Want to talk smack, make predictions or generally comment about the Cell? Well this is your invitation to do so. Seriously, what good is a tournament that we don't get hyped up about.
A few things from me: we have 5 open spots left, so join! If the tournament fills up before Monday, I'll probably get things cracking a bit early. Also, just because I'm feeling generous, here (http://web.archive.org/web/20040113035257/www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3478&perpage=15&pagenumber=1) is a link to the Sione Chamber of old (the last time I ran the Cell) to give you fools an idea of what you're getting into.
So, is anyone going to take some potshots at Dirks?

Potshots?
Yes, no doubt, if I get to you alive after taking out some pain clauses on several other individuals first :P

I want you guys to know that I am not restricted by the 24 hour rule, only you. Though I will do my best to post frequently, I'm really just there to remove inactive players (and I'm judging). Keep that in mind before you end up relying on a response from me that never comes. That's why I used the term potshot as opposed to attack.

How isthis judged, out of interest? If it is a way to 'gain massive experience quicker than normal' as you say, how does it work?

Because since it's not a traditional battle with a defined winning score and a defined losing score, the EXP amounts are largely arbitrary. I happen to be rather liberal with my distribution curve as to reward those who stuck with it. It's hard work posting every day when you have to read one post. Reading through (ideally) 12 posts, taking note of every detail and replying is tough work. Where I come from folks get rewarded for tough work.
Mwhahah! My ability to chat shit and speed post is finally rewarded!

That is, if the hot red head hes supposedly marrying doesn't bean him over the head for choosing favorites.
Hey, what happens in the Cell, stays in the Cell.
So, with only three spots left, we're getting a pretty good idea who our potential enemies are. Any favorites, everybody? Anyone in specific you (don't) want in your cell?
I think that, with the 1post/24h rule, activity more than anything will determine the winners in this tournament. There are a lot of great writers on the list, people like Christoph and Bloodrose and The Numbers Guy (yes, I still refuse to type those random fucking numbers), but right now I'm just not certain whether they'll be able to keep up the pace, whether because of time constrains or lack of inspiration. Hell, I'm not certain I'll be able to keep up the pace. So this Cell really is anyone's game. But people who are crazy active like Duffy and who can speedpost like Pat, I think they'll have the advantage here.
I don't want to be in a Cell with Letho, Bushido, Lorenor, Ulysses or Dissinger...

Afraid? Why? Your participating in an event with some of the best writers this site has. If anything, that alone is reason enough to get excited. There is no better chance to get better as a writer, or improve upon your character, than now, when you have a chance to match wits with the best.
Sure, you might not win, or place very high, but the best lessons can only be found in defeat, and not victory. So take heart, you can only come out of this a better writer, with perhaps a bit more depth to your character than you had going in.
It is for those two reasons alone, that I'm excited enough to have difficulty sleeping.
Yeah, echoing what Esmerelda said, no need to worry about losing or winning, that isn't the point! The point is to have fun and become a better writer. :)
I'm awfully excited too, I think this is going to be enormous fun.
P.S. When's the gambling going to start?

