Yeah, nothing yet Bloo, but I'm more than happy to start a queue for when we get emigrants. Arc probably won't be a very happy character, seeing as how it's a war camp and all, but then again if he snaps and goes inane later on, we'll know why. =D
I decided to read it again as I was very sleepy the first time and I feel that Arc would be a good example of an ex liaison. you know the guys who beg and plead for you to stop cutting down the trees even when you are on a glacier. he should walk funny too, tip toeing around so he always steps in between the blades of grass  ;D

I'm seeing something wonky with the druids of this band seeing the forest as force less, I thought that Force was literally life force so wouldn't the fact that the things (grass, trees, animals) were alive mean the force was present, if weak. no need to say anything I don't want to adversely influence your story, but is this intentional? something to do with their any means necessary approach or the use of the dark aspects of the force?

I think he's using the Force more as a soul, rather than a literal "life force."  Of course, I could be wrong, and have been before, on many occasions.

Sooooo, I need some help deciding something.

Without really going into the messy details, I lost the Forest. Lost, not in the sense that anything in-game destroyed it, but lost as in "all progress, half a story write up, and even my notes of what had happened in the past in-game year" were vanished.

I spent a good portion of today trying to see if I could recover anything, but it's all ka-put.

Now I'm trying to decide if I should just start the forest over from scrap, retroactively changing last names on characters or just toss the idea on the pile. Hate to do that, but can't lie to say that having lost everything is pretty disheartening.

I say start the forest up again to were it was (a shelter, farm and whatever else you had) and just change stuff thats different, like last names and I'm sure people wouldn't mind to much if there character had a sex change.

This story had to much going for it to die!

I have to agree.  This story is far to amazing to simply let die.  You are an amazing author, and I would be quite saddened were this not to continue.

I agree with Metal Militia.  You can embark in the same area, and I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to find a group with 4 females and 3 males.  If the group doesn't have the right mix, just abort game and try again (you'll probably get it within 5 tries, max).  If you really want the last names to be the same, you can use Companion to change them (though I doubt anyone will really mind; the last names haven't fit prominently into the story yet).

The same from me.  Fortunately, it was only in the first year when the crash happened, so there shouldn't be too much to rewrite.  Definitely want to see more of this myself, though.  Thumbs up on the writing so far!

Oi, this thread is epic. Three pages in and I've felt like I've read all of Migrursut again. While not necessarily a bad thing, it certainly makes this story a bit difficult to get into. However, I'm glad I did.

Your excellent writing has attracted me to this thread. Since this is supposed to be a war camp, and it seems like there are already enough moody war elves to go around, what would your opinion be if I requested an antagonist, i.e., a human?
