Challenges!

[Christoph]

Shinigamy: It would probably be best to wait until you know the results of your last battle before making another challenge.

I got this.

I know in your intro thread you mentioned wanting some pointers about writing since you're new. I'm all about helping new guys, so if you like I can give you some comments on each of your posts throughout the battle. We used to have a feature like that way back in the day. So like I'll post an intro, then you respond, and in my next post I'll make some comments about your post before my post, rinse, repeat. That way you don't have to wait on the judgment. Let me know if you want me to do that.

Also, gimme a couple days to get the thread up because school is kinda swamping me right now.

[Tenmatsu Tenimi]

Sorahn, that would be a big help for me, and thank you for taking your time to both help me and grant me a battle.

[Sorahn]

No problem at all.

Let's do this. (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=17327)

Good luck.

[Ebivoulya]

I talked to Christoph about my tie with Ira, and he thought it fair to decree I could still challenge up, but not take her position. Therefore, I challenge a Master.

Character Name: Nyadir D'Var
Challenging Rank: Master
Challenging Player: 016573

[Christoph]

Numbers has exceeded the time limit placed on accepting specific challenges.

Ebivoulya: You are free to assume his position if you'd like (though you would need to win a battle as Master before challenging up any further), issue another challenge, or continue to wait on Numbers.

[Ebivoulya]

I'd really like to fight him, it seems like a good challenge. I'll wait until the end of this week. If he still hasn't responded, I guess I'll take his position.

It's been well beyond the time limit for accepting your challenge. I even sent ANM a PM to let him know. Therefore, you may either take his position or challenge another Warrior instead.


F.Necroticans: You might have far better luck with a specific challenge.

[Drago Tenmatsu]

I know this may make me sound like a pompiss asshole but I'd love to take his position. Thank you for this oppertunity in the Pagoda

[Christoph]

Pfft. Nothing pompous about it. You came to the Pagoda to battle, and this is one of the ways to do it. (Pssst... you could even accept F.Necroticans's challenge) I'll add you to the roster. Good luck with your Pagoda career!

[Drago Tenmatsu]

Character Name: Damien Avetritus Aequitas
Challenging Rank: Warrior
Challenging Player: -


I hereby accept your challenge, I will try to have a post up within the next 24 hours.

[Taskmienster]

Due to the fact that The Forgotten as timed out, by a very long time, I would like to request that I be allowed to challenge another warrior in order to gain the position through an actual fight instead of default... not sure if that's allowed.

Character Name: Ethan "Lars" Calhoun
Challenging Rank: Master
Challenging Player: Whoever is most active, please please please.

Thank you.

[Christoph]

You can either assume Forgotten's position, or you may challenge another Warrior. Either way, nobody can challenge up to a Master until they have at least one non-default win at the Warrior level (either as a challenger or a Hierarch) Alternatively, you can try to revive the dead battle and bring it to at least ten posts so that it can be judged.

Fey Leor http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=17459

[Ataraxis]

Just a question... shouldn't the Warrior position actually belong to your Drago account?

I'm guessing it doesn't really matter, since you didn't actually fight with Drago and could have challenged ANM with this account just as easily... but then we'd probably have to edit the Warrior listing with the right account in that case.

[Tenmatsu Tenimi]

Actually in a way, from my understanding, both of the accounts are legit on the list

For Drago Tenmatsu, ANM timed out and couldnt accept in time.

For Tenmatsu, Sorahn over timed 2 weeks, but that battle is still on anyway.

[Ataraxis]

The fact that it's still underway would mean that you have decided not to let the overtime count. That would mean that no, Tenmatsu is not eligible. I'd advise you to finish that battle first if you do want Sorahn's position, since as he told you, you'd just end up being challenged again by him shortly after. Moreover, you only had an arena approved for Drago, yet you used the same for Tenmatsu.

[Tenmatsu Tenimi]

I'm sorry actually. It's just I'm not doing this on purpose, it is just I have alot on my mind and I get confused easily and sometimes forget what account I am on. I would like a chance to change it, if I knew how.

[Taskmienster]

The error occurred with the acceptance of the battle by the wrong account, thought the battles were started with Drago. The original list has Drago on it as a master, with Tenmatsu as challenging Sorahn. Both battles claimed, by F. Necro and Fay were started by Drago as well. I think Fay made the mistake of asking for Tenmatsu, who is the same person as Drago, and he accepted as Tenmatsu, but the battle is set up as Drago vs. Fay anyway.

