Sephiroth- || I want to ride my Bicycle....errr i mean update ||
Well, now that I'm doing MB spars this is how things will work. I will lock topics as soon as I've written the stats you wanted down. I will be updating them 3 times a week. Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. That way people will have ample time to get there spars done. If your spar is not done, and when I say not done I mean both people have not posed the stats they want, by 11:59 on Sunday. It will be counted as a spar for the following week. Remember Big Brother is Watching you.

Buzzard2- || Things to see, people to do ||
Ok, since Job stuff is more complicated that I thought it would be, here's how jobs will work:

• Each week, if you have a regular job, you will start a topic, and all your posts in that job for the week go in that topic.
• If you have an irregular job, Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday I will roll for you finding a job in your job ;) if you find an employer, you start a new topic, stating how much you will get paid and how many posts you must do. All your posts will go in this topic.
• Every Monday, I will check posts and give money for regular jobs, and then I will delete all posts, in Applications and in the Job section. If this means you lose an application, I'm sorry, I don't check what I delete (I only roll for Job Applications while you're online, so you can see the results.)
• Every Friday - Saturday - Sunday I will check your irregular job posts, and if you did it correctly, following all the rules, you'll get your pay.
• You can now only look for 1 job per week. This takes effect now. If you don't get the job, you can retry 3 days later.
• Necessities have been started, so you will lose 200 selats per week. If you can't pay for 2 weeks in a row, you die.
• For Irregular jobs, you have until Monday to finish any and all of them, otherwise they will be deleted.

And the Join Form works now, so you don't hafta copy the join form to an email ^_^

Buzzard2- || The Aftermath ||
Okies, the saga is over. You can see the logs in the Background page. ^_^ It was interesting, to say the least...people were leaving and coming, important people were late, then said they could be in it, then couldn't...yea, it was definately interesting. But it was fun, at least in my opinion =)

Ok, so here's what happened in the end:

The Myrtan and Human peace corps make a treaty, allowing each race access to the other's homelands. All seems forgiven, by most groups. Some radical Human and Myrtan groups protest, but they are ignored. Although the translation device is not perfect, and Myrtan is almost impossible to speak by Humans, both Myrtans and Humans will make an effort to understand one another. An era of peace is ushered in, and with Human and Myrtan collaboration, huge advances can be made in science, magic, and other fields.

Buzzard2- || I M P O R T A N T ||
Just a quick reminder before the saga: Set your clocks back for DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME!! Oh yeah, and I put up the background page too.

10/24/02:

Buzzard2- || It's OK cuz I got no self esteem... ||
The forums WORK, in a sense. If you get an error message, just click refresh. It should work, if not, try clicking Back then trying again. Ok, for more important news: Saga Joining Ends Tomorrow! If you have not sent me an email specifically saying you are going to be in the Saga, I will not know you will be there and there will be general confusion! So even if you sent in an Army application, please send another email with the subject: <Name><Race+Class>Joining Saga. If you do not, and you still want to participate, I will let you, but you will get a small stat decrease.

Dojo News: Everyone has been Tweaked, Shadows gained a new Combination rank, which is basically Long and Short range put together. Magi have been tweaked back, Myrtan Warriors, tweaked back, check the Dojos to see the tweaks, cuz they might affect you.

Handbook News: Updated the Handbook, take a looksie.

10/22/02:

Buzzard2- || I don't wanna work, I just wanna bang on the drums all day... -_-;; ||
Forums are breaked ='( I'm looking into another, more stable server...if only I could get some money... I'm getting a PayPal account, everyone else has one, so I'll have one too! We can be just like 8-Bit, bring in $9999 per month... You have 2 more days to apply for the saga. 2. So hurry and apply by sending me an email with the subject: <Name>-<Race+Class>-Joining Saga. The forums better get online now...

Oh, and Job Rolling is everyday, obviously :) only Job Payment is on Monday.

