Jack Roberts Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Thanks Capt'n. I will feel better "bumping" into someone now. QUOTE (John_Flint @ Sep 10 2006, 04:53 PM)I would like to join in on this, but I don't know how... Yes, I agree with Silkie and Ransom, first you need to read and catch up... you need to know the background because if you jump in and just try to change everything around, it's not going to flow...so you need to do some "homework"... currently we are waiting on Sir Henry to get freed up from work to get the attack on Portbello rolling... so we are still in port and we kind of have a "soap opera" going on, but we are still trying to keep it period correct and so far it seems to be working, after all, life went on even back then... wink.gif So read, figure out what your character would have been back then, brush up on some history if need be... and jump in... like twas mentioned, anyone could sail in at any time...if you wish to become an Island dweller... maybe you have just gotten feed up with all that's been happening and now you want to get involved ... Definity agree with the Capt'n on this one. I started reading the beginning and spent a good 3 or 4 days catching up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Sterling Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 Glad to be of help "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell...

Aurore Devareaux Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I can only speak for myself, so here goes. I'm sure there is some PMing between players—I've done a bit, but it wasn't about plot—but most often it seems to be more a matter of "roll with it." It's kinda left up to each person as to how they want to get involved. You can put yourself in someone's path, pretend to know someone from before they arrived at Port Royal, stumble onto something, etc. It took me awhile to decide how I wanted to interact with the others, then before I could decide, I got shanghied into a tavern brawl! That was fun. Best advice I can give is, as this is my first time at role-playing, watch the story line, see where you might fit in. Then dive in, the water's fine. BTW, there is a character bio joint thead for Port Royal you might want to check out, which will give you backgrounds on some of the characters being played. See you in PR soon! The more the merrier. I should have my Bio's up within the next couple of days which should be of some aid. Steady the course, mes amies....

Ransom Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 This is to let my fellow Port Royals know I'll be out of town until late Monday, so won't be able to post until probably Tuesday.

I have found myself going without food or sleep for days, 'cause the story sort of swept past me! Maybe we should elect an official "New Day" keeper. :) ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

With the weekend and some of our numbers away for its' duration, I cannot foresee any great advancements made until the fold regains its' balance.

Reginald Killingsworth Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 (OCC) Well, I guess I was asking for it, wasn't I?" It looks like I have met my match upon the Port Royal thread, due to the hand of my lovely but cunning cousin Tess St. Claire. So I will bid you all a sweet farewell, at least for a little while. Due to my work restrictions and home life, I need to step away for a bit...and Lady Tess has helped me do so. But fear not, I will return...perhaps not as Reggie Killingsworth, but perhaps another character...who knows, maybe Killingsworth has an evil twin brother lurking out there somewhere. Best of luck to you all and thank you for making it such a splendid time! Allow me to be frank at the commencement; You will not like me...™ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Sterling Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 Oi and since when was I "engaged" to Tess St. Claire.... now if that was my father's idea, perhaps... but otherwise, I think I would know that.....
