Yea definitely, I will plan to set something up with you. Its not like he doesn't have plenty of work load ahead of him.

We can work together on one of the next two projects.

For the record, it was decided in the Think Tank that every use of Sith Alchemy requires approval from the admins.

Also, I find it strange that you guys started with a power that has such extraordinary potential rather than learning it IC, but maybe I'm being nitpicky.

I may or may not be interested this for my character Casimir, but I plan on having him self-teach for the most part.

Its not that I don't believe you, but I'd like to read over that first bit myself, can you provide a link?

As far for starting of with the power of Sith Alchemy, you said yourself that is has extraordinary potential...the act of simply starting with an ability does not make someone automatically extraordinary with it. Its a practice that has many outlets and all of us started with experience in only one field of the art it seems. Then we are developing those individual specializations further and expanding into other types of work through RP. As I alluded to, starting out with Sith Alchemy does not automatically make one powerful, you can know the ability Sith Alchemy and yet be only able to craft the most mundane of things. Finally, Malon is having people start at the marauder and sorcerer rank, to be a sorcerer is to be an alchemist, the two go hand in hand.

As for your third line, that's cool that you want to self-teach it for the most part, but bringing me back to the above argument, not everyone is the same. I'm guessing a lot of people want to learn it from others and interact with others while they learn, for this to be possible SOMEONE has to start knowing how to do it.

I can't provide a link because the forum is password protected, but any other person that was in the Think Tank like Sreeya can verify what I just said. I brought Sith Alchemy up, it was given a somewhat reluctant approval and only if the admins could have some hand in its use, to prevent people abusing it (to keep people from mass producing warworms and zombies and so forth).

As for that second paragraph, I have no problem at all with people jotting down on their profile that their character has an interest in Sith Alchemy/some basic skill in it/etc. I don't think that applies to you though, because your character and Shenjo's (as well as others possibly, I don't really read through profiles so all I know is what's in this thread) are apparently skilled enough with the power to teach it to others. The only reason I'm posting in this thread at all is because I was the one that brought Sith Alchemy to the attention of the Think Tank so I figured I should elucidate some facts about the decision to include it that don't appear to have been mentioned.

(Also, for the record, what mainly motivated me to post is that I saw Shenjo mentioning the creation of a warworm, which is what I think the admins were talking about when they said that they'd like to screen major uses of Sith Alchemy beforehand)

As for teaching people the ability, I just wasn't sure if your intent was to teach them to the point where they've mastered alchemy or if it was to teach them the basics so they could continue on by themselves. :D Sith Alchemy is supposed to be one of the most secretive and elusive dark side techniques, at least from my understanding, so while I don't have any problem at all with people knowing more mundane aspects of it like the ability to enchant objects, it would defeat the purpose if everyone knew how to create Sithspawn on a whim.

Well first of all, I appreciate the nice post. But yea you'll then have to forgive me for not knowing such rules by the think tank since they were never made public right? And I do appreciate your posting, I'm not reacting hostile towards it.

As for the Sith War worm, that was specifically requested by SIN an admin, so don't know what to tell you there, that whole thread isn't really my show anyways.

For teaching it, I don't have any major intentions beyond just RPing out teaching to others for the fun of it. I think you'll find my thread gives credit to the fact that it is one of the most secretive and elusive dark side techniques.

For the approval part, I thought I heard that the FLs could also approve, which is why I haven't done anything without their permission.

And I agree, it's strange so many are starting out with it right off the bat. The reason Geist Weiss does is because originally he was to be the Sith Lord in charge of Sith Alchemy. However, after Malon had approved of Geist and his rank, the other Sith Lords persuaded him to lower the amount of Sith Lords from six to four, so I was cut out of the Sith Lord ranks by being number five. However, as talked with Malon, I plan to work hard to work Geist up to Sith Lord and then he'll become the Chief Alchemist.

Eh eh, if Malon approves people to be Sith sorcerers there is no reason they can't have alchemy abilities in my mind. Anyone not a marauder specialized as a sorcerer or above shouldn't have it if you ask me.

 

[Jake]

Lol, FLs probably can approve its use, and if SIN asked for the warworm then my point is moot.

I didn't expect Alchemy to be this popular, when I mentioned it in the think tank I figured a few people might use it and the rest wouldn't think it was worth the time of day, lol.

I don't think that, that is that far off base. From my knowledge there are three of us Sith Marauders that use it and then about the same number of Acolytes interested in it, give or take one. Definitely a minority of the order.

Edit: Oh and to further put your mind at rest on the war worm, its intended for a Darth to use, its not like any of us are going to have one afterwards to throw around...well at least not right away maybe later after more development. More importantly its taking the collaborated efforts of three alchemists to make it.

 

[DoomMuffin]

I was just wondering if any of the Sith alchemists are interested at some point in the Rp for this timeline augmenting a PC much like the sithspawn. I'm slightly interested in My current imperial character to be augmented, with admin approval of course.
