Hey, nothing personal... I'm almost to

because there's several people I'm not interested in
attacking.

Randi was knocked
against the wall by, what seemed to be a violent earthquake.
Dust floated from the decorated walls as Randi felt the ground
tipping itself forward.
Randi grasped the ledge of the
elevator. "Are we...moving?!"
OOC: Thought I'd
add a little spice to the setting. Someone's gotten into the
lower levels and has started the transformation to the mobile

I'll add more to who's doing it, unless

"Urrrrggh!"
Exclaimed Ayla as the ground shuddered and tipped forward,
causing everyone in the cafeteria to fall to the ground. Ayla
picked herself up quickly and watched as everyone else climbed
back to their feet. Ayla felt the sensation of moving
beneath her feet and watched the ground. She then realised
that had forgotten about the subject whom she was watching,
the strange woman, and looked around for her, but she had
gone... ------------------------------

“I am alive again! Ahahahaha!” bellowed
Golbez as he cut a swath across the Garden. He felled his foes
with great force and vigour. Nothing would be able to get
between him and his ultimate goal. Nothing he could
comprehend, at least.
“Excellent work Golbez. You will
show them all how it is truly done. However, there are those
who have wronged you more so than others, is this not correct?
I think it is. I think you know as well as I what you must do
soon. Strike down the one who is to blame for your misfortune!
The one who you need not gain acceptance from! He who is not
fit to receive even your pity! Strike him down, and the truth
shall be at last revealed to you!”
Golbez slowed his
pace, and found a small corridor in which to rest. “What is it
that you mean? The one who has wronged me is Zemus, and he has
long passed from this life. I saw it with my own eyes, his
dark legacy holds no more concern for me.”
“Oh, but
doesn’t it? Besides, it is not he that I speak of. Look
farther within to find what you are looking for.”

OOC: Good, I finally was able to get on
again... ---- Squall and his team had dispatched and
targeted another person...thank God. Wait, what am I saying? I
mean...not all of us have the intention of hurting
someone...and I was the one who said that. I should've helped
out. I cringed with guilt.
Then my other side came
out. This is a tournament. YOu have to take care of yourself.
Kill or be killed. But...still...
I ran over to the
next area, ducking behind another plant. A few more uniformed
students ran past, without noticing me. I suddenly
shivered...how did it get so cold all of a sudden, anyways?
Oh. The water's...frozen? Hey, that girl's frozen too.
That girl in blue...how is that possible?
I slowly
walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulder. Frozen solid.
Yikes...
I noticed a blonde running in the other
direction, mumbling to herself. Had she done this?
"Hey!" I exclaimed, trying to catch up with her. She
stopped and turned to face me, hesitantly. She looked unsure
of herself.
"...Yes...?" She asked me.
"Um,
well...you're in this too, right? The tournament, I mean."
She nodded slowly in response.
"I just wanted
to say...that, uh...be careful," I finally managed, trying to
smile. She looked unnerved.
"...Thank you..."
I fumbled around in my robe, and looked at what was in
my hand. A Star Light. My last one. But...on impulse, I threw
it to her. She caught it in her hand, and smiled back at me.
Then, looking back at me quickly, she turned and ran back in
the direction she was heading.
I suppose that makes up
for not helping out before. I feel better, actually. Even if
this is a tournament...helping people liberates me. It's just
the way I am. Sue me.
Then the ground below me started
to rumble and shake... ---- OOC: 1 r-vote to
Princess Zelda.
Also, I can't work this into my
story, but: One r-vote to Rydia. That's all for
now...^^
EDIT: I love the idea, Nif. XD It spices
things up a bit (this is one of the slower moving rounds).

VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
Due to the instability of the forums at this time, the
6th FFO Survivor Tournament has been cancelled and postponed
until January 2nd. A new drafting thread will start on
December 19th, and any person in this tournament who wants to
simply join up with the exact same character and EX-Type just
has to say, "I'm here!", and they'll be added. You can also
join with different characters if you wish, and people who
weren't able to make the first one will also be welcome to
join. There will be some rule tweaking, some locale
rearrangement, and a slightly different story the next time
around, so don't think for a moment it'll just be a repeat for
the first few days; the tournament will be as fun and exciting
as always!
See you in eleven days!