04-09-10, 03:50 PM
See, here's where the 'gang up on big guy' strategy fails.
Lets say Letho can take out 6 people alone.
There are 12 people in the cell, Letho is 1, that makes it 11 who can attack him.
Letho taking out 6 makes 5 people left.
A person around half of Letho's level can say, take out 3 people alone. He's distracted with said three which takes four people out of the fight against Letho.
Leaving only one difference maker.
However if that mid and Letho join forces for some reason, the other ten combatants are totally screwed.
In other words.... let me look up Letho's profile and see if Sei would actually ally with him XD.
Tainted Bushido
04-09-10, 03:54 PM
I can see it now. Seth makes it to the final cage, only to join Sei and Letho.
Chaos ensues as they go about moping up the other contestants, then turn their gaze to the true villain.
Max Dirks....we're coming for YOU!
Silence Sei
04-09-10, 03:56 PM
I like it. Since Dirks is one of Sei's primary reasons for joining :P.
And after words, Sei can pick up Duffy's body and talk woith him about joining The Nine XD
Man, I wish it were that easy. If that was the case, I'd ally myself with two other people and use Letho's ability to heal by touch every time they got seriously hurt (not to mention, keep them fresh for the final cage). However, since the best writers shall progress, here's my prediction of who'll get through from each group. Keep in mind, I'm terrible at predictions.
Cell 1
Duffy Bracken - I haven't seen his level of activity since Shyam, and activity is what you need in the Cell. On top of that, he's a very good writer, so I think he easily goes through, regardless of his character level. I might actually put some money on him, maybe even to take the whole thing.
Silence Sei - Granted, I'm not very familiar with his writing, but he's been very active since he's come back. And he's old school. Shit, I remember him judging one of my quests while I was still like level zero. O_o
Ataraxis - We all know he can write some pretty amazing stuff. But can he keep up the pace? I think so.
? - Yes, I'm still undecided on the fourth spot. Could be the Numbers Dude, though he's so fresh out of inactivity that his keyboard probably creaks every time he pushes a button. Could be Task, since he can bring it if he feels inspired enough. Could be one of the Wild Cards, like that Amen fellow who seems like a solid writer. Could be myself if I manage to push myself to post every day.
Cell 2
Dissinger - You know he can post every day. Actually, he can probably finish the entire battle in a day. If he keeps his eye on the ball, he's in the finals for certain.
Ulysses - Never you mind she's level zero. She's active on like three accounts that I know of and will definitely put up a fight. This entire shindig might end up being decided between her and Duffy. They're part of the new wave. Beware.
Christoph - He's definitely good enough to win this thing, but is he stubborn enough to last to the very end? Maybe so, unless he gets bored. :P
? - If this was like a year ago, I'd go with Bloodrose without thinking about it. But right now, he's in the same basket as the Random Numbers. Might do awesome, might get shot in the head by Dirks. Atzar Kellon is also good, and he's been active lately, but active enough? We'll have to see. Chosen of the Gods and Riftslayer both have a chance as well, regardless of the fact that they're level zero.
Flattery will get you...
Everywhere! :p

According to the bracket on the sign up page, I get a free ride until the very end. We should use that.
According to that bracket, I get to fight Dirks. So technically, if I get to him in time and knock him out, we can all take it easy and post whenever we want because there will be nobody to shoot us in the face if we don't post within 24h. :P
Liquid time and shiny name so no-no.

