[OOC] Masters of the Hidden Valley

[Lexicon]

Would everyone else be down with a month?

[Eklispe]

Yeah sure i'm cool w/w.e fam.

[Shorticus]

Now we just need to figure out how long we've been exiled. A month? A year?

@Lexicon

Okay, so this is a spot where I feel I ought to weigh in.

I'm going to say you guys have been exiled four seasons. This gives you time to have found the Hidden Valley, dealt with the harsh winter seasons, and have gotten a little building done so most folks actually have houses. However, this coming planting season is your first one in the Valley. This is also your first Sacred Time since being exiled.

[Lexicon]

Four seasons. Okay. I was looking over my sheet and it doesn't change much. I also aged Maire a few years. She's been on the Council since her early twenties so a little less than ten years. I think that works...maybe lol.

[Shorticus]

A heads up to everyone: I will be largely unavailable until Thursday of this week. That means the final question series will go up this Thursday. I'll try and make it a three question one to make up for the lost time.

[Lexicon]

UNACCEPTABLE! =P

[Mardox]

In my character sheet, the banishment took place when Ardghal was a lad. I suppose I could do some serious editing about the timeline...

[Lexicon]

Especially if the clan has only been in the valley for four seasons. Must be one hell of a valley, turning boys into men in that short period of time.

[Lauder]

Welp, we have like a nine year old on the council everybody!

[Wernher]

Can we say we migrated during the winter and arrived at spring? I'm thinking Eliz gaining her council spot by being able to forage and raid as the tribe went enough that people didn't starve.

[Lexicon]

I'm down with that. While I'm sure other clan members also contributed, I don't think there's anything wrong with Eliz gaining her spot by being exceptionally good at providing for others. I vote yay.

[Eklispe]

Sounds reasonable, long as Shorti is cool with it.

[Tracyarmav]

I have no issue with it, it is sound logic.

[Mardox]

@Lauder

More like 14 or 15. Still not enough time for all the back story to happen.

[Lexicon]

Made a slight adjustment to Maire's traits. I was thinking...why would someone who is greedy and worships the merchant goddess be known as untrustworthy? Being self-serving isn't the same as being untrustworthy. I've added the 'Slow', because she's a heavier gal, and 'Loud' traits instead. And now off to work.

This is fine. Proceed.

Your exile began in the Ash season. Your journey itself took two seasons, and so continued on through the Harvest season. It was during the Harvest season that you discovered the Hidden Valley.

You've spent the winter months in the Hidden Valley. In this time, Eliz has been very useful in foraging for food, and she also raided during the clan's journey in the Ash and Harvest season. For these reasons, she's been made a part of the Council. Perhaps she's the most recent addition and has to prove herself in the eyes of some of the Council?

EDIT: For reference, remember that 1 season = 60 days split into two half-seasons. So, your clan's trek to find the Hidden Valley took 120 days.

Also remember that the word "month" probably isn't in the Urlandi vocabulary. Don't worry if you accidentally say it in the RP; but try to refer to things by seasons and half-seasons. Also feel free to refer to the seasons by their names. "Rising Ash" and "Waning Moon," for instance.

[Shorticus]

Done with class for the week. Turned in two papers. Had my Thursday game night. All is well in the world.

I'll get the final voting phase up today.

[Lauder]

Huzzah!

[Lexicon]

ENTHUSIASM: THE REVENGEANCE!

[Shorticus]

@Mardox @Eklispe @Lauder @Lexicon @Wernher @Tracyarmav

Last voting round is NOW!

I decided to let you guys vote for your Chief. So, there ya go. Wernher and Lexicon have double voting power thanks to not getting any picks chosen in the previous round, etc.

A note on the symbol and color part: I'll be using the color for the map when I whip it up. I'm using a program that lets me add layers upon which your clan's color can be used to show what territory you hold in the Hidden Valley. That's what the color is for. The symbol is just fluff and I'm too lazy to draw that, probably. (Probably.)

The roleplay itself should begin a week from now (4/1/20016).

EDIT: Forgot that Lexicon ALSO has a double vote. Edits have been made to reflect this.
