This thread is for all discussion related to the current tournament. Please feel to post your thoughts and ideas here!
Here's a question for you guys:
Which species do you think is the one most people will want to play?
Which one do you think is the least sought after?
I would answer but seeing as how I have seen all the entries thus far I already know the answer.
For me I would want to play a hare or rat and I wouldn't want to play a shrew.
This board should be able to be posted in now ;)
So for curiosity's sake, how come we weren't able to post before? Can you lock an entire board? And if so, is there a way to tell?
As far as the question goes, I don't really have any ideas for the most sought after (maybe fox), but I'd guess that the LEAST sought after would be the shrew or the hedgehog.
It's called having the board on "read only" mode instead of it being open to posting.
More news, we have an official banner drawn by yours truly:

I would probably play a stoat or an otter. I wouldn't want to be a fox or a mouse. If I was going to be in this tournament, that is-- I don't think I will be doing this one....
I think the only species I WOULDN'T be fond of playing in this tournament would be a hare, a rabbit, or a shrew, because I'm not very good at portraying said creatures. Other than that, I'm happy with whatever. I'm just really glad there isn't a mole, because I'm horrible at playing moles. :P
The only character I would not want to play would be a rat. Aside from that I really don't mind. Though I would prefer an otter or that rabbit. ;D
I would not like to play a rat or a shrew; any other species I am happy with, though.
I wouldn't want to play a rat, or a hedgehog.
I'd be glad to play anything but a Rat.
We all seem to have problems with Rats.
I think the most wanted to be played would be the fox or the hare or the wildcat.
I think the least wanted to be played would be the pine marten.
I think most wanted would be: Otter, hare, or squirrel. Least wanted would be: Pine martin, mole, hedgehog, or wildcat.
There are alot of Wildcat lovers though.....Rain especially......

Aye. ;D Ungatt really liked wildcats, too. Wonder where he went...
As for the whole discussion of rats, I actually wouldn't mind playing a rat. I haven't played many, but I do enjoy being the character who always messes everything up and is a complete bumbling fool. ;D And I also like playing pine martens.
Wow, I feel very different from everyone else. At least one character on each person's list of "The most wanted character" I haven't wanted, and at least one character from each "The least wanted character" list I've wanted. :P
Haha! Rainy's special! ;D
I would be fine playing anything. I just prefer squirrels. . . . . Playing a rat would be kinda cool, though. I can NOT type mole speech to save my life, so I myself don't want to play a mole. But I wouldn't mind it. Hare speech is easy. Add in 'wot wot,' 'bally,' so on and so forth, and you got hare speech! (I'm rambling, aren't I?)
Personally I'd like to play either, an otter, a squirrel, a fox. But I wouldn't mind playing a pine martin or any type of vermin really. But I'd have to be in a certain mood to play a rat.
No rats or hedgehogs for me. I'm partial to playing squirrels, otters, wildcats, and hares myself.
I actually would be perfectly fine with playing a pine marten (I actually do play one on the VI) . I prefer a character that works by intelligence and skill not brute strength and force. You can make most any other vermin character work that way just not a rat no matter how you turn it on its head it is still a rat. ;D
Anyone have any good ideas for tag lines for this event? i know you don't know too much about it yet but just wonderin' if'n ye've got some ideas eh?
What do you mean by tag lines? I'm pretty sure you aren't referencing coding, but that's the only thing I can think of. ::)
Dan, like the tag lines in the last tournament.
Exactly like the last tournament ;)
I wasn't in the last tournament, so......what are tags?
Um, yeah. I'm confused. . . .
Me two... :D Though I have read most of the last one I can't remember it at the moment. :P

