Yeah I posted on Saturday so I hav'nt really been doing it on the best day, I'll post today and sometime during the week
I thought all posts were optional this week for people not involved with the scouting party, doesnt that include Charada? Genuine question you'll know better then me
He has been a bit absent recently as he's been havng one or two problems but I'm sure he'll post if he's able and knows he's over due

I've decided that only the scouts have to post this week. Any other posts are optional. This trend may continue onto next week as well depending on how we go but I stress that you must at least check up on the RP because your character may well be chosen to help out the scouts and in only a bit everyone's character will be needed to move out. There are some people who have not posted in a while which is worrying. If you are one of those people please make an effort to post at least something to keep the ball rolling. Thanks.

I check the thread regularly, but Shar hasn't really much to do atm so I'm staying silent for the time being

Well, no-one has responded to the Padawan's attack, so far, it's only readings on detectors so I can't continue the attack. You're also right about the optional-ness, but Lunar hasn't posted (and I'd like it if all the scouts did make a post). I gave warnings to Void Dallos and Charada because they haven't posted since the ship took off. I gave Argryyn a warning before so I'm giving him another (he hasn't shown up at the Path Place in a while actually which is a bit worrying).

I'm also confused .

Firstly, most of the scouting party have responded to your post. We just haven't gotten as far as you'd like in the encounter (ask Dubz about the frustrations involved in that! lol) - have you read how many months it took us to complete the encounter with the Krayt dragon in DAtD?

Secondly, just because we're not following your plans doesn't mean you can't post something. A 'meanwhile back at the shuttle...' might encourage those optional posts you mentioned earlier.

And finally, you're really giving out warnings for non-postage to people whose characters are back at the shuttle and you've told don't have to post for a while?

Posted!
Thought I'd prompt some possible story development Harl, we might be able to pick up some Republic transmissions now if you want I also need a nickname for Skursir, Jylan cant be calling him that all the time...... maybe leather hide

I think Hare might have posted before seeing your post Harl, but I agree with what your saying, like I said char has been away so its not any specifc disinterest in the RP you should be worried about, if your having a few concerns about lack of postings from Path members you might be best talking to the representative rather then themselves individually if you want to contact them imo.

Dont be too worried about some people not posting on here if theyre not specifically needed though, it'd be nice but they might not all be converstationalists, they are sith after all

I seriously thought that this would only take a week to complete. If people had posted enough within that week then the Padawan could be dead by now (or captured, whichever you prefer).

Well, Skursir is currently engaged in a conversation with Jylan so can't do much, but I like Priory's idea about a Republic transmission and I'll get to work on that.

The people who I've given warnings to haven't posted since the ship took off at best, this was when posting was compulsory for most people.

Yes, but like I said, as all the other roleplays have proven, you can estimate all you like but these encounters take their own time. I think it's a bit harsh to say we haven't 'posted enough' just because we're not adhering to your personal schedule for the RP.

I'm sorry, I didn't really mean it had to be based around Skursir - you have a whole universe of randomness to intrude upon events! lol I just meant you could come up with something (like PJK's excellent idea).

Fair enough, but issuing a final warning during the downtime you've given those players seemed really off. If it was for past failings (and you're just catching up on reprimands that should have been issued nearly a fortnight ago) you might want to make that clearer in future.

OK, posted.

Sorry for the delay! (been a bit busy)

Okay, I underestimated how long a battle would take (no worries LW). I just updated as well and I'll get on to continuing the battle right away. As for the warnings, I have been giving several warnings over at the PtS site (albeit none over the Christmas/New Year period which is probably were the line went slack).

As for a nickname for Skursir, anything that Jylan likes, 'Leatherhide' sounds good Skursir wouldn't be one to call Jylan a nickname unfortunately (Trandoshans don't do that as far as I know), but he'd recognise the name as a sign of friendship.

Now look what you did! I posted twice in one day!

Well actually I guess thats not true 'cos the first one was 16.1.10 and technically the 2nd one was 17.1.10.....

But you see my point!

Guess you could look at it like that Good to see some optional posting going on back at the ship actually - keep up the good work guys!

So who's gonna take this punk down?

You can if you want! He's exposed!

I'll do a short post to get Aleena out of the firing line, then its a race to see who can win the "Padawan Smackdown" competition!

Remember, alive for preference, but if he dies .....well he can be "one" with his precious Force, right?

Well i made my post with effort to strike at him already, so I'm awaiting if it succeeds in disabling his mucles or not

Eh? I thought you were aiming! Darnit! I'll make that the first thing that happens then...

man i really need to keep up with the discussion beacuse i read what you guys post and then think about what i write right after, and not reading this seeing where you guys are going with it, sorry if my post isnt like how i should do it or somthing lol im not used to structured RP iv always done like freestyle. If you would like me to fix my post i will gladly.

Ugh, too late in any case. Once you break the spine, the person dies - so unfortunately, Klahn is no more. You can keep the post though, it's really good, showing that in his rage, Darth'Ishad didn't know he was dead. I'll update later today with the result. You can choose to go back to the ship or keep going (but you need to report to Skursir and choose to go with what he says or not).

breaking of the spine dosnt kill someone though not in all cases most jus become perminently paralized lol

I've read about it before making a post and it can be fatal, but most of the time you end up in hospital, and if spinal cord gets damaged it can lead into other complications, including paralization as Darth'Ishad said. It's serious, but curable injury when one vertebra gets somehow disordered . Thumb pierced only on 1 precise point. It could went wrong of course, it's tottaly up to you mate Just telling it's not necessarily fatal

Really? I was under the impression that you can't breath without the spine? In that case, paralysis it is I just want to say that you can do anything in this Roleplay, you're not tied down by any structure apart from finding the transmission source (you can choose to go along with what Skursir says or not, it's up to you), the twists will appear when you come across a point. Also, for some of the more Sherlock-types, you can have a go at decyphering the static message.

Looks like Darth'Ishad has altered the post to the "I'm this close to wringing your scrawny neck..." stage rather than the "well he died easily!" stage anyway, so our little Twi'lek toy remains alive.....for now! lol

EDIT: H2 if I'm posting too often, please tell me to slow down.... I can get a little engrossed in RP sometimes

I did, but Shar didn't hear it

Nice details on the Twi'lek colonists and Fleshraiders, Harl.

...Or throw a bucket of rotten fish heads on him. He's at least have to take the time to shower.

Careful Hare, I might just link the "Roley-poley-fish-heads" song again...
