Chapter 1 OOC discussion

[E1Alpha]

Just to keep everything clean and organised, I'm putting up a seperate OOC thread for chapter 1.

Feel free to discuss, ask or comment about anything happening in the battles for chapter 1!

For easy reference, here's the list of battle threads:

Battle for the Ilean Mountains (http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=33262)
Battle for Cayanas (http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=33265)
Defense of the Lion Woods (http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=33264)
Paladin Grove Infiltration (http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=33266)

[P.K.]

I think chapter one is going well don't you? :3

[E1Alpha]

Indeed. I am very satsified with Lion Woods and Paladin Grove. Cayanas is going a bit slower, but it's going at a good pace.
Really a shame about Atrum's activity in the Ilean Mountains.
If he misses three posts in a row, his character will be dropped from the battle, which means Firanos will basicly lose any chance of winning that round.

[P.K.]

och hope he comes back even though it would make it that much easier for my side XD

BTW Karrha is unsure wither she should be insulted at being compared to a man or amused. X3

[E1Alpha]

...
BAH! Did I misstype again? D: I'll look to editing it later

[P.K.]

lol no no don't XD I men there are three men with her so ya XD I just thought it was funny

I mean maybe he didn't notice there was a women in the small crowed buts its amusing and I plan on using that so don't change it XD

[E1Alpha]

xD Alright

[P.K.]

Yay! i get to have fun teasing the steel will and possibly dieing for it. XD I'm already having to much fun.

[E1Alpha]

Glad to hear :D That's what I was aiming at for with this ^^

[P.K.]

Well your doing a good job :3

As for now I well be vamoshing OwO need to go fill up water balloons and load them up for Saturday I'll check back when I get some done.

[Kris]

This section as been featured in this week's roleplays of the week (http://role-player.net/forum/site.php)

[Jacogos]

Indeed. I am very satsified with Lion Woods and Paladin Grove. Cayanas is going a bit slower, but it's going at a good pace.

*loves how I'm in both of the battles he's satisfied with ^.^*


This section as been featured in this week's roleplays of the week (http://role-player.net/forum/site.php)

Love you, too, Kris :D

[E1Alpha]

*loves how I'm in both of the battles he's satisfied with ^.^*

Yeah, well... You're amazing to roleplay against, especially in the Paladin Grove infiltration.

[Jacogos]

You'll probably be doing a lot of infiltrations with me, just sayin' xD

One of them is going to be a head-hunt for CF's turncoat *stare*

[P.K.]

CF has a turn coat? O-o

I know I do but... did I miss something?!

[Jacogos]

CF's charry just betrayed Aeregos in the events of [BF] Cayanas.

[P.K.]

how? O-o
so confused I'm not reading all the other thread BTW >.>

[Cfavano]

only if I let you infiltrate against me XD infiltration is only PVE not PVP XD

[Cfavano]

It's because i'm awesome like that

[Jacogos]

I can always call for a duel...

[Eddren]

...Can I at least get an unofficial battle until Chapter Two?

[Jacogos]

Go join an Arena battle, Edd. I'll fight ya there, if you wish.

[E1Alpha]

Eddren. If you want to start anything unofficial, it's all yours. No need to ask me anything, just keep the rules in mind and enjoy rocking the living shit against whoever you're fighting.

Cf. Jacogos has all the freedom he wants to challenge you. Denying that challenge grants a penalty to your faction. Just so you know. Also. Seeing as you are an active turncoat in the midst of the project (not a pre-project turncoat like P.K. for example), you will not only have Jacogos' character hunting you. You can count on it you'll be pitted against another of Aeregos' commanders at some point.

[P.K.]

oh gosh XD I read some of what happened I understand. He switched sides in middle of battle.
Okay I'm not so confused anymore but hey don't feel bad CF XD Karrha might be hunted to soon enough.

[Jacogos]

Oh count on it, Pichu :P

[Cfavano]

and I can refuse. Zilong isn't really a 'lone wolf' kinda guy. you should know that XD

- - - Updated - - -

and, really, he made the right choice. Kaburi is a proud idiot XD. I think

[Eddren]

Personally, I wonder if Dez will come into any trouble with Archeos. I mean, beside the stolen books, he really didn't impact them in much of any way shaped or formed.

[P.K.]

Oh count on it, Pichu :P

I do XD

[Preach]

Oh I hope people duel others soon, I'm really eager for that to happen (no sadism intended). Also, is there a difference between this OOC and the "a new beginning" OOC? Is that a 'general' OOC while this one is specific to Chapter 1?

[Cfavano]

how do y'all like my last post? as I heard this was the ending

[E1Alpha]

@preach
Got that right. The new beginning OOC was sort of the OOC-to-get-things-in-motion
This one is specifically for things from this chapter.

