  1. No your not understanding.

    'players with 100 swords' that's all OOC. RP'ly everybody will have the same weapons and Armour so everybody will have generally the same effect on each other.

    As I said in an previous comment a have already suggest that idea :roll:

    The idea of the maps and riddles that the bodyguards all come from the same clan and being my body guards for the shipment is seemed a privilege. As high number of bodyguards want to come & we can't bring to many because RP'ly we want to avoid bandits. The Bodyguards have to do this clue & riddle to separate those worthy & who that aren't to come.

    But also bandits will be given the chance just like bodyguards to solve it to.

  2. I have got to make to fair and enjoyable for both sides.

    It may seem unfair to you personally but if you can think a way of making using a bow fair for both sides. I have 100 archery so I guess if there is an equal amount of archers on each side then that would be fair?

    I'm on my phone so sorry for bad spelling/ grammer

  3. The lore is my character. Each week he will gets shipment of supplies. If he gets them or not depends on this weekly event.

    The reason I said no bows is the bodyguard are defending me. If your shooting an bow we would have to just stand there and take it as the whole idea is to defend me and the shipment.

    Also: In the link it says that my character isn't RP'ly here yet. So the lore is yet to be posted completely but I gave an general sum of it on the post.

  4. Great question! Something I missed out.

    Yes. As after all the people have submitted there answers I will then release the answer to avoid people cheating. I will then split the group randomly in half into bandits & bodyguards. If you then wish to switch you can just let me know.

    But each side is equal anyway so it doesn't matter hugely.

  5. THE SHIPMENT RUN

    What is 'THE SHIPMENT RUN'

    If you haven't heard of Whurgal Overg Click Here.

    It is an RP event which will take place each week. On the map will be an X (or something) which you will find an block with will help you solve the riddle to the next spot. If you do them all correctly the last object you come to you will PM me the answer. If correct I will give you the map with an shipment line (ALL RP).

    So basically letting us all rob you?

    Yes. But making it more RP and enjoyable for the whole community *accept for my money pouch;)*.

    Does this mean I need a villain application?

    Due to the nature of the event no. This isn't verified but everybody who is taking part is going to have read the rules below so I should see no reason why.

    All against you?

    No. In an ideal situation we split into two. Bodyguards and bandits; just the name of each side for simplicity.

    What are we guarding

    Apart from me each body guard will have ingots all spread out between us some weeks maybe smaller some weeks may be HUGE amounts.

    Well when do we attack?

    The bodyguard team. We will walk down the route until I stop this is the signal for the bandits to attack. When this happens you will not know so be on the ready. Maybe we will split into 2 therefor you will have to make strategic decisions on what to do; this is the same with bodyguards. Only when do they stop that the bandits can attack.

    What are we going to wear?

    This has had some debate on if i'm going to supply everybody or you supply yourself. The decision is this;

    Everybody comes in iron Armour & Iron sword. Normal food. No potions. No arrows. This is supposed to be fun for all; if you want to take this pee and abuse what I am doing then I will ban you from taking part & that would also be pretty shameful on you that you can't follow basic rules.

    This is supposed to be fun for both sides!

    I will supply iron Armour & weapons but again... if you all come as say *I don't have this or that*. Simply I won't do it again.

    The teams

    Bandits & Bodyguard. Both wear the same to have an equal advantage. All people who take part will have an OOC minas reward from myself. We need a team captain each week for both sides! Also we need ways of separating the body guards from the bandits; IDEAS NEEDED

    So we can just kill?

    Yes. The day before I will post the route for all to see so they know where to avoid if not taking part. All the people who got the the puzzle correct will be on my inbox list. Don't turn up if your not meant to be there; would like it if people recorded the event. Once combat is started... it is to the death. Anybody on the defending team running away with the ingots will also leave you banned from doing it again. Drop the ingots as that is what you would do in RP.

    RULES!

    • Iron Armour & sword ONLY! Anything better will earn you an ban for coming again.
    • Don't cry because you died. The only way you know the trade route is by coming on here so you will know.
    • Running into non-pvp zones to escape death ect all apply as against the rules
    • RP'ly I will always run and let my body guards hole you back but in-fact I will be fighting to the death.
    • HAVE FUN!
    • You are aloud to use bow & arrows

    Why am I doing this?

    Fun. How fun will these be; two teams charging at each other in an RP way. Just like out the films. I am just stepping forward and making it happen. It is what you make it guys.

    IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR IF THERE ARE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS IDEA OR SUGGESTION PLEASE PM ME WITH THEM.

    Thank you.

  6. Just to give a heads up where we are at;

    [*]Skin Is now made and ready to go.

    [*]Have an acceptable amount of minas.

    What's left?

    [*]The weekly shipment run all information will be posted tomorrow in which I will explain how it will be done. Hopefully we can get an post in the server accouncements for the first week to promote.Also need to talk with an GM to sort out the clues around the map (have an amazing idea)

    [*] Need some more RP scrolls making.

    Edit: I'm actually going to post it now at 2:45 am. Can't sleep, have to be up at 6am$.

  7. This is a post about my new character Whurgal Overg.

    What about Fomsil?

    My time as Fomsil has been amazing from being an Kal'Urguan guard who partially caused one of/the biggest wars ever. If there any are Ork's and Dwarfs reading this from Aegis then you will definitely remember how awesome them constant attacks on each other were. Fomsil then went on to build all by himself an official Dwarfen town then to being an crazy.

    His death is yet to be decided.

    Well who is Whurgal Overg?

    Whurgal Overg comes from another land *inserts name* from an extremely wealthy family. His parents ran and small stall to becoming the biggest business empire reaching all over the land. With Whurgal Overg feeling there isn't anything for him to do there and wants to repeat his parents success on a different land. With Asulon advancing in technology (spells, boats ect) Whurgal Overg has decided to set sail to Asulon to continue his parents paths.

