First off, good Sir, thou needst clean up thy speak. I cannot understand thee.

Mine tongue hath rules, aye, rules of grammar and syntax. Study them well, else a slip of the tongue may lead to a slip of the dagger.

Speak frank, good sir, and mayhap if thou askst politely, the lady may impart on thee a lesson or two in archaic English.

Dear lady, wouldst though impart upon thee a lesson in archaic speak?

Speak frank, I say, speak frank! Until thou hast learned my tongue, thou canst not use it and expect me to understand it!

I cannot impart upon myself what I already know, Sir Wolf.

*breaking tongue*

But isn't thee used also to refer back to one's self? Thus, what I said would be spoken in modern tongue as such: Dear lady, would you (I wrote though, but I meant thou) impart upon me a lesson in archaic speaking?

Where I got my info must have been wrong on multiple parts... As it said "do/does" was doth, and apparently that is not the case, either. Shame I can't recall now where that was to warn against it.

Anyways, would you please give me a lesson in speaking this olden tongue?

Kneel Ery, for I dub thee the [glow=gold,2,300]Gold Knight.[/glow] This is a supreme color of the Knights. The only conditions I have for you that you may keep this mantle is to be a grand example to all other Knights, like the Banner, and that you will wield the KONTWF's prize Weapon. The Weapon has been a secret so far from most everyone. It is powerful, magnificent, and worthy of the best. I can only give this to the person who claims the Gold Knight mantle. If you fail in any way to be the Gold Knight you will lose the mantle and it will be given to another more worthy. Can you except these responsibilites and not fail?


Psycho, the issue of the "color" Shadow will be decided now. It's not a color. If you want to become a Master of the Shadows or at least an advocate then join the Mages. I just wanted a color from almost each member so that they might be defined from one another in battle, duty, and relationships.

Here is the list of Knights and what their colors are so no one is repeating colors:

Snow Shinobi = White Knight
Rider = Red Knight
Pyro = Black Knight
Kat = Purple Knight
Wolf = Green Knight
Dragon = Silver Knight
Kit = Grey Knight
Madz = Yellow Knight
Elycien = Sapphire Knight
Frozen = Blue Knight
Fenrix = Amber Knight
Draco = Azure Knight
Tamia = Orange Knight
Ginz = Pink Knight
Ikkin = Indigo Knight
Nocturne = Emerald Knight
Ery = Undetermined
Shade = Undetermined
Psycho = Undetermined
Kaljinyu = Undetermined

A Shade of Blue...I am the [glow=white,2,300]White Knight[/glow]. You must pick another mantle.

Aww... So white, silver, gray and black are all taken? Um... Blue-gray if possible, bronze if not. And my name's Shade.

[zhunter]

Welcome, Shade. Bronze, Crimson, and Brown are still available for the color of your mantle.

Bronze.

[zhunter]

Alright then, Shade. Kneel.

...

Rise and greet the new day for you are dubbed...The [glow=brown,2,300]Bronze Knight![/glow]

What is your choice of weapon, Sir Shade?

Katana.

[zhunter]

It is done then. Your persona then looks like this:

Name: Sir Shade
Mantle: Bronze Knight
Weapon: Katana

You may disregard the "Sir" if it irks you to no end.

I don't mind the 'Sir'.

Um... You've given titles to most of the other knights. Are you going to give one to me? *puppy eyes*

[zarikrahia]

Name: Zari Bookmaster
Colour: Red!

My weapons range from magic to swords to a ballpoint pen.
By having a ball point pen as a weapon, I mean I write in midair and divert the word so it can do what I want it to.

Red's taken. You can have Crimson if you want, though. And choose one weapon.

[zhunter]

Thanks for explaining, Shade.

So, Shade...You want a title do you?

I make you the Bronze Phoenix. You are my close ally. Greatness rubs off on you and makes you powerful in turn. use your gifts wisely.

That's an awesome title. *bows* Thank you, Sir Shinobi.

I'm not using archaic english, rather I'm attempting to use what is known as "middle english" - Shakespeare was only a little more modern than this.

www.bardweb.net/content/thou.html is a site that explains the use of "thee" and "thou" pretty well, I guess.

I'll give you some examples of when to use either one, though.

Thou for subjects only.

"Thou shalt not insult Psycho."
"I shall be thy friend if thou art willing."

Thee for indirect and direct objects (I think it's called an objective pronoun?)

"I give thee my friendship."
"I give my friendship to thee."

I do simple verb conjugations also and I steer away from the imperative, mostly because i haven't learned how to use it yet. As for "me" and "my", I leave it as is.
