So, MU-fans, which specialization paths do you think the clan should take?

I'm partial to Defense/Items or Defense/Spells, but then I do very little PvP. What do y'all want?

And if there's a big split between two sides on this, should we consider making two sister clans*, or just go with the side that's slightly more numerous, or will it just be up to whoever can snag the name first on clan creation day?


*No, not clans for everyone who wants to be Two's sister. Sorry.

I think splitting up would be a mistake. I also think taking defense as our primary might be a mistake. We have a lot of unity, us MU folk, and unity is a big advantage in the PvP arena. :) I like the looks of Items or Alchemy as our primary.

So I just read the specialization stuff, and there are a lot of interesting options.

Spells would probably be my favorite if they were going to be released relatively soon, but no go on that.

Ranged weapons - I have a feeling these are going to be pretty powerful, exspecially putting them on a fast golem that can 'hang back'

Melee weapons - Hmm.. nah.

Alchemy - This seems like a really odd specialization. The benefit seems that you can make a bone golem with iron hitpoints. Doesn't sound that great to me.

Spells - Who knows, sounds cool though

Items - Probably the other one that sounds best for RP reasons, after all, it's definitely what Mackenzie would pick.

Defensive - I'd like people to chime in on PvP. I do quite a bit, myself, naturally, as I'm currently on top of the "Good" list. I could see doing two clans, one that is PvP oriented, one that is not, for people who feel very strongly against PvP.

Oh, and as far as the other settings -

I'm going to do invite only at first, and invite people who are interested here, to make sure the people who have expressed interest here get the initial slots.

After that, I will require no good/evil restrictions, no golem knowledge restriction, but I am do a level 3 minimum (just so we get people who can contribute, and aren't going to be too much dead weight)

Contributions : I don't want to be a badger about these sorts of things, but I know a lot of drama can result if people feel like others are freeloading, and drama is the big killer of a guild. Hopefully there will be a way to monitor contributions, and we'll find an acceptable range. Definitely people who are higher level should be contributing more, as they'll also get more use out of clan items.

The most important thing to me is that the clan is low key and people are happy about being part of it. So, please, fire away with suggestions, I want to see what you guys think about this.

He specifically said 'this does not change the hitpoints of a golem'. :P
These specialties are going to be balanced with each other, I assume, so I favor alchemy simply because they don't get any big obvious bonuses, which means they must get lots of little subtle bonuses! :D
Items seems like they're going to get a bag of tricks too, but Alchemy seems like it's going to be weird bonuses... perhaps good economic incentives.

I'm very partial to Spells, but I can see how that would delay us too much. I'd at least like to see it as a secondary. I wouldn't mind Defense or Items as another path.

I haven't decided on PVP yet. I like having the option. I kind of think a large, unified clan will be one of the best defenses, so we'll have to see how that pans out.

Alchemy changes the resistances of the parts (or so it says). So, you could have a golem with the same hit points as a bone, but it resists damage like an iron.

Well, I definitely hope we get more info before making a decision. I wonder if we'd be able to make secondary resources with alchemy, that might be worth it.

Btw, I'm going to put all all the 'interested' members at the top message, let me know if you're someone who hasn't posted and is interested, or if you're no longer interested.

I'm definitely interested in a ToMU clan--hope I'm not too late. As far as clan paths, I think ranged/defense would be great, or maybe spells/alchemy (seem like they could compliment one another)--I think we need to pick at least one weapon category (spells, melee, ranged) so that we've got some fighting power. Either way, I'm definitely in if there's room!

Okay, well if I'm going to build us a forums and possibly a website, I need to know a few things:

I need to know the name of the clan as this will play into the site address and a few other parts.
Personally, I like Hearts of Clay or Mag.U.

Ideas on the 6 character acronym: TOMagU, ToMU, HoClay, MagUNI, BLAISE (Mackenzie's Last Name!.
It's too bad that we can't use symbols in the acronym... I'd love to have us as <3CLAY.

One more suggestion, somebody should contact AE! Get her on Muelsfell, and have her join our guild. Maybe she'd even let us use that nifty little three headed dragon (MU's crest) as our clan's symbol. ^__^ Not to mention I think she'd find a clan based on her work to be extremely flattering. Maybe she'll write us bonus chapters?

I'd guess that in Sterling's mind, our "We better be able to see you before we can smell you" recruitment policy implies that our parties can't be all that spectacular.

I suggest people who've state an interest in the clan refrain from attacking each other. Once the clan starts, PvP between members will be banned unless there is explicit consent between both parties.

This is a zero-tolerance policy. If I get forwarded an attack report by a clan member on another clan member, I will kick out the aggressor. The same will go for members of clan allies, though in that case, it seems like someone can reasonably make a mistake, and it will be ok if restitution is made and apologies are accepted.

Now, we don't have a clan yet, and people haven't explicitly joined, so I'm not going to enforce anything like that now. All the same, I think it's a good idea if you all act like adults between each other now, as that's one of the key requirements for clan members.

I'd like to throw in my lot with the MU crowd as well. I do have a question though. Is alignment going to be a factor for this clan? Namely, would we potentially get involved in light vs. dark? I think at the very least, a mutual defense aggreement would be more effective then simply going with defense as the primary. If it is made known that attacking anyone in this guild will mean serious retribution, we will not be attacked, or at least not again.

So who's everyone's favorite character (as if I need to ask)

I think right now I like Ian best, though, actually, and not just cause he's the only male character to make much of a splash. It's fun watching him 'adapt' in the way it was fun watching Mack adapt early on - only take on it all is way less idiosyncratic than hers, some of the early MU stuff was like "And she turned from a sheltered innocent into a masochistic sub from being shy in what? 3 days?" and a bit too unbelievable

I think Victor has a lot of potential, and I'd be very happy to see him get some more time in. The truth is, all the characters with a lot of 'screen time' get annoying enough that I can't like them all the way. :P Two, Amaranth, Puddy, Steff, Ian... They're all likable, but they're all just a little annoying. XD
So, I like the characters who haven't been dived into too much... Celia, Victor, Gloria, Belinda etc. They've still got the potential not to annoy me. XD
