| Aravine, if you're going to play in a PBeM, always keep this in mind: things will take longer, there're seven players, in different time-zones, and all have lives (although some would debate that I make a good job of hiding mine), so don't expect things to move quickly. In the game me and Kes played with Kuje we had gotten about 15-16 game-days in a year of real time, and you know what - I didn't mind it one bit, because it was fun. So in short, be patient. |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

Right. Here's that brief synopsis I promised earlier...
Name:- Sayn'uz Karalyn
Gender:- Female
Brief [and very rough] bio:- Sayn'uz is a native of Waterdeep. She's regarded as a virtuoso bard and composer of the tales focusing on the "Gondegal" period of the Forest Kingdom. She is renowned as a performer throughout much of the Western Heartlands, and throughout the lands of Cormyr and Sembia, noted especially for her great showmanship and great skill with a wide variety of selected instruments. Never content to remain static, she is frequently credited with re-defining the concept of the playing of music itself, and much of her personality reflects this apparently "experimental" attitude.
Phys desc:- Sayn'uz is of relatively middle height. Considered just a little over the perception of being "lithe," Sayn'uz doesn't consider herself to be the epitome of "the perfect woman's form." She has a slightly "wild" hint to both her physical and facial features, that gives her an intentional exotic appeal -- likely something she's nurtured as part of her public performances. Her hair is deep brown, with slightly lighter brown streaks at her temples. Her green eyes are flecked with a silver tint.
Yay! I can shave! |

Agreed. I like it that the story is paced slowly--it's relaxing and gives everyone ample time to roleplay. |

Aye, that game ran from Oct. 2005 until May 2007, and over that time, in game we went from the first day of Mirtul to the third day of Kythorn.
Some of the in game days will just skip over with little action, while others will take up to a week in real time to get through. It all depends on what everyone wants to do, or what needs to be done. It's good at the beginning to RP meetings of the characters, because it gives the players a chance to really give their character personality, and how well they will or won't get along with the others in the group.

No worries, I take the wkends off and it allows people to catch up, hopefully, on emails they can't make during the week. |

Yes, and that's likely because of me. I apologise for holding the game up, but I simply ran out of time yesterday and didn't have the opportunity to respond that I originally thought I would have.
I'll get to it today.

As I said before, no worries and there were some scenes that were completed while Aravine was away. |

I'll admit, sometimes I forget. I'm trying my best to remember though.
Did you get the replies I sent recently? |

Blast! I may have forgotten a couple. SageOS doesn't have any "Reply All" routines added yet, so I've got to make each reply and send them individually.
I'll have to take a look.

Good idea, and also I did reply to your most recent post a few days ago. |

Weird because according to the emails I've been receiving, for the group posts, your addy is on all of them going back to the end of Nov..... Maybe hotmail ate them or something. |

| This is partially also the reason why I made my DM's logs, in case people don't receive emails. Of course, if I don't receive them, then that's a whole different problem. :) |

| No worries, seems as if that is going around since your puter died after Kats did. Besides, hardly no one answered during the holidays. :) |

Just a hint from a much stressed father – it will be about a year until your new family member will be able to knock out anything higher than 30 cm above the ground – but then get used to it in any level  |

You know, flirting's fine. However, when trees flirtwith you, it kind of puts you in a strange position

Yes. :) As I said when I posted my list of house rules in the first thread I made when I was seeking players. :) |

So, the new computer arrived today. Luckily I was able to coax the old one into living long enough for me to copy my files, the next day it booted the OS completely off. *Sigh* So give me a couple of days to read everything, then I'll start making some actual input into this game. :)
Then it's off to try and find all the webpages that I had bookmarked.....and that I can remember... :(
