"If you want to stay and help, fine, but I am going to teach those Riddians a lesson! Hyaaah!!"
He/she snaps the reins and rides off into the forest, a blood lust of rage filled revenge in his/her eyes.
Then where to? the woods is a big area, if the riddians are even in there.. I think we need to wait for jetrall or elfen to move us back into combat. our last lead was to help the people, so.. we are helping the people.

I figured somebody would ride to Riddia. We know exactly where that is thanks to Jetrall's map.
See, this exactly why I don't want to have to wait 2 weeks to join in on this. My character could be the reckless one. I expected either Donsro or Kifu to go berserk, and then I thought, hey don't we have Barbarians in the crew with us to do that sort of thing? Then I checked, and Dauroth and Havoc aren't playing and they both had Barbarians(I also noticed Kamrad, Vnom and Turmobil aren't playing either, but I know Turmobil's reason). The least we can hope for is Buliwyf to do something brash, since it seems he is the only barbarian-ish character left.
We don't have to wait for Jetrall and Elfen to hold our hands every single step of the way. What's the harm in doing something a bit crazy and out of the box? All they can make you do is delete if it doesn't mesh with the story.

So.... we're supposed to fuck off from the children, the burning village, the sobbing townspeople, and the overall scene of devastation, and ride to Riddia to destroy a whole fucking town, with one guy?
I don't agree
Sure, it's nice to have a reckless character in the group, but if they're always pulling a rambo on us and going off to fight entire armies with a pair of salad tongs, that really doesn't contribute to the story anything beyong "Look how badass my character is".
We don't need to have Elfen and Jetrall hold our hands the whole way, it's just nice to get some direction so we don't go leading the story in a completely different direction than is intended. As can be demonstrated by my first post.
And doing things like that with "they can delete it" to fall back upon, isn't exactly a great idea. It just makes it so you lost a (hopefully) well thought out post, and will make you less inspired when writing up a replacement post.
Don't mean to come off as a troll here, but seriously man, give this some thought.

I definitely didn't mean that everyone in the group say to hell with the people. I get where you're coming from, and I honestly wouldn't go as far as you described, and I can assure you he wouldn't pull a Rambo all the time, probably only a one time deal. Its not like I would try to assault the entire town head on with one man. What I had in mind was that on his way to Riddia, he would find a sentry unit in the forest, and takes them on, coming out of the fight a bloody mess, their blood and his own. I would make sure he was almost more of a mess than Jamis. It would be a nice lesson for the character to learn that he would need to work with all the knights to be effective.
Trust me, I do give everything I write quite a bit of thought. When I get the chance to post my character backstory, youwill reconsider how I think, and that my thoughts are a lot more complex than you obviously assumed. Mind you, I have taken several classes in film writing, and I have written two feature length screenplays over 90 pages each (& numerous short film screenplays), so I do know a few things about storytelling.
I don't know about Jetrall and Elfen, but if I was running the show here and someone ran off into the woods alone to take on the city, whatever, I would have them killed and then any posts after would be deleted. This RP is supposed to be about the group of people here doing whatever Jetrall and Elfen planned out for us to do, rather than every character going off and having there own little side story. As said before Jetrall and Elfen want us to help move the story along (the part where Jamis kept asking to see Buliwyf). He then said that offering to move a character to a medic tent that is injured is a good ammount of push for the story. I personally don't see having a character go off into the woods to learn a lesson a good push, it's really too much. Like Zhar said having your fall back plan be that they'll just delete your posts if it doesn't mesh is not a very good way to go about things.
Again, most of us here are amatuer RPers so we might not have the experience that you so pompously outlined in your last post, but I think that everyone should be able to have enough patients to let Jetrall and Elfen guide the RP, rather than trying to guide it ourselves. At least from my stand point it seems that you want to lead the RP with them, instead of following them.
*nods*
I wouldn't get the other two in much trouble though, it was mostly just me being childish.
Oh well, I have my moments.
But anywho!
What did ever happen to those people that Archie listed off?
Seems a lot of em just posted up their characters, then never gave it a second thought. Maybe should we get some response from them as to if they're going to participate or not?

For the record, while running off into the woods alone is not against the rules, it is discouraged. I don't recommend it.
Gotcha. I just thought that before, you were trying to encourage us to do some free thinking. Forgive me for suggesting that, I'm still a newb to this whole RP thing. I had hoped such an act would add to character depth and development.
As for the missing players, I know that Kamrad started his own RP. That still leaves Havoc, Dauroth, and Vnom as no-shows.
Okay, scyberdragon, I have a bone to pick with you!
When you are typing a line where someone is talking, make it a new paragraph. This is not how it's always done, but it is a good rule of thumb and makes it a lot easier to read. Please. For all of all good, do it
Well, I changed it. I know this is proper literary style but I don't like starting a new paragraph every time I use dialogue. A lot of times there will be a thought in the middle of a sentence, I cant break that up. Or sometimes dialogue, quick commentary and then more dialogue. Now it reads kind of oddly. but if everyone else thinks it is easier to read...

This is just a quick question idea. Shouldn't there be another thread where people who aren't in the RP can post and discuss about The Knights. It just seems pretty exclusive here and we might want their input and all. Just an idea thanks.

Good post man, finally something that isn't going along the "help teh childrenz" thing that everyone seems to be on right now.
I tried getting us away from that a couple posts back, but only Party_Foul noticed Ignis's explosion, and then Elfen totally shot down the whole "Let's go burn Riddia to the ground" idea :(.
Oh well, hopefully we get back on track soon, we're taking a bit too much time in Tappas.

i sadly dont have the time to read each post to get the story. lol im glad i didnt get invovled with this cause i could never stay updated.

But apparently the two in charge of this RP must be on some sort of a vacation.
