Wanderlust -- Hype (the Crazeh Mod), 19:03:40 04/06/07 Fri
 An island off the coast of Newfoundland had long been the home of a healthy wildlife population and a popular platform for dogsled racing. As time went on, the wolf population began to dwindle, leaving a boisterous caribou population go relatively unchecked. It was partially for that reason that Project TWIG began. Its aim was to pull wolves from areas with extremely healthy wolf populations as well as wolves where their numbers were threatened by man and urbanization and relocate them to an island with a rich history of wolves to retain balance to the island but also to be used as a controlled environment to research wolves.
The wolves were captured and tagged, then dropped off on Xanctsu Island. One question was clear from the very beginning: What did the tags mean? While the only solid pack native to the island opted to view the tags with mild concern, other wolves were quick to jump to conclusions. As time progressed, packs were formed; one steadily opposed the tags and all tagged wolves; another consisted solely of tagged wolves.
The grey area between what benefits the tags might bring and what disasters they might promise is small. Most wolves have a solid belief on the tags, and those who dont have an opinion have not experienced enough to fully form one.
All the wolves can agree on is that the humans are behind the tags But what does that mean?
Humans inhabit a small town; the only town on the island. There reside the researchers who are a part of Project TWIG and a handful of dogsled racers and a few other people. The annual dogsled race, The Xanctsu Quest, has been compared to the Iditarod (not quite as extreme as the Yukon Quest, though) and takes racers throughout the entire island all for a lone prize of glory and fame.

So, um, I finally posted Mylanith. *ducks*
I've been very lazy about it, and I apologize; college has eaten a lot of my time, but I could've fit it in more than a month ago if I'd tried. Sorry!

I know we sort of started to do this when the idea of reviving New Isle first came up, but I'm making this the OFFICIAL ACTIVE CHECK!!!11!!!one1!!
I need:
Character name - gender - age - profession - ranking (if applicable) - firelizards
(If profession is Dragonrider, I also need:
Dragon name - colour - age (all of your Dragons are now fully grown))

...bloody Topcities. -- Kitty, 14:43:17 10/12/06 Thu
Did... something odd. It appears they were bought by another company... at anyrate, I'm not dealing with the seven dollars a month to pay for it, particularly when I'm about to host the new site off of Mac. For now... I guess just host the Flight here, unless someone still has that page of general links to the various boards that they'd be willing to share?
I -am- in the process of making the new site... I guess this just means I really need to speed things up a bit. >.<
My apologies for the inconveniences. Blar. x_x;

Two things to vote on for the new site:
1.) Staying with Voy/trying a new forum system where everythings literally put on a single forum.
2.) Having a chat room for Live RP scheduled at specific times when folks can get there. I think part of the issue with the messageboard RP is just that it takes weeks for a day to pass. Chat room RP allows us to pick up the pace, and again -- would be scheduled based upon when multiple folks could be there. :-)

So Mom finally sent me the latest Pern book! -- LG, 13:09:28 10/05/06 Thu
I didn't particularly enjoy Dragon's Fire as a book, but it was a good resource for some things about Pern that haven't been explored before. Which I'm going to list, both for my own self-reference and for those who might not have gotten a chance to read it yet. I'm also drawing some game-related conclusions from the new facts. Anybody up for debating and/or discussing them?
However, if anyone REALLY wants to avoid spoilers for the book, there are a few (including a very major one). So I'll put the bulk of this in a reply, so if you don't want to be spoiled you can just not click on the link.

Small announcement -- Pup, 09:18:46 09/29/06 Fri
I know I'm the player that worked the hardest to get New Isle back on its feet, but I don't think I'll be able to play at the new site. Something's come up, and...to be frank, I just don't have the heart to play. I'm sorry.
I sorta feel like I'm abandoning you guys, and I feel awful about it, but I...just can't play here anymore. I hope you understand.

*Claws up from the abyss* -- Grasscat, 03:24:57 09/17/06 Sun
Ooo, feels weird to be called Grasscat again...
Anyway, I'm here! At last! *Pants from exertion* What with learning reams of Shakespeare and it being my A level year, my playing has been sporadic. BUT! I'm here, and I'm going to post! (When, of course, G'rein has been replied to *coughX'thrallcough* so that I can post)
I have a question: How old are the dragonets from Grenith's clutch? Ashertith from that is my only brown, and my bronze is one that I currently have no muse for. I can dredge up something for him if you want me to, but if Gren's clutch are old enough to fly...

