Just out of curiosity, how does the acts of one person affect an entire guild?

That's like saying if Navak were to giggle and wear a dress, the entire Barbarian guild would be affected.


Call me baby-face Lei.

I think Agonar would wet himself if he saw such a sight.

LOL I feel special I got my own thread! Oh Shavay just dont nip anything important.

Kleis

P.s.
I'll try to respond better when I can read the post and not laugh.

Hehe, I didn't want to be the one to say it Shavay. No offense, but Kleis ain't that high on the food chain.

And is this guy for real? I've just been laughing at this thread because its so inane.

>Someone's saying Kleis is high-ranking? Has he gone up a lot of circles while I wasn't looking? Nice guy, sure, but high-ranking?

That does bring up an interesting point. I'm not defending Kleis in this statement but what exactly is considered 'high-ranking' through circles these days?

Since being hi circle is relative to the year of DR, we could say Kleis is very high ranking circa DR 1997. That is, if we know what is the outer limits of the highest circle bards in the realms and who they are.

There are just too many assumptions in that statement of circles equating to high ranking. Unless there is a book of every bard's circle available so members can see where their standing is, it is all a matter of how you see things, isn't it? Or opinions.

What I hear many folks saying when they say high ranking, what they really many is status. Are they famous? Infamous? And for what reason? Some folks are very high circle in the realms but you wouldn't know their names cause they are not famous, they don't mingle, they aren't seen, they train and hang out with two or three folks. Status I believe is what folks are looking for. Which goes hand in hand with other folks opinions mattering more or less. It is all a very complicated social phenomenon and I'm fascinated with it. From what I have seen, those who are the most outspoken and socialable are considered 'high-ranking' and those who are introverts are not.

Wouldn't this be true?

You're easily fascinated, apparently.

We do but we're not telling.

Yes you missed something. You might want to do your research, go back a few pages, consider the tone and the assumptiveness of the original post and then ask us if we need to be told what armor to wear and by whom....

<<Next time you run across Kleis, thank him for ruining the good name of plate wearing bards everywhere. Due to his ineptness while using plate, all bards from this point on are considered "laughing stocks". Don't take it to hard, really. You can't be responsible for every Bard out there. Just, well, to me, a Bard of such high standing as Kleis, you'd think he could handle his armor a bit better. Drop the jousting dream Kleis. At least until you know how to remove rust from metal.

Toot toot thy horn.

Yes, we should take advice from an Armor Secondary guild who has easier armor requirements than our own, an Armor Tertiary guild. Fear the Traders and their mighty forgi...oh wait, nope. I'll continue wearing the armors (plural, as in more than just leathers, to include both Heavy Chain and Plate) I choose and if anyone wants to give us advice on armors, it should at least be a Paladin.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go mock every Trader who picks up any type of weapon because they are Tertiary learners in that skill-set.

-Ianhanse, Bard who would be 20 circles higher going by the Trader Guild's easier armor reqs.

In all truthfulness, I've seemed to note that Leather has only two uses.

a) Evasion

b) Stealth.

If you don't use primarily either, then you'd be better of going metal. Especially since, in the particular case of bards, you can train all the armors hinderance ratio off the same (or more or less-- I think LC and Leather was your lowest, but it's been -years- since I saw that list).

So, if anything, Gidske should have told bards to train LC. But he's ignorant, so he said Leather, which is actually a heavier, more encumbering armor than LC.

Yay ignorance.

And why are we giving him a hard time?

Because he's posting in a conflict folder, and is a troll.

It's obviously he has a personal vendetta against Kleis, and is making a thinly veiled attack. Thus, he fails, because his veil is so thin, and his politicking stinks.

Rar.

"If your house costs 3 plat, and your dog costs 18....you maight bey a redneck..."

Truth be told, this whole episode came about from a dare. I was talking to Kleis about buying a horse cause of ya'lls ability to pick up objects from horseback and him liking to throw pointy sticks and so forth.

Kleis replied that he is going to wait until he trains up his Heavy Plate skill so he can get involved with jousting. I found the statement absurbed (a bard jousting!) and laughed about it. He dared me to make a comment about bards wearing plate to the general population at large. Hence my post.

Actually, he double dog dared me, and you know that isn't going to fly. In the process, I told him he was going to get a lynching for it with me if that was the case, hence, the Kleis post.

As for personal vendetta, I'm afraid I've known Kleis (or prior lives) for a few years now....and yes, I hate his guts for choosing to be a Bard instead of a Trader like I told him to do!

For all of that, I have to say you bards do stake an opinion strongly when an outsider shows his face, you even get support from a GM in thrashing the poor sod. I wish the Trader boards offered as much heart

Unfortunately traders are an apathetic bunch.

I have no hard feelings about any of it. You guys are fun!

Turn from the Dark Side Gidske, it is never too late to be a bard.

Um...um...hm. Okay, how about this:

Macfrae's a better guildleader than the other bard GLs because he's the best drinker.

Okay, sorry excuse for an argument, but...

Wow, nice attempt to pile all of the responsibility for the bard's guild being a laughing stock onto one weak, vulnerable, clumbsy, individual like Kleis. I mean, who would disagree that he's inept anyway? That's just a little too neat. I submit that the entire guild has always been a laughing stock, and all of its members quite as inept as the next.

My first jousting experience was watching Kat and Tea in Therenborough right after horses came out. If there's a good time to be had, leave it to a bard to figure out how to make it happen.
