Hello Fellow RPers!

It is time to come to the final vote that will protect everyone who has been caught in our war of RPs. This pact is to Graveyard the current RPs, together, and finally start new with one. I'm planning to use this thread afterwards, to recycle. But Thin and Kaiju will mod, seeing as how I can become....intense.

This thread promises among each of us that we will keep one, and ONLY one, RP in the Treasure Vault. No more discussion threads unless THIN!!! sees fit. KAIJU!!! will be in charge of keeping this new thread sane. But before any of that can take place, we must make the ultimate pact.

Let's commense the Pact.

Thinslayer(Thinslayer)
Kaijuhunter()
Liminori(Liminori)
Archemiday-Thebard()
Ultimaknightz(Ultimaknightz)
Aekuryi (Aekuryi)
Houndoomwars(optional)
Gzilla(Gzilla)
Legend-Knight-Hadi(Legend-Knight-Hadi)
Knight-Of-Vanaduke(Knight-Of-Vanaduke)
Snowdusk(Snowdusk)
Immortous(Immortous)

Again, pray I got everyone....ALSO, with Liminori's consent, I could mash up his good plot for an RP into this, and anyone who has suggestions, bring them out.

Let the Pact of Monocled Chromalisks save our souls.

-------------------------------------Yours Truly,
--------------------------------------Seatus&The Monocled Chromalisk

The Pact of the Monocled Chromalisk

This Pact hereby ensures that all whom enter into it follows it's rules. This Pact proclaims that all current roleplays are banished to the Graveyards, where their threads shall rest in peace. It also proclaims that one, and ONLY one roleplay will be active in the Treasure Vault. This means that once this thread/roleplay is dead, another may take it's place. All who enter into this Pact will help keep our roleplay rules strong, and protect the Vault from those who would wish to harm it with a secondary roleplay. This Pact is a result of the Great Roleplay Wars of 2013, of which, only we survived. We will rebuild from the ashes of our now tarnished Vault. Once this Pact is complete, this thread is to be recycled as a new and fresh roleplay, while at once the others are sent to be buried. In the name of Vog and the Vault, I swear it.

LET EVERYTHING BEGIN.

Appearance/Arsenal: (limit to 3* for now, but clothing does not have to be Spiral Knights AKA Free Clothing)

(in the making)

Plot (has yet to be discussed)
POSSIBLE PLOT!!!
The war creating a terrible plague, creating zombies and mutations, and an Ocean of Twisted Beings, which has birthed mutations amongst the Knights, mutations whom have half of their being themselves, and the other half being a Clockwork monster, of which all the monsters' bodies and souls have intermixed with the black and green of the wasted Ocean. The mutations are born with powers over their element.

It has also birthed a new race from the blood of an extinct ancient race, dubbed the Necron. They are outcasts for their strange abilities with metal, some magnetizing it, some reshaping it, and others becoming it.

The Swarm is at it's purest, taking Knights in the form of beautiful magenta humanoids. This is an elegible race in the apps.

Aekuryi's Idea(s):
Idea A: "The polar ice caps or some huge ice block/source of water has melted due to the waste and heat from the Clockworks and flooded it and the rest of Cradle, everyone escaping to the surface. Surviving on the ocean has become the new way of life. Floating towns and cities have been created on the water and many people use the sea, with some residing on the remaining islands. However, the waste from the massive machines of the Clockworks did not go away so easily. A few have been investigating it, and have returned, although they seem... different somehow."

Idea B: "As a result of waste from the Clockworks, the ice caps in the Enstral Desert of Cradle have melted, causing the valleys and Clockworks to flood. All the Knights and most creatures escaped, and the Spiral Order was disbanded, as most of their weaponry and facilities had been destroyed. Gremlins and Knights befriended each other and lived in harmony, war now eradicated. People moved to islands across the vast sea created by the flood, some groups even building floating cities out of metal and wood from weapons. It was Cradle's Aqua Age. Life prospered and peace reigned. However, there was still a relic of the past. Over the years, people have journeyed towards the Enstral Desert, determined to find out what the waste was. None of them returned. In later years, people began to return, but shortly after, a plague broke out, causing several people to undergo mutations. This was kept under wraps by the Ocean Committee, the reincarnated Spiral Order, who kept these mutated Knights and Gremlins, investigating them. It's even said that the waste comes from the ocean, prompting the world into a state of uneasiness."

