Character sheet packs for the Gordian Knot will be available from Friday night, so there will be more than 5 minutes to get to find/recognise the people you want to recognise. We are trusting people to be discreet about finding out who the people they might need to know about and if the other person doesn’t know that there is a connection. (Hope that last sentence makes sense …)
Makes complete sense! I don’t know the game at all so i’m not giving away a plot line, but if my character knew some one and wanted to kill them or something, it would make for a very awkward situation if you found them long beforehand and went “oh yeah, you’re blahblah blah, im trying to kill you!”.
I think what they mean is actually not just about evil intentions. There was that post from Muppet somewhere about someone approaching him saying they know him, and it turned out he was supposed to not know because his character had amnesia. There may be all sorts of reasons, you can usually guess from description of your interaction with that person how to better go about it. Makes cool situations when someone suddenly does the whole “I am your father, Luke” (cheers, Derek 
) thing, but on the other hand may give you extra challenge, e.g. if you are looking for someone for whom you have evil intentions and you don’t know who plays that person, and IC you are not supposed to know what they look like, it makes space for extra roleplaying (I had police inspector after me in first Great Ex, he never found me, maybe because I was a ninja).
We have completed sending out the initial character blurbs to all players. We have also sent out the second email with information about your characters planets to 90% of the players.
If you have not received any emails from us, please check you spam boxes and/or add us to your safe sender list : thegordianknot2011@gmail.com
If you still do not find anything, please email us, to ensure we are using the right address.
So, I hear we are going to get private forums for discussions with our planetmates, I understand this is going to happen after the next bit of emails with names of said planetmates goes out (as said in the last email), is that so?
That’s the plan so far. Just sorting out the faction informations now, so will be a few days away still.
Yay! I’m looking forward to plotting!
Most of the factions have been sent an email with their other faction members, and have been added to the private forums. Factions not done are Sylvestrar, Fefferburg and The Blake mercenaries.
Note there are also independent characters in the game that don’t get assigned to a faction, so sorry, not everyone gets a diatribe private forum.
I can’t seem to see the private forum for the Camfords. Is that supposed to be happening?
You’ve been added to the group from my point of view.
The private forums are shown at the bottom of the main hosted board, so sometimes people need to scroll down to see them all.
Can anyone in the Camford delegation see the private forum? - no-one else has posted there yet.
I’ve looked a few times and there’s nothing. Just the Chimera GM’s forum, the Teonn Private forums and the support forum.
Sorry, my mistake. There were three groups that I hadn’t added permissions for properly, and Camford was one of them. I’ve fixed them now, so you’ll be able to see the group.
I’m not sure if this is the place to put this, but I’ve been assigned a character aligned with the Dyson Consortium. I don’t mind that I haven’t received my character sheet yet, but I would really appreciate the faction’s costuming directions so I have some time to work out what I should wear, since it’s the main larp I want to be able to put together something good.
Thanks!

Sending them to you now. Sorry for the delay, got a bit sidetracked.
We are in the process of sending out character backgrounds, so you have a chance to read them before Chimera. Don’t panic if you don’t have one yet!
One of us (Hannah, Malu, Prema or me) will post when we’ve completed the send out, and if you haven’t received one at that point then let us know 
Full character sheets will available from the beginning of Chimera, as Hannah said up-thread.
WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!
Love my character sheet, thank you awesome GM’s
Hmmm a license to go nuts, it certainly looks like I’m going to really enjoy myself on this one. Laughs maniacally.
We have finally completed sending out the character backgrounds to all players. Sorry it has taken so long to finish up the last few. Please check your email inboxes and spam folders and let us know if you haven’t got it. Thanks to everyone who has confirmed their attendance - one less thing for us to worry about.
Please let us know as soon as possible of there is any reason you can no longer make it to the game.
We are proofreading our last ten characters this evening, so should be on track to email to everyone their final charactersheet before Chimera, hopefully in the next couple of days.
And look, that might be a light at the end of the tunnel … 
Yaaaaayyyy!!!
/decorum loss.
Hey everybody
You might have heard that the croud behind this have splashed out and hired galactic superstar DJ Finn to spin tunes at the meeting of the Galactic Federation.
This is an unadvertised invitation-only event, but here is a screengrab from a previous concert’s promo to give you an idea of who this character is.

Given security at the event and lack of network connectivity, Finn will be bringing a small cache of music to play from. Requests can be taken up to 36 hours from the time of posting (Finn uses requests to discover unknown music outfits, avoid requesting tracks that everyone knows [color=#FF0000]ooc can also play cued sound effects, you showman[/color]).
Finn says he aims to create a luscious, driving soundscape. A compelling and emotive aural stimulation. The new soundtrack of your interesting and exciting life. Poison riffs to inspire your heart. Beats to set you free. Kinda quietly.
The musician will be available for autographs on the night.
