[OOC] Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

[Klomster]

I'm just waiting for the court meeting.

Not much to do in a locked room :P

[MacabreFox]

@Klomster Still working on the collab with TDM, almost finished.

In the meantime, I updated our Recruiting Page, so feel free to take a look!

It's basically everything listed on the front page of the OOC. Pictures, and timelines now included.

@TheDuncanMorgan Would you care if I went ahead and made a reference page for this roleplay?

[TheDuncanMorgan]

@MacabreFox That would be fine. Thankyou for updating . We probably only need one or two more RPiers.

[MacabreFox]

Fantastic! I'll get on it. Yeah, I didn't think we would need more, but it never hurts to have more fresh meat (;

@MacabreFox That would be fine. Thankyou for updating . We probably only need one or two more RPiers.

Watchoo guys doing here?

The gritty fantasy power-politics of this appeals to me; the idea of a notorious sadist of a mercenary captain already springs to my mind. But I'm going to have to parse through all this before I make up my mind on joining or not.

[TheDuncanMorgan]

@Vahir That's fine.

[ArenaSnow]

As per suggestion in the interest check, I'm posting here to see if someone wants to do some sort of collab. Possibly an in-house civil war scenario or new rival.

Otherwise (or mixing both ideas?) I'm thinking of coming in with a mage on the darker side of the line.

[PhoenixWhite]

I'm always a fan of more drama and more people for something like Formaroth, where it's slow enough paced so I can actually think things through.

The more people (icly) the merrier/deadlier/inteigueier/warfarier/marry-er/awesomer things get.

[MacabreFox]

The collab is finished and posted!

[TheDuncanMorgan]

OK now that the second round of posts is finished we can focus on the next round of posts. This will be setting up your characters for the meeting and getting anything you want to get done before the civil war breaks out. Don't feel the need to have to wait for me to post first, considering that everything has already been set up for this next round. If you have any questions please let me know.

Also I have finished the soundtrack and will have it up tonight.

[ArenaSnow]

I'll get a CS up soon.

[MacabreFox]

@Klomster
Let's get that court collab started (;!

@TheDuncanMorgan If there is anything I need to know with this next round of posts, please let me know, if there should be something that happens, or should not. The outcome of the court results, what happens after, etc.

@ArenaSnow I'm very intrigued to see what you come up with! This would be a great opportunity to jump in, as things in the RP are beginning to pick up.

[TheDuncanMorgan]

@MacabreFox The court outcome is up to you; however in terms of story I think it would be best if Claus is found innocent and then is employed by the crown (after all it will be a bit unfair for Klomster if he is found guilty and has to spend the rest of the RP in jail :p ) . One thing that I can confirm will happen is that Andrew will arrive in Nyhem given I plan to do a collab with him in this round.

Edit: Just thought I'd give you a bit of background on the structure of the trial: Trials in Nyhem are carried out with either the king or a member of the High council as the judge. Some more important trials will also have a jury made up of nobles elected by whoever is presiding over the trial. However for a trial like this Aurelia will not need a jury. The trial itself will take place in small court room used for judging smaller crimes. Important trials would be carried out in the throne room and would have the king as judge.

[TheDuncanMorgan]

Right the Soundtrack is done. Everyone's themes have been added and I even added a few extra themes near the end ;) . The only downside is that during the upload the pictures quality has gone down a bit. There not unrecognisable or even bad, just not as good as they were originally. Not that it should be an issue. Given the soundtrack is over an Hour long I have added a track list to it. You can also find the track list and link to the soundtrack on the first post of the OOC.

[PhoenixWhite]

@TheDuncanMorgan

Honestly I'm just going to constantly listen to this while I'm writing up my posts in the future. I only just started it and it //is// over an hour long, but I do look forward to hearing the entirety.

@TheDuncanMorgan

This explains a lot, the latter part that is. Yes, I didn't think it would be fair either if Aurelia was to find Claus guilty, no matter how much it may bother her or weigh on her conscience. If anything, I think Aurelia would be more reluctant to rule in his favor, especially after consulting with Duncan.

Also, I will take a gander at the music most likely in the morning tomorrow (:

[PhoenixWhite]

Wow

Duncan ah.

That picture for the Blackwell family theme though

Wow that's an awesome picture xD

As a secondary note here, I really enjoy all the music so far [Am only up to 'The Lord' as of this post], and so far the pockets of slow-and-quiet offered by Aurelia and The Lord are actually rather interesting to see in the midst of all the other epic-hardcore-awesome-movie-soundtrack-sounding-things

That being said, if I horribly misremembered Aurelia's theme and it's actually some death metal song I mentally blocked then many apologies-

[Cold Hands]

Well I didn't know we were doing individual music for certain characters, I thought it was the man houses and characters. There a chance for me to get more in?

[TheDuncanMorgan]

@Cold Hands Sure. Given we have new characters joining I will likely make a second soundtrack at some point. You can add your individual themes in there.

[ArenaSnow]

It'll be a bit longer at the least, as I fear my initial enthusiasm has burned off. I fear I might have thrown my cards of interest in before I gave this a thorough look...
