Firstly; I feel like this should be brought up.

With the passing of Helvetica; the main admin of the site, this somewhat throws the future of the forum in the air. [Paying for it; ect]. It's being discussed, but I think it is worth bringing up. I have an idea for a backup plan, but hopefully it doesn't come to that.

Secondly; Branneg I seriously cannot make heads or tails of your 2nd post. I'm going to have to skip it because simply; I can't actually parse it.

Thirdly; still got the whole old man's knee issue keeping me quite busy.

---

Just going to answer questions to give Branneg a chance to amend his 2nd post since I don't want to skip it but it's kinda hard to read it. I'll probobly actually do the update just before I go to sleep or tomorrow morning.

I don't even remember who put the above in my sig. [Wasn't me] Nor do I understand why I keep it here anymore.
Those two facts sum me up pretty well.

Much better; also I noticed you edited your previous post to fix the formatting so it's readable now.

> You can't make alloys. Transmuters can only manipulate natural materials. [It's worth noting that Makai has it's own 'natural' materials too and such as it's own dimension but for simplicity's sake I'll just use the equivilents from our world rather than trying to make up a Makaian periodic table or something]

> Generally transmutations are one object at a time.

===

> Enthousiastically respond "My my, a game?  But of course!"

> Counter Elis' magic by increasing our animation resistance
> Using the animated sword as a 'lever' excert force on the knight's arm by rotating the sword  counter-clockwise with the force applied on the tip for added neutonian leverage (Slowly at first to entice Elis to resist it)

> Discreetly cast an Ice-wreath or cooling enhancement on the knight, blood will solidify and and freeze damaging it

> Additionally if we (or our mirror) can create a light breeze in the room do so with air magic (as blood dries and clots when exposed to air)

> Have our mirror ready for any surprise magic attacks from Elis, though keep it away from the suit of armor in case she gains more control over it

> You feel like a raven.

> You increase the amount of magic you are using to maintain the animation. This stops the Knight in it's tracks again, until the red glow increases, and tendrils of blood creep out from the joints of the knight, wrapping around the Armour and manually moving it. This gets the armour moving towards you again, albeit slowly.

> You quietly cast a chilling spell on the armour, and the mirror casts a low-level Wind magic. This lowers the air temperature, and has a particularly chilling effect on the metal of the armour. The blood doesn't outright clot like expected [It is magical vamperic blood after all] but it does seem to thicken somewhat, stopping the movement once again.

> "Isn't resorting to messing with my magic like admitting defeat?" Elis taunts. "But I guess fighting a Vampire in terms of raw power is difficult for anyone."

> In the Vampire's good hand, her wand appears, a short wand with a large star-shaped tip. She makes a flourish with it over her head, and a quintet of floating, crimson magical blades appear above her head. A moment later; she launches them. One directed directly at you, another at the mirror, and the other three in spaces more make evasion difficult. They are flying at a high speed.

>

> Most of your magic use was attempting to overpower Elis' Blood Magic. The Wind/Cold spells used very minor amounts.

> Elis became a little bit bored because she viewed your chilling of the blood as 'admitting defeat' in her game of brute force. She's still interested however.

> Make the magical knives&kunai double arch ,aiming in a way to reduce even more dodging room, to escape and imprint a throwing effect similiar to home-in

> Switch to actual home-in aiming for the injured side of Elis when they approach her ,if able of course.

//For  stepping-up the Challenge,since Elis is doing that and "anticipating" leat the "Boredom Bar" goes up again , the experimental idea&planning of " mass animating the debris,enchanting and transmutating them ,as possible ,all/ most of them using them as gestalt/combinations from behind and sides "has its feasible potential  ,or the basics of it has it at least th ; of course with keeping pressure&dustraction at the forefront and sides by Louise ,the Mirror and the Sword...wirh the Blood Possesed Armour dodged/avoided/stopped //

OK; so I've been thinking about the recent announcements.

1: Quest is Paused for the time being while this is all being sorted out. With the fact it's quite unlikly we'll be able to archive and migrate the threads, I'll need time to basically make a summary of important points and such. A new forum could lead to new people interested to play after all. [Also a lot is going down IRL for me right now. Good stuff. Not bad stuff. But still a lot]. From what I can tell I can 'archive' my own posts; but not everyone else's; and reconstructing everything would be a herculean task. So making a summary and basic intro thing ready for the new site is probably a good thing.

2: I feel like I'm not the sole owner of this decision, so I want to put my ideas to you guys.

Idea #1: I set up a Discord Server to continue over there. This probably could get going faster, but would become a lot more private as a result.

Idea #2: We continue on the new forum being set up. This might bring in some new players if the new forum gets new people, but will probably result in a longer pause. I personally would like this because I'm of the opinion fresh blood is always good.

I'd like feedback on these ideas, and any other suggestions if you guys have any.

Either way I'm not killing off the quest or anything. Just figuring out the best way to continue.

//I'm fine with trying it out on the new forum. I personally think quests fare better in a forum environment anyway as opposed to discord.

//Also I heard that there are archive crawlers going through there forum, so RPG and MSG might get backed up by them. But yeah I agree that summarizing this thread is a good idea in case they don't for whatever reason

Yes; I've got wind of the mirrors and such being set up. All the more reason to pause while this is going on, because we don't know how much they'll be updated beyond initial mirroring/saving/archiving/ect.

Reminds me to save a copy of my signiture. Also that random link added to it. At this point it's a part of my profile.

EDIT: Oh wait we might have a new thing setup already: https://www.shrinemaiden.com/index.php [Note .com and not .org]

It's quite late so I can't set things up today. Will try tomorrow.
