Once upon a time, close following the dawn of magic in the lands of Kiwike, the users of magic and those who called themselves magicians and wizards were scattered. The demonstration of magic was dangerous and uncontrolled being bent to the will of many for selfish, harmful uses.

One day, three unlikely companions met and decided to finally put an end to the disarray. The three were very gifted, more so than many who were learned in magic. One was a great alchemist, one of the first to truly discover and learn the trade; another was a powerful enchanter, experienced enough to bind even the strongest of spells; but last there was a tremendous wizard, a warlock who's physical abilities (though nearly unstoppable) were not his gift. This final wizard's gift was of his past; he was the rightful heir to the ancient kingdom of Azure, the controllers of the Lapis church (a deep magical brethren before even magic itself).

These three together held to unite magic towards common good. They founded The Mage's Guild. This society, this stronghold of magicians, was lead by the third man who became known from then on in as the High Mage. The alchemist and the enchanter respectively became the first Archmages of the guild and led their own branch in the trade of their individual expertise.

The three lead mages trained, and guided magic users young and old. By expanding their forces and recruiting more mages to their cause, the guild flourished.

Eventually two more branches appeared within the guild alongside Alchemy and Enchantment; Engineering, and the Mage Guard. The Engineers built unique contraptions and clever devices using their greater intellect and magical touch, while the Mage Guards were responsible for the defense and enforcement of the guild's rule.

THE HIERARCHY

After significant time had passed, the numbers of the guild rose so steadily that all of the new recruits could not be sufficiently trained. As well, raising tensions of seniority and dominance rose among the mages. In order to combat these problems, the Archmage of Alchemy and the High Mage instituted a new hierarchy; a ranking system to help organize and revolutionize the definition of a mage.

It was decided that once a new recruit had shown interest in joining the guild, they were made pages: helpful hands around the guild. They were given the temporary task of running errands and performing small services to members of the guild. Once they had decided which branch of the guild they would enter, they would have a master mage take them as an apprentice.

After being trained to the highest possible extent, a Master mage can request his apprentice be promoted. Once the designated Archmage obliges, the apprentice is officially deemed a mage, yet a Novice mage only.

The Novice mage is then given freedom to oversee the expansion of his own knowledge, and once either a task is met, or a test is passed (both from their branch’s respective Archmage) they may be promoted to an Adept mage.

To be given the rank of a Master mage is a privilege only earned by outstanding feats and the agreement of both the High Mage and the Archmage.

Page -> Apprentice -> Novice Mage (Alchemist, Enchanter, Engineer, Guard)
Novice (Class) Mage -> Adept (Class) Mage -> Master (Class) Mage -> Archmage (successor chosen by former head of branch) -> Veteran Mage (retired Archmage)

To this day The Mage Guild welcomes all with a magical flare in their heart to join, and be learned and trained for the betterment of the land.

Currently, the High Mage of the Guild is bowser956.
The currently held Archmage positions are as follows,

A guildhouse is to be built in Halren if a sufficient number of members join. Shops for gardening supplies (flowers, dead bushes at discount prices, cactus, seeds and more stuff) would be made available.

A guild garden would be built for the purpose of demonstrating our exterior design expertise. Melon and cake parties will be the norm for guild activities, as well as picnics, socials, and camping trips.

All members will be peaceful, or at very least neutral towards other members directly, and respect everybody. This is a classy guild. No flaming.

Garden contests will be held, and the winners will be decided in a public poll. Trophies and prizes will be awarded to the winners and runners up. All contest participants must pay an entrance fee to help fund the prizes (one garden per entrance fee). ANYBODY - yes anybody may choose to enter - not just guild members. All entry gardens must be accessible/viewable by the public.

Please consider joining, there's nothing to lose and flowers and cake to gain. ]]>

As of now, we have 7 determined ship classes, from smallest to largest:

Engineer: Small, versatile air balloon, made for speed more than anything else, though may be customizable with weapons.



Scout: Small airships with minimum firepower. Used mainly for transport/travel.



