    Perception is about knowing your opponent. Studying your rivals and learning their style of fighting has to be the surest way of increasing your perception.

    So does anybody know if there will be female gladiators? I would be willing to save their lives if they paid back 'in kind'.

    Facing multiple enemies and having contral of all their movements are another. Useful when doing exhibition matches.

And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    Anybody got an idea how your loyal servant would increase your money stash during the breaks? Selling merchendise, blackmail (that sounds awfully risky)?

    No, it is what perception is used for (I think). But the question is, how to train it between battles. Of course, the best training for all traits would be to smash enemy, but there is also time in between

    I would also say a little wager now and then helps. Or predict the future to a naive passant, or steal from others stashes or look for money people dropped or picking up the trash on the street, or robbing a wealthy Roman, or selling autographs.

    4 hours to go, Several fairly active players in thread have not sent me any orders. (There will not be an extension)

    If you believe you've sent me orders please check your Sent folder and make sure, you don't want to miss out and lose your chance to improve your character.

    That is all, hope everybody is having a good weekend so far

    Discussion Phase has begun!

    What is the point of this phase?

    Well, given the nature of this game, a lot of variables are being crunched at the same time. So to guarantee a write-up exactly at the end of every Order Phase would be highly unrealistic. The primary reason for this phase is to give your Host a chance to bring you your results and a quality write-up when he has time to do so.

    What's your job while I do all the work?

    Discussion to influence your Luck Factor is YOUR primary objective. Role play (I know you want to).

    What else?

    The phase after this one is the Arena Phase. You all will get the chance to join us there, but you MUST tell me. As per the rules, you have three options...

    1.) You may Challenge... Want to fight another player? Challenge:Zain then the "challengee" must Accept Challenge:ATPG. Odds are, you will get what you want IF both of you agree. Wish to challenge a particular NPC? Say so! You may get what you want. (Note: Challenging a higher ranked NPC will dramatically decrease your odds of success)
    2.) You may Request... Want to fight in the Arena or an exhibition match but don't care who you fight? Then say "I wish to Request to fight in the Arena" or something to that effect. You may also Request an Exhibition Match or Request an Advanced Exhibition Match.
    3.) You may choose not to fight in the Arena. Do this by saying so "I wish to Decline my attendance in the Arean" or just say nothing.



    So get to posting! I will work on the Private and Public Write-ups and post them before the end of this phase. Any Requests, Challenges, etc that are placed after the deadline will not be taken into account.

    Any questions? Go ahead and ask

    Time Remaining:

    Loyal to all of us, maybe not just one in particular. Stealing from others stashes may not work. Steal my stash and the "loyal servant" would be a deadman!

    Festus, fisherman, I'll net you down and pierce you with my trident.

    I also happen to be pretty tall, good reach in case I'm stuck going against another Retarius.

    I'm going to Challenge someone but I haven't decided who yet. Who become a Veteranus and eventually enter the Palus heirarchy first would lead to great advantage...

    So, here's the break down:
    @crossroad - Decimus - House of Lucilius - Novicius
    @Darth Feather - Tullius - House of Lucilius - Novicius
    @Ironside - Berno - House of Lucilius - Novicius
    @rickinator9 - Amulius - House of Lucilius - Novicius
    @Stildawn - Cicero - House of Lucilius - Novicius

    @Chief Pappy - Festus - House of Avidius - Novicius
    @Double A - Optimus - House of Avidius - Novicius
    @Ferret - Cato - House of Avidius - Novicius
    @Ishmael - Ambustus - House of Avidius - Novicius
    @Jarema - Sextus - House of Avidius - Novicius
    @LazyMcCrow - Valentinus - House of Avidius - Novicius

    I suggest we here at Lucilius extend the olive branch to Avidius and band together and destroy Maxentius and Quintinius! That will help build our rankings and wealth. It seems I remember reading there is a rivalry between our two houses but our host chose to remove that. Not sure if that still exists, but I'm assuming we can all agree to play our characters as united together. There are plenty of other NPC's to pick on. Thoughts?

    That sounds ridiculously drastic.

    What is this foolish talk? Join together and pick on those in a weaker House? Bah!

    Challenge: Darth Feather.

    I've heard enough of this cowardly nonsense. Let us fight, Gallus versus Gallus, to make the superiority of Avidius clear to all.
