BM General Discussion / Re: Annual Check-In
« on: December 06, 2017, 04:19:15 PM »Perth, want to go 50/50 on this? I need someone who can speak proper Engrish so Masalu doesn't scare off all the fancy-schmancy high-borns.
Yes, possibly. Let's see where things go! Kemen is highbrow (or thinks he is) and thinks a lot of himself/his family so it could work.
Auru'in & Perth's Highborn Union Society?
Something like this. Highbrow, exclusive and important sounding. One part social club, one part politicking, one part courting/marriage. Hosting big, fancy, important balls could be a cool way to bring nobles from around the continent together to schmooz.

« on: December 06, 2017, 06:50:09 AM »Turn it into a high-society ritual for the young and upcoming. Charge a wicked fee/gain favors in exchange for helping unmarried nobles meet their match by actually analyzing personality data given by said prospects. Just compile a simple database of said profiles and use the search function to sift through same-similar profiles, or/and whatever said prospect claim to desire.
If said match is sponsored by a "higher" party, we can charge extra to their parents/guardians/leaders/priests/whatever to streamline the process by eliminating undesireables as per their dictation - a sort of compromise between what the prospect wants and what their hosts desire. Typical medieval matchmaking. Maybe a fee to provide a particular number of prospects direct to either bride/groom or said marital tyrants, or an under-the-table fee to completely bypass certain criteria as a compromise more suitable for the bride/groom / hosts.
The options are limitless, and if properly applied, would not violate SMA. All we'd be doing is compiling data, asking a few questions, and presenting prospects to suitors.
Of course, if you want us to actually arbitrate the process rather than just do your homework for you, we charge extra for that too.
Ps, we get dibs on feast/drinks. Marriages make for great networking opportunities. Hello, future clientele! Nice bouquet you caught there... How much is it worth it to make your dreams come true?
It's brilliant. Not sure how this hasn't been done before in this game. Maybe something similar has? Seems particularly perfect for Dwilight, too.
I don't think you'd even have to do so much actual match-making work, so much as pretend you are. The actual matches would be more about status/politics, after all. But if the organization gained enough reputation it could become the way to be presented as a suitor/debutante for anyone who is anyone, at least!
Could be fun, especially for the right characters.

« on: December 06, 2017, 04:11:01 AM »...Now, are we crazy enough to actually create this guild? Should I? No point to it, though, I mean... Screw it, why not emulate a medieval fantasy dating service? Its always a pain to find someone you'd actually enjoy marrying/courting in-game. This might make for some... Interesting... Results. Possibly game-changing, what with the politics/interactions of nobles who wouldn't typically have contact with one another.
Or, we could go the sheer hilarity route and have all guild communication be assumed to be anonymous, and it effectively be a place for people to step out of their proverbial armor and be... Whatever. Silly. Crazy. Apolitical. Saucy. What-have-you.
Either way, this actually sounds pretty entertaining.
Not on Dwilight, please. It’s hard enough maintaining SMA.
Agreed. Funny as it is.
Although, if you put a lot of effort into it, you could keep it SMA by making it a very serious service/organization geared toward debuting young and important noblemen/women for marriage prospects? It could involve whole courting processes, dowries, the usual political implications/intrigue, etc.

« on: December 05, 2017, 06:28:47 PM »Terran/Phantaria, good times. Invading it especially, would have been really cool to see how all that drama would have played out had the west not been closed.
Some of my best times in BM. The old Maroccidens was a great place/community/atmosphere.
I am humbled by your memory. It was an honor to serve, and I sorely apologize for disappearing as I did. Though the real world takes precedent, it seems neither of us could rebuke the siren call of BM and found our way back through the mists of time.
I am extremely glad to have you back! If Masalu wins the election for Qubel in D'hara-DW, or you happen to join BT-Obia'Syela (or EC, once plans proceed a bit), I would be profoundly honored to return the favor. To think, my old mentor as a knight of my banner!
You were a damn fine mentor, alongside JeVondair. The two of you are the reason both my victorious exploits and hilarious defeats were possible.
Welcome home, Kale.
Oh, I quit the game not to long after the Phantaria experiment. So no worries! Glad you made it back to BM. I hope my try this time around will stick for a while.
I'm going to stick with just 1 charcter on DWI for a little bit so I can concentrate and get myself back into things. My next character is definitely going to EC/Obia'Syela though. Sounds very interesting from what I've heard!

« on: December 05, 2017, 02:24:36 AM »Huh, your name seems eerily familiar... Like I'm going to head-desk-palm-face once it clicks in mind. When did you last play in Terran, according to your family wiki? Curiously, we have both marshaled the Phantarian Pride. (once upon a time)
Wait. Kale... Perth? Were you the Marshal /General of Terran around 2012/2013?
Can't remember the surname, but I swear that Kale was the name of the guy who first gave me a chance to shine in BattleMaster; way back circa 2011-2012 when a nobody called Alura Aurea became the Phantarian Pride/Terran's vice-marshal, marshal, and then ruler. Thanks to him/you(?), I learned the ropes through Alura and ended up falling in love with this game.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I swear I think I've got the right guy?
That is indeed the same Kale! Kale Perth helped build the old Maroccidens... Melodia, then Terran, and was the Duke who created Phantaria after the Terran republic's collapse/Hireshmont II's theocratic power grab.
I remember you/Alura, indeed! Alura was Kale's right hand for a long time! One his closest allies/supporters.

Feature Requests / Re: Adding 'Guild Titles' to title list outside of guild msg groups
« on: December 04, 2017, 07:00:12 PM »Actually, upon reflection, it sounds like the real solution here would be to display religion titles and to give realms more control over title customisation/awarding of honourary titles.
The real nugget here is that religions need a complete overhaul anyways...

Ahhhh... did you all diverge into an IC/OOC argument just to satisfy some of my old nostalgia? So nice of you.
Sounds like there are some fun things going on on both BT and DWI. Might try to plop down somewhere in there!

« on: December 04, 2017, 03:14:15 AM »I don't know. As always, there are more bad realms than good ones.
Unfortunately it's hard to really find the good ones when out of touch with a continent, even the terrible realms often have people preaching for them.
Indeed, I made a character last year on EC in an attempt to kind of get back in, but that didn't last long, I guess.
Open to suggestions for (perhaps the few) good places to go? I'm so out of the loop Atamara and Western Dwilight were still around last time I really played.
Dwilight was always my favorite, though.

Just seems like about once a year now BM pops in my head and I get a nostalgic desire to come back. I think I tried a bout a year ago, but didn't last. I'd like to maybe try again, but was curious about those who are stil around's opinions on the game.
And thanks! You as well, Lap.

Hello,
Old player peering back in to the community in what seems like my annual "check-in" with BM.
I played the game from about 2007-2013. What's the state of the game these days? It sure was great back in the day.

Sounds like maybe Swordfell isn't the best realm to play in ESA, then?
