    Hello people who felt like this was worth looking into, and thanks for taking the time to read up on it.


    Somewhat Important to the writers:
    Though you may disregard this in case you don't really give a crap about what I have to say personally, you may just skip the Italic portion and continue below. If not, thank you. I want to make it clear that, while I was here, I sometimes felt that it was hard to do certain jobs because I did not feel entirely connected with what they represented. That is why, for this Event idea, I placed a heavy focus on storytelling and world building. This way, everyone who takes part in it is aware of exactly what they are fighting, where they are taking part in a job, who they are trying to help and know where the hell they are. It is also the reason why two zones have been made to do these things in, and why they are both rather unique when compared to Fiore, as any Alternate Universe should be. If this turns out to be an idea people will like, Berg will be making a map for both of these zones so you will receive even more visual aid for this event. Now, please continue further down, and thank you for taking the time to go over this.




    To keep things short (before going into more detail), I recently asked whether I could make this idea i've had for an event into reality. At the time, I was told that if it was something people liked, the event was fleshed out properly and the concept was good, that it would have a good chance of becoming an actual thing. So without further talk about such things, I want to tell you a little more about the idea itself.

    P.S: Do keep in mind that the stuff I am sharing is only a small fraction of what has been created, seeing as how Berg is working on an actual map for the place and I more or less ended up creating an entire world, described the flora and fauna one could encounter and made specific jobs one can take here. But so as to not spoil all of it, I just put up some bits and pieces below. All so you can make a more informed decision.


    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -


    The Event Setting:
    The event setting itself involves us, the mages of Fiore, and invites us into a strange portal that has opened up within a hidden ruin in Sakuramori. From there, a strange plant man has come forth, asking for help. Because this portal only rarely opens itself up and only remains open for several days, these plant people took the risk of coming to us and inviting us into their world to help them restore the balance that has recently been disturbed by unseen forces.

    The event itself would feature a filled bar, one i've dubbed the "Corruption Meter". This shows how much corruption there is within the Greenscape, which is something we would be fixing up slowly by doing specifically made "Jobs" within the place. The more jobs we do as a collective to help out this world towards restoring the balance, the closer we get to emptying the meter down to 0 (or an otherwise respectable level) and gain a collective reward in the process.

    As i've said before, the event would be heavily focused on storytelling, meaning those participating in the event are pretty much aware of one another as we venture into this world as a sort of exploration team, a special task force sent in by the Magic Council of Fiore to fix what needs fixing before we can head back home to our own world (with our rewards, personal plot, knowledge of other player characters and more ofcouse).



    P.P.S: Keep in mind that, while you will be rewarded for your actions within this place (The Greenscape), the event is heavily focused on storytelling and world building. It is for this reason that characters who choose to get involved are considered either Good guys or Neutral/Grey due to the nature of the event.

    P.P.P.S: Because I imagined this event to be something that we'd do in two parts, I am only describing the first part of it. Based on how this goes, I might try putting up the second part after the first gets rounded up properly.




    -----------------------v

    See Post Number two for more in depth information regarding the place we'd be heading into and what we would be doing there.

    WORLD INFO:



    The Greenscape:
    The world we are going to be stepping into is an alternate dimension known as the Greenscape. This is a place where nature is the driving force behind all things, where technology and magic as we know it do not exist. Within the greenscape, all creatures, plants and trees were all born out of the same entity, a mass of glowing stone and root known as the Heartstone. This Heartstone hums with life giving energies and is connected to all life within the Greenscape, which is why the inhabitants of the Greenscape considered the Heartstone to be a holy site. For further information regarding the world, please look further down for visual aid into what to expect here, as well as some samples of the jobs there will be and the people we will be working with here.



