[OOC] The Faraway Land

[Thinslayer]

@rush99999 Kinda waiting on you. Got writer's block?

[ManoftheNorth]

@Darkwatck01 I am calm, my friend. I prefer to point corrections to people. Because you are yet again, making an assumption. Rather than asking me, what the Compass is, or how it works. You merely force you assumption onto it, in an attempt to make your point seem more valid.

Now I say not with anger, but with logic. Next time, ask someone something, rather than assume. The Compass is a magical artifact, not a spell, and it doesn't consume my Character's mana.

[Darkwatck01]

Right....

Lore: Fairy Dust

Back in the day, it was called Sensitive Electro-Empathic Dust, or S.E.E.D., and was developed by Crescent scientists to be the ultimate tool. Bridging the gap between the physical and the metaphysical, Seed was designed to respond to mental commands to perform any task imagined. It's a powerful little nanomachine, able to suspend itself in any gravitational space and manipulate its environment with millions of times more force than its own weight. Since the apocalypse, its full power and scope of use has been lost to humanity. Today, mages use it as simple fuel, for it is able to absorb mana from its environment and sustain a substantial charge.

Controlling it is another animal entirely. Two systems were designed: the first was a computerized circlet (today called the Crown of Fire, because of the light it produces) that reads the wearer's brain waves and transmits them in a manner readable to Seed. The second system was a genetic modification yielding the same effect. After years of development, the ability to control Seed through one's own natural thoughts became a passable genetic trait. It's a recessive trait, however, and the population of those carrying it is dwindling.

Vast quantities of Seed were scattered all over the planet after the demon apocalypse, and over time, people have come to believe it is a part of nature. The rare individuals who were born with the ability to control Seed are viewed with reverence and awe, and are even worshipped in some circles. Whoever they are, they have the power to profoundly shape their world more than they know. It's only a matter of time before they discover it.

Ummm. I hate to be that guy... but I came into this Rp mostly due to the fact your initial description of this Rp was "Generic" fantasy..

Yet.. that doesn't seem the case?

[ineffable]

@ManoftheNorth
I guess that's up to @Thinslayer to decide and Thins been an awesome GM all throughout everything so I say you just go with it. Yet a mistag didn't do anything to hurt anybody does it?

[ManoftheNorth]

Let me be frank. I am not be any means denoting him as a person, or as a Gm altogether. But I avidly voice logic. As I have stated before. Generally, it is common knowledge for people to KNOW the setting of the Rp. As it goes, everything about this Rp says it is a classic Fantasy setting.

There is no previous knowledge, no statements, no reveals, no OOC ellaboration of this being a Pseudo-Sci-Fi/Fantasy setting. It doesn't even note at it being Post-Sci-Fi Fantasy traversal. All it says is that it is fantasy. Now, while to SOME of you it may not seem like a huge deal. Some of us join Rps looking for a specific thing, and I don't commonly join an rp understanding it to be one thing with the given knowledge, only to be told and have it explained otherwise once I am in the Rp.

I didn't come into this with the mentality of Nano-machines, and pseudo-magical technology. I came into it for some good, traditional, fantasy. However, it seems I was mistaken, and I say I because apperantly me pointing out that this is truly @Thinslayer 's fault, seems unreasonable to you. That is of course your opinion.

By all means, I respect you for such, but I will say. A "great Gm" would do well to fully explain the world and the setting, and the mechanics of an Rp before throwing their players into it. Knowledge is power, and this Rp seems a little on the weak end right now.

[rush99999]

@Thinslayer

Pretty much.

[ineffable]

@ManoftheNorth
Okay, for one thing I was just pointing it out in a friendly manner so I didn't entirely expect you to get so riled up.
So to set things straight once again:
- You came into this RP way past it's open tag so that's already an extenstion for you.
* Plus we have welcomed you into it.
- You already got mad with @Darkwatck01 not soon after your arrival and now here's your long lengthy post putting down the GM @Thinslayer
* And please note I've had my own disagreements with Thin but our roleplay is already in so long already.
- It was a friendly comment to yours.

