Hello one and all. This is a place for us to talk. I highly recommend subscribing to this thread (click the checkmark at the top under the nav bar). That way we don't have to ping every post, you'll automatically get a notification when there is new reading available. :D
We need to figure out our team name, who is captain, and what roles we're playing. We need to develop/refine our characters as well.
Our team name shall be forever remembered as: Midnight Dancers Our illustrious captain is drumroll.....JessV! :D Our second-in-command (lieutenant) is Searchname
Warrior - Hamda Mage - Ire Ranger - Kaiidth Bard - Searchname Alchemist - JessV Vagabond - Raggydoll
classes
<p>A) Warriors--for those who want to open locked doors by kicking them in and the like. Lots of physical strength here, and not easily frightened. They may have a few spells handy, but nothing heavy duty. Besides, nothing tops a big. shiny sword. Might is right, tyvm. Through the portal, adds:
Privateer--Just don&;t call them pirates! Okay, they are if you need that airship grabbed, but they can do firearms, rapiers, cannons, and just throw a knockout punch if anyone gets unreasonable. Got your back!
B) Magic Users--Got a spell for that? These folks do, and they come in all sorts of specialties. They are handy at making things a lot easier and conjuring up needful items. Fire, Ice, or Alohomora? Why, yes, indeed! Through the portal adds:
Technomancer--When your fireball fizzles, surely you can enchant a machine to do it for you. Or divert the energy in those coils into lightning, greased or not. Gimme that sonic whip!
C) Rangers--Even the trees love this character! Critters will lick their wounds clean and plants will bind them with sap. They&;re graceful and light footed as well, and know a bunch about nature. They&;re also hot with arrows. Through the portal, adds:
Aeronaut--Airship is no good if someone can&;t fly it through anything, get you where you need to go with expert navigation, and doesn&;t need a compass if there are stars. No, not the ones from the punch your Privateer landed, real ones. Oh, and they&;re great with steamcars and trains, too. First star to the right.....
D)Bards--How charming are these characters? Very, and handy at getting folks to cooperate. They can usually sing or play, and they&;re great storytellers. Okay, so they can also sneak around in shadows and pick locks, but who&;s perfect? Through the portal, adds
Troubadour--The bard on steroids: lots of social grace, the etiquette needed to navigate aristocratic gatherings, waltz in ballrooms,sing torch songs in a bistro, and generally charm the pants off of anyone--perhaps, literally---you never know...
E) Alchemist--Need healing? Got a heavy puzzle to solve or a formula to make? Lost in a maze without a map? Here are your folks. No challenge too great. They truly are legends in their own minds, and sometimes everyone else&;s. Through the portal adds:
Professor--Excellent in Chemistry, Vehicle Construction, History and Research. Not too fond of battle, but can blow out a door in that titanium wall. Ka--boom!
F)Vagabond-sort of a Jack/Jill of all trades. Within the realm of the Squirrel, not much technical expertise comes with this, but it does have quite a MacGyver factor. If you don&;t know who MacGyver is--well--you&;re waaaayy young. Call your Mom before you leave. She worries. Through the portal, adds:
Polymath--Yep, just like the scientific definition. Knows something about everything, but isn&;t an expert in anything. Does come equipped with a Sonic Screwdriver, though. If you don&;t know what that means, ask one of the many Doctor Who fans playing. (Also has a rather special item if the team completes all previews. )
Do we have a theme or like colors to use or is it gonna be like anything ? pinging both since im not sure sho's in charge xD
This is a completely new team, and nothing has been decided yet. I think it would be best if we all gave a little bio to introduce ourselves (and our characters if developed).
I'm Jess, a 38-year-old married Nebraskan. I work as a temp in an accounting firm, so life is about to get very hectic. I am not up to taking on captain duties (nor do I know what that even entails). This is my first WS adventure. I am an aspiring opera diva. I am a Subeta convert. It's much nicer here. I am trying to come to terms with closing my 9 year account on Neopets. I am not terribly fluid with biographical information. XD I am a decent writer, but have very little RP experience. I may need to take a background seat for the first bit if we have more experienced players in our team. Once I learn the ropes, I'm up for a leadership position that doesn't require hours of daily attention. Anything else you'd like to know about me, please post or smail me. Expect friend requests from me soon.
this is a new team and we are open to all suggestions ^^
additional name suggestions from Ire
Trinity [insert#ofmembers] Maidens of the Night Pyrite Princes(ses) Breaking Eternity
as for who is in charge, usually one member is picked as a team captian, her/his role is to convey the team's collective efforts to Greenrowan during the event so we don't end up spamming her
Requriements for the captain :-
also a second in charge is picked. because we are human the captain might get busy with RL and miss parts of the event, in that case correspondence with green is maintained via the 2nd in charge.
INTRO!
I'm Hamda, that is actually my real name ^^ I attended the first WS event and found it fun, time consuming sometimes but fun. there is a little bit there for everyone so if there is something you are personally not good at (like complex math problems) don't worry your team will cover you, if you are good at something like writing for example then it's your time to shine.
my strong bits are puzzles and numbers. my weaknesses is word play, English is my second language... well third actually so I tend to be literal at times and not understand some cultural references and phrases.
if someone would like to step forward as team captian now it would great, personally I prefer working in the shadows hides like a cartoon ninja
my fav. colours are white, blue and sometimes purple. also depending on the name we pick I am willing to make us a little chibi mascot ^.^
I retract my previous statement and will take on captain duties if you all want me to. Forgot that the event doesn't start until summer, and I should have more free time at that point. If someone more seasoned would prefer to be captain, that's fine too. Whatever is best for the team.
