Awesome, new chat thread. Break out the champagne!

[Djinn_in_Tonic]

Awesome, new chat thread. Break out the champagne!

How many times do I have to poison your wine before you get the hint, Xallace?

Anyway, let's break out the new contest! I'm rather psyched for it, after the epicness (it's a word now...deal with it) of the last contest.

[ErrantX]

New contest is up, Mono e Mono!

Pick a partner and duel to the death in the honor of the Valentine's Day spirit! You asked for pairs, didn't you?

EPIC.

We win as a pair, I assume? Given the segment about working together on the classes?

[ErrantX]

EPIC.

Indeed sir, indeed. Entries will be voted on as pairs, and will win as pairs.

[Xallace]

Holy muthalovin' Pelor that's sweet. Time to find me a partner.

[DragoonWraith]

Awesome!

So I suppose it'd be a good time to mention that I'm interested in finding a partner for this. Don't have any ideas as of yet, though.

Actually, I lied. I might. Maybe. Given the recent spate of Artificer PrCs, a pair of diametrically-opposed Artificer PrCs with all kinds of industrial espionage and the like could be entertaining.

But that's a very off-the-top-of-my-head kind of idea.

[Djinn_in_Tonic]

Given the recent spate of Artificer PrCs...

Which I had absolutely nothing to do with... *wishes there were a "shifty-eyes" smiley*

[ErrantX]

People should PM me when they've got pairs and such. I figured we'd do a first here for the contest and do paired entries. I'm glad people are into it. Also, since people seemed to want to do paired entries and having no way for eachother to actually share in the entry and both be able to edit it, I thought this was a good way to do it.

[Golden-Esque]

Ooh, ooh! I want a partner! I want a partner! I gotta hand it to you, Errantx. This is effin' BRILLIANT!

EDIT: I think what I'm going propose to whatever poor unfortunate soul partners up with me is open a series of GoogleDocs with them. If we set it so that we're both collaborators, we can each edit the two classes as we see fit before final publishing. Wouldn't want to bind you to any extra work, ErrantX. After all, it must take a lot of devotion to keep this whole show running ...

Mwuhahahahahahaahahahahahahahaha!

[DracoDei]

Golden-Esque: Well, since our original plans with Bhu were (probably quiet appropriately) torpedoed by the switch of theme from what we were expecting, I might be available for you, depending...

[Golden-Esque]

I needz a partner to take part in my idea!

[ErrantX]

Wouldn't want to bind you to any extra work, ErrantX. After all, it must take a lot of devotion to keep this whole show running ...

Mwuhahahahahahaahahahahahahahaha!

I'm not sure if I'm being threatened, insulted, or hinted at for what you're doing here sir. Honest mystery :P

[Golden-Esque]

I'm hinting at one of several ideas I'd like to share with my partner (when I figure out whom I'm getting) for this contest. I mean honestly, why threaten or insult you? If you leave, then Djinn would end up taking over the contest, and then he'd truly be unbeatable .

[Zom B]

Have I impressed anybody enough with my past work that someone might want to pair up with me? This sounds interesting.

Anyways, PM me, por favor, if you'd like to.

[Glimbur]

Throw me into the pool of people looking for a partner. I'm a fan of Incarnum and not terribly familiar with ToB, Binders, Shadowcasters, or Truenamers... which means I'm more interested in the systems I'm not familiar with.

[Hyooz]

Thrice Dead Cat and I will be participating as partners in this contest.

[JoshuaZ]

No partner yet. Also not sure I'll be participating in this contest since already working on a lot of homebrew stuff and have real work. If someone wants to partner with me I'll be up for it though.

[Djinn_in_Tonic]

If you leave, then Djinn would end up taking over the contest, and then he'd truly be unbeatable .

Admittedly, I'd probably end up taking over. That would, however, mean the end of my amateur status, and thus the end of my competitive days.

So I'm all for keeping ErrantX around.

