[Announcement] Messages from the Game Operations Director

[Pilgrim]

I'll be using this thread to make any announcements and mention important news.

[Pilgrim]

Don't forget, I'll be making "official" versions of everyone's character sheet. So you don't need to make one if you don't want to.

[Pilgrim]

Right, so here's the plan. I'll do some finishing work on character sheets tonight. What I don't get through, I'll do tomorrow, including equipment. I'll also go ahead and put up the first post of the game tomorrow so you can start RPing. (It feels appropriate to wait until the first of the year to start the game.) Character sheets will be flexible at first, so if you decide to make changes you can - but after a certain point, they'll be "locked". (This will happen before the first combat.)

[Pilgrim]

Don't forget your character's divine focus or spell component pouches, if you are a caster! Remember, if it says M/DF you need one or the other, depending on arcane or divine. If it says M or DF, though, you need the appropriate item, not an either/or.

[Pilgrim]

As a reminder, I update Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays (and sometimes less important ones in between), in the evenings. So next update will be tomorrow night. I'm giving you leeway to create NPCs if you want - my list hardly covers all of Sandpoint's residents. Also, 11cclark has dropped due to technical difficulties, so we are down to 6.

[Pilgrim]

Since only 1 person has posted since my last update, I'm going to skip this one. Next Tuesday will be my next one.

[Pilgrim]

I apologize, there will be no update tonight. Well, last night technically. Some friends of mine kept me out late.

BTW, Season of the Witch I give 4 out of 5 stars.

I'll do an update tomorrow night to make up for it.

[Pilgrim]

Character sheets will be locked in after tonight's update, so if you see any problems let me know. Rilibast, you are the exception to that since I haven't finished your official sheet yet, but that will be up tonight and locked in as soon as you post an action in the game thread after the update.

[Pilgrim]

Ignore that last - I'm delaying locks until Thursday.

Also, I'm implementing a new "attendance" policy. If you stop posting in game threads, and I haven't gotten warning of absence, you have three weeks. If you haven't started posting in game threads in that time, I'm going to drop you. I like continuity, so your character will stick around until convenient to leave, but his hit points and Con score both drop to 1, almost ensuring death in one hit. If you return after this, and your character is still around, I'll let you join back in... once.

This means corporeal has until the 25th to post and Firkraag has until the 26th to post.

[Pilgrim]

Sorry about the late update, I'll have it up today.

[Pilgrim]

It's rilibast's fault for not ending his game tonight on time. An hour and a half late, plus extra travel time... update tomorrow afternoon instead. :|

[Pilgrim]

Ordinarily, tonight I would finish round three and stop at Mouse for round four, but as neither Keiran nor elfman6 has posted an action and so it would simply be a bunch of NPC actions, I'm not going to update tonight. (This will change if either posts in the next two hours.) Tuesday's update will finish round three, however, regardless of who has/has not posted.

[Pilgrim]

Since my last update was late, and hardly anyone has posted, I'll be delaying tonight's as well. It'll be done tomorrow night instead.

[Pilgrim]

We aren't quite done with this fight yet. In fact, there are supposed to be three separate battles during this part of the plot. However, to speed things up I am going to have them go on at the same time, and each a bit weaker. For those without weapons... well, the situation isn't ideal, but each of the goblins was carrying a small dogslicer.

[Pilgrim]

Well, it appears I will not be updating tonight, but this time it isn't my fault! :P
