Submissions and Deadlines:

[Contact me ingame or through PMs if you wish to participate in this RP. The idea is to promote more artist/scholar kind of characters and give them a sort of arena for their work. No particular obligations are expected to be fulfilled by the player and this is not a guild in the making. Suggestions and comments are welcome but let's try to keep this thread IC. So please use brackets for your OOC comments. Thanks.]

[AWESOME IDEA! A huge pat on the back for you! ]

[daehaz]

[Perhaps Zorbels will put aside her (completely unjustified) distrust and apply? I hear they will serve strawberries in the award ceremony...]

[Illysia]

Yeah this is a really good RP idea. Pretty well thought out. It might even make the PLers jealous.

[Entevir]

Ureck sits in the tavern about as relaxed as he can get on a woden chair and after staring ahole in the wall across the room says "Ill be damned if this realy is worth all the fuss but why not"

[Hope you realy hit this one off.Id like to see lectures done in PS.It would either be totaly lame or incredibly awesome.And i didnt get where im suposed to send aplications.And what kind of a sample can i philosopher give?Its realy an in context proffession.]

[daehaz]

[Philosophers can make a presentation on any of their current or past subjects of study. Submissions can be made contacting me directly in-game or through PMs. And to make the process more IC...]
