And yay, just got level 4 with... Almost 700 xp coming from doing stuff other than quests? o.0

Oh well~

Ah, and @Nahrenne, I left your report unappraised since you tagged Ohko to evaluate it and stuff, so I left it to them~

Mm, I know.
Thanks for notifying me, though.

Also, don't overwork yourself like you did on NUF AG.

On a side note, I was trying to think on how to "solve" those recent plotlines with stuff like a thousand of slimes, demons appearing in the city, some shady organizations behind the apothecaries and what not... And like... It's certainly not the only method, but in old AG we used to make those things culminate in a Raid.

As for what was a Raid? It was kinda like the Freestyle RP thread, but with a few restrictions... Like, we put a maximum word count per post in order to keep things dynamic and avoid having someone do a myriad of things in a single post. (usually something between 500-1000 words. I liked 750 words, personally speaking) And we also prohibited double posting. Oh, and all posts had to be "OPEN", so anyone could always hop into whatever you were doing and interfere with it in some way.

But uhn... to better explain it, let me try to give an example. Let's assume a bandit army is attacking Scribel. (because hey, why not?)

What would usually happen in is that the GM team would determine a duration for the raid, and give some rough details about what the Bandit Army was doing, and then give a few tasks for the players to handle. This would "Open" the raid.
From that point, players basically had to interact with things just like they do in the Freestyle thread in order to clear the objectives that the GMs put up... Then we'd add some twist based on our evil behind-the-scene plans and on the player's actions and give new tasks to the players... And so on forth until the Raid ended, which usually lasted 3 or so days.
... It often times also had a Raid boss or something, though in all honesty I never liked any of the executions we got with Raid Bosses, so I won't bother with explaining how we made it work.

I really liked the raids system and it was a lot of fun (most players liked it too!), but uhn... It was very taxing on the GM team because we needed to prepare quite a few things to keep the raid exciting for 3ish days and we needed to constantly keep watch on the thread throughout the days of the raid because we needed to know when to drop our planned twists, or adapt them based on what players did... Or come up with something new on the spot because someone did something we didn't expect.

And well, with the way this version of AG works with a less intensive GM participation and relying mostly on players for doing everything, this model plain and simply wouldn't work. (besides, I doubt Ohko has the time to invest on that... >.>) So some adaptations would be needed.

Most simple thing I could think of was that the players would have to plan how the attack would start in the OOC Thread, and then someone would post it on the Freestyle Thread to kick things off. Afterwards, we'd just need to add twists and what not on the spot as we felt like it could be fun. Until we felt like it would be a good point to close the raid off by finishing the enemies off or forcing their retreat and what not.

... I'm not sure if this would really work tbh, or if it's even necessary. But it was something very fun that happened in old AG, so I thought I'd at least share the concept and see what everyone thinks~

I know this is a bit unrealistic but I wish we could have like few players collab for making the storyline and others playing it. Afterall this time for ag, we all can act as gm.

Or just do plan in ooc + execute in freestyle with one guy making sure there are no conflicts.

I specifically avoided the staff position for this exact reason! xD

I'm not sure if it's unrealistic tbh? It could totally work if properly organized~

Why are the ancient civilizations always the most developed ones? Like... Hello? They're ancient! Their technology is bad! Their grasp of magic is bad! Their agriculture is bad! Stop trying to make old things good! >.<

By definition most ancient civs have more time to research tech and so should have better tech than others unless it collapsed or something.

Assuming history starts at year 0, an ancient civilization that disappeared at year 500, had 500 years to do their research.

A newer civilization at year 1200 had 1200 years of knowledge passed down to them, which includes the 500 years of the Ancient Civilization. Unless it somehow collapsed while burying all of its knowledge with itself, newer civilizations should always have more knowledge.

Usually, I go with high-tech is replicating divinity and gods hated it. Proceeded to destroy any technologically advanced civilization that came to close to interstellar age. But that's just me.

Ooh we are talking about two slightly different things. You are talking about ruins. I am talking about ancient civs as in China and India.

 

[Himekawa]

at last, Meiko is level 2! Though she wondered how many people feel weird seeing her appearance.

Say, if meiko want to be a blacksmith, does she need to get firewood? Is it possible for her to borrow the firewood cart after using it for the quest?

*notes how Britain actually went backwards in technology and knowledge after the Romans left - leading to the Dark Ages*

Oh, that one can work too for sure~

... I usually just prefer to play with the idea that in a medi-fantasy setting, nobody got that far, so this isn't even a worry on the head of the gods~

Well, the context was specifically about ruins of ancient civilizations, wasn't it?

I think so! For both questions!

 

[LazyLonduf]

Good morning~

I think a big Raid would be cool, but i'd like for the plotlines to connect with each other too somehow. Maybe when we've almost arrived at who are responsible for these incidents, a big thing happens, etc etc.

