Searching for a heir apparent

[Darklux]

Hello!

You noticed that I am inactive on GK.
Though it is certainly fun to be king, I can't invest more time to a kingdom of a dead playerworld.

But hey, an kingdom deserves to be active, so iam searching for a heir apparent.

If you think you might be a good king, just write an application into this Samurai forum, with about 2 wordpages of ideas and plans (how you will rule, what you will do, rp, what you plan to develop for samurai and so on).

I will decide on base of these plans and ideas, nevertheless a good level and gear wont hurt, so that the new tenno could start up a new war or whatever
There will be no public vote as they have shown to fail, as people just vote the people they like, regardless if they are complete jerks.

The Call for Papers ends 03-31-2008, have fun!

[Pimmeh]

Erm, who are you to judge a person?
If they are complete jerks? If the majority likes them, it must be your fault that you dont, no?

[lordbosh]

You have a PM from me. I'd rather some topics not be made public.

[Ravenblade1979]

Woohoo bosh thought you would.

Any more questions?

The only reason I will, and the only reason I am back, is because of what I saw during easter's event.

If the people who came through for us for that event are being taken seriously now, I will move GK up to "salvageable" again on my list.

I will compile my ideas today and have a large post some time later tonight or tomorrow after my morning jog.

That's ironic, because I find a lot of Germanic people are quite absent minded, entirely ignorant of facts, but entirely beuarocratic.

Actually if you look at the statistics from the votes, Bush never had a majority. In 2000 he lost the popular vote, becoming President through the Electoral College. This outraged many citizens. In 2004 Bush received a majority by .7% while their being several rumors about missing ballot boxes. This outraged more citizens. I know this was not a thread about the politics of the United States but it is generally not a good idea to make such statements about a country that has citizens perfectly willing to fight you to the death. So lets be friends.

Edit: Stephen's post reminded me of something, I have been in the German program for three years now. I have met Germans who didn't even know the Chancellor's name.

Edit2: To make this post relevant, I support Bosh as leader of Samurai.

[OasaTor_PK]

I am here, and I am a much better applicant then a certain other.

I am not going into a deep story on what I will do, how I will change it, ect. You have all seen it before and mostly everyone who is downright smart will consider me as a possibility of taking over Samurai.

I never got my chance to take it over hostility wise, maybe now I can take it over diplomatically.

You know I can make Samurai proud Darklux, don't fail your own kingdom.

[Arch_Angel]

Intro
Hello all, my name is Angel. Many of you who play GK might have known me to play on there quite a bit. So I'm here to apply for the kingdom of Samurai, and help fulfill its duty as a kingdom.

Interests
First let us get a background of who I am on Graal Kingdoms and as a person in general.
Some of my interest on Graal Kingdoms are:
-PKing
-Buying/Selling scrolls (Rewrite them with my lvl 107 mental)
-Level my Phys. (Need to build this up higher to be more powerful)
-Gain exp, and move up on the '/hiscore' list. I currently only have about 174 mill exp points.
-RP on a kingdom island, or occasionally in the pub (even though that doesn't happen much, if not ever on GK anymore)
-Help low level 'newbies' level up to 8-12 by giving them Leveling scrolls, and cheaper armor/weapons I have to get them started, and then recruit them for Samurai, and teach them the basis of GK.
-Alchemy (DoV, help some people with DoPV supplies)

My interests as a person (skip over if you do not care for this section)
-Music
-Online chat (Occasionally TeamSpeak)
-Friends
(Short and sweet)

Goals
My goals I would like to set for the Samurai Kingdom:
--Short-Term Goals-- (occur very soon/quickly)
-Get the ranking system squared away. (last I saw it was messy, but haven't checked in a while. Darklux might have straightened it out)
-Get some quick houses built up and populate Samurai a little more.
-Help newbs out and recruit them when leveling them to 10+ and teaching them the ways of Graal Kingdoms.

