The Great Hall - General Guild Chat

^___^ I'd say no problem Wolf except I can't post for General Alec.

Well I guess someone (or I) could be General Alec, but I'm not really sure what you wanted to know.

I'm away for 10 days, starting today at 11pm GST. Here it'll be 11am on Thursday. I'm currently constructing an excuse-post. aka Zari feels nauseous.

Anyone can post for General Alec and Casandra, even for other as-yet unnamed people in the caravan.

If you're referring to what information Casandra wanted, though, you mentioned that Kuje (I didn't just butcher his name, did I?) had information that she could want, so I guess Casandra's just curious what you have.... She suspects you're a spy, too, so.... :shrugs: I really had nothing in mind for what she wanted to hear, since I figured that, very soon, the scene would end anyways and they'd all storm the castle peacefully enter the city. xD

I really have no plans for the caravan beyond any single post. I want them to be controlled in part by all of us, so there's a bit of unpredictability to what they'll do next, so I really haven't taken to planning anything long-term for them. If people wanted to plot with them like people plotted in the last GWRP (where people plotted upcoming scenes over PM), that could work out really well. It's just a shame there's so few of us active at the moment, though. -_-

EDIT :: Oh, and I'd catch up on the RP tonight, but I'm trying to get to bed earlier, so I need to forego doing so another night. I'm sorry, guys... -_- I really, really, really hope to get it all read tomorrow.

And, of course, happy new year, everyone!

XDD, unfortunately you did just butcher his name. It's KOJE. Don't worry, it's kind of a hard name to remember.

As for that, now that I know what she wants I can just give it out. *scuttles off*

ANNOUNCEMENT

Although I have been gone a while, I do pray that the King Wolf will forgive my absence and allow me to make one bold statement.

I am joinging the NTWF once again. I will be fully devoted to the KONTWF and will pay close attention to the leadership, the growing period, and the future role-plays of this guild. If King Wolf would be so kind as to message me I would be eternally grateful about this.

Thank you for putting up with my leaving and my apparent ignorance of the importance of the GuIld Wars series. I love you all, platonically, and I hope that we can astrive for a better Guild in the future. Thank you all for doing such a wonderful job thus far. Til' a bit later. Fare thee well.

~Shino~

P.S.

I do not know if I am joining the current Knights RP yet as I am unsure what the situation is and whether I am accepted back or not. Maybe probation. lol But once again for the millionth time, thank you. The White Knight is back.

[Deleted]

SHINO!!!!!!! ^_^

Of course you're welcomed back! Why would you ever think you wouldn't be?

Nevermind that. The point is, you're back and you're welcome to be here for as long as you want to be.

* * *

For more inspiration on what our capital could be called, I went and recovered some names that were tossed around for the castle's name. I figure, they might prove inspiring here.

From Shino&mdash

Dragomir
Mira (Peace)
Solomon
Vladimir

From Zari&mdash

Hue could be considered as names, as they refer to the range of colour knights we have.

From Pyro—

Pacis is Latin 'Peace'

Munimenti means 'of protection'
Patronorum means 'of the defenders' or 'of the protectors'.

More from Shino—

Palisade

From me—

Chromos, from the Latin word translateth to English as color.

[Bacon]

I don't know, Chromos sounds like the more well known Chronos, which means time, and the city doesn't have much to do with time, does it?

Well, it is ancient...

But I see your point.

Chromos, you ARE the weakest link. Goodbye.

Literally. *dodges some stones* Man, these ceilings haven't been redone in AGES...I kid, I kid

Edit: And Wolf...silence is golden, but gold is not silent?

I tried calling the contractors, but then I realised we didn't have any phones to use.

And, YES, that's what it means! ^_^ It makes me happy when I can translate something into Latin, but it makes me simply giddy when others can translate it into English and get what I meant to say! -^_^-

I did a quick search, and I actually became fond of the name Palisade for the capital. A palisade is a wooden fence built around a small establishment while a larger stone wall is erected, and that could work out well. Consider if, when Dunburrow was just starting out, the castle was a small wooden shack (they were just starting out, after all) with a fence of wooden stakes around it. It was called the palisade, because it wasn't really a city so much as a temporary dwelling. But then the kingdom grew up out of it, and the original palisade was replaced, but the settlement kept its name. Thus we have today, Palisade.

That makes sense, gives the kingdom a little bit of a backstory AND is a cool-sounding name.

I like that too. :3

... Although I was fond of Falcorum as well, to stick with the birdy names. >.>

Mm, brings back memories of last year's History project. Build and name all the parts of a Castle. Mine had a cardboard shoebox palisade and cardboard walls.

Ahem. Anyways, I like Palisade and Falcorum the best. definitely beats the suggestion my grandma gave me - Bravissimo.
