Politics of the East (OOC)

Alright.

Instead of using the same name and confusing things, I'd say e.g.: residential quarter, a series of medium-sized houses designed to provide temporary shelter and food for workers, without metagame effects. I'll make this IC in my next post.

@ Iskar: thanks, edited

@Saeros: Actually there is no longer a metagame building called inn or tavern, so you can use that safely. (The mercenary buildings now are called Den of Iniquities and Outpost.) Best make it an inn and a storehouse.

PS: Do we have to use valuable timber (usually used for construction) as firewood? There should be a considerable amount of scrap wood and kindling produced as leftovers when the sawmills saw the trunks to planks, maybe equal in amount to a third of the output, so each turn with 3 wagonloads of timber gives another IC-only wagonload of firewood?

(If you concede that Iskar will mention it IC as a possibility to get more firewood.)

I would consider every 3 Wagonloads you get out of Hex 61 (Silverwood Forest) to give you 1 Firewood because the Noldor Woods are very thick and the Trees have more Branches.(I think)
Any other Wagonload from other Hexes will only give 1/5 of Firewood = every 5 Wagonloads you get 1 Firewood

The only other sawmill is in Laria, the woods of which are basically the same as the adjacent Silverwood (61). The eastern forests stretch over several counties.

Or that 2 Timber is enough for a full stockade.

@ Mordred:2 Timber for a stockade matches with the 3 Timber for a pallisade around a Village I think.
A stockade is simmilar to a Pallisade but we use it to describe the first stage of a Castle which is smaller than a village I think. The Villages or houses for the peasants are mostly build around the Castles which then need a pallisade.


@ Iskar: Ok so Timber out of the Noldor Woods (Hexes 61 and 54) provide 1/3 of their produce as Firewood whereas all other Hexes provide 1/5 of their produce as Firewood.

You're making a devious smile into unsettling subtext? Well...

@Iskar: do you mean me? If there is subtext then it is not intended.

meant Laisha

Would you play Ithilrandir, Psychozoa? No need for extensive character roleplay, just his decisions and answers, i.e. for the time being, whether he receives Iskar.

will do

double Post:

Have you two met before(how often)? How good do you know each other.

I'd go as far as saying 'no extensive character roleplay at all'.

As Saxon is writing that book.

Iskar and Ithilrandir have not met during this actual roleplay but in the beginning it said the Silvermist handled a lot of diplomatic missions with the Noldor and in my application it said Iskar went on those quite often before and when he was made Constable.

@ Saeros: will you post in the assembly room or are you still thinking?

Saeros has left for the Steppes to oversee Wayrest Residence.

I, the player, have removed myself from this event.

Roger that, so Laisha has to answer I guess. Or is someone else inside the Room?

just a reminder: I told you about a problem in the steppes which might cause a problem later on.

Are we going to move on with this anytime soon? There are some important plans I'd like to get under way.

I'm not completely sure we actually understood what you meant by "something they can hold onto". If this is just about a lack of self-confidence, we cannot do much about it anyway, since the very concept of self-confidence implies that you must achieve it yourself and it cannot be given in any real way.

It is not completely about self-confidence, but it most certainly plays its part. The thing is that if you ignore this, the problem won't get worse because it already exists. This is a situtaion were you can only win.

If the situation ever arises again.



edit I: I will post regarding the merchants arriving(or not) from Marleons, Poinsbruk and Laria soon.

Is the scroll a recommendation from the mounted ranger in your character's story, Alaric?

Yes. Basically a "hes good material, put him through the wringer to make sure he is what we want" kind of thing.

Looking at other rps I know in the future to actually add what the letter/note says.

I'm a bit confused there. I thought this event happens in the time between the mini events and the throne room event, i.e. before the outcome of the latter.
