WElllll Mercenary starts seem somewhat slow and boring to me. you could however play as a caravan guard. Remember that each player starts with 3 ducats and a regiment is 1, and a major skill is also 1. So you'd proly be dropping at least 1 D on regiments.

Polca, is north of Ligoria, and directly east of Galam.

If you're considering a caravan guard position, why not join up with the Thornbred Knights? The biggest, the baddest, the bestest. Thornbred Knights: "Bringing the Rose and Thorn to every engagement.(tm)

Polca is where things are happening that ain't meetings and such. It's soon to be a growing state, where talent is rewarded.

So CG, I'm guessing my action is useless roll wise?

[Shootandrun]

Hey CG, can you tell me how much money is left in the treasury?

[Ardas]

Hey, was my tactics training rolled for or not? I haven't seen any evidence of it.
Also, I assume I have enough money now due to Kathos's money transfer. Is it ok if I post recruitment figures?

[CyberGenesis]

go ahead

And actually i meant to post about anyone that needs training rolls to say something now

Training also doesnt mean much right away. I'd like to get it all out at once if possible.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Swordsmanship training with Ardas for me.

Guys, we need to breathe a little life back into this. OOC is useless for most purposes and forgotten, while IC is too big for any new players to catch up.
I propose we keep things as they are, but start new OOC and IC. Spring update is perfect for it, with new rules and so on, we can do a mini-revival of this.

I had a little talk with Shootandrun and it became apparent that the game as it is now is not really thrilling. But seeing the invested time and effort it would be a shame to throw away our PCs or the setting. To an extent, some of it is due to the fact that people are on at differnet times and that GMs are people too and have thieir own things going on. But that does not stop us from speeding up the pace by encouraging more people to join. Current PCs, seen as the big players, can offer posts for new PCs, delegate and get people onboard of their quests.

Yeah, quests or tasks of various kind. So far this has been a pretty relaxed, almost sandbox affair and it seems that it is too slow and open for anyone to do anything meaningful. I'm having fun, but only because I have engaged in a quest while Shoot, vagel and others are left to their own devices, but not really doing anything without a GM to give them some thing to do.

And boy, is GMing for this thing a chore. We had our ups and downs, but GMs remain the engine of the entire thing, and should not be bored out of their minds while PC just sit there and wait. Its a curious case of disengagement between players and GMs, again due to the freeform nature and verry erratic presence of players online. But that should not discourage us.
I have my quest. I recall someone having their own quest lined out and we should encourage each other to work together more.

Another, last thing: YaK is assumed to be a game of political intrigue and power. We kinda let it go all over the place and PCs have little incentive to stay in Ligoria, be it due to the relatively little power there or simple lack of anything interesting. Do we keep the format open as it is or do we want specific changes in focus or scope of the game?
I personally would be in favour of reducing the playing field and encourage people to stay closer to everyone else by making the playing area smaller.

I agree...except with the last bit about forcefully limiting player space. But I'll be outvoted on that front.

Anyway...
READ THE THING ABOVE ME. OR SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN TO YOU.

Well, I do agree with you that we can't have an ARBITARY player limit. The rest is good though.

[Dwarmin]

Heh. If most of my stuff was not 'meaningful', it was still fun for me.

I mean, the Gm's told me to cut back on the RP, and then they ignored my actions. So, I figured I was on my own.

Go team Storm Coast.

You make it sound like the whole world, or plots and our characters are dying...0.o

Also: Your RP kept it from totally dying in slow places.

[CyberGenesis]

And way to ignore every arguement we made Dwarmin

For probably the 20th time now: Our complaint about RP IN GENERAL, not just yours, was that there have been points were several pages were nothing but RP - Immediately followed by people bitching in IRC about how the game was slow and nothing was happening. Simple answer to that was "Less actionless RP, more rollable content" which of course you immediately took as a personal attack and buggered off for like 2 weeks to pout. <- Truth which you admitted to yourself in IRC several times along the lines of "I won't be around unless I'm needed." Meaning you were intentionally leaving yourself, with TWO cahracters nonetheless, in a pseudo-NPC status refusing to do anything that involved a roll.


File: You have Veruna and Zema switched in position

Spring will bring a little more content from both Terenos and myself into teh game to push things along, but it would also be nice if people would stop playing with blinders and adamantly attempting to follow a single path. This isnt a rail-shooter, its a rather large world that you have several means to your individual ends. We've told most of you the story of our D&D group dubbed "Team Dragon" - not every solution can be solved with "Light it on fire"
