IF the Northern Coalition would be allowed to join the Roseblood Accord, then the stance of positive gameplay would make sense and in our minds, valid.

I have seen nothing in the text for either agreement that precludes signing both. We've actually considered doing so. (We are aware that the unanimous consent of all NC members might be an issue in such a case, but we will not withhold information about interest in RA to join NC - that would violate the spirit of both agreements, and more importantly, our own adherence to Wheaton's Law)

EDIT: As for being "allowed" to join Roseblood? Who can stop anybody? Check this out:
I, Zweistern, hereby declare my intent to abide by the Roseblood Accord. My signature does not bind any other member of my Company or my Settlement.

We should ask Tavernhold about their feelings of a blindside when it was obvious certain members knew where they were headed. If Tavernhold would of been a part of the Accord and not neutral, I wonder if they would of lost F at all. Or at least perhaps they would of been clued in that it was going to happen. Maybe they already knew. I have no idea. I hope they were given a heads up. That would of been an example of positive gameplay if they had been notified.

Hi, I'm with Tavernhold. Zweistern's a holding name until I determine who I'll be in-game, which will be influenced by the final results of land rush - I'll not be posting often because I don't want to lose my ability to change names. As far as I know, we were not warned of our impending displacement, but nobody in our organization has expressed any hurt feelings over that. As we formulate our own plans moving forward, we have some people we're thinking of approaching for alliance purposes ("Alliance" here means sharing a settlement). If we decide to try to retake F, we are more likely to discuss possibilities with Kabal than start an escalation which would lead to a settlement full of people we recruited solely for their vote without consideration of whether they share our actual goals. I'd rather be relegated to T (NTTATWWT - I'm sure it's lovely) than end up with a huge unruly mob, all wanting to go different directions.

We all have all 30 spots listed on our draft lists. We all have the possibility of displacing and being displaced. We don't take Kabal's intrusion as a personal affront or declaration of feud, and we will not intend to offend whoever we push if we don't stick with J. We just want a plot of land to build a tavern on. Someplace with a good view of the sky. And not too expensive.

You are also welcome to join Tavernhold independently. That's the settlement. The sponsored companies within Tavernhold are Golden Flask and Dream Seekers. We are open to adding more companies if you've got a group with compatible alignment and goals.

I would like to see possibilities for adding enhancements to existing items. Bring me a masterwork sword and some gold, and I'll add "flaming" to it. This would be consistent with tabletop rules.

I'm looking forward to getting some clarification of the crafting system so that I can start working on character concept (I have never played any other MMO, so it's possible the information I'm looking for is already out there and I am just failing to interpret the terminology).

Crafting is based on possession of recipes, but are those recipes persistent? If I make a batch of 15 longswords, but lose my index card with the instructions written on it, will I be unable to make another batch the next day? Or is it tracked among my stats somewhere "has learned how to craft [item]", or "has learned how to add [enhancement]"?

I'm already concerned about losing access to skills based on remote events. Say my settlement has a top-tier training facility for smithing, and I complete the training. I can make amazing things! Then I move to a neighboring settlement who needs amazing things and is willing to pay for them, but they don't have the school, so 30 days later, I don't have the skill? Or somebody came and razed our facility. Since my high school burned down, I don't have access to algebra anymore?

Cayden teaches us there is always a seat at the Bar.

Lastly, I made some tasty chili last night. It turned out pretty good. I used some Labatt Blue, because there is always beer in my chili recipes.

There's no such thing as a chili recipe. There are only guiding principles. Chili can never be duplicated.

Don't forget that many resources will only be available in areas where permanent camps and mines can't be built. Will everybody who hastily grabs starmetal in a monster hex be automatically labeled a stripminer?

Out to the northwest, you'll find a ring of badlands officially named after some dead explorer, but known to the locals as "Cayden's Bung".

I would definitely like to see at least a bare-bones table of scarcity for the bulk commodities by terrain type. Actual ingredients are going to be trickier, since there's no way to rate their value until some recipes become available.
