Man this feels strange... :chin:

Anyways lets get to business, yes you read it right this is our very first ADA meeting on Midnight Shadows but our 209th one in the existence of WWD opening up on CTP. The old lot running around here might remember the meetings and we felt that it was time to bring them back. Yay for nostalgia.

So to get things clear this is a meeting, not and I repeat NOT a banter thread. This thread is solely for discussions regarding ADA, your concerns, your questions.

Meetings will run from Sunday till Wednesday/Thursday each week. We'll try to get a sum up in the first post of each new meeting with every important thing that happened during the previous meeting.

So with that... MEETING IS OPEN!

!!! An official meeting thread. Oh indeed Ellen, "yay for nostalgia". 209th eh? I remember it hitting 200 - that was big.

With the abundance of members already on this board in the other RPGs I believe we can expect some more ADA and FGB recruits coming our way. I suggest all us ADAers be very accommodating to anyone who hasn't been a part of the WWD before so we can raise activity again :nod:. I know you all will be :) but no harm in mentioning it.

eta - This is Lea by the way. Got to get used to the many username differences ;)

Lea?! LEA! That is you? Dude, you should have said so before!

Kidding :-p

But yes, open, friendly is the way. I have a good feeling about things :D I really do. And damn, it's so good to have meetings back. Yes, we sacked them before, but now it's so nice to see them back :D

With being here and all - new venue, JUST NEW and all - what is everyone's thoughts on ADA? What are your ideas? What would you like to see? Anything, everything is welcome. Just share your ideas and let's talk about them!

Ok I feel like I am too excited for my own good.

Wow, this is ... strange to say the very least. It feels like it's been about 3 years since I was last in one of these things. Oh wait ... right! :lmao:

I guess my very first question would have to be: Where the heck did the Lancer go? :(

That's my name, say it again, Chrissie :-p

Oh yeah, there's a certain energy about the WWD now :woohoo: (had to use that smilie, I find it hilarious). Have you seen how many posts have been made today? Lots.

Giving you guys (who don't have access to the employee forums) a head's up. There'll be another venue in the SE for you soon. So if the previous ones haven't really gotten your attention, this one should. Should make for some irritated, but effective, Demons.

Powers that Be, you probably knew this question was going to come up again and you're gonna want to smack me but, is WWD possibly merging into the RPG database? It's a godly board mod and it'd be extra shiny if WWD characters could have their own pages. I do realise it'd take some effort making them though.

eta - The Lancer sadly went bye bye along with the other species.

This is it for me today, my arm is making me crazy :'(

And the Chaos Demon? :( Oh, well. The new premise sort of makes it worth it for them to be gone. I should probably go read it more fully now. :-p

Wow... it's been a long time. A really long time. I hardly ever posted in these things back when I was actually here the first time around. XD

We thought we'd try to give people a more open approach to building a character. All the powers that existed before are still there and we are completely open to having people being specific Chaos Demons or Lancers, just didn't want to limit people.

Subversive Beauty
12-03-2007, 02:54 AM
I see that now. :nod: And the new premise is very nice, though it forces me to make a new character and not recycle my old one since it seems there never was an Academy.

:chin: Somehow, it makes the Academy seem like Ba Sing Se. *does all Joo Dee for a moment* There is no war within the walls ...

All right, I'm better now. I guess the best way to answer all the questions I've got is to walk around and read now. It's going to take me a while to adjust I think, since I'm very set in the old ways the ADA worked.

Hmmmm.... okey-dokey.... I guess I'll start off my 1st post in a meeting by saying that I'm willing to give some people a training thread if they need/want one for any reason-- Trainee ---> Level 2, or even higher if you just want someone to test some things on or whatnot :nod:. I've been trained by some of the best, and I've asked a boatload of questions :elol:, and I've been wanting to give some of that back, and I haven't been around long enough to be a Big Brother yet, so this is kinda a cool way I can do it :nod:.

And yeah, Chrissie, *cough* DAHAKA *cough* :hehe:

[eta] PM me for the training thread :-p.... or, hell, PM me if you wanna fight :-p lmao

Wow, feels odd to be in a ADA thread after 3 years of being banned. Not used to this star treatment :hehe: Although starting over from scratch should prove amusing, wonder how many of the old gang is still here? Will find out later I guess, just sort of stoked to be here after all this time... I'm ready to get back into it all over again.

I think that a nice thing to help with newbies about the species that previously were about the ADA would be a thread with the information on each type :nod:

I'd also like to see that Legion Towers are given sticky threads to promote them. :D

Other than that - with the VAST amount of powers ADA offers at this moment I think bonus powers or weapons in ADA are a bit overkill. The weapons are also an FGB thing btw :-p ADA never had such :-p

That way they at least know what promise they made where ;)

I wouldn't mind that, as long as everyone still needs to compete for the bonus powers. :-p And to keep the theme alive, perhaps make them talismans, each one named after an Egyptian God/Goddess. (As with Sekhmet's gifts) :shrug: Nothing that needs to be done, but it may be exciting to compete for a brand new ability. :nod:

Well, I didn't see all these responses! Haha, now my post just looks stupid. :-p

Oh no, actually I like that :D Extending the range of Sekhmet's gifts to me appears also as something a lot more easily done than coming up with bonus powers ADA doesn't offer in the normal range one way or another yet. And calling them talismans so sounds nice. Yay for nostaligia xD

Aren't Sekhmets gifts already basically a Tailisman - items forged with a power.. Or am i confused on the subject.

