Hmm... I'll wait a bit and see who picks what before choosing a nation.

@Shorticus A question. How much control do we have over NPCs like this? I wasn't planning on making them do or say anything, but I was thinking about the gallocman occasionally coming to Maire for certain herbal remedies. Is that kosher or a no no?
100% okay. I still, of course, have control over NPCs when I post, but I think it's safe to assume that out of 800 clansmen there are people Maire can exert some influence over. And Hell, NPCs exist to help push story forward anyway.
I'm interested, though I won't say for sure that I'm good to apply. A nation roleplay I was in died before it could start, so I have room in my schedule.
I'd like to quote something:
So, who's chosen the first nation, since I assume I have to choose to be next to whoever chose before me? What's the farthest extent of who we'd be allowed to play? Etc.
One thing I'd love to do if anyone chose to play in Italy or North Africa is to play Ethiopia and try to punch northward through Egypt while it's somewhat weakened by the 7th Crusade.
I'd like to quote something:
IV. This is important—Your Nation must always be next to another Player Nation. And by that, I mean that during nation creation, you should not start at far-flung geographic regions; one nation in Scandinavia and another in North Africa.

Would it be better, I wonder, if we just launched ourselves into it? Did away with the nation summaries, floated a few character concepts, and then went nuts? I get the impression that peeps might be getting bogged down by all the boring stuff.
It might. I normally wouldn't have a problem finishing the NS, but I've been horrifically busy.
Just writing might be a better start for me.
Oh, and...
@babbysama You can discuss it here, but in the end you should make it as a part of your IC post. Good question. I'd probably do this...
Yeah, my style of showing you stuff ain't exactly elegant.

I place 1 point of Magic into Crops.

Sorry about the late response here, folks. I took an hour's-ish nap. I got woke up.
You're all part of the same clan: Clan Aonghus. Err, I hope that was clear.
Basically, you're ALL working together. You're all on the Council of the same clan. If you build a fortification, you're using clan resources to build it.
Speaking of which, I totally forgot to list how many Goods you guys have. I'm just gonna go edit that in right now after taking a peek at a starting game in KoDP.
@Mardox You can totally get these two a divorce.
@Shorticus
what about the whole questions on my clans history?
in terms of actions in a turn I was planning on putting a fortification around my territory to defend against pillaging and raids.

@Wernher Feel free to express those thoughts IC! Especially the matter concerning the couple.
Eliz could potentially go adventure without appealing to the Council. That wouldn't necessarily be the wisest decision and would upset people, but she could. I'm noting this in case she gets met with a resounding "no," and this applies to everyone: MOST actions you perform that affect the clan can be done without the Council's consent, but a lot OUGHT to be done with their consent. If someone is seen as disrespectful toward their peers, well, that's grounds for rude things to happen.

Alright so where do I start from? ill make a post soon but I got to do some homework
Well, in this phase there are two things you do:
1. Let your character give an opinion on what the Heck we should do about the quarreling old couple,
2. Either discuss here what you want your character to do as his action this turn or RP about preparing to do <whatever it is he plans on doing>, as if we already finished talking about the old couple.
@Jangel13 Okay, I've decided to go ahead and accept your character. You seem receptive to advice and making changes, and as long as you immerse yourself and have fun, I'm alright with having you on-board. Also note that you shouldn't bold your whole character sheet - edit that as you post it in the character section.
And I'll just remind you that we're playing in a setting where societal norms are rather different from what we think of us, well, normal. You seem to have somewhat of a grasp on these norms, but when in doubt refer to the section in my first OOC post on Urlandi Culture.
Otherwise, yeah: you're accepted. I'll admit that I'm a little tentative here, but you can't improve without RPing, so let's throw you into the fire with everyone else!

Post made, folks! Feel free to ask me questions.
I'll start looking at your revised application @Jangel13.
