  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Uh.....no. Not to be a chronically hyper-competitive ego-centric whatever here, but I have to say NO, nobody matches Leighla. She is an archer-cleric ordained by God to fulfill her role as a protector of the forest and those who dwell therein. If you haven't already, read the bio. I won't belabor the point any further except to say that Leighla can outshoot Legolas. Nuff said.

Now, if Mathais would like some lessons....


P.S. Not to put too fine a point on things, but composite bows are a 20th century invention. Recurve bows are very powerful and they look really cool too. Used primarily in Asia by Mongols, Huns, etc. Do a Google search if you want to know more.

But Maldirk has a recurve bow... darn.

I had always thought that composite bows were a Persian invention. Are you thinking of compound bows?

Goodies, fall asleep and get to the town already! I'll be waiting there.

well post how the Green Knights are....dipping into the whoring and drinking....provide plot for our arrival to hear about...;)
Whoring and drinking? Tsk, tsk! Not for young ladies to think about! Though I am sure that the Greenys would love to be giggalos. First the gwarf, now this... and we must keep it appropriate for little James and Mathias!

I vote Leighla for archery
I vote Maldirk for swordplay
I vote Kamahl for magic

(Though whether a composite bow could outshoot a longbow was never called into question...)

I can't really vote Sathria for anything as she does not use swords but instead daggers, much more practical for someone not looking for a fight. She also isn't magical, she has a Holy Amulet, but that isn't magic, nor does she use it. It uses her more like. And bows and arrows aren't her thing anyways.

1.) Archer - Leighla
2.) Swordsplay - Maldirk
3.) Magic - James (cause he overpowered Kamahl...or was it Mathias???)

I have to agree with Mega, Star and Shocka, but I have a proviso; character development. It's one thing to come into a game with a barebones description of who your char is and what they do and role play that really well. It's quite another to give a detailed character description with a good background and role play THAT really well.

Archer: Leighla, anyone ordained by God is going to be the best

Sword: Maldirk, Mega uses words and good turn of phrase to describe what his char's are doing (Mmmmm, that sounds familiar :D ) But wait for Slice to show up!

Magic: Kamahl, after all the power is within him ;)

Re: the composite bow issue, I stand corrected. I WAS thinking of compound bows. Interestingly enough the Chinese also invented the composite bow, but some give credit to the Assyrians. I really like Google.

If the ones ordained by God are best, then Manfred should be best at sword play;):D. Ah, I dont care for having someone who is undefeatable in their field, more so someone who can help out in different ones. In Manfred's case, he melee's well, and he knows limited healing and has his holy bolt, however, other than holy bolt he has no archery stuff, especially since it is against the code of chivalry to use long range weapons(I'm looking at yooooouuuu Maldirk:p)

Aaaahhh, but is he ordained to be a holy warrior or a blade singer? There is a difference. :cool:

I LIKE having a character that is a superior in one particular thing. That means they are severely limited in most other areas and THAT makes for great role play. I'm excited about bringing Slice in. Leighla IS a great archer, but her personality is about as sparkling as last week's 7-up. Slice is going to spice things up.

You are right about a jack of all trades being more handy to have around. Just look at Asha! :D ;)

Ya, to be terribly honest, I prefer a character who is more of a "not the best but helps whenever he gets the chance and does his best" kind of guy, only not to so storybookish a degree, if you know what I mean. Not the, "I'm so frikin powerful that you need to just shut the heck up before I kill you!!!" kinda guy. You know what I mean?

The opposite with Maldirk and Everal Tepes
"I'm so frikin powerful that you need to just shut the heck up before I kill you!!!"
Everal Tepesh... scary! (In case you can't tell, I'm very happy you gave me that char)
Mega uses words and good turn of phrase to describe what his char's are doing (Mmmmm, that sounds familiar :D )
Is that a complement? I think I shall assume it is, although I have no idea what it means. So what, exactly, am I doing right? And why does it sound familiar?
I'm looking at yooooouuuu Maldirk
Maldirk threw a cloak over his shoulder and bellowed a deep laugh. "Hah, 'tis not my fault you are to goody-smuddy to use all the tools avaiable to you, sir! You have breached my honor and I challenge you to a duel! Composite or compound bows? That's right, you're a wimp! Wimpy-wimpy-wimpy, nahnahnahnahnahnah! Loser loser loser pants on fire!"