@Cf
Your one character becomes a defector. Your other assaults a squire within the enemy's borders.
I hope for you Disgeran comes out as the winner in the battlefield, otherwise Mildred is gonna get a wanted death aswell.

[Preach]

Does it matter which we use? Should we direct our chatter to a specific thread?

[Jacogos]

So the judges for Lion Woods (and every other Ch1 thing) are Merry, Storm, and Auki, right?

[P.K.]

better start appealing to their better nature eh? XD

[E1Alpha]

Yep.

I have just sent the lot of them a PM.
Don't bother them if their judging isn't in within the next days or so.
If anyone is gonna bother them, it's me.

There, just wanted to get that out there.

Also. Any criticisms, advice and such will be linked through to you all. But all judgings will be anonymous unless the judge decides otherwise.
To keep things fair, because I participated in the battle, I will let their votes count as more than my own.

@preach
Well, it's prefered that you keep chatter that has nothing to do with this chapter in the other thread. But that's about it.

[Eddren]

I'm not sure how you could possibly be unfair. You fought on both sides.

[P.K.]

on all three in my case XD

[E1Alpha]

I don't like to take risks, though. In any case. With three other judges, the most deserving winner should come out no problem.

[Cfavano]

actually, he didn't assault her, he stole her body. what is left of the old body is now a puddle of goo. He is now the squire for now. His next act is to use her memory to go to her village and kill everyone there, which finally cements his control over her and completes the transformation. as of right now, he controls her body, but retains her appearance and voice. to anyone (even something that can detect evil) she appears to be a normal person

[Eddren]

Evil, evil, stab stab stab! Evil, evil, make those innocents into meaty little slabs!

[Cfavano]

partly that, and, also imagine this. Someone forces you to kill everyone you ever loved, as well as all of your friends. And you can't stop. you see them die, you FEEL them die. How does that affect you?

[Eddren]

If you want to retain your faith in humanity, I'd not ask that question again. ^^

[Cfavano]

oh, humanity is shit, I know that. in the words of protoman 'if they deserve life, let them stand for themselves'

[Jacogos]

CF and Eddren, you two scare me. And I'm pretty sure it's only because of the interaction between you two in these OOC chats xD

[Eddren]

Oh? We scare you? Two people who watch My Little Pony, and are intimidated by a pony with a purple and blue color-scheme? *Nudges CF*

[Cfavano]

yup.

[E1Alpha]

The Imposter has been granted a 24 hour extension, because he "foolishly comitted to helping a friend out with a wedding."

You get in trouble with marriage, even if it isn't your own, eh?

[Cfavano]

yup. girls, nothing but trouble. a sensible man would stay away from 'em XD

[Eddren]

I guess that's why all my characters are psychotic.

[Cfavano]

no, that is another discussion entirely XD. And, E1, did Nayamee like the gift she got?

[Eddren]

Hey, why are we not posting? We still have roleplaying to do.

[Cfavano]

not me XD I'm watiting

- - - Updated - - -

oh, edd, I forgot to ask, do you have an op? don't tell me you ponified dez XD. there is an MLP rp on here.

[Eddren]

Inversed Scratch. He's...Um...A pony-TYPE-OC.

[Cfavano]

really. since we're on the subject, who would win in these 3 fights

Dez vs. Nightmare Moon
Dez vs, Discord
Dez vs. Chrysalis

[Eddren]

That's a trick question. Dez would manipulate all three of them into giving him their powers, then create a race above Alicorns.

However, if he HAD to beat them, that's simple:
Nightmare Moon(She's only beatable by the Elements of Harmony, which Dez is most certainly NOT)
Dez(Come on. Most of Discords' abilities turn people into inverses of themselves. An Inverse of Dez would be a greater good than Celestia.)
Dez(Chrysalis? That's not even a challenge. He loves no-one. He care about no-one. The only thing she could do is turn into pure power and be absorbed by him.)

[Cfavano]

okay then. You remember kares, right?

Dez vs Neissa

[Cfavano]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=U61_y8aLk1o

[Eddren]

Can't remember, was Neissa that one creepy little girl?

Anyhow, SO! MUCH! PINKIE PIE!

[Cfavano]

you could say that, yes XD. and yes, imagine if there were that many of her.

[Jacogos]

What does this have to do with Chapter 1? The other OOC is for the 'chatter' guys...

Point in case, I'm working on posting, Edd. It ain't the only post I'm lagging on, so forgive me xD

[Eddren]

If there were a million Pinkies, I'd be happy.

I don't think they'd really fight all that much. I mean, it'd be the equivalent of Ren and Neissa fighting. It just doesn't happen. Speaking of Ren, I haven't played Halo with him in a while..

[E1Alpha]

Do I have to slap someone for this?

