Just as the day's detention ends, the P.A. system kicks in. An unfamiliar feminine voice speaks cheerfully and enthusiastically into a microphone from somewhere in the west section of the building.

"Attention~! Students of Crimson Wind Academy~! I have two announcements for your listening pleasure~!"

She cleared her throat.

"First! The week-long battle finally came to an end, last night! The Dorm Battle Royal results are now set to be revealed! Which dorm will earn the 1st-ever DBR Trophy, as well as the right to no classes for a week? Here are your~ results!"

A makeshift simulation of a drumroll was played using her own hands and the table. It could be heard clearly over the P.A.

"With 13 victories, respectively, are Sebek Green and Osiris Red! But~, Osiris Red falls a bit behind with one extra loss, putting Sebek Green in 3rd place! With 21 victories, Obelisk Blue holds 2nd place! Therefore~, leaving Ra Yellow in first place with 24 victories~! Ra, you've earned your class-free week! Your trophy should already be on its way to the dorm, now."

A brief pause.

"Second! With the end of the dorm tournament comes a new test, but not the kind of test you may be thinking of. This Friday, Crimson Wind Academy will be welcoming several duelists from the Pro League circuit as they search for student candidates, qualified to be Pro Duelists! So sharpen your decks, if you plan to go that route! Here's your chance to shine! They'll be staying with us throughout the weekend, so you'll have plenty of time to prove yourself. But please remember to represent your academy well. Behave in a well-mannered... manner..." she stammered on. Speaking to herself over the P.A., "...Um... that's everything, right? ...I don't think I've forgotten anything, this time...! Good!" Back to the announcing... "Okay! Those are all of the afternoon announcements! Thank you, and have a great day!"

The P.A. system went off.

.... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... ....

The P.A. system was turned on, again.

"Sorry! Sorry! I forgot to introduce myself! Eheheheh...! .... I'm Minako Kenbou. And starting today, I'm the headmaster's new assistant. I look forward to meeting and working with all of you. Please look after me, if at all possible. ...Thank you! Bye~!"

End of communication.

Day 7 has officially begun! And with it, the beginning of Plot #2!
Day 7 is a Sunday. Roleplay accordingly.

Remember!
Those who did not attent Kouji's funeral have had detention from Wednesday (Day 3 [skipped]) through today, the last day of it.
Be sure to be there. Professor Klavier Gavin will be waiting.

Crimson Wind Academy - Plot #2: "Professional Aggression"
(by Sean Littell)
Start Date: Monday, August 4th, 2008


It seems that the new year is starting off without a hitch (If you don’t count being smashed in the face by a beer bottle, multiple trips to the Nurse’s office, mysterious figures wandering around the island, getting possessed by an evil spirit, or getting punched in the face by a Ra Yellow giant) and the school couldn’t be happier. News that a group of agents, along with the Pros they are endorsing, are headed to Crimson Wind Academy to seek out the potential talent among the students.

A young pro stands out among the others by showing a strange hatred of the idea. In fact, he has detested this act back when it was first suggested by his sponsor. Now it seems his mind has been finally made up about the whole situation, and he seems content for the moment, due to his own reasons.

However, students are readying their decks as the Faculty state that Students will be allowed to take shots at the Pros. This action is only further motivated when a rumor leaks out that potential pros will be identified for the future. So now the school is in an uproar as it's several days before the Pros arrive.

The young Pro, however, is cooking up a plan to make sure that there won't be any competition and will make sure that he defeats the stronger students before they are discovered. He has currently enlisted the help of four other pros to destroy the chances of competition.

^ That's roughly how it will be set it up.

Crimson Wind Academy has access to a chat box, which is located at the very bottom of each page. As it is not connected/linked with our site, you will have to request membership.

Create a username. It must be one that is recognizable to all who see it. Preferably, it would be your character's name.

ex.
"Rina" = Rina Kasakura = Me
"Hatcher" = Billie Hatcher
"Kristy" = Kristy Jone

Other names are acceptable, provided that members, especially new ones, will be able to figure it out with relative ease.

ex.
"Teh_Jey" = Jey Nakari
"Racinoftheflame-Jake" = Jake Yakuma (Racin --> Racin Halo[email+sig])

To change your username, read "JeY Nakari's" post, below.
To understand the user color code, read "Jake Yukuma's" post below.