Lol I like the purple one XD HI! All right intro time: I'm a part time hermit, mom, clerk and trained bonafied archaeologist (no lie). I also like to use power tools, carve, sculpt, doodle, embroider, and just about anything else I can think of when I think of it. Not good at any of them but that is ok.
I'm often forgetful and tend to be a bit silly around new people, please bare with me, I promise I am not nearly as insane as I come across. Most of the time. shifty eyes
I'm an old time role player, cut my teeth in the IRC channels and while my ability to turn a phrase might not be everyone's ideal, I was ok at it I think. I too played during the first WS event.
I'll be a captain or second if no one else wants it, but I am REALLY hoping someone else wants it. You want the power jedi mind trick This is the power you are searching for.
I really like purple. And kitties. And flowers. But not at the same time because that is weird. Well, purple flowers are good, but you know what I mean.
I'm good with puzzles (but not as fast as Hamda!) and word play, I suck at math but if I take my time I can generally get there. I have a near inability to take anything seriously and will try to toss in bad jokes whenever things get stoic or tense.
Suggestions: With the new private board things, we could make one of those can't we? And a ping group or whatever to go along with it once we get our name down :)
As for names, of the suggested thus far, I like: Pretty in Purple (again, purple fixation) and I sort of liked parts of others- I love the word Pyrite and the word Theives too. Old Pyrite Pirates, or Pyrite Force Five... Pyrite Plunder muahahah. Stuck on that word. I will generally go with the consensus on names since I am not great at naming things and I really don't much care what we're called, so long as we're not late for dinner :D
My character: I will probably bring a scruffy fellow, late 30s or early 40s, affable but careless, tinkerer sort. Though it might be fun to play a stoic, honorable, uptight warrior for a change too, depends on what roles everyone else wants, I generally just take whatever is left over. Thus far, all I know is it will be a he and he will have a raggedy cat along.
Purple Pyrite Pillagers? hehehehehe
Hello, I'm Jennifer, and any variation of that or just Ire will do. Nice to meet everyone!
I'm a twenty year-old college student. Like JessV, this is my first WS adventure... as such, I can't gauge my strengths just yet, but I'll try my best regardless. I've RP'd only once or twice 3-4 years back (and not very much), so I'm looking forward to WS3 since this is the perfect opportunity :)
Nice to meet you both ^.^ We're way away but since you guys are new to the thing, I suggest you think about what character you want to present. It can be anything- from fantasy to sci fi to normal, male female or other, human or not human as you please. Eventually we'll pick roles: Wizard, alchemist, warrior, that sort of thing so if you start with what you feel like you want to do that sometimes helps in creation:) and I am serious, Jess, if you want it, it is allll yours lol. You gotta basically get things organized and be able to present GR the segments in time, keep us on track sort of thing. If you're good at organizing people and getting them to keep a deadline I for one am more than willing to drop it right in your lap. You made the board after all ^.^
tag you're it captain!
once we settle on a name you'll have to create a ping group using the name!
I'd like to nominate as second in command. as mentioned I'm more of a behind the scene type of person. sneaks around!
and as a side note... please decide on the name so I can work on the mascot. I got inspired by midnight dancer and made her just now ^^;
p.s.
any prones around? if not her trousers will be see through XD

hi! it's nice to meet you.
do you have any idea regarding the character you want to create for the event?
She is cute XD and I can be second, that's cool. What's a prone?
prone is a typo for
http://mentalfloss.com/sites/default/files/styles/article_640x430/public/162246965.jpg">
rofl I get it now XD It takes me a little while, I am old remember I thought it was net speak for something, I am always missing the next Internet phrase I like midnight too :)
puts on captain hat :D
I am all about delegation, meeting deadlines and encouraging reminder posts. I also love feedback. Please let me know if there's anything I can improve upon.
Hamda, that's a great start if we go with Midnight Dancer. I think the word you wanted was prude. I am, a bit. See-through legs are ok, but I'd rather not have her private parts showing. XC
rofl I did not even think of prude either XD See that? You are captain material. Prolly best to keep it PG 13 so beta doesn't hemorrhage anyway cough. MD are cool initials :) Much better than like Purple Midnight Squadron. cough. There is a reason I leave naming things to others
But likely mildly inappropriate XD I told you I had issues keeping serious. I say we wait to hear from and on names and then just do the vote thing, you think? Get a bunch, do a vote, narrow it down, all democratic like
Sounds like a plan
your "issues" mean that we'll get along quite well :D
I do have a character in mind, actually! ..That is, if I'm allowed to base it off of one of my Skyrim characters. She's a twenty-something magic-based human that served as a companion to the thief I played. Isn't much for words (though she's not the completely silent type - she just doesn't initiate conversation unless necessary). I could definitely change her to fit to the team if it's required!
As for the name, I like both Honor Among Thieves and Midnight Dancer :)
Edit: Ahh the Midnight Dancer mascot is adorable!
Jen you are so bad XD
worse still because I'm having that right now. living on red bull and ice cream >.<
she can wear panties!!!!
but alright I'll behave! my vote will go to MD as well. it'll make the ping group name easy to remember. lets just wait for Ire's and Kaiidth's input as well.