GET THAT OFFTOPIC CHATTER TO THE OTHER THREAD! *swings chainsaw-shovel*

[Cfavano]

who is ren?

- - - Updated - - -

hey, E1, how are ya?

[Eddren]

Hey, now. It WAS, at one point, quite on-topic. >.> Since CERTAIN PEOPLE keep not posting on their battlefield.

[E1Alpha]

No excuse, Eddy

And don't be impatient, please. The other people that are participating have their lives too.
Imposter had warned me he might not be able to make it, so I granted him an extension.

[Eddren]

I'm only impatient because Imposter took the time for the character, yet decided to skimp on the forum post.

[Jacogos]

So yeah, I'm impatient and I wish to know: how is the Judging on Lion Woods coming? :D

If the answer comes with a penalty towards Disgeran, then its not worth it to know o.o

[E1Alpha]

DISGERAN LOSES THANKS TO JACOGOS!!!

How's that for a penalty?

In all seriousness. You'll hear it when the judging is done

[Jacogos]

DISGERAN LOSES THANKS TO JACOGOS!!!

How's that for a penalty?

In all seriousness. You'll hear it when the judging is done

I almost cried T.T

I'll be patient. :|

[P.K.]

I almost cried T.T


awwwww J -huggles-

[P.K.]

There is my post _-_ though it is very small... </3

[Jacogos]

Its okay, it was still good considering.

With this last one down, that means Ch 2 is all the more closer :D

Jaco is happy ^.^

[Eddren]

I'd say it's even imminent!

[P.K.]

lol thank you J <3

[Atrum Daemon]

Apologies. I've been incredibly sick this past week and haven't had the mental ability to get anything done.

[P.K.]

Hope your feeling better! D:

[Jacogos]

Same! You are an inspiration to us all, Atrum D:

WE NEED YOU.

[P.K.]

yay! our battles done!

Need to finish the co-op story but need some feed back E! OwO

[Preach]

Hope you feel better soon, Atrum.

Are all the battles undergoing judgement now? Nothing is "active" apart from that Jac/Edd fight, right?

[Jacogos]

You'd be right, preach. Now to await judgement and Ch 2 :D

[Eddren]

And right now, Jac and I are discussing the mechanics behind Dezeroths' magic. ^^

[P.K.]

Oh this should be interesting O-o

[Cfavano]

how much longer till the judges are done, blarg!

[The Imposter]

Wow, has this always been here? Secondly do we know who the judges are? Are we allowed to know?

[Jacogos]

They were stated in the sign-up thread, in the original post. Not the Character Sheet/ Warriors thread, but the Ch 1 Battles Announcement thing.

[E1Alpha]

The judges for this chapter are Rarity, Merry Gentry, Storm and me.
Just so you all know.
Also, I did mention I don't want to have anyone bugging about the judges taking their time.
I think we'd all prefer a GOOD judging over a hurried one.

[Cfavano]

I know, I know. Oh, I got a job now

[The Imposter]

I just wanted to know who they were so I can bribe them...I mean give generously to rpa to keep it running under their names....I mean get them to turn a blind eye at my errors in the BF by giving them things they want....I mean...um.

I think chap.1 turned out pretty fantastical. Now I'mma go change my sig by stealing E1's

[P.K.]

lol Imposter.
Can't wait :P

E! I still need feed back on my PM!

[Jacogos]

My Realms Sig is in the spoiler :D

I actually think some people look there every so often :O

[Cfavano]

I looked once. He, E1, can I have a cyborg in this? XD

- - - Updated - - -

I already figured out how to work it into it

[E1Alpha]

... Okay, no. A cyborg I'm going to have to give a definate 'Not gonna happen'.
You can make a magic empowered golem like The Guardian or Vanguard, but be reasonable with it.
I do not want anything out of place here.

[Jacogos]

Besides, no one's decided that we're getting a third character choice anyway xD

[Cfavano]

XD haha.

- - - Updated - - -

figured I'd ask

[Eddren]

Hey, would it be possible for me to make an amorphous Leongarde character? I.E. He has the ability to sort of control where his lion appearance is?
For clarification, he is incapable of ever looking fully human. There is a set amount of his body that will always look lionesque. For instance, if he had, say, a mane. He could return the mane to his normal appearance, but would instead have a tail. Or he could pop the mane back into his body, but end up with one arm that goes into the paw of a lion.
That is, of course, all hypothetical.

[Cfavano]

so, he's a Felithrope?

[Eddren]

M'kay, maybe you've mistaken the idea: I'm not having a guy that turns INTO a man-lion, I'm having a guy who's ALWAYS a man-lion, but only in certain parts. And those parts differ from time to time.

