[Sweeney Todd]

Actually in hindsight in my previous post I seem to be implying that his spelling is absolutely atrocious. I apologize for that. The reason I mentioned his spelling is that I find his typos to be odd. I seldom see spelling errors like those.

I think I speak for most people when I say that many spelling/grammar/punctuation errors make people want to read your post less, though.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Sweeney is correct that punctuation and grammar is important, though of course we take into account that everyone does not write in the same way / at the same level, nor is English everyone's first language. I would like to note though that most browsers have an inbuilt spellchecker option now.

Malatith the bloody - don't feel stupid. Everyone makes mistakes or doesn't understand, especially when it comes to new things. We are not putting you down, just trying to help you. Your stats look fine for a 4th gen now. As mentioned the easiest way to get him involved is to have heard that something has happened at Drakenhof and turn up to find out what is going on.

 

[Trevy the Great]

Sweeney is correct that punctuation and grammar is important.

Absolutely.
I hate to put it so brutally bluntly, but I really find it hard to take a character seriously if they're post is severely lacking in grammar. Little things like quotation marks and dropping a line when someone speaks really take away from the post as a whole. The writing doesn't have to be good, nor the spelling perfect, but some things just jar me unpleasantly.

Hey guys, check it out! I posted again!
This might become a habit or something. How weird is that!?

Malatith: Heh, Bartender Armor. That makes me laugh.

 

[Ghouly]

Hay DoN I'm still waiting on you

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

So where is Vekky (in character) going then?

@ Ghouly I have posted now.

 

[Count Darvaleth]

I was wondering if anyone plays as Nagash and his various minions? Or are they going to be NPCs? (Or controlled by an overall overlord, or something.) Because, the FINAL BATTLE is going to need a heck amount of organising, with everyone practically involved. Pretty much everyone.


He he I can see the fearful expression in you big-wigs' eyes! (Ie: Mods and Supreme Mods and Almighty Mods. Oh yeah, and DoN. )

 

[Ghouly]

Hay where did my post go

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Darvaleth don't worry - I have been running this since the start, the final battle is already partly planned.

 

[Knightofni]

I liked the 'partly' bit...

Has anyone had any contact with Get of W'soran recently?... he's been gone for two months

 

[Count Darvaleth]

Darvaleth don't worry - I have been running this since the start, the final battle is already partly planned.

He he he.

 

[Malatith the bloody]

Thanks for sticking up for me, yer spelling has never been my strong point

 

[Mr Nightwere]

"If this animal is a member of the Council. Then it would seem that the Council has already taken action against me." replied Vlad softly.

Looking over to Lesa he continued "If you are truly serious about an alliance against Nagash then have your pet apologize for his insult. Show me that you are not going to spoil the only chance of survival either of us have."

Lesa Arches eyebrow and say's "O no you didn't!"

[Order of the Blood Dragon]

mmhmmm, then snaps her fingers three times in a zig zag.

 

[Count Darvaleth]

Then her skin somehow turns black and her attire transforms to a somewhat more ... informal tone.

EDIT: And this is on topic ... because?

EDIT2: Yes sir, you sure are, and you sure did!

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Because I'm the boss and I said it is

Now is anyone else going to post in the thread?

 

[Knightofni]

Well I would, but I'm finding it hard to find a reason for my characters to engage in the current proceedings... Saul would much rather stand behind you all and make obscene hand gestures at you behind your backs.

And if I find the time tomorrow then I'll post again in chapter 50... that ones going slower than chapter 47 was...

 

[Order of the Blood Dragon]

Yeah my guys kind of insignificant so he'll just watch the events right now, I suppose I could let everyone know what he's thinking...

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Yes even thinking is fine, but ideally if people can post it is so much better.

Btw the Ghouly I was quite impressed with Graveclaw’s response – it was actually quite coherent and valid!

Simon – I am interested as to how this is going to work out. Vlad cannot expect the Council to bow down before him, and they do actually have the right to express that they don’t particularly like him. As long as they agree to work together and hold faithfully to their alliance then there is little more Vlad can ask of them.

 

[Simon von Carstein]

Vlad hasn't actually demanded they serve him. He's demanded that they put aside their anger and work with him. But everyone is acting like he's trying to take over.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

It is the way he is addressing them. Like you state he is demanding, like when he said "blah blah..Now!". The other vampires see themselves as equal, and as such would not stand being talked down to like that.

Put in this way, if a member of the Council came to Simon and said he must put aside all his dislike for Graveclaw etc, but they did it in a way that was commanding (You will do this. Now!), I would very well imagine Simon would tell them to get stuffed and it would be the right reaction.

However if somone approached Simon, and requested it, it a diplomatic way as possible, showing respect, well then who knows?

It is not necessarily his motives, but the way he is presenting them and himself.

 

[Simon von Carstein]

You have to remember that Vlad comes from a different time. In his day there was no such thing as a democracy and the last Strigoi vampires he encountered he killed. Now a great hulking beast like Graveclaw has come along and just spat at him. He's not going to take that lying down as he would risk losing the respect of his family and whats worse is that the Council have openly said that Graveclaw is one of them and they have done nothing to stop Graveclaw or even tell him off for jeapardising the negotiations. Which if their really serious they should have done.

We now have two choices. We can delete everything we've from that point and start over or we can come up with a way to solve the problem which enables both sides to save face.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Well I really woudn't want to delete, as we have never done so before without a really good reason......any suggestions?

 

[Ghouly]

Graveclaw tossed his bait Vlad didn't take it so he's gonna be quite now

 

[Sweeney Todd]

How about I have Todd step in and apologize a bit?
