I'm in charge of the what now? *wonders if many sixteen-year-olds who had been knighted for less than a year became military leaders* I don't know how Tamia will take to this news, but... I'll do my best. ^^ Most of the army's doings will probably be jointly planned by several knights, at least.

You got the job because:

(A) You don't own a phoenix

(B) You won't blow us up

(C) You're young and attractive

and (D) You can spell your name backwards and therefore put people in line.

Wolf: To serve as my second-in-command, my right-hand man, I wish to appoint Sir Shino the White Knight to the Stewardship of Dunburrow.
Shino: WOO HOO!!! *does victory dance*

Ikkin and I working together? 0_o! Sounds like fun.

Shade...Shade...*Eregon reference*...Sorry...couldn't help myself.

The duties of the Royal Envoy are —

- to gather intelligence
- to oversee foreign relationships (esp. w/ Ninjas and Pirates)
- to charge foreigners with the right to expulsion
- to advise the king to expel

Right... I don't know how the first one is going to work in the roleplay. The second one is going to be intersting if there's another Guild War. The third just means that I'm making sure that foreigners know that we can kick them out of the kingdom if we want to, right? And the fourth means that I should tell the king is I think someone needs to be kicked out.

This is going to be very interesting...

EDIT:: In the roleplay, how do we know what our duties are?

[zhunter]

You new Council Members are awfully negative. XP

I will post soon, for anyone who cares...don't worry.

Hmm... *looks at my duties*

Let's see...

The first three are straightforward, though I'm not entirely sure how I could use them in the RP. Maybe I could be in charge of the castle's historical records/maps/library or something? That might be helpful if we need to search for particular information, particularly the history and description of whatever enemy we face. Unless we're trying to turn this into a more political RP? That seems harder to do, though. Not sure how the education thing would fit in otherwise.

The RP needs only be as political as it needs to be to be fun... Get too political, and I might as well pursue the Presidency. j/k. I understand that it might be hard to make some of these things fit in the RP, hence why I've asked for discussion...

Counseling I can do (and seems to fit in well with the RP environment), but the aid thing seems more open. What kind of aid would that be, beyond the normal expectations of a knight?

Hmm... Um, by aid, I meant like... *thinks* What did I mean? I had something in mind, obviously, but it hath since slipped me of its presence... *thinks longer, harder* I think, by aid, I had meant in assisting with more executive matters, such if Wolf needed something done, he could tell Ikkin to do it. >.>

As for presiding over internal affairs... what exactly is meant by "internal affairs" and does this conflict/overlap with Shino's "direct[ing] the domestic affairs of the kingdom?" Domestic and internal are synonymous - are we working together at that, or are there two different things meant here?

Yet another good point, one I hadn't quite seen like that. For the domestic affairs, I figured things like how the kingdom is run on a daily basis, whereas this I had seen as things unordinary (such as, domestic affairs would be how things run smoothly, and an internal affair would be...like, treason or something. It made more sense until you made me put it into words -_-).

Just trying to get a feel for what I should be doing, exactly, so I won't be overstepping any bounds. ^^;

Not a problem. Though things might look really well-thought out, they're not quite so much and need smoothing out. Judicial review, one could say.

Well, you told me you had interest in being a spymaster, and this is kinda like that. ("Spymaster" might upset the peasants, so i couldn't use it. lol) I'm figuring...if enemies ever come up in the RP (as they should *shifty eyes*), you could play Knight Recon V.3.14.

In addition to that, I could add more relevant duties if anyoe has any ideas that'd fit.

This is going to be very interesting...

I hope so.

EDIT:: In the roleplay, how do we know what our duties are?

*ponders* Intuitive insight...? Pamphlets...?

The kingdom is magical, so we can say that with the bestowing of a title, you innately know your duties... (Or that the titles themselves are enough to heavily imply exactly what the bearers need to do?)

Let's not confuse negative with...um...well, I've not yet read the RP, so maybe I shouldn't talk?

amateurwriter said:

I just find it strange that it's me managing the affairs of the Knights with the Mages, and not Ikkin, who's in charge of the Mages and is also a knight. XD Never mind.

Um...come again?

*blink blink*

I think I understand what you're talking about...

kitclairvoyance said:

You do know that I hate law with a passion right?

Either way, I doubt that my position will have much influence on the roleplay. Like, how often do we have a court case happen anyway?

Um...you do? Oh, um...sorry?

And, well, I was thinking we can make trials come up or something...that'd be fun.

Hmm... would you rather be the Arbiter, and Kit can be the Marshal?

[Tam]

Wolf - that could work, I guess. It sort of depends on whether my position would be any better for Kit. One way or another, I can work with my position, but the Marshal would be a much bigger challenge, I think. I'm not trying to be ungrateful or anything - I'm actually hugely honoured - but I don't know how well I could fill that position. ^^;

Crystal's picture... it... it owns me. ; *glomptacklehugs* Thank you so much! ^_^ My persona doesn't have a trademark uniform persay, so it looks perfect. And Oran is so huggable. xD

Yes, it is. Just with diplomacy added in, which is the part that should be interesting in the roleplay.

Most of the titles imply their duties, but 'Royal Envoy' doesn't say 'Intellegence Gathering'. So I'll go with the Magical Plot-hole.

Awww, thanks ^__^ Glad you liked it. I'll just reupload it once I'm done with the finished version, I guess.

[zhunter]

Close to when we first began this guild I had the picture below for a dress reference for the Coronation of the King (for men). Now I ask you...Which of our Knights do these guys look like?



Oh, and I'm going over past threads and psots just for the fun of it. ^__^

A) This is true.

B) You may believe what you want to believe.

C) -_-; I was wondering how long I would manage to stay off your list.

D) Aimat demands that every sword in the castle be polished and painted orange. Now.

xD That was sort of scary to type.

[zarikrahia]

Zari: *salutes* *paints her sword orange* Yesma'am!

xD Couldn't help it

[Deleted]

Oh, Frostcrystal, that colored picture is simply mesmerizing...woah! GREAT JOB!!!

I see now why Shino finds Tamia attractive.

As for the council, it is primarily an advisory body, as Shino said in the OoT thread. However, as I believe no man can run a country all his own, they can execute actual power until the king has their heads for it. >.> Okay, this king is rather lenient, so... besides, he fully trusts his council and nights. ^_^

Okay, okay, the true reason that they have power is because a purely advisory council would have been boring... Come on, where's the internal conflict in that?! :D

DISCUSSION TOPIC: Profiles Thread

I was over there, in the East wing o' the cas'le, 'bout ready to update my — holy crimson Flagrah! There's a spider on my monitor—no, wait, I got it. *sigh of relief* Alright, where was I...? Oh, yes, as I was saying, I was about to update my profile, and I simply found it peculiar that, since the Knights' quarter of the cas'le is in the North wing, the profiles happen to be in the East. Certainly, information would be logically kept in the library, but do we all, honestly, have publically-available records...? After all, aren't the profiles meant to serve as a sort of "get-to-know-you" guide for the payers, not the characters themselves...?

So...should we start a new profiles thread, rename the one we have, or just not care about it?