Lol, I thought the pine marten would be popular. The choices I sent in were (in order): Pine marten, female otter, and female hedgehog. Never RP'd a hedgehog or a pine marten, but they sound kinda interesting to play.
Anyway, what are tag lines? I'm just as confused as everyone else. :P
Yeah, I thought Pine Martens would be quite popular.
I really hope that if I don't get the Female otter I get the Rabbit. In fact I wouldn't mind not getting the otter if it men't getting the rabbit. I am surprised it was not more highly sought after.
Are we allowed to discuss who get got?
We'll have to wait for Brook's answer, but I honestly think it'd be fine. No sense in keeping it a secret really, we were just talking about who we did and didn't want.
(Hey Dan, might want to fix your siggy; I can see a [/u poking out the side of an egg. . .)
I got a hare for the Footfighters.
Yes I know, but I don't want to mess with it because the link is working and I don't want to risk messing it up.
I'm excited to see this RP get going! Best of luck to all of you lot, and may the best clan win! Although I think we all know who the best clan is :) :) :)
Male hare? I'm the other one.We are in cahoots for....things
Any one else part of the The Ramblers? I'm glad to be in that clan b/c I already have good ideas for my character sheet.
Same here I am with them as well and I already had a slight of an idea for the sheet. This is going to be so much fun! ;D
I actually have no idea how I'll portray my character (I won't say who it is yet, 'cause I don't know if Brooky wants us to or not, but I'll say I do really like the character I got), but I'm gonna be in the car for a couple of hours today, so I'll be drawing some different appearances to choose from. Appearances kinda help me work out a personality, y'know? Weird, but... yeah. :P
Cool I should try that method. currently I have no clue as to how my character will look aside from one or two minor detailed.
Though I do know a good bit of history and a tad of personality.
I won't say whom I got, but is anyone in the Footfighters?
Yes.
Any other ramblers out there? I won't say who I got but it is a Rambler.

I might maybe possibly be playing a Rambler as well. Heh, I get to be in the same group as you two. ;D
YAY!!!!!
I know in the last Tournament, I was against both of you......
How do I sign up??
There is a sign up topic explaining that. You have to PM the application there to Brook.

Hope to see you in the Tournament, it will be like old times.
@Faiyloe, Tam and Rain, Oh yeah!!
So...am I the only Pirate?
I'm fine with you guys discussing which characters you got. Just don't give out their names and such... i like to save that as sort of a grand unveiling :D

Yay! I'm female otter!
Male wildcat!
Hey Brook, if you need anyone to play filler characters, just let me know. I can help out if need be.
Are there gonna be themes like for last tournament?
I got the female rabbit. ;D I've been researching rabbit dialect all day yesterday too. ;D What did you get Dan? if you don't mind my asking.
Oh, that's cool, Faiy!
Male fox! ;D
Rain and Leatho would probably remember this but that is what I got for the last tournament too! ;D
Gotta love foxes.
I'm a little jealous. Foxes are my favorite animals!
I ended up with the Female Ferret.
:o
The female ferret would have been my fourth choice.
I like playing female weasels, ferrets, stoats etc.
Not sure why.....

Okay, that's weird, 'cause I got a male fox too! Lol. :P
Really.......Interesting......
Are there supposed to be two male foxes?
Iunno. Either there are, or something like last tournament happened where more than one got distributed.
Question: This is probably a silly question, but I'll ask it anyway so that I don't create a character that's so off from the storyline. Are the Ramblers pretty much a band of performers, like the Rambling Rosehip Players?
I changed the character slightly to fit the needs of our RPers. I do that when I can because I want people to be happy with the character they receive.
If you read the description of Esile (leader of the troupe) that was recently posted, you can get the flavor of the traveling band. ;)
So does that mean Rain and I are still both Male foxes?
Drawing of my character...
(https://leathoshellhound.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/andrc3a9-feathereye.jpg)
Wow, nice drawing! I was gonna see if I could get Faiyloe to do a drawing of my character after they're unveiled.
Hey Brooky, Are we allowed to say who we are friends with and who we are enemies with? Y'know, the ones that you sent us?
Quote from: Wylder Treejumper on September 19, 2014, 04:01:58 AM
Male wildcat!
Cool! Does that mean you are a rambler? I forget which group WIldcat was from.....
I got the female pine marten, and I'm with the Ramblers. :D
I would be glad to Han. ;D

WOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Faiy!
Seriously though, is anyone else a Crew Beast?
Sorry. I'm a Footfighter.
I'm lonely. :'(
Maybe Jukka ' s a Crew Beast! Or maybe Rachel? I'm sure someone else will turn up, Hanny.
Dan has not disclosed who he is yet either.
I actually said already that I'm a Rambler. Sorry, Han. :-\
EDIT: So, this probably sounds really stupid, but I read the sheet for Esile Violettail and I'm still not completely sure if the Ramblers are performers or not. The word 'troupe' seems to mean that they are, but still.... Can someone clarify?
It sounded to me like that's what they were, but Brookskimmer is the one who can actually confirm it.
I do find it interesting how Dystrano can keep a turbine between his ears and how Esile has her clothes kept up by a board belt. ;D
Lol. ;D
Spelling mistakes. :D

I believe that the Ramblers are traveling thieves disguised as performers. So, sorta like Slagar the Cruel's gang.
Well it was but is no longer. Some use it as such while others stay honest.

