Quick Start
Welcome to HRW! This page is designed to sum up basic useful information about the area. Amendments and additions welcome!
Contents
Overview
We're a small but friendly group who put a lot of emphasis on ongoing plots (both personal and on a bigger, more political scale) and developing interesting and engaging characters. High Reaches has an ICly pretty checkered history that means people often expect the worst; things are relatively calm inside the Weyr for once, at the moment (unless you include the arrival of a foreign junior, Irianke)... but not so much outside. And who knows how long that will last!
The Area
- High Reaches has a climate roughly similar to Whistler, Canada - long, relatively cold winters, and nice-but-not-hot summers.
- People dress accordingly (more details here).
- There are a number of Holds of High Reaches in our coverage area.
- People get paid according to these rates (which aren't much - the Weyr feeds and clothes her residents, so pay is really for extras).
IC Leadership
As of Day 28, Month 12, Turn 34, High Reaches' leaders are K'del and Azaylia,
Hraedhyth's flight brought (hopefully) to an end a long period of instability and Acting Leadership that can - in retrospect - be traced back as far as the ousting of former Weyrwoman Tiriana, in Turn 28. In the intervening turns, there were a number of leadership teams:
- Acting Weyrwoman Lujayn with Acting Weyrleader K'del (Turn 28-Turn 29)
- 'Weyrwoman' Iolene with 'Weyrleader' K'del (Turn 29-Turn 30)
- Co-Weyrwomen Azaylia and Aishani with B'sil and then Taikrin/H'kon (Turn 30-Turn 31)
- Acting Weyrwoman Aishani with Taikrin (Turn 31 - Turn 32)
- Acting Weyrwoman Azaylia with Sisha (Turn 32)
- Weyrwoman Azaylia with Z'ian (Turn 32)
- Weyrwoman Azaylia with Acting Weyrleader K'del (Turn 32-34)
More details are available here.
OOC Leadership
High Reaches has a separation of IC and OOC leadership. Characters with IC rank do not necessarily have any more of an OOC leadership role than any other player.
The OOC admin team is presently: K'del and Leova.
To contact the admin team, feel free to page any member, +mail hrwadmin or send email to admins@hrweyr.net.
Recent History
A broad overview of major plots can be found here.
A timeline is available here.
Help With Character Development
- If you need a sounding board for your character development, the admin team is more than happy to help!
- Equally, do feel free to ask around to see if there's anyone who has an appropriate character to have existing backstory with yours.
Getting RP
- Ways of getting RP include: sitting in public, asking on channel, paging a person in particular, and so on. All of these ways are valid.
- This said, please be mindful that asking for RP on channel several times in quick succession can be frustrating to other players. Be patient!
- Please be conscious of other people's feelings. Attempting to guilt another player into playing with you is not cool; it is harassment.
- As a general rule, if a person is sitting in public, they're looking for RP. While sometimes you may not be interested in playing with that person at a given time (you've played with them recently, for example), asking for RP on channel, or going to sit in public somewhere else, can come across as rude.
- Don't just sit around waiting to be asked! While many players will ask, it is not anyone else's responsibility to get RP for you.
