Fate/Yet Another Grail War RPing Idea

[Cherry Lover]

I don't think the Einsberns picked a specific class to replace, though, they just said "we're summoning this guy" and fiddled the system to allow them to do so, which resulted in one of the other classes being dropped because the Grail only has enough power to summon 7 servants. If they were going to pick a class to replace, surely they wouldn't have picked the one that has a track record of inevitably destroying their masters before the end of the war....

Or maybe they added the 8th class container with it, and Saber as usual got summoned early. Berserker got left out in the cold, because nobody wanted that class.

[Cherry Lover]

Yeah, that's pretty much what I meant. They didn't replace one of the class containers, they just summoned their servant (I'm not sure if they made a special container or if they just summoned him "raw" and the Grail just made something up, possibly some sort of default container) and let the Grail sort out the rest.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Right


As their are 8 containers, but only seven slots in the third war, one of the containers doesn't get used - Berserker. So any of the class containers could have gone unused. It was just Berserker in that situation.

[Cherry Lover]

That doesn't necessarily follow. It could be that the three knight containers are given priority and will always be chosen.

The impression I get is that the Grail does prepare in advance who gets what class, to try to avoid clashes etc. Shirou, for example, gets Saber as the final servant summoned, despite it being the class everyone wants. But, he was actually guarenteed to summon Saber from the moment he got the command spells, if not before, due to Avalon. It seems unlikely to me that that is just co-incidence.

the magic of plot

[Milbunk]

This could probably be debated for some time but perhaps for the meantime we should focus on getting this off the ground?

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Yeah.


Elf called dibs on Archer by the way.

[Cherry Lover]

Arch, it might be a good idea to link to the master sheet on the front page, for convenience.

Also, are there limitations on the power of a servant? Or can we just make whatever we like?

[Arch-Magos Winter]

General rule of thumb - if it can beat Herc, it's likely to be veto'd.

[Cherry Lover]

But aside from that there's no real limit?

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Pretty much, but I'll veto anything I think goes too far.

Well, I doubt this'll mean much to anyone save Alice, if only b/c she'll have remember to edit the OP.

I am formally withdrawing from this RP.

To everyone else sticking this out: good luck and try to have fun.

[Ambiguous_Ayakashi]

Why is everyone bailing?

Why the withdraw? IRL things? And I'm sure more than just me will be sad to see you go, and for more reasons than editing an OP.

And @Ayakashi, it's just been two people thus far. One was for IRL reasons anyway, which is understandable.
