Sorry about the late response, must have missed this.
Anyways, I'm not sure we came to a conclusion. However, I'm still of the opinion that it would be best to, just this once, ignore canon and pretend there is a crossing between said regions. If I recall correctly, MM agreed, while Bobby didn't like the option, but admitted it may be the best choice. What do you think?
NP
I think that for the sake of getting the RP started I will just post it as being crossable. We could argue it later
Also, should we make a 'Creating New HQs and Topics' topic to keep those suggestions seperate from rules and other discussions. I don't expect there to be any, but there is a chance.
That sounds fine. Unless someone has a serious (and reasonable) disagreement within the next couple days, let's just go with that.
I'm not entirely sure that would be necessary, since we probably won't want to create many regions outside of large expansions, which will be discussed here. But I suppose we can vote on it.
The day of prosperity makes one forget adversity; The day of adversity makes one forget prosperity.
We've posted most of the necessary topics, and most of the rules have been ironed out. So I think we should be ready to start within the next week or so!
Before we do, however, I'd like to make sure everyone's here, or at least all the HQ leaders. So, if you see this post, please either respond or kudo it, so that I know you're here and ready to roll.
Based on previous experience, the first few days will greatly influence the playing field for the rest of the RP, so I'd recommend staying up-to-date and on your toes!
If no one else has a problem with it we could allow you some advance moves and you could ask a mod to approve them the day they should be enacted We would know that you posted therethough, but not what.
The problem with advance moves is that they're inflexible. If good does a surprise move, he needs to be able to change it. Personally, I'd recommend just giving Diggs some orders, and being as active as possible.
EE is right. I think I would probably just prefer maybe starting this weekend (since thats when I'm the least busy). And let dig have control of Umbar for a few days. Since he is an experienced RPer.

OK, whatever you want, I just came up with that off the top of my head

Hey guys, sorry about my inactivity over the past couple days, I had a busy weekend. Once Goat posts the Rohan HQ, and a couple other regions get posted, I think we're OK to get started. Also, I'll get around to responding to everything that needs responding to later today.

Sorry I was gone for so long, everyone! I'm back now, though, and should be staying pretty active. Alright, so, what changes have been made? Other than the fact that we now have a subforum. Also, I plan on posting the Rohan HQ ASAP and getting into the Rp-ing as soon as we start, so if some of you could help me with the geography that'd be great.

Well, it borders Aglarond and Eastfold for a start, as well as East Emnet. Don't quote me on that though

Hey Goat, glad to see you here. Most of the regions have been posted, not much else.
Awesome! For the geography, see MLB's post, which is accurate.

If you are posting an HQ, feel free to do so immediately. Osgiliath and Pelargir may also be posted right away. If you would like to post a region without a name next to it, just say so, and check with us on which regions border it.
Just went ahead and posted a bunch of regions, so I updated this list. Still waiting on a few more topics, otherwise we're mostly ready.
Updated again. I took the liberty of posting Eastfold, and will post the Crossings of Poros in a minute. MLB, go ahead and post your remaining two, since it sounds like we're just going to bend canon slightly for that. Make sure that gets noted in the opening post.
Everyone else, if you have a region to post, please go ahead and do it now.

Sorry I forgot about my reagon I don't have time to do it tonight. But I should be able to post it tomorrow.
Kidding, ofc. Yes, we should be starting very soon. I'm going to post Pelargir and Osgiliath (haven't seen Mace in forever), and I'm assuming MLB will post East Emnet/Emyn Muil soon.
So, unless someone has a serious objection, I think we can start this weekend! When we're ready, I'll make a post declaring our official start. At that point, everyone is free to begin moving troops, claiming, battling, and all the stuff you've been waiting to do.

Do you think it will be Saturday or Sunday?
And do we start with fleets?
Sunday, I'd say. One more day to get everything ready.
Ah, good question. I'd say yes, since it would put the more naval-focused HQs at a disadvantage to not start with 'em. Maybe just post a list of ships that you're starting with at your HQ, so that it can be checked.
Ofc, that's just my thought; if someone else has a serious objection, I'm all ears.

I just realised I'm off school next week
Fair enough, as long as it's only naval focused HQs starting with fleets. And probably not incredibly strong fleets either.
