Ah, hello there. As I have promised, I have returned and well rested I might add. Though a tad disappointed. It seems that many distrust me and will not heed my words. For the Soothsayer has seen many-a-homin talk to people they perhaps shouldn't have. Or maybe they should have? But we all shall learn with experience, yes?

As for proof of my abilities? Who are you to question me? But then again, who am I to help you? None of that matters however. I am not so easily pulled into the squabbles of surface dwellers. I am here to offer my assistance and lend my gifts, but it is you who must choose whether to heed or not.

What is this? Oh? Hmm.... the air is deathly still. Why so suddenly? The silent words are no longer whispers. Something has been found. Secrets are no longer hidden. The "wildfire" has reached the ears of Matis Royalty. They will call all homin to listen. Libi Freldo, the Royal Herald, shall make an announcement at the Yrkanis Palace at 8 PM GMT on Thursday on Arispotle.

Be there, and you shall no longer doubt my foresight. All come around some time, ha ha ha...

I shall return.

Interesting, Olca will try to be there.

That is if I get it re-subscribed tonight.

Umm... come on guys I'm really in to this RP and all but we really need someone to announce & administer the events, seriously give The Soothsayer a break. I've ran my own small MMORPGS in the past and running events are as frustrating as it is without players commenting on the approach the event team takes.

I'm sure many old players would love to return with events unfolding and quite frankly regular events are enough motivation for me to return. So lets take a deep breath and follow through, what many of you are doing is disrupting the flow of events. GameForge took this approach but it will be fruitless if everyone goes on criticizing the every announcement made.

Sorry, I'm in a very bad mood today... ^.^'

OOC:
@meharu: It looks to me like most of the posts criticising the Soothsayer are IC. Therefore they are perfectly valid and have no bearing on GameForge or the running of MMORPG events.

OOC:

An event announcer should be strictly ooc tho, otherwise is open to Rp interpretation, bias and opinion. No IG role is neutral enough to satisfy all player points of view, so pure announcements should be just that.. purely announcing. Trying to be clever and to rp announcements, simply adds unneeded flash and confusion to a simple proceedure. Unless of course that is the desired effect.

Imo the choice of trying to Rp an event announcer as if they are a character is a poor choice. The role should be mechanical and without rp, if a bias is required then one uses characters in the game.

This is advice from one who has done alot of rp events, for online and rl games and systems.

Lets see, Tidings posted messages from Characters.. Which suggests Tidings was a messenger.. That seems pretty much RP to me.

Or is it just you are against everything GF does, whether or not you like the change or not? (btw, this is a rhetorical question if you can't hint my sarcasm.

//OOC\\ Hey! the RP sections are the only ones to not suffer any flame wars. lets keep it that way shall we ? //OOC\\

*bows to Soothsayer* I will be there.

I hope someone records what is said, I will be working deep in the Prime Roots at this time and will not be able to attend.

Rest old one for the dank, light less underbelly of Atys seems to game with your mind. But then maybe your "gift" may well forewarn us. Either way my sword bares sharp as does my mind. Depending on whether I'm required to be on watch or train I will do my best to be there.
