If we want to change a sketchy relationship between the two boards, what makes you think proving what kind of methods being used at a board is the best would help fix this? No offense but I'm afraid that instead of bringing the boards together, this can only lead to increasing the gap. If we want to get a better relation with the other board, why would that have to involve proving who's best? Even if some people understand it's for fun, proud people will see it offensive when their ways are proven to be lesser then the ones of the others. Ah well, that's just my take on this idea, I'm afraid it will eventually lead to flaming, fights and agression... which would be a pity, since between mature people this idea could perhaps work?

This looks cool. Really cool. And I want in. (But like hell I'll actually be allowed to enter. Won't there be a "no sucky fighter rule" on the tourney?) But anyway, awesome idea handsome admin!!!

I'm wondering if this'll be more like the 'evil five' tournament from the previous board, only with neither side actually being evil.
To avoid what Ko mentioned it would probably be best if only fighters get voted into the tournament, based on skill, maturity, and other such qualities that would help result in anything but petty squabling.
Then again, Liam already said he has it more or less figured out.

This rant brought to you from an angry, stressed-out and tired admin.... You know what? Everyone seems to be reading so fucking much into this, it's unreal. Really... This isn't about proving who has the better style, period. It's about finding the best fight RPer from each board, however at the rate this is descending I don't see why I bloody bothered considering the idea. Paul, I'm sure that, stats or no stats, you're easily the favourite from Hircine here, but I'm getting really, REALLY fucking tired of your attitude here. Come on, for crying out loud. James, I'd like to make one simple point before you start quoting your 'bullshit' again. The methods, if indeed there is to be a cross-board tournament, haven't even been discussed yet. It's remaining to be seen what will happen, if anything. While some of you are offering decent opinions and a few things I hadn't thought of myself, I'm sadly disappointed that two of the admin here are descending to the standards I'd expect of children. It was an idea for some fun, a change from the boards typical routine, y'know, to make it MORE FUCKING INTERESTING. I'm not joking anymore, I don't care what the attitudes are to me brandishing a ban button on this matter, but I'm NOT going to tolerate this 'bullshit' anymore. If you don't like 552 or their way of doing things, thats your opinion and your problem, so keep it to yourself. I asked for opinions on an idea, not a board, so if you have nothing to say besides 'Fuck 552 and their stats', then go smack your head off a wall for me. Please, I'm genuinely asking you to go and do that, because it MIGHT just knock some sense into you, which is always a good thing. Sort your shit out, you asses. Thank you for your patience. Please return to making '300' jokes.

umm......I never actually spoke bad about 552...in fact I'm one of the few has has never had a bad thing to say about them. As I said, I don't like stats, and a stated match has little indication of skill. If people who don't hold that view have a seperate board, I'm all for that idea.
Also, my dropping of "bullshit" was on Andrews idea, not that board. Sorry, it just doesn't make sense with the point he was making. I did offer a more realistic alternative to achieve a remedy to his point as well.
You know, you've seemed a little edgy lately Liam....quick to anger, seeing problems that aren't thier, and your hostile statements have lost thier mirth. Is something up that we should know about?

The statement as a whole was directed to anyone who was badmouthing, not just yourself. As for the bullshit remark, I will apologise for that. I just see red when I see that these days... >.> As for something being up, without being rude, it's nothing for any of you to worry about. I'm just on edge, and that's no crime.

I think Liam didn't get to dine in hell, and it's made him a tad bit cranky. He just needs some Red Sauce on Pasta.

Lol.
--
Did anyone notice that a lot of said things were repeated a million times? I respect the fact that people have ideas, but, you have to remember that there are already a group (that's right. Not just one or two) of experienced, RPing admins who can handle this, while keeping their members' interests at hand. Yes, even though I believe that a word never spoken can miss it's chance of changing the world, I'll ask that this would be a cutoff point. Just in case, I want to make a few things clear.
As said, this tournament isn't so much a competition as it is a get-together. The aim for this is to actually unite everyone, you know? XIN1 and XIN2ers didn't always "hate" each other (not most people actually do, it's just because people actually MAKE IT SEEM THAT WAY), and so we're doing as we used to do long ago, act as XIN boards of Lifepoint1. There were a nice amount of people a long time ago who linked there characters to both schools, constructing storylines, thus leading to a major opportunity for this probable brief "merger." A lot of people can really add depth to their characters, and total RPing experience (I'm encouraging newer players to think about their own creativity and unity with their characters).
I read a lot of posts with nothing important in it. Just a collection of paragraphs assuming about how things would turn out. Stop it. It's annoying. Besides that, a lot of it is useless rambling; nothing's being stated. Just "expert" analyses about how we as two wholes would act as if we were in Animal Planet or something. C'mon guys, chill out. Have fun, and DON'T get your hopes up. We can't babysit you guys, we can't make promises about anything, other than that we just want to run our RP boards smoothly and mutually. That's all we can really ask for isn't it?
Stop hating on either board. XIN2 was made to be the counterpart of XIN1, to house different kinds of RPers. I myself joined XIN1 just because I thought XIN two was too complicated (I was thirteen and stupid, what can I say =P), which was unfortunate because I loved the original color scheme proboards offered back in the day. Both have good people, and I can say this, both boards have people who need to relax, and people who need to remember that these boards were made to meet new people, write creatively, acknowledge the hardwork Lifepoint1 went through to creating an interested and varied community, and that we're SUPPOSED TO HAVE FUN. I can't stress this enough. To force yourself to do anything you don't feel like doing. You're your own boss. No one can tell you otherwise.
Just, please. Let's act better about this alright?
(Yeah, I wasnt expecting for this post to be this length)
Stay perfect.
~Manuel