10/21/02:

Buzzard2- || IMPORTANT! ||
Ok, it's starting to get busy here -_-;; I'm having to do around 30-60 minutes of updating per day, and then people bug me about it afterwards. So here's my updating schedule (so you can't bug me for not updating your spars on the same day!):

Jobs: Monday ~4:00 PM PST
AIM Spars: Monday Wednesday Friday Sunday ~9:00 PM PST
Join Forms: Monday ~8:00 PM PST
Skills: Tuesday Thursday Saturday ~ 7:00 PM PST

And uh, that's about it. (25 Members! O.O) Anyone who has not voted for the Saga time, vote now. If you can be there for more than 1 time, please post them in the General forum topic as well.

10/20/02:

Nicodemus- || Hooha! ||
Well after many hours of tireless drilling and working, I've finished. Thats right. Finished. Finished what you ask? I've finished my job. What job do you have to finish? Updating your spars. Wow! You've really finished that? .. Thats correct. Its finished. Umm... That was my big announcement for the day. Wait, actually I posted a sticky message in the forums, that needs to be read. Adios.

Buzzard2- || Harder-Faster-Stronger-Better ||
That's a good description for the forums :) I added some new Styles, so check them out. I also added new Smilies, (which are awesome) and some Penguin Avatars. I have lots of homework this weekend, so I won't be on much if I know what's good for me...which I don't ;/

Nicodemus- || ||
Nicodemus here.. I rule.

Buzzard2- || We were rich once... ||
Lots of posts on the forum = makes Buzzard2 happy! ^_^ There is a poll in the Announcements section of the forum for what time the Saga should be. Please vote! I need to know! Also, keep up the sparring and stuff, we now have a new spar moderator! Nicodemus! He will be updating message board practices soon, when I get him all set up for it.

Buzzard2- || WOAH! ||
Heh, I remembered what I forgot yesterday...The Saga day and time has been established. It will be on Sunday, October 27th, at 3:00 PST. Also, lots of other news today. Rechecking the handbook would be recommended, as I have done so major tweaking there, especially on Strength. Also, I updated the Shop, so check that out too. Maybe not so much news ^_^ Oh well. It seemed like alot at the time x_X.

Buzzard2- || And out of nowhere... ||
Alrighty! Lots of new stuff today! In case you didn't realize from a few days ago, the Ego thing was that you can get a skill @_@. About Skills...I changed the Skill Level requirement, so now Non-Magic Users only need 12 Skill for a Skill Level and Magic-Users only need 10. Also...for the important news...WE.HAVE.FORUMS!!! Yay! Yay! Happy happy cheer cheer! ^_^ So that obviously means that Timespray is fully operational! Please register your names on the forums As Soon As Possible! In a related story...ah, I forgot what I was gunna relate. Oh well 0-:)

Buzzard2- || Do all roads really lead here? ||
We seem to get more hits when I make an update...big surprise lol =). We have a grand total of 16 members, not bad for the 2nd week of being open. About the saga...People have been asking me about what they can do in it. Well, you can do almost anything, as long as you run it by me first, so I can plan for it, and adjust what happens accordingly. We made lots of headway on the bot today, it can roll dice! Oh wait, it could do that yesterday...o.O...well at least now it can roll them BETTER!...Ahhem. I won't be around tomorrow, but on Saturday and Sunday I should be here to bug and n00bize =P. I **might** put up a general story page tonite, with detailed info about Myrtan society and Human society and all that jazz..I wouldn't count on it though, my mouse is on the fritz.

Buzzard2- || Botany! ||
The bot is coming along pretty well, it can enter chat rooms now! ...So what if that was just cuz we were typoing...But we're having some problems figuring out how to make custom variables (this is very important if you want it to keep track of YOUR stats and enter YOUR chatroom =D) so if you know anything about mIRC scripting, we'd be glad to hear it. The email address is, as always, mwerner70@msn.com. A few more tweaks in the Handbook, and check the Human Warrior page for a nasty shock that should crush your ego...=) I'll leave it for you to find it out for yourself though.

Buzzard2- || "You've been Ya Ya'ed by the Sisterhood..." ||
The saga is going to be on either Saturday, October 26th or Sunday, October 27th. I made some changes to the Handbook..again...this time about the Signature upgrading, mostly. Magic Users get +5 damage/ +3 MP cost. I put up a Links page, where PA is blasphemed...just kidding =) I really don't even know what blasphemed means, it just sounded good...Here's some Saga info you might be wondering about...

