[OOC] Masters of the Hidden Valley

[Shorticus]

Not yet. The last person has 6 more hours or so to finish voting. That's when I'll start writing the next part.

This voting phase lasted 3 days to give folks time, just in case. Future voting phases will last 2 days.

[Lexicon]

So, after going through the character sheets listed under the 'Characters' tab, I can only find two major events we'll need to pinpoint once our clan history is settled. And when I say major I mean events that affect more than one character. The first one is the banishment, obviously. The only other one is the Rain Seasom bandit raid since this battle ended with Maire losing her mother, Serheim losing his sight, and Ardghal joining the Council. Once the voting is over, I think it would be a good idea to develop a rough timeline that establishes when these events occurred. It might cause a few folks to alter their 'History' sections, but Shorticus told us to be flexible. Excited to get this off the ground :)

[Shorticus]

Sorry about this. I'm sick. I vomited a few times this morning and dunno when I'll be back from the doctor's. See you folks in a day or two.

[Lexicon]

Feel better, Shorticus. Taking care of yourself comes first.

[Tracyarmav]

@Shorticus

First, I hope you're felling better soon!

Second, voted, hopefully in time for it to matter.

Third, moving the character sheet now.

[Shorticus]

Good news everyone!

It's probably just a stomach virus. It's keeping me from sleeping, but I got a pill to help keep my bowel's contents down. With luck, I should be more chipper by tomorrow. If not, hopefully by Wednesday.

Because the doctors don't actually KNOW what it is, they informed me it IS possible I could go to the emergency room. All they know is it's not the flu.

[Lauder]

@Shorticus

Well that's great! I still want you to get better!

[Mardox]

@Shorticus
Get well soon!

[Tracyarmav]

@Shorticus

Well that's great! I still want you to get better!

@Lauder

I'll second that.

@Shorticus
Get well soon!

@Mardox

and that. I hope you're better than ever before by next sunrise!

[Shorticus]

I'm too out of energy to write up the next two sections right now, but I went ahead and tallied up the votes. You can see the results in the IC section.

EDIT: This means that Aire is your clan's patron deity, by the way.

[Tracyarmav]

I hope this isn't a trend in the voting, we'll tie every three rounds... what would a tie mean or the clan?

[Lauder]

@Tracyarmav
He would break the tie himself

[Shorticus]

@Tracyarmav
He would break the tie himself

@Lauder

Precisely. If there's a tie, I break it. It's not the most elegant of solutions, but it works.

I suppose it is noteworthy that the next nearest choice in both questions only had 1 vote less. Camvor could have become your patron deity instead, for instance, if there was a single vote's difference. I kind of like how this turned out, however.

Expect the next series of questions tomorrow. The next series will last 2 days.

[Shorticus]

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

The next series of questions is up. I will start posting the votes after 2 p.m. Central Time on 3/16.

[Shorticus]

Officially feeling WAY better. Now I'm just behind on schoolwork, but who cares about that?

Anyway, 3 votes have come in, and I'm in a good mood. I'll be online most of today. Feel free to PM me.

[Shorticus]

I made a big whoops.

3 votes were for fighting AGAINST the Tuad Rithe, not alongside. I, uh, accidentally put your names beside the wrong one.

So, the ACTUAL RESULT is:

We fought against the Tuad Rithe, but for our bravery we were given a second chance.

What's silly is I KNEW that was the answer and was moving forward as if that was, but made the mistake of putting your names beside the wrong answer. Let's just say that getting sick threw me off my ball game and leave it at that.

[Wernher]

Then again it's too bad. I would have liked my vote to count twice for this one. AHOY MOON TRIBE!

[Tracyarmav]

Meh, more of a Sidhe fan myself, though Moon tribe was close second.

[Shorticus]

Votes tallied. The Moon Tribe is our ancient enemy and Alchemy is our great craft.

This means that our clan is more likely to encounter the Moon Tribe, better able to adventure and raid in the Moon season, and is our alchemists have a higher chance of success during events and adventures that require alchemy skill.

A lore tidbit: the Moon Season is a season of perpetual night. During Moon Season, there is no daylight whatsoever.

EDIT: Here's a question for you folks... Do you want me to progress the voting process as quickly as you guys make your votes, or do you want me to stick with the "two days = a series of votes" idea?

[Wernher]

FASTER!
