Sorry if I haven't updated the list of dorfable dorfs yet.
Lo and behold, I prepared the OP update with the new dwarves, but something went wrong and I'll have to re-edit that. Too tired to do it now. In the meantime I'll just post screen caps for the migrants wave.
I appreciate Spirallances_ contributions. You can tell he was very careful about staying true to Uzol while still adding her own touch to the character.
I feel like this is a good time to make a few things clear though.
I hope everybody understands I'm putting lots of effort into crafting this story. It might not show, but I'm trying tho think and plan things quite carefully, which takes a lot of time and prepping work. Not to mention that not being a natural english speaker only makes things quite a bit harder for me.
While I'm perfectly fine with you being creative about how things might be going from your dorf's point of view, I politely ask present and future players to resist the tentation with introducing original elements of your own mind to the story.
Because of that, I'll retcon Spiral's entry as follows (also, I ask the previous posts to be edited accordingly, if possible):
- Uzol never saw Minkot reading the letter (in fact it might very well be that Minkot already destroyed the letter, as implied in the introduction).
- Uzol never stole anything. I prefer you leave things like theft and conflict (fist fights, or worse) to me, as these can potentially lead to pretty wild consequences if out of check.
- For god's sake, there's no note implying Minkot (or any other dorf) might be a vampire. Please just adhere to whatever was already established in my updates.
It's okay for Uzol to have seen Minkot reading the book, as he even lent it to Zon for a while. It's also fine for Uzol to be legitimately curious about it. But, as a rule of thumb, a player should refrain from stating what happens in the story next. That's the sort of things which should be left to the story's author (i.e. to me).
I don't want Spirallance to feel like I'm scolding him or anything like that. I'm just taking the chance to further clarify what my stance is about different things that I'm willing to let roleplayers do. Remember this is the first time I'm running a community fort, so I don't feel confident about letting players too much freedom about some critical aspects, as I'm not confident I would be able to manage eventual issues which might arise. Ultimately, what I care the most about is the story's quality and consistency. I'm not willing to sacrifice that for any amount of players' fun.
Otherwise, I really liked and appreciated Spirallance_'s contribution.
Regarding player-to-player (or dorf-to-dorf) interactions, try and limit yourself to things which have been implied or suggested in my updates already. It's also fine if you touch on things which are very clearly not going to alter characters or the story in any potentially harmful way. Just use caution and everything shall go smoothly.
As for interacting with me or minkot, you can just state clearly your intention and then wait for me to post a reply.
For instance, Spirallance_ might post about Uzol saying something to Minkot. But it's still up to me (not the player) to say what Minkot's replay or actions are going to be.
If, at any point, you're in doubt about whether or not something you have in mind would be appropriate or not, feel free to send me a PM about it and I shall come back at you ASAP.