Attention everyone! Sign up topic going away and new announcement topic coming up! Please read the announcement topic so that you will know due dates and other important info! Thanks!
YAY!!!!
I get the feeling that Rain and Dan are pirates, because they're about the only people who haven't said who they are, and the pirates have the smallest group as of right now.
That's possible.

I don't know if I'd say that. I've only heard about 1 footfighter so far, and that was Cornflower MM. Sounds like the packed group is the rambling folks :)
No,I think Mask and Wylder are in the Footfighters.

If you are wondering if I got your character sheet, check the announcement section to see if you are listed ;)
I am wondering who else is a pirate.
Nope, I'm a Rambler. Sorry.
Blast! Just saw the due date for char sheets. I'm so busy, I haven't even thought about my char! I don't know if I can get it in...
I've read a bit in the completed tournaments archive and found that there was a 7 posts per week limit on RP tourney 3. Will we have a similar restriction in this tournament, and does that include out of character discussion threads, or is it just on the major ones?
Wait, Tam, you're a pirate?
No, he's a Rambler.

I imagine that might be so this turn, just so that everything is finished within a more uniform time period.

Save for the discussion thread. You're allowed to post in that as many times as you wish, just not several times in a row. ;) At least, that's how it was last time, if I remember correctly. It may be different this time, but I doubt a restriction would be put on the OOC thread.
No restrictions on OOC thread. Info will be posted soon for tournament rules.

I'm so sad I can't join in on this one! It would start during at the same time as fall quarter at my college! Oh, well! I'll be watching and cheering you lot on from the sidelines. :)
Hi, Icefire. I don't think we've met, so hi! I . . . . actually don't know if Brook will accept my sheet (I couldn't think of a History) So you may have some company!
Whew, just squeezed in!

Hi! *waves*
Yeah, we probably haven't met. I was active when the forum first started, but life has caught up with me and doesn't allow me much forum time. :P (Seriously, kids! If you can get to Neverland, go now! There's no going back once the growing up process has begun!)
Well, hopefully you can think of a history and get in! (I haven't been paying much attention to the sign-up process....so I'm not sure what the current process is....)
At least there may be other opportunites for us to get in on a good rpg in the future!
Are you back for while, Icefire?
I'll show up every so often. I've really been missing RPing lately, so when I heard the next tournament was up I had to check it out! I don't have time for RPing and won't until January at least. Therefore, I'll be a lurker until then.
Well, it's good to have a senior member back. (I mean, one who joined early)

DID YOU JUST CALL ME A KID!? >:( ...... ;) Hey Icefahr, how'sih goin'? Haven't seen you awhile, playing forum lurker now I see :P. Sheets are due today, though I'm sure Brook would make an exception since you've been out of the loop. You're in college right? I've got college now myself on top of two jobs, but I've been able to stay active. How's your situation going now?
@Corn: If you send me a PM, I might be able to help you out with that history. Just some different approaches you could take, I wouldn't actually be giving you the words. Histories can be difficult, I'm just lucky because I already had the two different characters I was considering completely planned out. Even so, the sheet took FOREVER! I wish you luck even if you don't accept my offer, not always a fun part of character development.
EDIT: This post was made before Skarz and Icefire posted, but I'm not changing it, I'm stubborn like that. :P