    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -



    The Greenscape:
    As I have already stated before, the main zone is known as the Greenscape, sharing the name with the dimension we find ourselves in. This place is where we all end up once we head on into the portal. Being a massive woodland jungle with all sorts of strange creatures that seemed to have been fused with plants or trees, there are also various lakes that head down deep into the planet, as well as mountain regions that are densely populated by trees and caverns that head deep into the planet itself. These caverns lead into a subterranean zone that is almost as big as the greenscape, but is vastly different in terms of appearance and what to expect.

    Questgivers:
    These are the Treefolk, they are the sentient species of plant people that live in the Greenscape. It is from these people that you will get your jobs, retrieve any and all information you might need in regards to this new world and the other beings living in it. Whenever there is something wrong somewhere in their world that needs the attention of the mages of Fiore, these guys will be able to point you in the right direction... and reward you for your actions.

    Example Jobs within Greenscape:

    Example Creatures of the Greenscape:




    The Underglow:
    This subterranean cavern system that exists just beneath the upper crust of the planet, life took an entirely different approach in growing here. Where the Greenscape is known for the vast jungles and woodlands, the Underglow is known for the massive bioluminescent fungi growing in all shapes and sizes throughout all of the Underglow. Down here, all life shares these same fungal properties, including the sentient species that lives down here. Many of the lakes that exist in the woodlands above also exist down here, heading all the way down into the planet, hiding some of the most dangerous creatures that exist in this place.

    Questgivers:
    These are the Mycelians, a sentient race of mushroom people. Though a bit more elusive and secluded, they are aware of what is going on on the surface and that people from another world have been brought in to help. Due to the fact that this unseen force that is threatening the surface world is also affecting them down here, they have agreed to help the mages of Fiore in any way they can. Be it with directions to where help is needed, information regarding jobs or actually handing out the jobs themselves, they are pulling out all the stops to be of use.

    This is all I can say without giving away any of the actual plot stuff that would just spoil it for everyone. The actual mechanics are still a work in progress, considering how the Development team will need to get involved with this if the people of the site would really like to see this idea happen. But I figured that I wanted to let you all in on the general idea and the things we would get to expect when in this place. Once you've reached this point, please leave a Vote as to why you would like to take part in it.


    Also, if you're not sure yet and vote for the "Perhaps" option, please leave a response below so I can maybe clarify things for you. Vote Cancelling is active, so i'm not sure if that will allow you to pick Yes or No after you get clarification, but I sure hope it does.

    Honestly, I can see the effort you have put into the project but as for me, I prefer events and things that I can look at and instantly think "Wow that's fairy tail" as this is a FTRP and I'd prefer to feel as if I am in that world while I am writing. I don't really know a better way to put it but Fairy Tail just has a certain thing about it ya' know? And I just don't think this event suites it as well as something else could. Sorry : (

    Hey there! As Mod and Event Team I will go ahead and say I certainly want to see how this vote comes, and what other players say before I say any more on the subject. Though I would like to add links to Tsak Ordahic and its accociated threads / jobs / and plot as a possible solution, even if backing is not garenteed.

    Tsak Ordahic  - Is a subforum purchased by one of our players for their personal development, and to allow plot for the guild alliance associated with it.

    Background Information - Is the thread Pinned by staff to include all the important information associated with the location, including creatures and locations.

    Event - This here is the Guild Scale Job that was created for the situation, explaining all the various parts, and mechanics as well as how the event would be handled.

    all of these used options available to players, and can be used for this sort of plan as well. You could even include a list, also pinned, in the subform of all revelant jobs as they are created, and include as much detail as you desire into the jobs because they would then be classified as "Character Jobs" and not under the normal jobs.

    That being said, the only thing that this being approved as an event would allow is a variation on rewards, assuming the variation is approved by the owner and admins. While creating the jobs allows you to put the jewel rewards anywhere within the rank of said jobs.

    Understandable, though there is still something else you need to keep in mind here. So far, Fairy Tail has gone to alternate worlds and realities various times, like the one with the Exceed for instance, as well as that weird time dimension. As such, the idea of traveling between various dimensions and fixing the troubles of that place is, in and of itself, very Fairy Tail.

