Not that this is not -immensely- enjoyable to read.

Well, in that case - GUARDIANS-R-BTR... LORE... COSMIC... WARRIORS-BOO.

You're welcome.

So is anyone actually going to say anything new rather than endlessly repeating the same arguments?

Didn't read the thread, but when it came out I was surprised/amused that just hours after the Ascension event, a number of players have not only moved on but are making demands for new things. Things must move slowly here in Rael-land.

Well, now we're at zero people waiting for guardians. tongue.gif

I know of three, and I haven't been looking. I find most of the arguments on both sides to be silly and founded on baseless assumptions about how the administrators do things. We'll have a referendum, and then we'll know.

Who are they? I haven't seen them around. (at least not in a way that I noticed).

I know Doman and Ayden are waiting for the guardians. As far as non citizens, Finnley is planning on joining them... that's off the top of my head. There's a lot of interest in them, but it's hard to judge whether interest will translate into people transplanting over.

I knew about the first two. I actually mentioned that many of the people who want to join guardians are already in the city and in a guild, those were two of the ones I thought about. The question was how many rogues are sitting in the city and waiting for the guilds to open. I can count four warriors, one wiccan, and one bard.
Ileein2010-02-16 21:21:50
I'm conflicted. I really like the guardian RP, and the Continuum is awesome in ways I can hardly comprehend, but Ileein is an Aeromancer and has demonstrated this amply.

I'll probably just start an alt in the Halliguardians just to see what things are like, then hop back when I've had my fill. sad.gif

Not to sound incredibly biased due to my wish to see Guardians first, but wouldn't releasing them logically be healthy for fleshing out the direction and roleplay of each city as related to their planar territory? I feel like the original two Cosmic planes play a very heavy part in influencing the types of players, actions, and ideals that Magnagora and Celest both tend to have/do/support. I think that a guild that draws power from these planes and also serves to keep them safe would have a great influence on both cities. Not to mention that part of the security power provided by the Warrior guilds has been temporarily hired out to us via mercenary NPCs, so it's not like picking said guild would have that side of the benefit either.

Oh, also.. while Mages and Guardians respectively attract the same 'sort' of crowd according to some people, I would say that there are also people in Guardian guilds waiting for respective new guilds to open for THEIR archetype. Warriors are not the only class capable of leaving a guild to join another of the same archetype, obviously.

Right, I know that my earlier comments might have seemed to be not serious, but now that I have cleared this with Est I must take a bit more serious tone. I discussed the issue here and she agreed with me that this would be a good opportunity to show the preliminary design of the Opera skillset and ask for first thoughts and feedback. Please keep in mind that this is still a rough design and subject to change.

CODE
AB OPERA

Composition        You may compose songs expressing your own creativity.
Duetto             Tie your song together with another singer.
LargoAlFactotum    Make your enraptured audience make way for you.
LaDonnaEMobile     A well sung aria may inspire very mixed feelings.  
Recitativo         Tie arias together with a recitative.
FlowerDuet         Convince your audience to surrender to the flow.
ViaRestiServita    Beautiful words can hide the most pointed insults.
ELucevanLeStele    A remembrance of life, just moments before death.
LaVendetta         Declare your vendetta like it was never heard before.
Cavatina           Not all songs are accompanied by great music.
OmbraMaiFu         What sustenance a simple cure can give.
Terzetto           Tie your song together with two other singers.
AhChiMiDiceMai     Nothing compares to the wrath of a slighted woman.
Quintetto          Tie your song together with three other singers.
NessunDorma        The knowledge of a name brings many opportunities.
ApritoPresteAprito Time is pressing, we need to act now!
PapagenoPapagena   The offspring of songs are many.
CosaVeggo          A true virtuoso may convince anyone of their feeble health.
DEssereConLaTesta  An aria so convoluted that it causes increasing confusion.
VoiCheSapete       The eternal power of love shines forth from this aria.
Crescendo          A momentary crescendo may often captivate a larger audience.
VaPensiero         A single thought can sometimes sway whole nations.
Habanera           Mutual love can sometimes be a thing to be feared.
Overture           An impressive overture may transfix certain witnesses.
Finale             The only way to end a virtuoso performance.


Feedback is most welcome!

I kind of feel that this should be broken off into a new thread, but I'm going to leave it here for now.

Please keep your posts constructive, though. We're working very hard on this.

Honestly, an Opera Bard would not be a bad idea.

Elostian, we already knew you're cultured, you didn't have to prove it to us in Italian!

(No, seriously, that looks awesome.)
