Pre-guildfall, advanced had far more elitism than it has these days, @boomlover. Those people fortunately left the guild, as they made guild life harder for the rest.
That could be interesting, @Gowi. Besides, you can always have a character switch faction later in the story.
nice to hear, @SushiJaguar.

Seems a lot of people want to torture others. Isn't that nice, sweet and kind of them?

Thanks for the quick response, @DrunkasaurusRex. We've noted it down.

It seems like a good concept
Provided the missing background material is finished by that time, the OoC should be up within a few days.

If you're still interested, we're wondering what factions you wish to make characters within, as that will provide us with a clearer idea of how many members each faction has.

Thanks again for showing interest, @The Dow Dragon@NarcissisticPotato@Gowi@babbysama@DrunkasaurusRex. Seeing people show interest shows us that the work put into the planning has not been in wain.

Note that even if you should find out that you're too busy right now, there is always room for joining at a later point, though there may be somewhat more restrictions on factions at that point (the story will clarify needs as it grows).
We couldn't care less about how old someone is, how many posts they have, how long they've been on the guild or anything like that. The only thing we care about when we host an RP is whether they can produce something of a quality we deem fitting for our RP. Sure. That could mean that some people might not get in, but that's too bad for them.

We'd much rather take the thirteen-year old who looks able to write good, clean english than the twenty-odd year guy (or gal) who can't spell correctly, let alone get grammar right. In fact, had you not provided a number for your own age, we would naturally have assumed that you were considerably older.

As for the bit about free? In our experience, free tends to have terrible grammar and spelling. There might be RPs in that section where that isn't the case, but we've not seen them. Mostly because its not a section we venture into. Despite what many seem to think, if you're able to write five paragraphs, you're well within the parameters for advanced.

Our current RP is in advanced, and the only difficult someone young might have in there is the fact that it'll deal with numerous pretty dark themes. What we care about from the posters in our RPs is what they achieve with their posts and how much thought they put into it. Not whether it has n words or paragraphs or whatever. Making a high-quality character sheet is key.

In fact, if you think you can handle dark themes (will likely include torture of both emotional and physical natures, death, betrayal, etc...) and you're into Star Wars, then feel free to check out our RP, Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath. Its not for the feint of heart, but we judge people only on what they produce, not on parameters like the ones described in the first sentence of this post.

Fair enough, @TheDuncanMorgan. We've got plenty to work on with Aftermath currently in any case. Soon there'll be a lot of sheets to review there.

thats one nice thing about Formaroth... It doesn't demand n posts per week.
you know... cannons actually came before smaller firearms... Mind you, the earliest cannons had a 50/50 chance (or so) of being more lethal to their crews.

Shiny armor. Check
Impressive capes. Check
Fancy swords. Check.
Training. Why? aren't they impressive enough already? Do they really need this?




On a more serious note...
Anything happening in the capital anytime soon? Spmething that can get Urd's attention, for example.
@ZB1996

That is more than fair. The best way to get things right is to read and practice writing. With writing, it almost is true with "practice makes perfect."

We've done ridiculous amounts of research for characters at some points. Delving into deep lore for minor traits that would have zero effect upon IC. So we think we're kinda guilty of going too deep at times.

We've also seens sheets far more horrible than yours. Probably made some of those ourselves too, back when we were our age.
oh, we know. we referred more that armor designs might be affected by the role magic plays in war. Its a nice simple rule. Prevents a lot of potential OP.

The key factors for what armor they might be wearing are (we think):
  • Funds available
  • Army size
  • access to raw materials and smiths to use them


The cheapest armor that isn't cloth is boiled leather, studded leather or (if category three is good above) mail of some sort.
