2006-01-09 [Lothuriel]: *puts on her eager face*

2006-01-12 [NamelessMerc]: *Slight upturn of the mouth, stereotypically hiding inner glee* So, where do I submit my character?

2006-01-12 [windowframe]: Follow the link to Champion's Tournament, there are instructions there :)

2006-01-12 [DragonSorcerer]: i'm in 4 it i need more info

2006-01-12 [NamelessMerc]: Then follow the Champion's Tournament link, like I foolishly had to be told to do.

2006-01-12 [Kai Crewger]: making up a bio now. whee! this is gonna be fun!

2006-01-12 [NamelessMerc]: Darn skippy it will. It's a good thing I already had Tethis written up, I scrambled that fast for the sign-up.

2006-01-12 [Kai Crewger]: ^^ fun. I have a bio, but it's a condensed RP format. I've been thinking about making up a more permanent and elaborate bio for some of my chars anyway

2006-01-12 [NamelessMerc]: Good plan... Hm, reckon I'm allowed to add my priest character to the list later on? He's new, so I don't have a page for him yet.

2006-01-12 [TheTearofSiren]: What kind of rp is it? Fighting or what?

2006-01-12 [Kai Crewger]: I would think so. it's an RPing tournament.

2006-01-12 [iippo]: Open form roleplaying, as described in roleplaying for dummies. That includes but is not limited to fighting.

2006-01-12 [Kai Crewger]: hmm... so, we could do a rock-paper-scissors thing?

2006-01-12 [iippo]: Open form doesn't really rely on chance (dice or r-p-s.) I suppose the players can agree together who will "win" a fight in the comments or privately, but generally it is about improvising. Extensive explanation in Chapter 2. How does free form RP work?. Seriously, have a read at the wiki roleplaying for dummies.

2006-01-12 [Kai Crewger]: yeah, I looked

2006-01-12 [Duredhel]: Well 90% of all RPs here in ET are freeform, there's only a few rule based, so if you've RPed in ET before, chances are it was a free form

2006-01-12 [Kai Crewger]: yeah. it'd be kinda hard to do a dice-based RP, what with the cheating and falsifying issues...

2006-01-12 [Veltzeh]: Can't fool ET's wiki d20! Of course you can reedit, so the GM would have to keep track of page versions.

2006-01-12 [Kai Crewger]: there's a wiki for that?

2006-01-12 [Duredhel]: Actually its really easy to do a rule based in ET, obviously you haven't been around Lemire or Fantasma.

2006-01-12 [Veltzeh]: On every wikipage, there's a d20... see on the bottom of the right-hand menu, there's a wiki info box. Just above the Previous version button there's a D20 info. ;)

2006-01-12 [Kai Crewger]: oooooh, I wondered what that was for. and nah, I haven't really gotten into Lemire. so much reading @.@

2006-01-12 [Duredhel]: Heheheh that's exactly the advantage of Rule based, instant player filter.

2006-01-12 [Kai Crewger]: *shrugs* I tried to do a Vampire: the Masquerade thing with a buch of friends. didn't work out too well for me. I like free-form better

2006-01-12 [Duredhel]: Its a lot simpler and easier ^_^, rule-based RPs take a lot more planning and organizational skills

2006-01-12 [Kai Crewger]: I agree.

2006-01-12 [Zephire]: this sounds fun

2006-01-12 [iippo]: And free form reveals bad players easily... }:D But maybe there will be rule-based tournament later.

2006-01-12 [Duredhel]: Hahah ^^ that would be nice, we could borrow the RoL system (got several trainee GMs), in any case I've also come across a few very good freeforms (ans they're really good for speed RPing). Question, iippo, will there be any sort of GM, regulator for the rounds? in case players simply can't decide who is winning or it turns into a tug o' war

2006-01-12 [NamelessMerc]: That'd be fun. A rule-based tourney. assuming my character didn't get shot through the head with a crossbow, eh Dur? >.<;

2006-01-12 [Kai Crewger]: agreed again. but I have a hard time in rule-based, so all my rps are free-form...

2006-01-12 [Duredhel]: uhm >_> well that's what you get for charging head first into a whole regiment of enemies, hehehe poor guy didn't last a single round.

