  3. The Oldest Games and Something [Red Team]

    in Quest Archive

    Posted · Edited by Sir Blut

    If the oldest game event doesn't work out, as it probably won't, the prizes for winning that will be added to the quest. The mistake is that for such a tournament type thing, as it would have to be for there to be a winner, there needs to be time before hand for signups and brackets. Last time and this time I announced it last minute.

  4. The Oldest Games and Something [Red Team]

    in Quest Archive

    Posted · Edited by Sir Blut

    The Oldest Game will be played from Day 258 to 259 At the Marble Dale Park, Starting at 3st by default

     

    The Rules are here [spoiler]   The name is deceiving, for this is more than just a game. When all the worlds, and all the planes were but formless mist, this is how Powers claimed their superiority. How can that without a shape, without a form, test their strength against one another? The obvious answer with influence, how we mere mortals are affected by their presence and their promises. How then, before men and monsters, was dominance established? That is how The Oldest Game arose.

         It is a contest of ideas, of dreams, of natures, and of innate power. Blows are never laid, fingers are never curled into fists and steel is never shown. Instead, in that ephemeral twilight realm, ideas are given form, and combatants are always shifting. It is a difficult thing to explain, if you wish to learn, I will show you. Worry not, you risk nothing but your pride... at least the first time. Do not forget though, this is the way the first wars were waged, and idle sparring is saved for those dearly trusted.

         As all things, this game is not without it's rules. One must be challenged, or issue a challenge; the challenge must then be accepted. It is by he giving and acceptance of the challenge that the conflict is given weight, given life. The Challenger strikes first, and the Challenged however chooses where the combat will take place. Strength is not measured from sword-arms and speed, instead from innate oneness and wisdom of the world. Strikes are not born of steel and magery, rather from ones nature. If you find it cryptic, I apologize, but there are few ways to actually give simple words to describe The Oldest Game; to do so risks oversimplification.

         The attacks are given life by a particular diction. "I am the Stag, Elusive and Silent". In response "I am the Hunter, Trap-setting, Stag-Hunting". This is the simplest of forms, a training form really in which one who is not familiar may be made familiar. The forms must begin with what is literal, The stag and the hunter. As combat rages, more abstract concepts may be used. The speed at which the abstract may take form is directly related to the power of the Combatant. To attempt to form beyond your ken, beyond your strength, is frightfully dangerous at best.

         On the topic of combat forms. Strength of one's form is directly proportional to how in tune that form is with the Combatant. This is a difficult thing to explain. If a man is brash, impulsive, and passionate, then his forms should suit. Constraining forms, binding forms, are lacking a oneness with him, and as such are weak and easily broken.

         Victory is simple. One must yield. One may yield actively, declaring his own defeat. One may also yield by the inability to present a form that effectively counters their opponents form, or by the inability to present in a timely manner

    Note: I am not the original creator of this game, I just like to play it and happen to have the "Instructions book" as an item so I wanted to show how to play. [/spoiler]

     

    Copied directly from AmberRune's papers...

      I am not sure if there will be a lot of people willing to play so I am not planning brackets, or the structure of how the games will be played, yet. Last time I tried to do this it failed, see here :http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/15625-the-awake-game-marind-bell-events-and-quests/

       Instead we will figure it out together haha

    Time limit is three minutes to answer your oponent.

      The winner(if this works and there is one) Gets a GC and an additional rareish prize, which will be announced soon.

     

    There is also another quest thingy, anyone interested should pm me to start with the subject RTQ saying they are interested, since I was asked sort of at the last second, I wasn't able to get it coded as I originally planned. Prize to be announced, but there will be something for everyone that completes it. The time limit will be 1 weeks from today to complete.

    Sponsers welcome to post here for both events

  19. Quest: the reasons behind Mur's murder

    in Quest Archive

    Posted · Edited by Sir Blut

    It was colonel mustard in the kitchen with a candlestick

     

    Joking

     

    He did it because Mur is sort of already dead and they wanted to see if they could do the impossible by killing him while he was already dead

    He wanted to prove that Mur is mortal

    He wanted to speak with molquert

    Mur is finally going to stop taking charge of MD (not trying to make it sound like I want that lol)

     

    Who said it was a he, anyways, where's the double standards :p

  24. The Awake Game- Marind Bell Events and Quests

    in Quest Archive

    Posted · Edited by Sir Blut

    List of rewards given out: 1wp for Jadendew in a quest by bfh and given by him, and flowers from me for figuring out the "mb secret" :P

                                             1sc given to bfh for the quest.

                                             1sc given to Assira the Black for her dance performance.

                                              1sc to Panthea for amusing rp.

    There was no interest in serious, official competition for the Oldest Game, therefore no reward for that.

     The awards given by me aren't impressive because they were from my own inventory :P next time I would put more thought into this, spend time getting sponsors for better quests, events, and rewards

  25. MB Related Artworks

    in Marind Bell Citizen Forum

    Posted · Edited by Sir Blut

    I am requesting any MB related artworks, posters, or images that already exist, created by players to be linked here(that has been on the forums, etc), for something personal and to serve as a nice archive where people can view them all in one place if they wish to, rather than searching all over forum topics for them. Thank You :)

      I will link anything I found myself in a reply and encourage stuff to be added over time.
