Of course when a character really should post due to some significant event, its then down to the others to refrain from posting until that player does.<br/><br/>I'm not a fan of two players 'abusing' the free-post style either though, say posting back and forth for a page between them just because those two are online at the same time... ;)<br/><br/>Can I also raise a point here, please. I don't play D&amp;D so some of the terms you are using are over my head. Could we try to avoid D&amp;D terminology and character classes a little if possible? I've no idea what some of the things are you guys have called your characters so perhaps these skills and classes can be explained in-game/IC as we go along? It'll give us something to talk about as well I guess.<br/><br/>Lastly, something I noticed is that a couple of the characters we have <em>appear</em> to have magical abilities. I thought we had decided this was pretty much a magic-free world. Comments?<br/><br/>EDIT: Pffft, sorry, something I noticed in the IC thread. Meadowvale is what? A small town? Or a city? People are describing it differently - I had assumed it was a pretty small rural place, maybe not a one-horse town but nothing too big. If its a big place I'll need to tweak my character bio somewhat. Thanks!<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Meadowvale is a smaller community, i think i posted in the interest topic that it has a population of approx 200, but a lot of that is farmland. The central settlement is probably about half of the population, with small shops and houses. If i am causing confusion it's because i hate reusing the same word over and over. if i keep saying village or something, to me it grows stale. The characters that have "magic" as gabrielm said, his just appears so because he is so fluid with his sword, butterfly uses music to "enchant" people, and Akiko has something that isn't recognized as magic if i remember right. And for the terminology, if you don't recognize words, let me know and i'll try to define them for you.
