Greetings, folks!
Although not a full month old, there is still a whole lot of things to report for the first monthly review of Winds of Fury RPG Forum. These newsflashes will be sent at the end of every month(unless there are unforseeable circumstances a la a brick falling on my head or an attack of evil nuclear squirrels) and will be divided into two parts – OOC and IC news. So without further ramble, here goes!
~~~***OOC(Out of Character)***~~~
First, don’t laugh but...
Please welcome the following new members to our board:
Aailski, Kylee, Makato, Evelyn, SRness, Charlie, Aliera and Bexx. Make them feel welcome, warm and fuzzy and include them in your in character activities which are fun and many!
Several of you already have characters set up and are jumping into the Weyr’s life with happy squeals but let me just remind you that whenever you’re in doubt, have a question, concern or comment, please feel free to come to me so we can figure it out one way or another. And if your concern is about me, you can always throw Kamach a PM – he’s pretty good at walking me up and onto the plank.
That said, I’d like to introduce our staff that although small-ish, is enthusiastic at what they do and happy to help whenever!
My admin account name is Nyaare but I also sometimes go by Elorian, Niamee, Raewin... The options are unlimited though Elorian is the one I use mostly for my Out of Character identity. It may happen that I will change the admin name to that so when I do, don’t be alarmed, otherwise I’ll be exactly the same!
I’ve Rped for over ten years and adminned forums about 7 of them, starting with an Anita(Blake)verse forum and Black Jewels Trilogy one and now, my third little baby, the Winds of Fury. I’ve always been crazy about the Dragonriders of Pern series and the character I created(S’ren) had been rummaging around my brain for about a decade or more, ever since reading the books.
Outside the interwebz I’m a desk monkey from Estonia in her late twenties(I can say that about 29, right?), I’m from a large family that at first considered themselves the Addams’s and by now has been demoted to the Simpsons. I have a white fluffy cat and friends in and out of the worldwide web. I’m welcome to new ideas and suggestions, I love to read and write and I’m crazy about Karl Urban(shhh). Don’t be shy when wanting to contact me, I don’t bite, at all.
My fellow admin Kamach(Kammie) is the strong and silent type. He’s around when needed and fixes what I break which unfortunately happens alot. Although not exactly the Pern enthusiast that I am, he’s a fair and considerate boyo and deserves all the respect and love we have! As for any further introductions, I’ll let you ask him yourselves and see what you can find out.
If you haven’t noticed yet, I would like to draw your attention to the art-work of the forum. In my opinion in tune with the simple theme I wanted for the place and very much looking like something actually drawn on Pern, it’s all made by Lee. He’s absolutely brilliant, most helpful even if I do twist his arm and make him change an icon for about eleven times before satisfied. The forum images and all but one rank icons are original art made by him. Thank you!
For the time being, I’m not looking to find another staffer. I find that with my high levels of enthusiasm and with some patience and persistence from you guys, we can manage just fine. If however, you have ideas you think would work for the forum or awesome suggestions on how to bring more activity, better plots and such into the game, please feel free to PM them to me.
~~~***IC(In Character)***~~~
The following characters were created during this month:
Paughlene, S’ren, T’khor, Nyanko, Skylar, K’rel, Kinnek, A’rik, A’reus.
The RP has been furious, scenes have been flying right away with flaring tempers, new acquiantances, changes, newly found friendships and disappointments.
It all began with the arrival of S’ren from Ista Weyr, as the replacement to the aging Weyrwoman and the young one who was killed in a disoriented going Between-accident. Noone is happy with the solution and as the new Weyrwoman finds out, they’re not exactly shy to let her know what they think of things. In turn, S’ren finds herself at loss with how bad the situation at the Weyr really is – lacking Flight training, lazy and rowdy alcohol-abusing dragonriders, fighting wings that have more holes in them than Benden cheese... Not to mention the seriously lacking discipline the woman finds especially off-putting, coming from the well-working Ista Weyr.
The next logical step would be to go through the new Queen’s mating flight, also solving the issue of the Weyrleader. Filled with bums and troublemakers the Weyr sure has it’s share of those who think they not only could but should become the next Weyrleader. Not knowing much about any of them, S’ren has left it all up to her gold, Talmeth, to choose which bronze(or brown?) will catch her. The Weyr needs more dragons desperately so the rider dares not distract the Queen with her opinions about the riders of these males willing and ready to fly her. Rest assure it is nothing positive anyway.
While the big boys(and girl) go about their powerplay, the inner workings of the Weyr go on with the support staff, the weyrbrats and others living their lives almost as if apart from the dragonriders.
The 7th Pass begins in a year. Will Enkala be ready?
