I'm not so sure that 2 threads would work: But then, I'm the kind of person who doesn't have any subfolders in her inbox. I like having everything in one place.
I wouldn't mind having a new roleplay... but then again, I'm not sure if I can participate. XD

Perhaps the next RP could be post-Guild Wars? Just a suggestion. *backs into corner to watch discussion*
Terminating the current roleplay would quite probably be a good Idea, since all it has done is run in circles. And then more circles. And then 52-sides Polygons.

Hmm...I think there was a misunderstanding somewhere, most likely the fault lying in my making the Regis Lupi long enough to need an abridgment, eloel. What I meant was, indeed, just a single thread for both OoC and serious discussion (which was perhaps the only thing clearer in the abridged version than in the unabridged, lol). I also meant to say it should be named specifically something like the "Roleplay OoC and Discussion Thread," so everyone knows they're supposed to be kept in the same thread. After all, considering the frequent zaniness of our OoC, some may get the impression that the OoC thread is exclusively for OoC alone, which it shouldn't be. And for some reason, I think that sounds even more confusing now than it did before. -_- In simple mathematics: 1 thread = serious discussion + OoC chitchat Also, just because we start a new roleplay doesn't mean all of this one goes to waste. Part of the problem, I think, is that we began this with the idea that the Knights' not remembering the day before would be important, and although it is, not all the Knights who are now a part of the RP can participate in that plotline. If we had a central dominant plot for everyone to participate in, we could certainly continue our search for our lost memories as a sort of super-subplot without making everyone else feel like fifth-wheels. As for following the Guild Wars RP, I still think we should avoid that because, again, not everyone participated in it. Granted, though, it would explain why Shino just disappeared... I mean, I don't know, what do we do with his character now that's he's left the NTWF? It's not like we can just have our characters forget about his, right...? I know for one I don't want Wolf to just forget about him--they were like brothers, you know...very, erm, close brothers, but, yeah. So, anyways. What do we do about that? And, yeah, I know "stern" isn't exactly the right word, but "stiff" isn't either. I wanted something that means "has strict boundaries that will benefit the whole without being cumbersome," but I really couldn't think of anything when I wrote it up, and come to think of it, I still can't. -_- A Roleplaying 101 course would be awesome, I think. Feel free to start a trial run here in the guild, Kit. It might actually be a good thing to do if we are going to start another roleplay soon. That way, the success of our roleplay can be a case study on the effectiveness of your class. ^_^ Oh, and Regis Lupi Memorandum means 'Memorandum of King Wolf'...right? :3 I'm fairly certain it does. :} Not sure if the "memorandum" part is the same in Latin as in English, though. |

I've finally read up on all that's happened in the RP, and I was struck with a great idea whilst reading it all. I noticed a lot of little facts throughout these last few pages that could be coupled together for a larger plot that would work in all the ways we need it to--it would involve all of us, provide an immediate and imminent danger, and serve as a great source for roleplaying ideas, I think.
So, my ideas: what if the people attacking Bacon's homeland and the people causing unrest in the west (or was it the east...? sorry, I read it before dinner) and the south were the same people? Zari mentioned the latter had a certain distaste of the new king that could cause us problems, so what if this group of people was going around and conquering other lands to build up strength to take on Dunburrow?
With something like this, we could all theoretically participate in this other legion as well, sort of making them NPCs we each have a turn in controlling as needed, so the burden of the entire enemy never falls on any one person, like the Elementalists have. That way, if one person has to back out of the roleplay for a while, it won't necessarily come to a dead halt.
As well, with an idea like this, we could still continue our other plotlines alongside it, such as the Elementalists' when they're able to return, the fact that the Knights can't remember coronation day, and whatever plan Kit has up his sleeve concerning Maya and this...creature in the attic. As well, any personal subplots could be interlaced with all of these, providing a wealth of story material for all of us to draw from and participate in.
*deep breath*
So, whattya think? Please, discuss something. Even if it's not this, discussion is a good thing.
((Oh, I also have a couple things along the lines of continuity to mention later...but after all that tryptophan and with my AlphaSmart upstairs, I'm finding it hard to remember all of them.... Sorry.))

Wolf, that would work.
I find this amusing: If the trouble Bacon mentioned came from the west outside Dunburrow, It could be in Xenam. Where Zari recieced her knight training and a whole lot of other backstoryish things are based, including the mysterious informant from earlier.

