i think we will find many other ways too, once our characters get head on with ideas. for example: something which our students and us do for outsiders to profit those included and the academy. like those books you mentioned. when students are long enough in their expertices, we could profit well from it.

rp magic ie: *valikor casts a charm spell on subject one* its something.. very closely related to powergaming.

yep, of course. but i still, and never was, suggesting to replace anything. merely something bit of extra to enhance the communications between the classes. like, team projects between classes which purpose might not only be to teach essentials, but to entertain. as like, time off studies. (like on this idea, it would be only side object to let them use their abilities in practice, but more about entertainment.) on this map, while not realizing in practice, we could still create theories. then, we wouldnt have to create it out of sudden as we would have many good ideas of different possibilities. and merely creating all sort of theories how thay could use their learned abilities in practice at non-study purposes, would be excellent way to see what our students really are capable of _outside_ of the academy with what thay have learned. (and i will never want to see an arena cleared out of nature into plain fields. being able to do this without destroying nature too much is only a must.)

well, its not like its supposed to be anything significant enough to take over the studies <.< just something which all students and teachers can participate at some specific occasions if thay wish to. i just think we need optional bonus things too to enhance communication between different classes. (edit: and never forget, that these sort of things could be made so, that thay help to learn things necessary at those classes. teamwork, engineering, defencive design, geography, navigation.. do i need to continue?)

its sports, not combat. there is distinct difference between those two. as the goal would not be centered in combat here, but rather your teams ability to build and outwit the enemy team in that type of sports.

we could develope our academy it's own sports. lets say, for example, we build a fenced off area in the wilderness, which is built for team combat. then some specific rules, as to how people are ruled off the game. ranger matches would work by first or two hits rules you out for example. then, you wear weapon off and leather armours to point out your not in game any more, and exit immediately. before that shouting "out" to clarify others. maybe even have possibility of coming back to the match by going to the spawn area? we could even build walk ways above this sort of sports combat for people to observe by. the goal could be many different, for example, capture/defend the outpost, extermination, destruction, and so on. before the match, teams would wit each other by building their areas to best of their abilities. or, by using pre-built settings. this would also be beneficial for those studying how to build these sort of things, as for all students participating it or watching it. -Valikor

i highly doubt he would ever even hear of it. im not planning to attach titles to names. it just looks bad to have titles in names. becomes far too long you see.

((hahah, lol's. problems of yours are small if school is what you escape from. i highly doubt this would be anything like the real life equivalent. for example, irl, we study it for real life application. here? we don't do it for any real gain, just for fun. that means, it would be constructed for entertainment, unlike the real life equivalent which has only one purpose.))

i could perhaps teach engineering, if this academy ever gets realized that is. also, i think there should be an advanced wild survival class. which, could be merged to work in cooperation with other classes. so it would not only teach what those skills are in practice, but how to use them for your survival. this sort of survival class would simply work by merging multiple classes together, after thay have learned enough of their corresponding skills to execute them in practice. -Valikor

uhm.. then i would have to change every title from latin to some other language.

its architectural thing. you know, like stone masons know how to craft stone, well.. aqua mason would know how to handle water. and magic, there always is that in aegis which only helps the cause. purpose is simply to have fun by building and designing. as well, to get as widespread range of land area covered by the guild as possible. all the means to handle water already exist in the current mechanics. just learning how to use them in your designing is what makes the difference.

