Thanks for the welcome, Ein. I hope to finally RP someone whos more challenging than the guys at the club. I also added Illusion magic to the D.A.L.Pedia to spice things up a bit...

Umm... I hope it's not to much of a biggie...
Anyways, I hope chapter twelve posts smoothly.

~Doriana~

P.S. I hope DA 3 comes out soon, too.

Welcome, Drannic!

Doriana gets a thumbs up!

One minor point for Justin.  You mention he's a Velken.  (Actually you spelled it "Velkin".  Did you mean something else?  Heh...)  Velkens are foxes, not felines.  They're not native to Gaian, the only squad present being called there by Retan.  They're also pretty small.  This is my fault, as I should make all of this more clear in their article since new players aren't expected to read the past several chapters.  (Heh...)

The easiest way to fix this would be to simply make up a new race.  If you really want a Velken character though, talk to me and I'll give you some pointers.

Also since he's not human, a little more description would be nice to help us visualize him.  Other than that, looks good!

----

On the subject of long-ish posts, as a reader, I personally prefer three shorter posts once per day than one longer post once every three days.  But really, it doesn't matter.  During its first year and even beyond, DAL was plagued with really short posts and any plots were extremely shallow.  Now there are multiple rich and vibrant threads going on, and the quality of writing and story telling has improved dramatically.

(Will likely postpone DAL post until tomorrow... Heh...)

Thanks, Xorlak!

I changed Justin to a Gepardi with the ability to transform into an angel or demon (read bio for details).
Anyways, I hope you guys like my ideas I have for this chapter, with the Holy Drannic Republic of Knights. It will be a sensational twist to the story... Hopefully... Meh...

Getting a bit off-topic (but not to far), I kinda thought of a Velken as some sort of anthro being... my mistake.
Well, see you in a few!

~Dori & Justin~

P.S. If this were published, god only knows how many people would read it... (my guess: 5,000,000) Great writting!

It's actually just Gepardi, no S. Perhaps you could make a page for the Holy Drannic Republic of Knights, unless you want them to be all uber-secret.

Oh and not to sound rude, but can you please try and keep the list pages in alphabetical order. I pop a vein whenever I see somebody add a new page to the list not in alphabetical order.

(Note: If there are any typing errors in my posts, it would be because I'm in a hurry, and I don't wanna go back to fix anything either, because I'm lazy Smile Thanks anyways.)

Three things to Dudeman.

One: I'll go fix the whole Gepardi thingy by just takin' out the S. Thank you for notifing me.

Two: I also like the Uber-secret idea, so I'll stick with that... and I'm also feeling a little lazy... heh... who knows. If I ever have enough time on this computer, I'll think about it.

Three: I'm very organized. I don't believe I've put anything out of order or anything like that, unless you or somebody else fixed it for me. In any case, thanks if you did. I'd probably slap myself if I screwd anything like that up.

I'll see you on Dark Age Legends. (and if you feel like coming to a battle of epic proportions, go north to the dark camp, which is south of the market that's east of the northern fringe docks. 'That's a mouth-full'.)

Message to Dudeman or Xorlak.

To the moderators. Here are a few questions I would like to ask, and I'm betting other people may just as well ask them, or they may have already been asked. I appologize if they have already been asked, but I think it would make others who'd like to sign up feel more informed.

Q 1: How many characters are you alowd to have?

Q 2: Are there any censors? (language, drugs, use of alcohol, violence, that kinda thing. I doubt violence is one of them anyways, but what the heck. Smile )

Q 3: What are you guys 'as readers' looking for 'postwise'? Around a few paragraphs, or a whole five pages, or what? (As I said, new people will feel better informed.)

Well, that about covers it. I hate to bother you so much, but it's for the good of the role players.

Thanks,
~Dori & Justin~

P.S. I have made another new char to tie in with the story. He's a Lizard-man with destructive magic, but a strangely large brain (Heh... oh man, that's just too good to be true, ain't it?)

1: No limit, yet. Just as long as you don't have like ten people who travel together and all of them have extreme powers.

2: Not really, as long as the language doesn't conflict with the main forum rules, like explicit sexual descriptions, real instructions in making illegal drugs and/or weapons of mass destruction (Heheh).

