Current Quick everyone, PM Mahz with your wishlist for Guild updates and new features. The more the better. In fact, send him a PM about it every day. Make that every hour. Chop chop!

To all the homies in Florida -- stay safe out there. Now is not the time to wrangle an alligator and surf it down the flooded streets. I know, it's hard to resist the urge.

Bio

On the old version of the Guild I was the record holder for 'Most Infraction Points Without Being Permabanned'.

My primary roleplaying genres are fantasy and science fiction. Big fan of The Elder Scrolls, The Lord of the Rings, Warhammer 40,000, Mass Effect, Fallout and others.

Hello dear friends,

@RomanAria has decided to step down from her role as contest moderator. As she was the only remaining active contest mod this means it's time for a round of new recruits ready to revitalize the contests with vision, inspiration and regular updates. The rest of the staff has always been pretty hands-off about that part of the Guild so you, potential applicant, would be able to do with the contests more-or-less what you wish, as long as it works.

If this sounds like your cup of tea, send a private message to @Ruby and myself and tell us why you think you're the man/woman/etc for the job.

People who regularly get in trouble with the moderators can save themselves the trouble and need not apply.

Cheers,
Hank
Yes, go ahead. I'll write something for Narzul after your movealong post.
Glad you let us know. I know how that feels.
Real life takes precedence. I understand that just as much as the next guy. If you can manage a post on Sunday, that'd be swell; if not, we'll skip Raelynn for now and I'll just point at someone else that has to post.
Next round of posts starts now. If all of the able-bodied members of the party do indeed pile on the big draugr and attack it, it will die with only a very small chance of wounding one of its attackers in a final act of revenge.
Four draugr were already down, courtesy of Balen, Daro'Vasora and Skall, who made good use of his (and his weapon's) size and took down two of the infernal creatures by himself. Hector had felt Vensor's arrow whizz by his head and saw how it struck the largest draugr beautifully in the shoulder. Its huge sword now hung uselessly by its side. Not one to be left out and eager to capitalize on their early advantage to end the fight quickly, Hector entered the fray himself. Not dramatically, like Skall, or agile like Daro'Vasora, or with the lanky strides of Balen, but instead the practiced march of the Legionnaire -- sword at the ready, shield raised, and measured steps. One draugr turned to face him. "Dir volaan!" it said, squeezing the sound out of its rotten throat, and swung its axe at Hector. The blow glanced uselessly off of Hector's shield.

"Sorry, what was that?" the Imperial asked casually and retaliated. He stepped forward with unexpected speed and drove the steel spike mounted on his shield into the draugr's chest. It gurgled and reared back its axe for another strike, but Hector beat the slow, shambling monster to the punch and drove his sword through the draugr's face. The instant the tip of the steel longsword touched the draugr's brow the blade's enchantment sprung to life and fire spread from the wound, briefly setting the draugr's head ablaze. It sank heavily to the floor.

Behind him, Sjara was too distracted by the panicking Raelynn to notice that one of the draugr had, in its own lowly cunning, seen an opportunity and struck the Bosmeri huntress from behind with its sword. It was a glancing blow because Raelynn's grasp pulled Sjara closer to her and away from the draugr, but it still drew blood, and Hector's head whipped around at the sound of pain. He quickly ran the draugr through with his longsword, flames licking at its torso, before it collapsed to the ground and extinguished. He checked on Sjara quickly -- she wasn't seriously hurt -- and left her in Raelynn's care with a quick nod that said 'You know what to do'.

As he returned to the fight, the effects of the silencing gust of wind wore off and magicka could freely be used again.

Now there were only three draugr left and the adventurers had them surrounded, including the big one. It had dropped his longsword and picked up one of its fallen comrade's one-handed swords to use with its remaining good hand and was now swinging it threateningly at the living. "Faaz! Paak! Dinok!" it said. Even in death, Hector could hear its anger. The Imperial looked around and locked eyes with the others. He pointed his blade at the draugr commander. If they took it down now in a swift and decisive multi-pronged attack, the other two draugr would be a piece of cake.

"Attack!"
Been patiently waiting on @Inkarnate while I've been out living my own life, but if he doesn't post very soon I'll write a Hector post and we can start the next round of shenanigans.
Quick note: it has never been the modus operandi of the Guild mods to be pro-active or "visible" in the way that @Odin means. The staff is around to clean up the mess and move threads when people ask us. Users are expected to handle issues themselves if they don't feel like involving a moderator, because we won't look for it otherwise. If the moderators seem like they're resting on their laurels instead of changing anything or actively engaging with the community it's because that's not part of their responsibilities. Never has been, probably never will be. They're not here to promote activity. Mahz provides a service and we're simply the extension of that. If users don't make use of that "feature", that's up to them. I don't want the moderators to loom over everyone and inject themselves into the community specific and minor sub-sections of the community if they don't feel like it. In fact, I prefer my moderators to be as unobtrusive as possible -- there when you need them, but otherwise out of your way.

And while we're discussing this big list of issues points of improvement, some of which I agree with, others I think are dubious and yet others I think aren't significant at all, the vast majority of the Guild users simply trundle along, writing their RPs in quiet content. They don't need more (or more visible) moderators. In fact, they don't need the existing moderators at all. That's an important perspective that needs to be remembered.
@Hekazu chose to attack the Big Boss and rolled a natural 6 out of 6, which means the Draugr is severely injured and incapable of attacking anyone next round.

Hector hasn't done anything yet, so I'll write a post for him after y'all are done. Might take a shot at the big one if nobody else does, but you still need to roll to attack. It'll be an easy one, but combat-focused characters get a positive modifier.
Reminded me of this classic copypasta.
