I know that from experience. I was stringently tied to a chair for 3 hours yesterday because my partner got sidetracked and forgot about me. I was a little sore when she remembered I was helplessly tied and gagged.
Yeah, it's one of those things that is usually where the compromise needs to be made on fantasy vs practicality. Playing at 'fighting' vs actually fighting for one's life (which looks different and is extremely dangerous for what I think are obvious reasons).In other words, cooperate
If most story characters would act as captives, there would be lot more hurting being done. I played (a long time ago) with somebody who was going to on purpose absolutely resist whatever I was going to do to her (tie-up wise). She was a fighter and I ended up with a black eye and some more damage to my body, as it is very hard to subdue somebody who does not want to be tied, especially when 1:1.
Thank you very much for your gracious comment, [mention]slackywacky[/mention]. It is wonderful to read that my values are reflected in spite of a sometimes harsh turn of the storyslackywacky wrote: ↑1 year agoI know that from experience.

Very nice update. It is interesting to see (what I believe to be) your values reflect in the story. Trust and honesty to mention a few. I do believe that ones personality shines through in their stories. Not saying that, for example, Wolfman's stories show him to be a dark person, as trust, family and honesty still shines through. Your stories do the same. It is the underlying feeling that you get from a story.
Good insight, [mention]Beaumains[/mention]. Would Muddy be a 'good' gift?Beaumains wrote: ↑1 year ago And now we see the two story lines merge. Great! What's next? I suspect that Jordan might discover the bondage circle, or will Muddy connect the remaining pieces? If Muddy hates the Creek, she will hate Jordan for being friendly to them. Meanwhile she could also be 'gifted' to him and become friends... So many opportunities.
It is good to have you as a reader and commenter, [mention]sweetvillain[/mention]. I do hope that you continue to enjoy.
Thank you for saying "The tale is evolving nicely", [mention]Caesar73[/mention]. Jordan Archer is establishing himself as a trader with the Bandits.Caesar73 wrote: ↑1 year ago Good to see, Jordan embracing his life. It seems that was the right decision. Also the first contact with the Bandits has wen´t welll. All in all, the future seems to hold brighter prospects for Jordan. And it will be interesting how the relations between the Bandits and Jordan will unfold.
I bet Johanssons will go mead, when he learns that Jordan has left with all his possessions
The tale is evolving nicely
Welcome to the story, [mention]charliesmith[/mention]. When you get caught up, you might click on my banner and give The Bandit Scout on Newhome a try. It happens 400 years in the future from the time of the Colony's arrival but back fills a lot of the story. I am trying to make this as self contained as I can.
Thanks, [mention]BlissfulMisery[/mention]. Perhaps your thoughts will trigger others. We'll see.BlissfulMisery wrote: ↑1 year ago Hey,
Was away a while, but caught up now. Interesting chapters.
I have to second Ceasar's comments on Johansson's probable reaction. Although that gets into the muddy waters of 'legality' (especially with the current situation in the colony making the future of the society uncertain) and what he will do. I could imagine the incident being the spark (ie him showing up in force to try to 'take what is rightfully his' from Jordan) for the seemingly inevitable conflict between the colonists and natives, as the Creek might take issue to his trespass.
Of course it could go many other ways.

But then again, it's kind of what all this is about, the carefully crafted illusions, the play/pretend. One way to look at it/see it/angle to see it from, it's just adults being children again.
Bratty/CNC type dynamics like that can be 'dangerous' in other ways too, not just physically. Can make it harder to communicate/understand what is going on in the other person's head. Requires threading carefully and being even more upfront then usual from both sides of the coin.
But maybe that is part of the fun, the somewhat mindbending, backwards nature of it all.
And sorry for going on a bit of a tangent about a random comment, I know I took this much further then the original post ever implied. Don't mean to seem like I'm overanalyzing things that aren't actually there, was more just the direction it triggered my thoughts to go in
Nothing wrong with that. It was interesting to read your thoughts. Not many people share them, so this was a nice fresh look. Thanks!
I, too, hope you will succeed. Thank you for posting.sweetvillain wrote: ↑1 year ago All very nice, congratulations. Im sorry to not to be able to write more, I very busy and also very "similar" to Misery, I like to go into the depth of things and imagine alternative metaverses. I hope to succeed. Hello
I'm actually not so sure about that. Muddy has been pretty consistent in thinking the Colonists are a problem, and more critically, that the solution is violence. Of course it could turn into a story of them being forced together by circumstances, and her coming to 'know the enemy', but I have a feeling if that happens, it will be quite a rough start between the two characters (To be honest I can imagine Jordan having to tie up Muddy for his own safety, so more excuses to have more TUGs).Caesar73 wrote: ↑1 year ago Why do I have the feeling that the spirits will lead Jordan and Muddy together - they would be the perfect match. In a way they both are outsiders. And as the chief pointed out to Jordan: It will be not impossible for him to court a creek woman, but it seems unlikely at the time - so I think the gods may have plans for the two
Interesting! And you've certainly got a point when commenting Samuel's reaction.BlissfulMisery wrote: ↑1 year ago ... (To be honest I can imagine Jordan having to tie up Muddy for his own safety, so more excuses to have more TUGs)...
You have point And I don´t think it will, if it comes to pass, love on first sight. Probably the opposite. But they have one thing in common. Both are, in their own way outsiders. Jordan tying up Muddy for his own safety? I can imagine that very will.BlissfulMisery wrote: ↑1 year ago