Idea C: "Doing another combination (mine is a little more prominent in this one, sorreh), but the waste can cause the spread of the Ocean of Twisted Beings, sorta like pollution, and gradually cause the plague you demonstrated. One modification to said plague though, it could be that the plague causes the victim to slowly haave their mind corrupted and turn into a part-clockworks being in some way. Meaning, if they were infected with a Wolver Strain of the Wastevirus, they would gain some traits of the Wolver, meaning they would gain some hunting instincts, sharp canines and possibly ears (とても萌 (*°∀°), a tail or even their entire body covered in fur. It varies, so they could either stand out prominently or go largely unnoticed. Same thing with other species."

Thinslayer's Idea:
"The Skylark has crashed, and the knights must find their way in this strange new world. Alpha Squad has just been sent into the vast mechanical structure beneath the surface, and HQ is attempting to set up communications. The knights are tasked with exploring the underworld known as the "Clockworks." Already, the gremlins are devising a plot to destroy them...

Some key elements of this story will be:
*They discover how the Clockworks works.
*They discover some of the darkest secrets of the Clockworks (Core! Swarm!)
*There is a villainous plot to destroy Haven that must be stopped.
*The bosses should be memorable.
*Rhendon will find and bring together the main characters.

If this story is approved, we will need players to manage the following bosses:
*Razwog
*Snarbolax (I recommend Seatus)
*Royal Jelly
*Warmaster Seerus
*Lord Vanaduke

We will also need players to manage the following NPCs who are most involved in the missions:
*Rhendon
*Feron
*Kora
*Hahn"

Rules
GOLDEN RULE!
NO MORE POWERPLAYS, THEY ARE INEXCUSABLE!
If you need the approval of another person's character, then WAIT for it. Sorry if your post is short, but the best thing about RPs is that they are not planned, they just happen.

SECOND RULE!
In all honesty, let's not plan anything, unless it's close to present. Like a coupling. Or a meet up. But no long-term planning.

(UNDER SIEGE!)

Xenonguard

Uhhhh...

This only applies to RPs set in the same world as The Fangs and Return to Cradle right?

Sun, 04/28/2013 - 08:04

Callis-The-Wicked

This RP....

...Will be completely new :)

Oh! No, this applies to all RPs out now.

Sun, 04/28/2013 - 08:11

Xenonguard

In the case of the Return to Cradle and The Fangs roleplays, they should definitely be put together as they are set in the same storyline, it was even explicitly stated that Return to Cradle was a sequel. However, there are many roleplays, such as the original Clockwork Renegades, that simply would not work if it wasn't seperate from others, in a single thread. Therefore, I refuse to sign.

EDIT: Wait, you mean out now? If this applies to future RPs seperate to the RtC storyline then fine, but if you mean every single RP forever then I won't sign.

Sun, 04/28/2013 - 08:31

Feline-Grenadier

Rage

I just told Thin to make them unaffiliated. Besides, the Fangs was originally for my future stories. It's not officially Thin's storyline.

Cake-Walk and Dominance were the legit sequels to The Fangs. RtC is Thin's own interpretation of future events, but it was never really his. In fact, if you checked the Fangs RP thread, he pretty much turned my RP into his, with creating a crap-ton of characters, doing all sorts of plot-twisting actions and whatnot. The Fangs was where he could start, but there are definitely two stories inside there.

Sun, 04/28/2013 - 10:17

Thinslayer

@Everyone

I am not in favor of a mashup. Neat freak that I am, such an arrangement would be messy and ungainly. We should all agree on a roleplay background and structure we like; that's the purpose of my vote thread.

I cannot agree to this pact until it removes roleplay suggestions from its content. That needs to be handled separately.

Also, what Feline-Grenadier said. I choose to respect his wishes concerning The Fangs.

Sun, 04/28/2013 - 15:25

Callis-The-Wicked

Mmmh

Then it's semi-settled. This Pact will keep one RP in the Treasure Vault, and be unaffiliated with any roleplays. Let the past go to ashes, and let us start anew. This is a pact that should make EVERYONE happy, otherwise majority rules. Let the people of Cradle know of our crimes against the almighty Vault, and realize we are to try and mend these scars!

(Monocled Chromalisk: Battle speeches much, Seatus? *sips his tea daintily*)

Sun, 04/28/2013 - 16:10

Aekuryi

Scars?

I don't think all the roleplays were bad (not that you were saying that they were bad in the first place). It's the way some of them were executed and the people that were participating in them that made this a problem. Add the Roleplay bandwagon on to that and you get... well, the Treasure Vault as of now. Somewhere along the way we strayed from a good roleplay.
I'm all for this pact/bill/peace treaty/shadow proclamation, mostly because I found it annoying when more Roleplays started popping up and people jumping on the bandwagon. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't horrible, but it was a little much. If anyone wants to host a roleplay and there are already a bunch, there are plenty of places you can do so.
And regarding the story, I don't think a mashup will work out. I'd like for there to be a completely new plot that someone makes up and there potentially is a vote on.

