"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

You, sir, are far less stealthy than you think.consequences wrote:*appears out of the foreground behind RogueIce*
Ahem.

Honestly, I was going to have another big battle next. Thats the problem. That would be three big battle chapters in a row. That is kind of harsh, so I have stopped and I am thinking of an other chapter that is less on battle and more on characters.Agent Fisher wrote:I think you need to have another massive group of morlocks attack.
I really dont know, just keep the story going. hey, maybe those medieval guys will start trouble.
Either way, i would like to be seen.
Thats why you don't have a new chapter yet.

Holding off on having a battle for the next chapter of two would be a good idea, in my opinion at least.Knife wrote:Honestly, I was going to have another big battle next. Thats the problem.

You write great battles. But if there's too many of them in a story, the story can get boring quickly, even if they're written very well.

If anything, you, Darth Davie, and Roguie (various incarnations ) have made it worth while, oh and the master himself, Strav.

Bah, you too, since I put you in Strav's lance.Agent Fisher wrote:

As I dashed for the tower stair, I heard Stravo order half his men to the north ladders, as I commanded, and then he and Temjin, Fisher and David raced behind us. I paused momentarily at the base of the tower and grabbed a spear off the rack, as did Rogue, and then dashed up the stairs to help my Sergeant Lonestar against the giant Morlock and any who dared come over the wall.
Note, Fisher.

I figured i would have been in the Nightwatch. oh well.
No offense, but the Watch is the Mess. Home Guard is the prevelent SDnetters in the story.

No, but I dare you to find a mentioned member of the Watch that isn't a Mess member.Agent Fisher wrote:oh, okay. that makes sense. But does the mess have 300 members?Knife wrote:No offense, but the Watch is the Mess. Home Guard is the prevelent SDnetters in the story.

I'll take that dare:Knife wrote:No, but I dare you to find a mentioned member of the Watch that isn't a Mess member.
Knife, in Chapter One wrote: Her look turned more serious now, “Ryan is applying to the Watch soon.” She said in plain concern.
Ryan was my son. My second son. His older brother was already an apprentice in Shepp’s Smith. He seemed bound to become a great tradesman and craftsman. Ryan, my youngest son, turned more militaristic. At the age of eighteen, he was of age and free to apply if he wished.
Your point still stands though.