Thank you, [mention]Caesar73[/mention]. An excellent from you means a lot. I will insert more music as the story progresses, not all of it classical. The crossbows will continue to be a major factor in this story. And the bots will also continue to play a role.Caesar73 wrote: ↑1 year ago Why do I have the feeling that the spirits will lead Jordan and Muddy together - they would be the perfect match.

It was a pleasure to read how Jordan gets settled in the Glen, how he builts himself a knew life - even a lonely one. And it becomes plainer in this chapter, why this story is called "Tale of an Archer" - Jordans becomes a bowmaker and a proficient shooter himself - maybe not Robon Hood - yet
The bots seem to be a great help to Jordan, and that he likes classical music speaks for him - the Schubert is an excellent choice. That´s just me, but I think your choice matches the atmosphere of the the first paragraphs.
Maddie did Jordan a great service that she enhanced the programming of the bots. That programming makes them even more useful for Jordan than they already were.
All in all? Excellent
Thank you, [mention]slackywacky[/mention]. But you wound me to the core. When have I ever thrown a spanner in the works?slackywacky wrote: ↑1 year agoDuh!
But you never know, GreyLord might throw a spanner in the works. Great update (again).
The pace will pick up, [mention]BlissfulMisery[/mention]. Don't doubt that the Chief has his own agenda. I appreciate your comments.BlissfulMisery wrote: ↑1 year ago A bit of a slow burn at the moment in the story, but it is kind of required at the moment to bridge the gap to the next set of major events.

To be honest Samuel's answer seemed a little mealy-mouthed, but it is likely he was surprised by the question.

Yes, he does want too much, too quick. But remember, he is almost entirely alone, cut off from human contact. To survive on a frontier, one cannot hold on to grief and not move on with life.
Indeed, that is a foreshadowing. You have picked the right thread. Thank you for commenting, [mention]Beaumains[/mention].
It was our intent to offer a lot of red meat to facilitate the pivot away from Kennedy and Jordan's tragedies there. Jordan just doesn't know what to make of Muddy.
That is the way I thought things should happen. But when have politicians ever done anything that makes sense? Even fantasy fiction cannot overcome that reality.
No, Muddy is not going to be delighted. But this is fiction and strange things can happen.
Was away and unable to keep reading/comment for a while, so apologies for that.
These are very keen observations, if I may say so, and these remarks should be kept in mind.Caesar73 wrote: ↑1 year ago ... She has a plan: First to learn all she can from Jordan and the robots. That this is not love at first sight was pretty clear. Muddy´s approach, luring Jordan into safety and learning from him all she can, is a sound approach and she tells herself not to underestimate him.
The last paragraph brought a change of scene as of tone: We learn who is calling the shots in the colony - and it is not the Admiral.
It is as if our protagonists are swept along by the tide of events unknowingly, [mention]Caesar73[/mention]. It is possible that Muddy has heart and we all know that our hearts can take us in directions that our minds would not.

I'm delighted that you are reading our story, [mention]charliesmith[/mention]. Thank you very much for posting. Your comment reminds me of myself just a little over a year ago. I suddenly found myself at the beginning of long, wonderful stories by [mention]slackywacky[/mention], [mention]wolfman[/mention], and others. It was heady to discover such a wealth of new material.charliesmith wrote: ↑1 year ago I still haven't caught up to the end, but enjoying every chapter so far
