If you want to have Riley go rogue / leave the clan, that's probably the direction you should aim to take things in. Otherwise you'll wind up staying on a course you'd rather not stay on, which might not end well. Definitely talk it over with your clanmates though if you can, if you haven't already, as your choice will affect their characters' relations with yours, and their opinions on the matter could very well wind up informing yours.

As someone who's in... two or three clans right now (which I wouldn't recommend doing) I can definitely empathize with the thought of leaving it all behind. But the important thing to note is that there are many different ways of doing that, different speeds of doing that, and different reasons for doing so. For example, maybe instead of having Riley leave the Blade Mercs in their entirety, perhaps he simply found somewhere else to stay at for the time being?

Maybe he bought a place, maybe he's just been hanging out at other people's homes? You say he has a wife and kids- is he spending time with them?
Maybe in addition to working with the Blade Mercs & seeing his kid, he's been engaging in extracurricular activites? Maybe there's another woman? Man?
Maybe he's been doing missions for the CIA again, as opposed to missions for the Blade Mercs?

All of those questions are points you may want to try and answer, whether that answer results in Riley's separation from the Mercs or not. Talk it over with your clanmates, think it over yourself, and know that whatever direction you decide to go in, we'll be here to help you go down it.

Merry Christmas. To those who celebrate it.

You make it sound like we're friends. (Jk we are.)

I was discussing the matter with someone yesterday, and they gave me a better idea on what to do. Instead of having Riley leave the Mercs and altering his path, I said tensions were building between him and the authorities in the CIA, as to say, Riley's starting to doubt the moral inclinations of his boss and coworkers, and he's starting to believe they aren't what they say they are.

So, I'm not thinking Riley will leave the clan anymore, but more likely go underground, disappear, MIA, because the CIA knows of his family and will use it as leverage against him, so he disappears along with his wife and kids. That way, he can stay in the BM and work from the shadows. I'll discuss it with Haru, my current boss and see what he thinks.

Okay guys,I have an idea for a joke thread if anyone is interested; "Things Gladiators aren't Allowed to Do" based on several other similar threads i've found.

It's essentially a list of joke non-cannon rules that anybody can add to that applies over a broad range of topics including things that you are not allowed for specific people to do. I this case, the topic is gladiators (specific and general). Of course these aren't actual rules and technically you and your characters can do anything on the list we'll make though you might need permission for some of the actions if they apply to someone else's character etc. What do you think?

It sounds interesting to say the least. I'll look over some the links and see. But for now, I'm in support of it.

Okay i'm having a bit of trouble thinking of things at the moment. I promise i'll come up with some stuff, but in the mean time I need 10 to start (9 thanks to Chromium). I promise I'll get to it, but if you want to speed up the process through PM, I would appreciate it.

Is this in general, or for specific characters?

It's both.

I'm working on some jokes but so far they're just jabs at cliches although if I can get SaulMurphy's permission for this, Prince is forever banned from any and every gambling establishments.

Well Adrian banned Sleipnir from killing galaxies.


That do you?

Happy New Year!

Now, I was gonna just wait for the main one in General Discussion, but now that that looks like it's not happening, anyone interested in a Best ___ Thread for wRHG/WL?

I will also take suggestions for things to vote on

A Happy New Year to you as well and I'm all for that. Unfortunately I don't have specific suggestion other than the obvious ones(Best story, most improved writer, best character, best battle, stuff like that.)

Possible Prefixes:
> Best (of 2016)
> Most loved/recognized (of 2016)
> Most promising (going into 2017- if applicable)

Possible Categories:
> solo story
> collab
> spar
> wRHG battle
> wRHG clan
> longform series / story arc
> up-and-coming writer
> established writer
> overall character
> character personality
> character ability
> character weakness
> tool / weapon / device


Example:

Most promising tool / weapon / device going into 2017:
> Leikani's ice spear
> Ethernu's multi-tool
> Various other options
> Vibrators for hands

Its a spear not a staff.

Though im up for this if everyone else is :D
