Out Of Character

That's why I don't read the other threads. Makes it easier to not know stuff.

(Also, I'm forgetful -- that helps, too!)

LOL! I read 'em, but I'm usually several days behind, and my PC doesn't act on anything he doesn't know...and that's a lot.

I'd have a hard time not reading them - the stories are so fun and entertaining.

It's also useful from a player perspective to see how other people write and interact with the DM/environment. I learn a lot - not from a META gaming perspective, but techniques and ideas I might not have thought of that could be useful, either in this game or in other games.

Looking forward to seeing Desmond's threads come out of the Private section. A tall tale or two to tell, eh?

hehe... something like that. Hopefully got a good summary in not-too-many-words in-character, though.

hoho I think the Dwarf has insulted Olaf ;p

Based on the responses, I've come up with this marching order:

2x Formation:
Desmond...Dieter
Wen...Highbough
Ulric.......Torben
Armando..Beringar
Josiane....Dorgan
Olaf

1x Formation:
Desmond
Wen
Dieter
Highbough
Ulric
Torben
Armando
Beringer
Josiane
Dorgan
Olaf

If everyone is OK with that, we should note it somewhere in a Stickied thread so we can access it more easily and not spend 3-4 days figuring out marching order.

I'm ok with that but remember that if combat breaks out Wen will shoot and retrea, in the elven split move fashion.... I'm already wounded so I've got not business in the melee right now.

Good idea Ehiker, your PBP wisdom is evident

I shall create a sticky thread for this tonight, and then I'll post an update in game too.

I was just going by what you indicated you wanted.

Keep in mind that the split move might not be easily done in some conditions, like a narrow hallway. And indoors, if we bump into anything, the range could easily be close enough for melee without a chance for ranged. You might find yourself in melee when you don't want to be.

It is easily changed if you want to reconsider your position.

Thanks Ehiker, you are an experienced pbp'er

I shall create a sticky thread for this tonight, and then update the ingame.

Thanks. One thing I happen to like about this game is that we really don't have one single dominant character in the party taking the role of party leader - everyone shoulders responsibilities at different times.
