For the voting-

1. Class specific challenges?

Yes, please!

2. A challenge only for companions?

Yup!

3. Secret missions?

Cool! Definitely yes!

4. A ongoing progress board in the Gearloose Goose?

Yes.

Oooh! Squirrels! Thank you so much! May I have a Morosql please?

And thank you, Caelum and The Greater Force That Controls Caelum, for the Tome. It was a big help to my pet, who is hoping to be a battler.

1. Class specific challenges? No
2. A challenge only for companions? No
3. Secret missions? (These will be retooled a bit, as they didn't solve the problem they were designed to solve, but some folks had fun with them.) Yes
4. A ongoing progress board in the Gearloose Goose? Yes

Our dear Tea_Roll is like the doggie in this gif and I am the cat >>>

And you know what movie I suddenly want to watch, but don't own it MEN IN TIGHTS! I just saw Princess Bride. Now I want to watch that one. sigh

1. Class specific challenges? could be a lot of fun, but tricky if a group does not have said class in it so a tentative yes.
2. A challenge only for companions? Yes
3. Secret missions? (These will be retooled a bit, as they didn't solve the problem they were designed to solve, but some folks had fun with them.) While these were fun, I know they did cause some stress last year so maybe not.
4. A ongoing progress board in the Gearloose Goose? That would be cool, if for nothing else to see how things are going for all the Protectors. :)

Love that lovely little book giver, he's helped me out a few times with both my pet and when I'm running low on sp. :)

As for the sticker, I'd probably rather shove it into a gallery/treasure since I feel it's almost a waste to stick stickers. (both here and in RL xD)

1. Class specific challenges? Sure?
2. A challenge only for companions? Yes
3. Secret missions? (These will be retooled a bit, as they didn't solve the problem they were designed to solve, but some folks had fun with them.) Umm...I had a love/hate with that. But i don't care one way another if they happen or not
4. A ongoing progress board in the Gearloose Goose? Yes

I'm fine with that wants! :D Perfectly fine with her choice. :D And now I want to watch Robin Hood Men in Tights as well. glares at Gerty I have it on VHS...which doesn't help me since I only have a bluray player. So dvd and bluray and streaming are my only option...i wonder if it is on netflix...

I am not sure WHY I suddenly desired to see it, BUT I do cries

Maybe it is a Carey Elwes thing.

That song they sing in the gif you just posted is now stuck in my head. XD

We're manly men...we're men in tiiiights.

1. Class specific challenges? Sounds fun, yes please.

2. A challenge only for companions? No thanks ;3

3. Secret missions? If they are very simple, then yes. lol

4. A ongoing progress board in the Gearloose Goose? Yes pleeeaaase!

1. Class specific challenges? Yea
2. A challenge only for companions? Yae, It was neat to try to figure out things to do with something besides ourselves.
3. Secret missions? (These will be retooled a bit, as they didn't solve the problem they were designed to solve, but some folks had fun with them.) Eh, I could go either way on this one.
4. A ongoing progress board in the Gearloose Goose? Yae

1. Class specific challenges? Yes - provided another class can sub for those of us who don't have all classes.
2. A challenge only for companions? No
3. Secret missions? (These will be retooled a bit, as they didn't solve the problem they were designed to solve, but some folks had fun with them.) Yes

4. Erm, yes?

Cutest forum art EVER!! I couldn't understand it either, but it did happen. However, it was the Roman soldier plot, not Caelum. It was just a lot of confusion!

I did run a team item list with every chapter score, but I might be able to figure out a better way to do this---I do have an idea already that might work....

Not you, silly! Princess Bride!

In WS1, a lot of teams were frustrated by the one member who went MIA without any warning, never answered smails or comments, but showed up to the Prize Gallery right on time. So one of the Captains came up with the Secret Mission idea, so everyone would have to do his or her part. Great idea, but results were: folks that had illnesses or computer problems, or even a vacation were upset by not being able to do them, Captains ended up completing waaaay more than their share, and the person determindedly MIA was still exactly that. Fortunately, WS2 Captains were so fed up they played "bouncer" very effectively. :D

You're absolutely correct about the charming, and that's what we'll do here! Thanks for the reminder, hun!

You can't combine two major classes, sweets! Warrior or Ranger, not both!

And The Votes Are In!

If you said anything ambivalent, your vote was counted as ???. Here are the results:

Class Specific Challenges: Yeas=22 Nays=4 ???=8 Companions Only: Yeas=23 Nays=5 ???=5 Secret Missions: Yeas=19 Nays=6 ???=9 Team Progress Board: Yeas=27 Nays=0 ???=4

Thanks so much to those who voted!

Looking over these results and where the votes came from in terms of modes, here is my current plan:

1. There will be no class specific challenges in Traveler mode. All challenges will be team based.

There will be class specific challenges in adventure mode, and the creative challenge of covering these will be for your team to decide what other class will take them on, and how that will play out using a suitable method. (Example: Your team gets a warrior specific challenge, but there is no way you can bash don't that solid door since you don't have a warrior. Therefore, your mage may have to cast a weakening spell while your alchemist brews a corrosive potion as your vagabond tries lockpicking.)

2. The Companions Only chapter will run at the same time as a regular chapter (with an extended deadline on this one,) BUT it will be for bonus points only and therefore optional. A team member without a companion may charm one, or the team may simply go without and use the companions who are there.

3. Secret Missions will remain, BUT they will come by courier pack, and will contain a cryptic message hinting at what might be required. Any member of your team who wants this mission can grab it, but will then "go undercover" and have to keep it secret as was in play last year.

4. Team Progress Board is a go. (Please bear in mind that this is designed to help everyone keep track and NOT to make anyone "feel bad.")

If anyone asked to a sql of any type, or a sticker and didn't get it, please let me know!

Thanks for the heads up!!

I don't know if I know how to play my character then. She's so entwined with both. She mostly fought with her sword but did lived life skills of a ranger.
so none of the characters are allow even small aspects of the other classes, even if they don't use them? Paddy knows alchemy in a small measure for example, but Die is our alchemist.

lol thank you :cuddles them: And I am ok with the votes and such myself :) The changes all make sense to me :*

Rangers aren't forbidden the use of a sword. A warrior will just likely be better with one (or a mace, axe, or whatever).

is exactly correct. You can use a sword, hun, but a warrior will be more skilled with it. You're a ranger, so a variety of weapons won't be your thing,

Just like . She can whip up a potion, but it won't be nearly as good as what does.

You just can't "double play" a full main class.

I'm glad. Hopefully, this will smooth out a few more bumps. (We'll probably find new ones, but we have to start somewhere. :D)

but that's the problem. My character is a 250 year old drow. She learnt to fight with her people before she was exiled and lived as nomadic ranger for over 100 years. She's both, more ranger than but she always fought with her sword (i'm not a bow and arrow person, I mean she has some but mostly for hunting.)
