mrgreen Wagon Ordering OOC Convo/Decisions mrgreen


Welcome to the wagon ordering discussion. We're going to try something a bit different now that you're all so good at this- it's almost completely in your hands. Here is where we all, out-of-character'ly, will discuss and try to come up with the best balance for the wagon. If you DO have questions, you can ask them here, and I WILL answer. However, it's mostly up to you.

Then, the IC wagon ordering ceremony will mostly be celebration and gifties and a surprise or two. ^_^ Also, it will give us the chance to properly feast and introduce our new characters.
Quote:

::Refresher::

Remember, the element of your wagon is your Fortunette's(s') element(s), unless you have none, and then it's YOURS. And of course, meij elements are different than real-world elements. Obviously there's no 'music' or 'delusion' elements in our world. But in this world, an element is simply an expression to explain how the meij contacts that person. Some people can be reached and connected to the meij through the earth, others, fire magic, others... music. Etc., etc. Thus, why it's possible for there to be such strange things. ^_^

In a wagon, if you press elements that don't interact well together, disaster happens. If there is a fire wagon directly next to a water wagon, the meij can get very turned around- and attempt to contact/communicate with a fire fortunette with water expressions, and that's dangerous to them. It may also try to 'fix' an unbalanced wagon: thus, bringing such a dark element into a previously light wagon, so as to rebalance a wagon set apart by the combination of Illusion+Delusion.

Fires should not be near to Woods, or Waters, lest they consume or be consumed, for example. Others... have either been discussed before, or you can figure them out. ^_~ Also, be aware that some wagons are already unbalanced- and you must try to support them from either side with wagons that will try and aid that unbalanced family.

You are highly encouraged to move everyone around- EXCEPT Val. She must be at the head of the wagontrain. Balance as necessary. ^^


::Current Wagon Order::

Right now, the balance of strongest power lies from Clair d' Lune to A Light in the Dark.

Wagon Order::

1.WhistleStick- Fire
2. Blessed Change- Earth
3. Spotted Sage
4. Daggerheld- Earth
5. PhoenixSong- Fire
6. Narkri Chooma- Earth
7. Varekai- Air/Earth
8. Mountain Air- Earth
9. Clair d' Lune- Air/Darkness
10. Rusting Canvas- Earth
11. Weathered Melody- Air/Illusion
12. Ravenwood- Delusion
13. The Singing Bird- Wood
14. The Mudrunner- Earth
15. Wind Wheels - Fire
16. Leatherbound & Ivy-Twined- Sound
17. A Light in the Dark- Light
18. Daityrvyn- Wood
19. Forest Spirit- Wood
20. Rhythmique- Water


::Who needs to be added::

+Tamlin+Baptiste are sharing a wagon (wagon name= ?)
+Where's Jal staying?/who with/what's his element?
+Noem Wetherhart's wagon (element=ice) name=?
+Taniel's wagon (name=Honeyed Aria), (element=ice+air)
+Solas (water) needs to be added to Mountain Air
+Saviour Magic needs to be added to Ravenwood
+The Wolf Mask (earth) needs to be added to Wind Wheels
+Dahlia (air) added to PhoenixSong
+Spotted Sage has a (spirit) element
+Does Kyrianna have a wagon? If so, it needs to be added with Stefan.
+Kala (shadow? x3) needs to be added to A Light in the Dark.
+Mudrunner needs to be removed, and Eerie's element (earth) added... to Ravenwood. ^___^

::For Reference's Sake::

In case anyone wanted to see what was said in a previous wagon ordering ceremony, or even if... say... a wagon was placed somewhere for a particularly important reason. ^_~

Oooh, well.

Fire + Air = disaster or balance, depending on how you look at it. Either strength vs. weakness...or fire vs. fuel. >_>

And, someone tell me how we're going to successfully fit a light + dark wagon seamlessly into the order? XD

We have two ice wagons now.... perhaps they'll be best by earth? It's the only place I can think of them being not bad. xd Frost is eh, but it's better than melting by fire or snow and hail by air.

Maybe light and dark can just go right at the back?

Maybe each Fire needs to have Earth near it, Edits wagon has both Fire and Earth...

Keep illusion and delusion together?

Well. Things that can absolutely NOT be by PhoenixSong:

The Singing Bird
Daityrvyn
Forest Spirit
Rhythmique
The two ice wagons

Also, with the addition of Solas, it's not safe to put Caroline near us.

XD I think better with a list. Maybe one of us should make a color-coded list like the current wagon ordering, of all the new elements added in (that we know of) and combo it up?

We have a lot more fire than we used to. X3 *shakes fist* Damn joo, deefeecult firecritters! But... lots of earth to ground, too.

True. But, Fire by Fire just doesn't sound that safe to me. XD

And I was thinking that too, Remove, about your wagon being at the back. Then again, they may need an Earth element at one of their flanks to keep safe?

I'll make a list. =D

Illusion and Delusion will feed off of each other - not safe for those around them if they're next to each other. I'd say have one in each half of the wagon train.

Now, this could be just me reading into Oq a little too much (scary Oq XD) but... wasn't (IC, at least) dark added to the light wagon to make dark+light- as a counterbalance to the Illusion/Delusion combo? So... will moving Illusion away from Delusion cause that to work just the opposite?

Or- maybe it's just that moving Illu/Delu apart will free up that possible tangle/danger- and then just focus it on Light in the Dark. After all, I think Kala's addition was more of a stopgap fix than a real "whee, we are balanced."

I dont know, I mean the power in Heathers caravan is balanced Light and dark kinda thing

I would say not putting Fire near Heathers caravan, or air... They might not help.

Yaaay, Missa list! 4laugh That'll jumpstart my brain.

heart for Missa for making that list!

Maybe Light in the Dark needs to be in the middle of the line up? It's balanced, maybe the middle will help keep it that way - and maybe help the rest of the wagons too.