Just a question, possibly stupid -- Pup, 09:34:47 09/03/06 Sun
And from Pup, no less! Wow, when was the last time she had a question? Haha, jokes aside, seriously. When did we start the tradition of waiting for the bugle in flights? I really don't remember why we diecided to o that. Was it so that we wouldn't have males joiming the flight long after it started, and the original males are getting tired?
As they say, curiositu killed the cat...

New Isle..? -- Kitty, 22:43:50 08/13/06 Sun
First, and foremost, to those of you still playing/interested in playing at New Isle Weyr, I offer my sincere apologies. I'd not realized that the Weyr still had loyal members when I finally gave up m'self a few months ago -- so you can imagine my surprise when I was checking my AOL e-mail the other day and found not one, not two, but three back-logged e-mails from Pup telling me that there was still a small population of remaining RPers. Certainly something aught to be done for these folk in my humble opinion -- and though the suggestion of giving up and officially closing the site was legimately made, I'd like to offer a vote. (Lots of love to Pup by the way for being so loyal as to keep in touch!)
I'm starting college soon, but I've still a good week or so before I go. I'm willing to type up a new backstory for the Weyr -- start completely afresh for everyone. Do an Active Check (of doom) and probably send a ton of chars off to the Lost Souls Board. I'm also thinking that we pass a few turns -- get another clutch on the sands and do a heck of a lot of advertising. I've faith we can save it... but I'd need some help. Someone to keep the updates functional in particular, people willing to take leading roles such as Weyrlingmaster, Cook, etc., and everyone -everyone-, to spread the word to their friends, neighbors, and little cousins twice removed.
Also, as I've been mistakenly gone ahwile -- please tell me of what RP-plots have occurred so that I can work them into the storyline. I want to incorporate what's happened in my abscence into positions and general storylinne. If Wessae is availible to be active, I'd -love- for her and T'bel to keep going... but no is certainly acceptable with a job and school all sorts of other craziness. If this has to be so, then my first thought for canon would be for Ginny and K'ith to return and take command. I'm willing to play these folks... okay, actually (I'd love to come back to playing them. It's been a long, long time.)
Anywho, so that no one feels any pressure one way or another -- silent vote. E-mail me back with your thoughts and a yea or nay. If it is a nay, I'll still write up a good story to give New Isle the graceful closure it deserves.
Fair skies,
Kitty (WolvenChess@aol.com)

Step one, so to speak. Flight! :D -- LG, 22:13:53 08/29/06 Tue
All right, I posted the start of Mylanith's flight in the Flight Air. Ladies and, er, ladies, PLEASE respond... Kitty says we're going to restart NIW with the clutch from this flight. ^_^ If you only have the time to throw one malerider in, just do one! In fact, even if you have plenty of time and maleriders, remember that in flights quality counts WAY more than quantity, so I'd rather see impressive posts from you for one of your maleriders than so-so posts for each of five. (If you can do good posts for all five? Wow. More power to you. Go for it!)
Don't feel left out if you have a brown and not a bronze (or feel you can write your brown better than your bronze), and don't be afraid to put your browns in the flight! ^_~ Remember, this is a junior queen, so you can if you prefer. I just want a shiny flight, you guys, and I trust you all to deliver. :D

Ok... -- Pup, 21:10:56 08/12/06 Sat
GC is probably not going to be very active, she said. I've yet to hear back if she's giving up entirely, or just putting it on hold. So, I asuming we will have to put Xie in chrage? Or would the A'ron back-up pair do these lessons?
C'mon, peeps! I can't do this whole Roleplaying thing by myself! Well, I can, and have, but it's no fun if I already know what my reaction to myself is going to be!

