Farryn's 500th post AMA

[Farryn 860]

 

So. Reached over 500 posts on LotC, decided to do an AMA.

Just keep the memes down and be respectful of each other.

I won't answer questions that are clearly memes or rude.

I'm probably going to regret this. XD

Yes. Hi. Wolf here.

1. #ValeriaforBlueSage are you on board with this? There is only one correct answer.

2. Best member of blue sect? Again, only one correct answer.

 

Actual serious question. Does Pyralis regret lying to Valeria?

1. Well it depends if Valeria is suitable for the role. I'm not fully sure what the IC qualifications are for becoming Blue Sage but in my opinion, the Blue Sage must be someone who can bring out the combat potiental of other Blue Sect members. Being a sage isn't really about just being an important figure and holding a vote in regards as to what happens within the Ascended, but more about testing the abilities of those within the sage's sect, as well as teach them vital skills. In this case, the Blue Sage would focus on combat and test the members of the sect, ensure that all sect members are trained in physical and soulfire combat, as well as teach them about how to recognise certain dark beings and dark mages, and how to combat them effectively. Plus, arranging sparring practice and actively assisting the order is a big definite too. So long story short: You need combat experience, the ability to train others in using soulfire and/or a range of physical weapons, understand how armour, weapons, and terrain can affect a battle, can teach fitness and exercise, etc. The same thing applies from an OOC viewpoint: arranging training sessions, actively being in contact with members of your sect, etc.

Overall - depends if Valeria is capable of fufilling the duty of the Blue Sage effectively and using the rank to improve the sect. I also think to be a Blue Sage, you must be connected to Aeriel. That's what I think anyway. If  you prove yourself suitable for such role both OOCly and IC, then I'll be fine with you aiming for it. I actually encourage it.

 

2.  I don't do favourites. I love everyone in the Blue Sect equally. (I lied: I'm best Blue Sect member)

 

3. Elvira (or Pyralis as Valeria knew her by) heavily regrets having to lie to Valeria and just about everyone, still does to this day. She hates being dishonest with her comrades since dishonesty can ruin the friendship between her and her allies, but that doesn't mean Elvira will always be 100% truthful. She will be dishonest if utmost needed for either the sake of her life or for the sake of another. In this case - lying about who she is in order to keep her identity and the Ascended Order safe in case anyone decides to target either of them for such. But do note this: Elvira told you who she was when she was Pyralis, many members of the Ascended Order didn't know Pyralis = Elvira until Elvira decided to reveal herself as such, so Elvira definitely holds trust within Valeria by the fact she actually told Valeria early. Still don't like the fact she had to lie though.

1. I'm honestly not sure. Each cleric that is active and I have interacted with have all unique qualities to them, from their personality, way of roleplaying as their cleric. Every cleric I've roleplayed with have always been different and fun to interact with and I frankly can't choose who is the best because you're all great in my opinion.

 

2. The Clerics will always be the one community on LotC I will treasure. I've had so many great interactions and roleplays with the clerics, as well as fun discussions and talks oocly. Since I've joined, most of the clerics I've met have been friendly and welcoming towards each other and we tend to find a middle grounds at times. Lore wise - the clerics definitely hold a lot of history and the magic is fun to roleplay if you enjoy being a healer, combat-support, or typical crusader. Not to mention the clerics are the most religious deity magic group on LotC and that opens up quite a few potentials for them.  I loved being a cleric, especially when you grow to understand and respect how far the clerics have become and what you can actually do with the magic. Of course, given recent times, I've also got some issues with the Clerics also. Primarily, on how split up the clerics have become - we got the Adherents that are the successor of the past offical Clerical Orders, the Sutican Order ran by Squirt, and the High Elven Clerical Order ran by Lynxy. The clerics have always been the best under one unity, maybe not under one complete order, but perhaps kept in full contact both IC and OOC to clear up any misunderstandings the orders may have, and to also just allow the clerics from the different sects to meet each other and get to talk. I also dislike the fact that the clerics are now butting heads with each other due to how the clerics percieve Tahariae and the Mission. On one side, there's the old clerics from Athera, Anthos, Asulon, etc who follow the old traditions that are strict and very reducing... then there's the more new generation of clerics that want to have less restrictions and to be able to be more creative with their character's beliefs and how they act. It's going as far as to one cleric being targeted by the traditional clerics for disconnection simply because their character isn't meet their exceptions of a cleric, but has done nothing to break the rules. So really - Old clerics:  Stop being stubborn mostly oocly about the new clerics and learn to accept that the clerical lore and the clerical community is beginning to change, everything changes eventually and there's no point sitting in the past - the newer clerics want to roleplay something fresh and more up to date and there's nothing wrong with that at all. New clerics: Remember that the roots of the clerics should never be forgotten and remember to keep hold of some clerical traditions so the clerics still hold what makes them special on LotC. I know some of the Old clerics may seem a bit strict or hard to get along, but you can certainly learn a thing or two from them. Nothing wrong with reflecting back on the past. However, I'm hoping you will keep the clerics running smoothly while I'm no longer fully working with the community. (Apologies for the long text but this was something I wanted to say for a very long time).

 

3. Vanilla and Mint Ice Cream - specifically with strawberries and cream.

1. I'm fine with the Halflings, had a good experience with them a few times, especially when one Halfling became a cleric. #RememberPetyr. However, I feel as though the Halflings could be improved in more areas lore-wise and how they appear as to the playerbase, make them more engaging for players to play as instead of just containing laid back, very peaceful, and retirement-esque roleplay. I know that's what the Halflings are all about but I feel as though they need a spark to them. Something to seperate them out from Lord of the Ring's Hobbits and make them unique in their own way, such as having more traits that make them different from their LotR counterparts and also help expand on the Halflings as a race. That way, the Halflings could gain more players (both old and new) and be more active as a race.

 

2. Sadly no, my favourite block in Minecraft is Redstone block.
