Eh, close I suppose... If I were to rate myself with ideal personality, I'd give myself an 80. Saidre is more calm and focused than I am, for example.


The next round is... odd. This is to test your knowledge and ability to research. Ever heard of Sun Tzu and King Henry V of England? Both were great strategists in different ways. One literally wrote the BOOK of tactics and startegy, while the other is known for thinking outside the box and ignoring Europe's most famous code of war in the Middle Ages: Chivalry. In this test, decide who you think will win in a 1 on 1 fight, and give as much detail as you can as to why you think they will win. It doesn't matter who you favor. You can research them both if you wish, and you have unlimited time to complete it. PM your answer, of course.

Your answer will be rated 0-100, and added to your average rating. Winner will be apprentice, should all of the results be wide in range. If all of the results are still relatively close, I will eliminate 3 more people and come up with a final round. Good luck, and have fun!

Can I sum this up simply?
I really could get this done in a moderately small paragraph.
And It would make sense

Just a double Check too...
Henry v Is the original Henry Tudor, right?

No, thats Henry VII onwards.

Forgot to mention, the battlefield is an open plain, giving neither of them an advantage of terrain.

Hello all, I would like to have myself taken off the leaderboard for the Apprenticeship.
I learned something today. Many of Saint's tests is based not only the skill and knowledge of strategy, but also risk taking, and looking at your actions, but most of all: trust.
I've learned so much from watching Saint, he's one of the greatest strategists I've seen so far. Having him trust me to be his lieutenant means that i've learned enough to be nearly equals with him. I've learned enough for now. The time will come when I need to know more.

Not that it matters, but... it isn't much about trust. XD

I was bitching? You sir, need to learn the difference between bitching, and giving an opinion. And, you've always been an attention whore. Shall I bring up some reasons? Or will you learn that you have. You admit to mistakes yet you don't change. Your like me, in a sense. I'm stupid, head strong, arrogant, egoclastic, (Probably used that word wrong) and over reactive. But, if there's one thing I do know. It's when to shut up, and just take an insult.

Also, about the listening thing. Want to know something funny? As long as you are here, you have to listen to me. I am your superiour by rank. So, unless you want punishmant, I suggest you keep that in mind Seth. Lot's of people listen to me. Whether they respect me, fear me, or just decide best to listen to what I say for the moment. They listen.

One last thing. I'm also a hypocrite. Thanks for your time.

Seth, does this mean you forfeit the entire thing? Keep in mind that the leaderboard is only the top 3(or in this case 4). Icy, Soluna, and Reaper aren't on the leaderboard but still in it to win it. I need to know if you are dropping out completely.

BTW, I moved this to the Contests section, since this is quite obviously a contest at this point.

Dye, that speech was positively eloquent. Well done.

Seth, I know what you're talking about. tbh, I would understand it exactly if you used a few less words, and I'm wondering if that's what Dye was getting at, but it was a very good sentiment. I wouldn't call it attention whoring, but it was probably over-elegant. We've known each other as a group for quite some time. We know what you're saying, even when you don't use words. We're good at that kinda thing. Wink

Just want to add that in this test, it would be wise to look into the weapons they had in their respective eras and countries, as well as armor(as for weapons, ignore any large artillery or siege weapons, only things that can be wielded/used by a single man. swords, axes, bows, etc.).

1st test's answers(for fun!):

1. C. Yeah, pretty obvious. It's a nice way to get their attention and even freak them out a bit, without destroying them. Threatening may result in absolutely nothing, declaring war would obviously be going too far, and steal/destroying resources could potentially kill them off...

2. B. This was an odd one. Think of it this way: A good offense is the best defense. This maneuver will force the ENEMY into a defensive position, and if the unit is killed off, that's only a small portion of your military.

3. B. Best to change whatever information is changeable and leave it at that. Sometimes ignoring it is okay, but it isn't always wise to just shrug it off with overconfidence... it COULD spell disaster for you. Sure, you could hunt them down, but it could easily become a potential waste of time and energy searching for them when they could have already "spilled the beans", so to speak. And surrendering is just plain stupid.

4. A OR C. Both work fine. With A, you can avoid damage to the capital and allow citizens and officials to evacuate if need be. Your men will still be fully rested, well-fed and without injury, as they obviously did not have to travel very far. Choosing C allows for traps to easily be set in place to cripple the enemy forces quickly, with the cost of some damage to the capital.

5. C. The ONLY hard part is sneaking in, but even that can be done without too much trouble. Doing this would decimate the enemy. D is ALMOST acceptable, but keep in mind that the enemy only needs a small unit to take out a small unit of yours, so it could just be a waste of time and energy. It all depends on how stupid they are... and that isn't always a risk you can afford to take.


And that's all there is to it!

double post :3 Since Seth hasn't responded yet, I assume he meant he wanted to drop out entirely, so here's an update on the current standings.

1st Place- Saidre

2nd Place- Dye, Staitus

3rd Place- Reaper

4th Place- Soluna

5th Place- Icy

6th Place- Cooldude

Cooldude is back in due to Seth's forfeit.
