Kosciusko - Silver Brumby RPG

Kosciusko (pronounced kozzy-os-ko but affectionatly known as "Kossy") is an Australian outback RPG based on the Silver Brumby by Elyne Mitchell. Primarily a brumby (feral horse) RPG you can also play any other Australian wildlife! You're also allowed a limited number of men with their domestic animals. We're based on the idea of the Silver Brumby series but we provide all the information you need to play. We do not support canon characters here, we're set after their stories, but their legends live on and they are often mentioned. New members, check out the rules before joining a character. We'll see you in the outback!	29/10/09 -- Hah! Spot the difference ^_^ Hope you like the new skin guys, let me know if you spot any bugs =) 22/06/09 -- Again, the rules got a bit of an update. This time it's the way fights work. No if a stallion has less than half of the points of the stallion they are challange, they will definitely lose. I've also updated the board descriptions a little as well as adding a few new boards, so speak up if you notice a typo! 04/02/09 -- Updated the rules a smidgen. Nothing major, just tidying them up and adding a few clarifications. Please re-read when you have a spare moment =) 24/01/09 -- Had a bit of an affiliates cleanout. If I've deleted your banner by accident and it has been active this year, then feel free to repost the request =) 23/01/09 -- I've tidied up a few of the administration boards! The "Order of the Outback" board has been updated and mixed around so you're welcome to have a look at that. I also reorganised the Character Creation boards, but I realised a little too late that any links to brumby or critter profiles will now be broken -- oops! You'll have to relink any of those, sorry for the inconvenience! 20/01/09 -- A bit of a few slow-news months!! Anyhow, hoping you're all liking the the new skin! I've added a bit of a feature as you can see to the right. Thats what the gang-gangs are gossiping about. If anything happened in the game that would become common knowledge, PM me (Tiggs) and I'll plonk it up there. 02/06/08 -- I've added a little to the rules under "Activity". I'm sure I had it written down before but apparently not! I've also cleaned out a few accounts and moved the inactive characters to the archive. 02/05/08 -- Tingara has taken the position of the King after the last ruler's disappearence! 10/03/08 -- Aleo is now King of the High Country! Congratulations! 03/03/08 -- Updated the rules on Breeding a little. Please vote in the poll in the OOC section =) 06/02/08 -- Kosciusko is BACK! I've reset all the boards and moved any profiles that were made previous to 2008 to an archieve. If you're a returning member, just copy the forms you've made and re-post them for acceptance.

It's just a suggestion, and no one is denying that the moderating team hasn't done a great job with the site. It would just be interesting to expand on the pre-existing areas and give some more options to members.

And also, I'm not sure on that point. I'm going to have to read the book to see if it says so. I thought that their capturing of fillies was symbolic of something bad occurring.

New locations will definitely be added =) I'm not sure as we'll go as far as the Moonfillies and Nightrunners (I only have the first six books, so I'm not familiar with the Nightrunners) but I think once we have a few more members and a couple more herds, we'll expand to cover some of the Brolga's areas and other locations mentioned in the first one or two books. I think spreading too far afield will make some odd time lapses, eg covering a week's travel in a matter of hours.

So yeah, if we pick a few favourite locations from the first book that aren't here already, then when we have some more members we'll add them in so stallions aren't running into each other so often =)

I actually like that we cover a smaller area and that our stallions are running in to each other a lot.. I mean what's the point of role play if there's no interaction. XD

It should be less worried about covering every location in the book and just making sure each location is different and serves a different purpose.
There's large grazing areas, a large lake, a swamp, rocky areas, a snowy area, men friendly areas. etc etc.
I hope I'm getting my point across..

I've read the books years and years ago and while I remember some basic points, it's still been years and the appeal of this place is the fact that i'm not expected to know and that when things come up I don't have to search for a long explanation at what this person is playing or referring to. (the genetics aren't helping since I'm not interested enough in the mechanics of 'if these two horses get it on, these combinations of letters will mean that the foal looks like this')

We don't want to scare off new players by making so many references to the book that they decide they can't play unless they read em.

I believe you are right in your suggestion Illu. Why not have the brumby country to the south? If you do not wish to play that area of the high-country, then by all means, stick to the original places. But there is no reason why people who have spent their time reading the series, and enjoying it, can't indulge in the extra, lush areas, provided by Elyne Mitchell's wonderful stories. This is a realistic horse roleplay, they can't go a certain amount of miles south then meet a brick wall, can they? Use your initiative and allow people the free rein, bad pun, to roleplay where, and as they wish. This may also allow a more realistic feel to the game, instead of having a lot of horses cooped up in one area of the bush.
