  1. Never tried that one. My favourite game recently has been Dominion. It's technically more of a card game then a board game but still very fun. Also I assume that anyone who is willing to spend the time on a Sanderson Elimination game shouldn't have a problem with time restraints on games.
  2. Clink reached the city just ahead of the storm. There was no-one in the streets and all the doors were shut. Seems like everyone knew this was coming he thought. There was no time to think as the storm howled towards him so he began wildly knocking on the nearest door. Luckily for him the door opened almost immediately. In the doorway stood a young women wearing a single glove on her left hand. Strange he thought, why only one glove? The room was illuminated by an odd glow coming from a pile of gems on the table. He was so caught up observing everything from the strange gems to the peculiar dog like bug creature he didn't even notice that the women was yelling at him until she pulled him into the house and slammed the door. The next thing he realized was that he had no idea what she was saying. New planet, new language I almost forgot. As the women continued yelling he began searching through his pack for one of his most valuable belongings. At last he found it, a little yellow fish in a container. He had acquired it from a strange man who always carried around a towel. He took the fish out of the container and slid it into his ear. Suddenly he could understand everything the women was yelling about. The first thing he heard was: "What did you just put in your ear?!" Ah the Babel fish, very useful for understanding languages on planets you'd never been to before. Not so useful for convincing people that you are not crazy psychopath. Well I guess I wouldn't want to give them the wrong idea. EDIT so the post actually has content.
  3. I haven't really entered into the RPing community here (or anywhere before) but I am doing my first Sanderson elimination game now and I'm hoping to start here too. Current Name: Clanky Gender: Male Original (if any) name: N/A Faction: Currently a free agent. Observing to see who is the most powerful. Very open to bribery and flattery. Position: N/A Backstory and History: Some say he was trained by Liam Neeson in both the ways of The Force and of The League of Shadows. Some say he was there at the shattering of Adonalsium. There are rumours that he learned how to play ping-pong from Forrest Gump. But no-one really knows but him. Actually he probably doesn't even know. He tends to be quite forgetful. He would be a master of disguise but can always be recognized by a distinct CLANK sound it makes every time he takes a step.(Name origin!) This is because of the robotic leg he got after losing his to a Velociraptor (or thats what he says anyways). But that might all be made up. He's probably just a guy who spends too much time on the internet. Powers: Wait and see... Weapon(s) of Choice: Lightsaber (With a cross-guard), Very accurately thrown ping-pong balls Likes: Hockey, Reading, Beer, Whiskey and Food Dislikes: People taller than me, People shorter than me.
  4. I have heard that the Dark Alley has the best baking.
  5. Sounds like there's some good options out there. I may have to do some research before I decide. I also may not be opposed to bribery
  6. How do clan fights work?
  7. Hello everyone! I am new to 17th shard and just trying to figure out how everything works. I have been looking at the guilds and clans and I'm not really sure how they work. If someone could explain them to me that would be great! I'm also open for pitches trying to sell your clan once I know more about what they are.
  8. Thanks for compliments and advice. If you have any more I'd be glad to her it. Hopefully I can catch on to the actual game quickly too.
  9. This is my first time doing any sort of online role playing so I assume that it is terrible. Hopefully I will get better as the game goes on. Sorry in advance Clink hated travelling. He was a travelling salesman but not by choice. For some reason whenever he tried to set up a permanent shop somewhere the city guards or a mob of angry villagers would run him out of town. He also hated world hopping. However sometimes it’s the only way to escape. He had had to do it many times recently as a group of strange men kept finding him anywhere he went even on different planets. These men seemed to want something from him and didn’t seem like they wanted to pay for it. He wondered what it could be that they wanted from him so much to follow him planet to planet. Perhaps it was the cache of Atium he’d acquired on Scadrial or the special dye he got on Nalthis. He figured in order to find out it would probably mean letting them catch him so he decided he was better off not knowing. He barely escaped this time and because of it ended up on a planet he’d never been to before. He thought that he really should learn more about this world hopping he was doing. He couldn’t rely on it without knowing how it worked or why he was able to do it. Enough with all the thinking and wondering he thought. I am a salesman in a new economy I have work to do. He observed the planet and saw it lacked any large plants or trees and all the animals had some sort of shell on them. Suddenly all the plants around him started to move and withdraw into shells or the ground. Moving plants and oversized bugs, he was already starting to like this place. Then he saw a giant storm approaching bigger than any he’d seem before. Maybe this place isn’t so ideal he thought. He saw a city in the distance and immediately started towards it. He now had two priorities: Find somewhere to shelter him from the storm. And secondly do what he did first every time he got to a new planet. What any good salesman would do. Find out what they used for money and how to part them from it. EDIT for italics. Thanks for the advice Snoopy
  10. If it's not too late I'll be Clink. The travelling salesman who accidentally found how to world-hop. EDIT: He's still not sure how world hopping works and sometimes he accidentally world-hops when he sneezes.
