Shireroth

I did not make my decision without consideration, Hypatia. The decision wsa a hard one to make, but it is made.

I got a few applications for the Kaisership, far less than I was expecting to, actually--apparently people like me on the Throne. Imagine that.

Eventually it came down to two applications, Bill's and Erik's.

Now there's a decision. Bill's talked of cleanup of the old stuff and working in of new ...

Considering the economy hasn't even started yet, I wouldn't worry. Note how everyone's exempt for the first two weeks after the economy begins.

Mogbeth is Scott's Shirithian parody of "The Scottish Play," yes. It can be found here.

This is what I've got so far:

Gift of Gab
Jack of all Trades
Eagle's Eyes
Colorblind
Blind
Deaf
Mute
Handy
Imposing
Spirit Tongue
Technological Adept
Scientific Adept
Magical Adept
Willful
Paranoia
Athlete
Addict
Cursed Item
Inheritance
Berserker
Fugue
Night Vision
Direction ...

Blessings and Banes are attributes your character takes upon character creation that further define your character beyond the stats. Things like "Blind" or "Deaf" are Banes, while stuff like "Direction Sense" or "Jack-of-all-Trades" are Blessings.

More on this after I brainstorm.

I'm thinking something definitive... I personally like the title "Imperial." Then we can call it the Imperial System, etc.

And a preliminary list of skills.

Note how some of these are a bit general (or can be used in multiple applications). When one reaches a score of 50 or more, take a specialty. Basically, with a specialty, one increases their percentile with any action reasonably involving that skill by ten points ...

Further thought:

If you're based upon a percentile, then in order to succeed at a skill, one must roll under the percentile.

Now, including the method of increase outlined above, let us assume the following:

By rolling doubles (11, 22, 33, 44, etc.) on a succeeding roll, one has a chance of ...

"Well, Duke-in-Proxy Shyriath, I understand after our last encounter, you and your Knights have a desire to learn the magics of my people.

"Understand that, in order to use the magic, you must comprehend the way of the spirits." Shyriath nodded, so Fax continued: "All things have spirits: people ...

If Greg doesn't do it tonight, I'll do it.

Looks good.

I haven't come up with a list of skills as of yet, but I want to do something similar to the following:

1. Each skill is based off a percentile, much like intelligence testing is done. Untrained people probably fall into the 10-15th percentile, while trained ones are at 50th. Better than 95th ...

Backgrounds are one of two things: they are your job prior to the start of the game, or they are the job your parents had that you grew up around. These modify a number of Skills (and in some cases, Personal Attributes), but the finer points haven't been determined yet.

Statuses have a more ...

These are what are commonly referred to as "stats" in a variety of games. Dungeons and Dragons uses six (Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma). White Wolf uses nine (Strength, Dexterity, Stamina, Intelligence, Perception, Wits, Appearance, Manipulation, and Composure ...

I've had it in my head for some time now to make an RPG system, and I've also had the idea in my head for some time to integrate the goings-on of Shireroth into it.

Therefore, I've created this forum to discuss and build a gaming system.

I've got a few ideas I'm going to lay down, and see what ...

That mod got broken by the subfora mod, unfortunately. We're working on it.

I'm with Hatter. Make the yellow in the back the same color as the moon.

Ooh, and when you're done, upload the flag to the Wiki and categorize it with [[category:Flags]]

I am!

//raises eyebrow

Why rush when we can do it carefully?

You know what? Delphi, if you can get it done before February 2nd, we'll go with your plan. Else, we'll go with paying the current site.

At this point in time, I think that it's probably a better idea to ally with a large number of smaller nations and shepherd them, instead of group with another large nation. I mean, do you really want the entirety of Micras calling us and the GC the OBC?

Go ahead, Erik.

For now, let's keep the old site. We can always do something with the dual space, and it'll give us an opportunity to move things to the other (free) server when it's less hectic and more worked out.

The transfer will happen; however, paying the site now will allow us to do the ...

Not exactly. We set up the Microwiki, we created the MAS...things like that. The Commonwealth has done nothing of the sort.

Moose is putting out books. Can we compile myths, legends, and other written works of Shireroth into one tome?

Alright, who wants to do an audio rendition of Mogbeth?

Dibs on Mog.

I've started the process of making the Imperial Decrees on the Wiki move from one gigantic page to many many pages. One for each Decree, actually.

You can see one here. Imperial Decree 1

It's using three templates: {{Decreebox*-*}}, {{Decree|*|*|*|*}}, and {{movebox|*|*|*|*}}

Let me explain ...

I'm down with that, as long as the password changingness won't log me out if I'm currently browsing.

Krasiny Yastreb is now Count of Lower Lunaris. Should Adanufgail return, issues shall be handled at that point.

By My Hand,

Kaiseress Semisa, the Resurrector: First of the Name

I thought so too. But alas. We move forward.
