That was a ride. Seriously. I'm glad I could be a part of this.

Posted by: Arynel Oct 23 2004, 09:31 AM

Great fun all, thanks for lettin' me do my thing.

Posted by: Aki Oct 23 2004, 09:34 AM

Was fun.

Had to go all out on the last night...

Posted by: Allerleirauh Oct 23 2004, 09:34 AM

Once again, thanks everyone! It's a delight.

Arynel, Allie never manages to get your number.

ooc: Someone put up a body count! Great job! I guess it's no surprise that the TES forums have the best role-players, but it's still a pleasure. Thanks all who participated.

And Allie gets the Creativity Award among stiff competition for her Void Ranger turn into the broken staircase. Made me go, "Huh?" and then laugh out loud.

Posted by: Nelacar Oct 23 2004, 10:15 AM

This was great. You guys are awesome.

Posted by: Allerleirauh Oct 23 2004, 01:20 PM

For those of you younguns who don't remember the Void Rangering days of Daggerfall, I found a screenshot of Allie's house, as seen from the Void:

http://home.wnm.net/~bgriff/MW/dagvoid.JPG

You can buy this house, if you want. It's the most expensive house in the city of Daggerfall, one of the four big houses bordering the main square. One of the stairways has a terrible error which prevents you from getting up the stairs, but enables you to get into the Void.

Apparently, since the Warp in the West, the foundations of the Mundus have been much more stable.

Only real regret is that I had to leave after the first day or so, and never could find where the story was going so I just kinda watched...completely lost.

(besides, I gota bout 3-5 other lont-term RPs going on other sites and I couldnt keep up with this addition sadly)

Posted by: niceguy5 Oct 23 2004, 05:30 PM

that was fun, oh i wish i could've made monaa fight in the battle last night, oh well (stupid computer )

and let future RP's be just as good

Posted by: NordRogue Oct 23 2004, 06:15 PM

Cheers to all you creative people, awesome RP...movie/novel worthy even

Posted by: B Oct 23 2004, 07:04 PM

I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m not much of a group role-player. Sure, I can participate from afar, but my lifestyle doesn’t allow me to be around enough. Oh well. . .

Nice job, everyone! I cannot wait to read through all the posts.

Posted by: BbaxterD Oct 23 2004, 07:38 PM

D'oh, I missed all the action last night. Thanks for making another great RP Loranna. The daM doG gets a special trophy for participation thank you for posting so much . Thanks to all of the other characters that RP'd, there ain't no RP like a lore forums RP, deaths, Clannfears, and Guards. A special thanks to Harg, for a wild party involving a Cow. I do wonder what the next RP will be, anywho, thank you

Posted by: B Oct 25 2004, 01:47 AM

I finally read through all the posts. . . BRAVO!

Thanks B

... Does anyone else feel quite as wiped out as I do after this event? I still kinda feel like I'm reeling a bit from everything we did; thinking ahead to my next ideas is becoming as terrifying for me as it is exciting.

Incidentally ...

Part one was 275 posts
Part two was 621 posts
Part five was 234 posts
Part six was 264 posts
Part 7:) was 554 posts

Grand total: ... 1948 posts, made over a five day period.

...

............ You get the feeling we all collectively owe the moderators a really big group hug?

Oh, as for the body count for the final scene ... I'm guessing we all killed about fifty guards. At a guess. Cause, you know, double kills and syff; the original eighteen guards probably had a few suckers who drank some real strong healing potions before the fight so they jumped back up after getting killed the first time in oder to go for seconds and thirds. Plus there's also the One Guard, Two Impressive DeathBlows therorm, which states that if two PCs aim for the same mook, the guy can't fully die until he's been pounded on by everyone taking a shot at him

Now aren't those guards glad no one broke out the eighteen hit combos?

Hello to all you high-educated scholars, brave fighters, mysterious magicians, bards of great wit and everyone who was involved in this RP.