Sun, 04/28/2013 - 16:23

Callis-The-Wicked

Great!

*snaps fingers to cue Monocled Chromalisk, whom scribbles down Aekuryi's vote on shadow proclaimation*

Right. None of the RPs were bad, there were just so many, the excitement dulled down. It dulled so much the head of the spear dulled, and when that one Knight tried to poke me with it I fed him to the Monocled Chromalisk.

If this pact goes how it's planned, then our fun RP days will be back up. No mash-up required, we can just brainstorm a great plot. Time to await the others' votes.

Sun, 04/28/2013 - 17:46

Callis-The-Wicked

Mmmmh

I must wait for everyone's consent....

Immortous

Well, I believe you already know my stand on this Seatus.

I may not be known well around the Vault, but I wholly agree with this.

I miss the days when it was one central roleplay and then a bunch of fanfics.

(Depending on when this is cleared up, I may enter my own character app into the consummate RP since I'll have more time in the summer.)

@Seatus

I agree with Thinslayer. Let us not focus too much on a plot-driven story, then we can truly settle on our goals. A good thing is never forced, but executed by will.

Ummm.... My ideas?

So THe pact of the chroma will be the next fan-fiction? If so, count me in! Also, I read the upper posts. So..... Blah blah blah, to the agrees.

Agree to Seatus, to Snowdusk for agreeing to Thinslayer, and Aekuruyi

Legend-Knight-Hadi

Well.....

My ideas of fics bef0roe were ~oh its jus SK,boring......... lets go read Naruto.~But recently viewing Thin's writing view and working with him on probably... um.......... 2.5 reoleplays is giving me an optimistic of this group. I'd like to agree to this but i'd find it really awesome if I could keep my charecter. Also i'm wondering if there would another writer willing to team up, some1 with an obtemistic charecter. I've got a group of reallu awesome plots.
AGREE
AGREED

Thinslayer

@Legend-Knight-Hadi

You only worked with me on one roleplay, Clockworks Chronicles.

Whether you keep your character is entirely up to you.

And, no offense, but I would not like to team up with you, as I have a low tolerance for grammatical errors. I strongly recommend you proof-read your own writing before you post it.

Liminori

Guys!

I've been staring at the other RP's and going: Where are all the posts!?!
So I go and check the forums and find this! AT LEAST TELL ME!
I also might have made a few posts in the "Dead" forums.

Pact accepted*

HAIZ.

You have my consent. Also, when will this RP start?

@Everyone

I'll take a chance on this. But the second someone starts to powerplay/fight with each other i'm out.

Ultimaknightz

@Seatus

I like the mashup idea. It's cool.

Mon, 04/29/2013 - 18:30

#20

Thinslayer

@Gzilla

Couldn't you at least wait to see if said power plays are addressed before you back out?

This pact is for roleplays in general. If you back out of it, we cannot guarantee that we will participate in any other roleplay you happen to be in. So it'll be your loss, not ours, if you back out.

Mon, 04/29/2013 - 18:39

#21

Ultimaknightz

@Thinslayer & Seatus

Is the mashup idea going to be made into an RP? Because if it is, that would be awesome.

Mon, 04/29/2013 - 18:41

#22

Gzilla

The whole point of this thread is to support RP's so I think it would be. @Thin that's what i meant, the first sign of unjustified/unproved powerplays and i'm out of the RP, but maybe not the pact.

Mon, 04/29/2013 - 19:04

#23

Thinslayer

@Gzilla

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up.

Mon, 04/29/2013 - 19:34

#24

Callis-The-Wicked

Okay!

*cues Monocled Chromalisk, who hurriedly starts scribbling down names*

Great. We won't have to ruin the Treasure Vault, nor our RP. Let the RP begin!

#25

Aekuryi

Regarding the Plot

Now that most of us have agreed to this, a roleplay is in order, but the problem is, the plot has not been decided yet. That makes it a little difficult to apply or even start a roleplay, no?
Anyway, just a suggestion, but I think it would be kinda cool if we did something involving an ocean, or a sea. Kinda in the theme of (northern hemisphere w00t) summer. I made this idea before, but I just modified the idea a little for now.

The polar ice caps or some huge ice block/source of water has melted due to the waste and heat from the Clockworks and flooded it and the rest of Cradle, everyone escaping to the surface. Surviving on the ocean has become the new way of life. Floating towns and cities have been created on the water and many people use the sea, with some residing on the remaining islands. However, the waste from the massive machines of the Clockworks did not go away so easily. A few have been investigating it, and have returned, although they seem... different somehow.

