I'll address your points in the exact same format, for ease of communication...

[list]
[*] Ah, I see. My primary reason for avoiding the arena forum entirely (outside of comments in the last thread about the tendency for my characters to be rather "broken") stems from my desire to avoid this sort of "Win/Lose/Draw" point system completely, so that might actually be something I need to find out before I truly commit to this; otherwise it could need to be done over a 1x1 role-play instead, which I don't oppose the idea of doing.
[*] I don't blame you for considering running some casual simulations against yourself, since I mentioned in the last thread that I engage in this sort of practice a lot, especially since I need to do it all the time with my main story project. I believe I understand the concept of medieval fantasy well enough, so it was more a concern of details (which I'm probably simply overthinking).
[*] On my end, I'm well aware of the fact that I often go into great detail about things, which puts some people off, but I do so in order to make sure a discussion or debate doesn't miss anything. As for people rubbing me the wrong way... generally speaking if people talk down to me or disrespect me that is the easiest way for me not to take others serious or find them irritating; I won't tolerate or associate with people who make presumptions of me or underestimate me. Though I may clash with people over opposing principles or philosophy, it's more often due to that instead since I can discuss those maturely if the other side doesn't talk down at me. Nevertheless, I agree that discussing that previous thread is fruitless, and I'd like to put it behind me; I don't expect a response to any of this. All of my statements here were more generalized anyway, not specific to a single thread.
[*] Firstly, I appreciate you using two classic RPGs that I am both familiar with and also a fan of; using Dart in particulate illustrates a firm idea for me of what you're looking for. I actually took the time to check your bio, and noticed you're quite fond of The Elder Scrolls; I only know Oblivion personally but I decided to base my character around some of my limited knowledge of that game (though I stuck with an aesthetic I'm generally more aligned to) in terms of concepts, including magic spells. Based on what you've suggested as the expected power level, my current character might actually fit perfectly, or perhaps might even be a little too weak; Oblivion had five levels of proficiency instead of six, to my knowledge, so if need be I could take a quick look at some information from Skyrim; not that we're inherently basing it off of Skyrim but I've admittedly only given my character a few low grade spells (one of which I assume will be useless unless you use a very specific type of character).
[*] Based on your point here (alongside my answer to your last point), perhaps it would be best if I simply show you my character at this time. I admittedly threw it together in about an hour in the middle of some of my other work, but I think it should be roughly in the area you're looking for. I believe the familiar archetype for what I had in mind for this character I've created would be "Holy Knight"/"Paladin"; I tried to go with something that was appealing to me without having to deal with the inherent overpowered potential of a mage and trying to avoid the usually very complex concepts I bring to the table.[/list]

I can either post my character into the OOC of the new thread, or over a PM; whichever you prefer.

This is where I interpreted the intention to not have it impact the records from; I suppose I read into it [i]too[/i] much.
