Title: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Arch-Magos Winter on August 01, 2014, 12:56:04 AM
So yeah, take two. Let's hope it takes off this time.

7 Masters, 7 Servants. All playable (but no players playing on the same team as themselves, oh no). With your host Arch Magos as GM.

NOTE: Deadline for submitting sheets is Central Time.

Here's your lists (note: a :cthulhu: next to a name means their sheet is submitted, a :heart: if it's been approved):

Masters:
Alice - Master of Lancer
Cherry Lover - Master of Archer
 - Master of Saber
Mooncake - Master of Assassin
Xamusel - Master of Berserker
MissingMandible - Master of Caster
StrayKat - Master of Rider

Knick*

*Might not be participating due to tests, but his name is noted here anyway for if he comes back. Until then, despite the note, assume he's not on the roster until he reconfirms.

Servants:
Archer: Christemo :cthulhu: :heart:
Saber: Nihilm  :cthulhu: :heart:
Lancer: Dallas :cthulhu: :heart:
Rider: Nachos
Assassin: Lycodrake :cthulhu: :heart:
Caster: Irisviel :cthulhu: :heart:
Berserker: Soldat der Trauer :cthulhu:

Sheet Templates:

Class:
Master: (fill this in once you know who your Master is)
True Name: (for the sake of it remaining secret, this remains blank on any public sheets until revealed or death)
Gender:
Height/Weight:
Alignment:
Attributes: (as ranked through E-A, and then EX. E is 10x that of a fit, average human. EX is the exception, it being so exceptional that it's beyond categorization)
Strength:
Endurance:
Agility:
Prana:
Luck:
Noble Phantasm:
Class Abilities: (each ability is also ranked E-A, and then EX.)
Skills: (E-A, EX. These vary on the individual Heroic Spirit.)

Name:
Gender:
Age:
Origin:
Affinity:
Magical Tradition:


Now the next stats go from A to E. You start at D for each one (Except for Crest Generation, which goes down to F (No crest) and starts at C), and get 4 points to distribute. Each rank up costs one point. You can take away from starting stats for extra points. It costs one point to increase each attribute.

Ignore this. Anything goes if you can justify it to me.

Circuit Quantity:
Circuit Quality:
Crest (Generation):

Circuit Quality and Quantity dictate your potential as a magus - along with Crest . The higher your Crest, the more prestige your character has in the magical world, and the more family specific spells you have access to. For a price (one point) you can also choose a Sorcery Trait for your master. For another point, you can choose a nonstandard element (One that isn't one of the following: Fire, Earth, Wind, Water, Spirit, Metal) or a second of the standard.

Setting Crap:
The 'destruction' of the grail in the 5th war by Excaliber wasn't complete. It took another 10 years for the Grail to get working again - but there are multiple problems now this time around. Waver Velvet is trying to, with the help of a cadre of enforcers, shut the Grail down, for good. But this plan is opposed within the Clocktower itself. Indeed, agents of various families are converging on the city even as masters are chosen and servants summoned, hoping to take seals and servants for themselves.

Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya have been forced to flee Japan to go into hiding as several of these families attempt to secure previous masters to use as their proxies. Shinji Matou himself has proved surprisingly adept at evading these hunter magi, but this situation cannot last. He might also prove to be a boon or ill to any of the Masters, as his own insights into the withdrawn Matou family may hold the key to victory or defeat. As for Zouken Matou... he seems almost disinterested in this war, as if it does not concern him. Whether he has plans for the Sixth Heavens Feel or not remains to be seen, but no hunter magi have entered the Matou lands and left alive. The current church authority itself has not avoided violence even then. Rumors of a cadre of executors now present in Fuyuki under Father Christianson have spread, but no proof has been found. Yet. As is the Good Father seems to have taken his status as Mediator well.

Enjoy!

Calling dibs on Archer.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Puck-Chan on August 01, 2014, 12:56:56 AM
I call for Saber.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Dallas on August 01, 2014, 12:58:56 AM
I'll take Lancer or Berserker, whichever one is free at the time.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Cherry Lover on August 01, 2014, 01:06:15 AM
Well, I'll take one of the master roles. I might take a servant if one is spare and I can think of one to play, but there aren't all that many heroes I would particularly want to play as.

