Ah yes, History GCSE, I remember those days. I did the same subjects - by the end of it I was thoroughly bored of modern history and went with Early Modern and Medieval at University (I'm in Wales for Uni atm).

I'm the opposite - I prefer social and economic histories to military :3

Finally, got a post out. xD.

Anyway, thanks for weighing in, Jinx! <3. Looks like we've got most of our sticking points smoothed out for now...
I'm sure it'll only be like two posts before we have even more questions. xD.

I've got to agree with Illuvatar. Military history is much more fun! :D.

I guess it's all a matter of opinion. I basically like drawing arrows on maps :D

In year 8, we were allowed to make our own plans to invade France - we were playing the part of Nazi Germany. I chose to invade Luxembourg so that the French would send more troops to the Maginot Line, and then I snuck round, marched through Belgium and took Paris :D

*everyone stares oddly*

*Notes*: I'm not sure if there's a posting order, but I'm trying to follow one. So would you please wait for the others to post before you do your next post, Illu? There will be more for you to respond to that way, and people will have a chance to respond to all of your last post.

Mmhh... I was in the middle of writing my post, in fact! I got SUPER distracted though, because I had to research islamic views on magic, possession, methods of exorcism.... what the hell a Jinn is, why the sunni sect doesn't have imams while shi'a does....
Well it was sort of a case of "one thing leads to another". Eventually I just closed out all fourteen thousand tabs and went back to posting, and lo', there's another post!

I would definitely agree that we need to be more careful about post order. It's one thing to skip a player who is taking far too long to respond, but by interjecting like that, it makes it hard for anybody else to respond to your previous actions - because they're no longer the most recent thing you did, and going back to retroactively respond to everything just creates a messy chain of things that nobody can react to because they're buried chronologically.

:P

*Nods* Indeed, though if someone is taking more than a day, I'd assume they may be having a hard time coming up with a post. You could ask OOC if that were the case, and if you don't recieve an OOC response within about six hours or so (assuming you're not asking in the middle of the night) I'd think that you can safely respond without confusing people.

I follow the rule of: two days with no posts and no responses or two-three posts in between. It's not a posting order per se but it does spread things out.

Okay, you guys have all posted now. Should I post?

And I'm assuming that the invasion will begin at any moment. How soon will it be?

The invasion isn't set to start until the night is over, but yes, we have all posted, so go ahead ^^

Given the reasons everyone is using to not be with their significant others, it may in fact be more prudent to begin the invasion tonight. Depends; what do you guys think?

They did attack fairly early on in the day so we could simply have the group having passed the time for longer than they thought?

I would be up for that if we're all ready for it to start, yes.

That could work just fine~ any preferences about how long you'd like to wait before the transition occurs? A couple rounds from now, or during my next post?

Hmm. It would be cool to suddenly have it sprung on us. It would be beneficial to some people to have time to prepare.

Perhaps after the next round of posts so that people have time to get characters ready for it? Not IC obviously, but in terms of how they'd like their characters positions and such.

I'd like Mordecai to be looking at Mount of Olives. I assume that's the direction the Crusaders are attacking from.

Other than that, I don't mind :D

I'm flexible either way - whichever everyone prefers!
