New Quest Discussion Thread!
Hi everyone.
[edit]Okay, we probably have enought players now. However, we are willing to consider anyone else who might like to join. Post in the thread. This is what it is all about...I am EXK, aka, Captain Xenoia Karris of the former Nance-a-lot. For a long while now there has been a thread:The Quest for the Holy Wine. Finally we have completed it and we need some new blood in the game. If anyone is interested in joining us for a new, crazy adventure on the high seas of...somewhere...then these are the crew's positions. I put a strikethrough...no, because it didn't work...I have italicised the positions of the old crew, but they needed to be there so you could see who's in. If I missed anyone out that's because I'm stupid, sorry. ---------- EDITED: Post to correct me if I have made a mistake. Captain Xenoia Karris First Mate Eärniel Second Mate Sicirus Navigator Eärniel Trimmers (2 or 3) (controlling the sails shapes) Nurvingiel and CC Quarter master Roya Master at Arms Gulio Cook Tiny Deckhands (3 or 4) Flannery, Pansy, Katt Helmsman (or woman) Luthien boatswain Last Child of Ungoliant Nippers (to weigh anchor) Ethuiliel END EDIT --------- Additional: Ale-nail and Flannery are characters currently played by everyone and used for plot-devices. If anyone would like to take them on, they may. Tanoliel and Willow are deserters, awaiting capture. Eruviel Greenleaf was the former captain, and will likely make guest appearances. We would also welcome ideas from any potential players, and characters who might wish to be our enemies are likewise welcome. Oh, and finally, if anyone would like to play but be allocated a character then I can create one for you. I [blook forward to rp-ing with you!

Maybe just a smal resumé for those who don't have time right now to read through the first game thread (although I would encourage you all to do so for useful backrgound info and maybe a good laugh):
Cue the ship, the brigantine Nance-a-lot, the Nal for short. We sto... er commandeered it to use it for piracy and getting drunk. Most of us are Elves, with the exception of a faery and a vampire. We undertook a long quest for the Holy Wine, which is the finest wine you can get in Middle-earth. But in the adventure we lost some crewmembers and our captain; and two of our crewwomen,Tano and Willow, deserted us and ran - well... more likely flew off with our Holy Wine before we even had a chance to taste it. (how rude, I hear you say) We intend to get it (and them) back. But we lack some vital things like supplies and some crewmembers. So we're planning on anchoring at Mithlond -the Grey Havens, as you will all know them- to get just that. The captain posted some of the vacancies but they're not really mandatory. So if you're interested in joining us (I promiss, you won't get keel-hauled... very often) then post here! Don't make me beg.

*insert Muppet Treasure Island flashback* I would be most willing to aid you in your quest to re-find the Holy Wine. ^^ This most Holy Wine would be an excellent... er, artifact to... um, help discover. Again.

Nice of you to join us, Gulio and Bunny Queen! Yes, Bunny Queen, you can be the Nal's cook. It doesn't matter if you have never RPG'd here before, you'll pick up the gist soon enough. Gulio, any specific position you want to fill in?
Could you both give us a small description of your character? Looks aren't very important, but just perhaps a bit of history and personality. (Ethuliel, if you're reading, could you do the same?) For example, these are some of the descriptions that EXK made of us at the beginning of the last game: Quote:

Ooh, the Master at Arms position is open! *mischevious grin* I would very much like to have that position... Also, is it okay if my character isn't exactly... elven? You see, I'm not a very elvish person (not that the drunk scalawags are your typical elf), and am more of a dwarf... *puppy dog eyes*

ok. Great What do you mean by Nal's ?
Cook (bunnie_queen)- I am the cook of this ship (its on a ship riteo?). I started calling myself "Tiny" Because I am one of the shorter ones of the ship. I have worked as a cook for many people, parties, on yachts....etc...I am very friendly. Love to cook....as you can see. I can Fight very good. My charcter is Elven and I'm short. I have blond hair( i no looks dun count but meh) I am very smart at geography. I'm a very good multitasker. Is that good enough? lol

I guess I will repost my character just to remind everyone and myself.
Sicirus was an elven crew member found on the Nal when first boarded (stolen actaully) and nobody felt like telling her to leave so she stayed and was in command of anything anyone asked her to do. Eevn rubbing some peoples feet in the middle of the night when they were drunk. Sicirus is master at war and arms. She is raven haired and tall. She is the master at sword and cannons that actually work. And is shown a bottle of wine or rum she will love you forever. Unless you steal the bottle then she will hunt you forever. By the way can I have a pet greyhound in this one? I love greyhounds. PLEASE??????????