Blimp: As the name implies. Used mainly for transport/travel but have bigger rooms (in the balloon) than the scout or engineer. ((Deco courtesy of Ivanbebe16))



Viking: Made after the viking longboat. Though vikings have no need for ship weapons, dispensers and such can be custom fitted into the Viking.



Dreadnaught: Similar to the Nightmare class. A perfect balance between speed and power, with cabins for both sleeping quarters/storage.



Nightmare: Larger than the Dreadnaught, mainly act as large transports but can also be fitted with enough firepower to pack a punch. Also have cabins for sleeping quarters/storage.



Noctis: Largest airship available. Contain bigger/more cabins than the Nightmare and Dreadnaught. Mainly used as leisure/storage as they are too slow for combat. ((class name courtesy of Spam, the Eve Online "addict"))

Then gas was discovered in the world of Kiwike. This lighter than air gas permitted the creation of airships, to aid man's dream. Flying. The residents of Nova, equally excited about airships as anyone else was, created a few models, some fast, some gigantic, simply for the purpose of enjoyment. NLewis and I decided of what better way to celebrate than to visit close towns, the closest being Azure. This was rather convenient due to the speed of the airships, so we constructed one, and took off. Two people, one diamond sword, placed carefully in an inaccessible pocket. Remember that.

Approaching Azure, we witnessed residents toiling over work, building houses, doing chores. We asked the town assistant, Riskae, for permission to enter Azure airspace, and to land. After his approval, we decided upon a location to dock our ship, with Riskae building a short dock to accomodate us. Stepping off onto Azure soil however, we were both killed, our blood in the hands of Riskae.

This was absurd! Nova, the new, peaceful town, killed by a friendly nation?! A pathetic excuse, that this was an armed attack. Remember, two people, one sword, placed in an inaccessible pocket.

Thus led to a series of attacks, and counter attacks, to retrieve what was ours, all the while, the King, Bowser, claiming we were at peace. The evening brought calm with it, and a false sense of security. For drifting through the clouds, we saw an airship, bearing the markings of Azure, the friendly nation who was committing murder against a peaceful town.

News of this attack spread across Kiwike. Spreading like wildfire, the tensions in the west grew support on both sides of the argument. Some siding for friendship, some for truth.

And now Kiwike, to those who have not heard of this account, I ask you. Who do you believe has the right-of-way in this conflict. Due to the rising tensions, we cannot deny a threat of war, one not wanted by either side, yet possibly necessary in its own right. And on the off-chance that a spark of war ignites, which side would you be willing to defend. You can trust me, your confidentiality in the vote will be guaranteed.

Thank You.]]>

As the Co-Emperor and Liaison for Cornerstone Empire, we Officially declare war with Helvanthar and Tullius.

We have had no other choice but to retaliate against these great nations due to many factors.

We were attacked many time by the Helvans, and we have decided there is no other option.

Then we were attacked by Members of the Tullius nation, and their men were sent by the leader.

It is now full on war. We will raid and raid and raid until we drop dead!

THIS IS CORNERSTONE!

Why role-play?

Well, Minecraft is a REALLY unique game in which nearly anything within the limits of reason is possible. We roleplayers take advantage of this rare opportunity and imagine, even if for just a few minutes, that the game world is real. Actors, writers, and avid readers will have an easy time with this, but less literature-inclined folks will likely have to get used to the prospect of being someone else. There are 3 easy steps to take before roleplaying:

1. Create your character (optional, but recommended)

Don't worry, this isn't Dungeons & Dragons. All you need to do here is come up with a name and vague background and you're good to go. It's very likely that your character will become much more fleshed out the more you play as them.

2. Look both ways before you cross the street.

Before roleplaying, you need to:

a) Set your chat channel to local.
b) Make sure everyone around you knows you're roleplaying so you don't look like an idiot.

3. Roleplay!

Just act as you think your character would normally act. Go on epic quests, and even make up stories as you go along for both awesome results and a great practice in improvisation. Think Shadow of Israphel, but completely impromptu. Cool, right?

