It's been pointed out that, given the time-frame, Fin couldn't have "apprenticed" under Edward Teach... the man hasn't even been born, yet.

I'll make an edit and replace Teach with another buccaneer a bit later.

Update - Replaced Teach with Henry Morgan... Thanks, Altaira!

He could have apprenticed under Edward Teach just not "That Edward Teach" lol

Smooth, Keeper! I like it.

Reading everyone's posts thus far. Bravo.

I apologize for the mistake I made in placing the game in the Freeform section and the confusion it has caused. I thought about putting it in the D&D section, but seeing as I harbor nothing but disgust for the rules of D&D on a whole, I didn't want to sully the realityBITES system with association.

So, here are some common rules to writing posts that should be notes:

If you want the character to perform a skill check (the better you'll know once you receive your character sheets), just put it in parenthesis with an OOC: in front of the request. e.g. OOC: Awareness check.).

If you wish to engage in combat, or in the event that combat erupts, you'll need to provide me with an Offense, Defense, and general purpose (such as, Fin's purpose is to stay close to Anna and see to it she doesn't get flanked). That way, I can write out as much combat as possible without having to draw it out as that can get tedious in PBP games.

Small interactions with NPCs like what Eol posted with between Fin and Blaze is fine. You can rest assured that most of the NPCs will do whatever they are told. Longer discourses and special circumstances will require my involvement.

If I think of any others, I'll share them with you. I'll endeavor to update the game every Monday for sure and will do so with the majority of players having posted for their characters. If I don't have majority, I'll hold off a week to update the game until majority is attained. If I don't have majority for three weeks running, I'll consider the game dead and close it down. An alternative to shutting the game down is removing characters from play (which is really easy to do and is usually done through character death). I'll be happy to continue the game as long as I have players willing to play.

So if I wanted to see if my character can gather info from the locals I would write up the narrative and then put that I do a skill check? Sounds fair.

That's what you'd do. You'd lead right up to any information actually being given, describe actions, etc. If you are bribing, you ask for a bribe check. If you are convincing, you ask for such a check, if you are gathering information, you ask for that check.

I've updated the game. Things got really interesting for a couple of you.

Lol Loving the reality bites! Got the beat down in a pub and a well deserved one trying to take on so many scoundrels! This is amazing!

Okay, I took a few minor liberties with an NPC interaction, in my last post Brom... If it's not acceptable let me know (or feel free to edit) as applicable.

... didn't turn you away Elious. And, Eol, I'm good with what you've done.

Was very busy today at work; as soon as I have my Cheeseburger, I'm going home to start work on a post. Should have it up tonight or tomorrow.

Ha didn't turn me away at all. Almost died! Got to be careful from now on.

Cheeseburger is the best!

...The cheeseburger properly nourished you. Great post. I didn't leave you a whole lot to work with and you passed muster. It honestly wasn't intentional.

The character creation side is moving right along. I'll hopefully have a couple of additional character sheets out to players this week.

I'll be making the game update Monday as scheduled since it looks like we still have some players who need to post.

I'm waiting to see what Hammer does with his character then i'll play off of that. My guy is in pretty rough shape right now so I obviously need his assistance haha I know he is at an event this week so he may not post until Saturday I'm presuming.

Actually the Event begins Sunday and I have to drive to Texas on Saturday with a friend of mine to pick up another friend who will be attending the Event.

Hopefully I will get a Suitable Post done later tonight for Horizon and something for Flesh & Blood by Friday night

Will not be able to Post again until Saturday August 29 or later depending upon my available time!

Ah well there you have it lol!