--Long-Term Goals-- (take a little more time than the short-term goals)
-Gather friends I know that have taken a break from GK and will come back for me.
-Restore some RPing nature to the kingdom (will try my very best at this, I know many see it as 'dead' on GK)
-Get new things added to Debug, and pester the Admins to get so new stuff added (AKA UPDATES) (again, will try my very best at this. I'm a Developer [GAT/LAT/GANI/SFX] so I can work on levels/graphics mainly, thats my most qualified position.)
-Add a house on Samurai, and make it a Pub of our own. Have it open to all people of the Samurai kingdom, and can come in, and have drinks/food/small amounts of supplies. Will basically be a Pub/Stock-House for Samurai members.
-Get some war (whether its friendly war (fun), or battle war (the real thing)) going to keep the fun rolling.
-Host 1-2 Events a week offering off very good prizes, can be anywhere form Diamonds, to +12 Armor, to a bulk of 500-100 Leveling/Dest Scrolls.

Information
Those are some of the goals I would like to get done and would see myself doing. Another random fact about GK for me, is I have about 1.5k hours total on it. It is spread across 3 different accounts (why? I don't know, but only have 1 with Kingdoms gold now) and will show whoever wants to see it, some proof of my hours if they have any problems about it. I assure you I DO know a good bit about GK and have experienced many things in my time there. I started off playing with some 'oldbies' I met, who taught me a lot of things about it. This is the information I wish to pass down to the people who lack the knowledge of some of the concepts of GK.

Questions?
If anyone has any questions about me and GK, then please feel free to ask, I would be more than happy to answer whatever you throw my way thats GK related.

I approved before, but I don't like the attitude in that post, so I'm not sure now.

ITEMS
-Crafted-
Sakkat
Shurikens – throwing weapon
A new, better looking katana.

-Kingdom Set-

Stats – The samurai focus on speed, agility, and deadly striking power to defeat their foes, in return they sacrifice defense as well as health to do this. (str, dex, damage, speed + on stats typically)

Shield – Samurai will not use a shield, but rather a Parrying Katana on the offhand. This will appear to show all samurai as dual wielding weapons.

Weapon – A new, polished and brilliant katana will be crafted. I would like for the current back attack gani to be replaced with a 360 degree spinning attack.

Cloak – The cloak will be replaced by War Banners, which will represent the individual clans of Samurai. These clans will be established and lead by Kensai. As the nation grows, so too will the clans and the war banners.

NATIONALISM

Clans – Each samurai can become a member of a clan. Clans will, in time, be represented by war banners.

-Ranks-

Emperor – absolute ruler, political figurehead
-Shogun – commander of military forces
--Kensai – honored warriors, responsible for training other new samurai.
---Ninja – stealth/ranged specialist
---Wu Jen – Mage
--- Shukenja – priest
----Ashigaru – foot soldier, responsible for finding additional new samurai.
----- Ronin – fallen warriors
------Bushi – peasant fighter

RECONSTRUCTION OF ISLAND

Terraforming of the island. All non oriental objects will be cleared and replaced as needed. Also will have a river flowing downward from the central lake which will drain into the sea, this will allow some nice bridges to be made for that tranquil appearance.

Rebuilding the castle… I will need to find someone who can do high quality oriental style graphics for this, as it will be a custom building. An opened area would be in the center, with a Zen Garden and pond with some fish.

Dojo – An arena and place to train new samurai warriors.

Tea House – A samurai only pub of sorts. Will serve Sushi, Tea, and Saki.

All homes must be relocated to cities, which will have the roads adjusted to fit certain amounts of homes. All inactive homes will be located in the north.

Storage House – Samurai will need a maintained storage house for supplies to keep up with a growing army. We will keep stored a selected amount of

RECRUITING AND TRAINING

Requirements to join Samurai…
1 - The ability to work in a group, enjoy participating in activities, and respect your fellow samurai.
2 – The desire to learn the basics of the game and constantly improve yourself.
3 – Bloodlust, a thirst for combat and warfare.

All new samurai will go through a training program to show them how to become better, more loyal warriors.

The primary recruiters will be the Ashigaru, the trained soldiers of the Samurai army. Their focus will be to draw in more members, especially newer players without experience.

New samurai will then train under the Ashigaru, ninja, Wu Jen, and Shukenja until they have completed their basic training and have experienced the world. The new samurai will then be apprenticed to a Kensai and a clan.

