The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Discussion: "A New Journey"

Name: Whitetail

Gender: Male

Species: Weasel

Age: 2 years

Personality: He is for most of the time rather calm and collected. When he hunts he tries to avoid greater risk.

Appearance: He is dark-brown with white underbelly and tip of tail, from which comes his name. He is a big (but not much bigger than average weasel) and strong.

Backstory: Whitetail's story isn't very different from the stories of other weasels. He was born as the strongest amongs his siblings and he had set out on his way before others did. The life on his own taught him to rely on himself and to be cautious...

Myrkin if you so choose, you may play Arvens if the need arises and he needs to do something for the story to move forward.

I was planning that our group will move up, after Cinankhen or Neltita had some feeling about what direction we should take, and march for awhile. Then Whitetail (weasel) would suddenly attack one of rabbits and injure him/her to slow down the others. Is this plan fine with you? Do you have other ideas?

Fine with me. But why will the weasel leave after wounding a rabbit?

I imagine that the rest of the rabbits will stand against weasel, so he will have only enough time to injure one rabbit. After that he will follow the group, expecting them to leave injured behind, so he/she won't slow them down. However, if they decide to march as fast as the wounded, then weasel will have easier job to keep up with them.

Good for you. :)

I think we should wait for GVG to post as Mayberry, then we can set direction and then we can start moving.

To continue the RPG I think there is one thing we need to settle. Rankin started to hop east in the last message posted. Does that mean that he is leaving the ditch or staying in it?
We did not determine which direction the ditch runs. Because it is an important element in the setting that would have to be considered in future events I think we need to know if they continue to travel along the ditch or if they are leaving it. Since events are likely to differ depending on whether they take place in the ditch or near it or somewhere else I think we need to know about that. What would you prefer?
I think that something can be done either way and am therefore fine with either decision you (everyone) opt for.
In any case I need to know about this before I can make my next post.

Well... I vote for leaving-the-ditch option, but if you choose otherwise I can adapt. ;)

Hey guys, everything going okay? I notice no one has posted after me. The rp isn't my top priority as well, but I'm just asking.  ;)

I'm glad that Whitetail attacked you then. ;)

And I hope others didn't lose interest in this RP even though sometimes there isn't many posts in it.

Well I have to apologize myself for the lack of activity. I have been lazy, honestly, interested in other things

There is no need to apologize. I've been lacking in activity too, so I understand how it is.
