[QUOTE="White Masquerade]Nothing you can see or touch. Besides just being athletic, pretty much all of what I can do really well, is intangible. The boring stuff. Like organizing, prioritizing, planning, projecting, arranging, brainstorming, presenting, executing. It's always hard answering that question because these aren't things I can whip out a portfolio of and show you =/. "I can plan really well," is such a ridiculous answer, but hey. It's the truth. Sounds dumb, but putting things together is actually a real talent; albeit a very hard to nail down and unsexy one. I've come to love it though and hope I can get better and better with it. At least to help make other people's dreams a reality.

Eh? (' :| )


Don't sell yourself short, Quirky- you yourself have a flair for writing, and the only one who can properly tell the stories and viewpoints of the lovely, complex characters you've created is you. We have different styles, but that doesn't inherently make one better or worse than the other. And as White said, there are many good reasons for which you two have become the infamous Red/Blue Oni Duo, which I would elaborate upon at this time except that I'm exhausted/ on the verge of going brain dead. Point is, comparing your own work to that of another person isn't necessarily an accurate measure of skill, in writing or any field, and tends to impede your own creativity in the long run. Everyone has different experiences shape their outlook, thus the manner in which we express ourselves differs (With some forms being more subjectively appreciated than others in certain social/artistic circles, unfortunately), so rather than judge it's best to simply appreciate it for what it is and how it contrasts or differs from others. What you do has value and meaning to it- don't ever feel the need to question or belittle that meaning. Of course, that's easier said than done: I can say it in theory, but I still struggle putting the principle into practice when it comes to my work.


@White Masquerade


Oh White, you amuse me so. You dug yourself into this hole by starting that interest page: you can't expect us to let you get out of it so easily. Really, you brought this upon yourself, so don't go getting so feisty now that people have shown interest and are heeding the call (^.^).


My rant applies to you too: you have skills which are immensely valuable, so don't underestimate yourself! You may see them as 'boring', but being organized and being able to get shit done are vital traits, ones which are rather enviable. One can have the most brilliant, creative, innovative mind in the world, but it's not worth a damn if they can't follow through and make it reality. Trust me, if there's one thing I wish I could change, it be becoming more organized/ effective in my time management, rather than procrastinating all the time. So revel in your planning prowess, White-Chan.


@Kiyoko Tomoe


Gold star, rival, for finishing the post and putting White on the losing end of that little bet! I look forward to reading it myself (o'v'o)

Haha alright. I will accept this. =p

Lol. What's gotten into you lately? It's like you're fired up over something

 

[izayoiix]

Just dogs and cats. But we get a variety of both. I have a bunny Mom. Her name is Sugar Baby, like the candy

Omg I am going to die. Infi why are you doing this to me. I see you title. Ugh. I don't know what to do. My heart can't take this. Do you enjoy your bunny?

 

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

D'awww, bunnies are so cute~


Infi-Tan, Infi-Tan, I must know this bunny's name!

 

[clarinetti]

@White Masquerade


*Sigh* I don't know, frankly. By fired up, are you referring to the excessively long nature of my posts both in and out of OOC, or what?


@Arkytior


That rabbit sounds adorable, Arky. (o'v'o) My sister is thinking of adopting a rabbit actually, any helpful advice you might offer?

I was waiting for you to see it Mom :3


Yes I do. She's nice and soft, but petrified at first when being held. I think being in the air scares her.

Try to find someone who can help you find one with a good temperament if it's her first time. Should make it easier to care for. Depending on the type of rabbit, make sure you do research to make sure that anything you get to feed it is actually healthy and won't harm it.

A good word to do what exactly?

 

[izayoiix]

Hey Mom, should I change it to Daughter of the White Masquerade or leave it as is?

 

[White Masquerade]

(>A>) Forget it.

Wait lol. I have to read 3 pages back and reply to things I haven't. In that time daughter, I want you to think about other peoples' feelings. More specifically, how you make them feel. I want you to write out the definition of being considerate.

For the standard roles, I don't like them. It's the quickest way to make your work generic. It wouldn't be fun to have a person thinking just because they're a guardian, they have to be the one that stands still, grabs the enemy's attention and take all the hits. Bleh. Or because they're a mage, they can't use their fists to smash a monster's face in. It's very restrictive and not very enjoyable being locked into a role solely because of your class. Basically every party of 4 would be 1 Guardian, 1 Warrior, 1 Rogue/Ranger, 1 Sorcerer, with very little variation. There's no strategy involved. You just get someone to fill every role and you're golden.