I just wanted to thank all of you for creating such a wonderful story with so many twists, unforeseen events and a lot of suspense! Unfortunately I had to drop out silently during the second night but my real life forced me to sleep when you started the big action, no offense, just an excuse
Loranna already told that she tried hard to overcome the issue with timezones but just lacked some experience points to influence time Nevertheless, you really did a great job!

Maybe I manage to turn my day-night-rhythm upside down around Christmas so I get the chance to "really" take part in a RP.

I'm looking forward to your next RP,
greetings, Robin

P.S.: Of course, a big hug to the moderators for tolerating 600-post-threads!

It was great fun reading this! And my small but strange part was fun as well. That blue robed Khajiit is still wandering Oblivion and posting in the fourms.

Posted by: zoroaster Oct 27 2004, 12:06 AM

one small contribution from me.

Even if it was completely random.

It was not as random as you might think. The khajiit came in earlier, then left...however he dropped a small box. It was found, then forgotten for about 100 posts. That's when I came back in and dissapeared again!

If you read the first spotted owl topic you will see...

Posted by: FireMaster Oct 27 2004, 01:27 AM

I never woulda noticed...cuz after about 10 posts on my part, I got too lost to really care.

No offense to anyone intended...and I do plan on looking over parts 4 and 5 soon as I get enough free time.

Try keeping up with all those posts while having five or so characters in the background

I always read everything i missed while i was gone before posting...made me miss some good stuff to participate in.

Posted by: Aki Oct 27 2004, 04:17 AM

I read the current page and then jumped in.
would miss to much if i read everything.

Posted by: Allerleirauh Oct 27 2004, 10:06 AM

Yeah, I was sad to see several people drop out because the thread had gotten too big for them to keep up with.

One suggestion: instead of trying to read 30 pages of posts before joining in, come to the chatroom and talk to people. I pretty much skim all the posts, but if you just ask other people in the chatroom, hey, what's going on right now? they will usually tell you enough to get going.

Posted by: Attrebus Oct 27 2004, 10:26 AM

First 30 pages? hehe I have my post limit set to 100 posts per page...

Posted by: w0nders Oct 27 2004, 01:15 PM

sounds like it was great fun, it's a shame i suck at RPing otherwise i might of joined in...ive got no experience

We've all got to start somewhere. None of us have experience the first time we play.

Posted by: Two-Tails Oct 28 2004, 04:08 AM

Two-Tails read the last part...

moonsuger for everyone, Two-Tails loved it

i know what you mean, I'm not to great at lore either.. i think im going to go study up some more before i try though...

I must agree. It was a very clever trick, Allie.

Posted by: FireMaster Oct 28 2004, 06:43 PM

In the same boat, W0nder...love TES, Love RPing, but the problem is that since I'm so lore deprived that I can only occasionally follow the story (and even then, I have to take plenty of notes in Notepad on my home comp so I can follow).

Thus, if I'm to follow, I best put the entire Imperial Library to memory...

[leaves to TIL to learn]

[a few minutes pass by]

[returns after trying]

My brain hurts and I have failed utterly and completely...don't even remember anything from there.

Posted by: Arynel Oct 28 2004, 07:13 PM

You don't really need to know alot of lore to do RP stuff. If you hang around the lore forum for awhile, you should know enough to RP.

It's really just important that you don't throw in anything that's completely outside of the ES universe (which is a pretty big place!). If someone brings something up that you don't know about, just do a library search.

Posted by: Aki Oct 28 2004, 11:57 PM

You could always play the 'adventurer who never learned any lore' card and act like that.Not every persn on Tamriel is a a loremaster exactly.

Posted by: SEKKA Oct 29 2004, 03:07 AM

or be insane then you can make up your own lore

Posted by: w0nders Oct 29 2004, 08:44 AM

hehe, thanks everyone...I might join in the next one...if i dont miss it

Posted by: Wierd Oct 29 2004, 10:37 AM

Danrit! Missed out because of internet dumbassness!! (I still had the tapdancing steam centurian in the carriage parked out front too! Imagine the carnage to those poor gaurds if it had done its Pirouette of DOOM!)

Oh well... maybe next time.
