From BFU
[OOC: TarnishedKnight, you are way ahead of the fight. I already have your actions done up for the next round and slashing a dead body a second time doesn't get you any extra points. icon_biggrin.gif ]
What do you mean mutilating the corpses doesn't get extra points, it might be a vampire or, or a zombie, yeah, that's it, a zombie werewolf.
Oops, my goof, I'll delete the post.

So, gallen_of_chaos, when you say "Wiccan", do you really mean the Wiccan religion, or do you mean it as a synonym for pagan? I'm just asking because a Wiccan probably wouldn't pray to hades since he's a Greek god, not a Wiccan god. On the other hand, if you meant pagan, then that could refer to a bunch of different religions, such as the religion of the ancient Greeks, which covers hades worship. I'm just trying to get a better picture of what religion your character is part of, you know.

Many Wiccans take dieties from different religions to be their Matron/Patron Goddess/God. They research different culture's religions and pick the ones that suit them the best.
EDIT: Correction on the Dianics: they only observe the Goddess, no God. They don't prefer any specific Goddess.
Also, gallen_of_chaos: the WTA Storyteller will be doing our rolling for us. :3

NightshadeTea Many Wiccans take dieties from different religions to be their Matron/Patron Goddess/God. They research different culture's religions and pick the ones that suit them the best. For example, a fairly popular sect of Wiccan are the Dianics. If I remember correctly, they celebrate Diana, Goddess of the Hunt. However, isn't Diana of the Greek pantheon? Or something. I don't read up on the other types a lot. Ah, I didn't know that. Most of what I know about Wicca comes from one of my friends who is Wiccan, but, like you just showed, they didn't tell me everything about it, so I don't know everything about it.

S/he probably doesn't pick and choose. I don't. The Goddess is 'Mother' or 'Goddess' and the God is 'Father' or 'God'. Sometimes I'll use 'Anu' and 'Cerunnos', but that's because 1) the names sound pretty and 2) I'm a stuffy Traditionalist. XD
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'm a bit more open about sharing my philosphies and a rite/prayer or two, but I won't give names or locations or anything too personal. :3
Many Wiccans, especially the wiser and calmer ones, will not tell you everything (some of them will tell you nothing! But I have a few things to say about them), whether you're Wiccan or not.
Keep in mind, though, that Wicca is very diverse. Many people believe different things, and you will get different answers depending on who you ask.

Because we burned through about 140 dice for that single combat turn I am thinking that I may need to make the rolls outside of Gaia. I hadn't realized that running the rolls through Gaia would be so time consuming and would need individual post for each set of 20. Because we are looking at facing larger battles and more complex rolls, the number of dice posts that will be needed per fight will only increase. As much as I want to roll dice through Gaia, it adds extra posts to the guild that aren't needed. I will still post what the rolls are, but this will cut down on the post count increase.
So now I should probably explain myself on wanting to keep the post count down. I'm not sure about everyone else, but when I look for an RPing guild I avoid ones that have huge post counts or large member counts. Large member counts can minimize the significance of characters, usually leaving only a few characters that are truly important. On the other hand, large post counts tell me that it is an active successful guild that has been going for a while, thus having a large amount of experience, but it also means that they are (hopefully) deep into a storyline. From my point of view, introducing characters at later points in a story can compromise the storyline itself.

So I'm guessing that, even though I am not in battle, I'm still only allowed one post until after the next storyteller post?

Nope you are out of combat so you can post when you want to.

Yeah I had included you in the combat lign up because you were in the area. Since you weren't attacking you are concidered out of combat. And becides the combat is over from just the posts that have been made so far.

Aight, let's hope my computer won't crash this time...
NightshadeTea - Thanks for the clarifications about Wicca and stuff.
BFU - I don't see any problem with you doing the storyteller rolls outside of gaia if that makes it easier for you and keeps the post count down.
