This fine ship, this fine crew OR, Your new TDC and you!

[Keaton]

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?

[Hi no Seijin]

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?

[Keaton]

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?

[Keaton]

Surprise!  Yes or no?

[Twilight Wolf]

Yeah, that was a bit of a surprise. Well, I graciously accept!

[Zelda Veteran]

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.)

clan of Defense, clan of Power, and clan of Magic

...ring any bells? *coughKingdomHeartscough*

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--

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.

[cacturnerules]

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?

[DW]

Seeing as how Kingdom Hearts is the only game EVAR to use attack, defense, and magic, this is clear copyright infringement.

[MagmarFire]

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.

[cacturnerules]

I think It's about time we get back on topic...

What exactly are we tested on? Zelda, personality, all around knowledge...?

[HylianHero92]

How do we apply?

[Gamefreak]

We're still working some stuff through.
