A good WM will *try* to devise a plot that will involve all factions.
But tastes differ vastly, and no premise will actually *intrest*
everyone.

Could you please point to any FK fan fiction war where this has occured?

While the premise shouldn't be completely ignored by everyone, some
of them would have been impossible, it doesn't seem to be generally
regarded as more than excuse to gather and as something for someone
to resolve by the end of the week or two the war runs.

Um...unless the premise for this war gives factions an excuse to
attack any other faction that will let them*, I suggest we hold a
brief moment of silence for this idea right now.

There is a good reason it's called the war premise, not the war plot.
Anyone who tries to make it a plot, should probably stock up on pain
killers before hand, since they're almost guarenteed a constant
migraine for most of the war.

Plots are for controlled situations, not for wars.

an attack, or...you get the idea.

I'm with Emma (and others) on this one.  What does one remember when the War
is over?  The pranks, the parties, the fun stuff.  The broader the premise,
the more opportunity there is for the creative lunacy that makes this fandom
what it is.  Being tied tightly to the plot line is going to stifle some
players, and make things difficult for the majority.

I also have to add that, IMO, the Die-Hards are a *faction*, not a catch-all
for people who wish to play as Independents.

Subject: WAR: Purpose of War XI con't

The premise for war XI will be broad enough to encompass just about
everything. I think it's time to move on to other topics of discussion.
Anyone interested in further discussing this, please contact the WM OFF-LIST.

I'm sorry, but I do find that statement to be rather dictatorial and
undiplomatic.

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to mention that although it was apprarently down for
maintenance earlier, the shorter url version of the KtK site is again
working.  You should now be able to access the latest KtK auction at either:

http://www.ktk.op.nu
or

Enjoy, and bid high!

Yes, the NNPack is playing.  I just got home from the Starfleet
Region 6 conference (I had no e-mail access for the weekend, so if
this has been answered already, ignore me).  You can subscribe to
nnpack@y......., if you're not already subscribed.  I'm trying
to remember the person in charge.  Oh, and make sure to sign up for
the NNpack war channel.

If you need a hand or have any questions please don't hesitate to
contact Don Fasig <Argent@e.......> or Lisa McDavid
<mclisa@m.......>.

For tips on managing your Forever Knight  subscriptions please visit Don's
help page at: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/7139/fk-lists.htm

List digests are archived at:
http://members.theglobe.com/KnightWind3/forkni.htm

FORKNI-L  RULES

1. No flames on list. FLAMERS MAY BE SET NOPOST. THE NOPOST
MAY BE PERMANENT.

2. Please don't quote more than four lines of a previous post in replying.
If you have more than one point to answer, then you may quote the
relevant four lines for that point also.

3. Limit sigs to 6 lines.  This includes all information, decoration
quotations and blank lines.  Your name and address count as part of
the six. If you sign your name on a separate line above the body of text,
your name and the blank line or lines between count as part of the six
line limit. If you have one of those services that insists on putting an
advertising tag on the end of posts, don't worry. We realize you can't
control that and it doesn't count as part of your sig.

4. Please don't send to the whole list when you are only talking to the
person who  wrote  the post you are answering.

5. Advertising on list is on a case by case basis. Please consult the
listowners, Lisa McDavid,  <mclisa@m.......> or Don Fasig,
<Argent@e.......> for permission.

6. This list is for the discussion of Forever Knight. Cast, crew, staff
and producers in connection with what they're doing now or have done in the
past are ok. So are list members' FK- fannish activities and
arrangements to meet. Cons should only be announced on Forkni-l if someone
from the show is appearing, or if you're going to be there. Non-FK vampires,
or vampires in general, are _NOT_ ok.  Vampyres@t....... does that.
McLisa can tell you how to subscribe.

7. Off-topic posts are _NOT_ allowed, no matter what they are about or how
urgent the warning may appear. If you have an off-topic post which you
think should appear on the list, ask one of the owners for permission.

8. The private lives of the cast are not a discussion topic. Occasionally
one of the fan club presidents will make an announcement, but other
than that, we leave the cast their privacy.

9. Only fan club presidents or other designated spokespeople may
make announcements of future projects for FK cast, crew and staff,
before said projects have been released or written about in the media.

10. No role-playing on Forkni-l. This includes no character names as
pseudonyms or posing as a character.

11. Each subscriber is limited to five posts per day on Forkni-l.

Ahm, actually as Forkni-l listowner I have to say that the topic is ok for
Forkni-l. That said, I must agree that if you want to talk specifically to
the WM about something, it is correct to take that offlist.
