Welcome to the Black Tower!

Mon, 23 Oct 2006 13:52:57 -0400

So you've decided to join the Black Tower, or maybe you're considering joining? Well then! Let me give you a brief introduction as to what we're all about.

First off, this is the Black Tower Organization's official website. We are a part of the Dragonmount web-community, which you can find at www.dragonmount.com. This website is our own little peice of the world. We have many activities that you can participate in to earn points. These points can be spent training your One Power levels. The better your One Power levels, the higher you rank within the Black Tower. You can engage other members in One Power Fights using our Fight Rollers, which were made by our very own Marjan (a.k.a Roka).

Using these Fight Rollers, you and other Black Tower members can duke it out with numerous weaves and generally try to kill one another. You can also link with other members and combine your power to take on members who have better One Power levels than your own. Some of the things you can look forward to at the Black Tower are insanity, chaos and destruction. We tend to excell at these things for some reason... Oh, and be wary of your superiors... They can make you do pushups! To wrap this little introduction up, The Black Tower is all about having fun.

Keep the posts on the forum to a PG-13 limit and try to have a good time. Its why we're all here, isn't it?

Hello and welcome to this most spectacular of organizations! Since you pressed the link that lead you to this weird and perhaps frightening place it must mean that YOU are interested in knowing more about us!

Well, we'll take the most basic information first; we are the inhabitants/leaders/slaves/madmen of the Black Tower! What we do is we have fun, kill each other with the one power, comes free with the taint!, bother our glorious attack leaders and generally have a blast! The persons you might want to please is the great and ever glorious Tayol(Logain), the great drunken Irishman who is in charge of the Light Faction and Roka(M'hael), who is in charge of the Shadow Faction.

You may also bug our Storm Leader's, Darlantan, Vanion, Maze Kantul, and HeroAndros. Also the four Attack Leaders, Zyr, Demi, LadyMo, and bratr, with any problems you may have.

Now living in the Black tower is never easy, you have to sleep, eat, go to bed AND wake up. Its damn hard. But practice makes perfect! Aside from spamming and having a great time you will be able to earn points by doing various things;
-One power battles
-Reviews
-Shockwave Comp
-and a few other things

Now to learn to wield the power that is Saidin you need to take the one power classes, or OP classes. To do this just PM Tayol at the private boards, and you will receive the first of three lessons. On completion of the lessons you may take part in any one power fight that you wish.

A Little bit on ranks! Now, to advance in this Organization you need to improve your OP stats in the way shown on the bottom of this page:

The New OP Fight System

Mon, 23 Oct 2006 13:52:58 -0400

1. You can play with no time reaction in place, the points will be changed a little for winning and losing. Lightfools Win: 6 points, Lose: -1 point Darkies: Win: 6 points, Lose: -1 point -This is the Quick Game

2. You can play the way this game is meant to be played, with time reaction in effect, only with a small change. You will no longer be able to attack before 12 hours from YOUR last attack are up. So, basically what this does is, it enforces time reaction into having an effect it was supposed to have. Helping you catch people off guard. No one can say for sure where they will be 12 hours in advance and they can't do jack squat before that time is up, so time reaction goes into effect. TWO BIG CHANGES from the Quick Game. You may go ahead and attack again as soon as 12 hours are up and do not need to wait for your opponent to attack. The game continues until one of the players is down to 0. If it takes 2 or 15 attacks, that's how many you will play. An example on how ot play: Dar attacks K'jar at 5:00pm, his weave does 30 points of damage (the script requries you to input your elements and rank as well as your opponents so the attack/defence happens at the same time and you immidiately know the result of your attack). Now, he can't do anything before 12 hours are up, so he goes do some gardening and watering flowers as he is known to enjoy. In the meantime, K'jar comes online, sees he's down to 70HP already and with great furry attacks with the best weave he can muster, doing exactly 0 damage to Dars defences. K'jar goes to school. Dar comes back online 15 hours after his inital attack, he selects the correct reaction choice and attacks again, doing 25 damage to K'jar. Dar goes to sleep. K'jar comes home from school, sees it hasn't been 12 hours since HE attacked yet, so he goes take an afternoon nap... which gets cut short by his parents waking him up and telling him they're going toi Disneyworld. K'jar, happy as can be, goes with them, completely forgetting about the fight taking place. Dar makes 2 more attacks and brings K'jar down to -10. The game is over, Dar wins. However, no one dies/loses extra points for being brought down to 0, since everyone will have to be brought down to 0 in the Full game.

OK, so, the points: Lighties: Win: 15 points, Lose: -3 points Darkies: Win: 15 points, Lose: -3 points -This is the Full Game

Two things about splitting the games into Quick and Full. One, it gives people who do not like time effects a chance to play this without them. Two, it's easier for newbies to learn how to play the Quick game then the Full one - far as making it easier for newbies to learn this game goes, I'm thinking of making the attack+defend in one go on the Quick Game scipts as well, so then you just attack and wait for the other person to attack back without worrying about defending. Plus, no reaction time makes it look real easy, you just put in your and your opponents elements and that it! Three, it makes the game interesting for lower incomes and higher incomes since there are two income classes, the 6 points and the 15 points.

Other changes that will take place soon as scripts are out: - TP is put on hold until I figure out a way to make it work with this system - annyone can fight annyone. - the deduction for time reaction will be (must add 12 hours to each, since no attack can happen before 12 hours are up): 0-1 hour: -0% 1-2 hours: -5% 2-3 hours: -10% 3-4 hours: -15% 4-5 hours: -20% 6-8 hours: -25% 8-10 hours: -30% 10-12 hours: -35% 12-15 hours: -40% 15-18 hours: -50% 18-24 hours: -60% 24 hours or more: -80%