Well, that's my shpiel. Remember that you only have to roleplay when you feel like it; it can be as easygoing or hardcore as you like. It's a lot of fun, and Kiwike is a perfect environment to do it in.]]>

(Oh, and I didn't post this in the Guides section of the forums, as I don't think I'm supposed to withought permission...)

I've noticed that a surprising ammount of people on this roleplaying server, when asked if they enjoy roleplaying (or even know how to do it), don't like/don't know how to roleplay! Therefore, I have taken it upon myself to rant a bit about the summery and what-to-do/not-do's. Hopefully this will encrourage the regulars of kiwike to roleplay.

General Roleplay

Disclaimer
I would first like to point out that, even though I am doing this, I am not, in any way attempting to ruin roleplay, get recruits for Cerantia (By the way, look at my sig!), or start a flame war reguarding what is and isn't roleplay. Everyone roleplays differently, and you may or may not like or agree with what I post.

Identifying Roleplay
Firstly, I will answere the unasked question: What is roleplay? In a simple explenation, it is playing a role. 'Duh, I know that; That's why its called roleplay!', you might be saying. But the obvious always needs to be stated before we can delve into what it truly is.
Roleplaying is anything and everything you do within the game. From cutting a tree to punching a pig (or vice versa), you roleplay, however passively. Every single player of minecraft roleplays at this basic level.
Roleplay is the life your character lives, with no real connection ot your life (except when your character is based off of yourself). The words you speak, the actions, choices, weapon of preference, your living space and creations, everything you could possibly do in Kiwike is considered roleplaying.

What not to do as a roleplayer
There are a few things you should not do as a roleplayer. For example, you could roleplay as a bow-wielding allien berserker with a house in the shape of a pig, but no-one will take you seriously, and may charge you with not roleplaying. This is because this is, from what I understand, a server based on light fantasy midevil roleplay. So, therefore, you could also not roleplay as an evil paladin who wears nothing, lives in a dirt hovel, and fights with a hoe, as it is simply not in the genre of roleplaying that this server practices.
You also can't use roleplay for an excuse to break rules. Even though you might be 'evil', you can't kill and grief everyone you see, as that is against server rules. If you are a 'demolition expert', you can't go around randomly blowing up houses.
You also must remember that your life and the life of your character are not the same. They know nothing of black ops, or of last night's foorball scores, or how Susie is doing in her relationship with Carl. Therefore, you must always keep in mind that you would not be talking about such things. If you truly need to talk about them, however, I would suggest reading into my 'Proper usage of OoC' section.

Proper usage of OoC
OoC, or Out of Character, chat, may come in to your roleplay occasionally. For example, it may provide a prompt such as after you have dropped a piece of paper, you may say "OoC: Read it!" or something allong those lines. Also, OoC may be used to explain something that has no connection whatsoever to do with the game, such as last night's football scores and whatnot. Proper OoC comments should be started with (( or OoC. Example: "((Hey, do you know what last night's scores were?" or "OoC: You should come to my house, dude.". OoC is commonly said over world chat.

Establishing a Character

Your Character and Roleplaying
Now that we've cleared up exactly what roleplaying is, and what you shouldn't do as a roleplayer, we can move on to the next important question. Who, exactly, are you roleplaying? Are you a huntsman protecting your forests and living in seclusion? Maybe you are a man withought a family, moving from city to city, living off of whatever you can find? The personality, background, and goal of your character must be established if you are to have a successfull roleplay.

Your Character's Background
For a character's background, anything (within the acceptable peramitters of light fantasy/realistic midevil roleplay that this server practices) can happen. You could be a settler from a far off kingdom set to establish a new civilization, or a noble from its ruling family. You could be a native of kiwike, living your daily life. If you can't think of something original or use the above steriotypes, you could simply be someone who woke up knowing nothing of themselves.

Your Character's Personality
A personality, in my honest ipinion, cannot e written. However, you can still establish one successfully. Aks youreslf, what makes my character mad? Happy? Sad? You should always stick with a personality, otherwise you might not know how to respond to a situation as your character would. Eventually, as your roleplay goes on, your character's personality will evolve to a point that it is not comparible to what it started out as, or to your personality.