Predictions?
Christoph, Dissinger, Duffy, Ataraxis for sure. They can post consistently. Numbers and Bloodrose are going to rock the house and really get in a few good death scenes based off them, but as Letho said they may not be able to post because of...ya know...life.
Sorry Letho, but I just don't see you moving on
:D
The Trap Master
04-09-10, 06:38 PM
Duffy, Diss, Ata, Letho, Christoph and probably the numbers guy are my top ones to take it to the finals.
Which is okay, as long as Sei and Duffy establish what they need to in order to have Duffy join The Nine.
On a totally somehwhat related note, which characters abilities/magics do you think will hold the biggest advantage in The Cell? I'd like to hear some opinions.
Sei only has two actual spells, but if he pulls them both off at the right time they could be outright devastating.
Tainted Bushido
04-09-10, 06:59 PM
In terms of Dissinger;
Malice is a waste, he has to REALLY hate someone to have that do anything beyond tickle.
Pain has already caused havoc in one Cell.
Sowing Salt rarely gets used, since he got Ebony and Ivory back and they're permanently enchanted with it.
Slow will come in handy if he starts getting overwhelmed.
Stop though, is just too situational. Requires there to be only one person left other than him.
Seven Deaths could be fun. I almost got Shadar to die from it.
Sin Harvest though, I doubt I'll have the chance to use it.
Christoph
04-09-10, 07:00 PM
I have some predictions based mostly on writing quality. Granted, actual writing quality matters less in the Cell than any other kind of tournament (between the time constraints on posts and the fact that the judgments will be likely at least somewhat arbitrary given the number of participants per battle), so I may be way off.
Cell One:
Ataraxis: No question here. He'll probably dominate the battle, writing-wise.
Letho: Unless he defaults or really drops the ball on his writing, he'll probably move on.
Numbers: Same as Letho.
Taskmeinster: He's not the best in Cell One, but if he sticks with it he should be able to squeeze by round one.
Cell Two:
Christoph: That's me, of course. I have enough free time and stubbornness to stick it out. I've never defaulted in a tournament before, and I don't plan on starting now.
Bloodrose: He's my most even match on the site, I'd say (our Magus Cup battle was extremely close), so he'll definitely go through as long as he gets enough posts in.
Atzar: He himself will admit to not being the world's greatest writer, but he's active lately and competent enough to make it.
Dissinger, Arsene, or Ulysses: Arsene is a good writer when he tries, but him trying seems unlikely. I'm leaning toward Dissinger because of his experience, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Ulysses come out ahead.
*
As for abilities: Elijah's magic can quite easily lay waste to basically everything he sees. Like I said in a previous post, if he got too bored, he would be very capable of turning all the lower-level characters into red mist. The likes of Bloodrose would give him a hard time, though. Probably not Dissinger though, because I seem to remember him being very vulnerable to fire.
Dissinger, Arsene, or Ulysses: Arsene is a fan-fucking-tastic writer when? Always. But him being sexy is likely.
When I see a typo, I need to fix it.
I also like mad-libs.
Seth's Gift of the Magi can be a pain in the neck (and I would know this from all the times I fought him). Just when you think you finally took care of him, wham! he's fully healed. And you have to do it all over again. Add the fact that he feels no pain, and you've got one annoying son of a bitch that takes the hits and keeps on coming. :P
Bloodrose looks like trouble. That fucker is fast and agile, everything that Letho's not. If we ever get to clash, it would be a battle of two completely different melee philosophies.
The Numbers Guy is virtually indestructible. I think his muscles are like titanium or something and his skeleton also some other metal or something. On top of that, he has a gun and some armor piercing bullets. And he can make a pretzel out of you if you get too close.
I'm not very familiar with Ataraxis' form of magic, but I guess it has something to do with like threads and weaving and other freaky shit, and you can always be creative with that.
All I've got is sheer dexterity and agility (to run away, I wasn't joking you know!) a magic dagger which won't be updated in time, the ability to sing songs from other planets oh, oh, oh!
AND I CAN DANCE FUCKERS! YEAHHHH!!1111

Look at you. I'm surprised you found the time to sign up, what with being so busy giving your alts 'religious experiences' with your mary sue main while simultaneously jacking it, JACKING IT RAW, to your own ill-conceived sex scenes.
Wait, what am I doing? Here, let me just copy-paste your appearance from your profile. It's so fucking telling that it blows any insult I could throw at you out of the water forever.
Joshua Cronen is a magnificent physical specimen. Although he weighs over two hundred and fifty pounds due to the density of his body, he looks like a man of one hundred and eighty five pounds. He has a fine golden-brown tan and a healthy pallor even when under extreme stress or pain, and muscle definition to match the ancient Greek gods. His hair is kept close cropped despite the rough stubble on his chin. He is broad shouldered, with long limbs and large hands and feet, a powerful man in every respect. When open his eyes frequently radiate an unnervingly wise calm.
This shit goes on for like three more paragraphs. Seriously, go check it out. It's fucking sublime.

Mary Sues are actually not terribly common in recent times, as far as I've seen. Older more powerful characters from early Althanas have more of a tendency to be such, since they weren't surrounded by giants.
Characters these days tend to be more modest. For example, Visla is a fairly unlikable tragedy protagonist, even after she gained all her levels, powerless to change a world that is totally indifferent to her.

