Oh. I had been assuming we could see the volcano (or at least its smoke plume) from the monastery. Oops.

Mort even has a King Lucien...play on words.

 Also would 5 minutes straight up give me a line of sight on the mountain

Re: 7: Hole In the Wall Pub (OOCs)

You can see the smoke plume, which will give you a direction, but doesn't tell you how far away it is.

Since you are on the southern side of the mountain range and the volcano is somewhere to the north, five minutes straight up will let Lucien actually see the volcano. From there, he can estimate that it's about 60 miles away as the crow flies, which would be straight over the mountains.

Re: 7: Hole In the Wall Pub (OOCs)

Can we slow a tad on the posting?  I like the enthusiasm but when someone posts multiple times before someone else can respond to what is going on it gets a little upsetting.

I am also feeling a bit overwhelmed by the sheer number of posts. I think it is probably because there are so many people, and hope it will get better as we split up.

GM, will there be three groups, or only two?

Re: 7: Hole In the Wall Pub (OOCs)

I think  we may need to split the groups by intent as much as when they leave.

Right now a bunch of people are going to the Volcano, Kurat, Tyrol and Hsang are examining the gathering hall pictures for clues and Chess and Vogh are talking to the current Oracle.

So we have three groups by intent there.

I'd split us into those three groups for right now.

Re: 7: Hole In the Wall Pub (OOCs)

Already discussed the posting 'problem' with a player.

The number of people is most of the cause for the rapid posting, but I'm also trying to get the game underway and not drive players away with a SLOW posting rate.

We seem to be underway, and as Ozrus posted, in three groups. So, that should slow things down a bit.

They're not bad groups.  I think they cover all the core roles apart from trapmonkey for all groups.

Re: 7: Hole In the Wall Pub (OOCs)

I do want to examine the wall more with Tyrol. I think it might give us more clues and help. I think it's important to at least try and decipher as much from them before we do anything else as possible.

Oh and the extreme posting is why so long between my first IC post and my next when I wanted to examine the wall more and in truth I had not read all of the posts between the two it was just to much (this has to do with some diminished mental ability, I have a much harder time processing information than previously since my near death last year).

Re: 7: Hole In the Wall Pub (OOCs)

In reply to Hsang Li Tsung (msg # 104):

They definitely aren't the most optimized groups. Ki'nae has absolutely no skills that could help with either examination or reading. But it's definitelt more of an incharacter decision.

Also, there's no way I'm going to be able to post several times a day. I actually like to invest in a certain level of development per post. If this is going to stay at a multiple post per day rate in order to stay caught up, I may have to bow out. Even broken down into smaller groups, ive got things to do in RL that doesn't afford me a multiple time of day check in just to stay abreast.

Re: 7: Hole In the Wall Pub (OOCs)

Wow. That's rough, Kurat. Glad you getting better. Some of us keep getting worse. I mean, older!

Nice to know, Ki'nae and Kurat, about your posting. I'll try to tame it down a bit. You two are both too good players to lose for a silly little thing like posting.

The normal complaint, to the point where some GMs put a warning in their game rules, is about one-line posts, like "Biff follows the others." And that's it. That barely qualifies as a post! Sometimes, of course, that's all you can manage.

Ki'nae, your posts border on the novella! Not trying to discourage you, and I realize you are trying to catch up a lot, so I'll try to keep postings down to a more manageable level.

I also find it a bit odd because I've never been in a game where posting was this fast and furious, not even when there was one with a lot of characters. It would seem that this game attracted the creme de la creme of RPoL! So I hope you all stick around.

That being said, I know that RL can intrude on everyone's posting, often when you least expect it (GM raises hand), so don't feel bad if you have to miss a day or two... or three or four.

In reply to GM StarMaster (msg # 107):

No discouragement taken; I write em like I like to read em. But for the sake of my own ego and the well-being of all involved, I'll tone it down for now.

And Lucien that is true. As is the way with games here.

GM thanks for the understanding. I'm not special, and if that's the pace that it's running at then no sweat off my crack. The upside is it's great to see so many involved.

Re: 7: Hole In the Wall Pub (OOCs)

In the spirit of respecting these requests to slow down posting -- Can David and Mort confirm whether or not they'd like to join us in the volcano investigation? When possible, RL comes first, of course.

I see them both undecided, and I'm happy to wait for those who aren't as available to write as I am. I don't want to wait if nobody plans on joining us though, you know?

Re: 7: Hole In the Wall Pub (OOCs)

Hey for my own wondering is the Wonders Investigation Picture that Ki'nae looking at different than the ones Hsang Tyrol and Co. are investigating? I originally thought it was the sma epicture/painting, hence the horrible liguistica check.

I imagine Ki'nae would try to find what she could before moving on to help Vogh n Chess.

I believe you mentioned Tyrol in your post, so that's the picture I thought you looking at.

Re: 7: Hole In the Wall Pub (OOCs)

Bash is in 1: Catastrophe Strikes! when Trickster arrives. Technically, she's still there, but made a post as well in the Wonders Investigation.

There are now three groups:

Group 1 has gone to the volcano (Mt. Doom Reconnaissance).

Group 2 is trying to find out about the Wonders (Wonders Investigation).

Group 3 has gone to read/study Esmeralda's journals in the west tower library (1: Catastrophe Strikes!)
