Fairy Tail Guild RP Current News


Hey everyone, it's me, your Lord and Savior, your Once and Future King, and your new Admin-for-Life Unlimit Sendo. I'm here to drop some turnbuckle-diving elbows and awesome news. There's been some relatively small updates to rulings regarding summon familiars and single summons. Additionally, there's also been a pretty big update in regards to the AP shop which reorganizes it and adds a ton of new stuff. You can find that in the AP Shop section under Item Creation. Check it out.

If thats what you think I cannot do anything about it, but really, all we mods do is try to have everyone on the same leveled play field.

If you really want to have those effects, its not the extra TP that should be stopping you, cause seriously, for what you want I dont see you needing more than 4 TP at best.

By the way, whenever anyone is trying to make a unique magic, balancing shitstorm is something they need to be ready for. Otherwise we would have a few absurd magics running around at rank 1.

Cantrips are pre-existing techniques that have weaker effects. Your TP free passive technique is not classed at that.

"All non-magical, plot-unimportant plants within five meters wither. Larger plants like trees are unaffected."

You're in the middle of the Lancarri jungle. This effect activates. Part of the jungle dies leaving a great big black patch of dead plants.

"Any perishable goods within three metres become stale and useless."

You're in the middle of someone's kitchen and this activates. Everything becomes stale. And don't even get me started about consumable items that could be food.

I could go on with more examples if you like.

The point is. We aren't trying to make your magic samey or cookie cutter. We aren't stopping you from having this mechanic. In fact I wholeheartedly support you having this technique so long as you go through the proper channels. One full staff member and one staff member in training has told you what you need to get this technique with a second staff in training giving you advice and suggestions on how to make it better.

Said playing field is terribly boring and allows for next to no deviance from the written 'guidelines'. Guidelines my arse, if you deviate more than the slightest, you don't get approved.

Asking me to even spend 1 TP is stupid, with 4 being absolutely preposterous. These effects will not affect combat with others, unless their combat relies on them checking the time on their non-magical watch every 2 seconds or having a small object that has to lay at a specific point for the entire fight.

I'm not going to bother with a balancing shitstorm if it ends up coming down to "Follow the guidelines!!!1!!one!1" like it will.

Because I can't do that with an active technique of rank 2 or 3, especially since the range was limited to 3 meters around Manus. This would require first: the random chance to be just right, second: that particular effect to be rolled, third: anything relevant to be present within 3 meters. The possibility of this happening is infinitesimal.

Has no effect on the plot, for the first part. Unless you just so happen to be inside of a kitchen for whatever reason, and what would Manus be doing inside of a kitchen casting magic? The same points for the previous one apply too. As for the consumables, I fucking knew I should have added "WILL NOT EFFECT OTHER PEOPLE'S SHIT" in big bolded capital letters.

shame you gave up on it like that

4 tp is nothing really, and you could have gotten some cooler effects on higher ranks. but its prolly for the best, as the current dice system we have doesnt work with that idea, as you could just edit it time and time again, until something that you wanted happened.

Not saying you would, mind you, just saying that there is no way to get dice rolls that cant be edited on the forum.

Actually if you put a dice roll in a post, you can't edit it anymore. And I gave up because I wasn't going to spend TP on it an none of you bothered to try to help make it acceptable without it and just told me to spend TP.

Honesty without tact is cruelty.

I'm giving 1/2
However, I am noting now that Zed, you need to check your attitude. Seriously, there is no reason to curse at people when they are, in fact, attempting to help.
We're all adults here (for the most part) and I don't think its too much to ask that we act like it. Not to mention for the most part it is MiTs you are yelling at. They're still learning, and patience is a virtue as it were.

As far as dice rolls go, I think that would be the reason Hyphen had a dice roll thread.
As far as spending TP on it, if you make it so it is literally a physical side effect of your magic, I don't see spending TP on it. As in it causes a physical malady to the user.
You can bold text all you want that it wouldn't affect battle or allies, but truth of it is, if you have a minor earthquake under your feet, and you fall down with an NPC at your throat with a sword, it will. Same for food in a radius going bad. It would affect thread if you were...say, in a desert, and you were the only one with food.
So, if you still want to, you can make the dice roll thread, and I will negate 1/2 until you come up with things to negatively affect your character for flavor.
