Welcome

I always liked the thought of it and have a bow to practice with, but it's up my uncle's. Recently, I 've taken to the idea of fencing, you know, with rapiers.It always sounded cool and I always wanted to be a knight who hefted the blade for the weak.

Well Seth, you are now: Sir Seth, the Sapphire Bowman, 12th in the Gemstone Order. From now on, I shall refer to you as Sir Seth and to Warrior13 as Sir Michael. IF it is okay with you two of course. (on a personal note, thank Warrior13 for allowing to do this with his chat Section and allowing Sir Seth and myself to hold our discussions in vampyric hours of the night.) You both may referto me as Sir Anthony.

I welcome both of you into the Order and knight you with my Rapier(imaginary of course, I don't own one.) May your titles bring you many nights of good fortune. Comment if there is one and after I will lay the Code of Chivalry you must follow in real life. It's part of signing up and was posted before you agreed.

I love archery. Always have. I also like fencing. That's how my mom and dad meet each other--in a fencing class. I also just like swords. I have a collection of them started. Anyway, Sir Seth is fine. I don't really care. I look forward to following the codes of chivalry even further!

Right well Sir Seth, I wasn't going to call you your full title all the time. Now, why don't you tell me what you know of Chivalry right now and I'll add to it if I have to.

I'm not sure exactly the ideals of chivalry codes. I do know of honesty, politeness, and curtosey, though. I'm thinking the kind of chivalry you'd have on dates. I also can't think of some right words right now, either... I'm sure you'll need to add.

Well, you have the general idea, Sir Seth, which is good. I'll clarify the rules so they'll be specific. Also know we kinda made our own, so if you don't see them if looking at the real ones, you'll know why.

Rule 1)Be kind, just, and courtiess to everyone. Even if you can't stand them, speak kindly and tolerate them.
Rule 2)Never raise your sword, voice, or hand to a woman. No matter what she does or says to you, just laugh it off and say "that's how you see it, I see it differently." Or something like it.
Rule 3)If you see someone who is being harassed, intervene for them. This means man or woman, try to help if you can. Or atleast let them get away.
Rule 4)Always try to remedy the situation with words first. Violence is always a last resort and should only be used in defense of others or yourself. Once, you oppnent is down, STOP, and wait until he is back up and able to fight fair.
Rule 5)Never harass or torment someone who is weaker than yourself. Don't joke behind someone's back, say it directly to thier face. Never intentionally pick fights with some one for something that happened in past times. A good clock is if it happened over an hour ago,let it be.
Rule 6)POliteness and Manners. Hold the door for others, let women and other men in before yourself. If asked to borrow something and you have it, let them borrow it.

Follow these rules and you'll follow the Code of the Order. I know I won't beable to make sure you follow them. but please honestly try. These are what separate gentlemen such as us from the dogs who call themselves men or women. Commments? And Warrior13, let me know if we can call you Sir Michael. IF not we'lljust call you Sir whatever you pick.

Wow. I do most of those anyway! God, I love my parents for enforcing those ideals into me! Them and Boy Scouts. That teaches those ideals as well. I may have to adjust to 1 and 5 though. Those are the two I sometimes break...

Well no man or woman is perfect, I've broken all but Rule 4 at one time or another. Just don't make a habit of it.

Oh, one more thing, don't go around initiating everyone you meet. You are gaurdians and peacekeepers of your schools and workplaces(if you work). If someone wants in, they come to me. I know I can't enforce this but please,just follow this rule. This club is kinda like my baby. I made it from scratch and protect its integrety. Don't defile it by adding people you want to for the fun of it. Make sure they will atleast follow the rules. Also, in my bio I will put a list of members on sc. If someone says they are one Of the Order and they aren't on the list, say something.

Don't worry. I wouldn't do that without asking/referring them to you. I'll tell ya' if I see someone trying to join it without your say-so.

By the way, how's that W-Fi thing working for ya?

My Uncle(not the one with my bow) hasn't come up to help. I don't want to do it myself and break something, so it's not even out of the box yet. I'll tell you when it's up. So, do you fear my team on my card, team Knight? The psychic is there because of the comment I made about test papers earlier. It's an inside joke!(My first and only).

Nice. I get the inside joke! I'm looking forward to battling that team! I've been practicing with mine for the last day for an upcoming tournament I have. I'm getting the hang of it, too!

When we first battle, I want it to your Garchomp Vs. my Vaporeon. 1-on-1 match both lv. 100. We'll see who's strongest pokemon is better. (Wait, your strongest on team Funky! is Garchomp, Right?) Well I'm hitting the hay. This has been very tiring. Good morrow to you Sir Seth and Sir Michael, and many nights of good forunte be with you two. Remeber, starting tomorrow, you follow the Code. This goes for you too WArrior13.

One more little thing. If you break a rule, I don't need to hear aboout it. I don't do confessions or I'd be a priest. For the first two days, members always came up to confess like I was without Fault. If you do screw up, Learn from the mistake and better yourself because of it.

i made this 4 tha guy who likes heracross

so it looks like a heracross is standing with u

I'm down with that. I love the name. So what do we call you emerald?
I got to go, little brother's turn.

Previously, I mentioned, that I wrote stories which featured the Gemstone Order. Well, I just put up the first in a trilogy I'm working on. In reality, its the second story, but I like to know where I'm going with stories before I write them. Sir Seth and Sir Michael, you should check them out to know what to expect when I add you two into one.

Go to Quizilla and Type in the search bar "Passing of the Sword". Tell me what you think, I need a critic who isn't a teacher. They shower me with praise no matter what I do.

Sir Anthony what is Quizilla?

Excellent job with it! I like the storyline a lot! It's a bit sudden, but, being a short story, that's how it's supposed to be. I did spot a few punctuational errors, though. Also one spelling error. You said form instead of from when Helios is coming from behind the curtain. You also forgot quotation marks in a few places. There are also a couple places where I thought different words or expressions might serve you better, but I forget where they are now. Really goos story, though! It was a fun read!

Sir Vilo How do you get to Sir Anothony's story?

Just Google Quizilla and go to its website. One you're there, in the search bar on the web page, type "The Passing of the Sword", and there should be one result. That's the story.

Great story. Just like Sir Seth said, great story line. A few errors. But overall I would rank it 120 out of 100. Great Story!!! I'm signing off, it is my borther's turn on the computer. Bye.

Well Sir Seth, its sudden because the story is only half its length. What I ahve up there is what I turn in for teachers. The real thing is about eight or nine pages. I have the third in the Series written and I had to split that into three parts. Each is ten to twevle front and back-holed notebook paper. And that's using the complete page not ending at the red margin line.

First time I turned the original in, my teacher looked at it and asked how long this took. I told her about a week and she was dumbfounded. She told me to cut it down by half the story so I have to rewrite it so it makes sense. That's why its sudden. I'll put the first part in the third of the seires on. Full and all the pages typed. I'll let you know when its done so you can see me at my best.

Sir Anthony, 15th Emerald Knight(in my Stories), First in the Gemstone Order.