And my own character who fucks up all the time.
But that said, he is, regardless of if I want him to be, a projection of myself... just not completely awesome. That said, there are probably lots of definitions of what constitutes a Mary Sue character. I would say that it is a description of what the writer wants to be, and the more perfect that character, the more they are a truer reflection of their wants. They can also embody feelings, such as the want to be different, feeling they haven't got what they deserve, etc.
All that said, I don't think a Mary Sue automatically means they are badly written or thought out, so I hope no one quoted below gets cut.
Anyway, to prove my point, the four most recent approved characters:
Oden proved himself to be quiet, private, and deviously intelligent. He delighted in philosophical debates with visiting nobles, and it was no secret that he took joy in outsmarting the servants and townspeople, though never to anyone’s detriment.
.....
Tobias enrolled his son [Oden] in the university in the city of Scara Brae under the pretense of fostering Oden’s powers. In fact, he was sending the boy away in the hopes that the controversy would die down, and the smear on the Steel legacy might be forgotten.
.....
Perhaps as a result of his unknown lineage, Oden is naturally a strong and physically fit man, despite an easy life. He can lift and carry 1.5 times his weight, but he is unaccustomed to and disinclined toward hard labor and will tire quickly, if he chooses to exert himself at all.
Oden’s threshold for pain is exceptionally high for a human being, and he can endure a great deal of punishment before succumbing to pain, exhaustion, or unconsciousness.
Intellegent, Tall, Good Looking, natural at magic, problems at home, mystery in his past, etc.
Silmeria grew up in the order and has been raised and trained in its ways since she was very young. .... dawn the robes and play it out as a ‘priestess’ most of that was a matter of convince.
long auburn hair .... Human through and through the only odd out of the ordinary fact is her eye color a stark unnatural red .... she’s quiet and calm until she finds herself under the attention of others or under scrutiny in which that sharp wit and over thinking generally gets her in trouble
Raised in an order, but does her own thing (ie, too cool 4 school). Odd eye color, calm and quiet, yet with a sharp wit. I would bet that she is able to get out of that trouble she gets in pretty easily.
*Personality:
Vadeo trusts no one, and he probably never will after what happen to him. He is always emotionless unless the situation calls for emotions. He has enough experience to know when he is being lied too, and he hates liers and cheaters. He is a very confident, and determined person, so if he wants something, he's going to get it.
A very handsome drow. He has chiseled features, and he has the looks of a noble about him. He does look rough as of right now because of him living off wild. He is tall and lithe with muscles all over his body from his many years in the armed forces.
....
Vadeo had everything. As a child, his father rose in prominence among the aristocracy of Alerar, and made himself a powerful name .... He was cherished by his father and mother .... Some of the more powerful sorcerers, and the higher ranking generals saw him to be a threat. So, naturally, they destroyed his family with nothing short of a army of socerers and soldiers and then stripped Vadeo of his rank, his money, and his powers as a sorcerer.
Strong, knows whats going on around him, physically amazing and terribly wronged.
Coel is handsome with well defined cheeks and a chiseled chin. His muscles are well toned. His hair is ear length and combed back into a wave. He has a perfect smile and a deep voice. In short, there is an air of royalty above him.
Also is a rightful air to a throne, blessed by a god, physically handsome, etc.

Vogon Poetry is described as "the third worst poetry in the Universe". The main example used in the story is a short piece composed by Jeltz, which roughly emulates nonsense verse in style (example below). The story relates that listening to it is an experience similar to torture as demonstrated when Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect are forced to listen to the poetry (and say how much they liked it) prior to being thrown out of an airlock.

In all truth, lower level characters do have one thing going for them, and that's dying early. Technically, you can wrap everything up in a week, together with a pretty effective death scene and get a better score because of the conclusion, whereas the stronger character have to keep it up for the full duration of the round. And more posts means more chances to screw something up, and not to mention get disqualified because of the post/24h rule. Just a thought.

Logic/Common Sense/Reason < Max DirksWhat's funny is that today in Remedies class we read Walker v. City of Birmingham. It's the case that put Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. into jail for contempt. Basically the Court decided that even though the injunction Dr. King violated was subject to a substantial constitutional question (i.e. was probably unconstitutional), his contempt was upheld to maintain the integrity of the court's injunction power. To allow Dr. King to violate the injunction would make it inherently worthless. In other words, sometimes what is logical isn't always what's best.
For the record, I've been very flexible with this situation: 1) I allowed Rayse to participate in the tournament though he was supposed to be banned from it following his actions in the Magus Cup; and 2) I Helped Rayse find a work around my own rules (akin to Sorjax and Mist in the LCC) so that he could still participate as his desired character and I could uphold the integrity of the tournament. Furthermore, what many of you don't know is that I expressly told Rayse he could not swap his character, but he went ahead and did it anyway. He then took a minor issue and turned it into a public spectacle to get what he wanted (for what I suspect was to have a stronger character against some of the big wigs that joined the tournament). His inability to choose a character for the tournament is not my problem despite his attempts to make it such.

