Chapter 3 OOC Discussion

[Jacogos]

By the way Jac, want me to tell you how Korron could have easily, and I mean really easily, beaten Richard?

Continued to throw axes at him and never let him get close? xD

[Tolvo]

Koron is dual wielding axes with blade heads designed for dealing with people wearing light or medium armor, they have no spikes for dealing with armor. This makes the weapons not very effective, unless...

You spin them around, and use the back of the head of one to hammer away, while using the other axe to hook his armor with the blade side and hold him in place, so that the force won't dissipate as easily.

Keep that in mind the next time they fight Jac, that you had anti-armor weapons all along. ;)

[Mfable]

Fine, I spit on Scavy! Off to Leongarde then!

[P.K.]

well fine its not like we like you either D:

-pouts in a corner-

[Mfable]

You're missing out PK, you're missing out. -slowly shakes his head in shame-

[Tolvo]

Just a heads up, if you really want to make a Leongarde character Fable you should consider a mage. Since Leongarde has no mages, and in a battlefield against magic users we essentially auto-lose. Having one might turn those odds a bit.

[P.K.]

no I'm not! cuz Karrha just bet an old ugly soul sucking misty black monster thing! so ther ha! and you can't to that while your in leongarde ! so there!

-goes to her kitchen-

[Jacogos]

I honestly could care less where you go, either you'll make a fantastic ally or a fantastic enemy XD

[Eddren]

Nor can you kill that same beast in Archeos, Aeregos, or Firanos, apparently, since none of those Factions made it to their boss-battle.

[Love Amore]

I came up with a character idea first, and then decided where she'd fit best. Granted, more went into it... But that was the basic faction choosing method I used, if that counts for much...

[Cfavano]

Join us in Disgeran.

[Tolvo]

Hey, Oko got to what was relatively a boss battle considering his abilities.

[Mfable]

A Leaongarde mage? Maybe. I honestly haven't decided where I want to go.

[Tolvo]

So Cf, you are on with my idea of everyone just making characters in Archeos and Disgeran so that the whole east is just decided by NPC's?

[P.K.]

it dose count Anna :3

Anyways I'm off guys night!

[Cfavano]

no, I'm not saying that. But, Disgeran could use some more characters, because of how much larger they are.

[Eddren]

Actually, a Leongarde Mage would be really great. Would be better if you were in on the evil mastermind planning room Tolvo, P.K. and I are running, but a Leongarde Mage would be great...Even as a simple rival.

[Jacogos]

I think you should go with Amore's idea. Make the character you want and them place him/her into a faction that fits him/her.

[Tolvo]

"We have so many players, we obviously need more."-Cf

[Mfable]

I'd prefer to choose a faction then make a character for said faction. It's easier and inspires me more, honestly.

[Tolvo]

Same, you'll end up with a character that matches the lore of it much better.

[Jacogos]

Then go with Leongarde. Lord knows they need some PCs. And then I can test your skeelz >: D

[Tolvo]

I'd wait until the Rune Tablets are set, and the units are reworked for the next chapter. Leongarde still might end up with no way of dealing with the other armies, so you may not wish to join them.

[Cfavano]

That's because, if everyone who could attacked disgeran, I don't think we could defend each border.

[Mfable]

I really should read one of these threads. I still don't entirely know how things work. -sigh- I'll get around to it when I am finished procrastinating. Someone inspire me!

[Love Amore]

Fair enough, then I suggest a faction that needs members to help balance things out.

[Cfavano]

*takes out a wooden paddle with electrified metal studs.* This enough inspiration?

[Tolvo]

Yeah Cf, that's called being in a war. As you expand, you thin out. We could all join Disgeran if you want, but then it would just be every player in one faction which would be dumb.

[Cfavano]

Actually, when I play a strategy game, and send out a blitzkrieg, I always make sure I leave behind enough units to 'hold the line' as it were.