Q: Can Myrtans join the Human Army?
A: No. They can still join the Saga, but they will.not get the 2500 selat pay. They will however get whatever stat bonuses everyone else gets, and possibly more.

Q: If I die, will I come back to life eventually?
A: Yes, if you're active. If you're inactive, or you're only online once a week, it might take a little bit longer. There's a section about Death in the Handbook...

Q: I'm not gunna be here for either of those days, can I still be in it?
A: Let me think about that...no.

Q: Will the bot be ready by then?
A: I'm hopin', but we'll just have to see. If it's not, the Saga will still happen, I'll just have a lot to keep track of...

10/06/02:

Buzzard2- || Incoming Saga...and some other stuff ||
First with the other stuff: the Accuracy Chart is supposed to use Skill, because that is something everyone gets. Blame Sildragon for confusing me >.<
And now for the important stuff...Saga!

The fight against the Myrtans continues. The age-old rivalry that began 400 years ago, with the discovery of the land bridge between the Myrtan and Human continents, keeps going, it's fires stoked by the languages neither side can understand. 400 years ago, Myrtans and Humans encountered each other crossing the land bridge. Although neither side wanted a war, they couldn't understand each other. The Myrtans, who use much body language in their culture, saw the Humans outstretched claws and realized they were aggressive. The Humans, seeing giant cat people, automatically took it as a sign of war. And so the war has continued for 400 years...until now. Myrtan forces have been seen near a large Human city, the city of Lorr. The government has begun recruiting anyone and everyone who can get there in time. The job pays well, $2500 selats. But it's very risky. The Myrtans will arrive at Lorr in approximately 3 weeks, and there is a good chance of death.

So there you have it...A little bit of background into the Myrtan-Human war, and a job opportunity for anybody who wants it. If you'll be around sometime around the 27th, then apply! Send me an email @ mwerner70@msn.com saying that you're applying for the job. If the subject is Job Application for the Human Army you have a much better chance of getting it.

Buzzard2- || There and back again ||
A couple more members, a couple denied Join Forms (I'm sorry, but you can't copy it out of a rulebook...you know who you are.) and a few denied Spars... There have been alot of problems with people getting the format right, but mostly I've let it go. The problem is mostly just asking your opponent whether he wants Strength or Speed, putting his and your wants at the bottom of the email, and BANG! 90% of our format problems are solved. The first Duel was this weekend, between Tropen Villain and Mystere. Mystere won 50 credits from poor Villain ;). For site related news, I've done alot of work on tweaking the Dojos. Bladedancers are no longer the kings of cheapness, and Shadows have been boosted quite a bit, as has Magic. Warriors of both races are already good, but I gave them a little bit of a boost as well, so they can catch up with Bladedancers. I redid the Accuracy Chart, because I made it for Skill instead of Speed...oops ^_^. And now...time to do my 99 hours of homework :*(

10/04/02:

Buzzard2- || Vacation already??!!?? ||
A few more members today, 2 so far (1 Myrtan Warrior and 1 Myrtan Shaman). I'm leaving in about 20 minutes and I won't be available to sometime Sunday...I think. I might be able to access the internet late Saturday, but I'm not sure. So any join forms will be up on Sunday, sorry for the delay, blah blah blah, I can't answer your questions, I can't hear you.

10/03/02:

Buzzard2- || Fight fight fight! ||
More members now, because it's around 6 hours later...=) I believe there are 8 (5 Human Bladedancers, 1 Human Shadow, 1 Human Warrior, 1 Myrtan Shaman) members currently on the members pages, and at least 4 or 5 more who are planning on signing up. As the subject suggests, the first fight was tonite, between Sildragon and Tropen VIllain. I was in the chat to show them how to play, as they were both AIM RPG n00bs, but they got the hang of it pretty quick. I guess it's like Othello..."A moment to learn, a lifetime to master." =) I put up the Accuracy Chart, made some modifications to the handbook (minor stuff, such as how to upgrade your signature move) and made ALL the member pages, even though we don't have 1 member for each...Ah well. Time for sleep, and then another exciting day of....updating Timespray.

