How about that FQ?

[Taskmienster]

We can get that up there and done... I'll just need to consolidate what's going on with everyone's storylines.

[Cyrus the virus]

Sure sure, I figure now's the best time for something like that since this round will be closing up.

I would be more compelled to get in on the next chapter if I was certain Alerar would be involved. I love that region, but I would definitely need to know more about the Dark Elves' intentions. I know that there's a rumor (IC & OOC), but the managers of the forums have claimed Alerar's going to be in the 'next chapter' since chapter one.

[Taskmienster]

Alerar will definitely be involved in the 4th and 5th chapters.

4th Chapter Involvement:

Alerar, Salvar, Raiaera, possibly Corone.

5th Chapter Involvement:

Alerar, Raiaera, possibly Fallien and Corone.

Then you can count me in! I guess I need to hurry up and finish my solo in Alerar and get it judged. That way I'll be able to get the things I need before the next chapter starts. Do you have an estimated time for when the next chapter begins?

[Taskmienster]

This chapter is going to end on July 31st. The next one would begin on August 7th.

However, unless there is expressed interest in the FQ continuing that chapter and the following one may not happen at all.

[Sabatykos Maelstrom]

I'm definitely game for both of my characters. I wanna get an MQ going with my Main. So I will talk to you about that on AIM.

[Damion Shargath]

I'm coming. Something one or the other should take into consideration...

[oblueknighto]

I might join if it's going to start on the 7th.

The Featured Quest is one of the better ideas Althanas has had in a long time, but I've never been involved in it for several reasons:

1) Epic scope - Until recently, my characters would best fit into the Featured Quest as someone being trampled by an oncoming horde. I realize this can make a good story, but it didn't much appeal to me as an idea.

2) Sporadic Activity - I'm here and gone

3) Interactivity - I always liked the FQ's idea but it seemed half-executed. Finally an epic storyline for Althanas with things playing out and good writers actually focused on the goings on. Unfortunately, it's still that sort of maybe-it-happened-maybe-it-didn't situation. Multiple groups doing the same thing, individual players still controlling npcs, and so forth. I realize this is unavoidable, by and large, but it was still a consideration, albeit the least of them.

I have until the 10th at my current place of employment and I suspect the next one will be significantly less stressful and time consuming. To that end, I'm going to take a look at the thing and see if there's some way of working around my concerns.

In all honesty though, I tend to write the epic events side rather than the character reactions. Most of my roleplaying outside of Althanas is as a DM or Storyteller. That's partly the reason I play here, but at the same time it goes somewhat against my nature. That's why I tend to write solos, so that I am free to control the world and the larger events of it...
