You guys did a great job with this! My question is, if we are planning on killing off a character, would you like us to update the history to that point in said character's profile?

1. Will there be a more detailed timeline avalible, since I must do the dreaded updates?
2. Did you keep all this secret to keep people from objecting to having their characters shuffled off to tje no mans lands of the holds?
3. Do you think I am too paranoid, and did.you wait ntil I was confined to tjis touch kwypad to try and keep me quiet?
4. Can you ignore any and all typos you may find in this post?

Personally I wouldn't see the point in that. If they're dying they're dying. A note at the bottom like "Died in 201-" would suffice for me.

Details, thankfully, aren't what we're looking for here. I'd be happy with vagueness. 2. Ahaha, no. We just wanted to finish as much of the work before revealing this as we could. 3. You are perfectly paranoid and I love it, but sadly we are not so evil as to wait until you are stuck on a touchpad. 4. Yes, yes I can.

Out of curiosity, since this came up while discussing Aithyn with Ivy... how are the Holders enforcing the dragonrider reassignments/forced movement to Holds? It seems like dragonriders are an especially headstrong bunch, and if many of them would be against moving (as it seems many would be, IC and OOC), how would they force them to move?
Also, how would the "weyrmated don't get split" thing work? Would it work as Ivy posted in Aithyn's profile, where they would allow her to hem and haw and stay at Sel while Cainith got force-reassigned, or would it be "weyrmated pairs get moved together... if you don't move where we assign your Crafter weyrmate, then you get assigned elsewhere, since you obviously don't care about your weyrmate enough to stay with them"?

It will be enforced by the Weyrleaders of the Weyrs as per the Summit. So really the dragonriders have no choice in the matter. We expect and want unrest from some people regarding this move. But even if they don't ike it they will be forced to make the move basically. And Ivy has no craft. Thus it is totally up to her whether or not she is going to stay in the weyr. Cainith doesn't have that option since he is a crafter. For example if Erilena was not a crafter (she is but if she wasn't) she would have the option of splitting with Dmitri who is a harper and staying at the weyr if she really wanted. If Ivy had a craft she would have to go to the hold but since she doesn't she doesn't have to. Basically it's all up to her. They don't have to go with their current weyrmate if they don't want to live at the hold. They just have that option.

With the placement list up, once the master list is compiled, will the timeskip history be updated to include other riders?
Will any deaths coming from the placement list be included in the timeskip history?
I'm just trying to better figure out what I'm writing for my profile updates other than "so-and-so was there, so-and-so did something like this", having it vague and bland.

Pets. Question about pets.
If one weyr gets the gold mandyr then will that weyr exclusively have hatchings? Can we make up excuses to be at the other weyr for a hatching? Ditto for the other goldy pets.

I'm just trying to better figure out what I'm writing for my profile updates other than "so-and-so was there, so-and-so did something like this", having it vague and bland. The timeskip history is just a guideine for you to follow. Once I have you all settled into where you will be at you can update your history using that info. For example you would say R'men fought in the war against Fort in the aerial battle (Since only Legatus and Benden black ops were involved in the actual infiltration of Fort) He totlaly kicked ass and then was assigned to Inverness (for example I don't know where he shall be until random.org assigns him) and he helped to build the new weyr. He is unhappy or happy with the bans place by the summit and plans to attend the Weyrleader Trials to A.) Enforce the rule better or B.) Try and create a massive war with his new weyr to overturn the bans. So yeah once you know where you will be things will be easier regarding your histories. ^^ No no deaths will be added to the history but they will be added to the death list :3 There was no need to make a huge massive history involving everyone that would be too much for people to read and decipher basically XD Best advice I can give you in your profiles is this. Think about what you want your rider to be like after the five years. Then use your profile as a guideline and add events to get them to that point. For example if I want Er'ani to be this rebel like young dude after the skip. I would keep that in mind and add events to make him be this rebel. Like hating the crafter ban and being outspoken and getting in trouble with the weyrleader and eventually being demoted to cleaning up dragon poop. >> That was just an example but yeah xD I hope that helped a little?

Ditto for the other goldy pets. You will have the sole queen mandyr for whatever weyr you are stationed at yes. Eventually there will be one queen pet for each weyr :3 We will reveal more about how the gold pet situation will go down at a later date. But for now lotty you can bask int he glory of having the only still fertile queen pet in both weyrs xD!

So, wait... if someone is weyrmated to a Crafter, it's pretty much a "get out of forced reassignment" card? If a person, rider or not, is weyrmated to a crafter who gets Hold-assigned, they can just say, "I'm having second thoughts" and just stay at Sel indefinitely, not worrying about the forced reassignment non-weyrmated-to-crafters riders/wherhandlers are subjected to? Seems like a pretty hefty loophole that lots of people might take advantage of.

If their weyrmate does not have a craft he or she does not have to go anywhere if they don't want to. There is no loophole xP Basically crafter= Reassigned. If you have no craft = Stay at the weyr No one is forcing anyone without a craft to move with their weyrmate. If they love them enough and can't live without them they can go with. If not they can choose to split from their weyrmate and stay at the weyr.

Re: The Summit
Has it been permanently retired, or is it just like a retired-until-further-notice kinda thing? And if it's the latter, then is Ce'thian, who wasn't part of the Selenitas Council, now part of the Summit whereas the original ruling council people who are no longer leaders (like E'rro, K'ian, etc.) aren't? Or is the Summit just the original group of leaders forever?
I'm not sure in retrospect if my question even makes sense, or if it's even going to be important at all, but yep.

Okay, now I'm really confused... then why are people posting all their characters in the assignment thread, instead of just the crafters? I thought all riders were being equally distributed randomly between Selenitas and the new Inverness Weyr being established in the North? So everyone will be at Selenitas, except for the crafters, who get randomly thrown out to Holds, possibly by themselves with no one to RP with? Ouch.
