amazing, yes."

yourself yet?"

Chocolate region of"

InvestSouthside pontificates, "I will scribe!"
Karrin states to InvestSouthside, "Have at."

Baz claims, "We should blow up parts of the kingdom more often"
Temi grins.
Meiari says, "Fairly good, I appreciate everyone's help with the header plot, and all of the
different insights I've gotten"
Rambling states, "Got quite a bit of RP done about the header."
InvestSouthside cries about paperwork
Temi nods in agreement.
Temi states, "I've definitely seen lots from all different sides. I think it was literally like a
dozen different plots"
Karrin claims, "I'm glad that's going well! I know I haven't really been able to be around much this
week, but I promise it's not that I don't love you guys anymore. I've just had... life... exploding
in a rather unreasonable way."
Meiari finishes abruptly, "That's what happens when you blow up the liquor capital - everyone get
angy lol"
Karrin states to Temi, "Yeah, how dare you."
Temi comforts Karrin.
Scarry claims, "I think I did TERRIBLE and did NOTHING"
Scarry claims, "But I always feel like that."
Scarry exclaims, "I had a lot of fun!"
Karrin claims to Scarry, "You do sort of beat yourself up a lot. Quit that."
Temi claims, "I saw you in a couple different plots, so youre not doing a great job at nothing."
Sparkles states, "I had some interesting scenes this week. I do have a topic or some qualifying
questions on plot stuff if there's time."
Temi says, "Sure"
Karrin nods.
Karrin queries, "Any other topics?"
Rambling wonders, "One punch thug?"
Baz claims, "If you take away a dark cloaks toy, they get REALLY angry"
Rambling claims, "Yeah that wound up actually having an effect on roleplay."
Scarry pontificates, "A bad one!"

