What you guys may not know is the new rule regarding the tournament this year. For every 48 hours a player does not post, the scoring judge takes a point off from that player's wildcard score. So if your original wildcard was going to be a 5, but you did not post within 48 hours, the scoring judge will give it a 4. This rule was made to promote quicker activity in the forum, and prevent the use of making an incredible introductory post, only to stall until the last minute. Your points won't be counted off if you finish your match before the the two week time slot is finished, but please be sure to PM the judge of the tournament, [http://www.althanas.com/world/member.php?30-Silence-Sei"]Silence Sei], so your points aren't taken away due to a misunderstanding. |

It had served as the first of many introductions to the history of the guild and the factions which opposed it. If Ace accepted the offer firmly then the next stage of initiation could begin. “You have seen what you would be up against, and who will oppose you. You are now more familiar with the guild and all the hardships that operating it will bring. I can’t say it will be easy,” he flicked his hair behind his ears and set the tips of his fingers together in an inquisitive pose. “Will you take The Oath, Ace Mandelo. Will you take what was offered to you on that crimson ship what seems like many moons ago?” In earnest Blank swallowed a lump in his throat and hoped that all his trust had not been misplaced."</p></div> |

Coarse grasses and bracken clung to whatever nutrients the thin soil could provide, a rugged carpet of dull greens and browns that looked even more miserable in the dour weather. The snow-capped mountains in the west towered above anything in the vicinity, while a heavy fog obscured the entirety of the forest to the south.