Your Character's Goal
Every character must have a goal. Otherwise, they would have no purpose to exist. People have such simple goals as living through the night, and such complex goals as becoming the founder and ruler of their own kingdom. They don't simply quit when they achieve this goal; they expand it and guard it untill the day they no longer can. Therefore, always have this goal in mind when you roleplay, lest you become one withought a goal and roam from biome to biome.

So ends my introduction into the basics of roleplaying, as I have come to know it. I would ask that Kubrickb and other renowned roleplayers please comment and suggest as to how I can expand the above and the below paragraphs, as I would like to incorporate all forms of roleplay into this rant/guide. If you would like to know more than the basics and are for some reason not bored of my typing yet, read on!

General Types of Roleplaying

Quest-Giving Roleplay
This type of roleplay involves you being the quest-giver. This could be anything from asking someone to clear the mobs out from under your house, to gathering receources for a project, or anything you wish. Some roleplayers who do this help and/or accompany the quest-taker. Usually, quest-givers reward their heros with something, other times they give them simply for the thrill of adventure.

Quest-taking Roleplay
This type of roleplay involves you being the quest-taker from a guest-giver. This quest could be anything! Traditionally, quest-takers recieve a reward at the end of a quest, but sometimes they do quests simply for the thrill of things.

Daily Roleplay
This roleplay is fairly simple. Almost every roleplayer does this at first. Roleplayers who practice this roleplay simply act out their daily lives. Oftentimes, however, going too far with daily roleplay can get annoying, such as saying every single specific thing you do, so don't go overboard!

Now, remember that there are other types of roleplay; don't just stick to the kinds that I have listed here![/size]

Types of Quests

Retrieval Quests
This type of quest is fairly simple. This quest invlovles asking a quest-taker to go and retrieve an item, and regurn it to the quest-giver. Rewards are typically another item of equal or greater value.

Escort Quests
This type of quest is also fairly simple. It involves the quest-taker escorting the quest-giver to a location, or escorting some other player (or NPC if they are included in 2.0) to the quest-giver. Rewards are proportional to the travel length, usually.

Storyline Quests
These quests range from the simple to the complex. They usually involve multiple interactions with other characters and mental quandries, trying to figure out a story. Sometimes there is no reward save for the quest, sometimes there is. It is rather hard to pinpoint how these quests should go.

Remember that there is no set type of quest! You could make up your own type!

Misc

Classes and Proffessions
Although a proper roleplay is performed with classes and proffessions, it is not required, which is why I have added this on to the expanded guide to roleplay section rather than the basics. Classes and proffessions, in my honest opinion, hinder the ability of most characters. However, I will expand on them reguardless.
Classes are what your character is in terms of combat and what equipment he uses. If he's an archer, he's going to use a bow and most likely have leather and/or iron equipment. If he's a paladin, he's most likely going to use a sword and wear iron and/or diamond armor. If he's a rogue, he's most likely going to have a bow and a week sword, and sneak around a lot, and probobly have leather or no armor. Those three classes are the basic classes of a roleplay, with the exeption of mages, as they are not supported by Minecraft.
Professions are what your character does as a job. Such jobs are things such as explorer, miner, farmer, etc., but really you could have any job that you could think of. However, having one set proffession often hinders your ability to go into other sections of gathering receources/making money in Minecraft, i.e. if your a farmer you don't mine, if your a miner you don't fish, etc. Reguardless, many good roleplayers use proffessions to expand their roleplay, and it often leads to a good experience in the end.

Adult Themed Roleplay
I will not expand on this, as it is, in my honest opinion, a disgracefull way to roleplay and something that puts the rest of us roleplayers to shame. If someone wants to expand on this, do so at their own peril, for I will find you and gut you like a pig in the darkest of nights. Don't roleplay in any way that may look like it is adult themed; you don't know how old the rest of those around you are, and you may not know the roleplaying rules of the server. I highly advies that yotta makes rules prohibiting this type of roleplay!

I will expand on more subjects reguarding roleplay at a later date. Please, inform me of any suggestions that you may have!
