[@Shorticus]First, I know you said we'd be ICly voting on certain aspects of our clan's history starting on the 12th. Can you tell us a bit more about that? I'm guessing you'll present us with different options and we'll vote for whichever ones we like.[/quote]

Essentially, yes. There are a couple questions which will be open-ended, but they're not exactly essay questions. They're things like "What is the name of the clan?" and "What is your favorite dessert after a good raid?"

[quote]How do our characters come into play, though?[/quote]

Your characters are not involved in the voting process (which will take 1-2 weeks). However, at the end of the voting process you may have to edit your character sheets as a result of your clan history being something you didn't expect, or you may just want to add to your clan history.

[quote]Also, will we be discussing any past interactions between our characters during this portion as well? Or is that a topic for us to discuss amongst ourselves?[/quote]

It's not part of the voting process, but guys: you are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to do exactly that. Talk to your fellow players. Work out how you may know each other. There's only ~600-800 people in this village, and you're all on the Council, so chances are you've spoken with each other at some point.