And honestly please don't get so angry, I understand your opinions and I would gladly back off but I'll just leave this comment here before I reside to my own quiet dark corner of this OOC.

@rush99999
Awww that must suck.
In cases of writer's block ask everyone here what they think that you should do. Helped me loads.
But good luck, wonderful writer!

[ManoftheNorth]

@ineffable I really wish everyone would stop assuming I am angry.

Merely because I voice my opinion with clear notion of who I believe is it at fault, or for what reasons I am speaking up, doesn't mean I am angry. I am merely a blunt and honest man. I don't hold back my views and words. It doesn't mean I am angry. I explain my logic in length, my views are made with elaborations. I am merely someone who doesn't quit speaking just because others feel it is mean, or rude.

I don't commonly believe in holding back the truth, or one's opinions. I will always speak up about how I feel about anything. I was excited for this rp when I first read about it, and I was happy to have been able to join it. However those circumstances don't stop me from voicing my views and and opinions on topics that rise.

To be fair, I was merely asking my initial question about the setting, to get a reply from Thin about the setting in better explanation. You say I am angry, but by all appearances you seem the one disgruntled with my speaking and seem irritated.

[Darkwatck01]

@ManoftheNorth

Alright then Tigger, I am always willing to give the Benefit of the Doubt. Its good your blunt, but do well to remember this. Text can't Emote as well as a voice. Using Harsh words and sentences structures that feel harsh, even if it doesn't sound like it to you, comes off as being angry.

Perhaps I was the one jumping to conclusions, I am willing to admit it and while Thin tries to remember the setting of this Story (Which he did tell me as we went over it and I really feel the S.E.E.D thing is a bit of an Ass-pull here. That being said my digression was the type of 'enchantment' used here. If its an Inanimate object that has an ability on standby (in this case the 3D GPS system) its going to take a rather honest amount of Mana or energy en-general to preform. Energy of course is an always flowing source, and our bodies do make a lot of it, but 90% of all energy is burned off as heat. It makes since where we can get the energy from, but how we use it depends on if we can feel it.

As stated this is a Fanticy setting, and I have stressed to Thinslayer that he should be getting the Setting/Story/Lore out before things like this happen instead of waiting for them to pop up and change how the lore works so far. I will do my best to get the information out as I get it from him, but right now I will be the one to say this.

Sorry for Assuming your anger, I should of asked questions, but I still stand by what I said.

[ineffable]

@ManoftheNorth
Understood and I am a tad bit irritated though I'll just be in my quiet corner.

[Thinslayer]

Ummm. I hate to be that guy... but I came into this Rp mostly due to the fact your initial description of this Rp was "Generic" fantasy..

Yet.. that doesn't seem the case?

@ManoftheNorth

It's not sci-fi. It's still very much generic fantasy. There's magic, elves, orcs, and mysterious ancients. We're going to be defeating our foes with magic swords and the power of hope. There just happens to be some sci-fi lore behind it all.

Look, the sci-fi origins aren't terribly important to the story. It's mainly there for fun, and to allow for non-magical solutions to things for characters strapped for mana. I can take it out if need be.

[Thinslayer]

@rush99999 Yeah, stepping into your shoes, we didn't leave you with much of a hook to write on. You kinda got left out of the action. Dangit.

Maybe have him do his Storyteller business - writing everything down and dramatizing it. Could you make something with that?

[rush99999]

@Thinslayer

I can work with that.

[Thinslayer]

My post could have been written better. >_<

[Darkwatck01]

Blah, short and too the point.

[Lord Zee]

I'll have something up tomorrow.

[Thinslayer]

@Cuccoruler@rush99999
I wonder how Vert will react to seeing the armored woman engaging Edward. She may not realize it's Erudessa unless the Storyteller tells her, and if he does...will there be a murder? >:)
