Rings of Honor

- A FreeForm Roleplaying Community  

When I RPed and dueled I preferred someone who would RP as well most of the time (though sometimes just getting a duel or two in real quick was nice), but there is definitely a gamer thing going on here too. Some people are here primarily to game, not RP. Though even then most of that crowd sends ou...

"::lets new guy win:: See? You won already!" I want to encourage the new players by... playing with them! Get them into the role play, help them interpret the moves, getting their characters going, giving them an opponent, explaining the Matrix, and making sure they enjoy the entirety of ...

I don't really participate here on any kind of regular basis anymore, but after seeing this thread I did want to chime in. Forever ago when I was new to dueling I remember quite a few people trying to help me out and offer advice, teach me the basics, etc. They were very helpful and welcoming, and I...

Seconded!

It's neat to see Candy tear it up in everything. XD

I did read everything you and anyone else said. Some ideas are still under consideration. Regarding this one of yours, how about you run such a tournament. Just stick up a post. If you want to hand out a prize that has any influence on regular dueling or standings, shoot me a PM with what you have ...

I'm in favor of a unique system rather than yet another cookie cutter thing, yes. That and I'm not sure I like the idea of stripping high ranks of the chance to win RoK. Sure, it benefits low ranks more, but as is lower ranks can get a hold of it as well. It's not impossible. Not even close to impos...

I don't think you actually bothered to read half of what I wrote, so I'll repeat myself. I don't think there needs to be an apprentice only tournament. DoM does not have the numbers to even support an apprentive only tournament. With that said, I don't think mages masking themselves as throwaway cha...

I have a simple solution to give the lower ranks in DoM their own tournament. How about making the Ring Of Klytus a Tournament prize, instead of the system in place now? My proposal for this tournament is to limit the entries to the middle rank, in other words Magician, and below, so as to truly fu...

Soerl, Carley, I apologize for that post, it just touched on a nerve and I snapped. The reaction was uncalled for and really didn't have a place in this thread. Druid, it's all good. Your edit clarifies for me what it is you meant. That some refuse to duel those of high rank because of the assumpti...

In regards to the all ranks tournament, let me repeat what I said elsewhere in the board about low rank tournaments. We used to have apprentice only tournaments. People that wanted to be in the tournament but only had higher ranked characters simply made new characters so they could participate wit...

Also! Harris said it best when he said lower ranks need their own cyclic tournament. The problem so much isn't that everyone can enter ART, but that low ranked people in magic would very much like to have their own low rank tournament, just as Fists and Swords does. If a low rank cycle tournament ca...

What does the fact I have a high ranked character in FISTS have anything to do with anything going on in this thread?

Soerl pretty much said everything that needed to be said, albeit much nicer and more eloquently than I was going to say it.

I have more thoughts but can't think of an entirely polite way to put them for public consumption, so I'll keep them close until I can.

Druid, all I can say, reading that last post, is that it seems rather..complicated. Increasing the complexity of the sport is not going to attract a larger player base, in my opinion. Just wanted to toss that out there. I agree. The previous post, and the MP idea Neo drafted up, strike me as overco...
