Title: [Old] Conditions of Passage Post by: A.J. Barlowe on July 19, 2011, 04:29:31 PM This thread is for people who plan to come to Gilneas but won't be joining the Blackwald Partisans.
You must be aware: getting out of Gilneas isn't easy. If it were easy, we'd all feel pretty silly, and therefore we're making sure it's not easy. So if you plan to take a wee holiday up here, you need to have a plausible way of getting back - and our standards as to what is 'plausible' are rather high, both because we prefer a certain amount of realism in RP, and by virtue of the dire situation we have outlined in the Campaign Thread (http://blackwaldpartisans.thebloodknights.com/index.php?topic=222.0). If you aren't prepared to stay in Gilneas a long time, you shouldn't come. It's that simple. We may try to find reasonable ways for people to get home, and we may grudgingly accept methods we find implausible rather than simply ignore people, but we would much prefer to try and keep things on the level. Moreover, we'd like to retain an economy of departures: if there are many people that want to get back home, we think it better they all go home at once via one method, rather than there being four different ways out of Gilneas that the Partisans themselves haven't considered or can't use. My apologies if this seems harsh, but it's simply a way of protecting our roleplay. The basic rule is: if your method of getting home would invalidate our isolation or the methods we already use, we'd rather you found another one. One character flew into Gilneas on a gryphon. We didn't think much of this, so we ate it. Beware our wrath! If you plan to come to Gilneas but NOT to join the guild, post here. You can post representing a group of people as long as they all plan to go back together. Make sure you use the form below: Quote Name: e.g. John Barlowe, 'Doctor Dead' ((in-game: Barlowe)) Character summary: Exiled republican, manic physician Plan to stay: One month approx. Get here by: Parachuting from a hired Gnomish gyroplane. Leave by: Hitching a lift on a supply drop. We already have one method of departure: Sye's regular supply planes can take one or two people back at a time. These are the preferred method of leaving as they are already established, though it is of course limited in the numbers it can serve. We're okay with magical portals and suchlike as long as they don't happen too often and they require some effort to actually create (e.g. gathering difficult reagents or organising a special ritual). |
