Master?

Hi guys,

I believe I need to ask for a Master in single saber style; I think this is the appropriate step, at least I hope so lol. Is there anyone who would be willing?

Thanks,

~LK~

Until knights can do 2 students; It might take a while to get an "active" master.

Yea um Broke, LizardKing is also a Student looking for a Master, not the other way around, sorry.

As I see it LK, you're pretty decent with Single already, would you entertain the thought of learning something in a different style?

True. So why not grant me my previous rank before I left or one below it? After all, this has always been done for returning members in KR.

Thank you. I plan to, though I really want to be certified in single saber (I want to go as high as I can with it) before moving on to another. There seems to be a shortage of active single saberist's so if possible, I want to stick with it.

Broke... That would be great if only it were possible. We seem to be matched well together and a good fit.

Out of the knights, I count 3 single users who I have seen in the past few weeks at least once in server, 1 from the guardians who I've seen once total, 1 from the masters who I've seen once total, and 1 from the council (Jawfin) who I see all the time. That leaves me with just you Jawfin to ask, and I think your all booked up lol.

I'll cross my fingers and hope something pops up.

~LK~

edit - Ty Silent1 for the offer. I plan on going duals next!

I can see how you might feel that to be relevant but to my credit I abided by the same rules and went through the same trials as all current members. To my understanding these methods have not changed since the old Frozen Knight days (the clan KR resurrected from) - for all those not keen on KR’s history.

The way I see it - you have a experienced single saberist interested in perfecting his craft and an Ex-Arbiter who is probably the most skilled member in the clan willing to help teach him. As LK pointed out, the majority of Arbiters/Masters are inactive, why not utilize the current resources at hand? I may not be on the server daily, but when I am on I usually see LK and have already helped train him on a few occasions. In my opinion this seems like a much logical solution than what is currently being suggested and he would definitely benefit a lot more from it.

I have no doubt in your skill level, Broke, and I am sure there's much LK could learn from you. Also, it seems that you and LK sync up together in both style, attitude, and timing, which would make for a good fit.

However, as the Arbiter ranks are all filled up, I am not sure how you could regain your old rank without the demotion of another. While some Arbiters may hardly be on, I think fair warning would have to be given first.

As to becoming a Master, I don't think there'd be any toes stepped on or any feelings hurt. again, that would be a Council-oriented decision, so may I recommend PMing Council on this matter? While you may disagree with Gospel, he has a valid point that it has been a while. While I don't think it's hindered your skills any, you have become less-in-tune with KR going-ons and its life in general. You've just rejoined after a very, very long absence, with many new members and some different rules or amendments.

Also, and I do not know because I wasn't around, but perhaps the manner of your leaving is playing a role. Whether amicable or hostile (I doubt hostile, it's just a "what-if" scenario), how you left may have had an impact on how you returned as well. Obviously you are KR material, as the test of time has proven, but KR itself has changed also.

In short, all I can say is PM Council formally on this matter and see what happens. LK obviously needs a Master and likes you, and you were a high-ranking, favorable member, so it will likely be in your favor.

Broke, if you have an issue with the rank we gave you, you are to PM any of the five Council members. This is not something we discuss in public.

Send any of us a message if you wish to discuss this further.

As a side note, this isn't what we look for in Arbiters.

Please bring this back on topic.

OK, all debate and speculation aside, I still need a single saberist Master.

Job Description:

- Must be able to get Council's consent on having that Master.
- Train me for 3 weeks to prepare me for Trials/tests
- Train me again for afew more weeks and get recommendations/permissions

This person should be willing to:

- to accept bribes of cookies and/or ho'ho's/twinkies


- All interested parties should apply here! Again.. I am willing to bribe!

You might be able to get Downcast. He's been coming back to the server recently, and he's been saying he needs a Padawan. He has Alchemy, but no one has heard from him for quite some time now.

Other than that, all other singlests are either taken or inactive (single Knights anyway)

I agree with Falcon, Downcast is pretty beast if he's willing to take you. :)

Best of luck LK. Hope you find a active singles Master. A shame it didn't work out.

I would be more than happy to get Greed. I haven't seen Downcast at all and I'm usually on a lot. I guess right now I'm kind of in limbo. I hope someone becomes active soon. :(

i think hes apt for Arbi specially with some of their current activity, but its like Py said, its up to the big dude, & gals, up there. about the LK & u formin the student teacher bond, i think thatd be great. its like u said u guys r, for some pretty odd reason, always findin each other server side. also, even now, i mean ur still not student teacher, u tend to train quite a bit together. i dont know, i think these two might just make a perfect couple. anyways good luck broke, & if possible good luck takin LK under ur wing.
