OOC:
That still doesn't negate the fact that it basically turns magic into an RPG commodity, Adwarf. All it means is that there's a chance of that commodity being used faster.

((Well I will try to think of something else that might work.))

[Mr. Pompular]

((Pompulion as demon hunter is a bit of a glorification of a evil wizard who summons demons and then banishes them for profit.))

[ashton1993]

((Funny the biggest issue of my character is how magic fits into it despite the fact that in the current description they're incapable of casting any magic at all))

((Pompulion as demon hunter is a bit of a glorification of a evil wizard who summons demons and then banishes them for profit.))

((Ah, guess I won't have to worry about you chasing me back and forth until you start getting questioned about it.))

[filiusenox]

((Oh god how many pages have been created since i was last on, THIS MORNING. Maybe i should make a small wiki or website describing Elbereth? So that new players can be sent there for guidance and to figure stuff out. And i would watch it people who are attempting bad things, i'm in sheepstead and i don't take kindly to murdering random merchants and causing problems...))

"I understand my lord, thank you for the Oppurtunity to serve you... I don't think therebe very many tratiors and spies after...What are we going to do with these spies? And may I round them up instead of your gaurd?"

[King_of_the_weasels]

((Imagine how great this game will be in it's You are King! 2: The kingoning, with all these rules, hugs rules and whispers sweet nothings in its ears))

All or nothing? Now why should I agree to that?  I've already won a handsome sum, and I doubt anything in your.. "collection" as you call it would even be worth what I have.

Get him to reveal the monkey so I can access if it's even worth it.

OOC:

I'm actually fine with Pompulion. He's a character who knows that magic isn't some toy to play around with, but is willing to take such massive risks for potential gain.

Ashton, my issue with your character is that it's a demon. I don't care if he can't actually cast spells, just the fact that it's an immortal talking bird is enough. Your backstory has an apprentice summoning some powerful demon of fire, and apprentices summoning powerful demons is something we've already declared to be insanely stupid, in this very thread no less.
We shouldn't even need to come up with new rules to keep magical characters in check. What we have is fine, and it should be a non-issue.

An OOC only thread has been proposed and is gathering support which should help but a wiki in addition would be very helpful, especially if we could all put in pages for stuff like our characters.

EDIT:

((OK, If you've that much problem with a talking bird that has a backstory involving magic I can create something new, just wanted to be creative was all. So should I let Iletium decide or if it's something that'll annoy you I 'spose it's fine for me to rethink. Also would it be fine for you if I had a sentinent bird/other animal with a reasonable lifespan if I change the backstory?))

[Jormundur]

((I second, or third, the wiki idea. I don't know how to set one up but if someone else wanted to I'd be willing to figure out how to edit pages and I think that would be beneficial for just about everyone.))

[Ghazkull]

Simple preachings would not do here...Corv needed to inspire fear into the dumber and more dupable of the populace. Time for some Demons to make their appeareance. Getting again in the guise of a simple monk Corv went out into the city to find a suitable victim...

look in the city for important or less important badly guarded monks/priests/bishops/people of religious importance. When found send Corv and his men out in their monk costumes at night wearing skull masks. Assassinate the man, skin him and leave some ridiculous prophetic message in blood(something like: HEAR ME MORTALS AND HEED ME WELL, YOU HAVE INCITED THE WRATH OF JORMUNGUND) do it in a public place so people get scared. Afterwards sent the Radicals out again to preach. Be sure to get some Greek Fire which is used if escape is necessary...

EDIT: @Ashton: although i personally dont have a problem with your character its somewhat a bit useless to play a bird here. This game is mostly about being a noble/king/raider/merchant etc. not that i want to stop your enthusiasm here but what exactly do you want to accomplish with a bird? I suggest you make up a new Character more along the lines of a druid/shapeshifter/ propably even a scribe who sets up rookerys around the country and amkes a business out of it...or why not tyke the druid idea from before and be the one behind the village attack? It's certainly not as creative as a talking bird but far more fitting for the game and gives you more possiblities then flying around and blinding people...

OOC:

You can wait for Iituem's input and all that if you really want to play a demon bird. Since I seem to be the only person vehemently opposed to the concept at the moment, it might not turn out to be too much of a problem, and you may be accepted.
But the particular low-magic feel of this game is something that I know Iituem said he wanted to keep around at one point.

It's possible to be original without being some freaky out-there thing, too. Just look at any of the major movers and shakers. None of which, you'll notice, have made use of magic or the supernatural in any form so far aside from maybe lying about such abilities in order to intimidate superstitious peasants.

[Knave]

((I would also prefer to keep demons/sentient animals/birds out of this game. Nothing against the character, seems original, but I personally don't think it fits with the tone of the game. Magic should be playing second fiddle to political intrigue))

[Zako]

((Hmmm... Well, it appears to me that there is one thing you guys are missing in your kingdom... A SPYMASTER!!))

The cloaked figure slowly walked his way to the palace gates, head down and hood up, even though it was a clear and sunny day. Though he did nothing to the surrounding populace, they seemed to part before him slightly, as if he gave off an aura of uneasiness that they wanted no part of.

As he finally reached the palace gates, he was stopped by the guards, both of which were shaking very slightly just from being near this man.

"Stop. What is your business stranger?"

As the stranger came to a complete stop before the guards, he lifted his head and the guards gasped as they saw that underneath his hood, they could see only a pair of eyes, clear as fresh stream water. The voice that they heard was raspy and sounded slightly breathless.

"I come bearing services that your king may be interested in hearing. Go announce me for him will you, but do it quietly. Tell him that The Mask desires to have an audience with him."

As one of the guards nodded and rushed off to comply, a pickpocket tried his luck against the stranger, reaching out to lift some valuables when the guard wasn't looking. A brief glimpse of studded leather armour and some metal that belonged to some kind of weapon was all that was shown before the pickpocket left screaming, his fingers broken.

((How's that for an intro?))

[ashton1993]

((Ok demon bird seems a bit disputed so that idea's chucked out now, thinking of something unique again, struck between a clockwork man and a blind archer))

EDIT: ((or a clockwork man who's geomancer never gave him functioning eyes, hmm, decisions, decisions.))

[Shootandrun]

((Hello. I played You are lord and liked it, but when it fell into inactivity I did'nt join this. When I saw the "Players welcome." I decided I might try again. However, I am not going to read the 141 pages behind this post, so can I have a brief summary of the lore? What's happening right now? What roles are needed?))

[micelus]

Locanil paced the archives. Not enough time and too much work. There had been little progress on the histories and the deadline was not too far away. Even if they worked everyday, all night and day, without breaks Locanil doubted that the commission could be completed in the time allocated. Never the less, even if they did fail to do the task in time, they would still complete it, without pay. These histories would go on to educate hundreds, perhaps even thousands...Mere money is not something that should block the way to enlightenment...

Action- Work on the commission.

ahem.


oh and ashton, if you don't want to be human, you could be a hatcuri...Locanil would appreciate a fellow hatcuri.