Wait a second.... That's today!
I know! I'm really excited. A little nervous, but excited. ;D Wonder when it's gonna start.
By the way, I'm thinking James might be a pirate. He never actually said what he was.
You guys get to be nervous a little longer... turns out I'm needing most of day to finish getting things ready for the tournament to begin!
Who said anything about being nervous. ;D
Jukka did. ;)
Well I'm not. ;D
Heehee. :D I just hope I do well, that's all.
@Icefire: It was good to see your name up on the "Who's Online" list the other day. There are so few other people left from 2011, and it's a pleasure whenever one of y'all are back around. It's a shame that you've grown up, but I guess that isn't uncommon. It seems that everyone here has, except me.
@everyone else: I've never actually posted in any of the regular RPs, other than my brief run as Terrus in the aborted "Quest for the Sword", and I think all the tournaments took place after I left, so it's fair to say that I'm new at this myself. The closest thing to role playing I've done recently is in Overlord's Orders, and that isn't exactly the same. I'm hoping it won't be too hard to get into the swing of things, though. I'd have liked to check out the earlier tournaments, to see how those worked, but with my poor out-of-town connection, I'm hard enough pressed just to keep up with the forum as much as I have.
As far as my role, I won't keep you in much more suspense; I'm playing the male rat. Without going into more detail than Brooky wants right now, I'll say that he's a little different from what you might expect, and that I hope he'll be an interesting character on Rackenprow.
I'm no longer lonely! ;D
YAY!!!!!!!!
Opens tomorrow, eh? Blast. I won't be able to post. I don't get on Sundays.
Yeah, I don't usually get on Sundays either. Guess I'll have to post first thing Monday morning.
I'll be at my grandparents in the after noon, so it might be late evening before I can post.
@dan: No, I did not call you a kid. If you're in college and holding down two jobs, you are definitely past the point of no return. How on earth have you managed to stay active?! ;) As for my life, college and one "part-time" job (that should really be considered full-time considering how many hours they give me), but that's all I'll say about it since this thread is actually about a RP Tournament! That's a discussion for another board.
@Tam and Martin (sorry, I don't know who's playing...I'm guessing Tam?): Yes, yes I am alive! ;D Shocking, isn't it?
@James: Nice to see you back on the forum! I was honestly shocked when Rainshadow informed me that you showed up again....and you have an avatar! Not the taco, though...
EDIT: I see the taco now! I'm no longer disappointed! :D
@everyone else: Good luck and may this be the best tournament yet!
Aye!
And yes, this is Tam posting.

I am not at all nervous. The third tournament tough, that was a different story. Ask anyone who was in it about my posting :-\
:) That's one of the reasons I enjoy running these tournaments. They help people improve their RP skills. I've seen improvement from many people that have taken part in tournaments.
Hopefully I've improved since last time :-X
Um, are you going to update the character listing? Because mine isn't on there.
Hey, Jasper, our characters are enemies. ::)
HAHA! ;D
Apparently, Brook said I am alliance with the shrew (Leatho) and enemies with the Wildcat (Wylder). This will be interesting ;D
I'm allianced with Male Otter (Who's playing him again? I'll go take another look.) And eneimes with Male Hare. Interesting.
EDIT: Whoops, read somethin' wrong. Fixed it. Skar, this is going to be quite interesting indeed. . . .

Ha! I'm the exact opposite. Buddies with Wylder, enemies with Leatgo. :P
@Wylder: Okay, I was laughing so hard when I read your character app. Mine isn't up yet, but it's hilarious how similar our characters are without even trying to make them that way! I mean, for one thing, we both use rapiers, and then the personalities are very close. So I guess it's fitting that we're allies. :P
@Corn: Yep; I know. :P
And now you finally saw the sheet I was freaking out about. ::) S'not as good as some other people's, though.
Lucky you, you get an ally. My characters ally isn't actually played by anyone. :-\
Aww, you don't? That's too bad, Hanny!
EDIT: Actually, I'm not sure anyone's playing Male Otter.
Jeez it's funny how are characters compliment each Skarzs.
Hmmmm..... I'm allied to Thomas, and at odds with the Mask. Funny, the Mask's character and mine both take ques from Japan in their design. I've got some music fer us'ns. ;D
Kami
Oh yeah?!
Epic Pirate Music

Hey, Jasper, our characters are enemies. ::)
Indeed, and my character is also friends with Gryphon (I particularly like his character, well detailed and like a rich version of Jack Sparrow {There should be a captain in there somewhere!}). I can't wait to face off, and may the best pirate win... arrrrr
Anyway I've read through most of the character sheets and they seem spectacular. I don't fancy my chances at winning to be very
high, but I'll give it everything I've got.
In addition, I'm interested to see how this whole thing will play out. With only 3 pirates it may be challenging to keep a scene going, especially when each of us can only post a couple of times. (maybe Brooke will play the captain and miscellaneous pirates?) The poor pirates seem to have the odds against them in this one (only 3 of us!), but don't fret me hearties, we'll overcome the numbers and come out on top one way or another!
Pirates of the Caribbean Music
Don't worry, we've got it. If Pirates of the Caribbean has taught us anything, it's that Captain Jack always wins. ;)