Temi grins.
Karrin has transferred trogdor. [OOC]
Rambling shock and awe
Temi finishes abruptly, "As mentioned, lots of engagement in plots, which I've been so excited to
see! Remember, you can submit up to one per week if you want, and I'll process - or start
processing - them on Sunday night"
PositronicJune muses, "One per character or person?"
Temi states, "I'm trying to get through them as quick as possible so you guys have as much of the
week as possible to incorporate it into roleplay"
Temi claims, "Per character, though remember that your different characters can't be involved in the
same aspect"
Karrin nods.
Temi claims, "On the timing thing, I did want to ask your guys' feedback on one thing"
Temi wonders, "So I've got some plans to advance the plots with new happenings. Would you rather I
get those out Sunday night, even if I can't get all the plots replied to already, or reply to plots
first, and the new announcement sometime during the week?"
Temi states, "I'm going to say no immediately changes in responses to account for those new
announcements, if you do want them right away"
Karrin has transferred Valora. [OOC]
Temi gives an overloaded caravan of little chocolate wagons and horses to Valora.
Valora claims, "Sorry I'm a bit late."
Meiari questions, "Oh.... oh that's a hard one... I almost feel like I'd rather plots be answered
first so we have information before the next lore drop?"
Sparkles states, "I think people's plots tend to react to what they knew at the time they submitted
them. So I would think last round, new announcement, folks have time to plan the next week
accordingly."
Eeel states, "Personally I'd rather the plots got replies first, and then the announcement happened"
Temi nods.
Karrin nods.
Temi wonders, "Anyone leaning in a different direction? Otherwise, sounds like I will get the plots
answered first, then new announcements"
Temi claims, "Hopefully with as much time as possible before the next round cut-off"
Karrin says, "That makes sense to me, too."
PositronicJune says, "I think that'd be my preference, plot answered first"
Temi exclaims, "Okay, that's me then!"
Temi nods at Karrin.
Scarry says, "I agree with Eeel."
Eeel says, ":D"
Baz states, "I agree with Scarry who agrees with Eel"
PositronicJune claims, "I also agree with El"
Temi says, "You're such an agreeable bunch."
Temi grins.
Karrin states, "As you have likely been able to tell, I have not been around. Between my mother
being in the hospital, and family and responsibility chaos surrounding that and also doing the whole
obligatory job thing, I've just not had the brain power. I apologize."
Baz states, "Agr-eel-able"
Temi comforts Karrin.
PositronicJune says, "I feel like the playerbase's been quiet in general"
Karrin says, "So, no updates from me."
Temi claims, "If anyone has an 'in' with fate, feel free to tell them to stop dumping on Karrin."
Karrin claims, "It has been a pretty rough couple of years. I'd love to have some luck that isn't
bad, but we know how it goes."
Baz claims, "I'm sorry Karrin
"Meiari claims, "D: I'm sorry Karrin, I hope it gets better soon"
Eeel states, "Same Karrin, I hope things ease up for you"
Valora declaims, "Fingers cross for you Karrin!"
Karrin claims, "Oh, goodness. Don't need that, though thank you. Just letting you know what's going
on so you don't think I'm abandoning you all."
Scarry claims, "Good luck Karrin :<"
Scarry says, "And real life always takes precedence. I remember you told me so before. "
Karrin claims, "Ok! Let's move on over to Sparkles, as they have a topic. If anyone else thinks of
something, lemme know."
Karrin states to Scarry, "Yeah, I remember. And, I always mean it."
Baz pontificates, "Oh, I have something!"
PositronicJune states, "You know what'd be really cool? Gambesons and brigandine armors.
Also help map of vavard seems to have water where darav/samralier should be"
Karrin says to Baz, "Alright, we'll have you go next."
Scarry states, "Let Sparkles give her topic first."
PositronicJune wonders, "Sparkles?"
Sparkles says, "So, I have some clarification questions on the plot stuff, sort of on point with
some of the things other folks are tossing out."
Baz says, "Yeah, I butted in line"
Temi claims, "Yeah, map's west side is ignoring what's really there in favor of simplification it
seems"
Temi nods at Sparkles.
Sparkles states, "So some mapping questions are kind of coming up. IE - where exactly Capua is
relative to the Straight etc? As that seems to kind of a point of contention/opinion and might
change some people's plans."
Eeel questions, "Like is it on the coast or not?"
Fiath says, "It's in out thoughts and prayers"
PositronicJune states, "It looked to me like the bottom of Capua is the end of the strait"
Eeel states, "The city itself I mean"
Temi claims, "I'm using map of kingdom as the general layout of where they relate to each other,
though the Samralier side along there is established as cliffs, not landing"
Temi claims, "So the city would likely be along the strait, yeah"
Sparkles pontificates, "Okay, thank you for that one!"
Sparkles wonders, "I have a second question if that's okay?"
Valora questions, "If I can add to that as a related question the strait is near impossible to sail
right? The Kirulean and the canal connecting the Dralth and Kirulean are sailable if rougher?"
Temi finishes abruptly, "Not impossible, but definitely high on the treacherous side - probably near
impossible in winter, though"
Temi states, "I'm good with all the clarifications being one topic"
Karrin nods.
Valora claims, "Right right ok. So I got right then just wanted to check so I wasn't telling people
BS."
Temi nods.
Scarry exclaims, "Okie dokie!"
Sparkles says, "So, with some plot answers and the King's thoughts, etc, I admit I'd kind of
internalized 'things will be easier in the spring' with travel as kind of an IC version of a soft
note from staff about there being a timeline/plan on pushing things once we move to spring. But I
guess I'm checking if that was an accurate interpretation as folks do seem to want to move things
faster."
Valora quietly cancels plot to send all the Knights to Samralier by see this week.
Baz turns his canoe around from the Levusto straight
Temi claims, "Yeah, I built that in as a way of slowing things down a little bit for you guys to
have time to plan more. Though I'm not opposed to people wanting to jump right in, with accepting
the extra risk"
Temi says, "But at least not make people who want to be more careful and considering feel bad about
taking the time to get some good scenes in for a few weeks"
Trogdor is idle.
Rambling states, "Meanwhile I'm staring of vaguely northward."
Temi grins.
Scarry states, "Well, it's mostly the aid missions we are considering for this stuff."
Temi nods.
Sparkles claims, "I mostly didn't know if other folks also saw things the way I did, and didn't want
there to be any confusion."
Temi questions, "Yup. That got everyone on the same page then? There's definitely different ways
to handle it"
Scarry states, "Yeah."
Karrin nods.
Karrin claims, "Alright."
Karrin queries to Baz, "You had a topic?"
Baz pontificates, "I did! But I kinda forgot what my question was
"PositronicJune declaims, "Sad!"
Valora claims, "F in the chat for Baz's topic."
Baz claims, "I think it was 'rumor' related"
Karrin states, "Alright, if you can think of it, you are welcome to bring it to next week's
meeting."
Karrin asks, "Anyone else have a topic?"
trogdor is no longer idle.
Trogdor has returned from AFK.
Scarry declares, "Not me!"
Valora claims, "Can't think of anything."
Sparkles states, "More rumors? Always more rumors."
Meiari says, "I had too many chocolate chips and now can't think"
Valora looks at Meiari confusedly.
Temi claims, "Or not enough yet."
Temi nods at Meiari.
Karrin states, "If you post more rumors - even if they aren't true and they're about Aunt Mertyl
being confused about what plant she put in the garden, it allows others to get more IP."
Karrin exclaims, "But anyway!"
Baz exclaims, "Oh - plot related rumors, more of those too! MORE"
Valora wonders, "Wait what?"
Fiath prefers non plot rumors
Sparkles claims, "Also if you don't want to post things, but you want to spread hot tea ICly. The
Bards have an anonymous gossip tipline mail account."
Valora claims, "Oh shoot I so rarely write rumors I see now."
Karrin states, "Alright! If there are no other topics, I'll boot you all back to the grid."
Rambling claims, "So we can mail the bards 'TIFFANY FROM IGLISRICH IS A FRIBBLE' or some ancient
insult like that"
PositronicJune muses, "Do the bards actually?"
Karrin states, "I mean, nothing ever said rumor shave to be about real people."
Karrin states, "They spur RP by existing, people reacting to them."
Rambling states, "Some NPCs around grid need a kick in the pants honestly"
Fiath says, "That sounds like dead end RP "
Rambling claims, "In a social way, but also literally."
Sparkles claims, "They do, yeah. It's 'Harlequin' we used to publish an IC newspaper type thingie
when we got enough gossip."
Valora claims, "Yeah they do, Rambling. I now OOC have an issue with reading Auburn hair because of
this game."
PositronicJune states, "Wuh"
Rambling states, "That Guy is a Gag (I gag him)"
Karrin states, "Heh, alrighty. You guys have an absolutely wonderful week, and we'll chat next week
again. Same bat time, same bat channel."
Karrin pontificates, "Say bye, everybody!"
Sparkles waves.
Rambling states, "I refuse."
InvestSouthside waves
Eeel says, "Byeeee"
Temi waves.
Valora waves.