More to come

Except a guardian could forego use of the shield to expan sword skills, or use a 'defender' style short blade in the off hand to add a bit of versatility. A mage could cast a flame protection spell on themselves, then wreathe themselves in flame and go full on xiaolin monk. Or look at Hawke from the Dragon Age 2 trailer. Using a bladed staff for melee and sorcery.


I made my list somewhat based off the Dragon's Dogma class set-up which allows for a surprisingly large amount of flexibility with each class, which is why I included the hybrid vocation set up as well. That way if you want to be a simple sword and shiled guy up front, that's fine, but if you want to run a healer Guardian, with a power that makes a forcefield of healing power in a bubble when you raise your shield, while you team of ranged fighters works behind you, you totally could. The hybrid vocation set up is the greatest strength and allows for that exploration of classes, while the ability to stick with plain classes keeps it simple for those that prefer the basics.

@Kiyoko Tomoe[/URL]
Wow. The dislike for SAO is strong O.o . I love to read your posts when you're passionate about something (:3).

What you do to make him srsly suffer is stick him back at level 1 allow respawns and tell him to go clear all 100 floors by himself.


With the pain inhibitors off.

No, no. You see, this is an online forum. Things that work in games, necessarily won't work here like they are supposed to. You have to be creative in how you incorporate them. Unless you do free-form, which would make all special abilities kind of useless if they don't do anything important that's recognized by everybody you see what I mean?

 

[IG42]

@Arkytior[/URL]
Ah. I can picture the bunny scared. Animals are so wonderful. Not the big lions, gorillas, and stuff but the small, furry ones =/. Leave your name as it is! I like Kinesthetics! Can we get back to non-adorable things though? I am losing my sanity. Let's talk about football, beer, weights...and (What else IG?)

Rugby, physics, explosive ordinance that sort of thing.

@IG42[/URL]
Ig42. That punishment is too light. And I think you'd do well as a male protagonist for an RP. You can be oblivious sometimes =).

I'm never oblivious except when I can't tell what made you say I was oblivious.

I'm nor sure I follow what you mean.


My idea is that each class would specialise in a group set of abilities and have their own strengths and weaknesses, and it's up to the player to determine how their character counters for those.


An SAO example would be Kirito or Asuna using speed to make up for a lack of a shield when fighting alone, or using their teamwork to shield each other. This mean that while they pick a set up(one handed sword) often used with a shield, they didn't need one because they learned to work without one, which is the human side of things.


My thought process is that while there were only supposed to be certain hybrid classes, a mage knight, a sorcerer ranger and a rogue warrior, that has since changed, and the hybridisation of classes is now readily available to all classes, furthermore how you play your class in of itself works too. If any ever played Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, you were able to pick a 'class' of sorts, but the building of skills required your work in them and you weren't actually limited. My figuring is that when a class is picked here, it's a starting point and give you certain skills and a higher ability to use the tools and skills involved with that class from day one, so starting at 25 instead of 1 and the like if that makes sense. Furthermore the development of such skills that aren't covered by your class would take longer and be less effective. I also feel like it would be wise to split the skills into three group, so when you go in you pick a primary(most closely related to your class) secondary and tertiary set of skills. You experience and ability to master each skill would be a trickledown effect, meaning that it would also serve to drive trading and the economy as well, so while you could go it alone, you may be terrible at I don't know, making a fire or some crap, you know?


So theoretically, a rogue whose had their weapons broken could see their warrior buddy get disarmed and pick up the sword, but they wouldn't be near as effective with it and if the two handed sword skills fell into their tertiary category they'd get minimal experience for using it.


But, with this overall set up, it doesn't necessarily restrict people from working alone either, because they can train to cover their bases and explore their capabilities. It drives the user to expand how their going to play their class all while still allowing the flexibility to not be wholly tied down by the pros and cons therein.

Well actually only certain one-handed swords like Asuna's rapier provide a speed bonus. Kirito's long-sword doesn't the only reason he doesn't pick up a shield is because of dual-wielding.

@Arkytior[/URL]
Are you loud and all over the place, IRL? Or on the quiet side and lovable? Because every time I read your posts, its like I picture somebody calm and soft-spoken. I want to e-hug you so bad. It almost never fails. Especially lately. Back in FT you were so spicy, but here you're so open and sweet.

Depends on who I'm with/where I am. With my best friend I'm loud but most other places, I'm quiet and awkward because I'm terrified of talking to people I don't/barely know.


On the internet I tend to be in between lol

NO. I AM NOT ASHAMED OF YOU!

Bunnies are cute yes. Okay I won't change it! Glad to see you aren't ashamed of me