Gotcha. Just so it doesn't go to waste, I
might as well post what I wrote during the downtime...
-----
“Peel back the layers of your mind. Do it
now, look within your own thoughts to the deeper meaning.
Think back to the words you heard, the things you felt. Dig
down, more than before. Do you see how this works now? Do you
understand how they will never accept you for what you are?”
“I think I can. I can almost feel their contempt for
me, for what I’ve done. This hope is only clouding my
judgment…”
“You’re tainted, Golbez. Inferior in their
eyes. The world views you as an abomination, a simple reminder
of the pain inflicted over the years. They all wish you would
disappear, as though you never existed. Never felt, never
hoped. They want you dead, the least you can do is repay them
all in kind.” The raspy voice hissed slightly.
Golbez
opened his eyes the carnage around him. He searched for the
face of his brother, unsure of what he should do if he were to
find him. He scanned, and finally located the warrior.
Cecil glanced up from the battle and locked eyes with
Golbez. Then he turned sharply, and left.
“We started
out the same, you and I. One of us was to bathe in the light
of the heavens, while the other to wallow in the shame of this
wretched existence. It could have been you.” Golbez wasn’t
sure what he was thinking, if they were thoughts he should
even be considering. But they burned at his heart, and had to
be acknowledged.
“Damn you Zemus for ever choosing
me…”
------------------------------------------------------
“I hate them all, but I have no reason to. Is there
something wrong with me? I don’t remember ever feeling quite
like this before. Did I feel like this when Zemus had control
over me? I don’t remember…”
“No…” is snarled at him.
“It was never quite like this before. Then you had no choice,
now you can decide what to hate on your own. Now you can
choose your own battles and destroy all those who would stand
opposed to your will. Isn’t this freedom wonderful? Isn’t this
freedom horrid? Do you see the lies? Can you feel the truth?”
“Stop it, please. You’re only confusing me…I’m so
confused. I don’t know what to think, to feel, anymore. I wish
I could be like I was, free from these choices. And him…he
torments me with his presence, his mere existence burns at
me.”
“And what will you do? He is your brother, after
all.”
“I don’t know…I hate this place…”
I... will... not... perish... as... long... as...
there... is... evil... in... the... hearts... of...
people...

Krizak: You mentioned that new people
could join or that current members could switch characters.
Would I be able to switch to Sponsor? I'm not sure if I will
or not, but I'd like to know how you'd handle that. After all,
I can't have my brother (Chaos) have all the fun, can I?
PS: What had happened was a lot of
fun, though. It wasn't perfect, but then, with a diverse bunch
like us, how could it be? I just wanted to let you know that Ben and I were
having a blast, and thanks for doing your part hosting: I've
done things like this before (not quite this scale, but close)
and I know how hectic it can be.

This is definitely for
the best. Even though I won't have quite as much time, I'll
still be able to sponser. It's no fun trying to role-play with
all of the bandwidth problems, so hopefully everything'll be
working by then.
Krizak: Would it be possible to give
a one-day grace period when the drafting starts for previous
sponsers and sidekicks to reclaim their character? It would
really suck if someone took Locke because they saw the thread
before I did.

Kriz, when you post the new drafting
thread, how about you also post the original member/character
list? Say something along the lines of people not being able
to take a character unless the person who chose him/her
originally decides to change. That way everyone gets to keep
their chosen characters unless they choose someone else. Keep
the sponsor list clear to fill up, though, so more people get
a chance to bump up a character from Sidekick to Sponsor and
there's less chance that no-shows'll get in.

you put me down for the drafting with the same character and

What? DAMN! All my hard work, gone to
waste...
Does this mean that all the events in this
tournament never happened, and all the character relationships
built during this tournament are gone?
Well, looks
like Gryz got his chance for a rematch with the Scarlet
Magician...
Anyway, I'll certainly still have Koren - I
have a sub-plot to take to an end. Though I might have to
become a Sidekick, this time... I'm not sure I'll have the
time otherwise, and besides, with the nasty anti-Dark
sentiments others seem to harbor, there's a good chance I'd
bite the bullet too early anyway to make for a good story...
but Sponsoring is also just so much more fun. Oh, I'll just
decide it later.
By the way, I've made a few
observations about the system already, especially in terms of
Dark characters (having played one, duh). The few main things
I've seen that the inability to use R-Votes is pretty painful,
as good characters can basically shower in them. Also, having
8 Attack Votes is more of a hinderance than a blessing, as
attacking tends to cause people to counterattack, since one
can't attack the same characters twice, making them "easy"
targets - especially during the first, "No private votes"
round. Certainly, Manipulation is magnificently fun as I've
already noticed - no doubt the best of the special abilities -
but regardless, Dark is probably the weakest of the classes.
Now, what would help, then? How about that the Dark
Ex-Type has a second special ability named, say, Stamina,
which basically functions as two extra R-Votes used for them
at the end of each round. Those R-Votes couldn't, of course,
be used for others. Seeing that Dark characters are naturally
bound to get much more random attack votes than others (with
the "He's evil so it doesn't matter if I kill him" sentiments
on the loose here), it might make things a bit more fair.
Perhaps Shadow characters could use Stamina, as well, although
since they have one R-vote, they could have just one point of
Stamina or something.

The voting system is changing, Darkken.
It hasn't been finalised yet but I think that every sponsor
now gets 8 A-Votes and 4 R-Votes now regardless of EX-Type,
the differences between the classes being decided by special
abilities.
Tell you what, come along to Random
Insanity (the FFO Survivor messageboard) and post some
suggestions in the 'Plans for the Future' forum.

I'm probably going ot change characters.
Flammie's cool, but most of the venues the tourney takes place
in calls for human-size contestants. Plus the lack of
background for her made it a little hard.
I think I'll go Dark this time. After all,
they have more fun.
