World of Warcraft earthen are pretty cool I think. Molded and born from stone.

I think the failing of most Fate RPs is that they have each person play both a master and servant. The problem with this is that the bonds between the servant and their master are the deepest growth.

I'm sorry to people who had put effort into the RP I was starting a few months ago. My father passed away unexpectedly on the 1st of July, at the age of 56. So I haven't really been on here much.

I don't care what anyone says, I'm having the most fun with FFXV that I've had with a game since Metal Gear 5.

Artura watched the fight with mild interest. Not that she strictly WASN'T interested. It was just that the fights were more for the other guild members. She knew rather well what they could all do. After all a display of ability was a required part of the process to join the guild. She knew all their strength, but they didn't quite know hers. Perhaps she might change that at the tournament... a surprise duel between the winner of the tournament, and herself. She didn't know yet, still something she was contemplating. Perhaps... perhaps not.
She sat up and looked to the side at Shandria, wanting to ask something of her, but once again was unsure if she should. Shandria seemed to be watching the fight... and she was about to ask her to go do something but she wondered if she might be ruining the tournament for her if she sent her off to be running an errand during it. She didn't know how long it would take after all. Finally she decided to ask anyways. Wouldn't hurt to give her the option.
"Shandria, I haven't seen my daughter about. Can you go find her for me? You don't have to if you'd rather watch the tournament, I can go do it instead. After all, no telling where she is or how long it will take to find her. She might have run off into town... or still be asleep. I can't really say for sure. Either way like I said, if you don't want to go, you don't have to. I'm mostly just wondering if you're that interested in the fight or if you wouldn't mind going to do something else for however long it ends up taking."

Yeah a Dwarf would be nice but she already has a character in mind xD
Inb4 opening up character profiles specifically to anyone who will play a Dwarf as an eigth member.

Nobody's angry. Damiann just wants to keep the RP going and not see it die, and seeing a good amount of time pass without a post and without much chatter in the OOC often gives the vibe that people are losing interest. I'll be posting in the morning, and I also want to say I don't want anyone to worry about interrupting anything or posting too much. Let's refrain from posting one liners or you know, little 3-4 sentence posts. But if you feel you have enough to post for a couple paragraphs, then go ahead. Don't worry about others. Feel free to just do your own thing as long as there isn't anyone you need to wait on. Meaning if two people are having a conversation, you don't NEED to wait for the two people fighting to post before you do. There's no issue with just doing your own thing here as long as it's all within the same scene.
That being said of course I do encourage people to respond to everything going on around them, and not just sit off in little groups of 2-3 doing their own things while a couple others do theirs, and a couple others do theirs. It's all part of the same scene, remember that, but also remember that consistent, active posts is what keeps a RP alive. But for that to be the case it has to be a healthy balance between consistent posts and the content within them. There's no point in posting every few hours if it's just a 4 sentence post every time. Likewise there's no point in waiting for every single member of the RP to post before you post yourself if it means waiting 3 days just to have a couple paragraphs of responding to an IC question.
A balance has to be found, and that's a part of advanced RP in that size of posts isn't everything but a balance between post size and post detail has to be found.
With all that being said, this tournament isn't just for the characters to better understand each other and learn trust IC. It's also for people to see each other's actions IC and have a good understanding of their abilities OOC by being able to see them across a few scenes. Genius no? I totally intended it to be like that from the very start. Yeup. All me. I thought that up. You can praise my intellect and ignore the midget in the corner saying I didn't even think about such a purpose for the scene until just now.
ANYWAYS HEY GUYS A QUICK NEWS UPDATE AND WARNING INSPIRATIONAL SPEECH AHEAD sort of
I believe I mentioned in here that I made this RP for a friend. They wanted to get back into RP, I brought up the old RP I did when I tried this idea before on another site, and they said the idea sounded awesome and they wanted to be a part of something like that. It was because of them wanting to do this RP that I started it in the first place. However they have been dealing with a lot lately and haven't had the right mindset or been in the mood to make an attempt at getting back into RP.
I've been talking with them to see if they still want to take part, or if they want to just join later on, or if they don't want to take part at all and just forget about the whole thing and I'll stop bringing it up. OR would I... anyways. They still want to join. They said they need a few days of recovery from the going ons of the last few days, and then they'll be ready. So our seventh member will be joining in the next few days.
She means a lot to me, and RP is a huge part of our history I want to reexplore together with her and make all the talk about "How things used to be" the same talk we can have about the here and now. So let's give her something wonderful to come into alright?

We have a 7th person but, I'm still waiting on them to decide if they want to join or not. I made this RP in the first place for them because they wanted to get back into RP and loved this idea, so I'd like to keep the slot open for them until they decide they absolutely aren't going to join. They're going through some things lately and don't know yet if they're in the right mindset to get back into RP.
I'd probably at least wait until both Kaito and Grey have done something and then you can respond to their actions as well.
Artura looked down to Shandria and smirked. "Come now Shandria, let him play his mind games. Everything matters in a battle from beginning to end, even before the combat starts." She stood up and looked down at the two, and up to the rest who were watching. "Today we will find out who the strongest person in the guild is. You will earn little more than bragging rights, but there is more to it than a show of strength. As you all know, recently quests have been divided between five tiers of difficulty. All of us, myself included, are starting out at rank one and will work our way up. Becasue of this, rank four, and rank five quests will be temporarily prohibited. Rank two quests can be done if two or more rank one members take part, and a rank three quest can be done if three or more take part. What this means is, if you want to do the more difficult quests you will have to work together as a guild like never before. Not just becasue of a quest's difficulty, but because you are literally prohibited from doing quests above your rank without aid."
She looked around at the different members of the guild. Shandria, Kaito, Grey, Gareth, Silvia. Even her own daughter likely lurking around somewhere, and of course all the other members of the guild. "I trust in all of you, to protect each other and use each other's strengths. But first you all have to see those strengths for yourselves. So this tournament will allow you to enter combat with your fellow guild members, and see first hand what strengths they offer. What power they hold and how reliable in a fight they are. There is no better way to get to know a person than to fight them one on one."
She sat back down on her "throne" aka big chair, one leg crossing over the other. "That being said don't try to kill each other. There's not enough of us to be throwing our lives away in duels. So have a nice, clean fight." She held her hands up and motioned to each of the combatants. "Grey, this is your brother. Kaito, this is your sister. For a short time, you will be enemies. But don't lose yourselves to rage in combat, and don't do anything you will regret. Hold back, and you will lose. Go overboard, and you will lose family. That is your challenge here today in this arena."
Little did anyone know the little flags that made the circle of the arena, and by far gave plenty of room to move around, had runes etched into them. It was a protective barrier, and neither side could suffer fatal wounds. After leaving the circle, their bodies would be reversed in time to the point they entered, restoring their energy and mending any wounds. But it wasn't any fun if they knew that. If the threat of mistakes and death wasn't real, they wouldn't take it as seriously. And Artura needed them to see each other's feelings, even behind a mask. Every swing of the sword, every spell cast. If one was holding back for the other's sake, they would see it. They would understand the emotions going through their mind. The danger of hurting a fellow guild member, a member of their family. And at the same time, they would see their strength to push past that danger and win.
Little else mattered now but a chance at victory, and the truest victory was bringing the guild closer together.

May as well, yeah.
I don't think we need a post order. If you do something that involves someone, just give them a chance to respond but if what you are doing is pretty much a back and forth between you and someone else, AKA the fight, then there's no reason to hold back your posts. Others can post as they wish but I say keep it moving forward.
