Well, things seem to be picking up in FA, finally
But yes, the storyline between the Sorcerers and Animists has been great to be a part of (As much as the time difference allows *Sulks* ). I understand Mailen will be posting her version of events as soon as she's able... *Pokes Mailen* No getting out of it now
The only thing is, it really needs
*everyone* to pitch in - they can only keep one storyline going so long, so hopefully everyone will try to come up with something and give it a go

Doesn't have to be as large-scale as the Eltrax/Cylanthia affair (attention seekers, I dunno

) and of course, there's always the option of getting involved in someone else's plot. To be honest, I've found it a darnsight more fun being involved in a
*story*, rather than just logging in, recruiting men, bashing, questing, logging off. Oh, and maybe a few hours of picking in there...

After all's said and done, FA is only what it's
*players* make it. If we don't invest our creativity, then of course nothing's going to be interesting. (Plus, we get cookies like egg melees and immortal combat for making some effort

) The excitement lies in thinking, "What would happen if my character did X?", then bouncing off the other characters, who might have a slightly different reaction to what you expected. Such is the joy of the human mind - completely unpredictable

But again, that requires everyone to remain IC, to think how their
*character* would react. I, for one, am very aware that I've been guilty of just the opposite sometimes, but I also think this has given us a chance to turn things around for the better.
Ok, think that's the end of the rant... *Peers* Yup, all done.
Just a final thankee to the players behind Eltrax, Cylanthia, Mailen, Rissara and Telemachus for giving us such an awesome storyline (and anyone else I might have missed...). Here's to a more RP-orientated First Age.
Hopefully there's more in the pipeline....