[Tolvo]

*facepalm*

Cf, imagine you are playing an RTS that is an eight way battle, imagine your side has six people, and the other side has two. Are you going to feel good if you win, are the other people even going to want to play with you? I know I wouldn't.

There are times where I feel like I'm going to be forced to make my characters on the most populated sides, since they just get more and more populated.

Jac and I are currently flying solo because of this.

[Jacogos]

If you haven't noticed, I've just taken to ignoring him. Perhaps eventually he'll give up. cause you know E1 will never listen to him.

And yeah, I only just realized that with Oko gone, Kaizan's the only one in Aeregos xDxD

That ought to be interesting... I'm going to have to remember to pick Samara and Verin up.

[Mfable]

Is the list of warriors accurate and up to date?

[Jacogos]

Some warriors no longer participate in battles. I could give you an "updated" list if you want

[Tolvo]

Okotsuchin for example is dead.

I don't remember if anyone even got the reference of his name.

[Jacogos]

Okotsuchin for example is dead.

I don't remember if anyone even got the reference of his name.

I'll admit that I did not.

[Mfable]

That would be most appreciated Jac.

[Cfavano]

And, remember, Miranda is now a member of Disgeran.

Also Miranda, I believe, is moving to Disgeran, but I'm unsure as to the validity of that.

[Tolvo]

You need to still set that up with E1 I think Cf.

Also Cf, did you ever figure it out? If anyone would get it, it'd be you or Fable, but Fable hasn't been around long.

[Cfavano]

Did it have something to do with origins? And, Anna wants to be in Disgeran. Whether or not how she got there is published is up to him, but as Miranda's Player, Anna says where she goes.

[Mfable]

Thank you kindly Jac! Looks like Leongarde needs more love. Aeregos too. Now I must ponder things.

[Tolvo]

Cf, don't be demanding. I'm sure Amore can figure out a way to have her character put into Disgeran by talking it over with E1. Please do not though talk as if it is fact, E1 is the GM. It's up to him whether or not it happens. I'm assuming he will allow it and listen to Amore, but please remember the place of a player.

[Jacogos]

Either way, I win :D

[Tolvo]

It was Tsuchinoko rearranged, a Japanese mythical creature. A talking snake.

I thought it was pretty obvious.

[Jacogos]

OOoooooooooooooooohhhhh-

I'm not nearly as familiar with Japanese myth as you might think xD

[Mfable]

I'm not as familiar with it either.

[Love Amore]

Even if I knew all about Japanese mythology, I still wouldn't have noticed that...

[Cfavano]

Now who's the weeaboo?

[Cfavano]

finally, it's out! watch it! http://www.screwattack.com/shows/originals/death-battle/death-battle-goku-vs-superman

[Tolvo]

What do you mean?

[P.K.]

wow.

Also Tolvo, I didn't know about Oko's name but thats was interesting :P

[Tolvo]

I tend to do little references in the names of my characters, Lestoph was of course the Faust legend, Richard of course being a reference to King Richard the Lionheart.

[P.K.]

:P makes seance!

[Tolvo]

Yep, it's always fun to do little things like that. Plus they fit if you ask me, Richard is just a normal name, Oko's sounded like an Aeregosian name, and Lestoph sounded like a possible Disg name.

[P.K.]

Either way I think they fit :P

[E1Alpha]

Right first of all: *smacks Cf yet again*

Secondly, I will indeed most likely let Amore move her character over to Disgeran. But next time, I want her to start there from the beginning, instead of using a cheap way to make her run over from Archeos to Disgeran.

And finally, like Tolvo, it might be best to wait until I finish up the rune tablets. Given Leongarde's current tablets, they will not have a real mage. More a summoner/manipulator kind of thing. You'll get the details when the tablets are finished.
You can ofcourse always set up some basics for a character (or characters) and then see what to do with the runes.

[P.K.]