[Cfavano]

What about warforged, E1? For those of you who do not know what a warforged is:

The warforged are a race of living, sentient constructs, superficially similar to golems. Warforged are composed of a blend of materials: predominantly stone, wood, and some type of metal. In Eberron, they were created by House Cannith in magical 'creation forges' to fight in the Last War, based on technology recovered from Xen'drik. When the Last War ended, they were given their freedom at the Treaty of Thronehold. Though they have free will, whether they have a soul is not known with certainty; they can be resurrected by spells designed to restore human souls to life, but, unlike humans, never remember anything of their experience in the afterlife after such an event.

While they have no biological sex, warforged may adopt a gender role as part of their individual personality. They do not age as the other races do, and it is not known what effects time will have on them. It is generally assumed that, like all living creatures, their bodies must experience degradation over time. Like other races, warforged may take levels in any character class.

Racial qualities and adjustments of the warforged were published in the Eberron Campaign Setting and later reprinted in Monster Manual III. Warforged are produced with their own armor and have various immunities, including to poison and disease. Healing spells have reduced effect on warforged, but a series of repair spells work fully on them.

[E1Alpha]

@Eddren
That is perfectly legit for a Leongarde character, seeing as there is an NPC in them that is also a full-fledged half lion

@Cfavano
Warforged sounds a lot better to me than a damn cyborg. But keep in mind, I do not want player characters that are just as strong as the invincible NPCs. Remember that the NPCs are supposed to be a challenge. There's only one way I'd let a character become just as strong as the invincible NPCs, and that's through IC means and rewards.
If you're gonna make a warforged, keep it legit on account of strength.
Reason I'm being so harsh on you: You already have Mildred. That should explain enough.

[Cfavano]

XD. Don't worry, warforged can be killed just as easily as a human. They are just usually stronger. if I am correct, in 3.5, they have a weakness to water, I'a get more stats

[Cfavano]

Construct (living construct)
+2 Con, -2 Wis, -2 Cha: Warforged are sturdy, but were created with little sense of personal identity.
Medium: Warforged are Medium creatures and have no bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Normal Speed: Warforged have a base speed of 30 feet.
Light Fortification: Whenever a sneak attack or critical hit is scored against a warforged, there is a 25% chance that the extra damage is negated and damage is rolled normally.
Composite Body: Warforged bodies are composed of stone, metal and wood, and thus are vulnerable to effects which target creatures composed of these substances, like heat metal, repel wood, and the rust monster's rusting touch. Spells which target objects only (such as stone shape) have no effect on a warforged.
Slam: Warforged gain a slam attack as a primary natural weapon, dealing 1d4 points of damage.
Focused Training: Warforged gain a +2 bonus to one skill, and treat that skill as a class skill for all classes.
Endurance: Warforged receive Endurance as a bonus feat. Note that living constructs do not eat, drink or breathe, and cannot become fatigued.
Plating: Warforged bodies are usually fitted with reinforced plating which replicates one type of mundane armor. The choice of whether to fit a warforged with such plating is made at 1st level, after which it cannot be added or removed. The warforged does not need to pay for this plating any more than a human needs to pay for their skin, and it does not count against his encumbrance (though it may still reduce his speed). Due to its integration with its wearer, plating is treated as masterwork armor; in addition its arcane spell failure is reduced by 10% and its Armor Check Penalty by 2, while its maximum Dex bonus is increased by 1. Plating may not be constructed of special materials unless you select the appropriate [Warforged] feat at 1st level, though you may have it enchanted afterwards (the warforged must be present at all times while his body is enchanted).

[Eddren]

I'll admit, every time I see J's thread third, I get a little disappointed.

[P.K.]

Thread third?
and why?

[Jacogos]

I'll admit, every time I see J's thread third, I get a little disappointed.

I second her questioning of what the fuck this means xD

[The Imposter]

Obviously Edd means the positioning of the threads in the line up...duuuuuh, psssh and you call yourself The Overmind!

[Jacogos]

What line up.....? D:

The Overmind has lost touch with his cerebral cortex.

[Eddren]

...
What happens whenever a Thread gets an update?

[Jacogos]

.... When a thread gets an update? You mean like someone posts in it?

[Eddren]

*Waits for the brain to complete the correlation*

[Jacogos]

Okay, I get THAT now.

Now will you be more specific as to which thread is third on which list?! D:

[Eddren]

How many threads belong to 'J' on the list?

[Jacogos]

WHICH LIST?!?!?

http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs39/f/2008/366/9/4/Atomic_explosion_by_rsx1988.jpg

[Eddren]

I only ever check one list. I don't care about the rest of this site, nor do I visit it.

[Jacogos]

.....

If you're talking about the Sparring Match....

1. Its fourth on the list.

2. I posted last. Unless you feel there's no need for you to post your character's death or miraculous revival, all I can do is close out with something dramatic and ask E1 to notify someone to move it to the Historical section.

