WAR TABLE ASSIGNMENT: CREW CLUB

[katabasis]

FORCES ASSIGNMENT: CREW CLUB

WHAT: A forces-mandatory training for learning the basics of boat vs boat combat (IC announcement is here.) There will be three components to training:

• basic seamanship (learning lines, knots, etc, the general principles of sailing, identifying who you should listen to and when to get out of the way of the real sailors, SWIMMING...)
  
• naval warfare (how to operate the myriad of offensive and defensive tools aboard a ship)
  
• Flint's School for Gifted Rifterwatchers for mages and those with anchors which will focus on utilizing their magic and/or anchor abilities in naval combat.

This is mostly in the interest of a) getting to do some wacky boat stuff, and b) I plan to do more boat- and boat-related hijinks in the not too distant future and want to give you all an excuse to have your characters know enough to be dangerous.

HOW: While ICly mandatory (for members of Forces), there are two IC "sessions"; one will be for players who want to actually write the thing, and the other will be for anyone who wants to handwave. You don't have to sign-up to handwave; if you don't participate in the sign-ups below, we'll all just assume it happened/you're welcome to use this as a CR/gossip/whatever tool for your own play.

For those interested in playing, this log will feature two basic components: a general mingle log, and team based training.

WHO: Forces Division (ICly required), Mages, anyone with an anchor shard. Boat people also welcome.

WHEN: Sandwhiching this in in early June, ideally before mod plot. Sign-ups are due by EOD 1/1. Log will go up by 1/4. If there's any reporting on this, I'll file it so no worries about paperwork.
