[OOC] Waeldeshore 1.0 [CONCLUDED]

I certainly know the whole allergy deal. I'm dealing with it currently

I've been busy these past couple of weeks. Last week I was in allergy sickness mode. Been lurking at most.

@Dragoknighte

It's going into autumn here (though it feels like winter), so no hay-fever for me! I don't really have any other allergies, so lucky me.

Still, sympathy points

Dude. A wakizashi is 1.5-2 feet long. A katana doesn't even reach 2.5 feet at its longest. A tanto is like 25 cm long.

@Dragoknighte

Tantos are kind of like daggers, yes. I could swear a wakizashi is like a shortsword, while a katana is like a 2 handed arming sword. You have to bear in mind people from history are far shorter than us, especially Asian peoples from that time, so measurements for weapons are far shorter than their European counter-parts, but if they were used by Europeans they would be scaled up

Let's keep arguing semantics, instead of having fun

@The Fated Fallen

I thought arguing semantics was what we did for fun. The wakizashi is basically a shortsword in how it was used.

Got a political world map drafted (the one where waeldeshore is a little blip on it), I'll try to get it up sometime soon for having a look :)

@ArenaSnow

Cool; can Giray be included on that map?

@Dragoknighte

I'm glad we are in agreement

@Letter Bee

Found a nice spot for it :)

@ArenaSnow

Squee!

Can there also be a 'Kingdom of Hellas' next to Giray?

@IcePezz

[boomlover]

Wait where is the map?

[Dragoknighte]

Hopefully I can have a post up by the end of the night.

@Dragoknighte

Squee!

Anyway, want to remark on the similarities and differences between Durin and Ioannes' backstories?

[The Fated Fallen]

Is Squee a reference?

[Letter Bee]

Is Squee a reference?

@The Fated Fallen

No, it's an expression of joy.

@Letter Bee

Good to know. It's also the sound piglets make, which are adorable

What do people think of piglets?

@The Fated Fallen

Cute, I guess.

[IcePezz]

Okies, I'm in my starbucks, got my pumpkin spice, my creative groove and I'm ready to go. Writing something up :)

[IcePezz]

Alright, at the end of this will be a brief interaction with Isabeau and the other party members that came up to her.

I'm still looking to hear from @Dragoknighte and @KazeXDZ, and then @boomlover can post.

Ultimately the group will split up somehow, and we'll need to figure out who goes where and when they will split. This was a request by a couple of people and one that I can completely understand. We have quite a few party members now, and usually, the bigger that number is, the more hectic the battle becomes. Not to mention, in all the hecticness, more often than not, a player might get ignored. It's nothing intentional, but it does/has happened.

This will be no easy task for our team. No rushing in and thinking one swipe is going to take care of things. No reckless heroics and arogant leeroy jenkins ... this is going to be a good, harty battle, no matter how good you think your characters are.

[Letter Bee]

@IcePezz, The Plot Thickens...

[IcePezz]

@Letter Bee what exactly does your character look like? I know you posted a picture, but the picture wasn't very distinguishable. Is he tall? Handsome? Is that black hair? Muscular? Thin? Any distinguishable features? Birthmarks?

@IcePezz

Ah, well, basically, Ioannes is tall, handsome, with black hair and eyes, athletic, lean and mean (so yeah, muscular, but not in a pronounced way as well as thin), and, well, his skin is white, but tanned.

No birthmarks.
