This Forum / Re: Moderators Topic
« on: May 11, 2011, 06:40:41 PM »Also, I think the mods for a forum get an e-mail notification when a post on one of their forums has a post reported.
I can confirm that this is indeed correct. ^_^

~ First Date with Axyock ~
Roleplay from Ki Hwang (13 hours, 27 minutes ago)
Message sent to all allies in the region Nazamroth (30 recipients)
“My Lord, I have managed to arrange the camel viewing you desired,” announced Tod, his voice reverberating through the tent.
“Ah! This is most excellent news Tod. Wonderful news indeed! When must we leave?” Ki questioned, jumping wildly from his seat at the elating news, whilst managing to project his voice at a volume which made Tod visibly wince.
“Within the hour my Lord, should I saddle the horses?”
“Aye of course! Do not tarry Tod, for I can hardly contain my joy at the thought of meeting such a magnificent creature.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ki could not stop himself skipping gleefully towards a young man who awaited them at the entrance of a desert warrior encampment. He had often seen camels from afar riding into the fray of battle, and had thought them certainly a force to be reckoned with. He had not, however, seen one up close, and his stomach lurched with eager anticipation at the thought.
“Greetings S-s-s-sire”, stuttered the man as he bowed awkwardly.
Ki frowned slightly, before addressing the man, “Sire should do just fine boy, just one ‘s’ you see. Now, where may be the camels?”
“C-come with me S-sire.”
Ki and Tod were led through the encampment, stepping lightly to avoid the swamp of people who occupied the site. It was not long before they were met by an open stable. There, Ki stood in awe of the beast which stood regally nearby, loosely tethered to some wooden construction. Several men were tirelessly grooming the creature, before dispersing quickly as Ki approached.
“May I touch her?” Ki softly asked, his hand limp at his side.
“You m-may do as you wa-wa-wish Sire, I’m sure Axyoch w-will oblige you.”
Ki nodded, extended his hand towards Axyoch and touched her firmly on the nose. She reared back at the much too swift contact, and proceeded to project a greenish substance onto the unsuspecting Taran.
“Aha! You see that Tod, fine Axyock has endeavoured to spit upon me. A sign of affection I should think.”
“S-s-s-sire I s-s-s-should…”
“Yes boy, come on.” Ki interrupted.
The man tried again, “you are m-mis-mistaken S-sire. Camels r-rarely spit, it is r-r-rather, w-well, vomit.”
Ki’s widened upon hearing this fact eventually expressed. He let out an exasperated sigh in an attempt to tune out the stifled snickers from Tod and many of the other surrounding men, held his head high, and said, “ah…well… I see, that would certainly explain the somewhat distasteful smell then. Thank you, it was most intriguing to meet Axyock here, I never knew camels were so… versatile in the use of what they consume. Judging by the colour, this is but a mixture of namely grass, as well as some internal bodily fluids and whatnot.”
"Indeed S-sire, I believe s-so."
Perhaps Ki's only remorse was how the ghastly colour of dear Axyock's regurgitation managed to cover his face glowing hot red underneath.

BM General Discussion / Re: Medals what whatnot
« on: April 18, 2011, 12:03:11 PM »Yes I am sure, speaking from personal experience.
Hmmm that's strange. I've got 3 medals and have donated, but no medal options as of yet. Ahh well.

« on: April 18, 2011, 11:41:29 AM »I like medals the way they are now (I would like two more of them but that is beside the point). So I would naturally be on your side in this one... but just so that all the cards are on the table I would like to point out that you can give away medals if you donate to the game even if you haven't received any.
Are you sure? I've donated, but haven't yet had the option to give any out.

« on: April 15, 2011, 03:37:25 PM »You also were lucky enough to pick the right realms. I was lord in Enweil almost as soon as I joined, and almost as soon on the Council. It was greatly thanks to timing.
You could have a completely different experience of a realm if you arrive there at one time or, say, 4 months later.
Yep, I would put it more down to timing rather than the realm. However, some realms definitely have much more fierce competition for positions than others. Sometimes I feel that Tara is actually pleased to have players active enough to send messages and ask for any open positions. I'm surprised I got one in Morek to be frankly honest, but I guess I am just that amazing.

BM General Discussion / Re: Family Ties
« on: April 14, 2011, 10:17:23 AM »It is tough to balance, isn't it? The family-centric medieval view that wants inheritance, nepotism, family loyalty, etc. to be a strong influence, yet the need to keep the game friendly for newer players. It's a very tough balance. As much as I think that game-mechanics-supported inheritance could be interesting, I think it would be a very negative influence on the game. Tying power up into an even smaller group than it is now would not be good for the game.
As a fairly new player (joined at the end of January 2011) I would say that this game is friendly for newer players. My two initial characters both have Lordships in their respective realms, and one is even a Vice-Marshal. However, I suppose I can only vouch for Morek and Tara on this.

A recommendations probably covers the cost. Its one step before becoming a true noble!
No harm in trying to haggle thought. 50 gold is, after all, a penance to any noble and could go a long way in Leia's fight against the evil Zimbats.

No price offered. Do the Beamers want Leia to haggle or something?
Yep haggle and my post before the edit was a lie sorry Artemesia.

Yay? So 40% of Morek consists of fanatics and/or manipulable idiots?
Allison despises Bowie and vice versa so, well, I don't see him running off to join Entei (woah it actually is
) anytime soon.

You can join the army, get married, go to college or university, get a job (with reduced minimum wage) or sign-on as unemployed (at a reduced rate of benefit)
University isn't an option after leaving education at 16 unless you mean doing an open university course? :p
