And I'm out! Clarifications: First, Kell, based the result of sword-stab off our conversations in Discord. The collision isn't intended as an attack, just a consequence of momentum with the suit and not wanting to try and stop hard which would result in it falling down, possibly on Teras. Given this is a cut post you shouldn't take actual damage from it. Second, suit flying: cleared with Starflame on Discord. Suit couldn't fly but in this case Wind is helping Ee-nuk make a speedy exit. Decided this was the swiftest extrication of Ee-nuk from the Earth-Dark-Energy mixup that's due to happen soon. Third: Music Ref

Kellehendros -> RE: =EC 2017= Finals OOC (8/27/2017 23:43:58)
As it turns out, I wound up squeaking the post in without the need for the extension. Thanks to Starflame for providing it anyways.

Rayen -> RE: =EC 2017= Finals OOC (8/28/2017 10:16:59)
Super close to the deadline, but I'd completely jumbled myself up thinking I had a whole other day to post. Star has granted me a 2hr extension to get things slightly less rough-looking (bless her soul). Edit: Now that I've posted, I'll note that Kooroo gave permission to throw Irina to the ground and all events surrounding that.

Ronin Of Dreams -> RE: =EC 2017= Finals OOC (8/28/2017 16:38:59)
I wound up having to cover for family issues earlier today, and given my work shift tonight... As a safety measure, I would like to request an extension to midnight tonight Director Starflame. My intent is to not need it, but I cannot guarantee being able to finish and polish the post while at work and it would not be the first time old settings on my account would prevent me from logging in from there. I believe the latter is fixed, but either way. Safe rather than sorry and it would not be the first time work gives me no time to relax on a break and type a bit.

Starflame13 -> RE: =EC 2017= Finals OOC (8/28/2017 16:43:36)
Rayen got lucky and caught me right before I shut off my computer to ask for her extension. As a rule, the earlier you warn me that you need one, the more time you're likely to get to work with/the more willing I will be to work with you. Ronin, you have a 4 hour extension, which should put your idle out timer to just before 1am. I would still recommend aiming before midnight so as to have a post up before the cut, but the extension is there if it is needed! Keep up the good work, everyone! We're nearing the home stretch!

Writing an Alien Mind, that being a mind with different perceptions, realities, and even sometimes definitions from that of a Human or mostly Human mind, sometimes leads to difficulties. I'm going to address a facet of my post here in regards to that. Are swords a machine? By scientific definition, they certainly are a machine, as all tools are machines. Mostly class 1 levers, at that. But given the Alien Mind paradigm, the perceived usage of the word machine differs from ours. The Jackal uses the concept of machine to describe something with high complexity and numerous moving parts. This should be clear given the context following the use of the term. One of my editors did not see it this way, and thus the explanation here. Also, I managed some time at work to type and also managed to post from here. That was serendipity...albeit at the cost of a longer shift now. Ta for now!

Second to last cut, and the competition is intense! Everyone is doing well so far, but it's time once again to decrease your numbers, and a decision has been made. As always, any posts made after 12:01am on Tuesday, August 29th were not considered in this decision. Kooroo, I love how Irina has developed as a character throughout the competition, and I feel that you've improved with each post. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading her story, but it's time for her part in the EC's to end. I hope to see you return next year with an even stronger contender! Details for how to handle a departing post after a Cut can be found in the first post of this thread, but you will need to choose to either Submit, Surrender, or attack in Spite. Any of those remaining (or Kooroo in their farewell post), may include the following flavor text if you are so inclined to do so! quote: Though no clouds covered the sun, its brilliance seemed to dim overhead as the chanters faced the crowds again. Soft and somber, their voices echoed out across the sands. "However bright the day, it must in time yield to the coming twilight. By the Will of the Arena, light's gentle glow must fade away from its halls. We now bear witness to Irina's choice, as warriors will honor her determination in the years to come." The final cut will occur at 12:01 AM on Friday, August 1st

Rayen -> RE: =EC 2017= Finals OOC (8/31/2017 12:33:21)
As a note for my latest post, Kooroo may choose to defer to my post for the events which transpire during Irina's remaining time in the arena. This'll allow him to focus on Irina's outtro and non-arena details. And as usual, everything was discussed and agreed upon by the both of us.

