[OOC] RPGuild Ranking Headquarters!

[GeliophobHyena]

Can I still sign up?

[Alphakoka]

This is the Ranking, so sure, sign up away.

[Takashi]

I'd like to jump in on this and see how it goes. Sign me up. I'll throw together a catalogue of my combat characters sometime today and see if I can snag any challengers.

[Athinar]

I'm fairly new to the Arena scene (by which I mean totally inexperienced) although I do get the gist of it. I've read most of the material, and I'm just declaring my interest here.

[Skallagrim]

Welcome. Post a character, find a fight, win or lose, then repeat. Ask questions. Don't think you know it all. Never assume your characters 'flawless' martial skills will win. Have fun

@Athinar

Hahaa, don't worry some of the vets don't bite...unless you're asking for it. Though nice to see you didn't waste much time after our conversation.

XD Geeze, a lot has change since during the old site's set up and nice to see it evolve from what I was learning. Now... to get off my ass and finish up either Virska J’iark or revamp Ironhorse. Btw, might as well toss in my interest as well. I just hope this works out better than my last experience in the arena. I only managed to finish one battle, pm between Lyzan and me, before the site went down. Btw, this is me registering my interest. :p Might as attempt it at least.

[MelonHead]

Cool, some of the people who first joined the Arena dissapeared so it's good to see some new faces. I'm sure Rilla will get you all on the leaderboards soon. If anyone is looking for an unranked duel to get back into the swing of things or to make some new multiverse stories happen (it's good to try and involve yourself with as many characters as possible earlier on to form some rivalries and friendships) I'm more than available.

I'll do ranked as well if you're up for it, as my other two fights aren't overly taxing and I'm sure I can handle the tourny as well.

[Athinar]

@SkallagrimThanks! (Also your textual combat thing helped a LOT)
@FallenreaperHaha, nope, I'm not one for wasting time.

[Rilla]

Just turn on your little thing and you're in. My list is mainly a whose interested thing. I should probably update it regularly, as well as get fights added to the list.

Also, I'll add you people tomorrow. Papa Rilla's grandpa(by marriage) died a couple days back, so I got a funeral to go to. Then off to work a hour and a half later.

[Fallenreaper]

@MelonheadYeah, I doubt Guildfall helped at all. I manage to get in contact with Lyzan at least once but end up losing him when RL hastily devoured him. So I sort of lost my mentor for a while. Been learning a bit from another fighter, Tearstone, experienced fighter as well, who's happy to see how much the arena has changed. Not sure if he will show up to register or not though.

I might check out the multiverse though I'm a little hesitate because it seems like continual fighting with all the character development done during that. Not something I'm too fond of because I need interaction, outside physical, conflict for character development. Else I have a limited range of emotions based on the PC as well as reactions. That and I would become drained after a while. >,< So I need to mull it over some.

I'm going to hold off on ranked battle for a bit until I've gotten some experience and relearned the basics. I'll, likely for my first match, will find another newbie and ask a vet to oversee the fight. This would allow him or her so point out suggestions, realistic possibilities, hold explain the physics and more. A decent way to learn to me.

@RillaIndeed but I'm just as lazy with things..XD
Also, take your time Rilla's as I'm in no hurry. RL>RP always.

@Fallenreaper

The multiverse is the exact opposite of what you describe it as. Without it, the only character development would be through fighting. Also I'm a newbie. :P

Just ask RIlla.

[MelonHead]

Yeah, as I've tried to explain continuously, the fights are more like turning points in your character's history. There are plenty of non combat-orientated methods to explore characters that people have chosen not to utilize, the HQ being the prime example of this.

[Skallagrim]

Yes. An arena multiverse depends on the non-combat interactions to develop characters and give reason to fight

@GreivousKhan

As I should've said, I know this only from old guild so it might've changed. The scenes I was reading, everyone was in battle or another in the ic at the times I was looking. >_>

...*recalls seeing the username in the last tourney before Guildfall* I might've not been involved with the arena much but I did keep my eye out on the tourney and matches that caught my eye. If I recall right, You, Melon and Lyzan made it into the finals. Lyzan-final fantasy based, with earth and wind magics. Beserker as well. Melon-normal guy with a stone hand, and You- had the skeleton character that rearrange his bones. I believe Melon won that match, though not sure. After Lyzan's PC died by being cut in half, his beserker mode ended, I didn't read the thread.

Then again it has been a while.

@Fallenreaper

The fact anyone thinks melon won that is insulting. :K

[Athinar]

So, I finished my Character Sheet for Athinar. I envisioned him as sort of a BBEG for the multiverse (albeit one who just dicks around, instead of trying to end everything.)

[MelonHead]

@GreivousKhan

If you had lost to a character two to three tiers lower than your own you'd have never heard the end of it, even if it hadn't been one of my first fights when I was still a beginner.

Though I still haven't beaten you since, you tend to run away or leave in OOC before I can kill you, we'll see if I can change that in one of the two ranked fights.

[Fallenreaper]

@GreivousKhan

Considering you claimed to be a newbie a bit ago... *raises eyebrow*

Again, I admitted I didn't keep track of the match. So I don't know who won, I've seen surprises come in all shapes and forms.

@MelonHead

Well he was probably only a tier below him. He had average speed, strength, but above average durability for his tier.

@Fallenreaper

Yeah, Khan's a liar, in terms of pure volume of fights he probably has more than anyone here.
