Can't wait to post for Varyn. Have some rather good stuff planned.

Definitely better than what it used to be! I notice one thing you can improve upon, and that is to keep the same "time" when you write, rather than mixing between past and present.
For example:
"It appeared to be an ordinary village. Yet it was too massive to be one. It has to be Valton."
The two first sentences here are past-time, it appeared to be, and it was. But in the last sentence, it's present-time, has. I believe you can improve your posts a little by choosing one of these two times, as mixing them up sort of breaks the flow (at least for me).
I noticed that. I usually don't do that but I was just too lazy to notice that mistake. I'll work on that on my next posts/
I was looking forward to have Alguidar find Titus because of his thing with the Empire but having reread your post, I realize that he'd probably find Valton on the western road and not the road where the farm is, so I'd have to twist into a pretzel to put Alguidar on the other side.
We can still make this work. Since you mentioned that he travelled off the road, and that he only saw Valton when he got on the road again, it's entirely possible that he missed Valton by travelling east across the forest south of Valton and only found the road on that turn near the farm. If this works for you, I'd still be happy to have Alguidar find him. Otherwise, it's probably better if Gorbad or a guard find him somewhere on the western road.
I don't deal with western business, I only deal with the cool side of Valton.
Edited my sheet once again. Am I clear to post yet?
Of course. If you are using a character from the old RP they are more or less insta-accepted
That could possibly work. And I do like the idea of a pro stormcloak ironically saving a (ex) Imperial soldier.
And another question, should Alguidar witness the soldiers executing Titus? Or should he just happen to find Titus shortly after they stabbed him?
I updated his wiki page and added him to the thread character list, to make it official
I don't know. I'll do what I always do. I just start typing keys at random and see what happens. Works every time.
Alright. Looking forward to Alguidar's reaction.
Given how slow moving Asap tells me OPAP is, I fear that we won't be seeing you for awhile :<
I'd actually really, really recommend learning to RP here. It is a very low stake, character based RP that is very very friendly. Valton is absolutely ideal for a first ever RP. OPAP is very advanced and involves reading some LONG LONG stuff, some of the more experienced Rpers like me and Person from Alticlere just like to go crazy and make posts as long as chapters. There is none of that here. Good luck in OPAP though, I hope you stick around. Its probably one of the highest demand RPs I've ever been in, but then again I am the GM there >,<. We are Rping an entire province and everyone within it there .
Valton is just...love.
Oh, and, yeah. I'll totally gonna post here soon. I promise.
I completely agree with Vincent, there's a lot more effort involved with OPAP. I would not suggest that to learn to RP. Plus, here's a nice little bed story:
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, someone stumbled on this corner of the forums, just like you did. Everything looked so confusing and everything looked so awesome. "Is this a thing?? What's OOC? Where do I go? What do I do?" he asked, annoying the [censored] out of everyone. Vincent suggested to this fledgling, to try out Valton or OPAP. Yup, that was me. Some things never change
Finally getting around to reading up on the thread. Expect a post sometime this week.
EDIT: As everyone else is saying, Valton is much friendlier to newer writers than OPaP.
Things like OPaP and the Immortal Blood Timeline take a LOT of time and effort to be a part of. The last RP we had going in the IBT lasted well over a year and a half. OPaP has been going on for a year, and it will probably continue for another year or two, maybe longer.
Lexicon, Valton would be a great fit for you. It was my first RP as well, and while I did have a pretty awful character and writing style, I was able to grow and learn from it. Think of it as a stepping stone to OPAP.
It was a good premise to the wounded soldier's past, but requires certain checks on punctuation and spellings.
That does not mean I will not praise it though; I myself am actually hoping for a follow up on the dream state storyline.
You most likely will. As chances are, Titus won't remain concious for too long.
so... post's up. I don't really like it. But I didn't want to keep you guys waiting on me. (also, I'm sorry about sort of character controling alguidar and titus into the house. But I figured (hoped) you guys wouldn't mind because that was sort of the whole idea, no?)
Your post's text is pretty big, at least it looks bigger than the other text in the forum. Did you write it first in a word-document? If so, it's easy to change it to be the same size as the other text in the thread, by changing it to Arial, size 10,5.
I still didn't manage to read it but I would welcome some character control to avoid a series of small posts. No worries.
