Ladies and gentlemen, last night was our very first XIN Chat on our new XIN1. As a moderator and a member, I'd like to say that it was a success. As Leon Loire stated in his thread above, the chat started at 6 PM EST (and I got in there at 6:04), and got to business right away. Of course, there were some people I didn't know, and introduced myself. After knowing who everyone was, we continued to talk about a certain deadline at hand. What's that you may ask? Well, our home, or, place of origin, Lifepoint1, has asked on their homepage that in return for weekly news from all RPBs, they would be willing to spread the word out for all of us on their main page, aiding us in promotion (hurray~!!). Now, because of Leon's dedication and friendship with all, we all agreed on having what we know as a XIN chat. This, is a method of communication with a number of members on the forum, for a serious means of discussion meant for board topics, or, just getting to know each other and screw around in general (yes, some of you may find this unnecessary, since we're on a FORUM afterall, but some believe that a constant form of conversation is better and faster than waiting for momentary posts on the forum). Before I get to starting, there was also one more thing in which we all talked about, and that was the involvement of Kurtz' tournaments. Without further adieu, I'll begin my recap of our first XIN Chat (quite a few off topic things to show how "varied" it was =P).
------- Before I start. I'll put the display names from the forums since I know not everyone will recognize various MSN names -------
Principal MacMillan: I'm god. If you don't want to be here. Leave. Got it?
Kai, Kei, Pain Killer: Too many people! Window keeps flashing...
Kyukaku: Flashing is hot. (Kei: Ew...)
Principal MacMillan: SILENCE MINIONS. Leon speak.
Leon Loire: The only real order of business today regards a request by Steven and Max themselves-
Prin. MacMillan: T-this isn't sugar... This.. is.. SPLENDAAA~!!
Everyone: SPLENDAAA~!!
Raph: Um.. SPART-
Everyone: ...
Raph: taa..?
Pain Killer: No. Just. No.
Leon Loire: ANYWAYS. What I was TRYING to say before you guys RUDELY interr-
Kei: We're like squirrels~!! Giggity ^_^
Leon Loire: People keep focused. Dante that means you. Good. Keep to eating your popcorn, and let's continute.
Mayon: P-p-popcorn.. it's my c-c-craaaaack *twitches*
Leon Loire: Dante... we can tell if you're typing.
Dante W (I believe): I didn't say anything!
Kyukaku: Stay focused John. (Kei: Haha!)
Leon Loire: We have summaries from VIPs about mentionable subjects. These include the "Beyond Control" Riot, the rise of Stern Mason, Donar Kvist, Shamino Warhen, the Pillars, Taiku and so forth, and anything else that is deemed significant. This "significant" definition regards anything that affects 3 or more people. So practically, if you're making a storyline with your girlfriend, we don't give a damn. Now, in that VIP thread we've done pretty well. But the point of this brief time of actual contemplation is this; I want anyone and everyone to note whatever they seem "significant" to the board as a whole in terms of events and/or storyline. Now. This is how it'll work. Those of us who are Moderators on the board hold the privilege to speak sparsely regarding suggestions (Kei: Lol! Kyukaku: Yes!). Everyone else, please keep quiet unless we request you to note your opinions regarding what the speaker says
Pain Killer: Don't everyone jump at once..
Kyukaku: I still think the Wolves and Sheep thread is somewhat important, as its 5 of us with an upcoming event.
Kei: (Whose actually on the board right now?)
L.L. (Leon Loire): Does it matter? (Kei: Ouch...)
Dean, Kyukaku, Dante W, Raph, Mayon: Me! ..... (Kei: Giggity XD)
Odin Reeves: I'm good. Though I'd like to remention the tournament, since it involved so many.
Leon Loire: Now, the last tournament began when again?
Kyukaku, Odin Reeves, Dean: February. Yeah, February 5th...... (Kei: Really...?)
Leon Loire: So we know that, according to the idea that we take a month break, we're due for a new tournament in a few days. How does one participate? Was it like XIN1, ask OOC and get a spot? Yes, however Kurtz is going a little further by demanding for a storyline purpose that makes sense ICly.
L.L.: Idea. Current Champion (Odin Reeves) would be given two options, the first being able to start from scratch for the next tournament, and the second option would be to help Judge the matches along side Kurtz, only to probably end up in an exhibition match against the new Champion. You guys FINALLY understand?
Everyone: Yes.
L.L.: Good (thank you Jesus)
Dain Gavyns: You're welcome.
Kei: Your welcome. Aw.... ................ (Kyukaku: Lol. Raph: Dain's JEESUS?! Pain Killer: Haha, shh)
Kyukaku: Okay, so this is what I meant to propose: We hold a regular tournament like usual, where Kurtz still does all the judging. The former champ can't participate, but is present as a guest of honor. Then, new champ and old fight for Grand Champ like title. Nothing else to complicate things.
Pain Killer: So if he is present for the whole thing, the new champ is all tired, but the old one is fresh and uninjured?
Princ. MacMillan: But Pain Killer raises a valid point. Even with a days rest, you're still gonna be beat from three days of fighting...
Kyukaku: We have what I stated before, where the tourney stays the same with each match the next day judged by kurtz. After the new champ is decided, its an IC week and the grand champ fight is up. They can choose whether to accept it or not. If they do and win, they get to be in that spot next time. If they do and lose, they still have their tournament championship. If they turn down the fight it has to be by injury, and they just dont get the grand champ title. Anyone disagree?
All: Agreed. ................ (Dain Gavyns: I disagree.)
L.L, Kyu: Do you really, Dain? You've been kinda random and sarcastic, so it's hard to tell. Still, Ryan's a Mod, so give him his word.
Mayon: Just because he is a mod, doesn't mean he is right Leon.
L.L, Kyu: Be quiet, Mayon. Hence why I said "word" Mayon. (Dain: And actually, Mayon, I'm always right, but that's later)
Dain: The only real problem I had was that I don't think that anyone should be forced to fight in the grand champ thing.
Kei: HALRIGHT~!! Now. We're in favor of Kyukaku's idea, with Dain's for the ending right? Meaning. Everything goes as Kyu suggested, but that the person would have the option to choose whether to participate in that "grand champ fight" alright? Everyone got it? Good. Great. Grand. Dynamite.
Princ. MacMillan: REMEMBER. I'm god. So there shall be no absolute decision made without talking to Kurtz first, understood? Or I shall smite thee~!!... and all that... ...... (Kei: Whoa...)
L.L.: Workin on it.

------------------ Whoa. After reading this part. I realized we've spent two hours on this tournament subject. So, therefore, I'd rather not post what we talked about in order to be distracted to this severe extent... and what got us to MASS CONFUSION. ------------------

------------- 5 and a Half hours later, a select few still talked on the XIN chat. Eventually coming down to one, ending it. I still managed to talk to a few XINsters individually... ruining my hope to set a record V_V
So. If you guys want the REAL conversation, let me know, and I'll send you the file.-------------