:P

hows the judging going!?!? DX

[E1Alpha]

Still waiting for certain judgings, though I've set a time limit up for myself.
If I don't receive a specific judge's judgings by that date, all of the judge's rating will be dropped.

[Tolvo]

Manipulator? Very interesting.

[P.K.]

alright.

you know I've kidna realizes an order of processes here.

Writers await the judges for the outcome so we can make after maths.
Judges wait on the DM and players to die or finish the fight :P
and Writers can help decide where those fights may or may not end up...

theres is probably more but I'm to lazy right now to think them out...

[Tolvo]

Hopefully they send that judging in soon, I'm interested to see if Richard's carelessness and lack of intelligence will earn him a victory or not.

[Jacogos]

The way I see it as GM, Leongarde earned the victory (whether or not it was by Richard's actions specifically :P) but what I have in the air is whether or not he gets the kill on Koron.

[Cfavano]

You should make Leongarde's 'mage' a cheerleader! And why I didn't have her start out there was for 2 reasons:

1. I thought it would make a good plot

2. to prevent (or at least try to) max from making snide comments towards Anna and myself.

[E1Alpha]

1. Should have kept it in P.I. writing. Not an INF.

2. I'd like to remind that I'm still the enforcer here, able to royally bitchslap anyone who complains when I deem it unnecessary.

[Tolvo]

You really shouldn't do things just because of my opinions.

And Jac, for the record I never did plan to kill Koron. I was just distracting him to keep the Scaravian forces without leadership. So he can live just fine, killing him was never the goal. I want to see if I managed to effect the battle through the general without actually killing him.

Remember, to me killing a general is still a fruitless effort realistically.

[Mfable]

I should probably point out that I will more than likely be gone for the majority of the day tomorrow. D:

[P.K.]

I'll have to say the same, I'll be gone tomorrow.

[Cfavano]

Hey, this is a possibility, my next open character slot, I might make a Leongarde character, but cannot decide on a pic. help Please?

[P.K.]

um.... the first?

[Mfable]

...I might make a Leongarde character...

This comment has pushed me back to Aeregos or Scaravus...

[Cfavano]

why?

- - - Updated - - -

I could instead make an archeos one.

[Tolvo]

You already have two characters, so this is far in the future.

No need to take it into consideration Fable.

[Cfavano]

right. I was just saying If I have an open slot. I'm not saying now, or even next chapter maybe. I'm just saying IF.

[Mfable]

I'm still tempted with the dartboard plan. Ha. You know what, one character will be Leongarde, the other Scaravus. There, my mind has been made. Someone smack me if I change it.

[P.K.]

-le glomps- Scavy! pwes! I would love you for evers D:

Edit..

Wow lag... fail

Anyways XD yay!
DW I WILL slap you if you change it >:3

[Mfable]

I like being loved. I dislike being slapped.

[P.K.]

hey you told us to >:3

[Cfavano]

Anna likes being loved AND slapped XD. She's perfect.

[Mfable]

Indeed I did. Well, no going back now. My first character will probably be Leongarde. Second will be Scavy.

[P.K.]

TMi CF TMI....

[Mfable]

Apparently I gots to go. I will be back later tonight.

[Cfavano]

why?

[Tolvo]

Obviously the perfect woman is one you can hit.

Anyway, let's focus more on talking about Fable's possible long in the future hypothetical character rather than other things.

[P.K.]

I'll be on... maybe, very possibly early in the morning and then I shall be gone again...

[Cfavano]

no no no, it's the nature of our relationship. You wouldn't understand, and if I were to explain it, I'd be breaking a promise I made to PK.

[Tolvo]

I do understand, it's fairly common. You just word it very poorly.

I also agree with whatever promise that is if it involves you keeping your sex life to yourself.

[Cfavano]

You know, I always wondered...do the musketeers form firing lines and fire in volleys? or do they each pick their targets?

[Tolvo]

That is a good question since I've never seen it explained in the one battle they were in. Perhaps the battle end will contain that information.

