Ok so we're all going to have our opening post at our own kingdom correct? Then a few of us will receive invitations, who can be arranged here, to either the Evermore feast or the Northpoint feast, or they could just stay put. Then we'll have the feasts and other posts and what not and then everything will be done for the opener thing I guess.

Northpoint probably wont invite anyone from Wayrest of Daggerfall since they don't really want anything to do with either of them and their conflict. Evermore will probably invite everyone in High Rock regardless of their allegiance

So anything else I'm missing? If not I guess I could open the thread for posting tonight since some of us have our posts ready.

What shall my lowly court Wizard do? Mingle with the powerful lordy-lords?

I was just going to have my first post as my character recieving her invitation to this making of a Lord. And that would be held in the court of Wayrest, wouldn't it?

Or is that meant to be in Evermore..?

Hmm, he might come along with Astien and Arniel to crash the Northpoint feast

Or perhaps he could start a really big experiment?

I thought Syllawen was throwing it the party/feast thing? Oh, I see what you mean. The new Duke has already been made, so I guess the feast is wherever.

And yeah, all of our first posts would set up our characters and detail what they're going to do as far as the feasts go or how their going to start out. I'm sure a few people wont be going to the feasts at all.

[Russell Davies]

Also, as of right now there is no conflict between Daggerfall and Wayrest, it's kind of like a cold war that will escalate into conflict in a bit. Right now everyone is just trying to gain as much power as they can before the [censored] hits the fan.

Crash a party? Consider it done!
And dont you worry about that experiment *evil secrets*

[Casey]

Okay, could I start by Syllawen sending out invitations to all the lords in High Rock to go to her Ball to come then? And skip the other ceremony? The coolness of having lots of characters on opposite alliances in one place is fun (not that everyone would come, but still )

[Beat freak]

I personally think there should only be one feast. There's really no reason to split us all up. And perhaps we should all start at it, and just do flashbacks to accepting the invitation or anything prior to it. It'll get things in motion better.

[no_excuse]

Hmm. I like that idea.

Alright, Syllawen is going to throw the party at Evermore, I take it that's ok with you Vincent, and everyone can come or not come depending on how they play there character.

I can tell you Senhyn isn't going. He hates parties

Maybe some fool will get in a duel with Astien there as well, that would be entertaining.

I agree with this. It'll make everything run smoother, and mean that I won't have to create characters for the King/Queen of Northpoint, since they can just have sent Elissa as a representative. Even though it means scrapping the post I already have written.

Also, does anyone mind if I try out a couple posts in first-person, present-tense instead of the traditional third-person, past-tense style? Maybe it's just my recent obsession with the Hunger Games series, but I'm feeling like that style will work better for this.

[Rhiannon Jones]

Okay, that works fine by me. Everyone's first post can involve them receiving the invitation.

One last thing, when does the RP start??? As in, what time of year?! We need something to celebrate, after all..

[Josee Leach]

Meanwhile, a work in process, but I thought you guys might like this. http://i41.tinypic.com/121ps78.png, this time Syllawen Direnni is taking a stroll around her Kingdom.

[Talitha Kukk]

Is 1,400 words too large for an opening post? xD

I think you should. I've also taken a liking to George R.R. Martin's style of 3rd person limited. It makes the story so much better and adds an edge of suspense.

Hmm, how does Turdas, the 15th of Second Seed in the 28th year of the 4th era sound?

Perfect.

Actually, I have an idea. Could the date of the Feast be the 11th of Frostfall? The Festival Of Peace, marking the period of stability High Rock caused by The Warp in the West? Thematically it is cool to start on the Festival of Peace (I just made it up), and also starting in winter means we can get that season out of the way during the peacetime, because a war in winter is pretty much impossible. Good idea?

Sounds good to me! Didn't think of it that way. I thought with Syllawen being all eccentric that it would fit to have the festival in spring when she could make the place look like a living rainbow

[DAVId Bryant]

Oh boy! I love parties!

[Leticia Hernandez]

It probably looks like one anyway... maybe I'm inspired by it being colder than Oblivion in London right now, I don't know. But I imagined the feast all based around warm fires in the sprawling, labyrinthine Castle Evermore.

When is it okay to post our first posts? I'm writing mine up now.

[Josh Trembly]

I feel like I am going to be the only one who writes his post up when the RP starts. My microsoft word does NOT like pasting. And the forums do not like it either. L

[Sophie Morrell]

I'm writing mine up now in the browser. I might just post it before I go to bed, if that is okay. It sort of sets the scene for the others if they are to involve the invitations, so I guess there is no harm..?

EDIT:

Sorry, I gotta go to bed and I might not be back on til tomorrow evening, so I disobeyed the giant letters and posted.

Regarding the invitations, they are short because by now Castle Evermore's reputation speaks for itself. Anyone who knows anything about court politics in the last year will know what type of thing to expect from this feast (or more, know that they DON'T know what to expect). And, needless to say, the final version isn't identical to that template

Anyway enjoy I will now sleep for Evermore

You probably shouldnt have done that... But it was a fantastic post! heheho

I'm doing the same. I find it hard to write without doing it then and there. I get moments of inspiration and go on that instead of pre-writing things. I find it easier to write better posts like that. Which is why I fail so bad at all the fanfics I try to write

Well we agreed on Thursday so you did nothing wrong

Posting is now open, I'll have mine up tonight after I get done with pole vaulting this after noon. Have a bunch of newbies I have to train up.

[Danger Mouse]

I saw that some of the older RPs from a long time ago used to use chatrooms to talk about the RP alongside threads. Personally I think that would be a good idea for the times when discussion is needed and posting on here could be too slow.

[Cagla Cali]

For the Immortal Blood Timeline we've used many different chat rooms. Mostly right now Facebook since we're all pretty close there. However I have Skype, Teamspeak (which is great for voice conferences), MSN Messenger, Facebook, and Steam. So whichever is good for all of you is ok with me. Skype and Teamspeak are the easiest for groups in my opinion. Teamspeak more for voice and Skype for chat.

I'll get the teamspeak address for the BGSF Teamspeak and post it here when I get home today.

EDIT: And phenomenal post Vincent. i think Astien will get along just fine with the Queen
