--------------------------Bloodlines III Final Details--------------------------

Hello All,

Here are a few final details for both players and crew about the event. Please
feel free to contact me if there is any additional information you require, our
contact details are listed at the bottom of this document.

There are still two player and several crew spaces avaliable.

We plan to meet up in the top car park of Shinning Cliff Woods, as with the last
Bloodlines event. Just go past the farmhouse rather than going down the rough
track to the usual YHA hostel car park, and follow the road around the woods.
Turn right at the T Junction and then take the next right turn. Carry on along
until you see the car park just off the road again to the right. This car park
is far more driving friendly!!!

Also due to very limited car parking space we would ask you to car share as much
as possible. The fewer cars you use the better also please ensure you do not
block any members of the public in.

Any problems finding it give me a bell on my mobile and I’ll talk you through it
(07774 957 298).

The event itself takes place in an area of natural woodland and as such there
are no facilities. It will be split into four chapters two on Saturday and two
on Sunday - with a break in between for food and toilet runs - most likely to
the nearest pub!!!

The Event is due to start at 10am on both Saturday and Sunday mornings and each
day will conclude by 6pm.

Players
You will need to bring all your costume and props including walking boots or
sensible footwear as well as any food and drink you might require during the
event.

Crew
You will need to bring basic costume including walking boots or sensible
footwear and any extra weapons you can spare. We will provide a basic lunch
(some ham/cheese rolls) but feel free to bring additional snacks and drink along
too!

If you plan to crew and haven’t contacted us as yet please let me know so I can
sort out some directed character parts and some lunch too!

This event is worth 20 Karma plus 20 Bloodlines Karma.

Update--------------------------

Bloodlines III Event Update

Continuing the search for the Alfar Codex, the party meet on Frontier in the
lands of the Boar tribe, also home to the estates of Dr Payne. As a long time
ally of Victor Von Dumas, Payne's estates are close to
Dr Molenov's mining operations and the Breed gather beneath the ground ready to
protect the mines and attack any who might attempt to prevent the ongoing search
for flangite.

The weather is unseasonably cold for the normally tropical shard of Frontier and
it soon begins to snow, heavy blizzards starting to sweep across the Shard.

Bastion arrives, demanding Elijah Snow give him a music box that he is carrying.

Ilona is kidnapped by the Breed and taken to Molenov.

One of Poseidon's daughters arrives having fled from Loki. She tells how he has
taken her seven sisters and she and Ilona are the only two who remain. Loki's
plan to use the sisters as blueprints for his
'sons' which he intends to use to replace them is now in its advanced stages.
Loki arrives and the party assist him in capturing her, then commence
negotiations to hand her over. Before negotiations can be
concluded, the sister is killed, putting her beyond Loki's immediate reach.

Payne had been captured by one of his former test subjects, Blackheart -
formerly the Lady Anastasia Lightheart of Salem. Blackheart has established
herself as the leader of the Animen and Beastmen of
Frontier by successfully leading a rebellion against Payne. United, they are
known as the Kindred. For her revenge, Blackheart injected Payne with all of the
serums she could lay her hands on, intending to watch him die.

In return for weapons to fight a newly arrived population of dwarves known as
the Bloodstone, Blackheart agrees to give the party access to Payne so he might
be questioned. Payne agrees to assist the party if they will take him to where
he has hidden the anti-serums. Before the serums are found, the transformation
completes and Payne, on the brink of insanity breaks free. He steals the
abilities of Callam, O'Brien, Rift and Bearach, then demands the party return
the mind control device to him. He is hunted down by Zeb and killed.

The Bloodstone are revealed as deep dwelling dwarves, who excel at elemental
control, particularly in the field of geomancy. They are ancient residents of
Frontier, who have stepped up their own mining
operations and are in the process of terraforming the shard back to the way it
was when they lived on the surface. The blizzards and unseasonable weather are
being caused by them. They appear to have a
particular objection to Finnlay.

Papers, part of the Alfar Codex are found, but the Dragons of Faerie arrive and
demand they are given to them. The papers are duly handed over, but not before
they have been translated and memorised.

This extract appears to be part of a journal written by someone calling himself
'Adapa Nanna' which translates to Master of Time, or Lord of Time. Paynes
annotations suggest he was some sort of high or
arch mage. This mage, boasted in his writings of how he had sabotaged the
creation of the werewolves, indicating he was a traitor amongst the Alfar. Also
included in the text was a formula, which the author
implied was a cure for the werewolves’ condition (i.e. lycanthropy). From the
translated notes, it is clear this 'cure' was intended as a weapon against the
were's; it is only now, after the fall of the Grail that it might prove useful
in aiding them.

Ilona is returned and the party meet with Dr Molenov. Molenov agrees to cease
mining on Frontier and to terminate his employment with Von Dumas, instead he
and the Breed will work for Rift. He has a cane which grants him easy control
over the earth, given to him by Von Dumas. It is identified as one of several
Alfar items which may act as one if brought together. A book of Alfar writings
is taken from Molenov's library to be translated.

Thanks to Dr Jessica Goodfellow for the write up.

--------------------------Starting a Guild--------------------------

This is something that won't be happening until the ten-year gap, but I'm in the
midst of froth frenzy so I'm asking now.

