Okay, currently the name Alanna is in first place along with the borders domain. The only thing left is for people to decide on a weapon.

Two votes for Alanna is enough to qualify for the first place? :(

It's either that or Ted, and it doesn't seem like people are changing their name votes. If people vote for something else, we'll go with that. I didn't mean to squelch any new names or anything.

I still insist on our weapon being a summoned creep of some kind. Preferably a cat. Named Chen. With whom we'll hold regular conversations so we don't go insane.

So far, the following items have been suggested as weapons:

A mailbox
A mace
A club
A khopesh
A spiked chain
A cat
And an umbrella.

Summoning would be a power, not a weapon, so the cat is an invalid choice. Similarly, the mailbox is too modern to be a valid weapon (I did say in the first post that weapons couldn't be modern).

If we could reach a consensus about both the weapon and the name, it would be much appreciated.

Can't we get some kind of a permanent familiar that is more like a pet?

How bout we get a concrete weapon right now and worry about that later.

Goddamn, could someone just agree with someone else if only to get this thing going.

Maybe. It'll happen in the game itself, though; not during character creation.

EDIT:
...someone just agree with someone else...

It'd be nice if this could happen.

A knife/athame? Good for carving runes or symbols and good for stabbing any enemy that gets too close. Alternatively we could go for the classics and get a quarter staff. 2 to 3 yards of hard wood as the London Masters of Defence used to swear by. :P

A quarterstaff it is.

Okay. We went from five choices with one vote each, and instead of starting the adventure by choosing from that list we now have 9 single vote choices.

I'd switch just to get this thing started, but I still have the vague hope that someone else will recognize that beating someone over the head with an umbrella is hilarious. More importantly the imagery of threatening someone with an umbrella and being able to deliver upon that promise.
