It has been redesigned, however, to still accommodate for new members, so all are welcome to join. (The original WttG was short-lived besides, so you didn’t miss much.)

Simple version: You know that age-old adage of "You can do anything as long as you believe in it"? That applies here. Literally. Muse just said that Callum had Avatar-like powers in the hope that that would trigger the belief in said powers. If I have this right, the inverse also holds true to some extend. That is, if you have no reason to believe that you are not able to do something, you'll be able to do it. Right, Kaga?EDIT: Also, the BEWD has 3000/2500 in terms of stats. But eh, sidenotes.

Pretty much this.

It works on the principle that everything a roleplayer says/writes in a roleplay becomes "canon" and therefore exists in the Guild world. When you write something, you believe that it becomes part of the roleplay.

Therefore, so long as you believe you are capable of certain things, you can do them. Sorry I didn't explain that to you earlier - I thought I did.

Anyway, that's why Muse said that Callum had a specific set of powers even though he was sort of lying, at least the way he phrased it. Up until this point, he's been telling people, "You can do virtually anything so long as you truly believe you're capable", but that hasn't been working out so well on most RPers. So he told Callum, "These are your powers - trust me because with everything else going on, it's totally believable" hoping he would believe the lie and therefore have said powers. Therefore, when he reveals that he made up the elemental powers thing and explains where those powers really came from, it'll be easier for the other RPers to believe Muse about the way powers work here - and it'll be easier for them to start utilizing the powers themselves.

Points for speeding up the process?

This post count? Daunting?

Fitting I suppose since it's been around pretty much since the dawn of new Guild (could you tell at all that the idea was partially inspired by Guildfall?). Still, I feel the need to point out that I've seen RP's much larger and longer - at least on the old Guild. I've participated in threads with literally hundreds of IC pages and thousands of OOC pages. Though I can see how this website is young enough that no RP could really reach that length yet - unless it moved really really quickly.

But yeah I used to be in an RP whose OOC was literally the longest thread in the entire forum database*. ...We checked.

*Until the Men vs Women thread in the Spam forum outpaced it - but details.

Edit: I got off-topic from the point I was originally trying to make.

Point is, prior to your comment I never would've considered this thread to be of "daunting" length.

Hopefully that day will not be the day of their death. I mean, sure, they'd have learned not to trust GM, but knowledge like that isn't all that useful when you're dead.
Eh, at least the survivors would then be able to learn from the poor victim's demise, so that's something? :P

Mentioning the Men VS Women thread brings back memories. Particularly the 'What is the avatar above you thinking?' thing.

Anyways, I find threads with 100+ posts daunting because generally, the plot has already started, and even if the GM says it's open forever, the story has advanced too far and would require quite some time to read it all.

[Rithas]

Oh...the magical plot. A thing that I'll never truly grasp. Bleh, the only thing I've ever been in that I personal (OPINION) thought could be "daunting" was one called World of Randomness *Emotion tears* But All I remember from that is one liners :D Still, It's my only RP that got past 500 pages on the IC....So emotional

Man, I loved the 'what is the avatar above you thinking' thread. I remember getting some very amusing responses from that one. XD

At any rate, I never expect players to read all the IC before joining an already-started thread, at least not once it's gone on this long. If you really want to join I can always provide you with a quick summary of events; 'tis what I usually do.

I have been freaking out SO much when I see the Series Eight trailers.

I haven't seen any full-length trailers yet, but I did see a few teasers.

And in one of those teasers they had the tiniest little moment that made me very, very excited for things to come - because it implied that they're doing something they haven't done since the Classic series and I'm so happy they're finally getting to it in the new series.

ALSO I FEEL THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO MENTION THIS SINCE THIS IS MY THREAD AND I MAKE THE RULES: As I may have mentioned before, season 8 won't start till I'm in college, and I don't know whether or not I'll actually be able to watch the episodes as they air (first year living in college - don't really know if I can expect that luxury), so because it might take me a while to get around to watching them, I want to say right now that I want all discussion/reactions to season 8 (once it actually airs of course) to be spoiler tagged. We can discuss the show freely when/if I'm able to watch the newest episodes.

In the meantime, I want to know nothing. Even if all my hopes/predictions turn out to be 100% correct - don't tell me. I want to see it for myself.

[Rithas]

Poor soul,not being able to watch it right away :(

[Rithas]

Oh, and Callum never asked the GM, he asked Muse

Also oops...double post...somehow
