Just checking in with all of you. I can't wait for this RPG to begin! Storms and mutinies and shipwrecks, oh my!
Anyways, for those of you aboard the Ráca, I plan on posting a list of some of the crewmembers who will frequently appear in my posts and their jobs. For example, Caradhril, from my first post, is the master, the man who navigates the ship and occasionally steers it. |

That's an awesome idea, Alcarillo!
I don't know if I'll do it, though...unless Perky and Firefoot want it. Is it necessary, do you think? -- Folwren

Folwren - unless you want to do it, I'd say you don't need to. If random sailor/soldier #23 happens to be necessary to do something important, you can always assign them a name and role.
  You may want to have someone like a first mate, though. Up to you. |

Right. I figured it'd be less necessary for me to post who my people were, seeing as you and Perky, who are the only other RPers on the ship aren't too concerned with how the ship is being run. I have in my mind who I want to be doing what (Forimar, for instance, is my bosun), but I don't think I need to say who all my crew is.
Yes, I've a first mate.  He's the left-tennant that met the King and the Councelor at the landing, I think. I didn't name him, though, did I? That can wait.-- Folwren

Hate I can understand. Pity...well, you'd need a reason.
Quote:
No, but I don't think he would parade him on deck - after all, why waste the slave-power? He would be of more use rowing. Sorry, I just don't think they're particularly likely. And there would, of course, but a certain amount of animosity between the pair, certainly from Ferethor's side - but the Captain probably wouldn't go out his way to make life hard for the slave, as it would only make him less efficient for his purpose aboard the ship i.e. as a rower. But, of course, if Ferethor was to try anything particular (and realistic) again, then that would be a different matter...

Hm. You're right, Aman. I guess we'd have to figure out another way to get Curamir to see Ferethor... +deletes last post+
I don't know why Ferethor pities Rakin, except for the fact that I pity everyone I hate and that I assumed that he'd do the same. I mean, someone who'd make you feel so miserable - that person must have had the same thing done by his surroundings, to act as such, and it's not really his fault if he angers you. But then, my reasoning, as usual, makes no sense.

A while ago I promised a list of important crewmembers, but now I've decided that I'll make a list and edit it accordingly as new crewmembers are mentioned throughout the posts of those aboard the Ráca. I hereby bestow Kath, Thin, and Dunwen with permission to create important crewmembers as they please throughout their posts. I'll add the names to the list here. If you need to know who does what, you can just look at this list.
Captain Vórimandur - well, captain Caradhril - Master Morgond - Master-at-Arms Dagur - Purser Berengar - Carpenter Arundel - Sail-maker Other sailors include:

Hey,
Due to a typical feat of planning and my only being told, ooh, yesterday, I will be in Northern Ireland from Monday to Wednesday, returning Wednesday night, and will probably not have any internet access in that time: the grandparents do not have any problem with technology in theory, but wouldn't want it to happen to them, thank you very much So unless you could postpone for a few days, looks like I'll be missing the beginning of the game - sorry...  T'e wee Oirish Leprecaaaaan, -Aman

If that's due to parents Aman then lets send them to Mordor quick because I have the same problem! Mine have just informed me that I will be in Manchester from Wednesday to Sunday, and I will be without internet access. I should think Thinlomien could carry my character along in one of her posts if necessary though since they are friends, if thats ok with her.

Kath and Thinlómien,
Would it be possible to let my character meet yours when they get on board the ship? So far mine is still hanging out on the gunwhale, gawking at the king. The poor boy could use some friends, lol. |

For Eru's sake! It is 1:30 am here in Korea, must make no typing noise because mother expressly forbade me using the PC and she's a light sleeper. Please excuse me if I am late in replying or anything. Must go.

Eh, don't worry, Erol. Things will wait until a more godly hour in your time zone when you can actually type without worrying about being discovered. Goodness knows at least I've been in your possition more than once.
----------- I'm not planning on posting anything on the RPG until either Firefoot or Perky have progressed to the ship, I think. -- Folwren

Perky, there's something weird about the formatting of your post... a copy/paste error, I think. Part of it is posted twice (not all of it right together, either, I don't think...), so I'm not quite sure what order everything is supposed to be happening in. I take it they're on the ship, now? Just checking because I don't think anything ever said they boarded... The other thing is you have Menelcar approaching Telumehtar in your post - I'm not sure I understand this. I guess what I'm really missing is a bridge between my First post and your post.
Sorry for being so confused. Explanation would be appreciated. |

Bah! You're right. Tis' a copy and paste error. I'm having a little trouble with Word right now. Let me see if I can patch it.

Cubs, Pio? I don't think so!
Out of curiocity, is that 'no icons in RPG' policy new? I don't remember that when I was here, but then, it's been a while. Post is nearly done and ready for "hopeful" copy and paste perfection! Sorry for my stupidness as of late, but these last three days have been kinda rough school wise. Perky

Save filled! Hopefully it makes more sense that its predecessor

And sorry, folks, but that means I have to go do my school instead of write in the Save...  Firefoot, if you get around to writing your post before I get around to writing mine, then go ahead and post yours. I was actually hoping to be able to write after both of you. On the other hand, if you think you'd rather write after me, that's fine, too. Just do whatever. -- Folwren

Perky, I have one request to make concerning your post. If you will, please have the Captain meet him either mid-ship, where the King would actually enter the ship, or at the stern on the quarterdeck...where the wheel is, you know.
I'm still working on the post... Firefoot, I really think it would be easier if you wrote your post first, but I'll do my best without yours.......I can take down my Save if necessary. <--hopeful grinAh, yes, one more thing - are you sure you want the ships to start off immediately, Perky? I guess that'll work...... -- Folwren

Well, then, dear, it's a race of time and speed of fingers. I'm working on a post now, but I may not be able to finish this evening - depending on if Pop sends me to bed or not. I'm hoping that you'll finish your post first, in which case, I'll probably be able to use the one I'm actually writing now with a few changes. Unless, naturally, your character does something unexpected which would be lovely.
In a bit. - Folwren

Mother's at work, and I'm trying to catch up on the flurry of posts and saves. And possibly have another post up, if I can squeeze it in. Aman, by the way, what is your secret for writing so well? I'm in dire peril of being a fangirl of yours - (Mr. Aman, will you please sign for me? +faints+)
Anyway, really.Perky, I am taking you by your own words. You said we had perfect liberty, so I am taking liberty by my last post. Yay.

Save filled. Sorry it took so blazingly long to get there. Computer troubles. But, however that may be, it's finally up. The quarters on a ship are kind of tight, and if you (Firefoot or Perky) want your characters to complain...do so. I'll tell you now, though - you probably won't get very far with the captain. I'm not expecting the king to say anything, but. . .well, we'll see.

I've posted too. Sangalazin wants to chat to Rakin over a game of chess after a bit of brisk strangulation.
