Mage's Guild

[KarmaDelta 969]

Maximus reporting for duty.

((Recruited by Ambros))

((and some people in this thread need to learn to PM. read the whole 15 pages but a lot of them were spamville.))

If you're just getting to the thread let me save you like an hour of reading.

Things i learned over the last 15 pages:

The Mages guild was, then it wasnt, now it is.

They werent recruiting, then started training, then started actually recruiting.

No application, members are hand picked.

Magic is RP'd with great care to avoid metagaming and powergaming.

There will be some interesting tests as part of the initiation.

Evil doers may be allowed to join (which I dont like because it seems like it will lead to abuse)

[[Called the wiki brah. No need to post this. Just post a link to the wiki and people will think you are smart ;). Also with evil doers, we dont know if they are or not. So we dont want to powergame and be like "We sence you have done some bad things in your past...... be a shame if you join... ]]

Its not about good or evil. If you truly understood what it means to be in the mage's guild you would be equally displeased by a mage who was working in confuction with the ascended. Good or Evil is somewhat irrelevant.

I did say "somewhat" though

((Whoa ...how old are you?

"no need to post this?" Couldnt that be said about your last 20 posts that I had to sift through on the way to the last page? spammer....

and the things i posted are not all in the wiki, it was a recap of this thread. partly to prove i read the whole thing, partly for those who dont want (have time) to read the whole thing.

On villains:

I was just expressing my opinion about villains. Every one I've ever RP'd with powergamed against me. letting them use magic seems like a bad idea.

And its not META (you said power gaming, same difference to some people I guess.) to do background checks on your guild members to make sure bad apples don't get in.

There has been talk of using the Mage's Guild as a governing body for magic users in aegis so it would make sense that they vet recruits to avoid baddys getting in. Evil characters certainly violate the "neutral" nature of the guild.

Though if a guild memeber became corrupted organically... that might make more sense, and be more fair, than the "OMG I want to be evil mage" people.))

[[ Woah no need to throw spammer in there >_> I am not a spammer. And i was joking around. Jeez no need to be all mean with a reply. Also with the villain thing think about the balance. Most people are good in the mages guild, is that not disrupting the balance? If you have more baddys and even it out it would bring balance. Makes sence no? So no need to be rude and ask my age and stuff. Again i was joking around and i know how long it would take to sift through these pages. So sorry. and call me a spammer again and i be mad ]]

((nothing personal, brah

I'm post number 285 in this thread. I feel entitled to my one opinion I expressed. The rest was an attempted summary of what the other 284 posts said.))

Anyway, to address Ambros and Rilath: I'm working on my bio ((in notepad since server is down)) but I'd like to get started on my initiation ASAP. Let me know what I can do.

[K33MST4R 219]

Just to let people know that I will be on from 5:30 on, during the week as I have wrestling practice after school, and I'll be on for the majority of the weekend. Contact me IG ((CreeperSlayer999)) and we will discuss things, where I will judge you RP wise. Then and ONLY then will I consider you for training, sound all right Ambros, or am I missing something?

[Sagwort 833]

Yes that sounds right, but for apprenticeship, not training

Moved to the Great Library. It shall be sorted into appropriate category shortly.