3. WHY YOU NO LOOK AT REST OF RPA? MUCH FUN TO BE HAD IF YOU TRY.

[Eddren]

Dez has no reason to be anything other than dead. You already posted his death.

[Jacogos]

Technically I posted "he plunged his sword TOWARDS his neck" so... miraculous recovery... xD

I kid. I'll go finish something out and give E1 a poke.

[P.K.]

EDD! you must look more at RPA OWO
MUST!

[Eddren]

I really don't care about it. This is about the only kind of roleplay I actually like, with the exception of one other, which, if need be, I may or may not personally host.

[P.K.]

What this one other be?

[Cfavano]

sparkle sparkle sparkle!

[Eddren]

Purely adventure-types. Usually a darker setting, a little more gruesome.

[Jacogos]

You'd be surprised how common those are around here. At least give them a look, we're not making you join any of them xD

[P.K.]

must agree with J :3

[Eddren]

The problem is that I don't care about those at the moment, nor am I particularly inclined to change that any time soon.

[Jacogos]

At least give them a look.

We're not making you join any of them.

*scritch*

At least give them a look.

We're not making you join any of them.

*scritch*


At least give them a look.

We're not making you join any of them.

*scritch*


At least give them a look.

We're not making you join any of them.

*scritch*

Oh who left this damn thing on? *breaks the record*

[P.K.]

Lol J you did O-o

[Cfavano]

he misses his friend Maxdom. Now, that was a man who could make a good gore-fest that was both over-the-top and and not, at the same time. He's a lot like you J, only better XD (jk)

[Jacogos]

He's a lot like you J, only better XD

Dude, story of my life xD

[Eddren]

You know, now that we've finished that battle, and Dezeroth has lost, I want them to face off in the REAL battlefield. :P Because I have a PLAN!!

[Jacogos]

Well that's gonna be a while, with Dez in Scaravus and Kaizan in Aeregos, on the complete OPPOSITE ends of the continent from each other xD

[E1Alpha]

Just a little update to you all.
Slowly but surely, I am getting all the judgings together.
But ofcourse, the end of the summer holidays are a busy period for everyone.
There's just a few more judgings I am waiting for. Once those are in, I will compare them all to my judging and add up the numbers. It won't be too long anymore until it's done.

[Eddren]

When they meet, it is quite possible that the heavens and the earth will-literally-meet, by the way. XP And possibly not against one of those two.

[Jacogos]

Yaaaaaay! My excitement abounds :D

No really. Can't you feel my anxiety oozing from this post? *stare*

[P.K.]

Sadly J no I can't XD

[Eddren]

Oh, also, I think I've built the system for the roleplay I may/may not decide to make. I don't know why I keep throwing this idea around. I like it; it works off of the 'The character can only fight as well as the player' type system. Including for magic, which is really fun, because as a Mage, you actually HAVE to experiment.

[Preach]

Hmmm any idea what the plot would be, Edd?

[P.K.]

sounds intresting.

[E1Alpha]

Guys. I think you're forgetting something. *points to the title of the thread*
TAKE THIS TO THE OTHER THREAD NUMBNUTS

[Jacogos]

What E1 said *shakes his Overmind cane at the whippersnappers*

[E1Alpha]

Judging for the Lion Woods is complete. I will post the judge commentary in the Chapter 1 Concluding thread once the Ilean Mountains have been finished aswell. I am waiting for one more judging for those.

Preach and Jacogos can post one final time in the Lion Woods battle to conclude their fight. I don't see that necessary for Cfavano as he has already left the battlefield.

EDIT:
I received the final judging I needed, so the Ilean Mountains battle has also been concluded. Everyone participating in it may post once more, but you do not have to respect the posting order as none of you are interacting with eachother.

[P.K.]

Awww we lost. ~ anyways I'll get a post up and then suppose I should get to work on that after math story?

- - - Updated - - -

Awww we lost. ~ anyways I'll get a post up and then suppose I should get to work on that after math story?

[Eddren]

Now--Question. If I were to finish an Inf, could I afterward make a military movement, acting on such information?

[Preach]

Question: Since his is the final post of the battle before the judging is announced, should our characters disengage and go their separate ways (since the battle has pretty much ended) or should they keep going at it? Or does it not matter?

[The Imposter]

Question thriced: Soul orb absorbing...does G'wain get to take the Iron Mask's, speaking of is the general's body fit for the pillaging. I think his helm would be a pretty good gift to the King....not to mention G'wain is a necrophiliac.


Kidding, or am I? For real though I only want to ask a question because everyone else was. I was just going to post and then wait to be told what to change if anything....buuuut everyone else was asking la questions.

