Going to be away from internet till tomorrow night or so. Am taking the rules with me to work on them. Will Post when i get back. Till then, Burst, you have the floor.
Sorry but since your playing a female character (and I'm assuming your female as well, you dont' have to correct if I'm wrong and you arent' comfortable telling me) I'll get this out of my system now:
1) The Kessig Forest thread is closed and the events therein never happened.
Erm... I sort of smashed that assumption when my character went searching for one of the walkers he met in the forest... Not sure if the beta is canon or not. I suppose we could consider the beta the "Prologue" to the true game, and discount any paradox we come across?
2) This is still a beta, the rules are in flux for testing, and may be changed at any time.
That's how I understand it, yes.
3) In order to open up a quest line in the beta for my character, I should PM the WPLs.
That's what I did.
4) The current WPLs for this Project are Burstinatrix and silverthorn2009.
Along with id_ego, but I don't know if he's going to be WPLing for this or not.
5) We still have no idea what Talents will look like.
The thing about talents is that they are player-created, so they can look like almost anything. So... sort of, I guess? We don't know how balanced they'll be or anything until we try them out, but even after the game starts they'll be in a constant state of change with players suggesting new ones and such.
Everything scares me... kitties scare me... squirrels scare me... corpses....corpses bring forth a pletora of confusing feeling which i prefer not to dwell on...:p

Also: I think one way to solve the whole "Talents are constantly being added" thing is that when the game is officially opened, you can have weekly/monthly contests for certain talents. It'll probably curb the whole "Players make up their own" but it'll help keep the game balanced and will be less work for the WPL's to have to sort through all the pms for ideas. Plus theirs bound to be players who will argue who came up with a Talent first, so this might cut that stupidly down a lot.

Good idea.
I'll open up weekly talent contests once the beta's over.
You mean that we shouldn't have any number of talents available at any time? If so, why?
No I mean when you do the contest you keep the list to a maximum of 5-6 for voting, and then push whatever is left over for the next one since people are bound to post their suggestions regardless.
@Pewple: I'm sure the ones we've suggested will be fine for now, and afterwards when the Beta is open they can be voted on or be official ones. The point to this is to get the game balanced but still fun. Less work and more fun for all involved will not only keep this game alive but will also make it grow. Best part is that once most of the kinks are fixed you could always write this up for people who want to do it offline.

{Magic: The RPG}
Correct.
We'll discuss/announce rule changes before we put them into place, but for the most part, that's correct.
That, or you can accept an open quest once we make open quests.

Can we expect this within the year? Because if not I'll just try to get a private quest for my character going.

Probably not.
If you send me a PM, though, I can create a quest for you later tonight or tomorrow.

I am a girl. That kind of girl as well.
Also, Ew.
Again I apologize for the comment.

If that happens. What about the millions I posted already?

And I agree about maximum of 5-6 contestants/ideas.
Sometimes I'd just pour out too much ideas and they become too raw.

I'm sure we'll get credit in the end for the work we put in.
There was once [The Pack], but no more.
You could submit them in the weekly contest or PM them to silverthorn or myself for review to see if we'll just automatically make them a talent.
Sounds good to me.
We'll definitely have a few that we start with, but for now, we aren't sure what those ones will be.
Not sure how exactly we'll credit the creator of the talent, but they'll definitely be credited.

Oof thats going to be a mess after this is open to all. =p