WORLD PLANS

The Embassy will be home to the second united nations council. The primary topic will be regarding Rules of War, and a proper treaty will need to be ratified by all nations and be universally adopted to allow proper war. Those refusing to adhere to the proper rules of war will suffer great sanctions.

War will be, promised. You all know me, you know I believe firmly in war being the single most important entity which GK always lacks. And I vow to bring an ever lasting conflict to the world.

War will bring politics and diplomacy as well. We will use the embassy to forge treaties, and perhaps even alliances with our neighbors. And in time, those alliances and treaties will expire and war will resume its course. Such is the way of all things, and it is through war that a Samurai can prove their worth to the Emperor.

[lordbosh]

This is a rough outline, but my head is really bothering me and I did want to get this put up tonight rather than another day. I've already submitted the kingdom item ideas to the devs and they will be looking over and working on them.

Crafted items will also need to be done, I will see about that after the kingdom item projects are done, unless I find another graphics artist to build those separately.

Questions, comments, concerns? feel free to post or PM.

Hatred Lucifer

Samurai Application

Introduction

Alright so hopefully you know who I am already and if you don’t let me take a second to introduce my self. I go by the name Hatred Lucifer and for my RP Samurai name I go by Kurai Mitsukai. I joined Samurai back when Damix owned the kingdom which is roughly about four years ago and have been in the Kingdom ever since. I also were nominated for Emperor when Sam and Bjorn stepped in last time because of how many times in 2 years Samurai changed leadership and I was placed 2nd in the polls. Now if you haven’t heard of me before it’s because that I ran out of gold about 3 months ago and was unmotivated this summer when I lost four houses with quite a lot of items but now I am back.

Experience

If you are wondering what type of experience I have with having a position of power let me give you a list of experiences.
1) I am currently the Player Relationship Admin (PRA) on Aeon and have been for at least the last two years. If you are wondering what I do I am FAQ+GP+EP+PR because PR also has its own tasks outside of the others.
2) I was also PR/FAQ/ET on Era for a while a year ago.
3) I have owned a gang on Era about three years ago during the time when Jen/Snake owned Era named Urban Ninjas.
4) Owned a Business on Ol’West for about 6 months till I ran out of gold.
5) Own a gang on Atrius named Urban Ninja as well.
6) I owned a gang and business and radio station on Aeon untill they ended up closing access to the world and then I ended up becoming PRA.
7) I will list a time outside of graal. On a game called Ragnarok Online on a private server of about 800 people named ParadiseRO I owned a gang named Yakuza with about 60 players where you end up raiding castles so I thought I would list this because it shows I have experience in how to lead a group of people into a war. There is about a dozen other times on other private servers but you get the idea.

Plans

Ranks: First thing that I will do is I will be organizing the ranks which I have the perfect person to help me make them a friend of mine who knows a lot about Japanese and Japans history so I will be able to easily fix the ranking with the ranks I have in mind and the proper titles that I can get.

Recruiting: One thing that has been said for many years now is that Samurai is dead and it pretty much has been for a while with activity which I plan to change. I know a lot of the old Samurai members and plan to add them back along with recruiting new active members. I will not be picky about hours or levels but more of activity of the Kingdom. I am not one to recruit massive number of people when 3/4 of them don’t long on but once every six months. So a goal of mine is to keep it activity but at the same time not having 300 some members when GK only holds a player count of 40 tops.

Merchants: One thing that I think is important is to give Samurai a merchants community to have people constantly coming to Samurai Island. I plan to move all of the current houses with asking the owners of those houses to another town or a new location so that the Gojuryu (The town where the ferry arrives to will be only for merchant housing so it makes it more accessible to the players. Hopefully this idea and plan will increase the number of merchant housings and the player housing on Samurai. Doing this will give a good chance of also increasing the number of people in the Samurai Kingdom.

Events: Samurai no doubt has been lacking in Events. The last time a Samurai event was hosted that I was aware of was two summers ago when Strom hosted a mining event of who can give the most supplies to him to build storage housing for Samurai and the prize was Samurai gloves. (I came in second... really close to first XP) So I plan to host at least a monthly event if I can get Samurai items from the EMA or not even if it has to come out of my own pocket.