Also, Lord_Gareth and Djinn_in_Tonic will be teaming up for this contest. I still have to talk to him to verify he'll agree to this...but consider the partnership already set it stone.

[ErrantX]

I'm wanted! I'm really, truly wanted! Yay! :D

That being said, let's all be surprised that Djinn and Gareth will be teaming up. That's the team to beat folks, it really is. That being said, anyone who has concepts that want to bring by me as far as ideas and such, or feedback on this contest let me know. PM me or ask me here, and I will let you know!

[Xzoltar]

The idea of making a Team Contest is a good idea, because even if people like Lord_Gareth and Djinn_in_Tonic are good alone when homebrewing, they dont necessary work well together, so other still have a chance, I hope people will participate in masse. Good luck to all Teams

Im pretty sure my homebrew skills as well as my knowledge of english won't be enough to participate, but I have few concept idea in mind, can I put them here so that if someone want it can take it ?

[DaTedinator]

Vaynor and I are working together. Just thought I'd declare it.

[Djinn_in_Tonic]

...because even if people like Lord_Gareth and Djinn_in_Tonic are good alone when homebrewing, they don't necessary work well together...

*cue mild moment of egotistical...ness? What would that word even be?*

You'd all like to think that, wouldn't you?

*Back to the traditional, more humble Djinn*

I would agree though...Gareth and I are notorious for never finishing anything we start, and the team aspect will, I'm sure, bring out some amazing works from people.

I hope people will participate in masse. Good luck to all Teams!

Agreed on both counts!

I'm pretty sure my homebrew skills as well as my knowledge of english won't be enough to participate, but I have few concept idea in mind, can I put them here so that if someone want it can take it ?

Sure! Feel free to drop ideas, critique, criticism, or anything you want! Also, don't worry about your skills or grasp of the language...your writing is comprehensible (which is what really matters), and we're a friendly bunch ready and willing to help you craft a better class, even if you are the competition!

[Vaynor]

I would agree though...Gareth and I are notorious for never finishing anything we start, and the team aspect will, I'm sure, bring out some amazing works from people.

Yeah, having someone to bounce ideas off of will really help I think, I foresee a lot of really great entries.

[Xzoltar]

Thanks Djinn, I will probably join in a later contest that dont involved teaming with somebody else. but to help other team here some idea I have in mind but won't use, so feel free to use them.

Raw idea with no real fluff or details on ability, but the concept is there :

- Artificer that promote the use of magic item and can boost them or ven create them on the fly or summon them. They are opposed by a organisation that think magical item corrupt the body and so use Incarnum (but that show as item on the body and not magical alteration from mystical creature) instead of magical item and even goes around the world to destroy magical items.

- Organisation that oppose any divine magic user and outsider that serve gods. They hunt them and kill them the same way Mageslayer kill Arcane Spellcaster. They are opposed by a organisation that think the salute of man come by the workship of gods, not one god in particular but any god. They gain god-like power and can boost other Divine Spellcaster.

- Organisation of Jack-of-all-Trade composed of Factotum and Chameleon that are opposed by a organisation that promote the perfection of self in one domain of expertise trying to be as strong as possible in their field of work (think Archmage, Examplar, Hierophant...)

- Cult of Binder that forged different Pact and try to give life back to the source of their power and opposed by a Cult dedicated to the destruction of the energy that compose the differents Vestige.

- Cabal of Illumian and Truenamer that want to find the Ultimate word to make all of us god. They are opposed by a Cabal that want to find the Ultimate word that will destroy the Prime.

[Kellus]

Wow, this looks pretty cool. Anyone interested in pairing up with me?

[Owrtho]

I'd be interested in taking part in this. And since it's right above, I'd be willing to partner with you Kellus (hooray for convenience).

Owrtho

[Latronis]

No immediate ideas, except for some reason rivalry and the valentines reference brought to mind the old maxim Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

[KaganMonk]

DragoonWraith, I also enjoy the artificers you dug up. I'd be interested in helping you out. What you said touched off the idea of counter-espionage for me.
