You'll notice I very carefully (and deliberately) didn't specify a time ;)

Basically, it will be whenever we get round to it!

I'm currently having trouble with my account. Earlier when I registered, I got a message about my account not being activated, which I reported on Animosity. Then mistwalker activated it for me manually, at which point I could log in again. However, each time I logged in I got an error message at the top of the page, got redirected to the index page, and was logged out again.

Now, every time I try to log in, I get the "account inactive" message again.

Is there anything that can be done about this? Should I try registering a new account?

Never mind people, seems the activation mail was sent straight to my spam folder. I feel kinda silly as I'm usually the one to point this out to others :P. Thanks anyway, works like a charm now.

Hello there!
I have never participated in an online campaign but I would sure like to start with this one! Could you please tell me more about the "Fluff Reports" in case I can't get that many games in? Thanks alot!

A fluff report is a short story of roughly 500 words. There are some details here: http://sentinels-campaigns.net/forum/vi ... ?f=13&t=14

Pretty much, you write up your short story and then one of the GMs judges it as being worth a Win, Loss, or Draw and it's then worth just as much as an equivalent battle would be.

Cool looking campaign guys, like the campaign site and the map esp. I've had a few months off campaigning since Karribean dawn concluded, but I'm ready to get back in the chair with a completely new character.

Nice, thanks for the reply, Mistwalker.
I have a few more questions;
--Does the character I create for this have to be my general?
--Since the GMs judge whether our fluff reports are wins, losses or draws, do we give the battles in our stories inconclusive results (like, say, do we just have them end in the middle of a fight with no clear winner?)?
Thanks for you help and sorry for being new to this.

As far as I'm concerned, no your character does not have to be your general and no you don't need to have inconclusive results. If it's good writing that's what matters. You don't even have to write about battles if you'd prefer.

Saying that, it'll be easier if you give your general a strong personality, or if your character has a lot of influence with your general. And if you're part of a large effort with your faction then you don't want an entire battle. Remember, it's only 500 words ish, you won't have enough room in that for something titanic.

What Misty said. Your character does not need to be your general; to be honest, you don't even have to play a character from the same race as far as I'm concerned. After all, all that matters from the games is the result - your character is who you play the campaign as. Obviously most people like to play a character from their usual army because it gives the battles a narrative, but it's not compulsory.

Fluff reports don't have to be about battles, as Misty said. We're judging the quality of the writing and the story being told, whatever that story is. Obviously it should be campaign-related and about your character, but other than that it's your story and you can write what you like.


Alaric; activation emails should have been disabled. You should just be able to log on to the site straight away with the account details you registered with. If you're still having problems, give one of us GMs a PM and we'll get it sorted :)


For everyone else - I really would encourage you to take the plunge and join in. This is a first for all of us, so you shouldn't be put off by the fact that you've never taken part in an online campaign before. We've built this for you guys, and we'd love to see a great Asrai.org turnout :)