I think Bacon mentioned his homeland's name, however... Ah, yes, he did--New Hamm is located in Riasa-Calleo, he said. However, that's not to say that they can't be neighboring places, even if both in the west. After all, if all these smaller lands must be conquered to have any chance against Dunburrow, they must be rather small in comparison to Dunburrow, you know?
And, hey, if we do do this, I could bring in my hometown of Glen Oak, too!
Oh, and I remembered what I wanted to mention erlier, and it's just downright funny hilarious, I think. Bacon mentioned having heard of Wolf's exploits, but Wolf doesn't have any. After all, I'm just plain Wolf, not Beowolf, even if I did go by that name a few weeks ago. XD In fact, for being a king, Wolf came out of nowhere. Glen Oak, the fief he's from, is small and secluded, and even there he was an elusive figure. So, needless to say...Wolf might feel a bit disturbed when he responds. =D
Then, Pyro, you mentioned Emma as if she were a part of the coronation, but I don't think she came around until after it. It's a little detail, I guess, but it might be worth mentioning if you weren't sure.

I didn't read through the RP before I posted that. Maybe even if he never did anything, rumors of King Wolf doing great things have reached distant lands... or something like that. |

Yeah, it's alright, I really don't expect anyone to read through 20+ pages to join in (hence my occasional summarising posts, and all the more reason for starting a new one every so often), so I don't mind. Like I said, I actually found it rather hilarious. How in the world would rumors even start about him, though? He hasn't even been king for an entire day now, so.... Ergo, he may be suddenly suspicious of Bacon's motives for coming to Dunburrow.... |

I was too lazy to look up what memorandum is in Latin XDDD
About Emma, I wasn't sure. I seem to have remember her joining, but you're right, it was during the GWRP and not the coronation. Whooooops. *goes to edit post*
Like your idea of unrest in other places, Wolf.

Let's just say there's another King Wolf. A famous one, that Sir Bacon naturally got confused with this one.
Or, better yet, rumors started when he was a Knight/Prince/Not-the-king.

Pyro: Well, the dictionary said memorandum comes from the Latin word memorandum, so...... Kit: It's on the way, I promise. Coming up...as soon as I edit it and post. Bacon: Unfortunately, Wolf has never been a prince *mumblesatleastnotahumanonemumble*, and the most he did as a knight was befriend Shino. Though, then again, rumors of that love affair could certainly spread far and wide in seconds. However, if the Guild Wars RP was actuality....that's one tale he could be known for. Then again, I provide another possibility in my upcoming post. :grins: ^_^ Zari: Good luck. Don't let it fall on you, and watch out for that oil leak. * * * And for those who want one, a summary: Zari leaves for the city. Her informant tells her there’s been some ill feeling towards the new king.
Sir Bacon comes to the castle and demands audience before the king. The others, all inside once more, allow him entry; Zari opens the door for him as she returns. He approaches King Wolf and says his country’s been attacked and their attacker is coming this way. Emma joins them with her dog Icth and introduces herself. Pyro leaves the library and joins the others, asking for King Wolf. Meanwhile, Bacon goes to the stables.
Kit, in searching for Maya, is approached by a creature who presents him with a part of Maya's clothing and the corpse of a kestrel. He then calls for the council members telepathically and tells them to head towards the War Room. Shade hears the call and runs towards Kit. Zari admits to Wolf what she heard in the city and retreats to her room to further consider things. Pyro asks Wolf what happened because her flameblade sensed some magic. * * * And, you know, since our roleplays started, I've written more than a collective 53,000 words for King Wolf's character. I think that's just awesome. ^_^ And, again, I'm sorry 1274 words of that are in my last post. I...uh...I guess I just got carried away in making sure I made sure Wolf experienced everything that had gone on since his last post. -_- I'll try really hard to make sure my posts never get so big again. |

Um, Sir Fuzz, the only Knights presently on a hill are inactive... >_> Those you really want to join with are just inside the castle, standing around and thinking about food. Unless you want to find Bacon in the stables, but again, that's kinda thinking about food.
AND...if no one has any objections, I'm going to start a new RP thread on the third (I'll likely be at my Dad's this weekend and thus probably won't be able to do it on the first or second). Up until that time, however, feel free to continue in our present thread: The next RP will pick up where this one leaves off, with enough time elapsed that all dead plotlines can be summed up and swept aside and we won't need too much backstory-ing to get into the new plot (which will be explained in my opening post).
What would be most-useful now would be if Kit could answer Wolf's pressing question, even if succinctly. That way, I can more logically construe that element of this RP to the next. I could probably manage without it, but his input here would be most helpful.

I could probably manage without it, but his input here would be most helpful. Kit has been under rather silly amounts of stress lately, with the year ending and all, but he'll get a reply up today. He won't be around for the first few days month or so of the new roleplay though. Good luck. *edits the post* |
