I am sorry for this being a few days late but here it is! The fourth volume in the monthly summary into the exciting life at Winds of Fury Pern RPG forum! As always, best way to get up to date information on what’s going on, is to check it out yourself by logging in and reading up at the source of the wealth. But here are the snippets nonetheless!
~*~ Out of Character(OOC) ~*~
In August we gained the following new members: Anima, Sparkle, Delirium and Skye. Some of them have already found their spots and created their characters, I hope that you can come up with awesome concepts that will be fun to roleplay with and as. If you’re stuck, never be shy to contact either me(Nyaare) or SRness for ideas or post in Character plot forum to get the general public’s opinions.
I know usually in these little summaries, I report our advance toward some sort of post count goal. Well, not this time! We post at our own pace and are having fun just like that. That said, I will tell you there is a lovely surprise for all of us waiting once we get to our 2000th post.
The main OOC news involves the addition to the staff team. Please welcome or woe her name as SRness takes up a space in the Drudge’s Quarters, becoming the first content Mod in the game. She will be welcoming, reviewing and accepting new characters, modding the forums, doing some challenges and advertising if she gets the time.
Speaking of advertising, as you might have noticed, we now have an active advertising forum. It’s guest friendly and is available for anyone promoting their forum. The general point of the board is to link games so they would be easy to find when you want something other than what you’re doing now. It’s not an invitation to dump us(mainly because we’d be terribly sad and suffer greatly) but it is an opportunity to see beyond the fence, so to speak. Affiliating with WoF is for active members only, if you wish to do so, post your in the advertising forum and PM me with the button code.
As a conclusion to the Out of Character news section, I would like to remind everyone of you that the success of the board depends on all of us being active and enthusiastic. Sure, it doesn’t mean you should spend your whole days here but take interest, join open threads, plot and get together with other players and create new and interesting storylines. Bring your friends in on this if you think they would be willing to play in the theme, use our button and ad when surfing other forums. Of course, that is a voluntary favour you would gain cookie points for merely.
For those of you who keep coming back and playing with us – thank you, you are brilliant! For those of us who aren’t still sure if they want to play on Winds of Fury – no pressure, take your time and get to know us, the plot, the forum setup and when you feel ready, we’ll welcome you among the crowd!
~*~ In Character(IC) ~*~
August saw the creation of the following wonderful characters: J’sey, E’rosen, Lancelle and Mathias. A great balance of dragonriders and Weyrfolk there or shall we say dragonriders and potentials? *winks* Please seek them out and offer them the best Enkala Weyr has to give!
On the 20th Day of the 8th Month, Enkala Weyr’s gold dragon began Clutching. Though many wanted to behold this amazing event, few could for the process needed peace and quiet, something Enkalans were not known for. Although the Weyrwoman had all the confidence in her Queen, even she looked a little worried during the long hours from when it all began and once the last egg was placed on the warm sands.
But that was unnecessary! Like many Queens before her, Talmeth handled it all with grace and dutifully clutched 37 eggs! That is indeed one of the biggest Clutches Enkala had ever seen! Although the golden egg remained elusive, S’ren was certain it would be in the next Clutch.
For the Searchriders, this meant even more Candidates were required. The Weyrleaders placed before them a list of demands the young person they find had to fill. The age requirement(16 to 20 Turns), the strength of character, the sheer number of them! The Weyrleader insisted on more male Candidates while the Weyrwoman said there would be quite many female ones as well.
What colours of dragonets emerge from the eggs the Queen now guards with zeal, remains to be seen at the Hatching that takes place on the 23rd Day of the 9th Month. The Weyr Historian would like to remind the Candidates to send in the information on their future lifemates to her before that date. Also, more Candidate characters are accepted at least until then. (Info)
Although the Clutching was indeed among the most important events in the 8th Month of the year 1757, an unexpected obstacle was met when during a thunderstorm at the 6th Day the Weyrling Barracks caught fire after an unfortunately struck lightning. Efforts to put out the fire during the storm were assisted by most of the Weyr. There was nobody in the barracks at the time so nobody got hurt, however now the rebuilding is in a mad rush to get everything done by the Hatching. Luckily some of the Holds the Weyr has better relations with, are helping Enkala out. The Weyrwoman said the renovations will be on time and precautions have been taken to avoid the barracks from catching fire so easily.
Naturally there were minor plots, personal scenes, otherwise fun bits of time to be had during the 8th Month but not everything should be on the bulletin.
Good flying out there!