Post by: The Man With All The Cute Boats on August 01, 2014, 01:07:32 AM
Dibs on rider
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Alice on August 01, 2014, 01:12:40 AM
I'm in as a Master (and official OP editor). Anyone who wants to make dibs do so in the thread, those are the ones that count.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Knick on August 01, 2014, 01:23:32 AM
Doing master.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Dallas on August 01, 2014, 01:31:06 AM
Actually changed my mind I'll take Lancer for sure.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Mooncake on August 01, 2014, 02:14:42 AM
In as a Master.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Alice on August 01, 2014, 02:23:16 AM
So we're an even 4-4 on Masters and Servants in terms of dibs. Claim those remainings slots while you can people, they're going fast.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Alice on August 01, 2014, 03:19:51 AM
Nevermind, 3-4, Knick has tests and things, so he's out until that stuff gets done. I'll leave him on the list though in case this takes long enough to start up where he gets through his test things.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Xamusel on August 01, 2014, 07:38:20 PM

Fuck it, I'll join as a caster
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: YOLF on August 01, 2014, 11:03:38 PM
Yes, hello, I'd like a Master/magus hired by whomever to help slot.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: SINIB on August 01, 2014, 11:36:48 PM
So are servant sheets assigned, or am I makeing one?
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Cherry Lover on August 01, 2014, 11:40:27 PM
You make your own servant, but the master you're assigned to is random.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: SINIB on August 01, 2014, 11:45:52 PM
Ok, better work on that.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Arch-Magos Winter on August 04, 2014, 08:56:28 PM
Ok, better work on that.

Also Original servants please. I'm lifting the master Restrictions as well. Just get stats down. Don't worry about points.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Cherry Lover on August 04, 2014, 09:56:40 PM
Hmm, right, so we can make our masters as powerful or as weak as we like?
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Soldat der Trauer on August 04, 2014, 11:48:13 PM
The Grail here still following mainstream worldline rules, or is it incorporating any aspects from the Extra or Apocrypha AUs?
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Brahmastra on August 05, 2014, 12:49:10 AM
As far as Magos has told me, it's normal-ish.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Soldat der Trauer on August 05, 2014, 06:57:42 AM
I'll take Assassin, then, if it's still open.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Lycodrake on August 05, 2014, 03:56:24 PM
Dang it, just saw this. I don't think I have a Berserker sheet, though...was going to go with my Assassin, but oh well.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Soldat der Trauer on August 06, 2014, 01:02:59 AM
Pending if Lyco is still interested, he can have Assassin, and I'll take Berserker.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Alice on August 06, 2014, 01:09:40 AM
I can go ahead and edit the OP if that's what you guys want to do. ...Though confirmation is nice so I don't do it when people don't actually want me doing it. ^^"
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Lycodrake on August 06, 2014, 04:42:31 AM
I appreciate it and will gladly take up the role of Assassin
as long as Sol gives it his all to have a Berserker ready!
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Alice on August 06, 2014, 05:04:06 AM
That means all the Servant slots are taken, and that just leaves the three/two Master slots left (depending on if Knick is able to play or not). :)
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Lycodrake on August 06, 2014, 06:32:43 AM
Finished revising my previous sheet into the format requested. I suppose we send it in ASAP via PM?
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Alice on August 06, 2014, 06:59:21 AM
Yeah, any and all sheets for this RP get sent to Magos via PM. :)

Dallas convinced me to take the last slot as Master.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Dallas on August 11, 2014, 01:19:04 AM
Would we be able to get a way to see who has had their profiles accepted whilst waiting for everyone to finish, so we can get a general idea of close this RP is to happening? Maybe a smiley face next to there names lol?
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Alice on August 11, 2014, 01:33:18 AM
Yeah, something like that. :P Magos can either let me know who all has their stuff in, and I can edit something next to their names, or he can do the same himself. But yeah, probably an emoticon or something.

Magos edited pairings into the OP, so yep.

...I'm honestly amazed Chris and Mike got paired up via random selection, it had to be fate.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo

Great....

You sure it was random...?

Post by: Alice on August 11, 2014, 12:19:17 PM
Magos told me that's how the die rolled. I wouldn't think he'd lie to me about it, of all people. ^^" Like I said, it had to have been fate.

Nah, if Magos did it on purpose, it's because you hate each other, not to piss off one or the other. Thus he finds the prospect amusing for those reasons. It's like how he found that shipping image I made of Mike and himself (otp) funny. Sorta-ish.

Sadly tis the long standing tradition of plenty of humor being deprived from schadenfreude. Unless it's just plain unfunny period or unless it's the sort of thing you can just laugh off, so often stuff's funny unless it's happening to you.

