@RaiderJ why is Vincent acting like he has never met Dana? Any particular reason ? Because he has met her in fact she was the one to make him an eagle.

He flew too high. Bad for the brain.
Or maybe he kept the bird's brain (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) |

LOL I guess Maya has nothing to say until someone chimes in up at the council meeting.

I hope Lindsey will have something to say -- although possibly she's staying quiet because she is getting what she wants without having to be seen lobbying for it? But we probably need Aria to speak for Rick on this one -- we don't know all of his motivations so I wouldn't feel comfortable speaking for him. I suspect that putting words in Simon's mouth would be OK, if anyone feels like it (he's mostly been voiced by players all the way through)

Sim should also answer regarding Maya's doubts about the possible failure of the spell. Or the fact that he just bluffed and has no truth spell at all.

I edited Addie's last post (post 574) to address the question of magic, truth, etc, to partially address the concerns that Maya raised. Sim can justify himself more, if Aria wants.

QUOTE (Cailin O'Connor @ Aug 21 2016, 08:54 PM)  It's the same for Muhamed in fact, unless I'm mistaken, I don't think they were made public before now. I assumed that Rick let the rules be known, but I agree that this was never covered in a post. (I do assume that a lot of the operations of the big camp don't make it into posts) |

For day to day operations I agree. When we're talking about branding someone like cattle... I would have thought it warranted at least one post, it's not exactly a consequence-free decision after all.
But I'm not "main camp" anyway so... |

I would have thought it warranted at least one post, it's not exactly a consequence-free decision after all. But I'm not "main camp" anyway so... Those rules were agreed to by the council .... except for maybe Lindsey. See in here where Simon and Sim agree (and Rick had already agreed): http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?s=&a...t&p=1323349 It isn't until a few posts later that Lindsey is actually recruited into the council. We didn't do a post where the full five go over them again. I'd left it for Rick to promulgate the rules, nothing was ever posted one way or the other, so I agree that it can be read either way. I tried to go down the middle in my recent post where I had Addie summarize those rules, and that by the lack of reaction she thought people were not surprised -- maybe they knew, maybe they were just too tired/worried to make a fuss. Up until now I've been pretty happy to jump forward in time if I'm lagging the general narrative. I.e. if the small camp is at dusk and I've last posted about affairs at dawn, I'll skip to Addie coming back to camp and include some flashbacks on points that I thought were interesting (which usually means something related to character development, either Addie or NPC). And I try not to put words into Rick's mouth that are more than bridges for what is going on (i.e. I try not to 'play' Rick), as I consider him such a key NPC. All of which does leave big gaps that are open to interpretation, and we get only very limited glimpses of Rick in action, so we probably all imagine his demeanor differently (but we can all reference the same visuals, thanks to his pick on OP!) |

Oh I know the council agreed, I didn't say otherwise. And you hypothesis may be true, and they even probably think that it doesn't really matter, since they won't do anything to get branded anyway. But now that it becomes reality... I don't know.
Another reason could just be that Aria didn't answer since then, and most of us don't really like talking for the NPCs (or, at least I don't)... |

Had some stuff to deal with IRL; I'll be able to post something tomorrow. Wouldn't have made any significant mods to what's occurred. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Sorry for the unannounced absence.

I'm going to assume that the rules have been spread to the group otherwise this whole thing takes on another crazy dimension...we've glossed over some fairly significant stuff and the announcement would have been an NPC to a bunch of NPCs so I'm not unhappy about that! Hope to get an IC up today! |

I am not dead, just travelling. Given that Blank is not going to be privy to the whole camp dynamic, that seems to have worked out fine.

I'd intended for it to be vague enough to cover whoever she did bring, without being specific. .... But I could have phrased that better, sorry.
ETA I rephrased that sentence now. ETA2: Bullet, shark .... easy mistake to make, right? (I don't know if she actually somehow glimpsed Dana's mentor, or if it was just her psychology knowledge kicking in at a sub-conscious level to tell her something about Dana -- either way I don't think she gleaned any information she would not already have, she just came up with a metaphor to better process the information with) |

I think the players are all in place to finally talk about this toxic mage. I know Rick had earlier made some suggestions, but now he can do it to the small camp people.
I may not have much chance to post over the weekend, so if others are posting, just advising that Addie will let discussion run for a while, stepping in only when needed to get herself in the hunting party (eventually she will go into reasons for that, but feels she needs to be quiet for a bit first). |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) Come to the planning of dealing with the toxic mage -- it took some doing, but I think we have every PC except Blank there (assuming Raf comes). A chance now for lots of interaction! |

Just checking in - back from a quick back-and-forth to Japan that I am way too old for, so rather jet-lagged.
I'll keep an eye in case anything is needed from Raf, but mostly he'll just follow his group and quietly work on his bow. One more day to go, I think... |