1. Are there any rules/guidelines that all Whitewater guilds need to abide by or
is it just a free-for-all?

2. Will I be treading on anyones toes if I do start a Guild?

Hiya,

I don't know how helpful this is, but if you go and download google earth, then
get it to go to CF32 0LS, that is the post box as you drive down Methyr Mawr
road.  You then need to scan west and put your cursor at the centre of the
screen at 51 deg 28'57.38 North & 3 deg 37'20.95 West (numbers bottom left of
the display) - that is right on top of the tavern.  The tree coverage is quite
dense, but you can zoom in quite close while still getting good image quality.

Aha! This time i know it's him, Carol's Mind Testy thing? So that you're a

I have to say it's scary seeing him pop up all over the place, think he is

--------------------------Re: Starting a Guild--------------------------

Yep i think there are rules to setting up guilds, although after the ten year
gap i think you can get away with more. If its a guild within whitewater speak
to the various refs and play it though in game as that is the best way.

As for treading on toes it really depends what your planing to do. again most
stuff is already covered in whitewater but then thats just one city amongst
many. If you think you might course problems there do it on another shard and
everything should be cool. And then theres nothing stopping you moving into
whitewater if you wish... this might even be an interesting plot line..

Just my thoughts

--------------------------Re: Starting a Guild--------------------------

I would be planning it as a Whitewater Guild, and obviously I'd speak to the
refs first as I think it'd be a bit cheeky to turn up to an event and go "A-ha!
I've started a guild, and there's nothing you can do about it! :P"

As for what I'm planning... well, you guys would just have to wait and see, but
as far as I can tell there isn't anything even vaguely resembling what I want to
do around at the moment.

--------------------------Formatting Text--------------------------

No longer are you constrained to using just plain old boring text in your
posts....  It is now possible to format your text, to make it more interesting.

You can make text *bold*, /italic/, _underlined_, -struck-through-,
*highlighted*, [size=16]big[/size], [size=20]bigger[/size],
[size=36]huge[/size], [size=9]small[/size], [size=8]smaller[/size],
[size=6]teeny[/size], [sup]superscript[/sup], [sub]subscript[/sub],
[font=Sans-Serif]d[/font][font=Verdana]i[/font][font=Arial]f[/font][font=Serif]f\
[/font][font=Courier]e[/font][font=Courier
New]r[/font][font=Fantasy]e[/font][font=monospace]n[/font][font=Sans-Serif]t[/fo\
nt]
[font=Verdana]f[/font][font=Arial]o[/font][font=Serif]n[/font][font=Courier]t[/f\
ont][font=monospace]s[/font],
[color=#ff0000]d[/color][color=#009900]i[/color][color=#ff9900]f[/color][color=#\
000066]f[/color][color=#ff6666]e[/color][color=#ff0099]r[/color][color=#000099]e\
[/color][color=#9966cc]n[/color][color=#00cccc]t [/color]
[color=#660000]c[/color][color=#33cc00]o[/color][color=#990033]l[/color][color=#\
33cc33]o[/color][color=#663366]u[/color][color=#993399]r[/color][color=#0000cc]s\
[/color],  or even **scrolling!
  ,** and more....

Text formatting is achieved by placing tags around the text you wish to format,
like so:
[code][tag]formatted text[/tag][/code]

Each tag is opened before the text to which it is to be applied, then closed
after the text using the same tag with a /.

More than one tag can be applied to a single piece of text - for example, text
can be made *[color=#006600]bold and coloured[/color]*, or */italic and
highlighted/*, or even _*[color=#ff0033]underlined, highlighted and
coloured[/color]*_.  When using multiple tags you must always close the tags in
the same order that they are opened, similar to brackets.  So for example,
{[(]}) is incorrect while {[()]} is correct.  Similarly:
[code][tag1][tag2][tag3]text[/tag2][/tag1][/tag3] - incorrect
[tag1][tag2][tag3]text[/tag3][/tag2][/tag1] - correct[/code]

Some tags can have modifiers - things which are put inside the first tag to give
more information.  For example, the font colour tag uses a modifier to specify
the colour, the url tag can have a modifier to specify the URL to link to, etc. 
For a list of commonly used tags and information about the modifiers they use,
see the end of this message.

Tags can be typed by hand, or, if you can't remember the tag you need, they can
be inserted using the buttons above the box where you type your message.  You
can either click on a button to insert tags at your cursor, in which case you
then type the text you wish to apply those tags to between them, or you can
highlight text and then click on a button to apply tags to the highlighted text.

There are more possibilities than have been explored here - if you want to
experiment the easiest way to do so, without filling the boards with random test
messages, is to preview your message rather than posting it - this will allow
you to see what it would look like without actually posting it to the forums.

--------------------------Linking URLs and Email
Addresses--------------------------

Just a quick reminder that you need to add code to URLs and email addresses to
make them into links.  This is very simple and easy to do, as follows:

To make an email address into a link, simply put
[code][/code] tags around it.

To make a URL into a link, simply put
[code][ur][/code] tags around it.

You can also use text other than the URL for a link - see the examples below.

If you can't remember the code you need, the buttons above the box where you
type your message will add them for you automatically.  Click on the appropriate
button and the necessary tags will be added at the cursor, or highlight text and
click the appropriate button to surround it with the necessary tags.   Links are
not the only possibility...
