so I kind of collect concept art on DA for Wake inspiration. This post will just be a permanent place where I can dump nice art finds.

If you sticky this, I'll put new ones in comments, so you can always see when I've posted some new find.

Hi folks, it's that time again, but we're doing it a little differently.

This post is for volunteering to be part of the Angelii vote. Having a character who is an Angelii is quite the responsibility, so think carefully before doing so. There is no time limit on how long you need to have been in the game to volunteer; anyone can throw their hat in. As a reminder of what an Angelii is anyway, I ask that you please read the Angelii page for a refresher.

THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN BEFORE, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

By the request of the players, we have changed the requirements for being an Angelii. Along with your volunteer post, please submit a short essay detailing how your character has grown and changed during their time in Nautilus.

As an example, here's my essay for Prowl (and yes, he's in the vote this time)

PROWL )

Please submit the essay in your comment. I will post them all in one post with the poll at the end of this week.

Thank you.

Back on the HMD, a number of people expressed concerns about the way Angelii voting functions. The main complaint was that it is essentially a popularity contest. While the moderators admit that the way we conduct the voting is not ideal, it is the only way we currently know how.

As such, we're opening up this post for suggestions on how to do it otherwise. If you have an idea, please let us know.

First, however, I'm going to explain my (and Ryune's) original reasoning, and then note alternate solutions with their benefits and drawbacks.

blah blah )




Clarification about wtf an Angelii is, how powerful they are, and how to become one. )

This is a discussion post about recent stuff.

First of all, there was clearly a miscommunication re: recent plot, the Western district, and so on.

blah blah regarding that )

stuff about organization as a whole )

Also, if you have any other comments, concerns, or suggestions, bring them up here. As we speak I am debating what to do about the whole "THE METAPLOT IS CONFUSING TO NEW PLAYERS AS IS THE SETTING INFO D: " and I have a solution, but I am waiting for input from my fellow moderators before implementing said solution.

Thank you for your time.

Right uh.

Prowl is, oddly enough, probably one of the most powerful non Angelii Benders in the city. He's been in the game since day 1, and once he figured out that Bending exists, he started spending pretty much every single day practicing it and getting better at it.

The game started February 10. That's uh. About ten months. Spent learning to Bend.

Okay so Teal stop babbling and tell us where you're going with this.

One of the points I've been trying to get across - and failing, apparently - is that 1. anything is possible if you have enough will, and 2. death is cheap here. To put it like Kyle Rayner did in one of the Green Lantern comics...

"Did you know that I can split atoms with this thing? It wouldn't take a lot of energy. Just a lot of effort. The problem would be containing the blast..."

The main difficulty for new Benders is that they don't have quite the power or the skill, even if they have the will. That takes time to build up. And some characters just don't have a lot of will, hence why some people just aren't as good.

Prowl's got experience, skill, power, and will in spades.

He is literally incapable of dying at all if he doesn't want to.

Everyone: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT. B|

Okay okay, not ENTIRELY true. An Angelii? Could easily kill him. Several Angelii could unmake him. A whole bunch of normal people could unmake him (they did it to Cyrus). Isis would make short work of him. But, on his own, and given his experience with the Allspark, and his promise to Sari... if he's in a one on one fight with a non-Angelii, he can't die if he doesn't want to, simply by sheer force of will.

Also: not lying about the "most powerful non-Angelii bender" part. I would even say he might be better than some Angelii.

S-so what I'm wondering is: is there anyone out there who'd be willing to get into a fight with Prowl? He isn't the type to fight, but any of the more psycho people, if you're looking for a tussle, you want to give it a go? It'd basically be to prove a point about Bending.

EVENT THINGER!

OKAY. SO. AS OF MIDNIGHT, ISIS IS GONE FROM THE CITY, AND THE BATTLE IS OVER. You may still continue tagging it as long as you like to resolve threads, but I suggest you work out OOCly what happened so that you at least know. And if you could all tell me in this post what basically happened I'd appreciate it :D

HOWEVER...

Isis, in retaliation, is going to try to destroy your city. First, an explanation, if you care

blah blah, IC explanation )

So what does this mean for you guys? Over the course of the rest of this week, a reality storm of horrific proportions is going to hit this city, which will cause a few of the bigger storms from the past to repeat themselves. These things will start out small, but get much worse as time goes on.

AS SUCH, I am having a sign-up for each day. You will note that each day only has X number of slots, which is to ensure that we do not have a single massive clusterfuck of like, the entire comm being affected at once.

Any or all of the following can happen to your characters, at your discretion. They can happen any time you like after your sign-up day. You'll note that these range from silly to deadly, deadly serious.

the effects )

ON SATURDAY (PROBABLY), THERE WILL BE A NEW REALITY SHIFT, WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN ON THAT DAY.

As always, these events are optional.

SO WAIT RYUU THE CITY IS FALLING INTO CHAOS WHAT THE FUCK HOW DO WE FIX THIS D: D: D:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA )

SOME FINAL NOTES.

- You can now Bend again, so feel free to restore stuff. NOTE, HOWEVER, THAT BENDING IS ACTUALLY MUCH EASIER. Too easy, in fact - you guys are much more likely to accidentally use too much power and overload stuff or get weird effects thanks to the chaosmatter flowing into the city. Play with this, have weird stuff happen.

- Characters who were turned to glass can be restored either at the player's discretion by RANDOM CHAOSMATTER INTERACTIONS, or by people willing them back to normal. Characters who were dead but not PERMADEAD can also come back now.

- Characters who were BRAINWASHED. If you still want to be brainwashed, you still will be; if you're done with that, then Isis' influence leaves you. There will be a post about this soon.

Sign up threads are below thx.

I would make this a poll but my phone can't do polls so.

Tomorrow is actually not a good time for me to start a plot. SO. Players. What would be the best time for YOU. Tell meeee. It doesn't have to be soon, even. I think we all need to decompress from the Game anyway.

So, next week sometime?

Jolta gave me this song.


Come, lonely hunter, chieftain and king
I will fly like the falcon when I go
Bear me my brother under your wing
I will strike and fall like lightning when I go

I will bellow like the thunder drum, invoke the storm of war
A twisting pillar spun of dust and blood up from the prairie floor
I will sweep the foe before me like a gale out on the snow
And the wind will long recount the story, reverence and glory, when I go

Spring, spirit dancer, nimble and thin
I will leap like coyote when I go
Tireless entrancer, lend me your skin
I will run like the gray wolf when I go

I will climb the rise at daybreak, I will kiss the sky at noon
Raise my yearning voice at midnight to my mother in the moon
I will make the lay of long defeat and draw the chorus slow
I'll send this message down the wire and hope that someone wise is listening when I go

And when the sun comes, trumpets from his red house in the east
He will find a standing stone where long I chanted my release
He will send his morning messenger to strike the hammer blow
And I will crumble down uncountable in showers of crimson rubies when I go

Sigh, mournful sister, whisper and turn
I will rattle like dry leaves when I go
Stand in the mist where my fire used to burn
I will camp on the night breeze when I go

And should you glimpse my wandering form out on the borderline
Between death and resurrection and the council of the pines
Do not worry for my comfort, do not sorrow for me so
All your diamond tears will rise up and adorn the sky beside me when I go