((basically, all titles are in latin. also we use latin version to greet fellow liquidus)) ave = hello/hi we use astatine, magical element to reach our goals. this element is the source of our magical engineering. when you reach certain ranks, you will go through the ceremony of astatine ingestion. in which, you will ingest astatine to have its ability effects be forever bound to you, if you succeed to survive it that is. examples of use by astatine magic: aqua repel barrier. (basically, stops aqua from moving at certain magnitude, allowing aqua repellants to work in any form we wish. most common use, aqua door, aqua tunnels.) source of astatine is our most well kept secret, and will never leak to wrong ears. generally, the properties of astatine in our bodies allow us to master the manipulation of aqua, which we have been named after. current headquarters are located at the white valley. for location, contact me by a letter or by telepathic link once you are accepted. white valley's location is currently disclosed to the public. ranks are in descending order as: Dominus, master of the house. (me) Magisterium, master speaker. (whose tasks include organizing of different branches inter connectivity and politics.) Praetor, head of an individual branch in the guild. Orator, a Speaker. (one who has the privilege of speaking in behalf of all demiurgus and opifex. as well, superior to them. minor politician.) Demiurgus, an artisan. (plans building projects.) Opifex, a builder. (might also be someone who specializes in something entirely different, but can also build.) guild name translates as "house of liquidics", which comes from the mastery of understanding liquid elements which members of this guild poses. in other words, members of this guild are referred as of liquidus. that means, if i were to introduce myself, i would do it as follows: i be Valikor, dominus of liquidus. this guild has no affiliations to neither undead nor ascended. and i wish to keep it that way for the time being, as i have no care for their causes. guild ambitions: to have this guild widely available by having a guild branch in each of the major cities. and some branches in undisclosed locations. to build grand architectural designs for clients and ourselves which would not be possible otherwise. Applying: simply state your motivations and ambitions.

the real robin hood more likely stole from rich and gave to himself. (or in fact, the real robin hoods legend is not written, it was only spoken as people couldnt write at those times.. so who knows how he got famous!) the fictional robin hood is an old story told at thirteenth century after the famous thief. (something like that) so its more of like, steal from the rich, to earn more. at 3: its ooc, thay cant use it ic. would be meta. so its just to get the owner there, so it wont be like griefing. (dont you think, its a bit boring to rp without at least the victim being online? you see, then its just mere griefing.. and lacks the possibility of being caught rp.) it could be like this: from a to person b: ooc hey come rp at place x! (so thay wouldnt know what its about, but would be there.) at 4. hahah, i completely agree. something fancy would be horrible. but something simple yet unique would be nice. like "stolen hoods" for example. while, also giving people an idea what its about. at your agenda: yeh, it sounds good, a brotherhood of thieves. but, that still, doesn't answer why you despise evil. perhaps the leader character has a past of being mistreated by immoral/unfair actions? just, create something. otherwise, you'll quickly sink to be one another villain group. which on other hands, would be boring as your characters wouldnt have to think their actions.

im going to be blunt honest. this seems a good start plan for a guild, to be about thieving in groups. thats exactly what thieving guilds should be like. but, i dont think its enough. just thieving? i think you need some form of agenda why you are doing it. for example, what makes your members close to each other, apart from the guild. (without agenda, its just a _job_. = loayal to money, aka mercenaries.) you could do it rob in hood style. (aka: "thou are rich!! why thy not distribute thine wealth?") aka, being of "peasant nobility". one of the earliest forms of communism in england. that is old english.(which should be made the humans #1 language.. currently thay sound like thay were from 21st century =O... wait, thay are! aka, why i have distaste to their race. i guess, i should make this as a lore suggestion, so we could enjoy rping with them <.< ...) so that way, its this agenda of yours which guides you in this path. not mere lack of morals.(aka villains -.-) + emphasize the modesty! i think, you need some form of honourific code of dignity which you all follow. to keep yourselves distinct from villains. if you are civilized enough, i might very well be interested. stealing, is not something which im really interested as ooc. but, my character loves planning. apart from the above, i continue on criticizing your guild: when robbing high value properties, it might be good idea to confront the victims ooc'ly that you have a wish to steal from their property. then, thay can set up a scene by placing an unprotected chest somewhere, which is your target, while ic thay would form some sort of activity their character is doing, to be present at the moment. or if not property, then, just form whatever plan you wish. im not suggesting to make it zorro style, no way. zorro style would _never_ work. just rob in hood style. meaning, you have some form of agenda why you are doing this, to maintain your dignity. also obviously, copying rob in hood agenda too would be unoriginal. (well, you could of course take and modify it.) just create some unique agenda why you think stealing from classes/ethnic groups a, b and c is fine. and _why_ you steal in the first place. and, you really, rheally need a better name. (that would be far too unoriginal and bluntly boring.) im excellent at creating names btw, so even if my character wouldnt join, i could assist you by giving suggestions in that. (ive always loved to create unique names for all sort of things xD..)

