Rules: Just the TFF rules. The rule of no flaming needs some stressing though. We had some problems with it in the last club, and it will not be tolerated in the slightest in this new thread. Watch carefully where you tread. We reserve the right to ban you from the club if you flame. Also, as a new enforcement: No Bickering or Drama. If you want to argue with someone, take it outside. We've had enough of it to last a millennium. Now, there's nothing wrong with proper discussions. Just no bickering, okay?

Training Activities - These are activities designed to improve certain areas of writing that you are not quite up to par with, or wish to improve. These areas can range from spelling errors to lack of character depth. They are also meant to be enjoyable ways in which to improve.

Current Training Activies: N/A

Example by DragonHeart:
Challenge: The Time Mage

Objective: The Time Mage has stolen something important from you. To get it back you must land three attacks on him before he escapes.

The Challenge: Every time you make a tense shift in your post, the Time Mage teleports to a new area. You have ten seconds to jump through the rift in time and space to pursue him, and then you must also locate him again.

If you land a successful attack and then the next has a tense shift, he will teleport and heal one previous wound. So if he has two wounds and teleports, when you find him he will only have one.

The Time Mage does not attack or counterattack.

Time Limit: You have six attack attempts to stop the Time Mage before he escapes with the stolen item. If he gets away you may retry the challenge, but he will keep the item he has stolen and steal a second item in addition. If you win the second time you get both back, but if you lose he keeps both. Double or nothing, essentially.

Oh! Oh! I'm in!

I'm glad we finally got this going again, it had a lot of potential. Do you want me to try and contact some of the old members via PM? Or should we just wait around and see if they notice we're back? xD

Either way,

Kanpai!

What is RPB?

I must learn more about this new concept! Teach me, Obi Wan Kenobi! You are my only hope!

But on a more serious note, I'd be willing to throw my two cents in here. In fact, it has been too long since I've done writing of any kind. Perhaps a good RP/RPB is what I need to kick that back into gear once more!!!

Any challengers feel free to request a dual. I'll take you all on. XD

*Mistress Sheena* · 11-20-2007, 09:29 PM

Good to see you here, David. You're automatically in. =P
I'm familiar with your work. Unless you want to take the scenario test. =P

Silver · 11-21-2007, 12:44 AM

Hello there. Yeah I got a pm from Xeim telling me this was up. Cool.
I don't know if I'll be as active with the RPBs due to a bigger interest in some other RPs now, but I should be able to get an RPB post in every day or two.

If you'll accept another old Demonia member of course...

Hyzenthlay · 11-21-2007, 02:07 AM

I'm out completely. Toph took absolute control when it wasn't his to take.

Count me out.

Aimee.

Edit: To PM, I was all up for it when 4 of us were joint leaders. Taking it upon yourself to control an established club is ludecrous. I don't get why he'd do that.

I joined a club that was ran by a guy that drew all of you together. I don't want to be shouted at by a guy that didnt put any effort into teh club in the first place.

Thats all I have to say.
I feel quite betrayed actually, I guess thats why I'm angry.

Edit 2:

Not to be a pain PM but I did try to get this going. I was one of the ones who cared that it did re-start. I wanted to join really really bad but this club started out with a democratic approach which has been thrown.

And I'm not spamming because I was a member of the club in the first place and still want to to be a part of it. I just don't get why Toph has done certain things. Anyway, I was sending a withdrawal notice in response to a private message. NO spam involved if there is no topic to spam on.

I can't see how it can flourish as it is currently. I really wanted to be part of this as well. I had 2 completed competitions ready for it and I would offer them forward to Toph anyway.

I don't like my tone.

Nice to see Xeim and Toph takin interest though, Psiko is also interesting to see play. If I can be assured that I won't be constantly told off by a singular person I'd join right away. I don't vie for leadership, I just want joint leaders. I'd be happy if decisions were placed upon 2 or more people. I hate monachy in clubs like this.

I'm rambling. Sorry. I'll talk in Private from now on.

Prodigal Madness · 11-21-2007, 02:47 AM

No offense Hyzen, but no one else seemed to be doing much.

Anyway, I'm back in.

Well...could be cause it's been forever and a half since the idea was suggested and no one was acting on it? You post to join a club, or to participate... not to say you're doing neither. That's called spam.

*Mistress Sheena* · 11-21-2007, 08:33 AM

Well, here is my explanation for not including any of the old leaders.

1. DH was not interested in the first place, not even in the previous establishment, she just didn't want to be rude and turn down an invite.
2. Aerif hasn't been active in who knows how long. Probably busy with things again.
3. I'm sorry for lecturing/scolding you a lot, but we all know that the previous leader was yourself and your friend. Don't say "some guy". It was you. And do you know how much chaos there was in the old club because of that? No, I don't mean because of you, I mean because of how "Alexander" was. He hardly did shit at all. Don't say he did a lot. He did practically nothing except open the club up. He had poor, vague rules that had very little sense within the club.

And besides, who said I'm taking sole leadership? Notice how the title says "Leaders", not "Leader". If you promise to actually take your time and do things correctly and not half ass anything (Remember when you created the thread with a different name that we agreed upon in the old thread and with the same old intro? >_>), then you can be a leader again.

I don't really mean to offend you or anything like that and I'm sorry if I did, but I just didn't like how the old club was run. It was very unorganized.

*cough*Aerif still here >_<;

I'm still interested... I do have work going on although TFF is my priority.

However with nothing going on I didn't really post much...

I miss my RP

Storm · 11-21-2007, 10:07 AM

Ahh... as you know Toph, I've been wanting to get back into my roleplaying recently, so I request to join. Hopefully get back to the good times of being in RPs together, I miss it so (arsekiss do I much? >.<)! I have a couple of university assaignments to do, but since i'm on top of them at the moment I shouldn't have trouble with activity, but if I have any problems arising from the course being demanding I shall post in advance.

*Mistress Sheena* · 11-21-2007, 10:19 AM

Well, looks like Aerif's issue has been solved, so back on the list he goes. And alright, Storm. Let's get you on the list as well. And if you want to do the scenario test, you can. ^_^

Musicmuse · 11-21-2007, 11:07 AM

Count me back in...

... I've been busy and not around lately with trying to get my school plans back together, but I really would like to buckle down and get back into the swing of things shortly.

Glad we're back up and running

Darkwolf · 11-21-2007, 02:53 PM

Count me in, of course. Hopefully we can get some RPB's started back up again, since right now I've sort of hit a dead spot in all of my current unfinshed ones *sigh* So, that's about it. Hopefully things pick up nicely and we can have a club that is going to run smoothly.
