OOC: A Time of Trial

[Surprised by joy]

I almost always use meticulous grammar when posting, and I ALWAYS use meticulous (or at least acceptable) grammar when writing. After all, I do consider myself a "writer". So I agree with Buskanaka, except for one area in which I would (humbly) correct him: capitalization. It happens at the beginnings of sentences, and in some other important places. Thank you. Oh, yes, I would like good grammar and spelling to be a rule, it makes for much more pleasant reading.

Hey, Buskanaka, who says I'm going to lose? I am a follower of Zantuk *and* more importantly a seeker of truth.

Lady_Firehawk, are you suggesting a sun/moon or creator/destroyer relationship?

And could I make up specific rituals and beliefs of this cult? If so, how bloody/dirty can I get? (I mean, human sacrifice, dark and foul temples, priests swear never to wash themselves; in essence, a typical "god" cult.)

 

[Buskanaka]

capitalisation?? what's that?

well you're going to lose because you're on the bad side, and also because I'm on the good side!

p.s. in australia we spell capitalisation with an s!

um.. not that bad. This is supposed to be a clever cult. Since a large population of Ithriya is christian, it'll take more subtleties to have them change side. Perhaps.. some ceremonies, rituals that they have to take at certain age or in certain time during a year? make them persistent guys.. i don't mind if some of them were so zealous that they liked threatening people while others tried persuasive techniques through promises of desires.

thanks for taking up the challenge, Surprised. Got more ideas? throw them out and we'll dissect them.

I tend to be pretty colloquial with grammar, but I really hate it when I end up with typos and stuff... I'm kind of a writer, too.

Sun/moon, creator/destroyer? Something like that, maybe. Maybe kind of a dualistic sort of thing, god/goddess, that kind of thing. PM me if you want to do a little more evil schemage on this score. 'Cause I was thinking of throwing a minor baddie in, probably subordinate to whoever you or VigilanteHamster play... (I'm also playing good guys, though... and I have some evil stuff planned for them!)

I always have evil ideas floating around, though!

 

[Surprised by joy]

Okay, you guys start. I'll join in on Monday if possible, right now I'm mad busy.
Sunday is the last night of IWT and I'm counseling, things will quiet down after that.

 

[Paladin44]

Would it be alright if I brought Orrifice back as a soldier in the Perian army, trying to do what's right? (With lots of explanation on how he ended up there, of course.)

 

[Blessed-one]

no problem, Paladin. BTW, i made Orrifice go to Kytah after the Zarkiara event, to fish for information regarding her sister.. you can disregard that, it's a short epilogue.

 

[dwarf lord lort]

thnx i wanna be evil erm can i be a dark wizard with his own ssquad of ppl on the evil team

 

[VigilanteHamster]

Hehehehehe... evil ideas, LF... ohhhh, the possibilities.

Anyhoo... I'll join the new thread if/when I can think of a character. Possibly someone connected with LF's trio in some way?

 

[Lady_Firehawk]

Well, Teglon's fiancee has been missing for a while... care to speculate? *big evil *

 

[Blessed-one]

uh, LF's ideas are pouring in! well, keep them coming.
i think dwarf's new post is directed to Buskanaka's, right?

 

[Lady_Firehawk]

I'm an RPG nut, haven't ya noticed? Teglon's fiancee the Zantukite... just make stuff up, VH.

 

[VigilanteHamster]

I made up stuff. The name's Isliel Belshassar and she's one eeevil ex-healer! I'll introduce her... soon... With the kind of medical knowledge she has, a healer that turns to harming could REALLY hurt someone, couldn't she?

 

[Lady_Firehawk]

Ooooh... life's seriously going to suck for Teglon if he ever runs into Isliel! I think I like her already!

 

[Paladin44]

Approxiametely how long is this after "The Lost Key?"

 

[Lady_Firehawk]

From what I gather, pretty much right afterwards. We're probably talking days, here...

 

[txchristian04]

I don't suppose I could hop in with Leo?

 

[VigilanteHamster]

Hmmm... I'd suggest slight alterations to fit the setting a little more (I dunno if there are matchlocks in Christia) but I'd say he sounds alright enough. Give him a nationality to go off of and take it from there!

 

[Blessed-one]

hi txchristian, good to have you join us. Adding onto what Vigilante said, it'd be easier if you chose an affiliation for Leo (see the fractions in intro post). It's fine if you don't, just put more infor in your opening post so that we know his background and what he is currently doing in Peria.

Approxiametely how long is this after "The Lost Key?"

since we're changing the scale of Christia to make it bigger.. it should be about 3.5 months afterwards.

what is your character doing Surprised? i'm not exactly sure how i should respond.. if i were supposed to anyway.

 

[VigilanteHamster]

I'll respond, since my character is a cultist.
