Re: Emoria: OOC

[Bird of Hermes]

Well, I can't post first. I already posted just some observations and stuff a couple days ago. I can't double post. ^ ^;

[Kalon Ordona II]

So now we're not having Saila call on people?
Just making sure.

Who if not she would keep order?
Should we raise our hands? Or is it the whoever-stands-up-first rule?

[Guest]

The whoever stands up first rule and I can't go first so someone needs to go. -nods-

[Dax]

Alright, I will go first ff there are no objections.

I'll try to make sure this post doesn't stir up too much controversy!

[Kathryn Lacey]

Well, the way Ryona described it, you all would sort of take control of Saila only so far as to say that she has called upon your character to speak. This way, none would have to wait for me to post to call on each character, but everyone gets their chance to speak, and each poster can just post whenever they're ready.

I really like the idea of people announcing in the OoC their intentions of posting before they do it, especially with how quickly everything is moving.

[Bird of Hermes]

Yes. Announcing in the OOC will help keep the chaotic-ness to a minimum. I really am enjoying this even though, at times, it is harder than most role-plays because of how many people we have.

This is exactly how I would like it done! Thanks for describing it.

Edit: I've sent a mass PM regarding non-playable nations. You will probably recieve several more of these as I revise the list of ideas and repost them.

Edit Edit: In terms of the PM, silence equals acceptance. So, if you read the PM and do not respond, I assume you agree with everything in it.

[Loki]

I'm going to have Ja'Dhannar wait until a few other nations have spoken so he could try to draw parallels between them and the Tynir's armament. Plus, it would be rude of him to leap into a counsel that convened in order to address the kidnappings with business that has no direct connection established... yet.

[Dax]

The meeting has officially begun!

[Guilty Carrion]

Fergot your Reverse Siggie.

And let's put our best foot forward with accusation, yay!

I'm going to wait a bit. Don't take this as a post claim.

[Bird of Hermes]

I will go next. I should have a post within the hour (hopefully, I can get it done in an hour).

[Kalon Ordona II]

The paladins would probably speak closer to last, since no one from Aendrel was kidnapped. There are very good reasons for this, the main one being that Alos -- Morgarath's arch-nemesis if ever there was one -- keeps watch and ward over the whole island.

I haven't decided whether someone from Äm was kidnapped, but it wouldn't change the fact that Äm is not represented at the council. Äm is somewhat isolationist, less concerned with the affairs of the outside world. They tend to focus inward.

[Bird of Hermes]

I posted!

If you have any questions about some of the terms that I used, feel free to ask. They are meant to sound foreign to your characters if they are not familiar with Ionairus culture.

[Buzzwulf]

So I just realized that this thread isn't updating for me on my e-mail anymore. Now I've got lots of catching up to do. Yay me.

Since I'm behind, I'll just put up something that has absolutely nothing to do with the council at all.

By the way, I figure that I'll let more people make their cases and then respond as the delegate of the mountains to a bunch of arguments at once. I'm gonna let a few more posts pile up before I really do anything major.

[Guest]

Well I suppose I will get on posting myself, something to reply to now in the Mountains and I certainly have something Morgarath needs to address now.

[Guest]

Oh, just so you know go ahead on the council posts, this one is not exactly within the council.

[Kathryn Lacey]

Raptorman, you should just edit your posts instead of double-posting. It's in FoG's rules.

So, it looks like at least four people are wanting to go toward the end: Buzz, Kalon, Plague, and myself. Do we want to decide who among us should go before the others, or should we just wait and see for a bit?

[Shadow Moonseye]

Hey guys, this is just a note, not me claiming the next post.

My posts will be included in Plague's posts for the duration of the council, as Tusohe speaks little to no common and Ayurent is acting as her translator. So, Plague and I have agreed that it is simpler to just combine our posts.

[Dax]

Alright, sounds good Shadow.

Now, is no one willing to be the next to speak?

[Blackrock]

My character would probably be aiming to speak towards the end, as well. The reasons being, no one has been abducted from Arbia and also, as a newcomer to the political stage, he would bide his time long enough to see where all the sides stand.

[Kathryn Lacey]

Perhaps those who have not had kidnappings from their nations should go last then? This would mean that Saila would be speaking before them, but I don't know if that would be the correct/proper/most polite way to go about it, since I've never been in a diplomatic situation...

[Guest]

Since the issue at hand is the kidnappings, that is the first thing that should be addressed. Therefore, whether you want to or not, if someone from your world-space was kidnapped you need to speak before the meeting progresses to other issues (such as M.O.N. and the Tynir armament and stuff).

I will try to get a post up tonight before I go to bed since my own people had someone abducted. I probably shouldn't because I've got a lot of reading to do...but I won't be here all day tomorrow so I don't really have a lot of time otherwise. If I don't get it up by tonight/tomorrow morning early, feel free to pass me up.

So, to repeat the above information, the meeting should first focus on the kidnappings. That means that all nations who have had someone abducted need to bring it up. Afterward, the council will move on to other issues that need to be addressed. But if you don't speak of your specific kidnapping incident by the time the topic moves on, you may very well have lost your chance. So if you want to go last, make sure it is before we change topics.

By the way, I haven't read Dax's or Bird of Herme's posts yet...so what I wrote may contradict with their posts. Let's see...

[Gabe]

I am planning on making a somewhat long 'catch up' post towards the end. Because of my last post, I need to go after Plaguewalker. I can go edit my last post if its going to be too much trouble though.

[Gadreille]

There was no kidnapping in the swamplands, but I'll post when I have time. Might not be for a couple of days though, and if anyone wants to post before me go right ahead.

Not everyone can post last...just some food for thought.

[Kalon Ordona II]

So, once everyone with a kidnapped person has spoken, then Saila should say who was kidnapped of the elves, and then start a discussion about plans and implications from it all.

That'll probably be the cue for the Thendári to put the blame on the Mountains of Night, which I suppose Saint would subsequently deny.
Maybe people will then accuse the Sythen or the Pirates, or anyone really. And then there'll probably be more petty arguments and stuff, and then finally people will start sensibly making matter-of-fact speeches to deflect suspicion. Eventually the paladins would probably bring out some sort of evidence. And then I have no idea what would happen.


That's my vague foresight, I guess. Everyone is bound to have their own version, and plus things have a way of happening completely different from all expectations. However it goes, it's going to be a lot of fun! xD

[Kathryn Lacey]

That all sounds good to me.

[Dax]

That'll probably be the cue for the Thendári to put the blame on the Mountains of Night, which I suppose Saint would subsequently deny.

I hope the council listens more to the thendari than they did to Jean. All he got is the cold shoulder.

But, was that supposed to happen??! hmmm! Maybe yes, maybe no!

Expect Jean to nod his head while they accuse the M.o.N and his support.

[Guest]

I eagerly await the posts. I look forward to getting to respond to them all and twist them as much as possible.

[Hello Danger]

I'm not sure when I should post. Any ideas?

[Guest]

Any time you feel like your pirate has something to say, really. He doesn't exactly have manners (no offense), so he would probably just burst out with whatever is on his mind. If you had a series of short posts that are just reactions to things recently said, I doubt anyone would mind.
