Lady_Gwalia, we have a wee argument aboat whether the moon iz oat or nay. Az yer the creator o' thiz RP, we thought it bezt tae azk ye tae zettle it. Here are the argumentz fer each.

No moon is out:
- The first post to mention the moon stated that the moon was in the "New Moon" stage, and thus there was no moon.
- Lady Amber is using the same exact excuse as with the forum war thread, where she had said that she was in bloodwrath and could do anything she wants to do, only this time saying

...I say the moon should be out..........

Which is using the same exact same "I'm Lady Amber, and I can do anything I want!" attitude as before.

The Moon is out:
- Lady Amber says the moon should be out.
- HIAG said

The moon would have been out and shining magnificiently, but it had the fever and was restricted to staying in bed and reading Sherlock Holmes stories instead. Because of this night got fed up with waiting for the moon to come out, stopped slowly creeping up on the earth, took a running jump, and completely covered the earth in darkness.

which is utterly ridiculous and its stupidness is thus reason enough for the moon to be out.

[Tiria Wildlough]

I have a little question: who is going to kill Selah the Black? Because somebeast will have to...

[James Gryphon]

Oh, shut up. You're the one who posted something ridiculous

I'd like to request that nobody continue to use harsh language here. This problem can be solved without personal attacks on other members.

Likewise:

... is using the same exact excuse as with the forum war thread, where she had said that she was in bloodwrath and could do anything she wants to do

I'd prefer if we could keep hard feelings about past events out of this; anything anyone may have done in some other topic isn't the issue at hand. That topic you refer to, on the Off-Topic forum, was closed, and for good reason. Let's not have a continuation of that topic and its problems, all right? This goes for everyone; I'd prefer, as both a player and a moderator, not to let conflict drift in and ruin a promising RP like this one.

Now to the problem at hand:

(long quote from story)
...which is utterly ridiculous and its stupidness is thus reason enough for the moon to be out.

I think (as a player) that the main issue here is that the explanation of the moon's movements in the story isn't as clear as it would likely be in a Redwall story, and it takes a different tone than normal Redwall writing, with noncanon references to things such as "Sherlock Holmes" that don't exist in the universe we're writing here.

Because of that, I'd say that there might be a certain temptation to avoid making reference to it in later posts -- after all, there have been other times in other RPs when players have revised or outright ignored other players' contributions, simply because they were inconvenient for the story.

I have no way of knowing whether the second post was initially made with the awareness that the moon had been previously set in course in the previous post, so it isn't necessarily wrong that there was a contradictory post, though I'm not sure the first post should have been ignored when a protest came up. Barring Lady Gwalia's decisions, facts mentioned in earlier posts take precedence over later posts.

If we were going to go back and edit old posts, here's what I'd suggest myself: Maybe remove the reference to the moon shining in the second post, but also edit the first post that refers to the moon's current phase to make it more Redwall-themed.

In the end, this is Lady Gwalia's RP, and if we can't have an amicable agreement on this issue, she can resolve it... but I'm afraid for this story if she has to, because if our RPers can't resolve a simple thing like the moon's current phase, how can we possibly agree on something important later on?

[HeadInAnotherGalaxy]

Zae ha' many beaztz are goin' tae be in thiz group exactly?

[Lady_Gwalia]

I've been away for quite a bit and it seems my rp has run a little wild! When I left everyone was at the feast. What happened to waiting for the direction of the story? Please be patient, you've kind of rushed ahead in things. Also, no more characters please. We've got a full cast of character to have fun with, any more and it will get overwhelming.  Another thing, please be polite to one another. We're here to have fun. You can resolve a difference without being rude. If you need to discuss something please use this page not the rp page. Thank you.

[Lady_Gwalia]

Also, not to be rude or anything, I need people to stop giving directions. It's confusing the original story direction. I'm not going to point a finger at anyone in particular, I know more than one of you have done it. The story isn't running how I intended it to. Has anyone noticed a specific Redwall touch that's missing? What happened to warning from Martin? Riddles, anyone? That's one of the reason's I have Tey as a character, she's a historian, a scholar. They always need someone knowledgeable for the quests, but you lot ran off before we got there.  What needed to happen was this: Someone receives a dream/vision from Martin, they ask the Abbes about it, she sends them to the gate keeper and Tey. The dream needs to run along the lines of telling them about the queen, in a riddle, if someone wants to attempt it. Then a max of 10 characters should head out on the quest. Head in general direction of evil queen, and meet a couple dangers on the way. I should have told you all a more structured direction. But lets see if we can salvage this. Quest people: Please head back to the Abby, after all, you need vittles

[HeadInAnotherGalaxy]

Wot if they come upon the dibbunz an' the otter an' have tae take them back?

[Lady_Gwalia]

That would be a wonderful way to have them return. Thank you Who would like to have the dream from Martin?

[HeadInAnotherGalaxy]

Maybe when they return an' the Abezz comez out tae greet them zomebody zuddenly goez intae a trance and zayz the riddle?

[Lady_Gwalia]

Perfect

[DanielofRedwall]

It would be funny if it was a dibbun!

But I doubt it, I personally think Tey should have it, or maybe one of the travellers.

[Gonff]

Sorry, we did get out of control.  I think it will be good to have the traveling players come back and try this again.

Who is going to go into "the trance?" Will it be Tey who has it when the players come in? Maybe kinda like Sister Nasturtium did in Salamandastron?

One more question, do you want Trinn and Putley to go on the quest? It doesn't really matter to me.

Sorry if I got a little bit controlling well you were gone. I'm glad your back and I think it will go better this time.