Ah Nostalgia - Memories of Aodhan nearly killing Brietta everytime she got a Talisman...

Thor
12-03-2007, 11:30 PM
Yeah but we're more talking abut the old talismans, you know the ones that are now called Dark Gifts ;)

smurf
12-03-2007, 11:33 PM
Yeah.. I remember those. I know those foundly having been granted a total of 10 of them over the years.. It was half the fun of promotions... And I could never make up my mind...

I just reread the convo and dude my brain wasnt working.. My name is kendra and I have no brain. Sorry. I do like the idea of expanding Sekhmets Gifts, they havent changed in the like 3 years since they were created.

I still think that we should go for the idea of returning to the old ways, the good times :D

Unforgiving
12-03-2007, 11:44 PM
But I like the current way! Though, making the promotions, at least in part (don't know if mentioned already) a BIC aspect, like the Talismans used to be could be pretty fun. Other than that, the way that Sekhmets gifts work currently is awesome, because you know the people that have them, do so for a reason. We don't really need anymore.

Well it would depend on the number of people interested in one. Overall, I think an extra 3-4 Gifts eventually wouldn't be a bad idea. I am sure you like your gift, so why not grant a few other a toy like that? :-p

Concerning the Grimiore, I was wondering if ADA members could add spells to it, just like the FGB adds to the BoS, but instead of adding spells that ar benevolent, we could add spells to maim,torture, and even Vanquish our enemies.

There are such spells. Maim and torture would certainly be in the list of spell ADA has. And you can send in spells for review at any time. Just can never be guaranteed that they will indeed be added because spells and what they do need to meet certain criteria.

Hey, I looked. The Grimoire still has some of the spells I wrote for that contest ages ago! :hehe: Sweet!

And, I wouldn't mind a Sehkmet's Gift. I've always wanted to fight for one, but I think way back in the day there was this unwritten rule that you had to be a level 4 or something. :chin: Then again, adding a few Gifts and holding a tournament to claim them would be fun. (A) A physical tournament s'il vous plait.

Unforgiving
12-04-2007, 12:13 AM
Its not level orientated any more. Codi challenged me and she was a T. That said it didn't last long, but any leve can challenge for a gift.

I think what type of tounament should depend on the gift. A Physical one for perhaps a physical orientated gift like mine, and maybe a different elemental type one for an element based gift much like Ellens.

Subversive Beauty
12-04-2007, 12:15 AM
I'm just saying a physical tournament because I'm feeling far too lazy to both leveling up. :-p

Better yet - a tournament like the ancient Ater Spiritus Incom ... whatever I named it. :-p Something based entirely on the strength of character and RP rather than how many people you can gut with pretty powers. :hehe: Level playing field for all.

Thing is, we've got a defensive Sekhmet's for each major category that I can think of--elemental, physical, psionic/mental. Seems like defense is covered, so maybe a couple of offensive ones, although this is just a brainstormer here, b/c as I think about it, I'm not really sure how that would work? :shrug:

We could work that the same way the FGB's are, kind of. Not weapons so to speak but a little bit more like their bonus powers are, but with an evil twist.

What FGB has works for FGB. Same for ADA both covens kinds always had their own ways how to handle powers, what concept to put behind them, and in turn what to hand out and what not to. I think if ADA were to hand out more bonus powers, our level 7s would yet again find a way to create something that wouldn't "work it like FGB" :-p

And man Kate, you saying that makes the word ancient pop up in my head :-s

Aw my first tourny. That was fun. I was Deception ;).

Concerning the Grimiore, I was wondering if ADA members could add spells to itOnce in a very blue moon we have a contest where members can send in a whole bunch of spells. And whoevers are chosen get a power prize for about a month. But like I mentioned, the moon has to be an insane shade of blue - and for the moment I think we're doing just fine with what spells we have access to now :nod:

hehe I about laughed when I saw the "Attie aka Leslie" bit. Attie was Olivia. :-p Liv Liv. :-p Damn, I miss her. :(

Ay and we ought to poke John and Jen to come back. Their meeting intros were some pretty funny ****. :-p

Oh and if ya'll want some bonus powers/weapons ideas, I can volunteer to write up a couple if I'm just told what the limits are. :-p I actually have a few saved that I had written up for another aspect for WWD and if those don't go through, I've got some alternates I can easily tweak out. :nod:

Mmmm...idea wise, I've got something that's actually a mesh of previous ideas I've had with a few tweaks from others.