[E1Alpha]

@Eddren
Player characters can only make minor military decissions (Infiltrations and Assaults). The battlefields can only be decided by the NPCs and the GMs controlling them.
But the results of Infiltrations can ofcourse spur NPCs to plan specific moves. Don't think that your action are not going to affect anything.

For example, Jacogos will be sure to get in a lot of trouble with Archeos, as far as having one of the commander NPCs chase him down personally. Why? Because he raided a very important shrine of Archeos.

@preacharound
It is your decission what your characters do. You can try to disengage, you can post a glorious and gore-filled death, ... it's your choice. But keep in mind for your character specifically: ALL the Leongardian forces are falling back. Meaning that if you stay and fight, you'll be in the middle of the Disgeran troops. And don't forget that both Cretoris and Verminathras are also still there.
Even though character death is not permanent unless you wish it to be, try to go about your final post realistically.

@The Imposter
Once more, the concept of the Soul Orb is misunderstood. Avertus or G'wain neither have a Soul Orb. The Soul Orb is ONE artifact in possession of each faction leader. If someone blessed with the soul orbs is slain, they are revived (players) or the power is returned to the orb (NPCs).
Aside from that however, you are free to do with Avertus' corpse as you please. You can take his head, take his weapon, you can strip him naked and rape his dead body on the top of a cliff, it's all your choice.
Certain decissions of what you do with the body might affect more than you think, though, but I'm not going to spoil anything there.

[Jacogos]

you can strip him naked and rape his dead body on the top of a cliff, it's all your choice.

Even though he said he was kidding xDxDxD

[Eddren]

That's actually what I was thinking, E. Something along the lines of Dez grabbing whatever he grabs, looking at it, going 'huh,' and then trying to capitalize upon their investment by striking another area in the same region.

[Jacogos]

That's actually what I was thinking, E. Something along the lines of Dez grabbing whatever he grabs, looking at it, going 'huh,' and then trying to capitalize upon their investment by striking another area in the same region.

You can't do multiple INF in the same chapter, though, or come out of an INF and participate in a BF. That might not be what you're asking, but for some reason I think you are xD

[E1Alpha]

You can do multiple INF in the same chapter, though, or come out of an INF and participate in a BF. That might not be what you're asking, but for some reason I think you are xD

Erm... Where did you get that idea from? o.o
Every character is allowed only one action within every chapter.
Meaning ONE infiltration, or ONE duel, or ONE battlefield, etc...
Dammit, Jaco! Now I need to check if I accidently wrote this anywhere...

[Jacogos]

D:

I MEANT CAN'T !!!

[E1Alpha]

Small typos
Big misunderstandings, gotto love 'em eh?

Well, let's see...
"Your character can only be in ONE story-affecting role-play thread at any time."
That would insinuate that you can be in more than one, but you have to finish one, first. I.E. You can only be in ONE story effecting battle/mission at any time = You have to do things one at a time. That avoids any time issues, by the way, because it's entirely logical for a small party to do two or three things in the time it takes a large army to move into place in order to attack or defend. Do recall, what takes a small party one week may well take a large army one month. That's ASSUMING their moving across the same stretch of land, and that the larger army has no delays, which is saying a lot on the part of said army, because the odds are ridiculously high that they'll end up with SOME problem along the way. Especially since they oftentimes move into unfamiliar territory, and right now, for instance, Leongarde, if they were to attack Scaravus, would have to move through a very mountainous terrain they haven't done a whole lot of troop movements through, and then cross that region into a desert, armed in very hot equipment, and not at all prepared for the heat or difficulty of movement of a desert.
Of course, I understand that you're trying to keep mechanics simple, so none of that I actually expect to be implemented, and won't be miffed if you say 'It's just not going to happen,' because I understand from a GM standpoint, it's a lot of work.

Small typos
Big misunderstandings, gotto love 'em eh?

You're tellin' me xD

Anyway. PREACH. I HAVE NOT THE PATIENCE FOR YOU DAWDLING :annoyed:

[E1Alpha]

That was originally my plan, Edd. But as you said, I figured it was going to make things too complicated to keep it organised. Plus, this also brings about a decission with players about what they find more important at that time:
Aiding their home in conquering or defending their land, or move out seperately to try and expose a weakness.

A good example of what I mean: The Battle for Cayanas
Had Jacogos not decided to head out alone, but instead aid his brethren, that victory could have gone to Aeregos instead of Archeos. But he decided to breach Archeos' defences and find a weakpoint. Although the battle at Cayanas was lost, he recovered a powerful artifact from Archeos.
The way the system works right now doesn't only keep it simple, but forces players to set priorities, or actually discuss with others who are part of the same faction.
It might not be the most realistic, but to me it seems to work best for this.

That also brings up the fact that I wonder who actually comes out on top in that trade: Archeos or Aeregos....?