Once becoming a member, changing your username to a less ID-able, or a generally false one is grounds for a "kick," or a small-issue ban on the premise of misidentification. To change your username, type in "change name" on the chat box window.

Behavior-wise, you all know what is generally expected, whether you've been here for a while, or are new. There's always that level of etiquette that you know is acceptable, and then there's the bit that kind of pushes the safe limit. Ultimately, you are to behave no worse than you would on the forum itself. And on that note. All that happens in the chat box is considered to have happened on the site. What this means is this:
stated in one of the site's rules (to be posted), it discusses how "issues" over PMs and messengers would be the way to talk/vent about them. Your range of tolerable language is wider (in messengers, only) so you can shoot the breeze, freely.
This chat box, however, does not count as a messenger service in that regard. Anything said in it is "Warn-able," perhaps even site-bannable.

You have been warned to conduct yourselves appropriately.

((More information to be added to this [tired] :

-courtesy and guidelines for usage
-punishment guideline
-assigning chat mods))

Anyone that doesnt attend will go to detention. Which could be fun in its own right. The fun thing about RPing is that you really dont get in trouble, you just rp like you are.

So if your character is a goody goody, I suggest you RP there, if they are lazy, dont care, bad guy, you might stay out. Course goodies can stay out and baddies can rp there, doesnt matter.

HOT POCKETTTTT!

What are we going to want for our forum banner?

Johan came up with that in a couple minutes.

But what will we want for the real thing we'll post everywhere?

http://hireem.net/index.php?showtopic=7000&st=30

Register and vote for CWA! We need votes! Only a couple hours left!

So liek, I got a vacation sprung on me out of nowhere, and left before I could inform anyone. Sorreh. >_>

In case you didnt notice, we need an exam.

Right now, we need a quick one to use since we have no exam whatsoever right now. This is so any potential member joining will stay at our site. I mean, a site revolved around an exam, and theres no exam? Why would you stick around?

So anybody willing, please make up a quick one and a rubric for it, and submit it to me via PM.



And/or you can make one that you may take your time on, to perfect it as it will be our main exam once it is made, and will be used for all the members we hope to get in the future when we go on recruiting sprees.

This is a great way to get your name out there as one of our best duelists. Make us an exam that we can use and you will be credited. At this point, a quick one is our highest priority. After that though, we will need a more permanent one. Thanks so much for making CWA enjoyable for all members.

Even if we dont win, we'd still get advertisement just by participating.

Ok, the voting roster for council members is...


Billie

Rou

Meta

Rina

Luthien

Kabuto

Gouki

Kago

Demitri

Jey


Now here is how the voting will work. Each member selects three of the people on the roster whom they wish to vote for. Then they PM their votes to me AND Kabuto. You may post who you are voting for if you wish but the vote will not count. Also your vote will not count if it is not PM'd to both me and Kabuto. This insures that no questions as to whether I miscounted the votes arise.
Also as a heads up, in the case of a tie, the member who had more seconds will win. IE if Billie and myself were to tie then Billie would get the position, as he recieved two seconds while I only recieved 1.
And finally the top 5 people with the most votes will make up the council.

So feel free to talk about anything to do with the council as well as it's elections here. and good luck to all on the voting roster.

If any of you have been paying attention you may have noticed that the council has done nothing since it's inception. It's now time for that to change.

The first thing to do is to create a new council. It will consist of 5 members this time. It will have elections at the end of every month. This enables council members who are not productive to be removed and new members to take their place.
For this first election we will start with nominations. You may nominate anyone, however keep in mind that they should be active members of the community and responsible.
Rules about nominations
- You can not nominate yourself
- You can only nominate one person
- All nominations must be seconded
- You may only second two nominations
- You may not second a nomination for yourself
- Nominees must accept nominations to be included in the vote.


I will create a poll on Wednesday of next week. All nominations that have been seconded and accepted by that time will be included.

As a little heads up to people accepting nominations. The council will be having weekly meeting (dates and times to be determined by members). The council will also have to reach decisions on the issues brought before them at the meeting. This will be done by vote. Once the council is created a chair will be picked from among the council members by the council members. The chair will be responsible for deciding meeting times, selecting the meeting topics and counting votes among other things.
Thus when you accept you nomination to council keep in mind that by doing so you are indicating that you will be able to remain active for at least a first term of one month and will be able to attend the weekly meetings.

More to come on council regulations once the council has been selected. Nominations will begin now.