notice, this is just the pre format. this is an order whose goal is to become a "Pride" as we Kharajyr's call them. under the upcoming race known as Kharajyr. our race is still awaiting to be "found", in the meantime, im designing the future. if you dont know the race yet, take a look at the official page: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=3867 ________________ Table of contents: 1.1 Introduction 1.2 Classes 1.3 A bit of me 1.4 Politics 1.5 Application 1.6 Let me start, my application: _________________ 1.1 Introduction all ____ four of those _ symbols means "insert character name here". this "Pride" thing is still under lore developement, as the kharajyr's lore developes, this will be changed to fit it better. but in all cases, it will be an "order". democratic one. this has not been decided as a final official structure on the lore yet, and keep in mind, these building structures apply only on this "pride/guild/order", as every pride has a bit different culture, depending on the ruler: prides are a bit like "sub-nations", thay are the particles which Kharajyr's nation is built of. firstly, this order has a very democratic political system, which i will cover at later parts of this post. and probably the only interracial "pride" there is. The ultimate goal of this order is secrecy, and connections, everywhere else than in our own homeland. but, we create alot of secret things everywhere we are, even in our home nation. as for it being our number one defence. our ambitions at engineering and organizing are as follows: functionalizing everything we build in very pragmatic and minimalistic way, while promoting our culture in the design of these engineering feats. which are mostly built to function. and to build an academy in our homeland, where we teach arts of acrobatics, arts of stealth, combat and engineering. also could create a number of courses, limited only by our expertise. these designs we create. we would mostly use to alter the foreigners lands in any ways we deem necessary. and at times of war, full support to our home nation. 1.2 Classes primarily, would be runned by different classes chiefs. the classes are as following: agents, tasks as following = special operations, sec.ops combat(assasinations, undercover tasks), and spies. but in all cases, combat abilities are handy for agents. agents can have any weapons, or even weaponless, in case your an observor (aka. spy). agents are the leaders of non-combative squad operations(political influence, sabotage, crime inspection), and undercover squad special operations. engineers, (aka. Ji'____-Yaht) the grand designers of our secret web connections and all of our buildings. also, knights, whose tasks are to be the leaders of battles, and squads designated at combat are also led by knights. knights status is Sar'____, direct translation from "Sir". knights are required to be in heaviest armour + a sword when on combative duty. stealthy archers will habit the role of agent, while combat archers become scouts. scouts dont have a weapon playstyle requirement,(although require some weapon expertise.) thay consist of all combat styles. thay are our soldier class. + the civilian roles: Jo'____ , the merchants. and Ji'____, the producers. S'____ , nonspecific role. 1.3 A bit of me i was thinking of naming this pride as The (Some word here.) Order. name has not been made final, although, i have one idea. "The Black Order", name a subject which could change. why black, would come after me, as i am both of black sub race, and a black knight. (Kha'pantera) notice, i made the face a bit lighter after that screenshot. i used a program not designated for minecraft skins to make the robes, so it messed it up. the lighter face is this: (ignore my silly 'concept' robes) also has a tail:(ignore silly robes again xD..) and this is the new result, though, after that pic edited paws to look more realistic: as this is primarily out of homeland pride, so we focus on other than homeland mostly. means, we fight more against foreigners than our own. if any one wishes to come as an early member, to plan the future with me, you are welcome. 1.4 Politics the political structure, starting by explanation of the smallest bits: there will be, the few classes, until we get our own kharajyric terms for them, thay are just: the ones described in classes section. engineer, Ji'____-Yaht Knight, Sar'____ Agent chief status will be ____-Yaht'e at the end of your name. like engineer chief would be, if i were it: Ji'Vilku-Yaht'e. but i am a knight, so i am Sar'Vilku, the black knight. alternatively, this chief status could be shown by our symbol: e = empty, whatever the colour of your clothing is. p = pixel of chosen colour on the cloth. e e p p e e e p p e e p p p p p each of the classes have their "head/chief" *classname* (there is no kharajyric translations yet for all these words, which are highlighted with "", or citated if thay feel a bit unfit or so.) the chiefs task is to lead their specific class, and the chiefs form a democratic council, in which decisions are decided in mutual agreement.