Clansmen with a mountain full of shiny gold... The Dwarves want.

Don't wanna talk about it.

Just fyi guys, I'm working on my first post now. It took so long because I had to attend to a pretty winded event at college during these last days.

Looking forward to it. I get to start taking pressure off of the insula, unknowingly. Lame karkarth making friends fast

Hey sorry I have been away for so long, busy with school and what not.

I hope the Dragonkin have not been removed from the map. If they have been, can they be reinstated?

Alrighty then. Take it easy, read a good book if you can and I hope things get better for you soon.

I just realised a major issue. How the hay is anyone meant to contact you? Mo-one is really going to trek all the way to the South Pole, are they? You'll have to break the isolationism and come visit us. Especially Torin. It's not just about the money, I swear.

Yeesh. It's that time of the year again, where everyone is pinned down by things they need to do. I predict a great slowing of posts in the days ahead.

Push comes to shove: they can always end up as White Walkers. Though, big ancient dragonpeople I feel are considerably less scary than menacing mysterious wraiths...

... But that could be attributed to everyone sort of does dragon things it feels like so outside of bestial hunger and rage is about as terrifying as werewolves these days. But this can all boil down to exactly how well they're written.

Fine by me, I need to get down to my project for finals, and I need to catch up on my crown jewel. It's been picking up in pace recently and we've gotten both old-fags back and a new one who's actually being a promising an active poster. So I need to get back to scratch on that.

Get a bottle of cider and do that before I work on a post for my other one.

Sigs

Meant to say this earlier - every so often, your sig appears as what looks like some kind of Tumblr or webcomic where the characters look like mlp ponies, but lack manes and have triangles dotted about their skin. What is that?

I'm curious about this too; if I recall correctly they look kinda like ponified jets or something.

I have over 82 items on my rotator. I used to make my own signatures but I decided I'd just rip things I think are amusing.

One of the things I put into my rotator lately are the phenomenon known as "Plane Ponies". It's an /mlp/ thing, general premise is you take an airplane and turn it into a cartoon horse and it does pone things. More often than not their fighter jets, and more often it's the write and drawfags that present them with some very fun personality.

Then there's also the Predator Drone pone.

And then you got a lot of praise for best troll from the staff: MA Larson and satyr.

Alright, first post is up. Feedback is appreciated as I'm not really used to this kind of Nation RPs. The ones that I played usually consisted more of posts about the general state of the nation during a set period of time (Culture, economy, military and etc. from 1200 to 1210)

It's a fine start. Though a broad concern would be the lack of narrative to establish the setting. Descriptions of the gardens, the buildings, weather, and sounds of the party. As the post stands it is kind of bland. The only real description I can call up is that of clothing. But we had no real physical descriptions. Though that itself can be difficult to do without rattling off every single physical point in one long list, and apart from broader features you'll have to pay attention to details as they go along; like how so-and-so's nose flairs when they're upset or if it's long how it might be dotted with wine if he too excitedly drinks from his goblet, among other things. Or leave that behind in a sort of in-perspective monologue about someone's appearance or a character's thoughts on his own outward appearance if he goes to look in a mirror as an example.

Minor things I might point out would be that you probably couldn't have noted the gender of the priestess, even with the foreign title. It could have been done organically if a phrase like, "she added" was tossed in at the end of her dialog and we can piece it together there. And if you're going to begin a paragraph with "half hour later" then a bolded "thirty minutes later" subtitle is pretty necessary.

Otherwise, you seem to be on the right track. As I like to approach any NRP I get into and if possible I tackle it as I would a standard RP. Just with more available characters under more strict personal control than any other NPC. And you seem to have shown you're aware that often characters - even in the same nation - have agendas of their own and will openly play that out.

Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it

I'm back to normal. Thank the God of Chess for whatever he did made me into a normal person, again.

Also; No magic, right?
However, considering there's drakeborn, are there also supernatural entities?

Nevermind the dragon people. They're not the only crazy-ass hybrid or creature going on here.

Exactly.

Thank the gods. Good to see you again.

How supernatural are we talking?

Well that's weird. Even for the brony crowd. But also, strangely charming.
