    I'm sorry Dave Mara, I'm afraid I can't do that. Any attempts to involve the crowd will be rebuffed. The helmet soared through the air, headed for the front row of the crowd. Isaac the Intern, whose sole job was to prevent this kind of thing, intercepted it with his tennis racket. With a mighty swack, he spiked the helmet to the ground. It landed among some boulders, about fifty meters away from the Atticus and Mara. "Sorry for the set-back, luv," he said. He then went back to eating his double bagel.

    Anyone got any name suggestions for this thread? E2 Discussion wasn't doing it for some people.

    Note: I interpret this as meaning quadruple.

    Ark, please avoid dictating another character's actions. I'll let you off with a warning this time, but in future, watch how you word your sentences please. 'To flip him on his back' would be preferred. CORRECTION: Itiah, assume Ark meant 'line of revocation'. And remember that lines of vigor (and presumably revocation) refract. Given the distance that Mara and Ambrosia are from each other, and the uneven ground of varying substances, it's a very difficult shot to make. (Thanks for catching that @BitBitio!)

    Suddenly, a voice began to boom from a concealed loudspeaker. The crowd hung on the man's every word. "Ladies and gentlemen! Gals and guys! Welcome to the Canton of Combat's two versus two duel! It's a battle between two pairs of people! Shout-out to our sponsor, the Tautology Club! Let's get this party staaaaaaaaarteeeeeeeed! Go!" The stadium spotlights highlighted the competitors. It was showtime.

    Uh oh. You just activated my trap card. It's not such a big deal in the Introduce Yourself! threads, but in future please avoid double posting. You can multi-quote, or edit posts to add new information if needed. Welcome to the Shard!

    Characters are a reflection of the RPer. They evolve to have unique styles and traits. That's a lot to take on. The greatest value MoHaam's character has is its history. I could foresee someone wanting to adopt the character to avoid the hassle of having to establish themselves in a situation eg. use him to do Canton business. I find it unlikely that someone will adopt him on a full time basis, because it's more convenient to make your own character. But I will pilot this program by editing the Character OP to advertise the opportunity (next time I’m on desktop). If this program generates interest I’ll do further edits to accommodate the need.

    I haven't read White Sand (I have the prose downloaded, but it's low on my To Read list) but I trust that Mac knows what he's talking about. The same issue applies to the Dor, we shouldn't be able to use Aons this far from Elantris. In practice, we've avoided acknowledging these restrictions. Even our stormlight consumption is higher than should be possible to sustain this far from Roshar. I like the Alleystorm as an explanation for this. I'm a fan of following the rules of a magic system as closely as is possible without restricting the flow of the RP too much. It provides a fair playing field, prevents confusion, avoids OP actions etc. And it follows the 'build on what you've got before adding new stuff' rule. But some systems' biggest restriction, the thing that makes them interesting, is geographically or resource connected. Case study: aluminum. In the books, Scadrial has developed some technologies at a different rate than Earth did. This was because their magic made it too easy to get by without innovating. Their weakness is this stunted development. But when Earth is thrown into the mix, some resources become easy to obtain. Aluminum, for example. This changes the dynamic, making it so Alleyverse interactions are different from one you'd find in the cosmere. That's what gives this RP so much potential. I'd caution us not to abuse this potential, but I think it ought to be explored. Back to the sand mastery thing. We've made the exception for the aons, it seems only fair to do the same for sand mastery. I too dislike too much handwavium, so I'd recommend inventing am explanation that means the rules aren't broken, just expanded on. Even if that explanation is just the presence of a Shard in the Alleyverse, or the influence of the worldspike. So long as we come to some concensus on it. Spitballing here, we could alter the properties of Alleyverse sand. Make it so some sand on the Alleyplanet doesn't have the same restrictions as sand on Taldain. I'm not sure how the mechanics of that would work though. Those are my thoughts on the topic. This is certainly a conversation worth having, so I'm pleased to see the fruitful discourse that's happening.

    You might want to check out this topic, it has some good suggestions. (For the record, I use London Calling by The Clash.)

    Then they realized that they were stuck in a time loop and had to work together to get out.

    ^ What he said! Sorry, I'm not feeling very poetic at the moment.

    Klasten put away is wollaping stick. "That sounds like fun!" he said. Klasten followed.
  24. Archer
    I may have gotten overexcited about all this. I think finishing up sideplots first is a good idea.

    Klasten pulled a Tia card from his pocket, activated it, then disappeared.
