Finalization of Belt-Clan Definitions

LordPsycho · Last edited by LordPsycho on Mon Sep 18, 2006 3:48 pm; edited 1 time in total

To move on to selecting the Sensei's of the new belt system, and then to determining the belt qualifications for each clan, we must first finalize the Belt-Clan Definitions.

After a week's worth of debate, this is what we have:

*Addman dives in dramatically after missing what seems like an eternity of events at Blackstar. He smashes through the solid gold meeting house, destroys some priceless possessions and reduces the table to rubble*

Ahem, I object! I believe we need one more clan. A monkey clan!

From reading the proposed descriptions, my main character does not fit in with any of these clans whatsoever. I know that there are a few others (especially within the EC) who have an RP style similar to myself, one which is mostly driven by humour and foolish antics.

The dojo is representative of all styles of RPing, and I find myself stuck in a void with no clan fitting myself in any particular way. I am sure others will benefit from a Monkey clan, people like Fort, Cloud, and maybe Net, so I ask of you, do not let the laughter die!

*dramatically dives out of the room again*

Poor Goron. *Embers steps in to explain, whispering in his ear*

You see, ah... Addman/woman... doesn't have ... anything... you know... down there... except for a.... squeaker. But you didn't hear it from me! Technically, it's Addit.... poor muppet is really quite sensitive about it, so try not to rub it in, all right?

Oh... I'm very sorry... My mistake...

*Buries head in a magazine*

*tears well up in addeunach's eyes*

Still, anyone considered my point?

Embri · Black Spider Blackstar Native Old Friend Posts: 2172

You get my vote, darling. *Embers nods* Comedic RPing is just as valid a style as any other we have.

A little too much information about Addman/woman just now but I'd agree to the Monkey class.

Would Addwoman, or maybe Embr...Embers (since he seems to have a knack for these things) care to suggest a definition?

Embri · Black Spider Blackstar Native Old Friend Posts: 2172

Of course I'll put in a definition, since you asked so nicely, Danikat.

*Embers grins, and dips his horn in Danikat's direction.*

Here goes.

Monkey - Specialty: Humor

Slapstick, comedy/tragedy, and general all around fun is the name of the game for Monkey Clan. To the uninformed, they may seem less serious about their role playing arts than some of the other Clans, but Monkey Clan are just as skilled as the rest; they just prefer the lighter side of things.

You forgot the part where they fling poo.

Definitions Amended.

Goron's post followed by DP's post has put our resident Sensei in a new light for me. You're not completely free of the EC curse DP, are you? Wink

So there is to be none for those such as myself? As I have pointed out once, I shall do so again, that I do not fit into the current group of catergories. I would prefer it if one were made for those like myself.

Something like 'The Sanctuary Badge', or a migratory animal of somesort. If this is possible, I would appreciate it, thankyou.

Blessed be you all.

Unfortunately, Father Mac, I fear that is not possible for two reasons: Unlike the Monkey style of RP, yours is not common enough a path taken by individuals to warrent it's own clan, and secondly (and most importantly), this poll closes in about thirty minutes from the time I make this post, ruling out any time for people to approve/disapprove such a new measure.

However, if you must know, I feel your character is of the Spider Clan, or the Story Weavers. Your approach to problem solving is through cooperative play and teamwork, granted this is often by characters of your own control. Without people of this type, most RP's would never move forward. I feel I sometimes excude some characteristics of the Spider Clan, but truth be told, I have used most every style here at one point or another for DP (Hence why I could claim to be a master without having to back it up. But if you must, I can)

The first part of the ascension to Green Belt is going to be the hardest for most of you guys: Determining which path best suites your style. If you have doubts, feel free to talk to some of the Clan-Sensei's once they are appointed, or talk to myself or embri-uh-Embers.
