Well
lichtenheart was online yesterday, but his character is not yet posted.
corinthi hasn't posted here for quite some time ...
the central cast are David and Alyra and Mamba so far. Wandering soul has posted IC at least once, so I hope he will continue, too.
Sigh. I guess that's internet games for you.
I will wait until Monday the 4th before I must consider that probably my english was too bad for some ...
Then i must decide what to do about the consistent absence. Of course, it is within the rights of them to stay away, but it'd be fine to know if they still join or not. I've been stalling a bit in the hope of that gives lichtenhart and corinthi a bit more time. Next week I will inquire deeper, over email.

Actually, I was going to suggest that a "post at least every n days, unless absence notification has been given" clause be put in the play contract...

Sorry for my disappearance, it's no real excuse but a school project has absorbed me more than I thought it would, and I couldn't find time to work on my character. I'm posting the sheet shortly, and the background and first IC post tomorrow as I come back from school.

Hanging in there. Better than the alternative.
sophist, I'm trying to decide if Borderguard Power 2 is actually useful for anything that Realm 4 doesn't already give me. It's Borderguard is described as attacking hostile intruders as long as necessary, but it says that a Level 2 miracle will inform authorities of a threat. Is that just an example of a Level 2 miracle (ie it actually can attack things two with a sort of "Chancel Aspect" of 2), or is that all it can do (meaning Borderguard Power might not be useful until Power 3 or 4, which is a lot of CP)? The book seems vague, so I'm thinking that this is (among most things in the game, actually), is a HG call.
Lichtenhart - can't wait to see your character! The more we have, the better chance we have at survival (and I'm banking on that 1 Realm
)

Should I post the stories of my anchors now? Simon would celebrate the rite of servant on them only if they were willing. Is that supposed to happen in game or not?
Amy, updating the play contract is agood idea!
lichtenheart, your character looks fine, although I can have a real close look only later at home. You don't need to choose your anchors now. You can do that IC/OOC during/after your prelude, just as you wish. During the prelude, you do have all the perks of being a NOble, but the down sides are not yet in effect.
Jdvn1, borderguard says that they have realm miracles up to their level. I'd interpret this the following way: at level 2 they can confound invaders with ghost miracles. itr is probably diffucult to disbelive everything you see. while it is true that lesser divinations are for free for you, if the borderguard has them, they will report more accuratly and quickly since they see more (and potentially even physically hidden things) of their enemy and will know exactly where you are within the chancel so that they can reach you in almost no time. Plus, the higher the Borderguard level, the higher I will set their "aspect". Although even an Aspect 0 or 1 power will sooner or later get through a level 2 guard, I'd rule only a power with at least double the level in Aspect will get by the guard "just like that". The higher you go with the level, the more time will you have for your reaction. Someone with Aspect<=BG level would probably even need one or two miracles ...
in truth, when making up Derr'Degg I hoped the players would choose "Boderguard", but since I already put magic in, I didn't want to inflate the cost too much. that means taking BG will make the barbarians a whole less hostile to you.

Will update tomorrow - promised.

So, to clarify, while BG offers the divination miracles, it also helps as a sort of Aspect? Namely, it's not just miracles, but it'd also give some physical protection?
In the Sample of Play, the characters have an airforce that also comes a little out of their Chancel. Is that Borderguard or what? As a sort of leader here, I'm wondering what specific resources we have available to us, or what we could have availble to us based on our expenditure of Chancel Points.
I think I'm going to go with the Chancel stuff I proposed earlier.
