Faction Meeting::Eboncoin- 24 March 10pm GMT

[Poltergeist]

24 March - 10 pm GMT [3 pm Pacific, 5 pm Central, 6 pm Eastern]
The Eboncoin Pact and friends
When new meetings are scheduled the above text and thread topic will be updated, and the thread bumped.


There are big changes afoot! and player input is extremely important to those changes. Come to the meeting in game at the posted time and discuss your ideas for the faction. How does it operate, how cohesive are the members, what goals do you have and how can your faction help you accomplish those goals?

I will be hosting a completely out of character discussion discuss that is open to any players with characters in the above listed factions. You may bring one guest.

This will be a moderated discussion, with intermittent controlled chaos. I will be revealing fractions of current DM/Dev plans as they relate to the faction and discussion, and offer suggestions and insight into ideas that players come up with. Everyone will be free to propose any idea, voice any concern, or say anything that is constructive to the discussion. I will not hesitate to say no to ideas that are infeasible or impossible. I will mark out ideas that mesh with current DM plans, even if I don't reveal the specifics of a plan. In short, I'll be there to act as a sounding board for whatever plans you might have, before you go to all the trouble of working on them.

It is possible, though unlikely, that the scheduled time/date may be shifted. It all depends on the availability of the players. If you can not make it, let me know. You can PM me your thoughts and I'll present them to the group on your behalf.

Meetings for other factions will be hosted as time allows. My current hope is for at least one meeting a week. Once all factions have had a meeting, the DM Team will go over details of the meetings, and we'll have a faction summit, details to be announced.

What to bring

• Good attitude
• List of what your character wants, and what they can offer (time, leadership, crafting, skills, etc)
• An idea for where you would like to see the faction go
• Ideas to improve the faction
• Ideas how to make your faction more fun for others in the faction.
• What sort of flavor, or theme the items in your faction store should have.
• Quest ideas. For both one shot faction join quests, and repeatable quests for rep or money.
• A sack lunch.

Outstanding! I too will send a PM.

[Fezzik]

Bree has to entertain a pack of dwarves??? Time to research the dwarven dirges.

[kuscotopia]

Cool! I will do my best to be there!

[Lugwy]

Can't be there on time due to work, so I'll send my regards (and a PM).

[Clangeddin]

I'll try to be there. =)

[Intrepid42]

Sadly I too will be at work.

I submit the follow song about rocks

Western shore to forests creep
Mountain peak to darkest deep

The Anauroch was verdant green
And Halls were lit by mithrals gleam

The World is stone

By Keepers writ we dwell by right
His children work through Surface night

His realm is carved by dwarven hand
And Delzoun is born with columns grand

The World is stone
And Dwarven home

The dwarves grew strong and made the depth
But in the chasms old foes crept

Gauntlgrym and deep holds fell
With remnants as the Hidden dwell

The World is stone
And Dwarven home
Delzoun is lost
Its peoples roam

The surface holds endure the fall
Adbar, Sundabar, bright Mithral Hall

An Age of Struggle comes to pass
Until the Age of Thunder past

His lesson learnt
His children strong
The dwarves no more need suffer wrong

The World is stone
And Dwarven home
We are Delzoun
It shall return

Delzoun's Lament, by Thrar Stouthammer

[Envy]

Targus will be there. I am going to try and leave work a bit early but at the latest I should be on 4:15-4:30 (Central).

[kuscotopia]

Rurik will be there.

[Laconia]

Kaldor cannot make it ((will be too late my time zone)).

I will try and send a PM with some ideas.

[kuscotopia]

Well bugger...my free time wasn't as certain as I thought.

I will likely not be able to make it. I will also send a PM with my thoughts as well.

Can someone keep minutes and share them with the faction?

[Doubtful]

Sorry folks, I had planned on attending this as well, but I got hit by a car while on a pedestrian crossing, going to be enjoying hospital comforts for a couple of days instead! Sorry!

[ManUtd4Ever]

going to be enjoying hospital comforts for a couple of days instead! Sorry!

Get well... and then sue!

Wishing well.


I’ll try to make it ingame for the meeting. A brief summary response to the information request is provided below:

1. List of what your character wants, and what they can offer (time, leadership, crafting, skills, etc)
a. Raena wants the forests free of foul monsters.
b. Raena wants to explore the realm in the company of others.
c. Raena can offer various survival services such as tracking, scouting, and guiding opportunities.
d. Raena can offer a bit of light-heartedness to counter a bit of the harsh realities that realm presents.

2. An idea for where you would like to see the faction go
a. Continue to help shape the realm (and PW) through organized and mutually advantageous efforts.

3. Ideas to improve the faction
a. Provide a forum sticky on the faction page that details the known faction leaders (including character name, character faction rank, and player name) when appropriate.
b. Schedule regular faction meetings (maybe at least twice per RL month) and announce the meeting time and location on faction forums.

4. Ideas how to make your faction more fun for others in the faction.
a. Increased interaction amongst faction members and non-faction members.
b. Increased jobs and duties doled out from PC faction senior leaders.

5. What sort of flavor, or theme the items in your faction store should have.
a. Not sure what to add to the current warrior gear and consumables in the Exigo and BC. Perhaps, a 1 stag scroll in the store that OOC explains how a faction weapon may be requested.

6. Quest ideas. For both one shot faction join quests, and repeatable quests for rep or money.
a. Provide guard duty at a specified location for a set time (maybe around a RL hour). Consider several locations that have a relatively high PC throughput such as Exigo Post, Port Av, Exigo by Shar Hills, Ixis Isle Beach, and others.
b. Duty quests that require you and one or more additional faction associates to do something together (in the same party).
b. Contract quests that require you and one or more additional non-faction associates to do something together (in the same party).
