Hey, by the way Darian has some changes to his info: daedric -> Ebony, and no more dagger. Also Ander is a battlemage.

[Kheskeim]

got it - updated

[Kheskeim]

Good idea to highlight what Malchik needs to determine, although I don't know if he would prefer to find out what needs to be determined himself

I find it rather hard to roleplay these actions, as you really have to cover your ass if something goes wrong. Also the coordination part is somewhat comical sometimes hehe.

But fun it is.

[ominae]

Im sure Malchik will read it all over and determine for himself anyways, just trying to make it 'easier' lol.

Also I suggest everyone post in the character descriptions thread, so we all know each other more, (and how we act) just my 2 cents.

This is my first role play, and it is fun indeed. It difficult to assess the situation, especially when the area is not fully described. But that would be a lot more work for Malchik lol. For example: If there was a vally around the town, me and Ander would be able to easily see the signal. Things like weather too, just about anything can effect you.

Also with the current tactic we have going, I tried to plan it, like how you first suggested (by splitting up) so that each of us can do an action, and Malchik would be able to answer us all. Instead of waiting to do one action, then another; because Malchik can't update too, too often. This way we deal with the shack mad women, food, and (hopefully) Ooka, all together.

[Kheskeim]

Yea that was also part of my reasoning without taking away from the fact that it seemed smart to old Ulf aswell hehe.

My char has undergone some big changes since the start of this.. most of it is in the extensive backstory here: Backstory Ulf - but also in a lot of smaller ways.

I have tried to read up on what went on in the Drunken Alit with all your chars and also before than in the amazingly confusing all mixed up thread haha.
But I think if we have the time to do some IC hints and small references to this and that reg. our character, then it will all be more immersive. Since there is a danger to reading too much OOC stuff.. I think

Anyway, thanks for tonight, I am heading back home to sleep (at work) - it's pooty 8 am in the morning and I slept like 4 hours in the last 48 hours :-P

Hope the old hag bid us for tea and cookies (uncontaminated) and that you find some deers or other in the woods. Good luck and sleep well when it comes to it.

ps: will lurk in here later on today.. and do some more damage

[ominae]

Wow you need sleep, get at least 8 hours lol. Talk to you later then, hmmmm tea and cookies.

[Masurao]

While I would not force the others to stop posting, I do believe it is a sign of courtesy to be a bit slower about the decision-making process. Ander protested at splitting up, for example, and I would have backed him up on that. Now more than half of our group is gone and the others had no say whatsoever in what happened. I do believe it was said that you should expect some slower posting and there is no harm in getting used to it: when a combat situation comes, you'll only get one post until Malchik updates. (This excludes some actions, but you only get one decent combat post )

Another point of contention is Ook and he told me up until now, the only two beside me who were present when I told Ulf about it, were Ulf and Wulfgar. (I believe) You haven't relayed that information to the others and neither did I, so no one knows why not to trust Ook at all, other than what Ulf said.

[Malchik]

I agree. With an international rpg it can well mean only posting once per day. The RPGs I have seen work best when the players are in the same time zone or no more than an hour or so apart. Sometimes it is possible to have two groups in one rpg and they can be divided up along those lines. However this rpg states as a main objective that the competition is about team work. I will do my best to go along with what you post but do try to remember you are now eight trying to work together. Another comp requirement is 'adaptability'. Frustrating though it is, try to keep the time-line as logical as possible. We can assume some element of gossip not spoken in the thread but it looks better to account for it if you can. Anyhow - atm those in the house know nothing about what is happening in the shack and vice versa.

[Kheskeim]

Kheskeim awakans after sleeping 8 hours.. argh

Guys, I see your point OOC - it was a bit forced, I simply thought why not roleplay a bit with the guys that was awake and as it was their chars wanted to get the hell out of that house og so did mine. One of the things keeping Ulf sane is being busy and not feeling helpless as a pawn in a big game of blind chess. He was actually loosing some control in a post I wrote, just before Malchik updated with the blisters on Ulf arms.
Anyway, I guess it was a bit of a very late night and the timeframe of real life combined with the fact that ingame they have absolutely nothing to drink.

Ook told Garrick and Wulfgar, Garrick told Ulf. I don't think anyone else knows everything to the story. Wulfgar told them Ook had been assaulted, when he woke them up though. Ulf obviously put all his distrust in one basket - that of Ook's. Further he believes the house is cursed or enchanted and he feels he is suffocating in there. Zow would have left the house if the others had wanted it or not and so would his group with him, Ulf found it better to go with them as to not having them mess up the potential only lifeline they had - the mad woman. So he would have advocated this, nomatter what Garrick was told by Ook. (be refuses to believe it could have been any from the two groups)

Just a bit of info to level it up. I know we missed a good opportunity for a clash of oppinons between our chars there - but we will have to take that later now.

I will try to keep my pace down. But then I would also like to know more about the timescale in the game, is it still morning, is is night, is it foggy/sunny that sort of thing would often affect chars actions a lot imho. If it has been hours since Ulf woke up he will by this time be dehydrated to a high extent. Remember he had sweated heavily during sleep and continue to "heat up". That is and will obviously affect both his judgement and his actions.

Okay back to the story.
