Askier

I think you're right honestly. I mean I'm only level 15 my self. Lol. I'll need to build a set of base combat rp rule. Only thing that I could see as a possible issue with rp dueling is that it might get confusing about what is going on with numerous people all typing fight actions at once. Course I could also be over thinking that part, cause, honestly, who hasn't rped in a crowded room at least once.

((Need help with combat rule number 3)) Well, good news, everything seems to be rolling. In the next day of two, I'll have ready a basic outline and rule set for everyone to review based on the basic outline I have below for your observation. Supposing no one finds any glaring holes in it, I'll make a forum thread under the Balmung event tab and get the in game things set up. Basically there will be 5 stages now, each taking place a few days after the prior one Possibly one a week.) Stage 1 is registration and a meet and greet. Here, the heroes and Garleans will meet in two different role plays to become familiar with each others characters. Stage 2: The lead hero will receive an in-game letter that is supposed to be for the Garlean head agent. The lead hero will gather the hero participants and got to confront the agent, whom the lead will have already met and role played with separately prior to this all beginning. (Who is this head hero? You shall all learn soon. =D ) At the confrontation, there spies battle and escape, but not before the lead takes possession of a certain document that's lets the heroes know of another letter arriving soon that lists the bomb part locations Stage 3: The race. Ive settled that there will be 3 bomb parts at three different locations. The heroes will have a set amount of time to decipher the riddles and then get there characters to the locations. At first I was thinking it would be one after the other but with all the support we have, I think it should be a simultaneous event, forcing the hero group to divide itself. If the heroes arrive at each location before the time runs out AND there are more heroes than spies, the heroes seize the part. If either the heroes fail to arrive in time, OR if there are more spies than heroes, the spies take the part. At the end of Stage 3, the side with two parts wins, leading to either: A) The spies take the parts to Ul'Dah and set up the bomb. B) The spies are forced to flee, their plan in ruins Stage 4 then becomes either: A) If the spies have more parts, a race against time to defuse the bomb as the spies defend the bomb with their lives unless restrained or knocked unconscious. B) If the heroes have more parts, they will intercept a letter from the head spy telling his men to flee along a route. Then the heroes can plan an ambush. Stage 5 (Optional) If the head spy, or any of the Garlean spies are taken alive, they maybe interrogated for information and sentenced accordingly. Rules: 1) IC knowledge does not equal OOC knowledge. for this roleplay it is imperative that you don't use OOC information. I don't think this will be a problem though. 2) Please note that the Garlean characters are people's characters and we ask that they not be killed unless permitted by the player in (OOC) All Garleans will be asked when registering if they are okay with their character being killed. 3) Combat: There will be fighting in this. I'm currently debating between making fights be resolved via duel or rp. (Thoughts on this are needed ASAP.) 4) Have fun! I want this to be a lot of fun, and if there are a few hiccups here and there, please go with the flow. I've never done anything quite like this before and if it goes well enough, I'll try another. =D 5) Registration. Once registered, I will put your name on a list for your chosen side so players can rp together, even in the off time. Please note though that for stage 2, there will be a finite of entries who can participate directly since it requires some pretty personal role play in a small space, though all can watch. Other than that, there will be no limit the amount of players in this event. 6) Please note, any orders given by the lead hero of the head agent must be obeyed for the sake of keeping this organized. 7) Garlean agents, please understand that as much as your character doesn' want to , they will lose. This event is designed this way intentionally to give everyone a fun story to tell but heroes win in stories. Please note this going forward.

Wow! Thank you all for the support. I've been working the logistics out as best I can and seem to have a basic method, or lay out of how this could work. (Hopefully.) I've never run an rp quite like this before and appreciate help. It will start small with the first act and escalate from there. Since we have a few interested in being Garlean agents, these rpers would meet with my Garlean spy in game so they could all be introduced. Meanwhile, the heroes all meet and rp. Then the first episode starts a few days later with the head heroes uncovering a note and confronting the agent, after which the agent, with the help of his fellow agents, escapes. Then the next episode or two is the heroes trying to uncover how a magitek bomb works and locate the spare parts before the Garlean agents can recover them. If enough parts are apprehended by the heroes, the bomb can not be assembled and the final act is hunting down the spies. If the bomb is completed, the final act is a race against the clock to discover and disarm the bomb. But how do we figure out if they have enough parts? Still working on this for act 2 but I have in mind a sort of riddle game. Each part will be at a different port but a riddle will describe the correct ones. I'll post the riddle on a forum page I'll set up for the event supposed to represent the parchment the heroes find after they confront the head agent for the first time and then I'll start a timer of, let's say 10 minutes. The heroes then have 10 real world minutes to figure out the location of the part and arrive there. I'll have the agent there already and an rp will ensue as the heroes take control of the part. This will be a best 2 out of 3. If the riddles prove to hard and the agents obtain 2 parts, the bomb can be completed. If the heroes don't arrive in the allotted time, they arrive too late and the part is gone. If the heroes arrive in time and prevent the agents from leaving with the device twice, the third act become a hunt for the fleeing agents. This is what I have logistically so far. Shoot me your thoughts please, the more feedback I get, the better I can make this event

