Yeah, I hope we can move away from a post order eventually, as helpful as it is people move faster without it.

I know. :/ I was ready to go after Lionheart made his post, but I had to wait my turn. Now I have school and other RPs to post in...

I'll try to post something later... :/

Please try, I think it would be easier if we got rid of it, I'll bring it up to Mango and see if he would be okay with doing that, it might help keep us moving, just like a post alert sort of what your doing before we post and maybe just letting everyone else post before we move on? So we can all stay in the loop even when people can't post.

Or because we are broken up just letting posting occur between the groups to get us all together sooner and in to an army.

Posted something small, but it's there.

One way or the other Leo is getting involved in this scuffle with the bandits. Just need to figure out how...

Well he could see Jacob organizing the village to fight off the bandits and land and offer to help fight.

Looks like I'll be doing that in the next post.

I'm back!

From the looks of it, it sounds like you guys like a more free flowing post. I'm new so I'll concede and do it your way!

By the way Sho, I don't ever write with a direction in mind. I work with what I get and build it with the people I role play with. All I am thinking of is how will my character grow.

All I'm thinking of right now is "how will anything happen if there's no story involved".

Also let me correct you. "How will any character grow if there's no experience or challenge they must face?"

I left it general so there is a lot of room for players to build their own story. The realm is at peace, but the Einherjar have begun a silent invasion. (Which they themselves do not realize)

That in itself let's us direct our individual characters with a base to write with. Look how much diversity came with the DLC packs in the game.

As writers we have our characters grow through the situations we put them in. Take Appollo with their character Jacob. They put in a bandit attack and within the post we saw how Jacob was pushing himself to lead. Same with Lionhearted with Rachel, little things like admitting to hating horses but willing to try riding one. I see that as character growth.

Feel free to keep asking questions, as long as it helps stimulate you to write more about Sho. It's a shame you put time into a profile and you want me to give you a story to work with as well as the challenges for your character.

If a writer was given all their material before writing, itwouldn't be as enjoyable, in my opinion.

By the way, since the request to abolish Post Order has been put in, I will be the first to step out and celebrate our groups decision by posting.

And thank you to Apollo for stepping up with all of your suggestions! Let's make this happen!

Okay then no more post order, I shall celebrate by posting Jacob organizing the town soon... Tonight...Maybe.

I know with the holidays here in the states most people are busy. So I guess this is on a slight hiatus, still I hope to see this grow as it's getting rather interesting now, I may post a reply to Crimson but only to bump this some and keep the roleplay alive.

Hm, so out of idle curiosity how could Jacob possibly know who Rachel is? First of all she's wearing her hood so he can't see her face, secondly she's wearing no military outfit or emblem at all, and thirdly even if he received reports how could he possibly be able to recognize one short, black haired woman he's never seen before on sight? And that's assuming he even knows what she looks like and can see her face.

I mean, don't get me wrong notoriety is nice. But that just seems far to unlikely. The only thing I could possibly guess would be the fact that she's a tactician, but even then. Now, after she introduces herself you could provide the fountain of knowledge, that's fine, that's more realistic. A name would be far more unique and he'd have a better chance of knowing it from a report or something.

Right, sorry thought she would be wearing identifying coat of arms or something. I will fix the post.

Fixed it, though I used the tactician ability to size people to make him have a idea about you. It's sort of there skill to read and determine things about people.

Seems like 4 of us have gathered. And the plot thickens :)

Someone let me know when a major fight goes down. That will be his entrance.

I think this means it's my turn again. I'll post when I can.

We need to use the OOC more.

I'm heading off to meet Jacob, Rachel and Leo to form an attack plan, after that what do our two tacticians plan for our motley crew?

Well Jacobs Idea's was to have villager defending the town gate and walls while a group of volunteers goes outside to deal with bandits and try to protect the village from attacks period. If none of them get though then the village would be safe and the group outside could follow them back to there base.
