Two questions, well, two and a half.

One, where's the plot up to time wise? I'm trying to figure out where The Charlatan and any works leading off that might fit but I'm only up to the Winter Assault in the archives so I know it's post that, but are any other dates I should avoid preceding?

Two, what is the insignia for a sergeant in Metamor's standing army. There's lots of detail on everyone else, but what about the rank and file? And in that vein is there a sergeant going free, I could use one to train one of my characters.

It depends on whose plot you are concerned about. My current stories are taking place in January - February of 708, which puts it over a year after Winter Assault. Of course, a LOT has happened in my plot arc since then. Others are still operating in Fall of 707. It really depends on what you want to do and what you want to know.

It's a good idea to read more of the archives as there is a lot of good stuff there.

As for the insignia, I recall some sort of ranks being defined a while back, but I never paid attention to it myself.

I have a Sergeant Dallar. He's a ram morph, but his usual posting is in the dungeons where he keeps a watch on the prisoners, provides some company for Roscoe, or smokes his pipe. Not sure if he's who you're looking for.

The present time frame is a bit wide. Matt is doing stories set in January 708 but quite a few are doing stories set as far back as September 707. You can do a story set whenever you want. It just needs to fit in with the already written stuff. So I agree with Matt in that you best read more of the archive.

The ranking and such in the MK military is complex. Look here: http://mkworld.wikidot.com/military:organization-and-ranking
For a sergents rank it would be on the soldiers sleeve and consist of 1, 2 or 3 swords depending on their exact rank.

There are several pages dedicated just to the MK military. http://mkworld.wikidot.com/org:military
Hope this helps.

Right, autumn/winter 707 sounds like the right time then and I'll probably just make up a sergeant. Thanks!

Oh, and I'm reading as fast as I can :D

Most of them go fairly quickly, but Matt likes to write long ones. WA is a long collaboration, but Last Tale of Yajakali by Matt is twice as long. Have fun. ;)
