food stocked, about the room...anything. So consequently...my upcoming post is going to knock her back in line. ![]()

Hey, question: is the Room you spoke of in your long post locked?

Yes. It is locked, barred, bolted and everything.
You cannot get in, and I do not jest. I will kill anyone who tries to open it and endanger everyone else. ![]()

*hands in the air* Wasn't planning on trying. Was just wondering if one was supposed to refer to it that way, as I've seen before.

Oh dear...I just re-read my post thinking why have they all gone wrong...but that was my bad! I meant to post in an understandable manner (
![]() Luthien is not on the tour, she knows her way. Sicirus, I gave ethuiliel a positon. She's a nipper. And no one worry, you are yet to be shown what your jobs are. I don't expect anyone to know yet. ![]() And CC...good, stay away. ![]()

Yes, I think you all are.
EXK, frankly, I'm not that privvy myself to all that really happens on board a ship, in fact I know zilch of it. ![]() Not that I'm saying that introducing and explaining in full is bad, mind you. This might be easier, but it's just a suggestion. I'm just.... itching to get out in sea and get the plot moving. ![]()

We could post our own training in some sort of reasonable way. I have some ideas about what might happen to the Count and I. But I had been sailing before, which makes it easier. I think there's a lot of flexibility here for posting in a lot or little detail.
EDIT: I took it that Luthien is teaching the Count and I, but editing is possible... EDIT2: See the giant godmod and despair! Bwahahaha... ![]()

I have no idea how I managed to type N in place of R.
![]() I mean... I meant to... because you will experience pain! Despain! That's right... ![]()

Right. I never intended to go into great detail .What Nurv has written is fine, but she *does* know some things about sailing. Those who don't do not need to worry. It isn't important to go into great detail on everyone's tasks. ![]() ![]() Quote:
