OOC

Proposal:

We have one dead Ranger, one wounded Ranger, and two wounded footmen. Leaves us 36 mercs plus 3 Lieutenants.

Four 2-hour night watch shifts. Three of the four shifts, there will be a Lieutenant on duty with nine mercs. The fourth shift, there's just the nine mercs so we need a PC to help out.

Telemachus would like to skip night watch so he can get a full night's sleep and recover his spent Sleep spell.

[shaidar]

Newton needs his sleep to cover his CLW spell

[shaidar]

so we need a flat 8 hours min sleep to get any spells back?

[thirdkingdom]

Yup.

[shaidar]

just checking.

that be fun with 3 of the 5 of us being spellcasters. Thank goodness for retainers.

[VonAlric]

Gardo will do a round with the watch.

[Pulpatoon]

Aldus and Wulka can take a round of watch, too, although we also have all these mercs who can do this sort of duty.

Regarding formatting: I know thirdkingdom prefers grammatical indication of dialog over the use of font color. I'm in the habit of using both. Is this okay? Or do you actively not want us to use font colors (I believe some people have legibility issues with them)?

I find the colored text difficult to read. However, this is not a hill I'm willing to die on. I understand I'm in the minority.

[shaidar]

oops, I missed that, sorry. I shall henceforth refrain from using color for dialogue.

I'll do my best to remember, but I'm sure I'll slip up now and again!

[VonAlric]

It honestly depends on how I see the GM and other players do things. If anything, I would try to color only inner thoughts (not something that Gardo is going to do often) and leave the rest as it.

[thirdkingdom]

If you guys are going to hunt bees let me know how you're going to go about it. The bees seemed to come from the south (i.e. not from the hex you've started to explore).

[sulldawga]

I'd rather finish sweeping the first hex. The bees can wait another day or two.

[VonAlric]

Gotcha. Finish up with the subhexes in the hex north of the road. So we would be hitting 0306,0407,0506,0607, & 0706 and above, correct?

Essentially, yes, unless you want to propose a different order, but typically I'm going to assume you sweep back and forth across a hex.

[Pulpatoon]

Okey-doke.

[sulldawga]

Wait a second. You guys are agreeing with me in OOC and disagreeing in IC. Which hex are we doing next?

[shaidar]

I'm happy either way, hunting bees or not.

[Pulpatoon]

I don't think anybody was disagreeing with you. We proposed a course of action, and you proposed a different course of action. Apparently none of us felt strongly about our stated position, so we were happy to go along with yours, should you feel more strongly about it.

Which is not to say that I'm incapable of ooc'ing disagreeing with my character's ic plans.

The problem is, though, that it's realy difficult for me, as GM, to parse what the intended course of action to be. I *want* you guys to feel strongly about your proposed actions, to *have* an opinion on what you want to do, and to reach a consensus on that course of action, or at least a majority. I *think* you've decided to ignore the bees for now, but am not positive.