You can interpret the "difference" however you want, be that special powers or physical deformities or minds becoming dark and twisted. It's just a suggestion..

Mon, 04/29/2013 - 20:10

#26

Callis-The-Wicked

SO, another mash-up idea (needs Liminori's consent)

Okay, so, I'd like to mash-up Liminori's plot, with his consent, with the zombie apocalypse idea. Also adding my own creativity. The war creating a terrible plague, creating zombies and mutations, and an Ocean of Twisted Beings, which has birthed mutations amongst the Knights, mutations whom have half of their being themselves, and the other half being a Clockwork monster, of which all the monsters' bodies and souls have intermixed with the black and green of the wasted Ocean. The mutations are born with powers over their element.

The Swarm is at it's purest, taking Knights in the form of beautiful magenta humanoids. This is an elegible race in the apps.

Snowdusk

Let's keep things simple

Let me say this: the forums are too small to contain a potentially big discussion such as this.

I reckon that you guys meet up in somewhere else more convenient, and let off all your ideas there. We can brainstorm together without making huge blocks of posts and replies. A group Skype, a personal website, anything will do, as long as we all feel comfortable. I just feel we should head out from the forums, as this is no longer a mere "discussion".

What do you think?

Mon, 04/29/2013 - 21:44

#31

Aekuryi

Too Small?

I feel that moving this discussion elsewhere would be unnecessary. We can simply graveyard this thread and make a new one for the sole purpose of discussing the plot of the next roleplay. As long as we keep it somewhat organized, we'll be perfectly fine. It's still a discussion, it has not evolved at all.

Mon, 04/29/2013 - 22:47

#32

Snowdusk

Let's see what others has to

Let's see what others has to say, I'm merely expressing what I'm feeling about our current thread.

I have another thought about the matter: since many of us have ideas on a story plot, each of us can voice out our opinions, then we can vote on the best choice. Later, we can freely improvise on it. Or alternatively, we improvise on each other's ideas, and narrowing everything down to one solution.

Pay attention though: RPs don't usually have a very plot-driven storyline. As a start, we just need to get a basic structure, for example, the background and setting, and then we figure out everything else as we move on in our roleplaying. That's how we can generate both creativity and interest and prevent the RP from going stale. (I believe I told this to Thinslayer before, but I think I should mention this again to justify the RP system)

So, apparently your taking

So, apparently your taking character requests now? I need to go to school, and I'll sign up after that, but for now, as you haven't made your story yet, can you be a clockwork creature, or just knights?

Tue, 04/30/2013 - 06:02

#35

Callis-The-Wicked

Oh! Well.....

@Dmatter Dunno, we're still finding the plot.

@IdeaMakers Err....here's the problem....I'm unable to actually LEAVE the forums and post somewhere else....This Wii U can only do so much....And I might get lost :o

@Plot Structure is all we need....I tried sticking with the plot in other RPs and a) Found it difficult with everyone NOT follpwing the plot and b) That it was an RP! Full Plots are useless in the terms of Roleplay.....

@Thin, also

Thin, can i keep clockwork chronicles and finish it, i can copy/paste the matter into my docs, see um...well my plot relates a lot to that hooded lady/girl who you wrote about. So if i can keep that fic then that'd be great :D

I deleted the Clockworks Chronicles document, so unless it's still floating around somewhere on the web, accessing it is impossible.

Also, the hooded lady is a very important and valuable character who I am not ready or willing to hand off to other writers.

Um..... Well I was really asking permission to complete it, u see it's actually my first fanfic of SK and I'm pretty exited. I can do it solo and if you want me to replace the hooded lady I can, come on man.......... PLEASE?

@Legend-Knight-Hadi

No need to beg me. I think you need some writing practice. Go ahead and complete it.

Also, please delete my parts of the story if you want it to be your own fanfic.

Creating female characters is pretty simple. They are just like male characters, except that they make more high-pitched noises (like a "scream" instead of "GAH!!"), and are...well...female. They make excellent "mysterious magical" characters, and ditzy characters tend to be of this gender.

TY BRO, the only reason I have typos were because of me using a Samsung or a NDSi Xl. sometimes because of I was listening to song other than that I am totally typo free, all the others wee on purpose....

Thinslayer

@Legend-Knight-Hadi

No, the only reason you have typos is because you didn't proofread it after typing it up. I make typos all the time, but you know why you don't see very many? Because 1) I'm just good at typing and 2) I re-read what I've written and correct the errors.

Always proofread your own writing.
