Timeskip time soon? =D

[Draco]

I'm ok with it any time. I can only talking about packing my horse so much

[Shadaras]

Yeah, definitely timeskip soon. We'll skip to Silverkeep or the environs, unless there's a very good reason to do otherwise. I'll write a post out sometime tomorrow, so that everyone has time to prepare and object if they want to post one more time before the timeskip.

..also, I had deja vu writing the first part of that. Weird.

[Strife]

I just read the whole RP. I could always shake things up (or at least give you guys someone else to interact with) by jumping in as well. xD; A few questions:

- Are player characters limited to knight affiliation, or are guildless/NPC characters okay too?
- If my character is a knight, do I have to post an application in the Castle thread before jumping in? What about if they're an ex-knight?
- What kind of terrain lies between Castle Kestrel and Silverkeep? Open grassland, or more of a forested area?

Thankies in advance. :3

Not sure.
Not sure and not sure.

I think I know this one XD After looking at the two Guild World Maps, I can say it is mostly grassland, but then we hit a lot of forest.

By the looks of things, Silverkeep is at the foot of the Kage Mountains a bit. It's forested around the area, but from Hunty's map the trees seem to die off a little before Silverkeep?

-In the olden days of the guild, there was a sentence in the guidelines that specifically stated that your character didn't have to be a knight to be a part of the guild and the roleplay. It might still be there; I'll check. xD

-I don't think so. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. Any of the newer members who did post on the Castle thread didn't have to wait for any sort of approval before joining the roleplay, anyway. I'd say just posting a profile on the North Wing thread (main Guilds board) would be enough.

-...Yeah, I don't know. xD; I don't know if you read back on the OOC chatter enough to pick up on this, but the goal is to timeskip over that part of the journey anyway -- so I don't know if a lot of thought has been given to the in-between environment.

Dunno how helpful any of that is; fellow knightlings should please feel free to correct me.

[Shadaras]

Be whatever so long as it works with the guild

It'd be nice if you had your character posted somewhere for us to look at, but if you aren't a knight you don't need to post for knighting, I guess.

And I have no idea about the terrain; what Draco wrote is as good as much as I really thought about it.


And by the way, someone should seriously yell at me if I don't write a timeskip post soon. Unless Strife has a plan for something that'd happen during the journey, in which case I don't feel as bad about it and am curious.

[Strife]

Ooh, three posts already. ^_^

Thanks, Draco. :3 I'll just assume that there are some trees to whiz past.

As for my character, I think I'll go with knight affiliation, though he'll have been missing and presumed dead for some time. (My idea for the post, basically, is to have him appear in the forested area on the way to Silverkeep, or right next to it if the timeskip takes place before then.) Looking at the color guard list, I notice that Indigo isn't taken, but in the profile thread, Ikkin lists her color as Indigo instead of Blue. If, officially, it's blue, I'd like to yoink indigo. :3

[Shadaras]

As far as mantle color goes, Ikkin hasn't been active in the Knights for a while, so... personally, I don't mind you taking Indigo, especially since the list of knights has her as the Blue Knight, but you might want to ask Ikkin, just to be sure.

As far as the roleplay goes... I think it would be easier/faster for the roleplay if the timeskip to Silverkeep occurred and then your disappeared knight shows up.


..which means I really do need to write that post. Which means I'll probably end up getting something done soonish, as there are only so many things I can procrastinate on successfully at once.

[Draco]

That reminds me. I don't think the Blue Trio will ever have a RP together XD We're a team that never forms together

[Tam]

I just read back on the old Knights club thread fairly recently, actually, and I believe what happened is that Ikkin did request Indigo, but Shino decided to give her blue instead. xD Back when Shino controlled all.

Not that it really matters that much. I'm sure you could yoink it if you wanted. ^^

[KitClairvoyance]

I haven't done this here in ages.

I can join too? =D (I'll try to keep up, promise!)

Edit/Hint:

(This is where you smack me and say, "If your paws can't keep up with karmageddon, you'll slow everything down here! Don't be silly! You'll kill yourself!")

That's true. xD; Ikkin prefers to hang out with the pirates and mages anyway. It would actually be kindof amusing if the blue/indigo mixup was canon... matter of fact, I added that to the Other section of my knight's profile.

Speaking of which, I just posted it, so now I'll just wait for the timeskip as per Shade's request.

*pokes head in* The forests on that map are added on the basic theory of Let's Draw Some Triangles Here To Symbolise A Forest, Except Not Many Triangles Because It's Horribly Tedious Work. In other words, what the map shows terrain-wise isn't set in stone by any means xD I generally intend to fill it in with better-defined forests and mountains gradually (and with any luck get people to tell me just where the forests and mountains should end) but since my free time is so lacking these days, all forumstuff has taken the backburner for an indefinite amount of time. Long story short, feel free to define the area, I'll just edit the map accordingly.

[Shadaras]

Kitten - xD ...at the current rate of this roleplay, it'll be fine, I think. And having you roleplaying with us is fun. =D ...soyeah. Work yourself into the roleplay however you want, whenever you want; I trust you to not break it or anything.

Strife - Sounds good to me.