See, now that we're merged and also now active on another board with new members sure to come in, I figure we take advantage of the Neutral area. Perhaps since we've got the ADA for the demons only and the FGB for witches only and the Neutral area where we fight and RP together as well as activities, what if we were to create an area for the Neutrals, those who have not yet picked a side? There could be some RP places, some minor physical fighting as well as some specific activities just for them? Sort of to intro them to Role Playing? I mean, right now, they've got a special catagory in Initiation. Perhaps they can even play as the Innocents in the Group Missions...

Bonus bit, perhaps they could have a range of RP-only powers. Powers that can't be used in fights, but would be useful in RP situations that would improve in strength if/when they join a side and start growing in levels. Premonitions (think of Phoebe's, where hers are a LONG way in the future, never something she ever used in fights, right?), Dream-Walking (going into the dreams of sleeping people), Time Travel, Planeswalking (able to go into alternate dimensions at will) and other such abilities. Of course, we'd all pick a power from these as well.

Add in, there could be 3 individuals (most likely ex-Guides or Warlords/Warladies) who make up the Neutral Council/Avatars. As that there are the same number of Guides and Warlords/Warladies on each side, with these three, they would certainly prove to be a tie-breaker in any major dispute since there is an odd number. Oh and a perk: like the Guides/Warlords/Warladies have all the powers of level 6 strength on their respective sides, the Avatars/Neutral Council would have the level 6 strength from both sides. :-p

A little out there, but there you have it. Wonder if that case, since we can have a char on both sides, if we could have a Neutral only char? I suppose even now, we could have Neutral chars, but I assume we'd have to give up either being in the ADA or FGB to have one. Or, how else would we go about it to aquire a Neutral char now?

Codi with the Neutral bit, I'd have to say that maybe it could be the Archons?

Funny you should mention that, actually. I had that idea and suggested it about a year ago, along with character class builds (select a certain combinations of powers and you get a title.. think of it kind of like old species but limited to one per coven [ADA Assasin, ADA Warlock, etc. etc.]). I even used those exact same powers that you just said..

But then, that was just when I thought of making levels go up to 10, rather than 7, and after 6 you just gained powers/abilities which improve character rather than fights..

Archons...could work Kie since they are mentioned. :nod:

heh, I had mentioned those abilities in an FGB meeting some time ago, though it hadn't gone over well. People still went along with the assumption that they'd be used in fights, despite my insistance that they be RP-only. Ah confusion confusion all around. :shrug:

But the post 6 levels do sound interesting. I mean, you gotta figure that peeps main concern is that when they get up there, there's not much else to look forward to, hence the restarting. Granted, once in the higher levels, it would run into the similar issue, but would just be postponed. However, I still agree it would be cool. This may be a battle RPG, but it's *still* an RPG. Complete with storylines, IC drama and yeah, even the occasional Mary Sue/Gary Stu. :-p Focusing a bit on that end and having some non-battle abilities could prove fun. Now and then, I've seen RP spells from the Grimoire and Book of Shadows used in Havoc and RP threads with some funky results. :-p

Along the line, I had once suggested allowing the option of allowing 6's to go "rogue" as it were. As in, not be a part of a Legion or Coven (meaning the equivalent of Legion in FGB. People would still be ADA or FGB, but wouldn't be part of a specific grouping within the grouping if you see what I mean)

Figure those who are separate would be able to have their own thing. Like when FGB's got the Gauntlet and are pitted coven against coven, perhaps the rogues could band together or maybe have something else entirely. :shrug:

Damn, It's gone all quiet all of a sudden... o_O I wonder though? Hmmm... Who do I have to stab to get some action going on around here? I seem to have got the welcome back, quick hurry and throw me in the deep end jitters again. :D Maybe over eager to get back into the action, but still... That's how I deal with things. :hehe:

I would like to see if members from c:tp could have a chance to restart for a fresh slate?

Unforgiving

Banned members have already been allowed back in the game Kieran, and rules are in place for people restarting within the game. What exactly do you mean?

I think Kie is wondering if since the site moved will he be able restart or does he still have to wait till he gets to level three to restart. :shrug:

I don't see why just because of the move those rules should change. Everyone was given a chance with the merge, and since then to sort things out. Seem's like just an excuse to be lazy. If you want to restart, follow the rules like everyone else does.

Paul this Winchester avatar sure makes you absolute:-p

Kie: If Kiki got it right and you just wanna restart within ADA I am afraid you'd have to wait till level 3. At least this rule goes way back, even before the Merge or any new rule you see these days:nod:

I was just asking for some of the other members as well. I'm fine with working to level two. I thought only of this for many to start anew. Sorry if I caused trouble without meaning to :nod:

Nope, so please if you find the shoe then send it into Crimestoppers UK :hehe:

Kie's getting lots of attention from guys online :woot:

BTW, was there a mentor program before that was partly manditory for members?

So to get things clear this is a meeting, not and I repeat NOT a banter thread. This thread is solely for discussions regarding ADA, your concerns, your questions. - Your reference Susan.

Kie, I'm almost positive that ever since the merge there has been nothing mandatory. It is mandatory for higher levels to help out train a newer member if thats what you mean. Otherwise newer members have initiation or the big brother/sister program.
