OOC Info [OOC Thread] Moving with the Herd

[Haena]

Welcome, Kalmor! Good luck and have fun in Endrykas, it's a lovely place with lovely people.

Side note, I just wanted to say again, I'm sorry if anyone's waiting on me for replies. I'm getting there, slowly. O.O

[Jez Firetongue]

Hey guys ^^ So this came up in chat and it slipped my mind in rp before now. Do the Drykas use horse blankets?

[Azmere]

I wanted to share something with the group. It's something that gets overlooked quite a bit in regards to riding.

Competent horsemen learn how to gallop, use more body language to control horses, and start performing challenging feats like jumping an animal or wading it through deep waters. At this point, the rider learns to have a better seat, control their balance, and focus more on uniting with their horse. More spirited and frisky animals are suitable for riders at this stage.

Make sure you're playing your skills appropriately. Novice riders can trot and regardless of your weapon skill, you cannot use it from a horse when you can barely keep your butt in the yvas.

We're all guilty of overstepping from time to time but I've been seeing a trend of new players just jumping on a horse and taking off. The XP system is there for our benefit so we need to honor it.

*Steps down from soap box*

[Ramona Silvertongue]

Hey guys!! I'm happy to announce that I'll be playing Ramona in Endrykas. She's a Drykas, with an fairly tragic backstory. Currently, she's taking care of her brother Bhug, who is only 5 at the moment. I'm hoping to produce an NPC for Bhug soon, and I'll be posting a Pavillion request through the development thread of course.

For goals, I'm hoping for Ramona to improve her skills.
She's also been waiting for someone, a certain someone or someones who would be able to help Ramona take care of her repressive feelings about what had happened, if anyone decides to bring it up. other than her parents, she still is a very nice and friendly person. I'm hoping to get the ability to thread with all of you. Oh! Also, I've been planning on having Ramona be a part of the Watch as sometime in her life, her father had recommended her to the Watch.

Let me know if you guys want to thread, I promise I wont bite! I'll be also posting her registry of course.

[Quzon]

Hey, Ramona! Welcome unto the madness of horse dropping everywhere! While Quzon isn't in Endrykas during the end of the season, I'm always open for training thread near the start and middle of the season.

Likewise, to everyone else. I know Job threads can be tedious, so if you just want to have someone to help you move things along. I'd feel free to have Q thread with your PCs. I promise at least 3 solid paragraphs and to post until you reach that ever tedious word count.

On the flip side, I'll be working on posts for people who I owe them too. If I've forgotten to post to you for a while, just nudge me.

Also, duly noted Az. Will keep an eye on still making Q a horrible rider.

Hey gang,

My second son was born Wednesday morning. After taking some time to adjust, I should be back to posting in a day or two. Thank you for your patience.

[Ashka Windrunner]

Congrats Az, happy for you !
Take your time and enjoy the moment

On a different note, for those of you peeps who want to watch the Triathlon, I made an open thread here. Feel free to join, or even place-holder it for a few days if you're not sure of when to get an answer in.

[Ramona Silvertongue]

Thanks Quzon!

@Azmere: Congratulations I hope all goes well for you.

@Ashka: I might be able to post, maybe depending on the activity of the thread I could possibly get in a post during the middle of the week this coming week, yeah? Would that be okay?

[Ashka Windrunner]

It's all good as long as you get it before the end of the season, because Timestamping. Next week is totally fine !

[Turrin]

I wanted to let everyone know that I will respond to our threads soon. I had a major life change with my switching​ shifts from 3rd to 2nd, so I kind of lost my creativity. Anyways I will respond to our threads in the near future.
