Arena Assesment Crom the Conqueror & Burning_Ice & AlexMdle & Tuv

Okay first things first.
I am not Chaos. this is evidenced in the fact I won't be giving a post by post account.
I will list problem posts, but if you don't see your post assume you did fine.

Allright then, by participant:
First up:
Me
I'm perfect awesome and impeccable. But no really I can't asses myself someone else will have to do it if they want to.

Next:
Crom
Minor spelling problem in your 4th post. That was about it as far as significant spelling grammar goes.
Your RP style: You could do with some more confidence. There were several places where you could have done more but you just stood and watched. I realize that with the rest of us in a 3 way brawl it looked a little hard to join in but remember, your 7 feet tall, have rhino-thick skin, dragon skin armor, and could easily break 2 out of 2 necks and a...hilt? pommel?w/e by just backhanding them. You have a huge apparently magical sword. Your character is a melee tank. Don't be afraid to get in there and bust some heads. Or at the very least start flanking people or SOMETHING.
That said you also showed that our not afraid to let your character take a beating if the situation merits it(razor wire, charging etc). I didn't really get a good look at your combat skills here but I did watch you in your previous fight as Ashtair. Fairly good overall.

Advice: Get in there and start smacking people around. Your huge, your green, and you have anger issues. You can make your character work well out of combat, we all saw that, a clansman through and through trying not to act like a clansman.

Assesment: I think this passes the muster. I recommend Crom for the Arena. He's shown he can RP both in combat (last time) and out of combat (this time).


Tuv
No grammatical issues
Well the black fire was a bit cheap. Your character already had an advantage in range on everyone else, and for such a dynamic power you seem almost creepily obsessed with tentacles. That said considering what's happening to your character right now it was justified, maybe get rid of the "fire on skin" bit, a few characters have to be able to make physical contact to possibly win a fight, nonetheless it was permissible. Overall your out of battle RP with Ashtair's old sword was good, your in battle RP was fairly good, though once again, all the tentacles=creepy.
Oh and I just loved the pure CHEESINESS of this line:"FEEL THE PAIN OF A THOUSAND SUNS...!"
Overall: Pretty Good

Advice:Be more creative! You've got an incredibly variable power! Make use of that.
Assesment: I recommend Tuv...stays in the arena...and never mentions tentacles again

AlexMdle:
Grammatical Issues:...I'm not listing all these. I'm far too lazy. That said this is and definitely is going to remain a work in progress for you. Keep working at it, you'll get it sooner or later.
Remember your limits and your strengths. For example Sword is well...a sword. He should be unusually light and should be knocked back farther/more easily than other human characters. You defended yourself well and plausibly ( I think, I'm still a little fuzzy on exactly what happened with the parrying the tentacles). We asked you to stir up some fighting and you succeeded marvelously. Good job with that.
Overall: Pretty Good

Advice: don't be afraid to take a hit! your as close to immortal as any character in the arena is likely to get barring acts of plot. Take a hit and use the opportunity to strike back, I would have loved to see more attacking on your part. Especially since all of us would have needed OOC knowledge to actually kill you.
Recommendation: I'm going to withhold judgment here. On the one hand between language and a general lack of action there really isn't enough for me to judge. I'll go with the decision of the RP council in general

Okay, my turn.

Post by post, of course, as is my style.

BI: Very nice opening, very good post.

Crom: The term "Earth Mother" is far too related to WC3. I find him far too cheery for an orc to just nonchalantly move to a human to greet him, especially if he thinks the captives may be near to him (Unless he didn't then ignore the 'especially' part). Also, the grass seems much higher in your post than in BI's initial post. It's still a great post, just some minor issues in logic.

BI: Good post... though seems rushed in how it was made.

Crom: Good post.

BI: Excellent post considering you play well into your character's abilities to be totally oblivious to the orc's true identity.

Crom: Great post, I like the sudden correction.

Alex: No critical grammar mistakes, job well done. Could have probably used more detail though. Other than that, great job.

Tuv: Seems rushed, could have used more detail, but still good post.

