Of course you can! You can take part of the game even if you don't have in-game character. Discussions during Council meetings make the game interesting and there you can participate even without an avatar.

And welcome to the Org!

Okay, thank you for the reply. But how much time this this consume a week? Because I have also other things to do (like you all I believe).

Between the Council session it doesn't consume much of your time. If you can check the threads once a day then that's it. Unless you want to become Treasurer. He have to be a bit more active. Council Sessions take more time since then people post more usually.

Okay, thanks. I'm really thinking about joining.

These things take as much time as you want them too! I can only access the forums from home so my input wont be to the same "inexhaustible" level as in previous ventures so checking out the Treasurer reports would be the minimum I guess and adding, if you want to, some comments from your Elder Warrior in the role play.

Thank you, Braden. But I'm afraid playing this roleplaying game as a horde nation will be difficult. Any advices to play this game?

I plan to RP as an individual. Hence the choice of a spy, however, its not that hard to RP with a horde faction. If your unfamiliar with the type of warrior government these races you might have to do some research to get into the "head space" (I intend to do some refreshing myself). Its far removed from the sort of organisation we have in other games (roman etc) but that's the challenge I think. My main pointer might be to just think of the character, where he is in the game and what he might want to achieve (looking at the initial traits helps me as well in this)....nothing wrong with being a loyal warrior to the cause of the Chieftain, likewise, nothing wrong with being a back stabbing git who just wants the power for himself! The Vandals weren't a mindless people bent on just destruction, if memory serves didn't a Visi-Goth become Emperor of Rome for a short time at one point?

There were reasons behind "horde", whilst I don't think the Vandals were nomadic peoples, they had other reasons for constantly moving (namely the Nomadic tribes pushing them out!)