I simply gave my opinion on the matter, if that in any way caused you(Liam) to get pissed/angry, I am sorry, but I honestly am just afraid that this(if not worked out properly or backed up fully) could lead to distancing the relation rather then making it better. I noted most people go enthousiastic at the idea and started discussing tourneys and what not, I just stated what I thought. I don't know exactly what Odin was trying to imply by saying, to avoid what Ko just said, and I don't know if you even addressed me with your statement either, but I should be able to simply state my opinion without suddenly being seen as wrong. If your statement however wasn't about me in any way, forget I ever said this...
And I still hate you Odin, whatever msn name you might have...

Basically I meant in order to get past any flaming, ooc fighting, etc etc that you mentioned in your post. To avoid these I believe a way to do so would be Bla, bla bla, bla bla.
My Msn name smites you well Ko.

Well, if I could make a suggestion, perhaps just having a tournament on its own might be too risky. When it comes to RPing, I think that just seeing who is the better fighter could be fun, but perhaps we could make this tournament apart of something that would further the relations any further. You know, like perhaps the reason we are meeting is because we are having a tournament that our two schools just happened to have the best fighters in. This being assumed because it is a Xin based thing, and technically they are the major Xin boards. Well, observers all about the board could also go watch, and they could have this little festival thing going on before, during, and after the tournament too. Plus, observers for the tournament while the whole thing is going on.
Why? Because that might open up more opportunities to RP with each other, and get to know one and other better. It does improve our relations while getting out who has the better fighters thrown into it all too. Plus, then those who aren't in the tournament for whatever reason can probably have none organized fights that don't count anything in the overall score, but can still have some fun. Sure, this does nothing to really help the stats or RP ability of things on deciding the fights, like what is seeming to be aimed, but I was more of focused on the RPing idea more than anything.
Pretty much, the idea is to get our schools to actually know one each other, in fighting, out of fighting. Hey, imagine someone from 552 falling in love with someone from Hircine High. You have developments going on outside the board, and it could make things neat. Anyways, that's about it, I just thought it would be fun, have an official competition going on while we have some sort of festival thing celebrating it or something else randomly we both just happen to go to.

Wow ok that was one hell of a read. Well as I may have been planning this for a little while it seems you guys have gone that extra step, while I already have a board trying tow ork out stuff between 259 and 552. . .
Sorry I guess I forgot to introduce myself, I am the admin of PHS #259, nothing special, small timers compared to the long running 552. Stat based as well, but we are so layed back it hardly matters, so we could fight RP based most likely rather easy. Now that my intro is over.
I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in having some sort of Inter-School things with 259 from here. Sports, dances, fighting tournaments, stuff like that. As I look around I have seen a few people I recognize that have recently joined from 259 like me. So I'm sure it would be a very small effert to have them possibly transfer their characters.
Not to mention oddly we are based in the same damn state. XD So moving between our boards is pretty realistic and easy. Just get back to me if you have any ideas, I can restrict my 259ers from using their Qi and 'XIN physics' while they are here. If it happens.

How do people keep getting my copy of The Book of the Dead....let alone understanding it's contents.
You think that if they went through all the trouble the cover it with human flesh, they would at least put a lock on it.

Uh-huh. Necromancy. We got past that point when he said that Leon directed him here. Guys he's trying to achieve the objective this thread was made for, which is increasing relations between boards. What do you have to lose by listening to him? I think being proactive with the cross-board events is a little more important than upholding the resurrection rule, which is more of a manners thing than a law anyways.
On the other hand, John, it might be better to just PM Liam about all of these matters...this thread is quite outdated. Your ideas may be better recieved there anyways. Keep trying though, I'm really excited about the possibilities of cross board happenings. So yea, a Message to Principal Macmillian would do the trick.
And now I go bye bye.

Seriously people... We are talking about roughly 10 days here... And considering it was actually something worthwhile. So I think we should only ban him for 3 days.
And this could be a good time for Liam to step in and report what progress he has achived? ... I leave the scene open for Principal MacVillain.

Necromancy is no longer the issue - we're dealing with the Admin of 259 suggesting something here, after all - so let's move on to the clearly more important issue, all right?
Yes, he committed Necromancy, and yes, I didn't expect him to post here; but what harm did he really do, and what good will come out of this in the end?
If you still want to argue for Necromancy in that regard, then I will seriously smack you.
Now leave Big Red to reply, so we can see what's going to follow.

Did he do something wrong? -looks-.....No.
Did he perform Necromancy maliciously? -looks-....No.
Did he post here because he was too lazy to start a new thread? -looks....No.
Whilst unorthodox, there was no problem with this. His point was made simply, he was DIRECTED here by another staff member, let it drop.
Seriously, nice to know that the staff are quick to see it, but consider the situation as well. The point was directly valid to the thread so it's the most logical answer. However, also considering that the OOC gets filtered out once a month, all threads around until then are fair game.

So... Not going to post about the post at hand? Because that's... 5 posts in a row about thread necromancy, and not prolonging the actual thread at all.