Aeregos lost a powerful general, as well as lost a player character to turncoat. Though the actual area of Cayanas is not the GREATEST loss, it is still something to think about.

However, Kaizan recovered the artifact that holds great power over one of their generals, such power to actually bring him back to 'mortal' terms, if I understand the object right. Not to mention once the word gets out that one of their most sacred holds was breached and stolen from (not to mention those who were killed), it could affect morale rather... interestingly.

That's my take on it at least.

[Eddren]

Oh, don't get me wrong. If you're not there for the fight in the beginning, you have no right to be there. There's no reason why your character should be able to do that. What I mean is that you should be able to do more than one task in an area, considering it's a fairly small amount of land to cover.
But it's complex.
At best, I'd put it like this: Either, A) Two tasks in one area per charpter, or B) One battle per chapter, or C) One duel per chapter.

- - - Updated - - -

Oh, right. Also, J, what your guy doesn't realize is that's probably got either A) A concentration of Soul Orb power, which your leader may exploit, or B) Is magical in nature, and your leader may find a way to exploit it. :3

[Jacogos]

Either way, it hurts Archeos, so my nationalist prick is self-satisfied ^.^ xD

[Eddren]

Just imagine. "Um. Are the Aergos using Light Magic? What's going on here?"

[Jacogos]

I don't think its gonna be that simply because by reading the INF Opening Post, you have a vague understanding of what the artifact does xD

[Eddren]

Well, do recall, Archeos Magic is light magic, so if its' magic was drawn out and used, it'd likely be in the form of light magic. In addition, if it's Soul-Orb power, that's also light, so either way...

[Cfavano]

or, robbing them may have the same affect as the Alamo. and you all KNOW what happened at the battle of San Jacinto

[Eddren]

Their soldiers weren't killed to the last man, and the Aergos aren't holding a feast. Oh, right, and their walls are a little better fortified. Their troops aren't as incompetent. They have magic...Yeah. The Texas revolution =/= anything to do with Aergos. I would know. I spent way too many years learning about it.

[Jacogos]

Yes, crush all of CF's hopes and dreams in a single grinding post.

Don't mind me *noms Overmind-brand popcorn.*

[Cfavano]

actually, if they are all like kaburi, I'd say they were incompetent. And i meant as such as it riling them up and unifying them, making them fight harder

[Eddren]

And if they're all like the guards defending your artifact, that would make them, y'know, WORSE than incompetent. Because they failed to protect their artifacts from said incompetents.

[Jacogos]

You're very derogatory towards your betters, aren't you? (referring to Cretoris and Kaburi)


And if they're all like the guards defending your artifact, that would make them, y'know, WORSE than incompetent. Because they failed to protect their artifacts from said incompetents.

Hey, when you got a leader like me, even incompetence holds no bars -yes-

[Preach]

Ok, thank you for answering, I was under the impression that Leongarde was retreating but wasn't sure. I'll try to get something up tonight.

@Jac: http://i47.tinypic.com/2j3nsxl.gif
But really, I'll try to get something up tonight.

[Jacogos]

Hooker, I'll deal with it when I feel like dealing with it! xD

Bitch, I'm the Overmind!

[The Imposter]

So posting order doesn't count for final postage?

[Jacogos]

Not for the Mountains posters.

[Preach]

Truly sorry for the delay, posted now, pretty short but I didn't see the point in drawing it out! In any case, there are two ways I’d like for this to play out, if that’s alright with all of you.

1) Perma-death (since I would rather have a proper incentive for having my characters do well, for me, if they die in battle they die for real), and I’ll make another character (eventually lol.)

~OR~

2) She becomes a vassal of Disgeran. They’re big on possessing corpses, no? I could keep controlling her through this, unless she becomes the mindless sort of corpse, but it could add for interesting development seeing as she hates Disgerans. So, essentially, this would be an "involuntary" faction change...?

So it’s up to you, let me know what would work best since honestly either is fine by me.

[E1Alpha]

The Disgerans aren't that much of necromancers. They are more of a warlock faction.
In all honesty, the corpses of Leongardians would be left to be disgraced in as many ways as possible: By letting them rot in the field and have demonic contraptions feast on them.
The ones that have fallen are not worth to be raised anyways.

Well, if you wish to permanently kill of Aranka, that can be done. The decission is all yours.

[Cfavano]

she could be something of a slave warrior. Or have her mind dominated.

[E1Alpha]

You miss the point: She has been slain in combat. As such, she has proven to be weak.
Weakness isn't something the Disgerans like.

[Cfavano]

oh, she actually died?I have an idea, at the net battle, launch the heads of the slain leongardians over the walls of the leongarde fortress!

[Cfavano]

and that is one less pawn to worry about

[P.K.]