    How will I introduce such an important character?

    I had many ideas but I have come to one.

    'The Auslon News'

    I will make a newspaper graphic which on the front page shows an huge boat sailing towards Asulon and then another newspaper with it docking. The final paper will show me off the boat for them being able to identify me and then you will all know that this very rich and successful character is now in Asulon.

    What RP will these create?

    In picking my new character I took 2 main points;

    • Role-Play for myself
    • Role-play for everybody else

    Then I thought to myself. What about bandits? This is what gave me this idea of this character.

    The Role-play that this character could create is below;

    • The need to hire body guards to escort him around Asulon
    • The need to hire people to help gather these resources to aid his bussiness
    • The building of shops ect
    • Bandits will see my character as this big rich Dwarf that they would love to target and get minas off.

    Anything else?

    Yes. I haven't exactly worked out how this will work out yet but the idea is good.

    Weekly I will have an 'goods' shipment. The path is different each week. I will Rp'ly post clues everyday on the forums (each week will vary in lengths). If you put the clues together and give me the answer (could be a word, name, location on the map) I will RP'ly give you an map with an drawn line for the shipment path. This will make really good RP for bandits.

    Well when can we expect him?

    These need to be done first;

    • Skin for my character
    • Obtain an substantial amount of Minas
    • Have an plot with an rather luxurious house and small farm built.
    • All graphics I will spread out though myself and my team.

  8. This is a post about the Role-playing questions in the Application.

    Why am I making this post?

    To me personally I believe that this is the most crucial part of an application. You either type out an small one or two line scenario or you make an powerful power graph that goes into detail. In picking to spend more time on each question shows your willingness and determination to get into the server but more importantly your Role-playing skills.

    Where should I start?

    When I help people I generally ask them to write there idea with no description just get the basic idea down first. Thinking of what to write & thinking of good vocabulary to use can slow down your writing often making you loose concentration of your idea more onto how you say it. Get the basic idea down first.

    Here is my example;

    Whilst traveling from the Cloud Temple you see a small halfling, being harassed by two armed warriors. They appear to be trying to steal money from him, how does your character respond?

    Fomsil stands behind a tree and listens for information such as names or places. Once they have gone he goes to the Halfing and tells him what he has found out. He takes the Halfling's name and says he will return the Minas if caught.

    Question is now answered. I have my basic line of what is going to happen and could easily post it. Although that would mean I have spent less than a 30 seconds on it which require little if any effort.

    What should I do with it?

    Pick where you can change or add in information; copy and paste it again and highlight the parts which you can spend time on.

    Fomsil stands behind a tree and listens for information such as names or places. Once they have gone he goes to the Halfing and tells him what he has found out. He takes the Halfling's name and says he will return the Minas if caught.

    I have selected the parts now what?

    Fomsil stands behind a tree

    Look for the parts that can be improve and can't be improved such as 'tree' can be and 'Fomsil' can't be. Pick out the key words 'stand' 'tree' these are your main expanding points;

    Stand:

    • The way Fomsil moved the the tree fast, slow or sneakily.
    • Was there any stick or branches that he had to step over to avoid snapping which could have caused attention to him.
    • Was he just standing behind the tree or was he occasionally peaking behind the tree?

    Tree:

    • Did he have to stand side ways because the tree wasn't thick enough to hide him (fat dwarfs;))
    • Was the tree smooth silky white bark or rough jagged bark.
    • Did he have to lean into the shade of the leaves?
    • Was there any spikey plants that he had to avoid putting his hands on or even an spider up near the top of the tree?

    These are the things you can think of and there are tons more that just show how imaginative you are.

    Now to improve it?

    Yes. If you have made a check list or mentally remembers some points work your way though them. You may even think of some knew ones. In doing this it allows the writer to show his imaginative skills and effort to get in; before I came to this server writing or reading was something I never enjoyed. Now I have helped well over 50+ people with applications from server applications to villain Applications.

    My improved;

    Fomsil quickly eyes out an tree a few steps away and slowly takes large steps closer trying to avoid the sticks and twigs that flood the floor. Various small holes in the floor test his balance skills as he moves closer. Fomsil slams his back against the ragged bark and breaths an heavy sigh of relief that he made it. He nervously turn round and hugs the tree with his stomach trying to avoid the sharp nature plants that cover the ragged bark. Taking occasional peaks around the tree in hope to catch a glip of one of the bandits face he see's a scar on the left bandits eyebrow that he knows he can later identify him by.

    After the bandits search the Halflings torn pockets taking any minas or small items in there they laugh forcefully and points to an hill and dares the Halfling to go there. Thinking that that is the place they will return to Fomsil rummages through his back to find an paper attacked to an feather & ink sac and begins to sketch out the mountain. The bushes behind them begin to rustle so the bandits rapidly make off into the distance fleeing in fear of guards. Fomsil comes out from behind the tree, instantly the Halfling turns round shaking and scared by what just happened. Fomsil smiles and moves closer not to quickly to scare the Halfling.

    At a distance Fomsil asks him is he okay and he nods slightly. With his acceptance of a nod Fomsil approaches the Halfling and shared the information that he has gathered from what they said. The Halfling began to cheer up and felt grateful that Fomsil risked his life to make sure these bandits get caught.

    After talking for a few minutes Fomsil kindely asked him for his name and reassuringly told him he would do everything he can to get these bandits caught and his minas return.

    Shaking hands and nodding farewell the pair both walk there separate ways hoping to meet again in better circumstances.

    Conclusion

    I used the exact same paragraph and expanded with detail each part turning from an simple, boring and effortless answer into an proper Role-play situation.

    I hope this inspires some new players to try to take more time and effort into there Role-play answers.