[Cfavano]

Well, when and if I make a Leongarde chara, I'll RP them firing volleys. They make muskets much more effective.

- - - Updated - - -

and they shall march to fife and drum XD. Furthermore, are there bayonets?

[Cfavano]

I dedicate this to all the civilians of the realms (except disgeran):

They were summoned from the hillside
They were called in from the glen,
And the country found them ready
At the stirring call for men.
Let no tears add to their hardships
As the soldiers pass along,
And although your heart is breaking
Make it sing this cheery song:

Keep the Home Fires Burning,
While your hearts are yearning,
Though your lads are far away
They dream of home.
There's a silver lining
Through the dark clouds shining,
Turn the dark cloud inside out
'Til the boys come home.

Overland there came a pleading,
"Help a nation in distress."
And we gave our glorious laddies
Honour bade us do no less,
For no gallant son of freedom
To a tyrant's yoke should bend,
And a noble heart must answer
To the sacred call of "Friend."

Keep the Home Fires Burning,
While your hearts are yearning,
Though your lads are far away
They dream of home.
There's a silver lining
Through the dark clouds shining,
Turn the dark cloud inside out
'Til the boys come home

[Jacogos]

So how's everyone doin'?

[Tolvo]

I don't think we are supposed to talk about that in here.

[Cfavano]

Jaco, look at my question, which pic should I use?

[Tolvo]

I'd suggest a new one with more practical armor, a helmet, and a real sword.

[Cfavano]

don't they all have practical armor?

[Tolvo]

Not to work alongside Leongarde troops, two of them have completely bare bellies and assumingly lower backs, as well as faces. The woman has armor that would have an easy striking point since the chest area is mostly flat on her armor. Of course, no helm either.

That's something that always annoys me, when they give women giant breast slots on their armor. That is actually a really huge design flaw, when women did wear armor it was only slightly larger in the chest than a man's suit, like centimeters. They just had their breasts squashed and held in place by a girdle like device or something, along with using the armor to hold them down.

[Cfavano]

Well, that's all that's in the pic. When you pose for a picture, you usually have your helmet off. I'm surprised you didn't comment that she was fully clothed.

- - - Updated - - -

they have helmets, they just aren't shown.

[Jacogos]

Yeah, good luck finding any pictures of women in sensible armor.

[Cfavano]

hey hey hey. Agrias is dressed sensibly -byo- She wouldn't be part of the lionsguard if she wasn't

[Tolvo]

Well I'd suggest also listing the helms then. Since Leongarde seems to have Renaissance armor available it is perfectly reasonable to have a helm with a face guard that can be raised to allow vision. Usually Knights would leave it raised when out of combat, then lower it when engaging an enemy at close quarters, so that they couldn't just have a blade slide across their nose and blind them. So try for one with a proper guard.

[Cfavano]

They'll have a helm on when it battle. Thou Gaffgarion (the middle one) would fit more in disgeran.

[E1Alpha]

Like you said, Cf. If you'd go for Disgeran, I'd indeed go for the first or third picture.

[P.K.]

Yo!
not on to long but I'm going to be gone all day O-o

[Tolvo]

I'll also be occupied as well, Dark Souls event and what not. But I'll stop by when I can if something is being talked about.

[Cfavano]

first or third for disgeran?

[E1Alpha]

My bad, I meant Leongarde

[Cfavano]

Yeah, the middle one looks like a blackguard. Note, E1, whatever pics I don't use, you are free to use.

[Mfable]

I shall make my characters naked! (kidding)

[Cfavano]

on that note, time and time again, max has brought up the subject of armor. to that, I add this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTGh0EMmMC8

[Love Amore]

That armor would have so much sideboob if she wasn't wearing her bra underneath... Wouldn't even protect what the guys are CLAIMING it would protect. lol

[Cfavano]

that was kinda the joke, Anna XD

[Love Amore]

I thought the joke was that it was mocking how girls never get real armor and also how a lot of guys think boobs are the most (or one of the most) important parts of a woman...