*Brandishes rapier menacingly* ;D
I wonder why there are enemies in the same clan?
I am friends with Leatho and enemies with Wylder.
@ Wylder: I was looking at your sheet and I think we should try and work out just why they are enemies. I'll be PMing you about it.
Just a heads up that I need a couple more days to iron out details... sorry for delays but I've run out of time today... should be up and running by tomorrow afternoon PST...
No prob. It's a pretty big event, so obviously it's gonna need a bit of time. ;)
I'm grateful for the positive feedback. I thought about giving a more stereotypical searat (in the Greypatch vein) a try, and slightly regret not doing so now as it seems a lot of our characters are higher-class, and it might've helped to balance it out... but I still like the character sheet as written and think it'll be interesting to try to bring the rat to life.
The main thing to keep in mind is that Ackab is not nice. I figured that there would be a lot of grey and good characters, even in the vermin ranks, so I decided that my character would be a straight up villain. That doesn't mean he'll be torturing people or betraying his allies just for giggles, but he is ultimately selfish, and has no problems with committing murder, theft, or other unsavory deeds, if that will help him get what he wants. When I'm done, I'm hoping that the readers and other players will think of him as interesting, plausible, and the type of person they would hate to be acquainted with in real life.
As far as enemies/allies go, I'll probably ask Brooky about that. The ship players seem to be limited in number, and a consequence of that is that it appears my archrival isn't being played by anyone.

Apparently, Brook said I am alliance with the shrew (Leatho) and enemies with the Wildcat (Wylder). This will be interesting ;D
Ha! I'm the exact opposite. Buddies with Wylder, enemies with Leatgo. :P

Probably to spice up the storyline. It will be cool to see! I wonder who Wylder is enemies or friends with.....
I be buddies with Rainy and enemies with Leatho.
Har! Perian Thrust... Ha ha ha! Parry and thrust, Perian Thrust! I get it!
Hmm... my character is enemies with the pine marten
So it looks like Vanglar, Hawthorn, and André are pals
and Dannilo, Perrian and Aislinn are against us. :o

Yep. ;D I was sitting in the car, just finished drawing what I thought my character would look like, and I went, "Hrm... what should I name him?" I was about to just go, "Eh, I'll figure out something when I get home." Then my brain went, "Wait, you drew him looking all cocky and fancy, and he has a rapier... why not have his name be one he made himself? Something describing his character? What is he doing? He's fighting... Parry. No, Thrust? Thrust... something. No, Parry's better. Wait. Parry and Thrust. Perrian Thrust. YES."
Weird. I don't get along with The Mask (Male Hare) but I don't know who I do get along with. Its supposed to be a male otter, but there is none.

Definitely. ;D
Thing is, Perrian's sheet hasn't been posted yet for some reason, so I can't read up on him...
I'm not sure if Brook forgot to add Rain's sheet or if she just didn't have time to yet. Hmm.
Hasn't done mine either.
Actually, she has.
Oh, she has. :P My bad.

Thomas, Skar is the Male Hare. I don't get along with him, either. But I do get along with the Male Otter, too. EDIT: Wait, there's two Male Hares. Which one do I not get along with, and which one do YOU nod get along with?
There are two male hares; I'm friends with the other.
Hmm... She seems to be slightly behind schedule... Just a bit...
Jeez, Why does everyone hate me... Serge is the friendly one!
My charrie is your ally.