Ronin Of Dreams -> RE: =EC 2017= Finals OOC (8/31/2017 20:47:35)
I include a very specific curiosity which I found during my research into jackals in preparation for this character, now oh so long ago as that was. I rather wish I kept a note of which one specifically for just this moment for citation purposes, but this is what I found out: Jackals cannot, in fact, curl their lips in the typical “baring fangs” expression that other canids often can due to their particular biology. This causes a distinct lack of expressions that often, in ancient times, lent the air of greater wisdom, mischief, or cunning to the breed.

Ryu Viranesh -> RE: =EC 2017= Finals OOC (8/31/2017 23:19:24)
Just to ensure that this is clear: all details relevant to their characters were discussed in advance with Kell and Ronin.

And we're in the home stretch! This will be the FINAL cut, and I had quite the headache in attempting to make the decision, too. All four of the remaining contestants are outstanding writers, and all four of you deserve immense praise and recognition, but only three will move forward. As always, any posts made after 12:01am on Tuesday, August 29th were not considered in this decision. Rayen, you are an amazing writer, and you've given Molly a wonderfully intriguing backstory. I've loved reading your posts and watching her personality and story develop, and I think you've done an outstanding job in keeping "the old crow" alive and kicking. I'm sorry to see her leave before the finals, but I look forward to seeing you again next year with just as incredible a performance. Details for how to handle a departing post after a Cut can be found in the first post of this thread, but you will need to choose to either Submit, Surrender, or attack in Spite. Any of those remaining (or Rayen in their farewell post), may include the following flavor text if you are so inclined to do so! quote: The smell of salty brine drifted across the sands as the chanters swung about towards the audience. Their voices rolled and bubbled, a cascading chorus that called forth as one. "As the high tide rolls away to reveal sandy beaches, so too does water now withdraw from the desert dunes. By the Will of the Arena, the drought shall continue ever on. We now bear witness to Molly's choice, as adventurers will find inspiration in her legend in the years to come." Those remaining now have 4 Days to fully utilize the rest of their skill. You will not idle out at this point, but I strongly recommend getting in a last couple posts over the weekend. The Arena will close at 12:01am on Tuesday, September 5th. Please give your poor judge at least a day after that to make, and reveal, the final decision! As always, stick around for these last rounds of spectacular posting, and for the final reveal, as well as for the reveal of Gingkage's and mine next big project for the RP forums…

Starflame13 -> RE: =EC 2017= Finals OOC (9/5/2017 0:01:32)
And the Final Thread is locked until the Decision! The Champion will be revealed at some point tomorrow. A huge congratulations to our final three, and an even bigger thank you to every competitor! We had a truly outstanding Elemental Championships this year, and I hope to see all of you (and more) return for next years tournament! Gingkage and I do have something to reveal in the interim between the EC's, so stay tuned for the final decision and the reveal of the newest section to the RP forums!

Starflame13 -> RE: =EC 2017= Finals OOC (9/5/2017 19:48:00)
Deliberations have ended, discussions have been concluded, and a decision has been made: Please offer your congratulations to Ryu Viranesh, this year's Champion!!! The thread is now unlocked for Ryu, and by extension the final 3 (and others still delaying), to make their finale and exit posts! I have no flavor text for you in the actual granting of the boon, Ryu, but if you wish you may include the following: quote: As a cool, soothing shadow swept across the sands, the chanters turned for the last time to face the roaring crowds. In strong, triumphant voices, they declared; "The tournament has ended, and the Champion, revealed! By the Will of the Arena, and the Lords that govern its domain, Darkness has claimed victory! Cyril Kovac stands as Champion! We now bear witness to his Decision, as his name will be remembered by all in the years to come. Once again, a huge congratulations and thank you to Ryu, our final three, all eight Paragons, and each and every combatant this year! All of you contributed into making this tournament run smoothly and as wonderfully as it did! Now, for a slightly different reveal… Ginkage and I have created a new section for the RP forums, Combat Training! It should be going live in the next week, and will be located in the RPA sub-forum. We'll make further announcements once it's live, too! The Combat Training forums will be a space for people to test out new characters, get some combat practice in an EC-style setting, or even just to have some fun beating each other's characters senseless. It follows a method similar to the RPA, but maintains a much higher focus on combat, and can be re-entered as many times as you like. You will also have the ability to design the arenas that you will be competing in (2-4 people per match). Further rules, information, and clarification can be found in the Welcome thread and Rules thread of the Combat Training forums, as soon as they go live! Thank you once more to all who competed, and I sincerely hope to see some of you around in the Combat Training once it goes live, and all of you return for next year's Elemental Championships!
