I don't suppose -I- could update Sei before round 2, even though he didn't level?

And can anybody help me learn how to play a level 6? I'm so used to downplaying Sei's abilities that when I started treated him at his current level, I was penalized for three conclusions. I'm not complaining, it's a fair judgement, but a lot of it has to do with the fact that I'm so used to not playing my character as if he's level 1-2 that I don't know how strong a level 6 is supposed to be.

[Nayeli]

Yes, it would.

Oh, you just want me to have some cool new skillz 'cause I'm on your team. But okay, speed-update awaaaaay!

I like Atzar's score in T-chamber:

Atzar Kellon –

Story: 17/30
Character: 17/30
Writing Style: 17/30
Wildcard: 17/30
Total: 56/100

He's all special and gets a wildcard out of 30, while everyone else only gets out of 10! Luckily it's just a typo though, since his actual score doesn't reflect the inflated wildcard numbers, but it still caught me off guard as I was reading everyone's commentary.

Also, like Ataraxis was kind enough to point out, Teric is not dead. Please don't describe him as such, Max, if you can avoid it, because it's fairly crucial to my opening post.

[Ataraxis]

No problem, I'm just a friendly neighborhood nitpicker doing my job.

Atzar Kellon –

Story: 17/30
Character: 17/30
Writing Style: 17/30
Wildcard: 17/30
Total: 56/100

Well, somebody got carried away with copy-paste, eh?

[Kade Underbough]

This basically went as I would have expected. Those that moved on deserved to do so, and I doubled my gold on my Kade and Amaril accounts due to Max's lack of faith. I believe I saved Numbers Guy 1000 gold as well. I can't remember the last time I felt my heart thumping as I was writing post and as the round went on I could feel my writing getting close to back to where it has been in the past. I had a blast.

I'm not sure you'll be able to use him as a level one, though - I asked Dirks about this over AIM about a week ago, and he said I wouldn't be able to level between rounds.

Hopefully he'll post here to clear that up.


Congratulations to everybody who participated, and added congratulations to all those who are advancing. There are a couple of surprises in the next round - and therefore, a couple of surprises that aren't in the next round - but overall I'm happy to be moving on.

Unfortunately, I'm about as useful as a box of tissues in a forest fire now. The next round might be over swiftly for me, unless somebody wants to help me out. [/shameless appeal for mercy]

Honestly, I think the only ones who aren't beat up to hell and back are Godhand and Ataraxis. I mean, Teric survived but from what I understand, he's pretty badly hurt too.

This will be like paraplegics in a fist fight.

[Nayeli]

I guess it doesn't matter much if I get to play as level one or not--the only really relevant update was that my swordsmanship went from "above average" to "skilled." Doesn't really make a huge difference.

I might actually be at an advantage because I'm pretty sure Ulysses will be in good condition. Considering that the lethal/killing wound gets healed, and Ulysses got killed pretty much in one hit, I think I'll have are a couple cuts and bruises. Does that sound right?

[Silence Sei]

Pffff I'm actually in pretty good condition.

Considering that the lethal wound gets healed, and Ulysses got killed pretty much in one hit, I'm pretty sure all I'll have are a couple cuts and bruises.

True enough.

I don't suppose Ul has heard of Sei's exploits as much as he's heard of Letho's, huh?

[Nayeli]

True enough.

Ummmm I doubt it. Would Sei be famous enough to be known to a random fisherman on Scara Brae?

Nonetheless, I think a Letho/Sei/Ulysses alliance would work quite well.
