Hiya Y'all

I'm Corrine's friend/ victim :;
):

Looking forward to having a new rp experience with you all

Welcome! Delighted to have a Yve Tullison.

Will try to set up your private forum and Tullison forum access tomorrow, but feel free to PM me with questions/character sheet tweaks.

[Dunstan Tullison]

Hello and welcome!

Great to have Yve as a PC.

[Kevan Lyras]

Story 2, why can't you start today...

[Baelon Drakeson]

'cause we still need to finish up the house event stuff. How about helping things along and running the Faith Militant in [url=the Coldbrook event][/url]? :;
):
Reader said we can run it simultaneous with Loreia's fight.

[Kevan Lyras]

I posted initiative and will also post orders, if I am online at "
my"
turn. But as with the melee fight of Loreia, everybody (and that includes our new players) is encouraged to step in and act on behalf of Ser Steffon...

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

Baelon nods.
"
I was already aware of your previous interest in Dyana. That's actually why I brought the matter up - to see if you were still pursuing her."

He pauses, gathering his thoughts.

Just as silence starts to get awkward and uncomfortable, Baelon continues.
"
Marrying Dyana would be a mistake."

Noooooo! Baelon! Y u hate love?! Yyyyyy?!

[url=This.][/url] Ok, that doesn't really have anything to do with what Baelon is saying, but it's a good song that popped into my head when I read your post.

Release the Kraken! No, not House Greyjoy, the actual one!

Are you calling Dyana fat?

[Theomore Tullison]

Tsssk, tsssk.

No more poaching of Tullison PC's allowed.

[Reader]

Top ship sinking Baelon, or at least attempted ship sinking.

It wouldn't be poaching if it was approved of.

Besides, there's no reason that EVERY betrothal in this game should only last a matter of weeks...

Top ship sinking Baelon, or at least attempted ship sinking.

I try, I try.
Really though, I'm not just making trouble for the sake of making trouble... or even for the sake of having an interesting narrative arc.
I really think that, politically speaking, Dyana just isn't the right choice.

Hello everyone. I thought this would be an appropriate place to ask a question that has been impeding me: what are the legal and moral considerations vis-à-vis taking a character portrait from, say, deviantart, to use here. I think I finally found one that works for my character, but I wasn't sure whether it was cool to up and nab it.

It's totally ok to do that. Just credit the artist in your sig. Mine is from DA, and I just have the artist's credit in my sig.

Wicked. It is done. Now I can get on with integrating myself into the game properly.

Hey all you people. I'm just letting you know I'm removing my character's surname. She probably shouldn't have one anyway, but I dunno, maybe things are different on Bear Island, and frankly it just doesn't make sense to me that the majority of even smallfolk wouldn't use surnames, if only to differentiate from that guy Bob who sells oysters at the docks from that guy Bob who sells...a different kind of oyster deeper in the dregs of Flea Bottom(most decrepit/lawless folks in Flea Bottom probably don't bother anyway). So for now, surname = gone, until I can come up with something better. I just really don't like it, it's just bad.

[Theomore Tullison]

Surnames during middle ages is mostly a phenomenon among those who's family matter (nobles, merchant houses) and where the community is so large that there's a need for the extra distinction, and in the latter case, that might perhaps only apply if someone has a need to actually differentiate.

Using a patronym or your profession (Miller, Smith etc..which usually where what your father also had) sufficed for a very long time for most people. Then sometime in much more recent history, they started to keep these surnames, John Smith would use the Smith surname even if his grandfather was the last actual smith in the family. Bob and Jim Andrewson might be the children of Martin Andrewson, their grandfather being the Andrew in question.

The two oyster selling Bob's might be old Bob and young Bob, or tall Bob and short Bob.

Two points:

1) This will making sending PMs easier for me when I need to type your name. :;

2) You've already earned a grander title from Prince Daemon by strength of character and worthy deeds rather than birth!

[Yoren longshore]

There are even "
important"
people who didn't use surnames! But "
normal"
people could have surnames as well, it's really not set in stone, if you want a surname it's easily justifiable, if you don't want it that is justifiable too;

[Reader]

Right, hopeful of being able to start story 2 tomorrow. First day of story 2 will last two weeks like last time (in part because I'll be travelling).

Forum skeleton is in place, will paste in area descriptions tomorrow hopefully and kick things off with the official events (these work slightly differently this time, more of a static list of events that you can try/retry with hidden TNs and information to learn and then bicker over).

[Athelstan]

That sounds grand!

Now to beg the dice God, to bless me with a 12 in a 3d6 roll.

You surely used up a ton of bad luck in your skirmish. :?

At least it made for a close outcome!

[Loreia]

I tried looking up new musical interpretations of Song of Ice and Fire or Game of Thrones. All you ever find are covers and remixes of music by Ramin Djawadi. Imitation is the highest form of flattery, but can't some people out there get truly original? Have you guys found any new music inspired by Song of Ice and Fire?

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

It's getting increasingly hard to find original artwork too.

[Yoren longshore]

I know your struggle! closest you get is artas
