Strolen - Making the Initial Guild Leap
#1Strolen drug himself out of his slumber, exited his chambers and walks up the spiral stairs, slowly, as he makes his way to the top of the Citadel. The sun is nearly up and the surroundings are dotted with quiet action. He walks the perimeter and faces each cardinal direction inhaling the morning scents and watching the early mists curl away.
It is a good day to start a Quest.
Itching his ass as the overused wool nightshirt tugged on a random hair he gives his body a warm-up shake and descends the stairs at double the pace ascended.
Time to get to work!

I am going to join the Strolenati Recruit Quest.

Re: Strolen - Making the Initial Guild Leap
#2And since I am the only one doing this at the moment, I can be all powerful and award myself the title of Guild Leader of the Strolenati. (Might be appropriate anyway :)
In the name of the Strolenati, I approve my joining the Recruit Quest and wish me good fortune. -
Re: Strolen - Making the Initial Guild Leap
#3Did OK on Day 1 of this Quest. I did a bunch of upvotes on comments, put in a few and decided on my submission. So at least I started. A little bit each day and I will eventually conquer the world!
Tomorrow going to a castle in Parma where they have a medieval reenactment festival. No jousting at this one but they are going to have about 100 folks shooting cork-tipped arrows at each other. That alone should be awesome!! So might not get much done tomorrow except for a few comments and upvotes. -
Re: Strolen - Making the Initial Guild Leap
#4Got home too late today and not spending much time online. Medieval Fair day and was pretty awesome. Watched some pretty good battles, skillful archery and some amusing bagpipe musicians. Finale of the day was we went to the tower of the nearby castle and they had a Falconer there with a Falcon. The Bird Show started while we were in the tower. Got some great shots of the Falconer standing between the battlements with the bird on his hand. Pretty sweet. So I am tired, lost of walking and bad nutrition.
Italians basically eat pork when they have a choice of meat. I have issues with pork, my tummy no likey, so I couldn't eat any of the grilled goodness. Ate some fried bread and that is about it, bad carbs! -

Started a little bit on the submission. Not sure which one I am trying for but they are both probably solid 5s so not sure why I am worried. :up:
Getting quality comments to be upvoted will be more difficult than I initially thought. Not that I wrote anything worth upvoting yet, but it is difficult to do. Might have to resort to bribes. -
Re: Strolen - Making the Initial Guild Leap
#6Way to go Strolen, this seems like a fun idea!
Particularly juicy are the new attributes added to the profile! STR: 3 | END: 3 | CON: 2 | DEX: 2 | CHA: 2 | INT: 3
one question--(this must be some gurps thing :P)--con and end? no wisdom? -
Re: Strolen - Making the Initial Guild Leap
#7There IS no wisdom to be found at Strolens. -
Re: Strolen - Making the Initial Guild Leap
#8THAT is funny. Is it true?
We can change the stats, I am not married to them but with intelligence one doesn't need wisdom. I think. Or with wisdom one doesn't need intelligence. I never did understand that.
And I have been trying to continue to do comments as often as I am able in the hope that eventually some of them will be upvoted. Kinda hoping that this might catch on a little which will make people more aware of that simple ability they have.
I will become Strolenati damnit!! -

#11You joining the Strolenati chase? :) -
Re: Strolen - Making the Initial Guild Leap
#12Boils. Still no upvotes on any comments. I put in some OK idea Scrolls too. Might have to badger some authors over PM for some love!
I have two submissions that I wrote today on the 9hr total bus ride to my team's soccer matches (of which they won both, undefeated baby!). Will pick one and make it the guinea pig. Both are solid 3s I think so will meet the criteria. -
Re: Strolen - Making the Initial Guild Leap
#13Your comments have gotten quite a few upticks in the last 48 hours. -
Re: Strolen - Making the Initial Guild Leap
#14Yahoo! I find that my "You comment was upvoted" script misses some. -
Re: Strolen - Making the Initial Guild Leap
#15In the quest for the Guild I have added a couple more things to the author page to make this easier. As Guilds are created and stats are needed, will try and update them. Will make a date range available for choosing eventually too, but babysteps. :)
One issue I have already come across is that upvotes do not get their date tracked at all. So I will add a date column there and start tracking them later this afternoon.
So, for me, I have one comment upvoted in the last 15 days (it did get two XP but that is meaningless to this quest I think) and it is unable to track the upvotes I gave but I put the total number there. Trust me, I did enough lately. As soon as I input my first sub, that will show up with the rating to keep track of that too. -

Yeehaw, Jester's dead!
Thanks to all the weak willed folks on the site that bowed under my beratement and name calling and gave me the upvotes and attention I was so desperate for! It was a good day for over-exuberance and dripping sarcasm.
On this day, let it be known, that I am truly Strolenati.
