I've been on these forums for about two years now, written quite a few RP's (and attempted a fan-fic or two), but never really recieved recognition. I'm not one at all to want to be in the spot-light, but I'd like to get some credit. I've come a HELL of a long way since I participated in my first RP.

EDIT: Also, I've never been more glad too see the forums up and going again. Thanks to everyone on these great forums. Cheers, and may the New Year bring new joy!

:cheers:

Hell mate, I'll always give you credit. You have come along way, and you'll always be one of my mates. Besides, without you, I could have never created Arethan in the timeline. But aye mate, It's been a long time.

It's a wonder I still check this Fan Fiction forum everyday (the only forum I regularly check), and I've been on here for two years with many of you guys. This place is awesome.

Thanks Wooly. Means a lot man. I also gotta say, that if it wasn't for guys like you and Darkom, and Dr. Strangelove, there's not a doubt in my mind that I wouldn't be half the RP'er I am now (but I'm not a prideful person, I don't think I'm nearly as good as others).

You don't know how good you are. No one does in their eyes. However, we all know we can get better. Everyone can always improve.

I quite agree, Jonas, even though you're a Fallout-er I have several fond memories of RPing alongside you, particularly in the horribly managed yet dastardly fun RP "The Runaways" by Dark Fox. I would have loved to continue such an RP, it had such great potential, but suffered from a few people dropping out and a bit of poor hosting. Not to mention my Hannibal Lecter character, by far one of the most uber yet awesomely fun people I've ever done

Anyway, as I was saying, I do not think anyone would doubt your improvement, along with your skill :tops: While not all of us will go down in forum history like IN, Sparrow, FC4, Nova, HK, Ambrose, Rumple, Alexander, ADETH, Elgen, Aula, Uglius, IB, Sibera, Peleus, etc. (as many people as I can think of off the top of my head that I know and respect, basically) we can still have an awesome time doing it

Hey there. If you guys need any help with the mass forum-section-necromancy, I'm willing to pitch in. As it happens, I was about to start writing a story based around some Dunmer characters I have from Great House Dres. I've played Oblivion and Morrowind, so I was going to intertwine details from both, resulting in Varis Dres' transition from the Deshaan Planes to the Imperial City of Cyrodil. I'm going to try and include some details about the areas in question, including a trek to Tear, raids into the Black Marsh and a political intrigue that results in the migration.

I've been trying to scraqe together as much detail as possible about House Dres and the Planes, which is difficult considering the scarcity of information. I've used all the information I could get however, and built a loose framework to build on. For descriptions of the Planes, I'm just going to roll with what Tamriel Rebuilt came up with. Now, on to the meat of the matter. The Tribune's hold over Varis would be waning, after Amalexia's mysterious disappearance greatly weakened the religion. Due to this, many of the junior members of House Dres are reverting back to the worship and veneration of the Anticipations; Boethiah, Azura, and Mephala. Varis as a character would contain a potent blend of conservative and liberal (for a Dres Dunmer) ideas, that would result in his alienating both elements.

Varis would be devoted in main to Boethiah, followed by Azura, while not approving of the underhand trickery associated with Mephala and her patron organisation the Morag Tong. The Daedra would be treated with respect, as required by its status, but would be held in lower esteem than the other two. Molag Bal would be seen as the archenemy, as befitting his past with Varis' people. Due to this, worshippers at his shrines would be butchered without hesitation.

Wow. It would be awesome if you actually do write that story. Procrastination's the bane of Authors.

When in doubt, make stuff up!

I'm considering writing my Arena Fanfic, but I never make the time to do so.

I figured there was no time like the present, and http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1160438-varis-venture/. Thought if I didn't do it now, I'd never get around to it.

I'm doing one, myself. It's fun to "update" and weave together the lore from Arena with the more modern lore of Morrowind and Oblivion.

Trying to justify some of the dungeons in Arena with a modern lore perspective can be pretty difficult, sometimes, especially the Crypt of Hearts. Others, like the Labyrinthian, are super-easy, though.

To all the people who've made this forum great, I offer Flin (better known as Cyrodiilic Brandy) and to all of you who have been practicing and improving, I offer Ancient Dagoth Brandy (Probably best if you don't read what it does, but it tastes great, it's 240-Proof (for times when 110% just isn't enough).

Mine would actually be more in favor of following Arena's original concept (A rag-tag team of Travelling Gladiators who occassionally foray into the wilderness on side quests), that will be sort-of concurrent with the published ARENA storyline (Prisoner trying to overthrow Jagar Tharn), before taking a left turn at Awesomeville and turning into a The Elder Scrolls/Bad Dudes crossover fic (EMPEROR URI HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED BY DEMONS! ARE YOU BAD ENOUGH TO RESCUE THE EMPEROR?]

Battlespire's plot will also be worked in. And Dragons.

Of course, I think I may want to write my "Battle For Ald'Ruhn" fanfic first, starring an Ohmes-Raht Who-thinks-he's-a-Breton Nerevarine/Hortator of the Houses/Redoran Archmaster/Knight of the Imperial Dragon/Fighter's Guild Champion/Master Thief, his Cathay Werewolf sidekick, Saint Jiub the Steam Centurian Dunmer Cyborg (And Former Hero of all Time, to boot!), and the largest, most ridiculous conspiracy ever trying to defend Ald'Ruhn against more and bigger Daedra than you can shake a Staff of Chaos at.


Flin and Cyrodiilic Brandy are different drinks entirely.

Better learn how to Role-play and write fanfica, lol. Will there be an award this year: 2011?

If everything stays active then it is likely. It's a shame no one is voting for 2010. I guess things weren't active enough.

We had some great stuff earlier in the year. I made United Bretony. Mech Menace remake was made in March. Black Plague came along. So did Hammer & Anvil. We had a few awesome RP's. Horror of the North was started in 2010. However, I didn't see anyone improve. If I had to give the Best RPer award, I could. I didn't keep up with fanfictions. Perhaps it wasn't the year for awards.

I remember my first RP years ago, I used a super duber character. But nowadays, I really weakened them a bit, if you get my meaning. Yes, I only roleplay vampire and werewolf characters, and no, they aren't anti-social or powerful.The "rules" are placed for a good reason,: To avoid conflicting characters, or at least, help resist it. There are a few things I dislike about it, but I agree with it, some of it.

If I may ask, are you a big fan of the Twilight series, or the older Vampire stuff?

No, I'm no Twilight fan. The series really changed views on both vampires and "werewolves" and people who like werewolves, it generally has us "monster" lovers questioned. But I liked vampires and werewolves way before the series. Ever since I was eleven years old. I'm a Dracula and Wolfman fan. Don't get me wrong, I would write about romantic stories, but with twisted...twists and such.

Why do you ask?

I'm just making sure you still have some originality and sanity in you, and seeing that you do, I would like to say that I agree. I can deal with vampire stuff, but only the older stuff. I won't say I am a huge, gigantic fan of it, but it is somewhat appealing, yes.

*Bro fist* and *bro hug*

Glad to hear that. Yes, I am sane.

As for the forums, I expected it to be very active after Skyrim's announcement, it still has a new, fewer threads. But I do expect more Rpers and "Fanfic-ers".