That sort of insubordination is simply unacceptable on the site.
And since when has Rayse ever shown the integrity necessary to do him any favors? You let go of the wolf's ears and he turned around and bit you. What do you expect?
In fact, he did the same exact thing when he didn't get what he wanted with the Cell as he did with the last tournament he was in with Task, and another administrator had to deal with it. This honestly shouldn't come as any surprise to you.

By the way, these rules you speak of consist of anything that comes out of your mouth. When you say something, it doesn't have to be written, it's already law. No matter how ridiculous or pointless they are, you treat them as if you say them and then immediately find an ancient tablet with the exact same thing written on them. You're so much like Santh it's scary. Insubordination; Holy Shit.
I can't stop laughing at your analogy. Dr. King? Does the irony not slap you in the face?

So, according to your analogy, you admit the rule was stupid but decided to enforce it anyway to maintain the integrity of the tournament?
Do you realize how silly that sounds? A writing message board on the fucking internet has integrity? If I insult it will you challenge me to pistols at dawn?
By the way, these rules you speak of consist of anything that comes out of your mouth. When you say something, it doesn't have to be written, it already law. No matter how ridiculous or pointless they are, you treat them as if you say them and then immediately find an ancient tablet with the exact same thing written on them. You're so much like Santh it's scary. Insubordination; Holy Shit.
I can't stop laughing at your analogy. Dr. King? Does the irony not slap you in the face?

To quote Godhand, the grapes are SO SOUR.
I cannot even perceive your post as words, just a long "BAWWWWWWWW" noise.
To make a different legal analogy, Rayse was a tenant at sufferance in this tournament, having no rights to it whatsoever based on past misconduct. That he was permitted at all is a mere gratuity and no cause of action can arise for its modification or retraction. Maybe if he had stuck around long enough, he could have adversely possessed his position, but as soon as he became open and notorious about it, Max evicted him.
Case dismissed. Plaintiff fails to state a claim on which relief can be granted.

04-15-10, 02:34 PM
Me? Have it out for you? Why, that would just be incredibly petty and weird.
I agree with Godhand. Things should be made easier for newer members to give them more incentive to stay. It'd boost activity and you'd probably get more members who are willing to stay here long term when they have a bit more lee way instead of trying to write to the standard. Level zeroes have the hardest time as a member on this site when they have little lee way in what they can do and older members treat them like shit because they're new. They should be the target audience here when it comes to boosting activity since the overwhelming majority of the Althanian populace are level zeroes. Most of the new folks won't stick around to put up with this bullshit when they can go elsewhere to get what they want with far less hassle. Which they do and will continue to do until a change is made.
I think the problem with this issue stems from a lot of people being full of themselves after hearing from so many people that this site is the best around. If it ain't broke, why fix it, right? Then why is activity at an all time low and thread submissions not quite as high as they once were? Why are there far less new people willing to become regulars here then there were a couple of years ago? Why are there so many people unwilling to stay?
This is a website that prides itself on being a writing community and a game, and in order to keep up with the times you need to be able to sell yourself. But, if any of you are unwilling to bend or accept that fact, then Althanas will go the way of the dinosaurs. Unless of course someone keeps footing the bill to keep this site going past it's expiration date. (See; Now.)
What's the argument for not doing this? Not wanting a more active Althanas? Not try to get members here to stay and become regulars? If you honestly want to stick to putting up the tough front for easing some of the restrictions for level zeroes while you're scrounging for activity and then end up scratching your heads as to why people are leaving in droves, then go for it.
But, in the end, I completely endorse people who want to put their heads in the sand to keep doing it. Maybe you'll suffocate and make way for more rational and reasonable people who are willing to admit what is being done is probably wrong and a change is needed in order to find a fix to Althanas's erosion.