No harm done, no rules broken, just a confusion of accounts. I'd suggest being careful in the future to log as the account that can and is accepting, only due to the fact that it helps other players that don't know about the different accounts... especially since you have two characters involved and all.

[Ataraxis]

Well, it might be my eyes, but...

http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=17436 - Teachings of Death : Tenmatsu Tenimi Vs F. Necroticans. It's started by Tenmatsu, and the character used is Tenmatsu.

http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=17459 - Teachings of death : Tenmatsu Tenimi Vs Fey Leor. Started on the Drago account, but as the character Tenmatsu.

So yes, Fay asked for the wrong account, but Drago, the actual warrior on the list, isn't participating in any battle while Tenmatsu, who's not on the list and who hasn't completed his battle yet, is participating in two.

I don't mean this message as a means to snipe, far from it. I just think this issue isn't without repercussions, and that it should be solved somehow.

The easiest way I can think of is to simply switch Drago with Tenmatsu's account on the Warrior Roster, as he attained that rank by no-show, which means there'll be no impact ICly. When his battle against Sorahn is over, the results should simply determine whether he can challenge up to warrior, or retain his position as the replacement for his Drago account.

And Tenmatsu, don't sweat it. This is just a matter of reorganizing things, not of forcing you to start from scratch. This shouldn't take much longer to resolve.

[Tenmatsu Tenimi]

Ok, I know this is a stupid question, but how is that done? like how would I or someone else switch the characters around?

Wait, just change them on the roster for the Pagoda? or is it more then just that?

[Christoph]

What exactly do you want to do, again, and why?

Since apparently everyone else is dead, I'll take this. Don't want to leave you hangin. ;)

Thread will be up in a bit.

EDIT: I'm going to have to un-claim this. Really sorry but final exams are next week for me and my grades are on edge in literally all of my classes. I will be effectively dead to Althanas for the next week. If this challenge is still available after that then I'll reclaim it but until then I want to leave it open for anyone who is more active than me.

[Chandra]

That's okay. I have finals too.

Happy Birthday by the way.

Numbers! I hereby accept your challenge... since I assume I'm a warrior and all with my battle going dead (along with all the other battles haha). I'll have the post up today. I'm overburdening myself though with threads and mod duties, so if you agree to it can we forgo the 72 hour necessity if need be?

Challenge accepted. Should have a thread up soon.

[Bloodrose]

Are there any active Warriors other than Task? Guy's active, but he can't prop this place up on his own.

Anyone?

Anyone?

Bueller?

*sigh*

Recruitment drive anyone?

[Trago]

Well if no one accepts my challenge by Saturday, I'm gonna just reside and just forget about it.

[Iriah Caitrak]

I'm active... I think.

[Taskmienster]

I was wondering the same thing... I mean I think one other person accepted a battle, but I can't start every battle with everyone, haha. Though the streak would be nice gains. :p

[Trago]

Well someone accept my battle already? I'm an impatient person... >:)

[Iriah Caitrak]

Well, I'm active, but taking on a battle with time constraints is difficult considering my three to four hour workload a night, so I've only been accepting direct challenges, but no one has been challenging my account so I haven't had to worry. If the time constraints for posting were lifted, I might feel a little more comfortable grabbing some challenges.

[Taskmienster]

Yeah my time constrains are killing me too. On top of activity here I have 5 classes, 3 exams this week, and 2 10+ page research papers due in a couple weeks... -_-

[Trago]

god damm ! i knew this would take forever.... now im getting pissy

[Iriah Caitrak]

Maybe we should consider lengthening the time on posting for the pagoda, or something...

[Trago]

Well i dont care what happens as long as i get to fight someone... but that does sound a good idea.

[Iriah Caitrak]

You can either calm down and wait for someone to accept your challenge, or go to The Citadel, either way makes no difference to me.

[Trago]

fine, I'll go to the Citadel but i keep my challege request open still.

[Christoph]

Trago: Chill. I'm working on addressing the lack of active Pagoda Warriors. You'll get a battle one way or another. No need to get all worked up. ;)

Everyone else: Don't forget that during the school year, it's four days to post instead of three. Also, if both battlers agree to forgo the time rules, I won't say no.

[Iriah Caitrak]

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks Christoph. ^_^

[Trago]

Im sorry, im kinda having a bad day so please excuse me.

