Right, let's get this out of the way.

(( Not that I know of, I only asked for changes on the reclaimer forces since they are under my command. ))
Except that they aren't specifically yours. They're hunters, which is Survival. I'm letting you use them because they're the closest thing to soldiers* we have and you seem to think your job is more important than mine. They're as much, if not moreso, mine as yours. The conversation with the GM should've been had in the thread (in fact, please quote the entire thing), and if you absolutely had to have had it via PM, I should have been at least asked about it.

This is a four-player team effort here, Alexandria. The workforce overlaps; check with us before you decide anything, and do so in the actual thread. Maybe you just didn't want us disagreeing, though.

*And while we're on the subject, I'd like to point out hunters are not the same thing as soldiers. One can serve as the other in a pinch, but you've made the mistake of assuming one is as good as the other. And that because they could act as soldiers if needed, they must obviously be Reclamation...

Except that that has an effect on an entire species, a species my character is part of.

(( Not a species, on the limited number currently present which is a fraction of 1% of a species.

As for quoting it, I don't have it I delete my messages as I go unless they contain something thats important. I asked for reclaimers specifically to be altered, at the time I assumed it would be a separate group for each of us not a single group for both of our jobs.

I never said my job was more important at all so please don't tell me what I'm thinking, it's insulting. I said we had multiple jobs that needed doing and couldn't send the entire force off to do a single job.

Since I asked specifically about reclaimers I had no reason to ask any of you, since I'm the one controlling the reclaimers, I didn't assume hunters were soldiers or as good as the other, or that they had to be reclaimers, again. Insulting to assume you know what I'm thinking.))

You know, you guys CAN just ask the GM, right?

Alright. So what constitutes the reclaimers? The Fae hunters I'm using certainly don't, and the group guarding the building site is debatable.

I never said my job was more important at all so please don't tell me what I'm thinking, it's insulting. I said we had multiple jobs that needed doing and couldn't send the entire force off to do a single job.

That's the impression I get.
Those jobs don't all need to be done at once. We absolutely must have food, or this is going to be a pretty short game. Meanwhile, most of the predators in the area probably don't even know we're here yet, and a group a hundred strong will intimidate all but the strongest from even trying. You think one pack of Fae hunters is good enough to defend the caravan; we haven't accounted for the actions of five human families, yet. They could do the job better.

Since I asked specifically about reclaimers I had no reason to ask any of you, since I'm the one controlling the reclaimers, I didn't assume hunters were soldiers or as good as the other, or that they had to be reclaimers, again. Insulting to assume you know what I'm thinking.))

This is one of the issues I have. The 'reclaimers' isn't a distinct group, and we have to share the workforce. If you want something a certain way and it affects us, you should ask us before you go to the GM. How would you feel if I had gone to the GM instead of you and declared all of the Fae were explicitly bowmen and would work exclusively for me? (I did do the last bit, but I realized pretty quickly that others might have issues with that. That doesn't appear to have occurred to you.)

And you didn't assume the Fae were all reclaimers?
(( Uhm dude, the fae packs are mine.... Thats the rest of the reclaimers. ))

Look, we should just wait for the GM to update the turn, the argue then. This would certainly help clear up a few misconceptions, especially if some of our questions are answered.
At any rate, if anyone else has any building ideas, tell me about them, and we'll see if it's feasible.

Alright. We'll need a workshop and lumber mill at some point. A tannery would make use of the hides of the animals the hunters will be bringing in. If we roll poorly on the river, we'll want a well or two. I'd suggest building the town in such a way that there's an open space in the center, for a future square/market.

I can tell I'm going to be training up some human soldiers pretty soon, so a barracks would be useful. Who knows, we might even find horses and need a stable. If building pastures and such falls under construction, I'd like a few of those, too.

Well I've asked the gm to split the reclaimers and survivors.

Barracks as well as tanners, fletchers, smiths, training space.

I was referring to that PM conversation with Taricus you mentioned but edited out. You said you'd already requested a barracks, as if I should've known that already.

That wasn't a PM conversation, rather it was one over IRC