3: Me personally, maybe a post with around a couple of medium sized paragraphs. Just take a look at the ten longest posts page in achieves, try to avoid making them that long, in my own opinion their posts are generally too long and I find them exhausting too read. (Sorry DS Sad )

A note on the language thing.  Since posts are now fed to my site's front page, I'd prefer if language is kept to tone-downed levels.  "Blast" can be an awesome swear word, if used creatively. (Heh...)

Drannic, you're doing an awesome job so far.  Just a couple of notes you may be interested in:

Chapters are usually one day long, sometimes prefixed or followed by a night.  I generally keep time in my posts and mention things like sunrise and sunset.   You having posts where days pass is perfectly acceptable, but it means that you're also on a different time schedule than everyone else (e.g. Maybe the events in your posts happened a few days before or something.)  This is no big deal when your characters aren't interacting with anyone else's, but just something you'll want to be aware of when/if you do some character interaction with other posters.

Also, the Dark Continent isn't so far away that days are different.  (Maybe a timezone or two away.)  And since Tjed is east of the Dark Continent (see map), the sun rises there first.  (Heh...)

The Crimson Empire doesn't really exist any more (just making sure you know this since you're hinting with the word 'crimson' a lot.  Heh...).  Everything that was Crimson was re-assimilated into the Dark Empire when Retan returned (which wasn't a big deal, because the Crimson Empire was the Dark Empire to begin with).  The Crimson Emperor Draven is still around through, and still calls himself that to spite Retan.  The only other person who might consider himself a member of the Crimson Empire might be the alchemist Allen, who is currenly helping out Tjed.

Here's a brief timeline you may want to take a look at.

Hmm... Well that changes everything.

I might want to add a post later saying that all of my past posts were a prologue of some sort.

Anyways, I had also no idea that Tjed and the Dark Continent weren't far enough to have completely different times... one suggestion to you. You may want to put up a sort of time zone map. Who knows? Maybe I'm not the only one dumb enough to make such a stipid mistake (lol)

Still along the lines of my stories, how do you think I could make a sort of post that would make the readers realize that I intended to just have them as a prologue? (That's another mouthful.)

I have another idea as well. After reading another topic (Topic: Wow...), I'm curious to say... would you be interested in publishing this RP or making a game out of it? It would be interesting to program, though.

So then, moving along the lines, I would like to thank everyone for keeping this RP current. It's a great way to spend free time, and I'm not just sucking up to anyone here when I say this!

Keep it real,
~Dori, Jacobie, & Justin~

P.S. I shoul really pick a name and stick with it... sorry bout that. lol.

Time zones have never been an issue really.  I think you're the first to point out the sun sets at different times in the RP, which of course reflects the real world and makes sense.  Don't really think it's that much of an issue, though.

I think your prologue statement worked well.  (Heh...)  Also we'll be ending the chapter on Wednesday, so when Chapter 13 starts up it'll be a good time to really kick things off.

I personally have no interest in making a game out of this.  Publishing is an interesting thought.  It's easy to publish stuff nowadays (lulu.com), of course, I'm sure no one would buy it but us.  (Heh...)  This is really a just-for-fun thing.

If I signed with all my characters, I'd get tired typing.  (Though I think Dude Man has us all beat.  Heh...)

Point made, Xorlak. I've pretty much solved the time zone thingy on my own, though, by ending the prologue. Pretty nifty, that...

Anyways, if people knew about this, they'd buy for sure! It'd be like the new harry potter... except with mre violent use of magic... and more blood... and more races... and pretty much anybody can do magic... ahh whatever. It'd probably be too long to rewrite anyways.

See ya on D.A.L. Guys!

~Drannic~

P.S. OMG I GOT IT! lol Smile

You're on fire, Drannic.  (Heh...)  Hate to end the chapter now, but we'll be back at it after a short break.

Nice job people.  This was a nice, rich story driven chapter.  Chapter 13 signups will be up in a week or so.

DAL turns 3 years old today.  Happy DAL Day!

Yet I did like how I was able to do a lot with Duilin that chapter but I was rather disappointment with the lack of cooperation with Coriko. I barely made five posts with Marshall. I think next chapter I'm going to have Marshall and Wilham just go on their own and fight against Count Vandrin. I'm sick and tired of telling Coriko to post.

Oh yeah, and I should also have Ophelia come back. I almost forgot about her.