Oh, you guys. You so crazy. I really don't care enough to argue in detail over this stupid issue. I will just say that I wouldn't have cared in the slightest if Rayse had been allowed to switch to his main. He hadn't posted yet, and it won't give him any unfair advantage over the other players. Nobody would be hurt. Personally, I would appreciate that safety net in case I ever decided to enter a tournament under a different character, only to get inspiration-raped at the last minute. Were I in Max's shoes, I would prefer more, better activity from the player to upholding arbitrary rules.
But hey, administration incompetence and e-peen waving is hardly new. It's like a dead animal on the side of a busy highway. I'm surprised people even notice anymore.

You're in the tournament, Rayse, get on with it. If you can't perceive a way to defeat the higher level opponents then frankly, you won't succeed with Neville or your main. It's not that much about what Max does or doesn't say (and you were banned, remember that).
Make an alliance, be a tricksy dick, run and hide, bring your game. Fight in the Cell and stop running into Visla and Saxon's caltrops, it ain't pretty.

Don't be dense, Duffy. Rayse isn't really a combat character, so I couldn't think of a way to justify him being there, so I just threw my alt in. Later I realized I could just liquid time Rayse there using some plot device and it would all work out conceptually.
Actually, no, let's go with the previous notion of me being terrified by the big mean higher-level players.

You're starting to catch on. PRO TIP: The victim isn't you or us.
I don't know, quitting the staff and then immediately chain-posting criticisms does carry the scent of bitterness. An actual troll would likely do it for the sake of it, not some sort of twisted revenge.

I'm really disappointed at how little posting was done while I was out. Saxon's right though, whatever Duffy's therapist did for him is doing wonders. I'm sure he still cries himself to sleep some nights, but at least his tears don't stain the board.
And Rayse, you gotta keep up. Trolls can't dwell on the past, it really compromises our ability to be hypocritical. And always edit your post if you think of something better to say, even moreso if you can do it within the timer for the forum not to show it as an edit. Then everyone who quotes you looks stupid and people get confused.
It's win-win, in the sense that I win twice.

Do you think that it might be a good idea to create separate discussion threads for each of the different chambers, restricted to only people participating in that specific Cell? One "Treslizn Chamber Discussion" and one "Aequitas Chamber Discussion" or somesuch.
For one, stuff that is important and on topic seems to be getting lost in here under all the muck, especially questions from new members that actually need to be answered. For another, it would do wonders to keep on the topic of the Cell. As it is, if I want to communicate with the other members of Treslizn to organize stuff, I have no idea what to do. Send out a group PM? I doubt many of them are wading through pages and pages of nonsense to find the occasional relevant post.

The Cell is an endurance test. If you can't page through 22 pages of trolling, e-peen measuring, and rules arguing, you're not man enough to win or even comment about winning!
More seriously: Two threads would just be two places to check. There's a significant cooldown on my Ruin Thread ability. I'll be powerless for a few days.
I won't. Unlike Visla, I've the endurance of a bull elephant in heat. I could go for weeks.
I myself have read every post in this thread. I'm only concerned about newer members with a lower tolerance for this sort of thing, who might potentially have valid questions and might end up scared away (potentially even from the site) by all this nonsense. Plus older members who might actually want to, shockingly, talk about the Cell.
I'd also suggest that if two new threads are made, people who aren't even participating in the Cell be barred from posting in them.

I think threads where you can post questions and clarifications and ONLY questions and clarifications are fine. But you probably only need one because it's going to be dead quiet.
So, several people are inactived out of the tournament already. Who wants to bet on the Killed : DQed from Inactivity ratio? I'd say somewhere inbetween 1:1 and 1:2...
Not just questions and clarifications, I was thinking just more like...actually talking about the Cell. But if this thread is going to get on topic that works too.

Honestly, setting it 24 hours after your last post is silly. Just have 24-hour periods that begin when the tournament begins, and require participants to post at least once during each of those allotments. That way, you don't risk getting screwed by making your first post too early, or because you're waiting for a specific opponent to post.
