I don't think I'm going to attend these meetings anymore. If I build anything interesting, I'll inform whoever is in charge of the respective project but I'm just going to stay out of the meetings from now on. Is that alright?
Eh sometimes I pick the wrong word for stuff. Sue me. o3o
Anyway, it's probably not the project I'd be a huge part of. I don't know much about the... um... god (tries to remember word for it), shit. Architecture? Scenery? Whatever. I don't know much about Touhou-builds. The only places I can think of off the top of my head are SDM, Eientei, whatever Yuyuko's place is called and the Palace of Earth Spirits. And I'm pretty sure there's builders that can do a way better job than I can at those kinds of builds.
I'd like to help with the construction, but I'm not an idea man in this department. Give me orders and put me to work, and then things should run smooth. If you need a good landscaper though, I have some degree of skill in that area.
The "Dragon's Nest" is a battle arena built near Hana no Machi. It's main purpose is for fighting tournaments. This building can be identified by having a large dark-red roof and being topped with flames. I. INTRODUCTION The matches are conducted in an elimination-style setup. Each player draws a random number from a dispenser and fighters are paired based on who get matching numbers. Because of the server's current lack of Kagome bills, players will instead wager valuable items as the prize. The winner takes all the items wagered, with the runner-up receiving a consolation prize (usually emeralds, enchanted books, etc.).
All participants are to sign up on this forum and to state what items they plan to gamble during the tournament. Everyone must offer something, and PLEASE don't wager something stupid like a stack of dirt or leaves. Try to come up with something that could actually be considered a prize. Some ideas would include:
Y'know, stuff that could actually be considered rare? It's not much of a wager if players don't put up anything valuable.
II. EQUIPMENT
Contestants are responsible for bringing their own items into the ring. The tournament is not obligated to provide them with anything.
EQUIPMENT ALLOWED IN THE RING: + Swords/Axes + Bows and arrows + armor/Shields + Enchanted equipment + Arrows with potion effects
Remember that this isn't a paintball field - it's a battle arena where you fight your opponent face-to-face.
III. RULES OF THE RING
I am going to make the rules about this place very clear. Players can be jerks sometimes and I won't have bad behavior taking place here. Before we begin, I would like to reference YukkuriCraft's rule on PvP:
YukkuriCraft Rule #7: "Do not pvp without consent" "Some occasional PvP between friends is fun, but make sure whoever you're killing knows and is okay with it! If there's no consent, this can fall under player griefing!"
Rule 1: The fighting "ring" is the large white carpeted area surrounded by fence, sitting in the middle of the arena's interior. This is where combat takes place, and nowhere else.
Rule 2: Combat can take place at any time in the ring, and that is the ONLY place on the entire server where this is permitted. Fighting anywhere else is subject to the Rules of YukkuriCraft regarding PvP and attacking other players. This place is meant for fun and sport - not overturning the server rules.
Rule 3: Going into the ring automatically gives your consent to PvP. HOWEVER, if someone has tricked you into teleporting here and killed you, PLEASE CONTACT ME and I will make sure a staff member assists you. I will NOT tolerate abuse of my battle arena to grief other players. Those who do will be reported to the mediators for their actions, as well as banned from the arena entirely and any future tournaments.
To clarify on Rule 3, "going into the ring" means going through the gates that you enter from either side. Being teleported into the arena DOES NOT COUNT as going in.
Rule 4: Those hosting the tournament cannot be held responsible for unconsented PvP and will let mediators handle the enforcement of the server rules. If you break these rules or pick a fight outside the ring, I'm not obligated to speak up for you. Please keep this in mind before doing something stupid.
Rule 5: Spectators are not allowed to interfere with ongoing matches. To clarify, interfering means attacking the fighters from outside the ring, in the spectator area. Spectators who fail to follow this rule will be asked to leave the arena and therefore disqualified from the tournament if they have signed up.
Rule 6: Forfeiting a match results in disqualification. Those who forfeit may stand in the spectator balcony and watch but will not be allowed to participate in matches for the rest of the tournament.
Yes, I know the rules seem a bit strict. But if I didn't make the rules clear and enforce them properly, then the arena's function wouldn't work out and I would have to close it down permanently. All I ask is that you please don't make me regret building this thing. Thank you.
Okay, I've already started on letters of my own and there was one I wanted to send out to the server as a whole, but I realized sending the same letter to every single person's chest would be a bit redundant. So instead, I'm going to post it here: I'd like to thank all of you for these last two years of having me. You guys are without a doubt the friendliest and most helpful people I've ever met on this game, and I look forward to working with you all in the future.
Even when I was at my worst, you guys were willing to forgive me for my mistakes and shortcomings, and I'm grateful for that. I know that it may sound wierd coming from someone none of you have ever met face-to-face, but knowing you guys has had an impact on my life - a good one.
While here, I've known what it means to be appreciated and to be called a friend. For that, I want to wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
Thanks for everything guys. I could never thank any of you enough.
