[OOC] The Imperial Dragoons — A Flintlock Fantasy RP [Open]

[DELETED32084]

@FoxThanks very much! I write from personal experience which helps. Granted I never served as an 18th Century Cavalryman, but you get the idea.

I have been enjoying your chaps slow growth as a leader, it is well done.

And, lordy lordy, an ambush!!

Hey, just thought I'd let everyone know I'm alive. I'm busy with make-up work after being gone, so I'll probably only going to be able to get caught up reading the IC and OOC for the next couple days. I can get a post out before the week is done, though.

[boomlover]

Holy shit this actually looks kinda cool. Imma join in on this.

Hey guys,
Life... well Life happened and I may have to duck out of this one... I'll update you later today.

[Briza]

@Sirkaithethird, rip.

@Sirkaithethird

Unfortunate, wish you the best. Let me know what you decide on!

@Sirkaithethird

Well if you are to be killed off it's at least to be in a badass way

@VoiDWhat colour are our uniforms? I did quick Google search for Byzantine colours and got mostly red or purple. I put grey for now since purple tunics is silly and red would make us British.

Let me know and I'll amend my post.

[VoiD]

@The Wyrm Blue (turquoise) & Gold, mentioned it briefly in the opening IC post.

EDIT: For future reference, byzantine colors are very bright. You'll see a lot of reds, oranges, whites, blues, purples, yellows, etc. Historically this was a sign of wealth/strength for the Empire, as bright colors weren't easy to manufacture in high quantities and the dyes used were prized by the wealthy elite, so to have an entire army displaying these rich colors was quite impressive.

Has @Brocktree dropped out?

[VoiD]

Has @Brocktree dropped out?

@Not Fishing

I PMed him and he hasn't responded, so I'm assuming he's MIA. Since it's been 10 days since he last posted anything, I'll just be taking over his character -- after this little arc we'll go over the groups and maybe reorganize them to compensate with the dropped and incoming players.

It's alright, I expected some people to drop out. That's the nature of online forum RP. But I am extremely happy that the majority of you have been so active, its a ton of fun for me to read all the new IC posts that you all come up with :)

EDIT: Speaking of which, I added some RP rules to the main OOC. Probably should have had them from the beginning, but whatever.

@The Wyrm

Thanks, it's been a delicate balance trying to find ways to make his character engaging and relatable. His story arc is a classic, but I want to be sure to tell it well.

Great post again. Definitely looking forward to more from Francisco.

[VoiD]

I'll do the next round of response posts after @Briza and @Fox finish their next posts. This will of course include your character @Andreyich, and @Sirkaithethird if he's available.

As I understand if you don't want to wait for a single line post answering your question @Not Fishing, the enemy is estimated to be between 30-50 men. Feel free to edit your post or start on your next assuming your question will be answered, or just wait for the next batch of response posts from me.

[Kalmar]

Alright, edited my post.

[Briza]

This is a post about a post that should be posted sometime today; just to keep yah posted on my postin'.

[VoiD]

I'll be posting the responses tomorrow, busy today!

[DELETED32084]

@VoiDWe still doing this?

[Fox]

Eh, looks like @VoiD hasn't been on at all today. Probably just busy still.