Nostalgia galore! -- Tjara, 15:26:51 07/17/06 Mon
oh wow, my Firefox managed to delete all links so it deleted my link to this place as well. Then I go random google-searching my character I use in another game today and find something hilarious posted by somebody in some RPG on some voy forum who had a character with the same name mine did. I laugh my ass off, then scroll around and think "wow, some of these names look familiar". Two minutes later I burst out laughing because this was my own character on Terole. Now my sides hurt! I even showed my friend and called my own writing 'extremely lame' before realising who I was talking about.
My writing has changed a lot! haha, but what was even more fun was seeing Terole reopened! I almost squealed in joy and disbelief! I'm reading the intro and wondering if to re-join. And if I do, who with! This is so amazing! I've bookmarked this place again. XD So many of my characters started out here before being transfered or sadly vanished. Wheee! *excitement*
And yeah, I'm Matthildur or Matt but Tjara is much simpler and fewer mistake me for a bloke when I'm not Matt. XD

Hey, peeps! -- dat Pup person, 21:34:37 07/26/06 Wed
Hey, where da heck be everyone? GC and NS, you two need to get moving, as far as Weyrling lessons go, unless you can't make it, so DS and I would have to. I'm not trying to offend anyone, but you know me! I'm devoid of all cuteness/tact. I'll see about e-mailing everyone for activity. How many e-mails do I have? *muses* Well, what I don't have, DS probably will. Have finished talking.

I know, I'm as guilty as anyone else, but, come on! At least I have an excuse- I was visitng my aunt's house in Montana, and they didn't have any Internet. Yes, as hard as it is to believe, it's true. So, now I

m not going to be active for the rest of summer, wither, and possibly not until 2007, because of all the crap-o-la I have going on. Okay? I'll post my characters at some point, but I'm kinda pressed for time, so, T.T.F.N., tat ta for now!
Be good, my friends, and I hope that when I come back, we'll have plotness rolling again! Hate to bail like this, but I really don't have enough time this summer.

But, I am going to poitn something out right here- this hatching feast thing has been going on for about a year. Isn't it time to start weyrling lessons? DS, NS, GC, sorry for running out on you, but it doesn't seem fair to leave you guys waitng for me to post when my inspiration is gone. I love you guys, and I shall return.

Yes, I know I've done this before, but this time, it's not my site. It's a friends. I told him I'd help him get some people, so... Hey, I gotta keep a promise, right?
This is, by the way, an RP on foxes...Kinda out-of plate, but...
[insert picture here (don't know how to do that) ]
T.he F.ox R.ealm
You enter a mystifying land of all sorts.... the Lighthearts which dwell in the forests where the birds sing serenades. The Darkhearts which lurk on the outskirts where the ravens caw and cracked ground fills the land. The undecided who are pending towards their destination... lightheart or darkheart?
The whispers of the wind fill your ears, soft padded paws fluster around you. You become weak... what is happening to you? As you begin to dread the next movement, you realize you've stepped into another valley. Expecting the worst, you look around, auds standing alert until a russle sprouts a fox from the bush. You are relieved. One of your own kind. You then realize that you don't know where you are! The meadow around you strikes unfamiliar... what are you to do? You decide. You're now a part of the [F.ox]R.ealm]

Announcement -- Nitesun, 16:53:32 06/07/06 Wed
And yes, this IS the long-lost Nitesun who got his name to mimic Deystar's and started the Weyrbrats thing.
I'm coming back to New Isle (and don't worry--DS'll be back soon, I talked to her over the phone). I know this seems weird, but... well, I liked it, and I came back to look and miss some of my old characters. A little voice just said, "MINE!", and I knew I wanted back in. Now that summer's here... well, I had to come back...
The ones I remember are:
RIDERS:
Halzay with green Elizabeth
Evelance with blue Darlith
Ash with brown Deceith
X'thrall with blue Golgith
K'rea with blue Neroath
True with green Zairith
D'raco with blue Neith
WEYRBRATS:
Cara
Faini
Graythorn
Shadow
CANDIDATES:
Amyr
Amyrel
I am fully aware that all but one of the riders (X'thrall) were given to DS, and we worked out that I could have all of them back.
With the Weyrbrats, I'm letting them all go except Graythorn--DS said I could have him back, if I wanted.
Amyr and Amyrel are both mine again, from DS.
Anyway, I'm asking Pup about X'thrall. I don't want to push you, Pup... I only claim the others because I already talked to DS and worked everything out. I just want to know if you'd let me play him again, but if you want to keep him, I can't blame ya. =p Either way, it's up to you.