The description looks good enough to me, but Captain EXK gets the final word on it, as she does on all things, being the Nal's new captain. [EDIT: When I said that looks don't matter is because that's mainly because the characters usually look like us, after all, they are us in the funny twisted way that is called online comic RPG.] Just a reminder (and that goes for everybody), be careful not to make your character too perfect. We tend to poke fun at ourselves (and just as well as anyone around us) a lot in the game. Quote:
Quote:
According to EXK's list of ranks you were going to be promoted to second mate, not master at arms, remember? Gulio also already asked for that position and since she hasn't got a position yet, I'd let her be master at arms. I have no problems with the greyhound although the ship's hardly a place for one: they need a lot of space to run. As long as it doesn't bother the ship's lori, it's fine with me. Quote:
Hey Xen, seen the respons, I think we can start up the new game thread soon to enlist everybody before they realise what they're getting themselves into and try to run away.

Nice to see you guys. You're all very welcome. CC, please post a quick character summary so we know a little about you. Bunnie Queen, what you've written is absolutely fine. So we call you Tiny, yes? Does your character have a real name? (Just for reference, we'll call you Tiny if that is how you wish to be named ).
I apologise, I see Sicirus did want the Master at Arms position in the last discussion. However, as you have been promoted to Second Mate I have decided to give the position to Gulio (who needs to post a character profile ). BUT, one important weapon we have is our catapult. Only Tanoliel knew its power, and since she is not here, and Sici you are a good fighter, I think that you should become our catapult expert. Ie. Your ongoing task will be to work out how it works. Is that okay? I mean, you have a position already so I decided to let new crew have position too. So. Summary: We need a character profile from Gulio (our master at arms to be) and Count Comfect...and also Ethuiliel too. Just so we know any important facts about you. Like, you should all know Eärniel has a slight weakness for chocolate. (Sorry but they had to know ) I would also like to suggest that maybe those we recruit are a crew already who lost their ship and most of their crew members. The only thing I can see with this is a potential for mutiny if you don't like the way I run the ship...but it's an idea we might like to work with. Alternatively, you are all going to picked up in a tavern or something. We'll have to think of a reason to pick you guys out of everyone there. Finally, I might like to delegate to Eärniel the honour of starting the new thread, should she like that. Just so I don't feel like I am all controling and annyoing in the thread How about.... The Quest for Truth? After all, it isn't just about the wine anymore. But maybe that sounds too serious. Title, anyone? I also propose we re-name the Nal once she's fixed up. Is Luthien still around? ETA: One final thing I forgot but should probably mention here. The ship has a room. A room which is always locked because there is a thing in it. Now, in the past the thing in the room (the room is locked) has caused us trouble, but it should not bother us in this quest. It is just....unpredictable and unruly so I thought I'd warn ye potential players. In game your characters will be told by me not to go in there and I really advise you leave it well alone. Okay. Good. I wouldn't want to have to punish anyone new, after all.

Alright, the self-description stuff.
Somewhere back in the jumble of ancestors, the Count has some minor nobility of some kind: hence the name. He's also fairly sure there might be an elf, a dwarf, and quite possibly things that walked on four (or more) legs, which frankly explains a lot. However, he looks like a fairly standard man. He tends to wander around aimlessly, and at one point seems to have found himself on some ship or other which someone told him was the Nal. He has just sort of stayed, which basically means he gets pushed into work as a deckhand. That OK?

Okay Bunnie Queen, it isn't important. You can always say your character has ben nicknamed Tiny for so long she's forgotten her real name. And from now on, Tiny it is. Welcome to the crew, cook. Sicirus, you can post a profile for Ethuiliel if you like. Just so we know a little about her. And Nurvingiel: Yes you are welcome to be a trimmer. What will be your character name and numb...er, that is, who is your character and what are they like? And if you call yourself what your username is I may not be able to stop myself calling you Nurvy. I'll try. CC: That is great. Thank you. So the crew stands thusly: New crew Old crew Captain: E XK First Mate and Navigator: Eärniel Second Mate: (I know, not strictly a real position but it is a Nal tradition, and is really useful to have!) Sicirus Quarter Master: Roya (That's a point, what's your new identitiy Roya?) Master at Arms: Gulio (or whatever name you choose) Trimmer (I): Nurvingiel Nipper (I): Ethuiliel Cook: Tiny Deckhand: Count Comfect

Yay! *practices trimming*
Actually, I think the second mate is a real position. Isn't he the leader of one of the watches? (Maybe it's time to check out 'Two Years Before the Mast' and 'Mutiny on the Bounty' again... )