That's probably why. ;)
Hey guys, just checking in. I'm gonna try my best to get things up for this tonight! But... it might be tomorrow night. I had a bunch of work stuff come up last minute on me and that has to come first... but I've been working everything through in my mind for this so when I get a hour or two the tournament will begin! :) Thanks for being patient!
No problem, Brook! I get it - You have a life. We'll wait. :)
The tournament has begun! Check out the competitor's announcement thread for info.
*Raises hand* Brooky? Not to be a bother or anything, but Perrian's character sheet isn't on the list. His name is at the top, but his description is nowhere to be found. :P
Thanks for letting me know ;) I'll get it up there by tonight... sorry for the delay on that!
EDIT: AAAaaand, done!
Yay! Thanks! :D
So glad we're getting going on this tournament, I've already made my first post. If anyone has the chance to glance over my post to check for any possible rule breakings, I'd much appreciate it. I don't have much experience with this and I may have slightly power played (I'm really not sure, but I hope I didn't!)
Your post was great Jasper! If you keep on like that you'll do very very well indeed. :D The other posts were also good! Nice start you all!
More announcements made in the announcement section :)
Darn it! I'm gone all day tomorrow! Oh well, I guess I'll just make my first post on Friday.
There's no time limit yet so no worries if it takes some of you guys a couple days to get a post up. ;)
Last thread will go up at some point tomorrow
Finally last thread is up! The first round will go for two weeks to give everyone ample time to post!
Yaaay!
(Maybe?)
I hope it's yay! ;D
I have also made private (but not secret) boards for clans to discuss and plan. Enjoy!
:o OK Now I am nervous... No nervous is an understatement It is more like a terrified panic. Which is completely unjustified. I can't remember the word... I can't remember the word I want to use... :'( :-X :-[ :P :-\ :o ??? :P :-[ :-\ ??? :-\ :P <-- That is me trying to wright this post with little to nothing to go on. Ok I got that out don't mind me... Time to get back to that post. :P
Faiy, join th Nervous Club. :P
There's nothing to be nervous about! ;) The tourney's mostly for fun, though some of us get really competitive. Leave the worrying to us over-competitive types. ;D
I have to say you ARE one of the over-competitive types, Danny. See, thing is, so am I. ;) But this time, I'm reining in my competitive-ness. Next time, though, is a different matter. . . . . >:D ;)
I'm a bit nervous too. All I really want is to be a better RPer afterwards.That and brutally murder Aurin :P
There is no need to be nervous... this is supposed to be for fun and to help you improve your RP skills! :D
Does it count against you if you cannot post due to the lack of activity in another player? I'm afraid I can't do anything until Tale Weaver posts again, unless I want to make a worthless, four-sentence post that does nothing to further anything.
Hey! Don't diss the four sentence posts, please! *Grumbles to self* And I have five posts left for the week. . . . .
Not what I meant. . .
I know - I'm teasing, silly!
*Is teased*
Posts will be going in order as much as possible. That means someone needs to post before the Tale Weaver posts again. Don't worry about the time, I'll extend as needed.
A question for the ship people: All 3 of us have already posted, so what happens now? We're all heading towards the cabin, so I'm not really sure...
Should we continue to interact with each other? It's a bit of a challenge to do that with only 3 people to interact with.
On a side note, well done to all of you lot! Interesting starts to all the different factions... or groups... clans? Whatever the case, I'd say we've had a decent start. :)
You should let me post next... then you can post again. ;)
I AM BAAAAAAAAAACK!
So now I have to catch up on everything. Will try ASAP. :P ;D

On a side note - Four posts left.
FOR ME! :o
Or are you talking about for yourself.....
Oops; Sorry. For me. We have seven posts a week, and I've posted three times.
Ah, I see. I still need to post though I am waiting on Leatho and Wylder.
I'm not sure how this will work out, not a really good start for me.
Actually it is a minimum of 3 posts and a max of 5... least that is what I though... might be wrong... Goes and checks. Yup I was right.