RP: This has died pretty much on GK but I will attempt to hopefully try to bring it back. I will ask all members to wear a Japanese first and last name while on tag which I know isn’t much but it will be a start along with creating a story line for their character and how he/she has come to the point where he/she is at now.

[Hatred89]

Kingdom Development

Oh boy I think this is my favorite part of the application and the job of being Emperor. To bring new content to Samurai or even GK that you had a part in making. I have to many ideas for me to list them all but I will list some of my main ideas but not all of them will make it to the application because I still want some to be a surprise.
First thing is that I don’t want you to be offended or upset about any of these ideas because any large scale idea that could possibly upset any kingdom members or any players of GK I will end up posting on the forums in a poll to see how many people exactly want it to be made. This way it will save the Kingdom developers time in case they end up making something that people don’t want and we can spend time on something that can be used.

Next Page

One more thing before we get to the part of the ideas. You might be asking yourself at this moment “What development skills does HL even have and how good is he?” Well I have messed around with leveling and gani but I have taken a two year course that was five days a week for three hours a day in highschool that gave college credit based on graphics. Now I don’t do pixel graphics but I do know how to use the programs and even though I am more of a logo designer or poster designer I do have the know the programs and what is good or bad. So I will end up having people hired as Kingdom Developers which won’t be hard to find because I already have people in mind and I even have people who would be willing to do graphics with out wanting a RC on Debug. So for graphics there won’t be a problem at all in creating anything needed.

Kingdom Event Coins

Each king would get their own event coins for example. Samurai Event coin, Forest Event coin and Dustari and so on. Each coin would have their own graphics so people can tell them apart by their name and by the icon. The icon on the image can very well be the same icon on the "Select a Kingdom" window since that is their logos. Each kingdom would have a level made just like "Coin Works" on event island but it will be on the kingdom's island instead of the event island. Each shop will have the kingdom event equipment. For example Samurai would have Samurai boots of haste, Samurai Gloves, and the Kurenai Joukai Shield. Just as Sam gives his event coins to the Event Masters he would give the Kingdom Event Coins to the kingdom leaders. From here it can work one of two ways.. The Emperor/Empress who ever runs the kingdom hosts the coins off him self or asigns someone to host them off for him. That person will then keep a log of what event they did on what day and who won the event and what they got for winning that event. The Emperor would only get new Kingdom Event Coins at the 1st of each month but first he would have to supply the log from last month. This way you dont just get this rare item off one event but you have to earn it keeping the same items rare as they were. The reason for this is because each kingdom Emperor I talked to always says staff will not spawn the items to allow them to host it no matter what they say do or ask. This way we players of graal kingdom can have a chance in getting them for once.
(Side note that I know Sam is not the EMA anymore but I copied & pasted this from a speech back when I was applying for Emperor last time around and never released it haha)

New Kingdom Items

Well the title of this section pretty much says it all. I have quite a few ideas for this unless things have changed in plans since I have last played I remember them talking about creating real kingdom items and the old kingdom items would just but items with the kingdoms name on it. So if this is still true then I would like to create a theme not only in color but in stats. Before the stats were a bit random but I would like to give Samurai a theme in stats. For example what comes to mind is quick and damage so maybe something like STR/Dex and for the side stats Damage and Speed any how maybe that wont be the stats but you get the idea behind it. Making these items in terms of graphics will be pretty simple because I have a friend Gat which has been in Samurai for a bit longer then me willing to make them being a developer or not for GK. Also the idea above “Kingdom Event coins” I would try to do first because then I would like these items to be Kingdom Event shop only if the idea was ever made.

Next Page

Kingdom Battle System

One thing that I think that GK is really missing a system of battle where you raid and attack according to a system and that will display who won or not. This way battles will be more better because the winner will be clearly listed. If you go to Era you see the gangs have point system and on Maloria there was also a point system and I am not saying take the exact idea but the idea of just having a real system to battle with would make battles occur more often. There could be something on stake as well or a reward for the winners for example more kingdom event coins. Anyhow you get the point I am trying to get at. This idea is still in the works but you get what I am aiming at. This might require graphics and levels which I know people who can do them and scripts as well which shouldn’t be to hard.