(or by vote, if no agreement could be made.) if big decision enough, any chief can request public vote to be cast upon it, in which, everyone of the pride can then vote. but before this, each side of the debate will briefly explain, why thay chose this side. its very important to have chief of each classes as the main council structure, because different opinions is the right way to have insight to every aspect on the things, to be most effective. to become a chief of your class, you must win a public election amongst those of your class. people of your classes vote will always count as two when all the rests will count as one. every class has those elections, when enough candidates, and an open council spot of the respective class leader status. also "prime minister", role as strategist and governor, would be an equal vote amongst all council members, when enough members on the pride for the need of such high political status. whose job is, to make sure that our democratic politics run smoothly. and he/she would be the representative of our head council to others. as well, the mastermind of politics. while, all decisions are still made in the council on equal standings. "council" is formed by each of the "chiefs" + "prime minister" chiefs are as following: alternatively, if outlander is the chief, can choose to wear chief yourclass ____ instead of kharajyric terms, as their status. Agent ____-Yaht'e Ji'____-Yaht'e Sar'____-yaht'e Scout ____-Yaht'e Jo'____-Yaht'e Ji'____-Yaht'e S'____-Yaht'e i will not have a full time part in the council, but, however.. i would participate in the situations, when there is a debate, no mutual agreement could be found. i could decide, if i can judge the better option, or to call it off. as well, if its a matter that would affect many in drastic ways, then, public vote would take place. my role is not obtainable by anyone else. primarily, my role is to be the mastermind behind the scenes. the council is fully functional in my absence. but basically, i am all powered and may use my power however i wish. though, this is my order, and i want only best for those being part of my order. at voting, you have three options: yes: debate side A. yes debate side B. and call it off. if there is many voters, then we will engineer a voting system to make it functional. the public votes are completely voluntary. however, before them, we will inform everyone of the coming public vote where each side of councils debate will introduce their sides briefly. if your not of Kharajyr race, you will have hard time gaining status in our homeland. but outside, as we are anyways very out aimed, you can. just, will be much harder than for kharajyr's. only well ranked foreigners are allowed to move into homeland sections. and most likely will be required to take courses at our academy. as well, our academy is strictly for those of our order, and to outsider kharajyrs, it will be costy. kharajyr despise the "good/evil" moral compass. we all have our own. but, the prides are the most important thing for all of us kharajyr's, its our family. also i must add, to the end: that, the designing of every class system, its operating functions and every thing inside the class, is up to the chief of respective class. for example(ok, bad example <.< ... because it was designed under half a minute? xD..) the engineer could be categorized into positions:, skill in ascending order: apprentice < builder < master builder < engineer < architect < ____-Yaht but yeah, thats a scratch. each of the chiefs will design it into their tastes, and might change when different chiefs will be ruling. so vote well! thay have 1000‰ power in their category. but do not worry, any of the council members can ask another chief to step down of his position, and a voting will be held. where only those of that category can vote to either keep him or disband from position. so being unnecessarily mean to your subjects will destroy your reputation. and by so, your chances of being elected as the chief of your class. 1.5 Application as mentioned, we dont have "good/evil" moral compass, we follow our own philosophies. so you wont have to worry of the so called "good/evil" compass. but, its encouraged to not harm anyone of our own pride. murder of our own pride members is strictly prohibited. and you must follow the laws of kharajyr nation as well as the prides upcoming rules, whatever will be decided in the council. the classes have initially, absolutely no requirements at all. it will be up to the first chiefs to create the syste how the class operates. (note, you can make it either brief, or long. do it your way, but answer all of the questions in IC. im not here to read novels though, so word limit: two thousand xD.. i myself have tendency to write messages of 5000 words length, making them look like an essay or novel etc xD..) (leave the additional infos from your end product.) and try to make it clear, use enter where necessary.. use dark blue colour on the application. The application format: _______________________________________________________________ (if you choose to become kharajyr, then make the application in your kharajyr character format. this pride will anyways start only when kharajyr is implemented. though, apparently we have started organizing it already it seems.) in game name: (aim for whole application to be written IC. (yes, keep it IC, OOC only if there really is no other ways.. may give bad rp'er image of you) and use those IC/OOC signs.) _______________ Race: ________________ Personality: _________________ Philosophy: __________________ In combat role: (if you dont have combat, then your combat tactic is basically.. RUN!!! xD...) ___________________ out combat role: ____________________ (Anything else you deem relevant or interesting about your character:) _____________________ Choice of class: ______________________ Playstyle for the chosen class: _______________________ Ambition in the order: ________________________ END of application. _______________________________________________________________
