[OOC] The Band of Fools

THE REASON CEDRIC WEARS KNEEPADS ON HIS GREAVES IS BECAUSE ONE TIME HE TOOK AN ARROW TO THE KNEE

Sorry for the triple post, I'm just way too excited about the prospect of Skyrim references.

If we're doing this then I demand to be an Argonian.

[Mattchstick]

The real question is, can my character freeze time in the middle of combat to eat a cheese wheel?

@POOHEAD189

Ew, gross. Argonian scum.

So hey, page 5/6 of the survey shows the exact geographical location of everyone who voted. Eight locations for eight votes. So that's kind of unsettling nifty I suppose. According to the survey, the voters are from

USA: Massachusets
USA: New York
USA: New York
USA: Alabama
USA: California
UK: England, near Birmingham
UK: England, near London
Ireland

The survey says I'm in Ireland, which is very wrong, because I'm actually USA: Maryland. Where does the survey say you guys are from, and is it correct?

[Kassarock]

@Mattchstick It goes to Ireland first for me as well, so I think its like that for everyone?

I presume I'm the Birmingham UK one, although its actually about 80 miles off but whatevs

EDIT: Also the creepiness of this particular poll provider was not intended, will use a different one next time.

[Hero]

I'm very close to NY, so it's accurate for me lol

[Gunther]

I don't really care where that survey says I'm from. I know my current location and that's all that matters. If I did not, I'd be lost.

[Kassarock]

@Gunther For some reason reminded me of this:

Granny Weatherwax was not lost. She wasn't the kind of person who ever became lost. It was just that, at the moment, while she knew exactly where SHE was, she didn't know the position of anywhere else.

[Patryk]

I guess I'm Alabama? Which is pretty inaccurate, cause I'm in Texas.

[Gunther]

I'm in Massachusetts, if you must know.

[POOHEAD189]

@Patryk

Nope, I'm in Birmingham, Alabama.

[Patryk]

Then it's even more inaccurate!

AND THE RESULTS ARE IN:



Howard of Northall now has an unassailable lead over the other candidates, this will be our starting faction!

What does this mean for the Band?

Well our starting location will be the City of Tradeforth, the regional capital of the North of Westar and where Duke Howard is marshalling is forces for the coming war. It is already a few weeks after the death of Adalmar II and the realm is in a state of chaos. The Band, already being in the North when this happened, took the decision to sign contract with the Duke because of his military experience and the favourable rates he offered.

While the majority of Duke Howard's forces have arrived, he is still waiting on contingents from the Hook Peninsula to the West and a fresh levy raised from his own Duchy of Northall to the north. The Duke of Forlinger, though nominally part of the North, has not called his banners and the Skerrymen seem unconcerned with the war on the continent.

News has reached the city that Godfrey of Innsmouth, now calling himself King Godfrey I, is marching north through the Wolds and his host will soon be upon Tradeforth.

I'll get working on the first IC post tomorrow...

[Mattchstick]

@KassarockKing Godfrey I, PFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

Will the first IC explain out situation and circumstances? As in, are we just entering the city? Did we just wake up from sleeping in an inn? Are we supposed to be meeting up with the leader of the Band for orders, or are we free to explore?

[Kassarock]

Wait for the first post, I'll set the scene and give some you some stuff to react to

@Mattchstick

In an Inn!? ROFLMAO! I spent 21 years in the Infantry. I can imagine an army on campaign. Their soldiers do not sleep in Inns. Make the ground your home boy. Get comfy. I remember spending 12 days in Canada about 20 years ago. It rained nine of those twelve days. I slept in the rain, ate meals in the rain and patrolled in the rain. I got so accustomed to being wet, I never use an umbrella. An Inn. that's pretty funny.

@Kassarock

I think we should focus on the fact that someone voted for the Prince. We have a traitor among our ranks...