He will. He will. He already has, actually, but he'll do it again.
You'll notice that the Tale Weaver hasn't posted a second time in our thread as well, we've got time. ;) Patience is key, Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was Redwall.
...Totally forgot about that. :D Either way, I wasn't getting annoyed at you. I just WANNA POST!!!
Please be patient... these threads take some time and I've given us ample time to make the story great during this tournament ;)
Yes, Brooky.
One thing I've noticed, fellow Footfighters, is that while people have been posting in their planning threads, we haven't.
That's because we're cool and we ad lib everything. >:D :P ;) There really isn't much for us to plan yet is there? I myself don't have anything to say in that matter, so there's no point in me posting there.
EDIT: Of course, as soon as I say that I go post there. :P
Haha. :P Yeah, I know, I was thinking the sae thing.
Oh, of course you do. ;D :P
Just made my first post. It's pretty short compared to everyone else's. :P :-\
(By the way, sorry for the delay, Rain!)
Jukka, I took a look, and it's longer than my posts! That should make you feel better.
All troupe members, I'm terribly sorry to report that I won't be able to RP for a couple of days, as I have a lovely throat infection and I need a lot of rest. I'll try to post as soon as I'm able to leave the couch. ;)
Hey everyone!
I will try to catch up again and maybe post - I was away at a speech/debate tournament.
I'll sadly be gone from Tuesday to Sunday.
Oh :-\
I think I have one more post. But, in truth, I'm not entirely sure what to do.
Hey, Brook, I have a couple of (probably dumb) questions. We have five posts a week, but when exactly does the week begin? From the time our clan's thread was started? Also, once we've used up our five posts, if it's been over a week since the thread was started, are we allowed another five posts?
Oh yes, I do need to set time limits...hmmmmm....go to the announcement topic for official time limits.
A message to everyone:
I was wondering if there was anyone (From any of the groups) who would be willing to play along with me in my post (Please read it to know what I am talking about). What I was thinking about was that the person I would be acting with would say they had hidden their stuff, but when they come back, they find it missing and they find out that Vanglar had taken what was theirs. Then they can be enemies, fight etc. If you are interested just tell me and we can work out specifics.
Hmm, I'l think about it, Tam, but I'd like to see what Tale WEaver wants me to do first, okay?
On a side note, I'm still not sure about when we are allowed more posts.
Okay.
Judging from the ruling post, I'd say you aren't limited (excepting moderation of course). As long as the two for judging are marked.
Just curious as to how we should go about 'marking' the posts that we desire to have judged. :P
Last I remember we just put an asterisk at the beginning of the post. *
Cool; thanks.
Look who finally decided to write her second post. ::) Yeah, I figured I should probably post something, as it's been, what, a week since I posted last? Ugh, I can never find the time or energy to concentrate on writing something with good quality. I have a feeling that this 'un was more of a filler post, less of one that I'd want to be judged. (Nearly wrote graded, lol.)
Wrote a lot about this in the ship's planning board. A lot of my current trouble (besides not being too hot at writing descriptive prose) is writing something long enough -- which is kind of funny, since the problem with my posts in Overlord's Orders is that they're too long. I'm hoping I can get to the top of my game and give Jasper and all the rest of y'all a run for your money before this is over with, though.
I'm back!
Figured you guys should know I'm drawing out of the tournament. This time's just not for me. Have fun!
Awe! Bye Corny!
Quote from: Leatho Shellhound on October 20, 2014, 02:37:04 PM
I'm back!
YAY!!!!! If you could look at our topic you will see what I posted.
oh to bad maybe next time.
I seem to be waiting for the taleweaver to post before I can post again. I really don't have much to go one here. :-\

Hey length isn't everything, I'd say you've already given me more than a run for my money ;). In any case, once this tournament really starts rolling I'm sure you won't have any problems with length. At the moment there just isn't much to interact with (the main reason most people have relatively short posts.)
EEK! I'm supposed, to interact with you corny! Now what am I gonna post about?
You don't need to worry about signifying which posts you want judged until the round is over... to answer an earlier stated question. ;)
@Leatho, Would you mind posting ASAP?
Yes, I will, sorry about the wait Tam.
That's fine. ;)
Post from me coming to the Band thread soon... also directions from me coming to your in box soon!
Quick question: do we find out our scores directly after the conclusion of the first round, or do we get them at the end of the tournament. If we don't get them before the second round starts, It'd be really nice if I could get some kind of feedback to make sure I'm on the right track with this whole thing. Maybe a quick sample score or something.
(As this is my first tournament I've no idea if I'm actually doing this right. )
I'm not sure as to the scoring system, but I guarantee you that you don't have anything to worry about. Right now I'd guess that you're in the lead in our division, and quite possibly in the entire tournament.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brook might not let me back in, though.
Hmm..........
Oh come now Corn! Brook's not just any old codger. ::) :P I'm about (102)% sure she'll be fine with you coming back, it wouldn't hurt anything.
Thats great!(That Your back)

2% means 100%. So, yeah, it is encouraging. ;)
Just wanted to tell all of you that my computer crashed and I can't access a browser at all. Right now i am on a friends iPad but I won't b seeing this friend for awhile after this. What I am saying is I not gong to be on a lot till it is fixed. Just wanted to let you all know that. I will still try to post here though. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. :'(

You really think so? Well that's awesome! Guess I'll continue as I have been for the next part of this tournament.
Sorry it took me so long to post... :P
Looks like I wasn't too badly missed ::)
Anyway, I think I have the internet working now. I might try to post tomorrow.

