Have either of the people who got recommended received anything yet?

I haven't gotten anything yet.

Also, going off of what Mehetabel received, it looks like some Celtic mythology plays a role in this. The Fear Dorcha (Far Dorocha) appears to be a shadow spirit who serves the Queen of the Dead and is known best for abducting mortals.

We might also be on the look out for his brethern: Far Darrig (the red man, who enjoys scaring others), Far Gorta (the man of hunger, who "rewards" those who offer him food) or Far Liath (the grey man, who is a mist that leads ships and man alike to death).

Wait. How do you know there were 5 recipients in your email, unless they didn't use Bcc?


I'm Psychic...

No I'm not really, just Kidding!

It tells me who else it was sent to much like the yahoo page posted previously (thanks Necropolitan for the screen grab)

I was just reluctant to post all the addresses, they might not be characters in the game lol

I think if I read the thread correctly 3 people so far have said they recieved the trailhead email..... so this means we are waiting on 2 more? Unless as necro said it was sent twice

I have had nothing back at all since my recommendation or since i emailed accepting to help...

Edit - Necro you were listed twice in my recipients too

 		I got recommended but no mention of me recommending people, however if you'd like me to try recommending you PM me your e-mail and I'll pass it along.

Here is the e-mail I just got after accepting to join.

Update I

We have yet to hear from two of the original recipients. If you can get a hold of them in any way please do so- but please refrain from being rude. If we do not hear from them come First Harvest, we will continue on and open the application process anyway.

We would greatly appreciate it if you few would spread the word of the Guard Trials somehow. Whatever means you deem necessary. The more we have participating, the more interesting it will be for you.

We have also been training our Court crier in certain mortal technologies, so that all of you may have quicker responses to your questions and a more centralized location for discussion. Currently he is on "twitter" (@court_announcer), and if you have any other recommended social websites to use (that allow for more detail, discussion and perhaps a place to list out the information we need for the applications and eventually a place to detail the trials and catalogue the videos, photos and text that the approved applicants will submit) please let him know the name of the site and why you think it may work.

Applications open on Lughnasandh morning, and Trials begin twenty-two days later. We hope to give everyone enough time to get their affairs in order to properly apply and participate in the Trials.

-W.R.


Lughnasadh (pronounced LOO-nə-sə; Irish: Lúnasa; Scottish Gaelic: Lùnastal; Manx: Luanistyn) is a traditional Gaelic holiday celebrated on August 1st.

 		When I got recommended I never was told I could actually go on to recommend anyone else myself either so I think you can just go ahead and do it Razz

So now we have a Twitter account to follow and a date: Lughnasandh morning (which is Aug. 1st).

 		Fifth applicant
Necro - have you contacted @court_announcer on Twitter?

He posted an hour ago that they are in contact with 4 of the 5 original recipients. Maybe it's worth checking with them that they did catch a fifth, rather than include you twice?

If it was an error, they are waiting on a fifth recipient who doesn't exist!

 		same email as above..

I was posted this on twitter by the account mentoned...

@mrshom3rsimpson I was able to find you-do you know how to find any of the other applicants? I'm still getting used to mortal technology.


Will have a scout about and see if i can indeed track the last recipients but i agree we should prob mention that necro was mentioned twice..

I am pagan and scottish - Lughnasadh marks the start of Harvest... sunset to sunset. I don't dance round bonfires incase anyone was wondering - thinking about taking it up as a hobby Razz But yeah bonfires get lit everone dances and celebrates but now its more ritualistic. Usually us pagans just offer fruit on our alters.

 		So yep, I recommended nighthawk1.

I tried recommending some others who PM'd me but got this response from W.R.

Quote:
Each person may only recommend one other.

You all will need to work together to figure out how this will work.

-W.R.


So maybe let people know if you still have an invite to give out. Smile

 		Sorry just woke up, I had emailed back about being on there twice and I believe they've emailed the fifth person.

I also sent an email with a few questions but the only thing I got in response was :

Oh dear. You mean it actually gave you the email addresses of other potential players? Because to me that's a bad sign.
