Crossed Swords Discussion

@EVERYONE!!!!
I was going to pm everyone individually, but I was thinking about i tmore and really don't have that kind of time. I have decided to form a "soundtrack" for the tournament, but I really need everyone's help. We already know the overall theme song and we will soon be determining the themes for each side, but what about the individual themes? Do you have an idea for you character's theme? Please pm me! Do you need some suggestions? Please pm me and we can work through some options. Do you have ideas for a scene your character takes part in? (For example, the fixing of the sail, the spring festival, the council meeting, etc.) Please pm me. If you are interested at all, please pm me!
If you don't pm.....I might pm you anyways. You see, you all know your characters better than I do and therefore you have a much better idea about what fits your character.
To sum up, PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
Thank you,
Icefire

Building off of what Icefire said, it's a lot of fun. We've been working on this thing kinda together (but really it's her showing me things she's already come up with  ), and I highly encourage you taking her up on this.

I like this sound track idea I'll think of something for Tim soon.

Judging is well underway. We've got a lot of scores in but waiting for a few more...

Oh, and please prepare to be gracious with the judging results. It is done subjectively as completely and as fairly as possible. But, because of the subjection, it leaves room for judges to use their opinions and trained instincts at some points. Please don't complain or get upset during the tournament, it will spoil the mood. I know many of you are competing to win, but with competition, honor needs to be involved to keep things from getting not fun around here. This means graciously accepting victories and defeats.

Remember as well, this is supposed to be for FUN

[Icefire]

It has been fun to come up with theme ideas...and just to listen to new music while searching for options! (DISCLAIMER! I do not advocate searching willy nilly on YouTube and other such sites. There is a lot of trash out there. BE CAREFUL!) I think what I'm going to do is have a different playlist for each round plus one each for the characters of each side...just so you know.

BTW, Judges, I don't know if this will effect my score negatively or not, so I thought I should tell you. In the post where Liv is fiddling, I actually made three Celtic Woman references. The fiddler for CW, Mairead Nesbitt, dances while she plays. One of her solos is called The Butterfly. Also, we refer to her as "The Pixie" on the CW Forum (therefore, the fictitious Pixie Panic). I don't remember creativity being on the list of things judged this round, but I thought I should tell you anyways.

I'll try to find a sound-track for Gasher

  Alright, so I believe it was Dan (danflorreguba) who was talking about a tournament-players only RP earlier, and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on that.  I actually do, and it was something me and Ice were joking about yesterday.  What if in this anti-stress RP, our tournament characters had the exact opposite personality as in the tournament?  Like, Marcus would be the happiest mouse in the tribe, Nevfae would be incredibly dull and Spera would be unimaginably quiet and sad.  That sort of thing. 

[Redwaller]

Shouldn't it be that, since she's gentle, she becomes mean? But I can't imagine all the bad guys to be good...

  Ooh, but that'd be the most fun part!  Making your character the complete opposite of what they're actually like.  And it would be pretty fun to make Spera a mean, rude and quite annoying character.    Sometimes one gets bored of the happy little innocent characters.

Liv would be....well...Spera.
Seriously, we need to do this!

[Dannflower Reguba]

Oooooh my heeeaaaddd! Riddle me this, WHAT IN THE WORLD DO YOU THINK IS GONNA HAPPEN WHEN I TRY TO REVERSE XBALANTIE!  ScaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaAry.......

[Rainshadow]

  She'd probably be like Spera:  Kind, sweet, gentle, that sort of thing.  Scary thought! 

[Dannflower Reguba]

Not that part.... think about how she NEVER talks.... SHE'D NEVER STOP TALKING! 

[Rainshadow]

  And Spera would be the creepiest squirrel you've ever met!    WE MUST DO THIS!  Hmm, the question is, what would we do in the RP?
  OH!  I'VE GOT IT!  We all have our characters (whether bad or good) in a room, partying!  No, not fighting, we're just all in a room, partying and stuff.  Maybe it could be celebrating spring, maybe not, but the RP could have almost no point, and everyone is just chatting and stuff.  It could be very fun. 

[Tam and Martin]

Wait, all of us together?

[Rainshadow]

  Yeah, that way we wouldn't have to have a whole bunch of different threads.  It'd be something different, and that way we could all interact with each other.