BI: Only problem would be the double "for a moment" in this post. Great post otherwise.

Crom: Incredibly short post, in need of more detail. Decent post considering where the post occurs. Also, "hprrible". =P

Alex: A few grammatical/spelling errors, but much less than in your previous RP Battles. Good post.

Tuv: Good post, again, could probably use more detail.

BI: Great post, plain and simple.

Crom: Great post, again more detail.

Alex: Very few grammatical mistakes, though lacks in detail. Good post.

Tuv: Great post.

BI: Great post... From here on I'm loving that war chant.

Crom: Great post.

Alex: Grammatical errors, and you seem to ignore Tuv. Good post otherwise.

Tuv: CONGRATULATIONS on turning into a black flaming tentacle monster in one post. Good post.

BI: Great post, I like the flame emitting boot.

Crom: Good post, could use more detail.

Alex: Your character is mortal, and was just blasted by fire in such away you'd have to block after the fire seared you. Minor grammar/spelling, otherwise decent post.

Tuv: From your other posts/character's reactions, you're somewhat distant, yet in this post it seems like you're almost right on top of them. Good post though.

BI: ... ... ... This post flows... oh... so deliciously... I want to make it into something physical and cuddle it.

Crom: I think BI's effect was buffered greatly due to this post of yours, although it could have intentially been a fluke. You do more recap actions than you actually do actions. Try less recap more activity, more detail in your activity.

Alex: Very short post... decent... a few errors.

Tuv: Great post.

BI: If your knife wasn't meant to be a fluke, you did a good job of covering yourself up to comply to the situation. Great use of runes, great post overall.

Crom: Short post, but good. Needs more detail.

Alex: Kinda... sudden that you just up and leave... especially after asking Torin a question. Minor grammar/spelling errors, needs some more detail. Good post otherwise.

Tuv: I like your creativity in your spell, but the speech is far too long for a post like that. Great post otherwise.

BI: Minor grammar/spelling errors (AWW). Also if it's not already in your character sheet you might wanna add that dampener rune as well as all other important runes located on your body. Very excellent post.

Crom: Very good post, we need more like it. You seem to do well in non-combat sitatuons in your RP skills. Try to do more.


Advice:

BI: I noticed with the addition of the lyrics the actual content was small, but that might be because you did include to lyrics. However, your methods and RP style, sense of mortality and closeness to your actual character is very good.

Crom: You seem to be distant from your character, and do very good outside of combat, but fairly bad otherwise. Try to improve. Also, include more detail... that is, to be close to your character. You're not just saying what they do and when, you're trying to put the very essence of the character on the post. I can see it clearer in your final post, but the others are lacking.

Alex: Major improvement on grammar and spelling, although I feel you backed away from content to spare you from more chances to do poorly on spelling/grammar. You did much better this time, though. Just try to put more into the posts while maintaining your improving English skills. Also, you must remember, Sword is not a god, Sword is mortal, no matter how much you dislike it. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. This is to ensure stability in the Arena. You have these characters created, such as Black and w/e, but your lore does not directly apply to the Arena, it needs to be modified before it can suit the Arena. That last part was in light of previous discussions rather than on actual content of the RP Battle.

Tuv: I like how well you changed, although your posts seemed rushed and somehow lacking. I also like your creativity. Just look at the post-by-post recommendations to get a general grasp of advice, because you seemingly changed from post to post... or at least that's how I felt.


Assessments:

Crom: I feel like you took a step back from what you did good on, and took a step forward on what you did poorly on before, which doesn't equal everything out. Before I recommend you to the Arena, I'd like to see something that shows you can get close with your character. It doesn't have to be an RP battle, though.

Alex: Very good improvement, but similar to Crom where you took a step back on what you did good on (The depth, the combat, etc.), and took a giant leap forward where you lacked (Spelling/Grammar/Concept). I know you can do both, but as with Crom, I'd like to see something that shows the combination of this, a deep, well thought out, interesting post with correct spelling/grammar.

I'm reserving judgement until I see these things. Don't be disheartened, things are looking quite optimistic.
