The Free Company Tavern & "OOC" Thread: Book IV

[unmerged(14966)]

EJ's tavern

And of course I had to go and ruin it with my demand for a decent selection of vintage wines, endless female companions, and constant wanderings. But, as RJ pointed out to me, some things are a requirement for us after all this time.

First post might be imminent, hopefully I won't create a disturbance.

All,

I apologize for not putting anything up...

Should be clear by tommorow.

By the way, now that my Firewall is clear, I'd like to start a multiplayer game with an (informal to some degree) AAR. If GE gets to be a large drain on my time, it might even be a simple Taunt/Strategy/Game Chronicle deal.

Anyone here interested?

Hawk,

I think it worked very well.

Keep it up.

I might be interested HG, but I have to hammer out my current issues in running EU2 as a whole first.

Should I do so, I might just be up for it.

RJ

Edit: No real posting from me for a little bit, having some network issues...

 

[TheWildFerret]

I'm interested as well... I think it would be pretty interesting in getting several points of view on the same game

 

[HolisticGod]

E and R J,

I've been giving it some thought since I decided to scrap DSL in favor of cable and a firewall/network in favor of baring myself to the net. There are a lot of possibilities with an MP AAR, from a very interesting but straight up account of the game (see the MGC), an old-fashioned history or semi-narrative (probably humor) or a full-fledged collaborative novel.

I'll need to vet it before The Great Embassy starts, in order to work out where I want each to go. But, in any event, I definately want to get a long-term, large (4-8) multiplayer game going, even if it's just reported in an organizational thread...

LD,

Not hijacking. I swear.

Your post was great.

LLE: Sent a messenger to the company? Just making sure

LD, Great post.

Heheh, GO TO SLEEP RJ!!

Gotta say to all, the last two acts (the chase and the collapse) are incredibly well written. Many of the characters are expressing things in the same manner as some of their more modern counterparts (particularly landers facing the Russian hordes during 1944-45). Some resignation, some pondering, some steeling for the inevitable, some anger and even breaking. Well done indeed!

LLE,
I wonder how many times those exact sentiments have played out over the centuries, regardless of the time and circumstances.

Very nice post. Welcome aboard.

Good intro

All

I am in the process of moving rooms, and taking stuff out of storage (it's a bigger room - more space for books ). That, in addition to the fact that it is my brother's birthday this week, and my other brother is on leave, means that I'll only be about sporadically until about Sunday. If anyone leaves a hook etc. I will respond, but I am not going to be 'volunteering' anything, if you know what I mean. After that I ought to be back in the saddle.

SN,

Actually, we all seem to be tuckered out lately. I have to think it's the resolution of so many plotlines... it seems we're all ready for the beginning of the end.

I think you're right. Go figure, my new machine has been delayed a couple of days, too. Drat it!

Anyway, I plan to post the launch of the attack tomorrow. I'll be moving ahead about two days game time.

Dinner with MrT on Thursday, so expect a firming up of a plotline for Book V. If anyone else out there has some thoughts on it, nows the time to drop me a line (got yours, T-H and SM)

[The_Hawk]

BTW, LD, do drop me a line if any of that stuff winds up getting incorporated into The Grand Plan. (You needn't necessarily tell me which bits. ) I think some of the major characters might appeal to HG and/or SM.

 

[Craig Ashley]

LD: Sent you an email outlining my ideas. Let the show begin!

Damn! I leave town Thursday afternoon and won't be back until Sunday evening.

Chris, you want me to prewrite some stuff for what we talked about, and you post them when the right time comes around? If LD launches this on schedule, then Book IV will be over before I get back (unless the foolish FC troops think they can stave off the Turk that long! ).

 

[HolisticGod]

T,

Still waiting on the go ahead from you.

If you'd like to write the whole bit yourself, feel free, but otherwise let me know...

 

[The_Hawk]

SM,

This crew, write a battle scene in four days? When it's the largest battle the FC has ever been in? I don't see it happening.

Besides, between stnylan, HG and I, we've got at least a dozen posts to make...

LD dropped you a line a couple of days ago in response to the PMs.

let me know if you didn't get it, I merely responded to the "caveat" mail you send to all of us.

Stroph,

No slight was intended in the use of "The Frenchman" since Erik hasn't really had much interaction with you, he was unsure of your name. Just wanted to make that clear

EJ

 

[HolisticGod]

Hawk,

Speaking of which, I don't know who sent the last e-mail, but do you have any idea how you're going to write the skiff scene? I'll just drop the package off wherever you want it, and let you run it until you get to the wall, because I've all kinds of shit to do.

CA,

Completely missed your post.

The need for the head has... dissipated... But I do intend to put it up for all the world to see. Perhaps your crazy Russian will find new respect for the Greeks?

Thanks.

No Frenchman would ever be insulted by being refered to as a "Frenchman." Tomas is no differerent. You can call him tomas, the Frenchman or such!



Besides, with the impending clash on the way, Tomas has more on his mind then anything like that!

RJ, you have mistakingly called "Tomas" by the name "Thomas" a few times in your last post. There is a Thomas in the party and he is with the Byzantines.
