This new schedual of mine has been a killer. I've been watching the boards, but havn't had much time to write anything new. I've got a few new ideas, but it might be a few days until I can get them out. I'll try to have at least a post or two up this week if possible. There just arn't enough hours in the day right now, but I'll work something out.

[Vaalic]

Hey guys,

I was wondering what your thoughts were on closing Land in Chaos 3 to open 4? By that I mean, are we still going to open a new thread after about eighty posts and start Land in Chaos 4, or should we just keep running the one we have, now that the boards can hold the longer threads. I just noticed we were getting close to our old cap, thought I'd mention it.

[Killean]

Might be a good idea to end it at 80. there is no point but for organizational purposes of saving the threads it would be best. Or so are my thoughts on the subject.

[Jake]

So sorry I have not posted again I'll had my computer being fixed, the video card shit it self and well, left me up that well known creek with out even a stick to row with.

But i am back, I hope I have not missed too much I'll start reading up tonight after work as quickly as I can. sorry about the no warning it just kind of happened, I hate computers.

[Vaalic]

Hey Jake,
That sucks about the video card... did you ended up fixing the problem, or is it only a temp fix?

I'm not sure where you cut out, but I know that Kit's computer's down too. She can only get online at work I think, and it won't let her get here. Hopefully that will work itself out sooner or later. Somber's away too, not sure if her labtop's acting up again, but we'll see. I'm sure they'll both be back as soon as they get a chance.

I havn't talked to Irish in a while, I'm not sure if he's still reading the boards... I hope so, but its hard to say.

Right now I think we've got three posts in the works, so it shouldn't be much longer before things start to pick up again. Now its just a matter of getting everyone into the same period of time...

On another note, I was thinking about when you and Somber leave for the Flurin lands, we should keep that departure a secret. Not make it common knowledge... else that information could leak, and well that's not good for anyone. Only the high up and most trusted of us (pretty much the PC party) are in on it, but not the soldiers. We'd have to keep up the illusion that she's still there, which will get harder as time goes with nobody seeing her.
The other option is we let everyone know, and that may sap moral, or it may boost it (depending on how the troops take the news) then we can worry about leaks.

I was also thinking about have a conversation post between Jake and Vaalic before you go. If your interested PM or email me and we can work something out.

As to where the thread is right now for most, we're about to be introduced to Senken. The problem here is this: We've got two dead guards and a wounded boy. We'll undoubtedly search for tracks and find none. Strange. Now Chris will want to know if his camp has been compromised, and if it has we have to move. We can't ever allow the Flurin to find where we are staying. The lack of tracks may suggest an internal struggle within (so we start looking at one another as suspects.) as you suggested earlier i think.

or Vaalic could jump to the conclusion that ShadowRune tracked them down. It has a similar style to his. Sneak in (possibly by the trees as Senken did) and slaughter. If Vaalic suggest this, Senken could play off that and adjust his story acordingly.
The next question if that was the case would be: would Shadow tell the Flurin we're here? Possibly, but his ego might get in the way of doing the practical thing. Vaalic would expect Shadow to attack him, Somber or the others before reporting back to the Flurin. Camp goes on alert and we all stay on edge.

That might give Vaalic another reason to go back to Freeport (one to find Aramis, and two to learn what he can about Shadow) he'll be heading back in a day or two. Probably the morning after tomorow.

Just a couple thoughts anyway. What do you guys think?

[Vaalic]

Hope the murder investigation works for everyone.
I'll leave it up to Senken to tell his story, if youd like. That might be easier that trying to do it third person, eh.

And I liked the idea for his story, though that may bring in a little skeptecism. Does anyone around here actually know Plato enough to give his story credibility, or would that only be on the Flurin side of it? Just wondering,

[Strife L. Leonhart]

Once again I am going to try to join this story and, hopefully, nothing vital will hender this process. For those of you who remember my character, Strife, I suggest that you take the time to read his Bio once again. He recently, today in fact, went through a drastic change in order to give his character more depth and personality. I do hope you all enjoy!
