OOC:Questions and comments
Here you can ask about any questions or concerns you might have about anything involving the Purple Guard.
I am sorry Ulder... it has been a hectic week.
I wonder if you and Valsert couldn't have a side thread for sparring together? Would give you both something to do between mod posts? I am not sure what timestamp Valsert is on.
And yes, we need more PGs.

aye.. that would be fun.
i have a good bit to learn in reguards to puting my mental combat thoughts into words that will be understood correctly.
um.. that and figureing out exactly what is acceptable in combat, for a player to DO... do i attempt to hack his head off.. or do i send an upward arc in the hopes of severing said limb
not sure of the time frame tho... or how it might take away from any current plans.

If you read through my "Pursuing the Goal" thread, I'd say that my session with Zimphander was a fairly typical fight sequence. It may be a little higher level than normal because it's obvious that both & I Hoppy know a thing or 2 about actually fighting with a sword, but that should give you the gist of how it should work, look and / or feel.
From what I was told, and the way I've always played, you never assume the outcome of your actions, unless they are mundane. You can choose to walk across the floor to speak with someone at the bar, and you can choose if you'd like your character to trip on the way or not, but drawing your sword and actually striking them is up to the Mods. You can always try to do it, but the Mods will decide if you are successful.
Don't worry about sparring. If you'd like to do it, I'd be happy to, but I have stuff to do IC if it doesn't work out. If you want to wait on it, that's fine with me.
Just my $.02. Hope it helps.

aye.. yes.. well, i have done a good bit of arms combat.... altho i have never gone to any of the national / regional events. I spar with a local group that frequents them.
its alot of fun but heh fighting in real life, and puting down in words that everyone will understand are two very diffrent things. i have read thru most of your posts tho, and i think it will help. i guess attention to detail is the key factor.

Perhaps a quick PM or an email to him and Hoppy would be in order? (If you haven't already done so...)
It has been strangely quiet around here. They (the Mods) must be getting ready for some big stuff!

As you might have noticed, Hoppy seems to be MIA....
I hope you don't mind me droping in every now and then, and please feel free to throw all your questions and comments may way

dear people,
It is with great delight that we announce that Twilight and Taleweaver will be headmodding the Citadel as a team.
Our thanks go to Guen for taking this post for so long, and reorganizing the area before her well deserved hiatus.
Congratulations to all!

Question to the mods: How come I've seen every one of the mods of the Purple Guard forum on atleast 2-3 times now, and no one has posted anything in this forum? Have we been forgotten?
I know it seems like I'm impatient, and I have to admit, I am just a bit. I'm truly very excited to get my character started on becoming a PG, but I'm not sure the mods even know my character exists.

I think you have to be a little patient, three days is not really very much, but you could PM the headmaster of the PG barracks. Try either folderol or Taleweaver. So far you have done everything correctly; I guess they must have overlooked you or maybe creating a great plot for you...
Good luck!

Hey Blaine,
After you get through and picked up by one of the Mods, PM or email me and you and I can start a thread of our own to RP your first day in the barracks, or something similar. That way you can be RP'ing your Guard trials with the Mods and have a separate thread that won't need quite so much Mod attention at the same time. That should help get you going and help get you involved much faster.

No apology necessary, Blaine. We advise in the rules that if you've not received a reply for 3 days, that you should contact the mods for we do get busy and folks do get overlooked. This is especially true on this board where we can simply click on "View all posts since you last visit" rather than drilling down into each forum to read.
Also, as you've heard, Citadel is in the process of a changing of the guards as it were and so things are a bit hectic as the new head mods settle in. As for the Purple Guard, Folderol is only able to post weekends and while Jadmai has been running Ulder's PG thread, he is focused on rebuilding Gulanadur for the reopening of that forum next month.
We do apologize for the oversight Blaine, are happy to see it's been resolved and hope you enjoy your time in Tazlure.
Oh yes.. and do take Ulder up on his offer. PG threads tend to go... slowly and if you can find another player to interact with, it will give you more posting opportunities.
