Quote from: Xenon;371182gregory status- stressed out by RL, will try to post again soon. also, was somewhat confused by trump regarding timeline, which slowed me down a bit.

Okay, me bad. And I know how RL can be

The horserace and exhibition flashbacks don't seem to have ignited much interest thus far :hmm:

Thanks for the reminder

I'm considering having Elaine participate in both, but I need to check the timeline first.
@Jibbajibba: If I've got the timeline correct, Elaine would have been born just a few years prior to the exhibition (since she would have been about 6yrs old when she left amber with her mother). Correct?

No I think she left a bit later, although there is plently of space for long absences.

As far as the timeline works in my head and its entirely possible that I totally haven't tol this to anyone else. The Treaty of Antiqua lasted for 100 years which means that Oberon and Oriana were married for close to that length of time. Now Oberon was certainly unfaithful in that time as Whis'par was sired in the same timeframe, but my possibly never disclosed timeframe

, could mean Elaine stayed in amber until she was close 80. Of course its equally possible that Oriana took extended vacations to the Courts whcih has a 5x Amber timeline so a year absence from Amber gives Elaine ample opportunity to train in Chaos. Likewise there is mo reason one she is past 20 Elain coudl have opted to absent herself, indeed its possible that Elian coudl have been fostered out to a kindly (and possibly eyeless) auntie for a few years....

Ok ... I'll make a quick minor adjustment to the timeline in my head, but that sounds fine. That means Elaine will definitely be participating in the Flashback events.

@jibbajibba: If you could glance over Elaine's Timeline and check that it is consistent with your mental timeline.

That timeline is great

Just to say i got a bit behind with posting. My Boss was over from the states and got stuck due to the volcano...how unlikely is that ....

Anyway I just caught up on all posts apologies for any frustration.

@jibbajibba: regarding the Flashback horserace - how were you intending to progress through it? A series of segments, description first, followed by each participate posting something? Or something else entirely?

Sorry guys work has been hectic especially at work as I am plannig to move out to India for a year and just sorting stuff out .
All threads now caught up.
Worried that Boulet hasn't posted for a while which is really bad as Degion has been a great PC. Email me mate and I can resolve any issues you have.

Without giving away the context I just wanted to highlight this line from Tristram as one of the best lines in the game so far

... In short, no, that would not be enough and at the same time it would be altogether far too much ...

That captures the spirit of Amber right there.

Well I personally think we should all be thanking jibbajibba for putting in so much time and work to run this campaign, and giving us the opportunity to develop our characters and interactions, to such a level that their personalities can really shine through.

Great job mate - really enjoying the game!
