I just noticed something about this club that's currently going on that only a few people can notice.

This club is just endlessly planning and planning. If we keep doing this, nothing will ever get done. So let's just stop discussing future ideas or whatever, and stop bringing up past discussions that have been finalized. Let's just get things going for now, and when we're under way, then perhaps we can talk about more ideas down the road.

[Xeim]

Ok, so let's just wrap up the major issues at hand. Everything else can come later.

Inner RP. My post on this is a few pages back, and we're also going to incorpoate DH's battlefields idea into it. The inner RP will set the mood for the club. It will, in a sense, be the club. You don't have to write for it in every post, but it will affect a lot of what you do.

Tournament. Who's pariticpating? Who's not? Who doesn't care enough to post?

I think that's it. Other things to buff things up should be put on hold, like Toph said. And, if any of the leaders believe something else should be added to this, then add it. Heh. But don't go adding on a bunch of stuff, or we're right back to where we started.

Thank you Aerif. ^^ Hopefully I'm not too out of practice.

Just a thought, but even though we don't have a ranking system, would it still be appropriate to keep a running tally of everyone's wins, losses, draws, and notable achievements? Seems kind of silly to not keep track of official matches, at least.

[Mistress Sheena]

Yeah, keeping a tab like that is fine. It doesn't really mean anything anyway, just a stat record. So yeah, that'd be okay to do. I don't have a problem with it. It can be put in our signatures or something, along with in the first post.

This sounds absoloutly fantastic, a great system. I suggest we try it on a trial basis, maybe even put it in the upcoming tournament as a 'special' round, I already have ideas for unusual characters, this could get really interesting.

But honestly, I like the system of creating stock characters for people to get used to. It should provide a good challenge and increase the diversity of someone's creativity.

On the being assigned a character thing, it is a good idea, but if you are given a character, you will inevitably give it your own styles in battle. This might even alter its personality...which doesn't get us anywhere. But we should give it a go. Just don't force it if it fails...heh.

Thanks for the positive and negatives, I like being told whether I’m thinking along the right lines. I’ll write up some characters too, with original personalities. Xeim it is inevitable yeah, but only in the things you say, everybody uses their own minds to come up with things so in that respect it is inevitable, but hopefully this will at least broaden what people use i.e if we say the character is nice/decent or has a moral perspective when somebody usually goes for a ‘bad-ass’ approach then this may be more of a challenge for them and, like Toph said, broaden their creativity. It was the best way around some things that I could think of and I think that if everyone tries then it can be pulled off an will help them a lot too.

Ok, Hyz, just a couple things... No items are going to be rewarded. We came to that conclusion.

I know, I was just giving input. That’s all; you can change perspective with just a few simple words and maybe help people to think differently. I was only making suggestions.

I’ll look forward to out fight DH. That’s if it isn’t already up, I haven’t checked yet as I only just came on. Thanks to Aerif for accepting.

Like I said, I’m in the tournament. I think that was already written down.

Aerif and Xeim, if you both agree I’d quite like to try out the random character allocation out in an RP I am coming up with, so if I post you both the details would you be interested in creating some?

EDIT: Sorry DH, just noticed that it is up. Could you provide a link to your character for me. Mine will be Nkomis, I realise she is water based and that this is taking place in a desert but to me that makes it all the more interesting. Means I'll have to work harder to win.

Hopefully my post should be up tonight, I just have to study the lanscape as written in ToA and write a decent post reflecting it. So yeah, tonight, hopefully.

Thanks, Aimee.

Just wanted to throw out there that I will certainly participate in this tournament. I was beat to the punch on accepting DH's challenge, so I'm willing to throw out an open challenge of my own. I've not RPBed since the last TOA, and even then I barely tried with circumstances that arose during said tournament. Any takers?

And sis, we'll clash in that tourney at some point, I am sure. Be ready. =P

[DragonHeart]

Blah, apparently my profile was somehow deleted from the stats thread. Or maybe I never reposted it when the original was lost. Can't remember which. So for the moment, this is an old version of her profile, I'll have to rewrite it at some point. But anyways, all the basics are there.

The random character thing sounds kind of neat, too. I wouldn't mind trying it out at some point.

Bro, I'm always ready. It'll be a good one, that's for sure.

~DragonHeart~

[Mistress Sheena]

So I have my eight people for the tournament. I'll assign people letters or something and have an outsider make their choices. Similar to what Cesar does with the TOA. =P

[DragonHeart]

Hmm...I was just thinking about it, and I have a suggestion for the random characters. Instead of making one or two people do all the work, how about make it a group project? Anyone who wants to participate in the battles can design 2-3 characters of their own to be added to the mix. There's a chance that they can draw their own characters, but that just adds to the fun. ^^

Toph Bei Fong (7:30:14 PM): Randomize the letters A through H. xD
Soldier #819 (7:30:22 PM): A B C D E F G H
Toph Bei Fong (7:30:33 PM): XD
Toph Bei Fong (7:30:34 PM): hahaha
Soldier #819 (7:30:28 PM): By some coincidence they all came out in the same order
Soldier #819 (7:30:34 PM): >.>
Toph Bei Fong (7:30:46 PM): lawl
Soldier #819 (7:30:46 PM): DEFGABH? =P
Toph Bei Fong (7:31:08 PM): i think you're missing a C but okay. XCD
Soldier #819 (7:31:11 PM): DEFCGABH
Soldier #819 (7:31:12 PM): =P
Toph Bei Fong (7:31:23 PM): =P

Okay, I have received the randomized order of letters. And am now going to post up the tournament bracket.

D vs E - Red vs Prodigal Madness
F vs C - Darkwolf vs Hyzenthlay
G vs A - DragonHeart vs Toph Bei Fong
B vs H - Xeim vs Psiko

So, I'll have these threads up sometime within the week (unless that's too soon). Aerif'll have to judge the tournament since two judges are in it. XD;; Unless we get the services of Spike or psychosyd, though.

Also, those who are in the tournament, please register which character you are going to use in it. No changing characters during the tournament, please. No.. changing anything about the characters you're using, either.

[LocoColt04]

Oh yeah, and I should probably drop a line.

You know, since I got that PM forever and a day ago.

I'll be active after the holiday shopping season ends. Someone remind me and I might actually have time to participate in some club events and such.

[Mistress Sheena]

Will do just that, Cesar. I'll go ahead and add you in the list. I'll be sure to remind you every now and again.
