So... 1st Choice... Tourmaline 2nd Choice... Ruby Dark Ruby and Jeweler skill: Unless someone speaks up to specifically ask Arawn not to work on this stone please assume Arawn does so during IBT. I can work on the details when I send you my IBT list. If anyone does object then Arawn will skip working on the stone. And in response to the possibility of damaging the stone and lowering its worth, Arawn will pay the full 80SC to the party if this should happen. Profit from sale of treasure: The details of this can be worked on later if you wish but Arawn will give his share to help the ex-slaves/liberation. Hopefully between the High Elder's farmer contact and the freedom fighters Arawn can find a way to ensure that people are being helped in the best possible way, taking care of some things in the short term but making sure the money will go towards furthering long-term goals of both freedom and equality (non-human and human alike). Although he'll likely be too busy to regularly check up with these individuals he'd like to maintain occasional contact for their benefit. Letter/Number characters: Sorry for not replying but waiting on a new laptop. Currently I can see 106 on email. GM: Ack. Ruby work on - Roger. To helping others you will have to remind me if I forget. From Fremea: [Re: Actions] Fremea would be fine with this so far. So, that just leaves Unali, Z, Arawn and Kiet with a second choice? GM: Ack. From Kiet: [Re: Actions] Kiet just shakes his head at this suggestion. "We are... GM: Ack. This should be the post you wanted ignored. But it was a good speech! :) From Fremea: [Re: Actions] GM: Ack. Yes Kiet lost the roll on the Meteorite. I was still hoping for a duel to the death. Darn. I think Kiet might've smoked Z'leyra before she knew what happened! (j/k I dunno but would've been a fun fight). From Arawn: [Re: Actions] Arawn's second choice would be for one of the Rubies. GM: Ack. From Kiet: [Re: Actions] All, Please ignore my previous post. It was a reaction to posts that came after one of Scott's updates, but I didn't see all of the text in that update. I went looking at the website and saw all of it. I'm still not sure what happened to all the text, but it's there... It was not meant to be offensive, but role playing. If you were offended I apologize. GM: Ack. No problem. Sometimes I don't get any pnp list posts (other pnp - Wout's list). It just is funky that way. I may see replies and go looking for them. This list seems to be more reliable. But both are same servers so who knows. Flukes happen. From Fremea: [Re: Actions] Not offended. Just wanting to make sure everyone is getting something good for themselves too. I was making sure you were not offended. ;) GM: Ack. ------------------------------------------------------------ [New Stuff] [Octagi 5th, 1634TH] [Sivas, Marentia] [Time: 8:43:11 pm - Sivas Marentia] [No role playing] Actions? Comments? Next update...Monday? Maybe when next IBT done GM: A short update just to collect posts and continue. I've heard from Wout. HE has been busy. H gave me his IBT and some other input including input on the magic activation spell proposal. He also voted for Z'leyra's adventure. He will continue to be busy for the next few months but I know enough of Unali to work with it. Plus he tends to send emails not actual posts. GM: New Players - Some tips - * Dialogue - As with books we use "dialogue" for role playing so "". You can paraphrase with '' marks. If you are unsure how to say something you can do without the ""s and try to make the point across but role playing is always good. Be advised though for combat dialogue takes time. By the time you say "I dare you to move forward and raise your sword in front of my friends or you will die!" By the time you get out the first 3 words they could have fired a bow and killed you. So speaking in combat can be dangerous and timely. My rule of thumb is I actually count how long it takes for me to say X words. Since a phase is 3 seconds I do up to 3 seconds and then cut it off to the next phase. * Death - I don't kill just for spite though I may have wanted to! :) I kill on stupid stuff. So you are sure you want to walk across that acid bath and past those magical pikes to get the golden bird on the platform? Ok. Sure. If you die then you die. It is actions like that which tends to kill not me. : It is really hard to die in my games. * Interaction. Post to the public list for anything. If you are to comment to a particular person in private send email to them and CC me so I can see it. You can talk privately in list as long as you don't care what others see on it. Our players are mature enough that they don't take that info into account. You guys are free to post anytime. I will fit you into the game soon. I'm just busy working on the IBTs and such. It may be a few more weeks if you don't mind waiting. Once I fit you in though you can act as your characters. But now your free to play as you. We welcome comments and such on anything that is being talked about. GM: Enhancement Post Script Some have talked about this in email. It has been reminded that rites can be learned in various ways beyond shops, libraries and such. Organizations like Guilds, Secret Societies, clubs, lodges and such are also good examples. Just a reminder based on the email. Another thing is if a NMI is already magical then no rites are needed. So if this is the case then we can use the Core Enhancement spell. If this is in your core starting rites list then it can be removed. GM: My schedule - * Finalize Kiet's post IBT character sheet * Start on Fremea's IBT * Start on Unali's IBT * Clean this old computer off of pnp and move to new computer * Start on IBT time events * Start working on Adventure Outline GM: IBT Time Octagi 5 Back to Marentia night time Octagi 6-31 IBT Time Novehas 1-14 IBT Time Novehas 15 Adventure Hook/Starts This is 40 days between adventures. Keep in mind this is November so it will be cold. Please do NOT start IBT until you get final sheets sent. Everyone should know this by now so will remove this in next update. GM: IBT Process Player IBT Sent in IBT Processed Arawn Fremea Yes #2 to do Kell Kiet Yes Done (#1) Unali Yes #3 to do Zabyra Yes Done Z'leyra I got to do Kell's myself but will wait to see what others do in case I need to. GM: Width of posts: Just taking notes on what folks can see (ie how many characters can one see on their reading devices - crt, ipad, email, browser.) So I can figure out a average width for future posts rather than 80 columns. Player Width of device Type of device Arawn 106 email Fremea 195 Screen Kiet 68 Ipad Unali 130 Email Zabyra 120 Email Z'leyra 186 Email Ok. I have enough info on this. Average looks to be 138 with range from 68 to 195 (range of 127. Kiet since you seem to be out of place here if the update goes longer can you adapt or would it force the ipad to go back and forth which can be tiresome going left/right? Let me know I can keep the current 80 format if so. If not I could stretch it to 138? But I want to make everyone happy. GM: Old Treasure Item Claimed by Meteorite [1] Z'leyra Ruby [1] Z'leyra Ruby [1] Arawn Tourmaline [1] Arawn Diamond [1] Fremea Sapphire [1] Fremea Toadstone [1] Unali Turquoise [1] Unali Turquoise [1] Kiet Emerald [1] Kiet None-Magical Ruby to cut - Arawn Based on the tons of cross crossed emails. This may be the final setup. Is this acceptable? Kiet I know you wanted different ones but do you still want some claim on the others? We still have a week or so for the 7/1 Deadline. So still time to iron out the details. Once I get the 5 Yes/No on this we'll move on. If all agree then its done. I will then sell the other goods and gems by Kell. I will then divide it up
