[OOC] A Crown of Bones

[Saltwater Thief]

That's about what I figured. Given that Alaric is a graduate for lack of a better term, I think my idea could work as long as I don't go crazy with it. 3 or 4 ought to be plenty, and I'll just have to gauge how nicely I played on whether or not I get yelled at xD

[Free Faller]

I'll wait for you to do your thing, Saltwater Thief, and then start up on my post. Since I don't know you and Feisty Pants's super secret bird whistle language, it makes the most sense. So I'll just be sitting here in the corner getting ready to punch stuff. :P

[Feisty-Pants]

Indeed.

Being old friends has its advantage.

I believe you left a small detail out Brand, but not that big of a deal.Is Nitia still with Sir Elric and Nyirr? Just wondering :P

Originally I didn't want people to control any more characters then the people who've they've created CSs' for, but seeing a few people have been controlling NPCs here or there, you can take control of Nitia if you'd like. I'll edit the post to include her, she's there I just forgot her, haha. If you'd like her to be a GM NPC I can still do her dialogue. Seeing as how you were alone with Elric Grey before Raven and Genshal joined you, I could possibly send you some PMs and do another mini collab with the characters.

I'm going to look through the OOC and give GM comments on things, I know there is a CS I need to look at as well as a few questions, which I believe headphones has answered but I'm going to review them anyway.

Headphones, as to the PMs, i'm seeing them but I've been too busy. I have school on the weekdays and I had drill this past weekend, so I couldn't find the time to write a reply.

Also, Reaper be mindful of your character. In the post I wrote that Genshal was the only one who had noticed the man by the creek bed, when I write things like that it needs to be taken to heart. It was really up to Genshal to choose if he wanted to investigate the creek bed, and It was up to his character to choose if he wanted to tell the others and see what he could find.

@ Raven, again.

You gonna work out that code you found? Haha. All you need to crack the code is the number two and the names provided (in the exact same order, hint hint).

Breaking it may save some lives...

If the second part of my post is influencing the scene/effects of my actions too much, let me know. I can always trim it down if needed. I’ve only been in a handful of other advanced sandbox games and they previously left a lot of cause and effect (as well as NPC interactions) in the hands of the player. If I’ve stepped out of line let me know and I’ll make edits accordingly.

Headphone's answer was sufficient.

[Rayn Night]

Well originally made it so my NPCs are GM NPCs, so we can continue that way :P A mini collab of Nitia and Nyirr should be good.

[Brand]

Will do :)

[TaliPaendrag]

I will hopefully be able to finish my post with Rali tomorrow or Friday at the latest. I have most of it done, but schoolwork has prevented me from completely finishing it. :3

I really dislike things where my character's ability to influence the roleplay is based on my meta-ability to crack some code. Just saying. Unless I'm overthinking this. Come up with easier to understand names, dammit. I can't tell if they're actual names or anagrams or some weird other word or what

EDIT: I've made changes to my post. Also, I give up on breaking the code. Those idiots can die for all I care. I have exams coming up I don't need to deal with this.

I thought since you wanted to play a spy type character, having spy type chances to influence the story beyond "I found X information" would have been fun. Now that I know you feel otherwise I will avoid repeating so in the future. Honestly if you would of just PMd me saying you didn't know what to do with it I would've just showed you. You could have even asked in OOC if anyone knew what to do with it.

That being said If any of them were an anagram I would of told you. All you need is the number two and the names. You were just supposed to record every even Letter of the names which would have given you:

VALEANFLEETSAILINGONVESPARSIXKTRAPHIMIN

Valean fleet sailing on Vespar. Six K. Trap him in.

What exactly that means in the IC will be shown as it unfolds now.

[Brand]

Woops letter, I meant record every even letter of each name.

EDIT: If you still want your character to crack it she can. I should have told you to PM me if you needed help or more clues.

................................................

I was fixated on Ingfal Remest because of your clue dammit. I tried all the usual ciphers and could not figured out a pattern because that was my starting point. @.@ I've been going at it for half a day >.>

Also, I wasn't mad! Sorry if I gave that impression, reading my reply now it was very apparent how easy it was to misunderstand that I was pissed. No, it's just my really stubborn phase where I'm trying really hard to figure out the answer and I know it's staring me in the face but I just don't get it. To be frank, I probably should have figured the order of the names and the number two were not a single clue but two separate ones to cracking the code. >.>

(FYI, I do enjoy the whole code breaking stuff, it's just when you hinted the way you did it made me even more frustrated trying to figure out how the second name could be the key to the code.)

I'll edit my post again.

[vietmyke]

These are really good posts, I've discussed some details with Gowi, and once I finish my exam tomorrow, all my efforts will be turned towards writing a post

[Nib]

I will start my post either tomorrow or this weekend.

[TaliPaendrag]

I got my post for Rali up. :D Hopefully, it's acceptable; it was a little difficult getting her started, but I'm happy with it, though I can, of course, make changes if need be. :3

[TaliPaendrag]

EDIT: Sorry for the accidental double post.

[Nib]

I should have a post up either tomorrow or the day after that. Trying to figure out how to go about the attack.