Kingdom Dungeons

Well as you should know each Kingdom has a Dungeon and the only purpose it serves currently is to allow a way for a player to walk from the main island to any Kingdom. I am thinking about having custom monsters made for each kingdom for these dungeons so there would be more leveling spots. This project might be a bit harder and be for current developers on the GK team. The monsters would some how show the theme of the kingdom. For example Samurai dungeon monsters for example zombie Ninja and Samurai. Each monster would have similar attributes as another monster in one of the other kingdom dungeons but differ in drops.

Samurai Ferry

Currently the ferry from the main island to Samurai distance is much to long and not visitor friendly so I was thinking of making the distance shorter so that the ferry trips would be shorter and more frequent. Also this would encourage people to make their houses on Samurai island and possibly join the Kingdom. This would require either extending the island or moving it over or changing the location of the ferry and adding a new town. If the location of where the ferry would go changes then instead of moving all the houses out like I listed before I would just make a town there and have that town to be merchant town only. Pretty much where ever the boat stops is where the merchant housing will be.

Equipment and Level

I forgot to put this in before so I ended up making it, its own section since you did bring it up in your post. For my level well I have been planing on resetting my level so that is why I haven’t been leveling and the reason why my level is so low. I can easily get to 110 by the end of the summer while also working on all these tasks. Also for Gear well I think if I made Emperor I would be one of the few Emperors in Samurai history in the last three years with good equipment. (Remember I lost four houses and also got scammed over 900usd a total of 1.2k usd worth of items lost so I am not exactly “rich” anymore but my gear can’t get much better)

Conclusion

Now I had more ideas but some of them have already been done and I still do have more ideas but I don’t want to start on a 5th page even more so when you only asked for about two pages. So hopefully you don’t think less is more in this situation. Also I really hope you see how loyal I have been to the Kingdom. I am really tired of people that haven’t ever joined the kingdom before or haven’t been in the Kingdom for 1 month and gets the Kingdom. I don’t think that is how it should work at all and I think its unfair to the players who have been loyal to the their kingdom. Also thanks for listening to what I have to say and hearing me out. ~ HL

[Hatred89]

I am sorry for the double post but it wouldn't allow me to post it all in one post because of how long it was. I was planning to send it directly to you but after seeing how many people was posting their application I thought I would do the same.
(For all of the Kingdom Development Section it was made the last time I was applying for Samurai that I just never released in case a second chance came by)
Also for the whole next page thing well I typed it in MicroWordPro and used Next page to show that it continues also if some of my underlining isn't the same each time thats because it is late when I posted and its being lame and won't letting me fix it.

[Ravenblade1979]

Bosh you couldn't bring back that many people.

I do not recall making the comment that my plans would rely on the old people coming back and creating my 3rd age uber army. I built my old army from scratch, I can do it again with new people. If the old people wish to play again it is their choice, but I'm not depending on others to do the job of running the kingdom.

Relying on others to just return to the game was an old mistake I have learned to not repeat. Most of them will not come back unless something drastic happened, others are playing different games and will NEVER return. I'm not going to harass them to play a game they wont enjoy.

As Gk rebuilds itself, and the population grows, as we begin to get the word out again of our game and advertise of what is happening in the world of graal kingdoms, people will be interested and will check the game out. We will then recruit them, train them, and give them things to keep busy.

I've learned how to keep very bored people very busy with far less things than I have available to me on GK.

[Arch_Angel]

And you stole from the MMT with William.

Oh, I was told it was you that stole from the MMT. Not nice to pin the blame on others..

That's some nerve you have to say that after it's well known now that I didn't do anything and it was you and William.

[Ravenblade1979]

Actually Angel it was you and William Dibides who stole all the stuff from the back room of MMT. Stop lying.

We have had confrimation from a few people that it was you two.

Tigs completely innocent plain and simple.

[Obs311]

Get back to the topic..

[xAzerothx]

Nice application Hatred.

I'd gladly join Bosh's army! I'll follow him to the ends of Graal Kingdoms!

[lordbosh]

I PM'd the other pages of detailed development outlines because I cannot have those shared with the public. Enjoy your inbox spam.

