Still need to finish everyone's OOC information, which apparently can't all fit into one post, but I thought I'd let everyone get a head-start on the [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/53143/posts/ic?page=1#post-1624333]IC[/url] and their [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/users/3682]orders[/url].

Everyone's lands will be copied by me into a separate post in the OOC tomorrow morning/afternoon. If I've got time after that, the Church and Overlord sheets will be done. Neither of these are essential functions to the RP, as I can keep up with these stats quite well without posting them on a forum, but it makes things quite convenient.

The new buildings I promised will actually be posted in the new rules update I'm going to put in tonight. I should have enough energy to copy-paste them. :P

Several tips/notes before you make your IC post/Orders:

* I need to have your orders finalized by next Tuesday. If you miss more than two seasons, you're out of the game, and your lands will fall to chaos. 

* Every season is four months, so think ahead with your actions, because you can get a lot done in that time!

* On the note of time, the only way you'll be able to respond to threats mid-season is if you post patrols or build Watchtowers ( details of which are coming tonight). 

* To protect trade routes, you may post a patrol on a specific trade route, thus guarding it from anywhere, or post a patrol in your lands. As each town as many trade routes, it can get expensive to keep every single trade route adequately protected, since a force of 50 to 100 men is needed to keep a trade route safe from bandits, but just patrolling your own fiefs for bandits means that only bandits in your land will be prevented from raiding your trade routes. If another player doesn't post patrols, their trade routes are fair game to bandits.

* If you aren't sure what to post in the IC, make a post about an interaction at court. You make as many IC posts as you wish per season, and can focus them on individuals, as formal House missives, as a letter, or however you like! If you can't make an IC post in a week, you won't be kicked so long as you've made your orders, so don't fret if you have writer's block!

* Lastly, have fun! It's a game, afterall. A most dangerous game. <3