As far as the OP says, slots are already locked. You're out late Jenn :/
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Cherry Lover on August 14, 2014, 03:19:04 PM
Knick is listed as "may be partcipating" despite not having a role, though, so I'm not sure what is going on there.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Alice on August 14, 2014, 03:37:17 PM
Mike, you need to look at the OP more carefully. ^^" There's all 7 slots filled even without Knick.

However, Elf there's still hope! If someone doesn't come through with the sheet on time or someone drops out, you can maybe still get in. Or someone submits too many duds in terms of sheets or something. Might not hurt to talk to Magos either way. :)

Yeah, I know, but Knick is still listed as "possibly participating" despite not having a slot.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Alice on August 14, 2014, 04:12:08 PM
I left it alone just in case someone drops, Elf decides not to join or something similar, and thus a slot is open, and he's still willing to play. ...Or something like that. ^^" Basically it's a "just in case" thing.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Puck-Chan on August 14, 2014, 07:45:41 PM
Dropping my Saber slot. My apologies to my Master and everyone else. School is starting and I may get really busy. Good luck on the war, everyone.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Alice on August 14, 2014, 08:41:46 PM
Quite understandable. Good luck with school and everything. :)

That leaves a Servant slot open. Anyone who wants to grab it while it's still open (that includes you, Elf, if you don't mind playing as a Servant instead of a Master) is welcome to.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Xamusel on August 15, 2014, 06:25:43 PM
Ugh... why is it that I've forgotten to get back to this thread in who knows how long?!

In any case, I'll be working out a Master Sheet before the 21st, and hopefully sending it in by a reasonable time.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Dallas on August 15, 2014, 10:03:43 PM
Nihilm says he wants to make a Saber. Wants to make his sheet before registering for some reason, in case he doesn't get approved.

Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Alice on August 20, 2014, 09:03:47 AM
Hmm... with all the people suddenly interested, is anyone interested in considering a team grail war, like Apocrypha? Though even with all the interested people now, I don't know if we could pull it off. That's still 28 slots to fill, which is a ton. Though then, I'm not sure how else to accommodate all the newly interested people.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Brahmastra on August 20, 2014, 10:13:12 AM
We're literally never gonna have the people for a team grail.

Though then, I'm not sure how else to accommodate all the newly interested people.

You don't accommodate, that's how. People were late, so they gettin deflate.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: SINIB on August 20, 2014, 02:34:00 PM
Maybe they could be hired help, but unless we get 28 more people on the waiting list I don't think going F/A is a logical idea.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo

Post by: Dallas on August 21, 2014, 12:06:26 AM
Keep it standard like this please sad for interested people but just because we got another 3 people interested doesnt mean we can get another 11. There might be another in the future to look forward to.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo

Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Lycodrake on August 21, 2014, 02:00:53 AM
More PCs or mooks/NPCs means less surprise factor for Assassin, so obviously I vote for "standard" (though all thus-far depicted Grail Wars have been non-standard :V ).

Yeah Elf should get first dibs on a Master. After that Milbunk if she says no then you can grab it.

>6/7 Servant sheets finished.

>0/7 Master sheets done.

Look, are we ever going to fucking start? It doesnt take more than an hour or two to make a decent sheet.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Alice on September 01, 2014, 08:52:56 PM
For the record, I have mine almost done (I'm recycling my sheet from the last one). Hell, I could actually turn it in as is and just change the backstory stuff later with Magos's permission if I wanted to. It would probably be approved fairly quickly since the changes would be minimal. I'm just waiting for more people to submit.

...Now would the skype people please for the love of god stop pestering me over it. I'm not the only one with their sheet not in, so stop treating me like I am, and I'm the one responsible for the rest not being in. It's not helping anything, and all it's doing is making me frustrated. So please, for the love of god, stop.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Brahmastra on September 01, 2014, 10:08:06 PM
Rae, am fairly sure no one is pestering you about it. AFAIK you're the person closest to completion, and absolutely no one has said you're responsible for the rest, so please dont imply that I or others have said that.
Title: Re: Grail War RP: Electric Boogaloo
Post by: Alice on September 01, 2014, 10:47:35 PM
Sorry about that. It's mostly been Dallas, and he's pretty much stopped I think. ...well, that, and I've been rather on edge recently anyway. Again, my apologies.

