Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

@Lucius Cypher: You still with us? It think a few of us are waiting on posts from you as it's been nearly 2 weeks since I last posted to move the missions along on my end.

Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

@Klomster On the subject of piratepad I don't often use it but I find that it can be useful. The upcoming Telmarion battle will have to use it or something similar as otherwise it will be very hard to coordinate it with all 5 people.

@TheDuncanMorgan

It actually depends on how you approach it, the battle type and a few other things to me. With 5 people involved, it's going to get tricky for sure but you can break it down into 2-3 collabs from different view points as long as you tell each other what exactly is happening in each other's collab or at least a baseline over the battle scene as a whole. Keeping in mind that battles are chaotic and rather hard to notice everything in one, mostly because you're trying to survive.

Example: A siege on a castle. I would suggest picking 2-5 PCs in battle to focus on who's efforts would make interesting reads, are important story wise, or would stick out in combat. Then determine what exactly they did in the fight like did they rush the castle wall, took down a seriously important attempt to seize their position, kill a strange beast or something else? After that and determining the outline of the battle, divide the whole battle into a few key collabs with each from a different PC's perspective that is all likely happening at the same time or within some time of each other.

This would allow the feel of the conflict to be felt and likely make smaller groups, which you determine the posting order, to manage at one time. However this is just my inner ramblings so feel free to ignore it. >_<

<Snipped quote by Kho>

I've tried using piratepad for another RP.
It worked horrible.

Plus being on different timezone didn't help.
Sure, it's awesome when both are on and can edit the document real time. But when that is not the case, it's just easier in PM's if ya ask me.

Also Duncan, i guess i could try and help if no one else volunteers for some Blackwell action.
(This doesn't mean no one should volunteer though. I'm looking at you o_o )

@Klomster

You can look all you want but it can't save ya! XD

@Hound55: You're alive! Join us on the chat!!! Bwhahaa!

Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

Don't you use piratepad for collabs?

@Kho

I prefer Google docs, but I use pirate pads and pms too. It was my partner's choice and since he's new to the site format, he decided on pms and I'm willing to work with it.

Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

@TheDuncanMorgan & @ArisenMoon: Collab pm has been sent, and it is started!

I used the Age of Sailing (1571–1862, the Middle Ages varying from 5 AD to 1500ish) for a model for sea life. It's easiest to play for me. Though I naturally omitted cannons, one shot pistols, and other obvious advancements that likely might've not worked well in the setting. I also created a new element which was escort ships. You'll see the element in play with our collab which I hope is going to be fun for everyone to read. >,<

Also, sorry for double posting in the OC!

Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

@ArisenMoonI will have that start to you by tomorrow as it's almost done. Sorry it took so long. >,<

Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

Cool, that means her voyage started in summer middle-endish and when the collab we're working on takes place. Works well actually, I believe. I imagine there's not a lot of travel across the sea (at least long ones) during the winter months due to the weather. I was a bit worried there when I thought about that.

Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

@TheDuncanMorgan Odd question: what season is it currently in IC?

Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

@The Wyrm OK so Andrew is currently bogged down with exam's and won't be free for the next three weeks. Therefore he has given me permission to take control of his MC so I can do the collab with you. Would you like to start or shall I

Also on the subject on taking temporary control of characters, do I have any volunteers for house Blackwell in case phoenix doesn't return soon?

@TheDuncanMorgan

Not I as I just joined and know very little about the Blackwells, aside what Echo mentioned, and likely to be bias as well lol.
