Also, learn to use edit post. You shouldn't make two posts if you can just edit the one you already have.

I love how his bio is so antithetical to established Ancient lore.

It is? The lore was really disorganized so I couldn't really read it to get an accurate idea of what I should have written...

No more ancients, we got three. Even if scud switches, I really don't just let anyone into the Ancients. For one, as Umune pointed out, there are a ton of people who asked to be an Ancient, and got shot down. You really got to prove yourself as a good rp'er. And you told me yourself Minecraft is not good for RP....

Yeah, so you'll have to edit your bio. Wait 'till tomorrow so that the numbers are correct, although I bet Matt will let you into any of them anyway.

Ashwin...So what you're saying is that according to me, no one can be an ancient since Minecraft's not good for RP and you need to be good at RP to be an ancient. Wait, what? That's not what I'm saying. What I mean is that there are other formats much better suited to RPGs than Minecraft. Minecraft is limited in its ability to sustain an RP game simply because it wasn't designed to be an RPG.

No. The real answer is that Ashwin was originally vying for being the only Ancient (and he would have near-god powers like magic and free-flying). Of course Matt didn't like that, and demanded that there be multiple Ancients. So that's what Ashwin did: he let there be a few Ancients, but no more.
::edit:: Ashwin's argument in his post isn't cohesive, by the way, so don't be worried if you thought you missed something.

Noone can be an Ancient since they're freakishly OP.

Noone can be an Ancient since they're freakishly OP. Take away ALL the powers. No, but seriously, then why do they even exist? Like I said earlier today, we should implement a system where using their powers requires some expendable system like XP or something else we (read: Ashwin) make ourselves.

Ancient revamps cannot be forced. Why? Because Ashwin likes it the way it is, and he codes the plugin. If Matt demanded him to change it, he could refuse. And, theoretically, if Matt changed it himself (without Ashwin's permission), Ashwin could bring him to court with a cease and desist order. We talked about this once, and Matt said, "Maybe I should carry a lighter around, so when you bring that to me, I'll ignite it in your hands." Or something to that effect.
::edit:: Just noticed your location. LOL. SO FREAKING LOL. i still think mine's better though

Ozz, that's not true. I was vying for making the Ancient's the only magic race, which it is. Of course, with the powers, I and Matt agreed it'd have to be only a few people. I'm simply saying, You have to be really good at RP to be an Ancient, which I don't know yet. You yourself stated that Minecraft is not good for RP, which leads me to believe you won't be good at it. If you are, You COULD be considered for RP. @catplanet, for the same reasons, I really haven't put much thought into it. Umune is my likely candidate, judging by his RP, his personality being really epic for a mysterious traveler, and whatnot. Of course, the population numbers really have to get to the Ancient=1%-5%. There are plenty of other races! Emergents, extremely strong and oriented to a PvP sort of RP, which Minecraft easily sustains. Animists, Oriented to many situations, and Masters at Trade, Sustainable quite well in MC. Humans, versitile and skillful with tools, very useful in Minecraft, RP or not. Crimsons, skillful with Redstone, and always someone you want when designing a building. Csssuf, just so you know about Crimsons, all Airship creations have to pass by the leader, Ozz. Downsides: Emergents fight a lot and are subserviant to the leader. Animists have weaknesses to their individual powers. Humans have no weaknesses other then lack of special powers. Crimsons, weaker than any others, and drown in generated redstone.

Ancients are like (legit) 1st or 2nd generation legendary Pokemon: overpowered and insanely rare.
@ash: We got rid of magic because it was overpowered and was pointless in-RP. And recent experiences have actually reinforced the need to prove you're good at RP to be an Ancient. Not to say Scud is bad at RPing, but if you use your basically Creative Mode powers to muck with in-RP building, the server can tank.
::edit:: God damnit, I just gave away another pagebreak.