Sorry about that. It's mostly been Dallas, and he's pretty much stopped I think. ...well, that, and I've been rather on edge recently anyway. Again, my apologies.

Im not pestering you Im pestering everyone. Your just the only one responding to my pestering with a discussion. The fact that no one is submitting anything makes me question whether we actually are going to do this. For crying out loud its been like a month. I thought it would start mid august but now schools bloody starting. This is getting ridiculous.

One of the biggest reasons the first attempt failed was because of how long it took everyone to get their stuff in. I know people are busy but if you don't get stuff in the same thing might very well happen.

Im gonna go ahead and jump ship because this is never ever going anywhere due to lack of activity. Consider Archer open.

Alright, seriously, what's taking so long with the sheets?

I already said where I'm at. I might just mark myself as submitted since my sheet is pretty much the same as the first run.

I don't know what's up with the other people. We might have to get to kicking people if this keeps up. Because this is ending up like the first one.

Maybe we should allow open admittance, as in, anyone who's not confirmed can be replaced by somebody who enters with a valid sheet and is accepted.
We are a month over deadline, after all.

Step one might be pulling a roll call of sorts- that is, anyone that's not submitted a sheet says something in here, and we start from there.

I am still interested but only if we can get this off the ground. There's no sense in joining a dead RP after all.

Yeah, agreed.

My sheet isn't done yet, and I'm busy at work this week (plus I'm away this weekend) so I'm not sure how much time I'm going to get to work on it. I'm still intending to play, but I'm not massively bothered if someone else takes my place.

Im out too. This should have started mid august. By the time it does get going I won't have time to bother with it. Lancer is open.

I'm still interested, although as I said I am unlikely to have much time to work on this this week.

Welp, we might have another one dead in the water. Unlike CE, where lull periods are pretty much inevitable, unless we have a sudden surge in turn ins or something, I'd say we're done here for now.

HOWEVER. That's not to say that the whole idea is dead in the water. Honestly, I'll say this, after thinking about it. Next time we need to probably enforce it so that only people that are absolutely guaranteed to turn a sheet in within a reasonable amount of time can participate. So none of Xam's "I'm waiting on someone to help me with my sheet for forever lol, sorry guys."

It would probably mean a roll call after about a week in order to check things. Anyone that doesn't respond period just gets kicked, and we re-recruit. Though the other problem is that we need a slightly larger player base. Though we were so close this time.

So then. Should we call this one, have me try again in a few months when things have slowed down for people in terms of academics, or give some more time?

Personally, I vote a mix: give another week or so of grace period, then shelve the idea for a while until we get 1) an actual GM who will organize and run this RP, 2) a broader mix of individual schedules that hopefully have have more free time again, or 3) do some brainstorming on how to get this thing going once it's re-announced so the current problems don't turn up again (and we can start sooner, natch).

:V

Given the total lack of responses to "is anyone actually still interested", I don't think this RP stands a chance as it is. Of course, people can keep anything they've done to submit for next time. I have no problem with continuing to wait, but given that even the GM has not said anything I think we're probably screwed here.

Also, Alice, how exactly are you going to enforce "only people that are absolutely guaranteed to turn a sheet in within a reasonable amount of time can participate"? How do you know if someone is going to turn a sheet in or not until they actually try? Or, do you just mean you'll ask them how it's going?

I'm still interested in this, but at the same time I feel like we could modify the HGW formula a bit to streamline it for RP'ing purposes.
i.e. Go with something more like the 1st-2nd Grail War: less than Seven Master-Servant pairs.

Maybe even make an NPC/GMPC Master-Servant.
Not sure. As usual, I'm full of ideas but not all are good. =P

Post by: Alice on September 15, 2014, 11:11:53 PM
Nah, you're fine Lyco.

And to answer your question, Mike, I mean like with what I said about asking for a status report- IE, doing a roll call to make sure everyone is still there to even turn in the sheets in the first place. If they respond, then they get a reminder about turning sheets in. If there's no response whatsoever in the thread within a few days tops, then they're kicked unless they manage to show up with a good explanation and can guarantee their participation (through the slots would be treated as open, so if they come back too late, then unfortunately that's just how it is).

Also, being stricter with getting the sheets in. IE, if the GM says there's a deadline, unless you have a situation like mine where you're pretty much done anyway and were just waiting on everyone else, if you don't have a sheet in, you're out unless you can produce one before all the slots get filled again.

Does that all make sense?

I'm still interested but like I said before I don't want to join a dead RP.