Buzzard2- || Someday...when my life has passed me by...I'll wonder why I worked so hard on Timespray... ||
But until then, PLAY PLAY PLAY!! =) As I'm posting this, we have a total of 4 members! And...3/4 are Bladedancers...>.< They're not that cool, are they? Anyways, start fighting, keep joining, and have some fun! ;D Also, we got more hits today than on any day in the history of Timespray! Yippee! Yipee! Let's pArTaY!!

10/02/02:

Buzzard2- || Let the games BEGIN!! ||
All moves have been FINISHED...For now. Expect tweaks and such though. The join page is UP, but I won't accept any forms sent before midnight tonite (PST, sorry East Coasters =P ). I'll make a members page tomorrow, when we hopefully have some!! ^_^ And forums...well, AIM battling might be up, but forums seem to be a long ways away. But keep trying to blackmail your webmaster friends to host the Timespray forums =)

10/01/02:

Buzzard2- [] Can I get a What What? []
I am so smart, I am so smart, s m r t! ^_^ In case you don't check everyday...MYRTAN WARRIOR MOVES ARE up! I have decided that Humans, Myrtans and Summons will all use the same magic, as they all draw it out of the same place. So that leaves 1 class...Wraiths. This is by far the hardest one, so ANY suggestions will be helpful. (All I really need are names, I can come up with stats. Just NAMES! =( I'm trying to get all you non-suggesters to suggest something! You will be rewarded when Timespray starts, and when Wraiths are finished [because AIM battling will open up once Wraiths are finished]). So suggest some names to me, because as you can see in the Myrtan moves, I kinda ran out of ideas...^_^ And the news system probably won't stay like this, if only because the []s look so stupid...

9/25/02:

Buzzard2- [] And all this time you thought I wasn't working... []
Well, I haven't been working on Timespray ;) so there. I'm reallly having problems thinking up Wraith Moves, so send ideas for summons. Rank 1 should be around 200 in all stats (other than skill, obviously) to be balanced. Rank 2: 300. Rank 4: 400. Mostly just think of names and moves for them. What else can you do? ;D

9/19/02:

Buzzard2-
New layout! Checkitout! For the full effect, you must be using Mozilla, or Opera, or Netscape, or IE 5 for the Mac. All of these browsers have full CSS support, so they'll make Timespray look awesome.

9/16/02:

Buzzard2-
Finished the Shadow moves, they're up now. Tomorrow's work: Wraiths or Shamans/Myrtan Warriors. I'm not really sure if they'll get individual moves yaet.

9/15/02:

Buzzard2-
I updated this weekend, honest...Actually I did, but a little late on Friday and Saturday (around 12:00 AM on Saturday and 2:00 AM on Sunday -_-;;). Today I worked on the Shadow moves, but I'm tired, so I'm done for the night. I'll have them finished up tomorrow.

9/12/02:

Buzzard2-
MORE UPDATES! =P Some new Bladedancer moves in the Dojo, check them out and let me know what you think! (In case you were wondering why I'm on a sudden update spree, here's the reason: I promised myself that if I could do something on the site everyday until it opens, that I would buy a server for the forums. I'm still not quite sure what I get out of this...[stupid dealling skills...I'm too good at it for my own good... O.o ] )

9/11/02:

Buzzard2-
To everybody who lost somebody a year ago, :'( . Other than that, no major updates to put on the news page...Look at my AIM profile or just look around to see what I updated today.

9/09/02:

Buzzard2-
Another day, another update. Making the site look perdy, which might mean totally redoing the layout. That's about it for now. Later!

