Personally, I'd prefer to start with something a little more low-key to begin with, and move on to fighting something dragon-shaped and mean. Plus, it'd give us time to figure out how everything will work, what our characters are like and possibly recruit somebody to play a big, mean dragon. Surely there'll be no shortage of people who'd want to play a dragon, crushing the hopes and dreams of player characters underfoot like so many broken twigs!

Sounds like a fair proposal. I agree that we'd need time to get to know each others' characters. I will leave a post open for the dragon though. I sense that this will be a good RP.

Kalas (and whoever else who might be interested) I'm kisa.8209. I'm somewhat new to Guild Wars, and I don't get much time to play, but I try to be on frequently enough.

And I'll get working on an idea for a character, although it's closer to "narrow down what I want to play" - my head is buzzing with ideas at the moment, especially thinking about playing out ideas that don't translate well into the game because of, well, it being a computer game.

--Ignore. I made a mistake.--

I will definitely come find you. as for the dragon, I know very little about this sort of thing because I'm still in my 20's and working on my personal story. But I agree with the racial histories. I would just need help with a few other details. I would be able to grasp it pretty easily, I just need to hear it from somewhere.

Dude, hit me up man, I'll come help you level. Or you can just run the K-train in Edge of the Mists. You'll hit level 80 in about a week. (Not including Exp Guild Buffs) What server are you guys on btw? I'm on Sanctum of Rall. And I know most of the racial histories but this site is always your friend :D

Zmerr said Lol Quaggans are cool too. If we end up doing the dragon thing, it would be awesome if someone played the dragon too. I usually like to play the bad guys, but, on this one, I think I'll have to pass.

That sounds like a decent idea. We could potentially do something regarding the Human/Charr conflict. i.e. Racial emissaries or representatives of each of the three main organisations; The Vigil, The Durmand Priory & The Order of Whispers.

Maybe something to do with a Dredge or Skritt uprising. Or even something to do with the Tengu. I'm pretty well versed in their history since they are my favorite GW race...even if they are unplayable. :D

I definitely think we should play more than one character. That way I can play as my Norn Warrior and Human Mesmer. :P

Sadly, I'm in the EU, so I won't get to join in with the crazy levelling-up scheme! Dang.

There's a lot of stuff to choose from. Considering that Zmerr quite reasonably asked about the idea of a co-GM earlier on in the thread, it could be nice for each player to share some of the burden of GMing and run a little thing for each of the other players, especially if our characters are representatives from the Vigil / Priory / Order, or racial representatives. With Kalas's encyclopaedic knowledge of all things Tengu, Kalas runs an episode where the other characters are sent off to do something with them. I'd love to run a little something or other about Skritt. I'm not sure what kind of crazy, evil schemes Zmerr has planned, but I'm looking forward to seeing them unfold.

So, taking it turns, we get to share the burden of GMing a little, we'd build up our own little lore version of the world based on the shenanigans we get up to, and it'd feel like our characters have got some accomplishments under their respective belts before taking on the Big Bad Dragon-y Things. It's just a suggestion, of course, but I think it might be a nice way to get things moving!

[Kalas]

Ooooh, I like this idea. This is a good idea. :D

Ah man that sucks. can't you still guest over to a NA server though?

And I heard that EU EOTM didn't have K-trains. Is that true?

[Subtle Shift In Emphasis]

Kalas said can't you still guest over to a NA server though?

I don't think I can, nope. You can guest to other servers in your region, but the gulf that is the Atlantic shall forever keep us separate.

[Zmerr]

I'm in Sea of Sorrows. I jumped like four levels yesterday, which is a lot for me. I have a friend that's level eighty and they help me run WvW, PvP, and soon we'll be doing dungeons too. So I've been leveling up much quicker lately.

Ahhh Sea of Sorrows....I remember when SoR used to face you all the time in WvW. We had some decent battles on our way to Tier 1 haha!
That's great to hear, I had to level my Mesmer on my own. It's by far the most boring thing ever :D And I can run the Ascalonian Catacombs with you if you want? I don't mind guesting over.

Just to let you know, I'm writing up a plot idea I had for the Tengu. It's in regards to Subtle's suggestion of us each being a GM for certain storylines.

EDIT:

Aaaand here you go!

Awesomesauce. I've been trying to complete some of the map. Though, there doesn't seem to be much (if any) Ascalonian activity in the Asura homeland. So exploring outside of my territory (which I have also been trying to do) will likely do me a lot of good. I supposedly completed the Ascalonian territory in Ashford. I must have done that with my Charr. I rarely play him anymore, but he's my second highest level and considerably behind my Asura.

That's awesome! I'm reading up on it now! Thank you! :)

[Zmerr]

Would we be the emissary group? That's fantastic by the way.

[Kalas]

I'm glad you like it :D

And no, that emissary group is actually a group of Angchu descendants, being escorted by a few Caromi and Avicara soldiers. The Angchu are also an ancient tribe of the Tengu, being the oldest tribe of all five Tengu Tribes, and fought alongside the Sensali during the Tengu Wars against the Canthan Empire. Although peace was eventually agreed upon between the Angchu and the Canthans, which also lead to the Sensali's hatred of the Angchu spawning a fierce and violent rivalry, they still possess a notable distrust of all humankind. Despite this, they are headed to Lion's Arch to explain the secession of the Sensali Tribe from the unified Tengu nation due to Riku Hookbeak's failed attempt at seizing overall power of the Dominion of Winds.

There is a fifth Tengu Tribe. They are known as the Quetzal and are the oldest of the three Tyrian Tribes.

Ahhhhh I see now. *thumbs up* :)

[Zmerr]

I will be largely unavailable this weekend as I have a visitor coming into town and will likely be spending most of my time with him.

[Kalas]

I'm away this weekend too.

[Kalas]

YoYoYo!

Everybody still here? Add me up on Skype: kalasalseif
Let's get a group chat going. :D

[Zmerr]

Okie dokie. Will do. I should show up as kisa11481

[Subtle Shift In Emphasis]

Added you both on Skype, I think, otherwise I've been sending requests to random strangers who conveniently use your avatars. I'll try and leave Skype on for the most part, although obviously our different time zones might mean I'll need to catch up on what's been said when I wake up in the morning!

[Zmerr]

That's fine. You got me right. I tend to stay up pretty late here, so I should at least be on while you are for a little while.