"The Goddess' domain? That is actually a hard to answer question.

"While The Goddess is not native to Tonia, she is said to rule over one, all and none. No matter where and when, The Goddess watches over all. While she is primarily a goddess for the foxes, she does not discriminate, The Goddess aids all who seek her aid... And at the same time, The Goddess does not enforce her teachings over any, all may learn, none is forced to.

"Her powers are clearly weaker in this world than they were on my native one. But the mere fact I can still sense her presence here is enough proof that The Goddess is anywhere and everywhere.

"... I'm sorry, I may have gone too far, was this too much? Or was it too little actually? Were you perhaps asking about her domain as in her powers as opposed to the place she rules over? In that case I may have given information you weren't interested in? My deepest apologies in this case, it was not my intention.

"The Goddess teaches us to love. She respects all living beings and tells us to treat all live equally and to preserve each creature's right to live on their own. She does not condone battles or the execution of actions that have the intention of harming others, neither physically nor emotionally.

"This translates into what powers we are allowed to learn under her guidance, to heal, to protect, to cleanse... The things we can do in order to save those that are under harm, and assure they can live another day. While the extent of The Goddess' powers go beyond that, those are the powers she teaches us, as those are the ones we need to ensure her faith is propagated in accordance to her teachings.

"And because of that, it's hard to portray what powers fall under her domain. It's said that The Goddess can do anything, so everything should be under her domain, shouldn't it? But her teachings teach us to love, and the powers she grants us are those to spread love, so perhaps you could say that what she truly rules over is love itself.

"... Although The Goddess does not condone the creation of Love Potions or other similar gadgets. Each person has their own will and their own path that will be guided by The Goddess, they should not have their will manipulated by outside factors nor be controlled by those that may or may not mean them harm. The Goddess only wishes for all to seek their own path, and to fight the light in their own way, even if she tries to guide us to the best of her capabilities.

"... Ah, I think I may have gone on for too long? Am I bothering you, mister Solet? I hope I'm not... Ah! I still have not answered the other question though, you have asked what grace she bestows upon us...

"Truthfully speaking, The Goddess bestows no graces. She guides us and looks over our paths while leading us towards her greater plan, but she does not interfere. Once the deities start interfering in the mortal world, chaos may issue, for the mortals cannot withstand the true power that comes from the Divine... Should two beings blessed by the Divine clash then, only destruction would follow.

"The Goddess however, does not stop other deities from acting the way they please. She does not accept their behavior of granting blessings, but she does not confront them about it. Just like we need to grow and find enlightenment, so do many of the other gods, for nobody is perfect, we all can still learn, even The Goddess can. But by being aware of her own limitations, she can grow and guide us through even better paths. For even she, who is said to be able to do anything, can still commit mistakes.

"So The Goddess doesn't grant, she guides. She shows the way to align our will to her own, and as such, manipulate the powers of the world into magic, to help others and spread The Goddess' love.

"Does this knowledge suffice? Or should I go more in-depth into it? Oh no, what am I speaking, I have clearly spoken too much, my deepest apologies, it's just been so long since I could last spread her teachings that I couldn't help making sure they were clearly told... I hope it was enlightening, mister Solet."

746 words? o.0

That's bigger than my smallest report...

Eheheheheheheh, I guess that at least depicted Nene's excitement properly~

That would be fun too! And morning~

I agree with everyone! ^^
I’m sure that if everyone works together, all of you can put something into motion!

@Nahrenne Liana's whole char sheet is screaming to me to ask her out on a date with Vivis.

 

[HURGMCGURG]

Well, I may have made my character go insane with my last quest report. Oh well!

 

[LazyLonduf]

Well, I may have made my character go insane with my last quest report. Oh well!

Was thinking that it might lead to the Demon Cultist plotline

 

[HURGMCGURG]

Maybe. Depends on how I others may do things with it or how I do things. We'll have to see!

 

[Nahrenne]

Lol
Unfortunately, Liana is still under compulsion from her sire, so she won't be attracted to anyone until it breaks due to her getting stronger, or he dies, or he releases her from it.
She's also not into girls.
>w>
<w<

*huggles*

I do think she could eventually become friends with her, though...when she's not hungry/thirsty.

[Feathers95]

She wondered where she could get a backpack to hold her rations. As she went to the market, she found one seller selling backpack.

OOC: @Zoey, want to buy backpack.

Timmy's General Goods is an NPC shop, so you can just roleplay the actions of purchasing stuff without waiting/asking anyone.

 

[GDLiZy]

as the culprit was able to kill a wind mage, assumed to be at least level 15, rank C.

Oh wow... I was about to make some insane near-death experience but maybe if I do I simply won't survive.
