I'm just imagining this whole color-coding party now... It's making me giggle-snort.
The voices in my head tell me that we saved the world. However, they also told me that George Clooney's face is on the dollar bill, so... meh. The voices are more fun, anyway.

Quest 18: Knocking on the wrong door.

With the city guard too busy tending its own business and the appearance of a guild comprised of assassins, the townspeople are getting restless. A group of concerned, but mostly paranoid people have gathered in secret to defend themselves. They are poorly equipped and they lack real combat ability, yet their rashness is not to be taken lightly. Furthermore, there are rumors of a young teenager seeking out this so called Assassin Guild, dead set on joining their ranks... and neither the guild nor the paranoid will stand for this.
Your goal: Prevent a confrontation between both factions and keep the teenager out of trouble.
Quest Takers: Anji (eli_gone_crazy) and Marcus (Guyshane).

GM Notes: Protecting the teenager is your biggest priority. You don't have to stop him from joining or being offered to join, though that would be the ideal case.
Why should we do the right thing?
-Well... because it's the right thing to do, there's no other good reason.

Am I a bad guy trying to be good, or a good guy trying to convince himself that he's not the bad guy?

Eh, it's the kind of thing I'd expect from him. Still not sure how he got around the no-harm thing, though.
So, apparently I'm the sanest madman this side of the international date line. Seems legit.

Er... Xana, could I make a selfish request? Namely, could you please change the name of the NPC you just introduced. I already brought in a character named Scarlet, and having two running around with the same name would be really confusing. I would change my NPC's name, but that would break both the mismatched names gag and my general theme naming scheme. :/

You guys... I was supposed to be the evil one here XD!

But that actually might fit with something I wanted to do... I must go think :P

So I believe I promised Isla Kariese a character drawing when her exams were over. This is the beginning of it. Still missing a lot, but ya know. Perspective stinks.

I've seen a tip on how to draw perspective correctly and it was all about turning everything into prisms and cubes.

Lemme see if I can find it. I also want it by the way, so I just found me the perfect excuse to try and find it.

Oh silly Victin. You NEVER need an excuse to do some perspective drawing :D

I know I don't, I just want to find where it explains how to use the cube and prisms. I remember some of it, but not enought I can do it myself on my Physics class :P

Seems some of us have been working on the TV Tropes page for this. We need to create a character page and all those other side pages, and I would suggest we all add our own characters to the character page.

Also, we have a character page: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/C ... tingCastle

Heartwarming page: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/H ... tingCastle

And an Awesome Moments page now: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/A ... tingCastle

BUT I dunno how to get them on the page. Can somebody who actually knows how you use this friggin' website please figure out how to get the little icons for those things to appear on the main page? I'm not clever, so this How To guide is like gobbldegook to me.

The Awesome page was in the wrong namespace - use Awesome/ instead of AwesomeMoments/ .

I suggest that somebody divide the characters into folders by guild, instead of just listing their names beneath their guild names. That way, we can use the sort of bold header that's currently being used for guild names for the character names themselves, and use normal fonts for the character descriptions and tropes. :3

EDIT: Another suggestion. Somehow divide the folders into player characters and NPCs for each guild. That way, all of a guild's NPCs can be listed along with its characters, but separate from them as well, so as to be neither confusing nor overly convoluted.

Sorry xana, I'll answer this THEN worry about the ontopic (?) thing.

I just listed the character names as a starting point. It does need a LOT of work, though. I really just filled in what was already there .

Ah, thanks. I'm really bad with names so it took me ages to find one that fit him, and a quest with you sounds fun. I'll hopefully be finished with the back log within the week.
