[Archon]

hiatus

....ohmygod! i'm gone for a weekend and you guys go crazy. well, i'm back from the field. i've got a couple funny stories and i've read the posts...mostly.
what it boils down to for me is,
awesome. we're starting to work together now, we have some time to plan and i like what we could possibly accomplish. i want to thank everyone for keeping the story going even though we haven\t gamed in....wel it's been awhile.
Archon wants to not dress up what we're doing. we are rebels. lets rebel. once we show everyone we have the "raz-matazz" to say "eat my shorts!" to the king, people will show up for the right reasons. to take down the evil king and to save the world from "the Shadow."
we rock n' roll.
lets rock n' roll.
mik aka "simply built."

I agree, Mik!

It's important to let that be known.

Liz and I didn't get much work done on the timeline, last night. Using Kat's baseline, feel free to post a version with all the stuff you know happened filled in. Does that make sense?

I sent out the weekly game e-mail, which is dire, to say the least. It looks unlikely that we'll get anything done this weekend...maybe next week during the week we can get some of the side stuff started and finished?

Keep me updated.

So-- we need money...

Where can we get that money, you ask?

Well-- we can send raiding parties into Oceanus and jack some money from then...

AND/OR!

We can send a letter to our friends the Rhynns and ask them for money... they're a trade heavy noble family and they seem to have quite a bit of money...
We can ask them to come chill with us in Hyrwl or, just to find a way to send us the money.

This applies to any other noble family that we have some connection to, as well...

More to come later... back to work on my paper.

Even the Rhynns may not just send you some money, as that is VERY risky. A loan would be far more likely... Just think--your rebellion could end with the creation of modern banking on Aeres! Exciting! *shifty eye*

Indeed, if there is going to be a solid, detailed timeline made; y'all need to send out the times when you are doing things.

You can post them or email them to me-- either way works.

Thanks!

I didn't figure they would just ship it off to us...

It is risky... but, what have we done that isn't really??

I think it's a risk worth taking... we can offer them interest... or they can simply bank on the fact that, if we win--using their money-- they will be the royal family...

They will be distant cousins of the royals, with the same last name...really, they are as close to the throne with Tain sitting on it as they would be with Jaine. They have only risen to prominence within the house of Rhynn because Tain had the patriarch killed, and drove Jaine into hiding.

Nonetheless, they seem committed to the Nobles' Council, or at least they did the last time you saw them.

What was going on when we saw some of the Rhynns rallying in the streets at the beginning of the game?

Would these people be contactable? Or would can I assume they've been executed by now for treason?

Heh. The Rhynns were trying to rally popular sentiment against the King, because he had consistently tried to take power from the Nobles' Council. In fact, he had threatened to disband the council after they attempted to reduce the size of the standing army in the Kingdom.

Lord Rhynn the younger was the agitator. His brother helped break up the riot...and the Lieutenant Rhynn is now with Jaine.

WHOA! Finally training over for today!!! So now I can bother you guys.
For the above: We can always try to send them something, as one even tripped a guard chasing me after the execution fun. So there are some that may help, but not many that will stand up and say 'I am a traitor to Tain' So we could even try to tailor the letter to that... they could help annonymously or something...