9/08/02:

Buzzard2-
Updates are becoming more frequent...this can only mean one thing...THE APOCALYPSE IS COMING! OH MY GOD RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!! Aborior Encore II Forum I'm working on getting Aborior Encore II Forum and a server to host Aborior Encore II Forum on, but so far no luck with Aborior Encore II Forum, so we probably won't have Aborior Encore II Forum until I'm rich and I can afford Aborior Encore II Forum, but that'll never happen, unless people buy Aborior Encore II Forum! I'm hoping to get the Warrior stuff up today or tomorrow, so bug me about it constantly so I don't forget/get lazy. Also bug me about working on getting Aborior Encore II Forum obviously, and Aborior Encore II Forum Aborior Encore II Forum Aborior Encore II Forum Aborior Encore II Forum Aborior Encore II Forum Aborior Encore II Forum Aborior Encore II Forum Aborior Encore II Forum sorry, attack of Aborior Encore II Forum right there... Anyways, bug me about working on moves for the other Aborior Encore II Forum classes and I'll Aborior Encore II Forum try Aborior Encore II Forum to Aborior Encore II Forum do Aborior Encore II Forum it...alright, I'm gunna hafta stop updating, Aborior Encore II Forum is taking over my Aborior Encore II Forum site. >.<

Note: This site has been accused of sending subliminal messages. Those accusations are completely false.

9/04/02:

Buzzard2-
The forum hosts...suck. No support, nothing. I guess that's what happens when you get free stuff....which brings me to my next point: My school is doing a magazine drive, and if I sell magazines, I make $$! So if you wanna buy a subscription to PC Gamer, or EGM, or whatever, do it through me, cuz if I make $300 or more, I will not only buy this ->Aborior Encore II Forum but I'll also buy a host for them (and I'll work on the site for 1 full day! That's 24 hours!) It's discounted anyways, so why WOULDN'T you buy from me? If you do buy from me, the site is: http://www.qsp.com/store/index.asp and the info you have to fill out when you buy the magazine is:

[Edit: Deleted for privacy, lol...someone could come stalk me...*shudders*]

8/22/02:

Buzzard2-
Not much to say, other than WE ALMOST HAVE FORUMS but we don't >.<' The stupid server won't let me ftp into it, and they take 15 years to reply to support emails, so it might take awhile still. Other than that, I've been suffering from an attack of DontKnowWhatToDoItIs (aka Laziness) so I haven't been working much on Timespray anyways.

8/13/02:

Buzzard2-
I'm baaack! Worlds was pretty fun, Valdez lost in the finals (as usual...lol), I traded it alot of cards for worse cards and $$$$ ^_^...I didn't work on the Dojo much though, I was pretty busy the whole time. I tweaked the Magic, but other than that, nothing. Send in suggestions noooowwwww (I have move names and I can think up descriptions, so just worry about the effects and the upgrade rate. Maybe even just the effects, if you don't feel like making an upgrade rate.)!!
Aborior Encore II Forum.

8/05/02:

Buzzard2-
I'm going to Chicago/Wisconsin early tomorrow morning, for the DBZ CCG Worlds Tournament. I won't be back for a little more than a week, and I won't have computer access, but I'll be working on the moves! If you want me to work on a suggestion, send it NOW! Otherwise it won't get looked at for approx. 10 days. The Dojo is the last thing that needs to be finished for me to open up AIM battling, so send in your suggestions!
Aborior Encore II Forum.

7/29/02:

Buzzard2-
Well, the counter is apparently wrong ¯.¯¯° it says we have 628 hits, while the site stats say we have 1445...obviously time for a new counter. I've been working on the skills a little bit, but I still need suggestions (3 classes = 60 skills, so now you can see why). Special thanks to Guillo [edit: X sent one in too =P I just forgot about it] for sending in almost every single suggestion yet!!! (He thought of the names for most of the moves =D) I'm still working on the forum hosts, but since they're lazy, I dunno if we'll ever get them to host us :'(
Staff members are still needed (I know I haven't said anything about this in awhile, sorry =/) and here's what staff members/qualifications:

AIM Updator:
Qualifications: Must be good at math, and update every day.

Message Board Updator:
Qualifications: Must be good at math, very active, and update every day.

Wraith Updator:
Qualifications: Must be good at math.

Storywriter:
Qualifications: Must be creative, a good writer, and be able to write a plot. (I'll help with this one =P)

If you join as a staff member, you can still join as a normal character, AS LONG AS YOU DON'T TRY TO CHEAT! >.<

Buzzard2-
Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, but I was down in Santa Cruz visiting my cousin (and he doesn't have the internet, the poor kid) so don't blame me =D. Buuutttt...I did work on the Speed/Strength system a little, to make it a little more realistic and so that Strength actually did something...Expect another update later in the day, but don't count on it. Send me suggestions!!! (Also, the Job System will be up shortly...That actually is dependable =P)
Aborior Encore II Forum.

