The forum upgrade is not the only change that is being implemented into these forums now. Another change that was going on, completely unknown to everyone save for Gamefreak and myself, was the addition of a clanning system, here on the Desert Colossus. Once you have achieved your first hundred posts here on TDC (and have been member for more than a week), you have the option to enroll into a clan. If you apply for a clan, you will be given a test that will be used specifically for that clan. If you do not pass the test, then you will not be allowed to reapply for that clan for a month. Within that time, you may apply for the other two clans if you wish, but beware: Except for VERY SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES, once you are in a clan, the decision is final.
That is all for now, your choices are: Armos Clan, the clan of Defense, Darknut Clan, the clan of Power, and Wizzrobe Clan, the clan of Magic. Make your choice, enter your clan, the rest should be explained there. Enjoy yourself.
The mods you should apply to for that particular forum are: Wizzrobe Clan: Shika and Zelda Vet; Armos Clan: MagmarFire and Darth Wyndisis; Darknut Clan: JQ Pickwick and (with his permission, of course), Twilight Wolf.
Well?
I could have sworn ZV tried to do something similar to this, but with the goddesses/oracles.
Hmmm, Darknut or Wizzrobe? Both very appealing choices for me.
If we don't pass a test for one, can we try for another?
Yes, but once all your options are exhausted, you'll have to wait until the first one you tried is made available again (by waiting a month).

Something I haven't been informed about here?
Surprise! Yes or no?
Yeah, that was a bit of a surprise. Well, I graciously accept!
Sounds good. Shika, I'll do whatever one you don't want to do.
Wait, 1st, what happens if you join one?
2nd, what are you tested on?
3rd, how do the clans differ? (I mean other than name and stuff.)

You get the satisfaction of being in a clan. Chatting in clans is absolutely anything-goes, and it has the potential for challenged in-between the clans. It's more of a promotion of posting than anything else--
also,

Legend of Zelda -- Kingdom Hearts
Power -- Power (duh)
Courage -- Defense (courage to defend homeland, for ex.)
Wisdom -- Magic (sages = magicians that are wise)
Does this mean that Kingdom Hearts is ripping off Zelda? I've never played KH, but I assume so. You should be ashamed of yourself for playing-- apparently you're promoting downright intellectual theft.
well, in my mind, it goes like this:
defense=protecting, guarding, blocking, ect
power=strength, attacking, ect
magic=spells and supernatural abilities...
courage=bravery=strength, and power...
wisdom=knowledge=smart
all's i'm saying is that defense, attack and magic are the exact words from it. In the beginning, you chose one, (ups that stat), and throw away one (brings down that stat).
and I apologise about my intellectual theft. *scolds brain*
now, what do you mean by promotion of posting?
Seeing as how Kingdom Hearts is the only game EVAR to use attack, defense, and magic, this is clear copyright infringement.
And to be clear, they're referred to at the beginning to be "Power of the Warrior," "Power of the Guardian," and "Power of the Mystic." It's obvious that they're quite different from Power, Wisdom, and Courage.
I think It's about time we get back on topic...
What exactly are we tested on? Zelda, personality, all around knowledge...?
How do we apply?
We're still working some stuff through.

Well, in case you hadn't noticed, we're not as huge as we were over the summer. This is a little forum quirk to hopefully bring back some old, disinterested members and
also make these forums a generally more fast-pace, jovial place.

Good question. PM a moderator of the clan you would like to join, asking for a test. They're not done yet, but when they are (and when you do this), a test will be given to you. Fill out the test to the best of your ability and it will graded-- and you will be accepted or otherwise accordingly.

Tango-- we'll assume you're lying. Surround your cactus with lemons, this'll startle her. Now, quickly, blow smoke in her face. She'll cough
every time. *claps* And you're done!

The mods of the clan, or you and gamefreak?
Preferably the individual clan mods. They're more focused on their clan than Tacheon or I would be since we have access to all three.
so wait, is there any difference between clans? or is it just weather you like magic, power, or wisdom better?
It's just a way of sorting the other clans. I would've named them, "Nayru, Farore and Din", but ZU already did it ;__;
I was thinking of Zora, Goron, or Kokiri originally when you mentioned a clan system. Kind of an Ocarina of Time motif.
But this is a lot more original while staying true to Zelda.

Sorting means taking
different things and moving them into a place with
similar properties. what are said differences?
The names, yes. But after a while you'll start to notice that the clans begin to acquire "personalities" of their own, one becomes prevalent and domineering, while another becomes the quiet, cloistered, sagacious type, sort of like a pantheon of scholars. The people that make up the clan will be sorted-- into what clan environment they'll prosper the best in. Please, don't try to use logic-- you're bad at it.
Hey, easy you two.
Sorry, completely my fault. I'm just on-edge about this stuff and making it click.
My apologies, FR.

Good advice. You can tell his dad is asian.
And the Wizzrobe clan will be ready eventually, I'm just kind of extremely lazy and haven't gotten around to making questions yet.

wisdom=knowledge=smart
Sorry, just felt like pointing out the being wise doesn't necessarily equal being smart. After all, the most knowledgeable man in the world may also be the biggest fool in the world, whereas the wisest man in the world would admit that he isn't knowledgeable about everything.
Now then, to be on topic.
QuoteChatting in clans is absolutely anything-goes,...
So clans get their own boards where they may not have to necessarily watch their language?
Sorry profanity is not allowed, no.
Maybe things'll be a little less strict until the younger members start pouring in (hah).
So are the rules in the clan boards essentially the same as the ones on the regular boards?
You really did confuse a lot of people with that one Davy- I included.
My aporogies. More clarifications will follow-- once I'm less lazy.

no offense to all who are / are joining wizzrobe, btwbut anyway, when should we start PMing mods to join?
I believe you can go ahead an PM the mods, but it'll take a while to send you your test.
What if you don't want to be a member of any clan and prefer being the loner? Is that allowed.
Nobody's forcing you to join a clan. So no, you don't have to join.

...I see what you did there...
Whatever do you mean, FR?
i will allow the clan leaders to fight for my love
Sorry, Rabies, but it doesn't work that way.
Besides, with ZV's departure, poor Shika would be outnumbered.
Oh, it works that way, why should i join a clan that doesn't want me?
Also, shika has proven his clan unworthy of my love, by saying that he didn't want to be stuck with it, so your point is moot.
Oh, we want you. But if we all sent you our tests, and it turns out you can join all three, you'd still have to choose just one clan to join.
well shika and his clan have been disqualified, and i need to know which clan wants me more.
Darknuts! We only have 3 or 4 members!
That's better than us. Armos only has two members if you don't count Mags and me.
:-[
Well.... we're....... we're better!
member count means nothing! it's all about who wants me the most!
Well, see, the more members we have, the easier it will be to crush all resistance.
then maybe i should see this quiz of yours....
of course, so you all know, with me comes the entire majini army...
Well, I'll send you a PM with the quiz, then.
