Bio

I am a Roleplayer with an interest in science fiction and fantasy, with a preference for Casual. I have been roleplaying for several years, and have even taken a stab at running a few RPs.

Outside the Guild, I am an Australian science student, gamer, musician and roleplayer (that's right, IRL too).

@Frettzo, Actually, I think we've got several small collabs going at the moment, rather than one big one. I'm in two at the moment.

But perhaps we collab too much. While it's fine for those involved, those who aren't see nothing but silence (possibly for quite a long time if we get one paragraph/line of dialogue per player per day).
@Rtron@Muttonhawk@Vec@Kangutso, what if, when we have the big Avatar battle, we post it live rather than in one big collab? It means it gets split up into lots of little posts, possibly very short posts, but it also keeps the action to the thread so everyone can see and feel like stuff is happening.
@Lugubrious, here's a summary. There's probably more, but I already had this one written up.

Okay, important points relevant to what's going on:
-Vestec has sent his Hordes of Chaos across Galbar from the Changing Planes.
-One is a Hain/Angel horde marching west en route to the White Sea, although Teknall and Gerrik are intercepting them before they tear apart everything in their path.
-One is carried by the gargantuan Grot, comprised of humans, urtelem and rovaick, and is heading towards the Valley of Peace. Niciel's Angels and Urtelem led by Sculptors are going to deal with that.
-One is comprised of Ashlings and Pronobii and are heading south to Reathos' Pronobii. They are going to be intercepted by an army of Urtelem, which will kill almost all the Ashlings so they don't destroy every village on the west coast of the Fractal Sea.
-He's also sent out a bunch of Storm Djinni (elementals), to fight other elementals. Zephyrion and Ventus are dealing with that.

-To put a wrinkle in things, Vestec created his Avatar, Violence, to join the Hain/Angel horde.
-Vestec is blackmailing Teknall and Kyre, demanding favours in exchange for not having Violence torture and murder every Hain it finds.
-At present (not yet posted), Teknall is in negotiations with Kyre, asking whether he'll cede to Vestec's demands or fight.
-If the latter option is picked, then Teknall will come to Yang'Ze and ask for his assistance as well, because he's still owed a favour since you said making a star was too trivial.
-Teknall will then make his own Avatar, and Kyre probably will too.

-Concurrently, Toun learned of Vestec's horde, and Violence, so created two Avatars, Majus and Minus, to fight Violence.

Extra things I can remember:
-The demigod Keriss was made by Vulamera and Vakarlon.
-The Pronobii have been attacked by the horde sent for them. In response Reathos has risen a horde of skeletons from across the world to help.
-Jvan made a crazy monster race which eats everything and turns it to dust, but especially targets elementals (currently rather rare, you'd be unlucky to run across one).
-Jvan made a space baby Holy Site in orbit.
-Vestec has tried to make Niciel and Toun fight each other. Niciel saw through the bluff, but Toun is still fooled.
-Lifprasil left the Celestial Citadel, and then went and made friends with Belvast the cat.

And there's probably a few other things, but those are all I can remember to list right now.
Other people are welcome to make agriculture. Teknall doesn't have dibs on it.

@Muttonhawk@Rtron, As for the Rovaick, I do want Teknall to interact with them. It is through this interaction that I intend for Teknall to get inspiration for making Skytre's demigod. When you make the doc send me it too, please.

Also, while most of you might be finishing your exams, mine are coming up next month, so I may be busy over the next 6 weeks.
In Mahz's Dev Journal 10 yrs ago Forum: News
@Mahz M'lord, may I be so bold as to inquire if GM's will gain the ability to delete posts in their threads? I have a lot of characters of people who have disappeared from my roleplay that are clogging the tab.


Post deletion has been discussed a few times before. I believe Mahz's stance is to not have any means to permanently delete posts, for safety. There has been thoughts about a feature to hide posts, at least in some kind of hider, which would probably satisfy your needs. There are mixed opinions as to whether such powers should be granted to GMs, though. Not sure what Mahz's opinion is on that.
Man. So,many holy sites.

Vestec needs to get cracking and breaking some of them.


Vestec has a war to finish first.

Check your PMs. Kyre wants to talk with Vestec.

P.S. We still haven't settled the battle between the Urtelem and Ashlings. I'm not sure how much it's worth writing up, though, since we knew that, to not get discontinuity with Legion, it'll just remove most of the Ashlings, and otherwise it provides no advancement or development. Thoughts?

P.P.S. @Kho @Cyclone I built a Holy Site on Turn 2. When can I build a new one? Was it this turn or next?

P.P.P.S. @Antarctic Termite Your new holy site mentioned something about an umbilical cord? Is that connected through a Gap portal, or is its connection to Jvan through physical space? The latter would be rather impractical.
@Rtron HUZZAH!
I suppose it's about time for the next turn. Although it'll be interesting going into the 5v1 Avatar battle with a heap more Might.

@Muttonhawk, Kangutso has responded. Kyre et al shall be fighting Violence.

I really haven't been following ICly for some time now. A quick summary will be necessary :/

-All up, we're potentially looking at a 5v1 Avatar battle, and you're invited (unless Kyre chooses to give in to Vestec's demands, in which case no fight).

No! One does not simply leave posts such as these in the IC. YOU WILL write one of these 100,000 character long collabs to put in that spot!

Regarding posts, I really should do a solo post. It's been probably a full month since I've done anything but contribute mildly to collabs (speaking of which, to @BBeast@Rtron Ventus promised to help in the upcoming battle, have you already got that underway? Can I join?) and send Ventus on errands.


We won't be needing Ventus for a large amount of time, both IRL and IC. Ventus shall be helping for the Hain/Angel horde, but before that we need to deal with Violence, which will take a while. I'm still waiting on @Kangutso to decide on what Kyre is doing. It's a rather pivotal decision, since he has the power to avert the battle with Violence altogether, should he be willing to owe Vestec a favour.
I've been waiting on @Rtron and @Kangutso for collabs.
<Snipped quote by BBeast>

I do not mind at all.


In that case, we shall all gang up on Violence. We'll have one hell of a time trying to coordinate all the players in the battle sequence, but maybe by sheer numbers the battle will be short enough to counteract that. Unless Kyre goes for the easy way out, in which case the whole battle is averted.

Speaking of which, @Vec, if Kyre opts for the hard way, would you still be willing/available to send Yang'Ze into the fight? I believe Teknall still has the rest of that favour to cash in, and Yang'Ze's assistance is the perfect thing to spend it on. If not, we can live without (especially now that Majus and Minus have rocked up), but I'd prefer it if you did join in.

Cheers! I fully expect them to be changed in subtle ways by the endless meddling tinkers of this pantheon, regardless. I also got to read a little bit about calligraphy and learn cool words like majuscule and minuscule.


Ah, I didn't know those words. But I do now, which makes the names make even more sense.

Half of me wants to avoid the battle with Violence because the collab would probably take weeks to write, being between up to 5 players in different time zones for a high-action battle sequence. The other half of me does want it to happen, because then I get to make a REALLY COOL AVATAR. I'll make it either way, but sending it into action immediately would be so much more awesome than letting it collect dust for the next few thousand years.