Wait your person died? O-o already some one died wooow.

[Cfavano]

well, she was weak. and the weak deserve death.

[Jacogos]

I'll wait to put in my two cents until after E1 has answered my PM.

[E1Alpha]

There. The Lion Woods have been concluded with a shiny stamp.

Also... The Overmind now has permission to brutally violate Cfavano with a chainsaw for disrespecting his opponents <3

*grabs some of that Overmind popcorn*

[Jacogos]

I always knew you were part of the bandwagon, E1 ^.^

http://ohgreatanotherpodcast.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/christian-bale-american-psycho-patrick-bateman-axe-10989289.jpg

The Overmind will have blood.

Also: After the stamp has been placed, the threads are closed to any future posts, right? I.e. you won't be throwing anything new into them?

[E1Alpha]

That is correct, me good ser.

EDIT:
Well, it seems we are now only waiting for a reaction from Atrum Daemon. But if he doesn't get one out within 36 hours of Imposter's post, I will throw the final stamp on the Ilean battle and prepare the concluding post.

After that, it's merely a matter of waiting for me and my writers to finish the intermetsos for each faction and Chapter 2 up and running.

[Preach]

Yes, I see what you mean totally (about weakness, I mean). Perma-death it is! I'll get another character up at some point later.

[Cfavano]

right. I wasn't really disrespecting them, Preach RPd well, but natural selection dictates that the weak must die, and the strong shall live.

[The Imposter]

Preach are you leaving Leongarde? Or will your new char stay with G'wain?

[Jacogos]

If you don't make another Leongarde character, I'm afraid poor Imposter is going to get steamrolled all by his lonesome.

[The Imposter]

Was that trash talk?

Guess will have to wait and see what happens in Ch.2

[Jacogos]

Not really, I was just stating facts :P

[Cfavano]

true. G'wain may be good, but 100 spears worth 100 ryo each are better than 1 sword or dagger worth 10,000 ryo, if you get my meaning.

[Preach]

I haven't put much thought into the new character yet. It's likely I will stay with Leongarde. It's also likely I won't be able to participate in many battles in the near future (this would have been the same even had Aranka lived) since real life has been quite demanding lately.

Besides, G'wain seems to be doing just fine on his own! I am confident in his/your abilities, you just won the battle and slaughtered a commander, completely single-handedly!!! That being said, I will try to not ditch our faction.

And thanks for stepping up to defend my honour guys ~Cu_Sith~ I wasn't particularly offended or anything, but it's appreciated.

[Cfavano]

aww, y'all made a lady blush.

[Eddren]

What a group of gents.

[Cfavano]

well, edd is the one that believes firmly in it. I have seem him crush charas left and right.

[Eddren]

Have I, now?

[P.K.]

it's merely a matter of waiting for me and my writers to finish the intermetsos for each faction and Chapter 2 up and running.

Right need to start on that _-_ I'll get something hopfully I feel stuck though, that ad I have some family stuff to day and I'm babysitting ~ yay >.>


Yes, I see what you mean totally (about weakness, I mean). Perma-death it is! I'll get another character up at some point later.

I just think its sad lol ~ some one has already died and they don't comes back :c
I'm using Shani next chapter and I'll debate on using Karrha.


aww, y'all made a lady blush.

I had nothing to do with it.

E is it alright that I update Karrha's Profile? she broke her bow so she's got to get a new one might as well upgrade a few more things as well.

[E1Alpha]

Sure thing. Gimme a heads-up when it's done.

[P.K.]

I will when I get around to it. For now got to help clean the house a bit more talk to yall later. -waves-

[E1Alpha]

And the conclusion for Chapter 1 is up and running!

There's a nice little surprise for those that have accomplished some major feats, aswell ;P

Read it well before you ask anything.

Should Atrum Daemon's post require a change, which I don't think, then I will make sure it gets updated accordingly.
Additionally: The Intermetsos for Archeos and Aeregos have been posted. 2 of the 6 stories out of the way before Chapter 2 can begin.

[Cfavano]

Yay. Edd, I'm getting max to join. Jaco, you'll be able to meet your soulmate!

[Eddren]

Yay!
Anyhow, don't forget, E1(HEY! You told me to remind you.) INFYINFYINFYINFYINFYINFY. I actually don't care where it is, because that's not relevant. All Dez wants is some Infiltration.

[Cfavano]

expect a lot of chara death from him. he's infamous for killing his own charas off

[E1Alpha]

Too early, Edd.
You can yank on my tail again when the Announcement for Chapter 2 is up :P

[Eddren]

There have been quite a few times when I've even had orders from one of his characters to kill another of his characters, even.
Anyhow, fine, then. >.>

[Cfavano]

yup. Also, as I said, he is like Jaco, only better XD