Don't worry about it! There's a lot of lore I'm still learning myself, that's what these forums are for. If you don't know it someone else does. :3 I really like the sound of either of those ideas. They both have potential to be a lot of fun. Maybe it's just because I suggested it or I think it would be amusing to watch someone try to disarm a magitek bomb ("Cut the blue wire!" "THEY'RE ALL BLUE!! /cry") but I like the first one the most. Between the two, I think the bomb one is my favorite as well. It would be easy to set up events to find the smuggled parts and the final act could be a lot of fun. Especially with the wiring. Lol :lol: Anyone know much about magitek bombs

Hey fellow noobie. I've only been around for a bit more than a week myself and would be more than happy to rp with you. My fiancee is new to role playing as well so I know it can be nerve wracking to meet knew people to rp with. I'd be more than happy to role play you as a long lost cousin or something. Feel free to shoot me a friend invite in-game and again, welcome to the community.

Hey everyone, thank you for your quick replies and advice. I'm still familiarizing myself with the intricacies of the world and am grateful for the advice. When I had originally considered the Ifrit, I had thought that the empire might use one to justify their invasion and use it as an excuse to further attack the beast tribes. The fact that the empire wouldn't know how missed me. Lol. Based on what you have told me, I have two other options. The first is that they try to assemble, in act 2, a magitek bomb with the required components that have been smuggled to various locations to make it easy for the parts to go unnoticed versus trying to smuggle a full bomb in. The second idea is that the agent, after collecting some required regents, tries to attune an aetheryte crystal to an aetherial gate the agent erects inside ul'dah, allowing a small Garlean strike force to slip in Trojan horse style and cause a lot of damage. Those are my next two options . Please let me know what you think and, again, thank you for all your help thus far with the brainstorm

Good evening everyone, I know I haven't been around very long in Realm Reborn, and I don't know even half of you as half as well as I'd like too, but I was thinking about organizing a public rp event that would take place over the course of a few weeks, and was wanting some feed back on my possible idea. I was thinking it could be an episodic sort of event over the course of several acts with people participating on a few levels. As I said, this is still, very much, a work in progress and could be scrapped, but my idea is that a character I play, and possibly some other players, are discovered to be an agent for the Garlean Empire who has smuggled inside fellow agents with the intent of unleashing a massive Ifrit inside the heart of Ul'dah. The purpose? To cause as much damage as possible to the city state for a small Garlean military force to take the territory easily. The arcsIi have in mind would be something like this, witch arc 2 likely divided into several small arcs: Arc 1: The threat is discovered and the agent is confronted, only to escape. Arc 2: The heroes who uncovered the plot attempt to move against the agent at a series of locations. This could be divided into several smaller arcs, each broken down into figuring out where the agent could be and stopping him or arriving to late. Arc 3: Based on actions in Arc 2, the agent and the heroes have a final confrontation in Ul'dah as he attempts to use magic to unleash the Ifrit inside the city or, if the heroes have caused enough damage to the agents efforts, (all determined via OOC discussion) the heroes confront the agent elsewhere in a final showdown as the agent flees. Arc 4: (This is a possible arc) The trial. If the heroes took the agent alive, they can try to interrogate him and determine his sentence. That's my outline. As I said, I'm more than happy for feed back and if people think there is enough interest in an idea like this, I would love help organizing it. Let me know what you think and thank you for your time. :lol:

Info! Sup. Just updating this again. Felt it was time to give this a revision.

I used to run a few very large server events, though its been about a year now since I've run one since I became to busy with my RL to put the time needed to run events that large anymore. I love this community and its part of why I stick around. I've also written a book called 'The Wheels of Diemer.' Rp Info I'm a para Rper and would say I tend to fall between the medium to heavy catagories. I rp on skype, on pm's here or in-game. I'm always eager to meet knew people and if you ever want to do, just shoot me a pm here since that's the easiest way to reach me. I'm super friendly. Rp time With my schedule, my time varies day to day. If you want to catch me, best way is to pm so I can give you an idea when will be good. Otherwise just catch me in game and whisper me. I'm always sociable

I've always really liked this song and just feel like it fits not just Askier but the whole game honestly. Least in my mind. lol xzir1B43I3E

Hey! I'm new as well so I defiantly can't judge anyone. Lol Anyway, I'm normally available most evenings to rp after work. Shoot me a whisper in game whenever you want and I'd be glad to rp.
