Thanks so much :) Actually the 2nd ACT was totally my idea in every aspect, though there will be an ACT that is based on a book, but I will not say more of it.

Would it be possible to not use PL only posts? Lots of things happen somewhere else, and it is expected that the player lets his character be blissfully unaware of those things. If it is really secret then PMs are better.

I would like to stick to the PLs, but you're right. So EVERYONE please use some meaningful text in your messages other than PL! Like:
"Bob's laugh can be heard from the room"
or
"Bob whispers something into Karen's ear" or something.

I thought it would be time to give some comments. First, congrats 5000 posts is getting near. Secondly, I have to say that this game is great. There is enough action and every combat forces us to think about tactics. Definitely a good thing. Then there are the other parts that are perfect for more social RP.

Sometimes it is hard to keep up with the pace as some players post more than others. I don't think that is a flaw to those players, but it does sometimes make me think I don't participate enough. And I want to thank all the other, very talented players. It is a pure pleasure to read their clever decisions and RP. It makes me think myself as a total n00b sometimes though =D. It is good that my character can be considered socially handicapped, so that when I can't come up with a clever solution (or somebody does it before me) I can be the "me-no-understand" barbarian =D.

Just now it is hard to come up with things that should be improved... Oh and by the way, I loved the dreams! There is no reason to over do it, but this far it has been one of my favorites!

I've been thinking about how to play out these inter battle interludes. A lot of time is spent talking (and healing, good!) but for me it is sometimes unclear how much can be done/has been done by characters.

Could I ask for a kind of 10(?) minutes 'rounds' in these circumstances, were everybody tells what main things they are trying to achieve?

True, it is a bit mechanical, any other solution to this problem would be fine by me too.

I'm always summing things in posts, while I describes paralell, what happens, for example now outside...
... there will be more happening out there, I just stopped to let you all act.

I think Linolil's idea might be worth trying. You could say like "OOC: describe your character's actions for the next x minutes/hours/whathaveyou".... Just an idea...

"one more thing I'd like to see in this game: Fighting encounters that do not end with one side being totally dead." check

That I'm so glad of... I really am. In this fight I found for the first time the actual need for things like defensive stance. It is almost always a total waste of time if the objective is to kill all the enemies. Only other thing I have used it for was when being the tank of the group, but that is not so RPish.

Once more, thanks for making that true.

I'm looking forward to carry out the other wishes as well *evil grin, then the genie flies back to his lamp*

Again you did it! The dream section is truly awesome! Sorry that I might not be able to give anything as great back to those posts, but wanted to praise the thread and your work once again sir!

Thank you :) Really trying hard.

So... about my dream. What's next?

You can act in your dream as I wrote in OOC for you...

In reply to GM (msg #58):

And I responded... what next?

In reply to Cosmina Petrescu (msg #59):

Awww! So that was an in dream act :D Sorry I thought that you acted in the reality. Well... confusion of abstraction.

It's time for a short public opinion research.

Since everyone is playing in the game for a while now, I would like to hear, what do you like/hate and what do you wish to see/expect in the adventure!

Mostly I am happy about things. I think we're a bit lost for directions right now, but that could easily change.

There are so many players that the game progress is sometimes a bit slow, but I do not mind. It is easier to play when in hurry or motivation is low, if the pace is relaxed... I remember the times when a couple of hours absence meant I had to read multipel pages of stuff.

Game is good, hoping to evolve in relations with other characters. Especially ties to Manfred, Tyre and Wanda seem to be very light.

In reply to Thorolf Ragnarssen (msg #63):

Well maybe bit saddening news, I hoped himself would tell you guys, but it seems that Manfred will be out of the game :'(

But do not worry, do not mourn I already have a new character set up to introduce to you :)

That is sad news... especially the player was one of the senior members... Oh, what quality... anyway, I'll waiting eagerly to intimid.... I mean meet the new char =D

In reply to Thorolf Ragnarssen (msg #65):

Well intimacy would be in proper order I suppose. There is no problem with red haired, freckled girls ;) Even if they are VERY short... xD

Still waiting for the others' opininons.

Well, things have changed already :-/

Honestly I'd like to get out of sylvania and do more travel. See new, more exciting parts of the Old World and barely survive them. Maybe due some urban adventure in a large city.

And less unkillable bad guys with convenient magical character shields.
