Okay your CS is quite goodI was going to address some problems, but once I looked at it better, the CS is not bad, I mean, I said I didn't like the "I already have magicz" history, but here it might work, the point at which she leaves home would obviously leave an opportunity for a partner. Yea, that seems pretty good.

From what I read and garnered from the OP, the issue was people claiming to be experts. While I noted in the CS that she is able to use magic, self-practice was scarce and obviously not going to be making tsunamis anytime soon. If it is an issue I can easily edit it out to simply knowing she could do magic but never done it yet.

Hey all, so the pairing list has been updated. Please let me know if there are any mistakes. Also let me know if you've dropped any extra characters that you may have had.

I haven't updated my CS to reflect my new partnership with Derpestein, but I will provide an update when I do.

Also, even though it says in my sig (not in great detail), but I'm usually at work in the morning and hanging out with my siblings at night, so I have very little time to myself. So long complex posts (such as updating my CS or editing the pairing list which involves a bit of QQCode syntaxing that is difficult to do on my phone) might require long wait times on the order of a day or so. My work week started earlier today and I only text replies when I'm on a short break or lunch. I generally haev more free time on weekends, so expect slower posting from me for the next few days. Just an FYI.

Now to work on changing Sadame Ishiyama to Maya Darkeyes.

I'mma be playing Rancealot's partner, soon as I get the character done

OK, I'm done modifying my CS, same images, different character.

Derpestein, please let me know if it fits with your character.

GM, please let me know if the character is OK or if The Bricklayer is OP.

Also, Zero Hex, I have included your placeholder on the pairing list.

Stern, yea, Bricklayer is a bit OP, it's a hammer that allows you to use what is essentially earth magic.

OK, switching ideas.

Would a magical chain work? As a weapon, she would hold a bundle of chain in her hand and swing it around to flay or whip opponents, but its special ability is to have multiple chains fly out of the cracks in her armor and form a spiderweb-like chain-link fence creating an immovable physical wall protecting those behind her. In this mode, she is part of the wall and cannot move, the wall is also not airtight so small things, fluid things or energy(like fire and heat) can still pass through (it also attracts lighting, ouch). The chain call also all be retracted back into the armor, providing extra armor in the form of chainmail. It's just a very physical, almost brutish type of weapon, but I want something with a defensive, physical aspect, but still unique and imaginative enough that I can play around with it.

FIRE CHAIN FIRE CHAIN FIRE CHAIN!

Also, I edited my CS.

ah man, don't let some negatives assholes ruin it. You're doing fine. Whats wrong is them having no patience, yeah you were a little unspecific, they could have adjusted there CS's slightly and waited for you to logon the next day instead of having a whine fest.

Don't feel bad. Everyone's overreacting. Tone and voice doesn't carry perfectly through text, and for whatever reason a few people assumed you were angry and rude when - to me, at least - it was clear you weren't.So you didn't clarify how mages use magic, whatever. Someone brought it up, and you took the suggestion and fixed it. The people bitching about having to make minor changes to their character sheets are the kind of people you should just ignore. If they can't spare five extra minutes, you can bet they won't be active during the actual RP.Honestly, the only thing you've done "wrong" is giving broad statements about what's wrong in general with the submitted character sheets, instead of looking at each sheet individually and telling the player what they need to change to get accepted.

Easily said to slightly change a CS if 90% of my char turned unusable with the new rules, I basically had to make a brand new one, that with rl time consuming and all, just to chaotic.
and since if I make a CS I take the time for it (generally I am busy for like 2 hours)

But further, I do apologize that Var felt like he had to step out, that was not the idea.
I have already sais all my thoughts and as I said before, I hope this rp will still be a good one.

I have not read the rest after these posts due to having more to do IRL so if anything else was posted, I wont have read it XD

It's great that you show so much passion for writing CS's. However it is also a bit of a mistake if you are going to write so much, to do it in one sitting without checking you arn't going astray, especially if you are going to invent a whole list of spells in Latin when the CS doesn't ask you to. So whilst I sympathize with having to change a lot of your CS to continue, CS's are meant to be changed. If you felt that the magic system was unspecified you should have brought it up, not written your own magic system.

To be clear; I'm not trying to heap criticism on you here, just trying to explain the way I see it.

Very meta. Extremely meta.

allow me to explain why I, and thousands other role players in a fantasy rp, would make such a mistake to making their own magic spells and systems.
In general, if a pre-explained magic system was not provided, that would mean that normally it was meant for the players to make up their own systems, a freedom in character skills and such if you would call it.
It is thus not surprising that many people would think of their own systems.

I as well thought that if there is no pre-given magic system, that its an all things go.
give people the chance to make their own sub-mage classes, I had an more elemental user, others might go with pure healer, some might be a allrounder.

seeing I felt this reminded me off the manga Negima magister, I used their spell setting, so I had to work on latin (only to find that either the spells used in the manga are a really weird type of latin/ self made, as the translation given and the latin did not add up, that or all online translators are faulty on each and every word)
so there my reason why it took so long to make the spells.

anyway, while i know a CS might need to be edited, this was just to much due to new rules, my chars past cant be used with the new settings, and his personality was worked out with the past, so that wont work anymore, then even excluding the latin, looking at all the magic rules, I only keep one spell that might (trough barely) fit into the rules and that one is a lightning body improvement spell, so aside the natural damage to the user (thanks to that rule) the body spell would without a doubt make that effect even worse (when logically thinking about it) so its a "I will increase my speed and agility and afterwards I will be paralyzed and unable to join, plus the spell in a fight would not be enough to win so my enemy would kill me as soon as my body caves in"

there is a difference between having to edit a char and start over from scratch

but that all aside, that was only one part of why I left.
Main reason is the high level activity here, I love the fact that its so active, but if the IC is just as active as the OOC, then I wont be able to keep up
(having to work once my hand gets better) running a household and most important of all, raise my little baby boy
pretty big bummer, otherwise I would have made a new char if I still had the easy go live I had when I went to school.
if I had not had to remake my chars, I might have risked it and otherwise left if it truly was to much, but all things together...

well at least if my negima IntCheck gets some people I have a char basis XD
but I fear that is not going to happen anytime soon...
its been up for a while and nothing...

aye, it is a little fast in here. I think the IC will be slower though, IC posts do tend to be longer :L Finding time for rping can be really hard, I remember last time I had exams and I was in a really active rp, stressssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. Goodluck with your Negima rp, I just had a look at the MAL and it sounds... interesting :L

A little fast
in just 2 days the ooc went from 5 pages to 14 xd
is thanks
if its interesting then I wonder why its so low on activity
if the IC appear to be reasonable in its pace
I might join again if that is allowed
that way I have also read the ic for a while and have a much better understanding of the wishes and ideas
since I need to work from scratch with a new cs, then that would be better in the end ^^

Hello, if anyone would like a partner I'm here. But please PM me so we don't have to search through 50 pages of CS's. I'm not going to develop a character until I have a partner.

There's a character list that Stern made somewhere.

Pairs, unpaired, unknowns, ETC.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I'll use 'complaining' next time, if that makes you happy.

Eh, that's less insulting to those that left so yeah, it's better.

I hjave known an OOC to knock out nearly a hundred pages in a day. And the IC, would do about one page a month.