2006-01-12 [NamelessMerc]: It was kind of the plan, but I hoped he'd last just one... Oh well, I have more attackers lined up, and I can revive him. I just didn't see another way around it, there was no cover and I couldn't get at the archers before they got to him.

2006-01-12 [iippo]: Myself and SilverFire (as the moderators) will do the GMing.

2006-01-12 [boy of the year]: i want to do it

2006-01-12 [iippo]: Enter the tournament? Then submit a character.

2006-01-12 [Nikos Kitten]: how do you enter the tournament ?? and submit a character

2006-01-12 [iippo]: Read champion's tournament and its subwikis.

2006-01-12 [Lordterrex]: wow.... this is amazing ...where does one sign up?

2006-01-12 [iippo]: Follow the white, erm, green links.

2006-01-12 [NamelessMerc]: XD Or that yellow brick road snaking off into the distance?

2006-01-12 [Leonedus]: I suppose I'll get involved.

2006-01-12 [Akayume]: cool........

2006-01-12 [fun_size mini_pack]: so where does this toutnament start?

2006-01-12 [grey wanderer]: I'm wondering that too...for now it seems to be sighning up your charachter.

2006-01-12 [iippo]: First round is character submission (will last til february 12). This is so we the judges won't have to deal with any Mary Sue or other 'bad' character playing. We're trying to find the best roleplayer -- character creation is an important part of being a good player. If you can't think up a person who isn't a cliche or impossible, it will be very difficult to play well.

2006-01-12 [grey wanderer]: There, that was much better than my fumbling. Thanks.

2006-01-12 [Akayume]: wait, where do we get the form to fill out for our characters?

2006-01-12 [Kai Crewger]: click on the link on this page.

2006-01-12 [Kai Crewger]: oh, wait, I guess there is no form... I just copied one of the bios from the contestants, and erased it and filled in my own stuff

2006-01-12 [Duredhel]: there really isn't one ^_^, pretty much you decide which sections you deem important in a character sheet. Or use a form from some other RP you're already in. You could alsocheck the formats other people are using.

2006-01-12 [iippo]: There will be no direct form, you will make it yourself, write it in a wiki and link to that in the contestants page. Wow, lot of repetition...

2006-01-12 [NamelessMerc]: XD I think some people stole the basic form from me, and that's the old version of Wiki Fantasy Roleplay's application.

2006-01-12 [Akayume]: Okay then. ((I can use a char from an rp, right?))

2006-01-12 [iippo]: Yes.

2006-01-12 [Akayume]: okay, thanks. sorry for being so annoying><

2006-01-12 [Kai Crewger]: *nods* I got my form from [NamelessMerc]'s character application

2006-01-12 [Akayume]: really? thanks kai-chan *hugs*

2006-01-12 [Squirrel*]: i wouldnt mind trying.....where do i go?

2006-01-12 [NamelessMerc]: Champion's Tournament

2006-01-12 [iippo]: Follow the link to champion's tournament.

2006-01-12 [grey wanderer]: Mm, I think we've mastered redundancy here...Every question gets answered at least 3 times hehe.

2006-01-12 [NamelessMerc]: Aye... But I answered it first *slightly arrogant*

2006-01-12 [Kai Crewger]: ^^ oh well. that's whatcha get.

2006-01-12 [grey wanderer]: at least they get answered.

2006-01-13 [Saffron]: what? role-play? Can I be a NPC? Please?

2006-01-13 [Saffron]: it goes something like this: *Saffron-bot sees enemy* *Saffron-bot aims* *Saffron-bot shoots* *HIT! 10.000 damage, hooray!* *Saffron-bot is happy*

2006-01-13 [windowframe]: X_x *is being overwhelmed by the wiki commentage*

2006-01-13 [NamelessMerc]: Sorry, I've stopped contributing personally...

2006-01-13 [windowframe]: ^^;; it's gravy. You're not on most of the one's that are swamping me, I just watch too many ^^;; But these pages tend to have long names, so they make the list look even bigger, and scarier o.<

2006-01-13 [NamelessMerc]: Yeah... I have that problem in The Dark Underground, when it's got a lot of posts overnight.

