Planning/Organizing
Heres how I broke down the essential planning of Crossroads.
It would be broken down into categories:
Location, Storyline, Heralding, Weapons checking, The town (including economy/currency), Nightlife (night 1), Nightlife (night 2), Troll, NPCs, Battles (day 1, day 2), Food, etc.
Each category would have one person assigned to it, then later a group would be assigned to help out overall:
[For Example....Fairion becomes in charge of weapons checking, then his job becomes to create the group of whos will be checking which weapon category at the event and to make sure to have the supplies for the task]
So, I have been doing much research on this event and here is what I have so far as potentials for running certain groups and potential plans within the event:
Location-Centrally located for Eryndor, new site, preferrably one that does not ban the use of alocohol, etc. Any suggestions for a site are encouraged. (Look u in progress).
Storyline- Now, personally dont want to post my storyline ideas as of yet because I figured it would be fitting to do it as a small collaborative group, with different inventive ideas all throughut a cohesive story. I have contacted Arias who would like to help in this particular category, as well as Ame and myself.
Heralding- All heralds would be informed of each battle ahead of time and be assigned prior to the event. Eindridi has volunteered to be the head herald and appoint others to herald for him. he has also volunteered to bean NPC if needed.
Weapons Checking- (explained above) Fairion was contacted about this, and he said he could help out if he was available. Fenris would also like to be apart of the group in this category.
TOWN- I capitalize this because it is underestimated and probably going to be the hardest thing to fully pull off. We would need a person for each 'shop' like a metalsmith, an owner of a saloon, etc, watever you can think of...8 spaces in the town seems like an ideal/realistic number. Phoenix with a group has offered to build the fronts of the shops providing he is here at that time, and it would be cool to see some northern folk plan out a currency system (considering they had it on a mini scale at a western campout). In the past there has been a town, this is in case there would be one and how important it would be to the overall event.
Nightlife- For at least one of the nights, there could be a bar in the saloon open all night, it would be cool to see IG do that if they would want to. I spoke to Asashi about it briefly, but im curious to see what they could come up with and confident it would be baller
Troll- self-explained...everyone knows how this works, I would like to partkae in this ...especially come up with baller tags...as well as have a few helpers, such as Eleyond or Aello....or anyone who wanted to help would be awesome.
NPCs- By far the most important factor after storyline is to get 'in character' people set up well ahead of time. No suprise that go to people would be garwyn and crew....and of course anyone else who wanted to be assigned a role.
Battles!- I feel like these shouldnt be confirmed until the storyline is made because the ideas you evolve from the storyline make them all the more epic. Storyline first is key foundation fr anything else to lay in place. Haddix has said he would help out in this category as the main person as well as fenris, and a fury member named Plaid.
Food!- I have contacted Dragoons several times on this....their last answer was that they would help out if they knew ahead of time they could make it their ...but we all know how this category works as well. Cross had also posted something about helping to cook as well.
Unfortunately, this is all I have time to post at the moment....but I have many more thought s on each subject...just think,...these are just tidbits!
Keep in mind that a. this event hasnt even been approved yet and therefore, there isnt a permanent for sure on the event or a date and b. that means people cant/probably going to 100% confirm to something potentially more than 8 months in advance. But, I am confident in this system and this chapter and would like to see who wants to do what and would also like to see how you feel about this, so....post away!
Thanks Eryndor,

Nightlife- I don't remember talking about this, but that's k we probably did, ask everyone I no longer remember things... But if it is to be then it shall be done.

Re: Planning/Organizing
It is a good idea, however it is too fair out of the central area for all of Eryndor. Personally I would like to see it done at the castle up in Boyne City in northern Michigan. But I know that is way to fair out of the way for everyone.

Re: Planning/Organizing
I take it that Haddix and Muhdurin taking the reigns for Crossroads this year means that it's going to be a split venture between the IG and the Senegals, right?

Re: Planning/Organizing
For the purposes of administration, an event like this requires a tightly run and preplanned approach (see: the first few Crossroads) However, I don't think that the plan is to have the IG and Senegal's ONLY run the event. I think the current plan is to have us...perhaps the best word is guide the event.
Anybody who is interested in participating in it should drop Haddix or I a line!

Re: Planning/Organizing
Muhdurin, I would definitely like to help out with the event. Talk to Rev, too. He was telling me that he's really interested in helping to run things for Crossroads.
