Two things:
1. Excuse my being a total newb, but what's a GMG exactly? Is it a main story arc of sorts?


2. @Hellkite saying I owe you one for the speedy reply would be a total understatement. Let's just say I owe you 7 and leave it at that. xD

Grand Magic Games


Its a tournament. It is not the main story, but it is something that anyone and everyone can be a part of if they want to be.

HOLY CRAP GRAND MAGIC GAMES YESSS!! (that was the last arc I saw in the anime and it was my favorite arc of all time, so needless to say I am crying just a bit out of pure hype)

[QUOTE="Mad Prince of Sanity]Ah alright, Well... the two "heroes" die first. >:3 Then we'll see who wins, muahahahaa!

If you want to get to Libby, you have to go through the entirety of Lamia Scale to get to her. Quite literally. The guild is super protective of her.

Gotta love how you didn't even bother arguing for Olive xD

Even among my own characters, I do play favorites as far as who I care about the most. I will rp them equally, but to be quite honest, Olive doesn't have a whole lot going for her as far as strength goes. She is a mind reader so her magic isn't very combat directed. That and I'm not quite sure how much her guild cares about her because I haven't gotten to write as much interaction with her specifically.

Read all the minds! :D
 
Still, there's so many cool types of magic here! I'm really impressed with everyone! (also, yes the Dragon/God slayer thing is a bit overused, but even that is done well.)

The only thing that worried me when it came to Dragon/God slayers was that they would all Natsu-ify themselves and every time they got beat down it would devolve into "Rawr more Dragon Powah cuz I am angry!". xP

Half the active dragon slayers are S-class and the other half are A or B class I believe


My own dragon slayer is A-class.

Oh and also I will admit I am more than a bit apprehensive at the sheer number of S-class people already present. Though they seem to be balanced by insane enemies like Malka, it does lead me to believe that this may turn out in a somewhat similar fashion to my own Real-Life LARP group where, compared to the first ten or so people who came to the first event, it is near-impossible for people who joined later to catch up to them. Such as a current S-class mage who joined as such having a quick-shot to Wizard Saint Status.


(If you wanna read my little rant about the LARP group in particular, open the spoiler below)

So each of the first players got a special item for thanks in supporting the group, as well as some unbalanced BS item-drops, money, etc. while the owners were figuring out their own system, so to speak. So that by the time others started to join, and the owners began to correct these things, it got to the point where these original people were so far impossibly ahead that even if they didn't attend until you were equal level with them, they would still have uber-items to put themselves above you that the owners never give out because they are utterly broken. On a somewhat-sad note, things have just now begun to balance out with us newer players because old the older ones left due to said downgrading of their power-drops and the like. :/
 
There are a lot of guilds and they vary on size. The larger the guild, the more S-class allowed. As of now, we are not accepted anymore S-Class unless they go to a smaller/newer guild. And even then, it's still limited.

That is why I have a character named Elizabeth "Libby" Tuck. She is not meant to be powerful - in fact, she is pathetic (although her age makes that ok). I can use her and her attachment to the more powerful characters in the rp to become central to the story and plot of many different things. Libby actually went so far as to kind of become friends with an S-Class villain.


When you build characters for the purpose of building relationships rather than for winning fights, you can almost have more fun than the ones involved in the fighting.

I Mean I totally understand wanting your character to be powerful and stuff, but think about it: You gotta start somewhere! It's not fair if you START with S-class abilities and take all the spots from others. Everyone shouldn't be allowed to start at A or S, but they should be allowed to work their way up to those levels by participating and developing their characters. That's my opinion anyway. :\

Basically what I was saying. :) Not that I think no-one should be S-class to start with.

Also, isn't it more fun when you have a goal to aspire to? You're building a character, don't make them so overpowered they don't have a weakness

Also true. I just meant that if ALL the S-spots get filled from the get-go and there is a cap as to how many we can have, then there is a faux "ceiling" for what people can reach.