[Cfavano]

well, that's what I mean. the armor. that was the joke.

[Love Amore]

I know, I was just pointing out that the armor wouldn't have even protected her boobs. Which I thought was funny cause that's what they were claiming needed protecting.

[Cfavano]

oh, anna, you're a card XD

[E1Alpha]

*slaps back on topic*

That was all

[Cfavano]

Oiy! max started that topic

[Tolvo]

I mentioned it off hand a few pages ago, in regards to what sort of armor set you wanted to use, and why I thought the female set was a bad idea.

[Jacogos]

Dammit E1, I require updates on those Runes D:

[Cfavano]

me too! and your twin brother fable, too.

[Mfable]

Favano, you mention me too often. It's unhealthy. I know you idol me an all, but seriously. Too much man love.

[Love Amore]

No such thing Fable, if it's dangerous/there can be too much of it it's not really love.

[P.K.]

um I'm not going to ask what I missed.

[Cfavano]

I don't have a guy crush one you. I have a guy crush on Kamina. You and E1 are just so very much alike.

[Mfable]

I was just being a smart ass. -monacle2-

[Cfavano]

*Bro hugs* That's one thing I like about you, Fable, old chap!

[Mfable]

Honestly, I don't know anyone who doesn't like something about me. I'm just epic. -guy-
I am really in the mood to make a character of some sort now.

[Love Amore]

*knows of a roleplay where you could make a badass pirate but doesn't mention that there is a link in my signature cause I can't talk about other RPs here*

Why don't guys just hug each other normal? Why does it have to be a "bro hug" or a "man hug"?

[P.K.]

make one? :P

[Mfable]

Boss man needs to talk more. I rarely ever see him post!

[Eddren]

Because hugs are banned in the man world?
Here, how about this. Why don't you go over to some of your friends and just punch 'em as hard as you can on the shoulder as a greeting. I'm sure they'd love that.

[Tolvo]

It's because a hug between two men is something special, it's like watching your child be born or seeing the film RoboCop, some things are just special. And you need to really give yourself to the moment to take it all in, and you'll never forget it.

[Cfavano]

Yeah. We men share a special bond with each other, the likes of which women just can't understand.

[Mfable]

Man hugs and bro hugs can be normal hugs. We just call them that to preserve our masculinity.

[E1Alpha]

Oi! Topic! Respect it!

And fable, I hardly post lately because I'm trying to finetune my rune tables and work out the flaws before posting them, while waiting for my final judgings.

[The Imposter]

I'm almost positive this convo is extremely similar to one we had in chapter two....

Anyways as great as hugs are they have nothing to do with Chapter 3!

[Cfavano]

I wonder how Rai hugs?

[Love Amore]

All hugs are special though, in their own way... And they have everything to do with everything, lol.

Except, I suppose, chapter 3

[P.K.]

no comment...

[Tolvo]

Going back to radio silence then.

[Eddren]

'Fine tuning and working out the flaws' better mean 'this is going to be out in the next few bloody hours.'

[Mfable]

Let boss man take his time! Running this kind of rp must be quite time consuming.

[Eddren]

Yeah, it is, but he could have alleviated some of that impatience by giving us at least a basic idea of what we'd have to work with. But nope. He wants to keep it all a biiig surprise. So he gets an impatient player who wants to be able plan out his character.

[P.K.]

oh calm down Ed

[Cfavano]

trying to get edd to clam down, is like trying to get Rarity to roll around in a mud puddle.

[Eddren]

Especially when Rarity's been trying to keep her hair nice and clean for three bloody weeks while someone sat there talking about how amazing it would look if she'd just wait for a little longer.
I don't like waiting. I hate surprises. And I want to be able to know what in the bloody hell my Character is supposed to be capable of. Because, you know, that's what helps me get an idea of how I'm supposed to PLAY my damn character. Been saying this since we were told we'd have no idea whatsoever when the tablets were coming out or how they were doing or what would be on them.

