Out of Character (OOC) Thread

[Bynw]

Never lose HOPE! and don't worry so much about the dice. "They are more like guidelines anyway!" (don't tell Bynw I said that.  )

Bynw has on multiple occasions said he runs role-playing games, not roll-playing games.  He will fudge a dice roll in a hot minute if it serves the plot. 

It's difficult to do that with a play-by-post game though.

But not impossible.

Laurna, please don't apologise for your writing, the emotional intensity of Wash's situation and how you are writing it is very powerful, and if it is sad, then that is where the story is at the moment. but not for ever, and dice can be subverted (mostly!).

It is all our responsibility to move the story along - well actually Bynw's but you let a group of writers into a game and look what happens. We are only a week and a half in, after all.

As for Brendan and Jamyl, I think that they would have thought it part of the duty they owe to the King to put some of the merchant's wares to the test to ensure that along with his other negligences he is not dealing in substandard produce.

I do have a question. Since Feyd has basically taken away Washburns power and made him like a human, would the Blue Fyre even work for him?

[revanne]

Washburn's powers are not blocked: he needs to be regularly dosed with the Merasha like substance to prevent them returning. So I assume if the dosing stopped then his powers would gradually return and he would be open to the effects of the Blue Fyre

Feyd has taken away Washburn's power through some combination of some old healer drugs. This makes him very much like a human. While the drugs are in his system he has no access to his powers or Shields. And is therefore easy to control and set controls that would probably work even when Wash's powers returned once the drugs were stopped and they had time to leave his system.

Washburn's powers are not blocked: he needs to be regularly dosed with the Merasha like substance to prevent them returning. So I assume if the dosing stopped then his powers would gradually return and he would be open to the effects of the Blue Fyre

Actually Blue Fyre acts as an antidote to Merasha and the substance that Feyd is giving to Washburn. It would burn it all out and Wash's powers would snap back and be extremely powerful for the few hours as Blue Fyre runs its course. But given the side effects of Blue Fyre, I wouldnt recommend using it as an antidote unless circumstances were grave indeed.

Thanks

[Demercia]

I suppose I shouldn't cheer😀

[DerynifanK]

Jaxom apparently  never learns. He insulted Aliset right in front of the King. Hurrah for Darcy! If anyone should be punished it's Jaxom. Hope Kelson will agree.

[revanne]

Why do I get the distinct impression that Kelson is cheering inwardly.

What a pity Feyd didn't kidnap Jaxom, they deserve each other.

[Jerusha]

Thank you, noble friends, for your approval.

[DerynifanK]

I agree Revanne. They would have made the perfect couple 

[Laurna]

Laurna raises a glass (of hot tea ) to drink a toast with King, Prince, and Archbishop.

[Jerusha]

Jerusha raises morning coffee to join the toast to Sir Richard!

[HoundMistress]

What a fine bit of writing to all!! I'm so glad to see Jaxom really punished & that Aliset approved enough to take Darcy's arm! Could not believe that cur, Jaxom, had the absolute nerve to accuse the lady of improper behavior to press his suit. I won't be unhappy if he falls in battle. Probably from being struck in the back while running away.  What a swine he is! I'm glad the Blue Fyre won't cause Wash permanent insanity, just allow him an opportunity to escape, which I surely hope he will do. Bravo!!!