[Chris500]

Quite a few people here have put forth very good applications in for Emperor, I know my opinion might not matter much here but whoever wins it will definitely benefit Samurai in a positive way. My vote however is for Hatred, because he's been in Samurai for as long as I can remember and in my opinion deserves it. All of the kingdom's can do with some more work on them to bring some life back into GK, here's a step toward it!

Why play when theres nothing I can do to be of any use? What do you do all day for Graal Kingdoms that makes you a suitable leader over anyone else?

Give me a reason to play, and I will. I'm not going to play the game and just watch it fail, over and over and over. But if I see a possible chance to fix that, I'll try my best to do something.

If you're only attack is that I don't play, maybe you should check how many hours I have played this game already. It's a wonder I didn't get burned out from idling in a trade house earlier.

[kia345]

An opening in any position with a tag, that seems to be your latest excuse.

My problem with you is that, these days, you're unheard of on Gk. You don't show up to play, because, there's nothing to 'play'. Then a Kingdom needs a leader. Or Gk needs staff. Or hell, MMT needs an owner. And you suddenly come from out of blue with your "genius" ideas, which I don't doubt you can do. But if you're not getting rewarded, improved by having a title with some authority, Gk's not worth your time.

How about being in the Kingdom to start off with that you are wanting to help. I mean really none of you have even been in Samurai in the last year or possibly two years and if you have it wasn't for long.

[kia345]

Neither has Darklux

Then whats the big problem? Each of these jobs requires a team, and can possibly help contribute to reviving GK. Why else would I fight for them? If there is anyone worth sharing power with, I would do that as well. But so far, the only person out there that seems to be willing to work with me without worrying about their own power is John.

I don't even know you, and don't know why you would go out of your way to make yourself look foolish just to attack me on the forums now. I heard you were the leader of Zormite, so wouldn't you want to see a rival kingdom raise up to challenge you? I would think that would motivate people to play more, be active, raise your kingdom's morale. You should welcome such challenges.

I was the Emperor of Samurai, then had some issues come up and I passed it on. I was, before that, the Shogun of Samurai under Nayoko and helped get a few things uploaded. Not to mention that whenever I do have a kingdom I am able to unify an entire spectrum of players, not just the big pk people, but even the new people.

There were three people in Samurai's history that got anything done.

Nayoko - Recruited new people and helped build one of the largest armies in GK history. Released the Samurai Boots of Haste during her reign as well.

Rahz Zalinto - Conquered most of GK, but was eventually defeated by Astri at Dustari (correct me if I'm wrong). He reigned through one of the most prosperous golden ages Samurai had ever seen.

Me - Brought in Snakeandy (xAndrewx) to GFX the KJ shield, and then worked to have it released during Nayoko's reign. During my reign we rebuilt the Embassy, which had been planned for use in making treaties and bringing some point to warfare back to the game. The only reason this did not follow through was because I needed to step down for RL reasons, and passed it on to someone else. I do not hold power if I cannot fulfill the duties expectations and demands.

---

I've played this game for ages, and whenever I come back the population raises a great deal. It is because not only do I know what I'm doing, but I put the regular person in a place to where they can effect everything around them as well.

If we had just 10 people active in each kingdom, we would have at least 50 players. How many kingdoms have 10 active players that get on tag a day? Does this not bother you?

Okay updates.

Right now in the Race are John, Bosh, Hatred and Angel, though I first have to check about the MMT happenings, as someone who robs MMT and therefore possibly making the owner quit an important rp location, can't say that he would promote rp on the other hand.

Fenix did quit due to William and Angel stealing from MMT.

Also Pojo is right Bosh. Your not around unless a leadership position is open. Why not just play for a while then take over one. Not just walk in and expect to take it over. If your this absent without the need to have a leadership role it makes me think that when you do have one you will be just as absent.

So the worst case scenario you can come up with is that I will end up being as inactive as the rest of the kingdom leaders...

When I was king before, and needed to go inactive, I passed it on. I always do.

Zormite was pretty inactive when you had it, kind sir.

But... If this was a "choose" type scenario I'd probably choose you or John anyways. >.>
