Hey, just a little idea I had after viewing the recent flame war. Honestly, I have no clue what its about(something about bandits and elves). A lot of players come on at different times, and so, rather unfortunately I don't get the pleasure of playing with many of the players between my 11pm to my 7:30pm! I'm sure its the same for a lot of you...unless you're on your computer *all* the time... some characters often also have to retire periodically "to the mainland" which is why I thought it would be nice if we had a little commentary of the Gobiath's goings on. (May've been done before but hoodily-doodah)No flames, rumours, or even discussion of the recent events, just elaborations, if possible. For example:

The news: This week on the 24 of Siros, the Prince of Salkamar took possession of Troll's Bane. He was opposed by a small resistance, whom were ultimately defeated when Taliss was killed in a duel with the prince himself.Extra info: Salkamaerian warfare: http://illarion.org/community/wiki/index.php/Warfare#Salkamar
(Yes, I'm that out of touch I had to give that as an example, but hey!)Not for things like :
Code: Select all
A shifty new character walks off the dock, the wind blowing his magenta cape magnificently. He strides looking for an rp response, in the hopes that others will care, but noone does.
And also not for:
Code: Select all
It was super-pwnage today when Jackson and I robbed some dude and took all his stuff! He was just walking along when we snuck up and banged him on the head!
More for things that characters should know without having to ask around. I remember having to go around asking who won that battle. Noone could tell me for about half an hour of asking, one day after it happened, and that was *inside* Bane!
Try to retain a neutral viewpoint too. We are all story tellers!