[Iriah Caitrak]

Well, I think I have the time to do this, so I accept your challenge Trago. I should have the thread up within a few days.

If you want to forgo the time constraints on the thread, that would be a big help to me. But if not, it doesn't matter.

[Trago]

Time restraints are off, in any match i'm in. even when i become a member of the pagoda im gonna state no time restraints.

Thank you.

[Christoph]

Well, as you can see, we're a bit short on Warriors at this moment. However, should both you and Ariana be willing, the two of you could battle against each other, with the winner assuming a position as Warrior.

[Ariana]

That's an idea Chris. But then what about the arena? Who picks that? But anyway I'm all up for it.

[Christoph]

Well, if Math agrees to the notion, you could come up with the arena, since you've been waiting longer. It would only be for this battle, though. Afterwards, the winner would need to register an arena officially.

[Ariana]

Alright thanks Cristoph. I'll think of one and tell you later about it ok?

[The Mathemagician]

I'm perfectly fine with Ariana coming up with a makeshift arena for this battle. Doesn't matter to me. And I like the idea of both of us battling for the empty warrior position, it makes sense. Just PM me when you have a thread up, Ariana. Thanks ;D

[Ariana]

Anytime. It will be up by midnight est. that gives me 7 hours to think of one. it is 5 pm here now. so im gonna get right to work on it.

Bam! Crisis averted. Have fun, you two.

Noted the challenge, Kahne. I just need my arena approved, I believe, then we can get things moving. I expect a post up by tomorrow.

[Fireball Fran]

Well at the time I don't have time to post and everything. So yeah, Idk if i can really.

[Christoph]

Then why did you issue a challenge? o.0

[Fireball Fran]

Well at the time I had time. But work is kicking up for me and I won't have alot of time.

Well I got a call today saying I'm needed at work more then usual so yeah not gonna have time.

[Quentin Boone]

Fey Leor, I'll take you up on your challenge. A post will be up at one point over the weekend.

You and Forgotten are welcome to fight it out for one of the remaining empty Warrior slots if you'd like.

[Lord Anglekos]

I'd be up to that. Forgotten?

[The Forgotten]

Eh... I'd accept the fight, but if I win, I'd like the option of being able to challenge up straight away as well. I'm not really enthused by holding a warrior position at the moment.

[Christoph]

That sounds fair. Have fun, you two. Good luck.

Challenge Accepted.

Prepare for a real fight. It'll be my first actual fight in the pagoda that doesn't die out. haha.

[Taskmienster]

Sorry for the double post...

Are there any challenges that haven't been accepted yet? I was trying to make sure, but it seems that the people battle each other for open slots in the Warrior rank have made it a little harder to figure out.

Fey Leor had one with Quentin, but I didn't see it up.

Also, a side note, is there any way that we could work on getting some of the incomplete's out of the way? There are 3 pages, on my settings at least, of battles in the Pagoda. I think maybe 4-6 of those battles are actually active. It would clear up who can and can't be challenged, as well as who's won what (for win counts, though they are due to inactivity, as well as gambling).

[Christoph]

Good call. I'll clear through them tomorrow when I get a minute. It's good to see the Pagoda active again.

[Lord Anglekos]

My opponent in this (http://althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=18844) thread has not responded in more than ten days, and as per the inactivity rules stated I win by default. However, instead of moving up to Warrior position I would rather take the 50 experience points per post compensation for my efforts, again as stated in the Dajas Pagoda rules.

[Christoph]

Noted. Sorry that your battle died. It was shaping up to be good.

[Lord Anglekos]

Aye. There was going to be tentacle rape and everything. Oh, well. Sad face.

Well I'm back and i thought maybe i should restart where i first started. Not to mention i enjoy the way you grade and analyze the fights from the first one, I'm hoping my skills have vastly improved since my Fight with breaker... just wish he was still in the pagoda for a grudge fight, even though i know I would probably lose considering his level now.

[Taskmienster]

Man... I know you've been waiting longer, and I'm sorry I didn't get to this when I first noticed it. If you're still around feel free to post in here and I'll accept your challenge.

Devonus I'll accept your challenge, I'll work on the post for the battle in the next day or two. Probably have it up tomorrow since it's my day off.

I noticed that the Pagoda is little more than a bloated corpse. My dastardly plan is to rise through it's dead ranks to the position of Grandmaster without making a single IC post.

I hope I fail.