    Aside from that though, this site has adopted some stuff that isn´t entirely that Fairy Tail-esque in nature, though it is still widely liked by the player base because it is different and people can somehow relate to it. This is also a thing for the Guilds that we have here. But yeah, even if I can't change your mind, I still appreciate the input, even though I feel like this would still be something you could have fun with when writing with the other players who might enjoy it.

    Awesome, that's good to hear, because I do want people to have fun with this thing. But yeah, it's a very story driven thing with a pretty elaborate background for those who want to really immerse themselves in it. If not, it can be as shallow as just doing a job simply for the job rewards and whatnot. So it's good to hear that you have characters who would actually have IC reason and purpose there.

    Aaaah, that's good to know. Regardless of how this turns out, I would still very much like to make it happen in some way or shape. Even if it does not turn out to be an event, I would still like to make the people whom I've RP'ed with so far for instance to get something to do in terms of character progression/development.

    But yeah, sub boards and the like are rather expensive for me, especially at this point, so I won't be able to really put any money into it (also seeing as how I've only been here for two months).

    But I like seeing that there's a potential solution to it out there.

    Hi there, I thought I'd add a little something onto this since I am part of both the development and event teams. I like the idea that you have put forward but I have to agree with Markus, this is something you as a member can do without the event/development teams being involved at all. The examples that were given are from Onyx Moon, we own quite a few territories and are ever expanding them when we come across ideas that work for our plot as a guild or we feel could make things a bit more exciting for the site.

    We wanted a place that no one in their right mind would want to enter because everything was out to kill you, including the air and water. My S rank exam on Ruvel was done before we owned Tsak Ordahic and was done to explain how it was kind of stumbled upon. We further expanded the plot there by the events that happened within the winter wonderland masqurade ball the guild had back in December. This led to the cross guild scale that is currently going on, the credit for the guild scale's creation goes to Johann who at the time was one of the aces of Onyx Moon.

    The Silver Moon Faerie Alliance (SW, OM, FT) own a territory together called Celestial Sanctum which is there for plot reasons. One of them being so every guild is on equal footing and that if anything major is going on that no one without one of the alliances guild marks can enter without someone with one. Sol also owns a territory by the name of Myazhe where he can forward his own plot, this also helps Tolgalen as a whole feel a bit more fleshed out.

    As one of the current GM's of OM if anyone wants to make a job or do a job in based in one of our guild territories or even Tolgalen, I say go for it even if you aren't of our guild just bare in mind the restrictions some of the areas might have, anyway I've rattled on to long but wanted to give my 2 cents.

    That all sounds really good, though at the end of the day, it still leaves the problem, which is the sub-boards thing. I don't really have anything to buy any permanent boards, so it pretty much ends right there. And while making a board in itself isn't all that hard in the Admin panel, I figured that having something temporary might be better.

    I mean, me and a few others have expressed how we'd like to actually do things here such as jobs and the like, while others have expressed how they liked the unique nature of the place and the way stuff has thus far been worked out. And trust me, I would really like for it to be a permanent location at some point, but it's more of a thing that I can't afford it.

    That in itself more or less cancels out such as ideas because of how the place is perhaps too unique to actually be a location in Fiore or even Earthland. It's a rather difficult thing to deal with at this point.

    Thanks to this thing, i've gotten a lot of additional insights as to how I might be able to make this work out, and I feel like doing it in the form of an Event is not it. While it initially sounded like the best idea out there, i'd rather go about it entirely differently by making it part of the plot I share with other people and tying it to my own character development. As things are now, i'd like to focus on actually making the zones, which will probably be done by buying and making the sub-zones.

    In any case, this can be locked up now. Thanks to all for voting. Whether you voted yes, no or otherwise, it helped me gain some insight as to whether people liked the concept or the zone.

      Current date/time is 28th March 2024, 04:12
