--[What makes a weapon magic?] (see MJS's submission of same name)

Also, if anyone has other ideas, we can still throw more choices into the poll! Ideally, this poll should marinate for a week or two anyway.

I'm quite torn between music/song and youtube inspired. What might those two categories entail?

For the first: Obviously composition is out of the question, but perhaps choose a song and use that as a basis for your submission? Or perhaps everyone must use the same song? Or the submission must incorporate music or a song in some central way.

For the second: Just do a random video theme, or focused along certain ideas/lines?

I am for picking a song ad making a sub to fit it.

So, is the "Mongols!" idea basically a challenge to create a horde of nomadic warriors?

I feel like going academic on your collective arses:

The Mongol Inspired Quest:
Anything pertaining to those centuries of world history in which the Mongols were the undisputed masters of the world. Whether it be horse clans that inspire, the siege of Kiev or Baghdad, Khans or even weapons. Whatever as long as the sub is inspired by Mongols... Which could result in anything really.

I'll have to play the Mongols campaign on Age of Empires II and should be primed then to write something solid.

Come on, Burning Man. It's like a bunchload of post-modern gypsies converging on a piece of wilderness, and then having everyone else come too to take advantage of...

Don't much care myself - the visuals are awesome.

Michael Jotne Slayer · « **Reply #8 on:** November 06, 2007, 11:06:22 AM »

I have started to write a Mongol inspired post, inspired by the quest idea... So I'm kinda hoping for the Mongol to become a quest.

Ancient Gamer · « **Reply #9 on:** November 06, 2007, 12:27:28 PM »

As long as people care about the quest, I am fine with whatever.

Scrasamax · « **Reply #10 on:** November 07, 2007, 04:07:19 AM »

I'm fine with whatever we pick

Michael Jotne Slayer · « **Reply #11 on:** November 07, 2007, 10:00:07 AM »

I suddenly remembered that it's probably then thousand million years since I have written anything in the forums.

"Come on people, vote!"

How about "What makes a Mongol weapon magic using inspiration from Burning Man"

valadaar · « **Reply #13 on:** November 07, 2007, 06:32:04 PM »

Set to music found on Youtube?

Scrasamax · « **Reply #14 on:** November 08, 2007, 03:57:32 AM »

Sure.

Why not.

Strolen · « **Reply #15 on:** November 12, 2007, 10:55:06 AM »

Votes are tight now.

Murometz · « **Reply #16 on:** November 12, 2007, 03:12:55 PM »

erm, can we extend the poll?

Strolen · « **Reply #17 on:** November 12, 2007, 04:06:21 PM »

Extended 7 days...don't have to use that whole time but there it is.

Chaosmark · « **Reply #18 on:** November 13, 2007, 02:41:49 PM »

Nooooooo!!! Teh votzors has changededed!

Murometz · « **Reply #19 on:** November 15, 2007, 12:17:53 PM »

Hmmm, 14 votes is a decent tally, folks. Seems like 'Magic Weapon" is in the lead. What do we want to do here? I want to make sure the majority is on board with whatever theme we choose.

Should we just go with "What makes a weapon Magic" at this point? Add other choices? start over?

Again, just want to make sure, everyone (or close to it) is happy, or at least accepting of the highest-voted Quest option.

feedback?

Ria Hawk · « **Reply #20 on:** November 16, 2007, 03:10:46 AM »

Well, the poll's set to run a few more days. I'm good with whatever the majority is.

Scrasamax · « **Reply #21 on:** November 16, 2007, 03:34:53 AM »

I'm not sure I understand the topic: What makes a weapon magic?

Are we referring to the process by which the weapon in question becomes magical?

Because for some reason I keep getting the same default answer, magic makes a weapon magical.

meph.

Murometz · « **Reply #22 on:** November 16, 2007, 09:15:11 AM »

I had similar thoughts, Scras

Perhaps, MJS' sub may help (of the same name). Or, perhaps MJS can say a few words about it, since it was his suggestion.

valadaar · « **Reply #23 on:** November 16, 2007, 09:48:42 AM »

Well, after rereading the Sub, I've already got an idea for mine.

It is more how the weapon has acquired its magic. Better then 'Booga Booga! POOF ... Magic Sword...'

Michael Jotne Slayer · « **Reply #24 on:** November 19, 2007, 05:14:35 AM »

Here is the link Scras-

Well, we don't have to go for this one. Mongols or any other is perfectly fine by me. It's basicly categories of requirements for making a magic weapons submission. When I made it, the intention was to challenge Strolenites to make magic weapons based on those guidelines, it never caught on so I thought that it might not be the worst of quests.
