Hey guys.
Well, this RP seems to be rather dead, but I thought I'd mention this anyway. I'm not really a guild member anymore, but I used to be, and after I left you guys have still used my Mageri enemies as NPCs for roleplays and stuff, with my permission.
Also after I left this guild, and the Mercenaries, I used some elements that I'd come up with for my characters in them and used them for a novel I started writing. Flight Over Telethar. Alerid, my messenger character from the Mercenaries, became a main character - although one completely unrecognizeable from his Mercenary form. The Mageri also play a major role - I based much of my heroine Sherieth's backstory on mage!Elycien's, although other things were changed, of course. At the same time I redid a lot of the Mageri stuff and developed them a bit more.
And... I don't know. I was just reading through your mage RP and some of it was making me really uncomfortable. On the one hand, it was kind of fun seeing my Mageri all over being RPed by people. On the other hand... they really weren't "my" Mageri at all. Really, at this point in time, they were as unrecognizeable as Mageri as mercenary-Alerid is unrecognizeable as Alerid.
Of course this isn't your fault. I came up with the Mageri style of magic after this RP began, I believe, so I wouldn't have told it to you guys when it started. Also when I changed Telethar, the Mageri homeland, from a medieval-fantasy style kingdom into a steampunk world, with all the society changes and name changes that go along with that. A lot of other things, like the Mageri politics and intrigue which are important in the second book... of course you wouldn't know about them at all. Still, though, I'm reading this RP and find myself... not sure about it.
So I thought I'd post about this. If this RP really is kinda dead, of course it doesn't matter. But I thought I should let you guys know. I was going to ask you not to use the Mageri anymore, but now I'm not entirely sure I want to do that, so... I'll just post my concerns and hopefully we can figure this out. ^^;;