7/02/02:

Buzzard2-
Now I actually did update the Status effects and how the Skill System works, so you can see that in the Handbook. There's also a hint about Warrior moves in there, too.
Aborior Encore II Forum.

6/29/02:

Buzzard2-
I updated the Dojo with some more Magic, feedback on fairness would be good, along with suggestions for other classes' skills (and a Rank 3 Fire Spell). Later today, I'll probably update some more stuff, like Status effects, and how the skill system works. But don't count on it unless you bug me to death! =P And for some reason, our Forum hosts still haven't contacted me...o.O I'm sure they will someday though...
Aborior Encore II Forum.

6/23/02:

Buzzard2-
I'm back! I was on vacation for 8 days, so I haven't been doing much on the site (obviously). But while I was vacating, I did work on some new moves for the Dojo, so I'll put those up later. Other than that, nothing much is new, so just keep sending suggestions...I need the ideas!
Aborior Encore II Forum.

6/11/02:

Buzzard2-
More updates! The Shop is pretty much done, unless I'm forgetting something. There's a new background, if you're blind and didn't already notice it. A new header thing too, if that's what it's called. So keep submitting Moves for the Dojo, and Timespray will be open in no time! If you're lucky, I'll update every day! So be nice to me...(oh, and bribes are good too!)
Aborior Encore II Forum.

6/9/02:

Buzzard2-
Dreamweaver expired, so I had to go searching for something else. But I can update again! The Role-Play system is pretty much done, it just needs some basic Skills then I will open that part of the RPG. We still need Moves and Items though, preferably not Magic or Swords (Plenty of submissions for that already!) You can just click my name to open an email. Also, we broke 100 hits! ^_^ Unfortunately, the server we will be using for the boards has not contacted me yet, so hopefully they will do so today or tomorrow.
Aborior Encore II Forum.

5/26/02:

Buzzard2-
Well, the server I found was a password scam...luckily I never use the same password for anything!! I found another server for the boards already, and the boards should be up as soon as I get a confirmation thing from them. Please submit items and moves and other suggestions to me at my 2 email addresses. Don't worry about them being good, just send whatever you thinkg of!
Aborior Encore II Forum.

5/20/02:

Buzzard2-
Well, I found a good, free board...and a server for it! In the same day! *is verrry happy* Now I think Timespray is about 85% done, I just hafta set up the boards and figure out a few more things, and then all we need are members and staff! I would still rather have
Aborior Encore II Forum though.

5/19/02:

Buzzard2-
Well, it seems that nobody could get to the site because I was working on the index.shtml file, and I deleted it...so now it should be back up. Anyways, check the Handbook for the new info on Classes and Races, and that's about it! Oh, and plug this link for me: Aborior Encore II Forum. We REALLY need this forum, or something else that's good and free (and adless too, so don't try to tell me EZBoard or Proboards) and I can set up CGI, so if you see a good board, ask the webmaster for the code! Please!

5/15/02:

Buzzard2-
Timespray is more than 70% done, but it's all on paper, so almost none is uploaded. I'll be uploading some tonight. If anybody can find a good, free message board, it will be done MUCH sooner, as we probably won't get the Aborior Encore II Forum anytime soon...
Also, I'm looking for staff members! Here are the open positions:

Main Staff:
Somebody who will stay devoted to the site, and will update fairly often. Must be willing to put in some time into Timespray.

Human AIM Updator:
You must be devoted to the site, and you must be able to update around every other day.

Myrtan AIM Updator:
You must be devoted to the site, and you must be able to update around every other day.

Human Message Board Updator:
You must be very devoted to the site, and you must be able to update everyday.

Myrtan Message Board Updator:
You must be very devoted to the site, and you must be able to update everyday.

Wraith Updator:
You must be devoted to the site, and must be able to update both AIM and Message Boards, but only for Wraiths and their Summons.

4/22/02:

Buzzard2-
I'm starting Timespray today. Hopefully it will be a cool RPG, but who knows?
