![]() If you want to make a new character you can meet the character in two places - in the pub, and the street outside, and near the pub, where there is currently a fairly large street fight as explained by Eärniel. ![]() Wow Willow, glad you could post! Sounds like a totally cool plot, right on. I'm up for it. ![]()

All right, I have it figured out.
I am a twitchy, scruffy, beggar-like girl of indiscriminate age who is never in one mind, always two or more or none. I also happen to be your guide(and deck slave or, as I like to call it, "unpaid intern"). Maggie/Willow sent me. Meet you at the ship. ![]()

Okay people. Time out.
As the captain of the ship and the GM of this game I would just like to remind everyone of a few small details.
I am so sorry I had to rant everyone. I just want the game to be fun for everyone. ![]() I expect to get in trouble now for taking things too seriously. ![]()

I think you are being very fair, Miss Captian Miss, and (speaking only for me) I have the highest respect for all decisions in this matter.
Or maybe I'm responding like that because I'm already in servant mode. Interesting character note: Whenever I walk my right heel kicks out about a foot behind me when I pick it up. This is actually true in really life, the cause of it having something to do with disolving shoes. I still haven't lost the limp. Nevermind.

The point is that we intend to play this game a long time, and not let it stumble and grind to a halt before the plot is sufficiently laid out, as so many RPG's sadly enough tend to do. The RPG may know large periods of silence, but it can be picked up again fast afterwards. We intend to bring this story to the eventual end it deserves. So if you're looking for a short adventure, this may not be the game for you. But if you stick with us, you might find it a really entertaining game. Since I became a mod here I've seen, and participated in, many RPG's on the Entmoot. But I can still count the games that got wrapped up succesfully on my fingers. Surprisingly, I managed to participate in most of those and they are the most rewarding experiences too. Games that have a leader, a game master at the helm (no pun intended), last the longest. The point is that you will have to obey certain rules for this game, some will be obvious and frankly to be suspected, others maybe less so. But in return you get a high-quality game that will have some interesting and unexpected turns and twists that will only make the game more enjoyable. Quote:

That was awesome Elfmaster. *cough* I'm bad for in game OOCs so I'll stop now.
![]() ![]() Must... resist... And I am a tad over-posty... but no worries there as long as I can curb my verbose urges eh? ![]() In the larger world of RPGing, dice games always have a game master, who is usually much tougher. And one tiny note on the spelling/formatting... putting effort in this area means your posts will be readable. I can't stress how much I love readable posts. I would love anyone at all who edited a less-than-readable post. ![]()

Erm... I hope I didn't do the wrong thing with my massive amounts of godmodding in my last post (OOCs absent O Captain!
![]() I'm confused though... how many people are below now?

Welcome to the Moot Athena.

EDIT: Having read the game thread that makes a bit more sense now, but perhaps Eärniel or Elfmaster should godmod a bit for us. I don't know about you, but I have no clue what to expect, and we probably shouldn't make our own orders anyway. ![]()

![]() Personally I usually tend to regard the ship as a bit magical in the sense that it's a lot bigger on the inside than it normally would be, considering it's a brigantine and I don't think those are that big ships. I usually picture the inside of the boat like this, but then that's just me: when you go below deck you descend a small stairs. You're in a corridor. Imagine nice wooden bulkheads, maybe with a little art-nouveau carving here and there. In the corridors there are doors left and right of you. Those doors lead to the crew's cabins, one of them to the galley. Frankly, I don't I've ever thought about which is which. Next to the stairs, there's a ladder leading to the cargo bay. Quote:

Thanks for the support guys
![]() Anyway. It's okay now... *calms* I'm glad everyone took my rant well. Unfortunately I have very little time to post today, so Eärniel you might have some more to ask the Katt-waif. ![]() Nurv, I'll try and get a post up soon about the layout of the ship, to satisfy your orderly side. ![]() A little note about my cabin: It's mainly wood panelled, if you like old parchement ith ancient writing on, you'll like it. It also contains a lot of different swords, arrows all of different woods, some old maps, some wine glasses, a cabinet filled with navigational instruments and big hour glasses...quills, usual desk stuff. I'm open to any descriptions you might have. But no axes. XK doesn't like axes. General things that you guys ought to do whilst I am busy moving this weekend is get everyone aboard. Eärniel, introducing the other crew, Sarin, Flannery etc. to everyone. Especially the people still with Sici. Finding your quarters, which you will all share. There's few cabins because the ship is quite small. You need teaching your jobs, and to be given the rota thing by Flannery. Fingolfun, you need to go to XK's office so we can finish our conversation sometime when everyone is busy. I have a job for Luthien and some others ![]()

You don't really need to describe it in detail, no worries. Just that, I wouldn't want to mess up continuity by saying "I'm going above decks to the captain's cabin" when it is actually below. Um... it is, right?