I knew that...
I really would like if one of you guys (Anybody would work) could play along with me on the treasure thing (Look at my first and third post). It would be much appreciated - I don't want all that detail I put into it to go to waste.
Can do!
Ack, I feel I missed everything! And plus, I hit a button and the post I was writing for the tourney disappeared! AAAAARGH!
Sorry for delays on things... I'll be back in action soon!

Quicktip: if you try to post something and an error of some type appears, or you're worried it didn't work, click the back button and copy your post. ;) Saved me a LOT of trouble over the years!
Yep, good tip! I always make sure to select all and copy my posts before I send them in... just in case it doesn't go through. I sympathize as that is like one of the worst feelings when you loose a great post!
When is the next tournament? (And by that I mean when is the next one I can enter?)
Not for a long while I'm afraid...
Glad to see we're back in business! No problems on the delays - things happen! I just went offline myself for 12 straight days! :o
My question is: is BrookSkimmer the only one judging the posts or do all the moderators pitch in? Seems like an incredible amount of reading and judging for one person who is already running the entire tournament single-handed! :(
Either way - thanks so much for putting this on and working so hard on it! It gives us all a great time, and spectacular (and stiff!) friendly competition.
Traditionally, we've had multiple judges. I think Daniel was helping out with the last one. I wouldn't be surprised if Brook's getting some help from Matthias.
Results for round 1 are up! Sorry for delays! Round 2 will be up soon and will move faster than round 1. ;D
please discuss results in this thread. I think you are all doing really well! Some of you have improved dramatically since the last tournament! Great work!
Wow I did better than I thought I would. :D ;D
Problem was that I had to depend on Tale Weaver to post, and unless I posted smaller posts when I did I wouldn't have been able to reach the minimum of posts.
@The Skarzs, you did good bro!
Well, thanks Leatho. :)
Woooowwww! Competition is incredibly stiff! We have a 4 way tie for the top! Gotta hand it to my sea-mateys in the ship clan, every single one of whom is tied for the top. However, every player has a solid chance to make a come back in the next rounds, so I'd say well done all around! I wait in eager anticipation for the upcoming round 2.
Ah well. This was my first tournament and I'm not very good at RPing. Just stuff I can improve on. Thanks Brook and whoever judged ;D ;D ;D
Honestly, I'm surprised I did so well. I expected to be towards the bottom of the standings.

Same here. Well, I dunno, I guess I thought I'd be in the middle of the pack; not near the bottom, but most certainly not tied for first. My posts were kinda lame, in my opinion. :P
I wasn't sure how I'd do, but now I guess I need to work on making my posts longer. :P
I may just be being an idiot, but when does the next round start? :P
Good question! I will have things ready to go shortly, so I'm thinking in the next few days!
I didn't post enough to even get judged! I just don't have a lot of time... :'(
@Wylder: I didn't either. *Sighs* Oh, well. Hey, Brook, are Wylder and I still in? Or are we disqualified?
Hey guys... I think I'm going to put this contest on hold while things get sorted out. I was on vacation and hoping to see some posting action in the threads when I got back. Sadly, there's not much going on. I think I'm going to restructure things and then open stuff back up.
If you still want to be part of this I will be putting out a thread soon to tell about the restructured direction of this tournament.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Any word on what's going on with the tournament? It was one of my favorite points as far as RPing goes.
It's on hold. :P
The tournament is on hold due to lack of participation. I will be reworking things and I'll have something new up hopefully soonish...
Alright, cool!
Alright - I'm finally back in action - looks like I haven't missed... well... anything at all. :P
Are all the participants still around to take part? Can we still do this? With the possible exception of OO, this is my favorite. ;)
I'm still around, and I think everyone else is. We're just waiting on Brook to show up again and unveil her plans for this. :P