2006-01-13 [Grengo]: Heh heh, this sounds kinda' nifty. Since I'm too lazy to make up new characters, I'll use some old ones I made up <_<

2006-01-13 [windowframe]: ^_^ We didn't really expect people to make chars especially for the tourny

2006-01-13 [Wes Foxx]: XD figures, why couldn't this've come a year or two ago, when I was still in practice? :3 I might just enter to challenge the others to do better rather than win.

2006-01-13 [Ironballs "the Preposterous One"]: So... much... commentage...

2006-01-13 [windowframe]: *shares Ironball's sentiment*

2006-01-13 [Ironballs "the Preposterous One"]: Heh, that's what happens when a wiki gets featured newsness.

2006-01-13 [Wes Foxx]: *nods* I think I'll pull out this guy. -> http://elftown.lysator.liu.se/stuff/Zanno.jpg Its fun to RP as my story series characters instead of just me all the time :P

2006-01-13 [Ironballs "the Preposterous One"]: And besides, this isn't an art contest anyway. ^^ pics of your characters are not required (I'd say make up for a picture with a really swell description, even if you are a good artist. It'll push you to make your char description even better ^_~)

2006-01-13 [Wes Foxx]: :P True. But even a crudely done sketch will help. *signs up both Wes and Zanno* hey, im #30 :P

2006-01-13 [Daddy_dano]: how ya join

2006-01-13 [iippo]: Champion's Tournament -- read all the sublinks there.

2006-01-13 [kahenevel969]: i just wanted to know if i send my character to SilverFire and iippo or somewhere else?... sorry new-ish

2006-01-13 [Kai Crewger]: no. go to Contestants

2006-01-13 [Faulty Limerence]: Yay! RP CONTEST! Finally my English skills may be put to good use!

2006-01-13 [Faulty Limerence]: P.S. I would hope that we will not all be RP'ing at the same time. That would just get messy...

2006-01-13 [Kai Crewger]: nah. there'll probably be like one or two people to an RP setting. ... just read thru all the subwikis, and you'll get the idea

2006-01-13 [kay-chan]: I can't join because I'd get crushed like grapes with Pan but I'm *so* going to cheer people on!

2006-01-13 [Faulty Limerence]: Cheer me on! Hahah. Anyway, Kai I was thinking about starting an RP like that. With only two PC's. Interested?

2006-01-13 [Kai Crewger]: hmmm.... message me yer idea.

2006-01-13 [Faulty Limerence]: Ookie day!

2006-01-13 [iippo]: There is an rp like that. One player, one game master. I can't link you I'm afraid can't remember it. It's out there in text somewhere.

2006-01-13 [Faulty Limerence]: Oh well, I want to start my own.

2006-01-13 [iippo]: But I do like the idea of it. :)

2006-01-13 [Izeiza]: Could someone re-clarify th rules for me please??

2006-01-13 [Grengo]: Anything ya' need help on specifically? ;p

2006-01-13 [Kai Crewger]: just go to CT Rules

2006-01-13 [Kai Crewger]: you must have at least one character from a non-copyrighted world, no godmoding/powerplaying/whatever you call it, please don't be too much of a jackass *coughcoughBakacough*, and have fun!

2006-01-13 [Grengo]: Well Kai pretty much said everything that needed to be said so.... yeah, what Kai said. <_<

2006-01-13 [Faulty Limerence]: Hey when am I a jackass?!

2006-01-13 [Kai Crewger]: *coughcougheditorialscough*

2006-01-13 [Wes Foxx]: I'm just wondering if this will be set in some kind of consistant arena thing or A.) A pre-arranged environment B.) Set in a place that the RPers decide on C.) or an empty world.

2006-01-13 [iippo]: You need not wonder that, because it is a surprise.

2006-01-13 [Faulty Limerence]: Ah yes, I am an editorial asshole. As in I correct people. But at least I'm always kind about it. People get so offended. They should just correct themselves and move on.

2006-01-13 [Kai Crewger]: literally. *points to [Blood Raven]'s comment below*

2006-01-13 [Blood Raven]: I believe I read [iippo] making a comment about it being in a random setting posted by a GM or so... It would be boring to be put in some arena constantly, and it'd exclude much RPing, I think. You just don't go and have a beer or a philosofical discussion in an arena... That's not what I'd normally do there anyway

2006-01-13 [Kai Crewger]: and yes Baka, but you can still be an editorial asshole. but I still love you. (in that friend-type way)