[P.K.]

Maybe he shouldn't have told us about them in the first place then we would not be anticipating them and having this problem >.>

[Eddren]

Wasn't even going to worry about them in the least when he DID tell us, except then he decided 'Well, you should REAAALLY wait on your character until I'M done!"
Screw it. Maybe I really SHOULD just ignore the damn tablets and continue on with my previous idea. At least then I can PLAN for it.

[Tolvo]

Would you rather he take my approach?

"I have a new magic system in play, you'll know nothing about it, everyone will lose all of their abilities and in battle they must figure out what is and isn't possible for them."

There'd probably be quite a bit of rage at that.

[Eddren]

I'd prefer that if he's working on a project, he either keep it a secret or not keep it a secret at all. Or tell us from the beginning that it's supposed to be a Trial and Error system, where you don't actually KNOW if you'll succeed.
I DON'T want to have to sit here and wait while I'm told that my entire character relies on a single solitary system that hasn't been implemented, that I don't even know if it's EVER going to be implemented, because as far as I know, there's been no progress, and that apparently MAY or MAY NOT even CHANGE what my character does! Because, according to him, he's trying to retain as many abilities as possible. Well, where does that end and where does it begin?

[Tolvo]

Well it seems like the main faction related abilities stay, like a Firanos character casting fire, but the more ambiguous ones, such as Oko's Shadow or Whispers, would be gone if he was alive. I think perhaps one thing would be to fine tune some of the terminology. Such as with the Disg magic paths he mentioned, the overall forms are so vague they could literally allow any spell to be cast. Meaning some factions will have more restrictive magic while others don't.

[Mfable]

I don't think talking about any of this serves much use, and might just cause more frustration.

[Tolvo]

Possibly.

[P.K.]

its sooo quite in here o-o

[Tolvo]

Well there really isn't anything to talk about until the next chapter.

[P.K.]

that is true.

hums....

[Jacogos]

It makes me all sorts of sad. Though I believe E1 set today or tomorrow as the deadline for judging.

[P.K.]

yay... maybe it well help me push past my fregen block...

[Jacogos]

Double-checked, it's today. He said he should be trying to get writing started by tomorrow.

[P.K.]

alright...

[E1Alpha]

Indeed. Seeing as my last judge has not given a single sign of life, I'll go on without those judgings. And then, once the results are out, intermetsos can be written.
I will be doing as little as possible in regards to intermetsos to get the rune tablets finished, so I'm gonna ask who can take over intermetso writing for other factions of possible.
So far, I have:

Firanos: ---
Leongarde: Imposter
Archeos: ---
Disgeran: Jacogos
Aeregos: ---
Scaravus: P.K.

If you want to be in charge of a faction writing, be sure to check up on the rules of official writers and give me a heads-up.

[Eddren]

I'll do Firanos.

[E1Alpha]

Alright, Edd

So the current score is:

Firanos: Eddren
Leongarde: Imposter
Archeos: ---
Disgeran: Jacogos
Aeregos: ---
Scaravus: P.K.

[The Imposter]

I don't think I'm the quickest man alive to be writing more than one intermetso....but if someone wanted to go splitzies on it or something I'd be willing to lend a hand.

[DoughGuy]

I'll take Archeos's writing

[E1Alpha]

Dealio, Dough

Firanos: Eddren
Leongarde: Imposter
Archeos: Doughguy
Disgeran: Jacogos
Aeregos: ---
Scaravus: P.K.

Now if only someone wants to take on Aeregos aswell, maybe Jacogos again if he has enough time. That's up to him, though.

Remember, though, Edd and Dough, if I don't like your writing, it's going to the bin :P
P.K., Jaco and Imposter have already proven themselves as writers, so they just have to go undergo a spelling check.

Oh, and also:
Jacogos... Your continious victories with Verm have created a monster... I never expected Cretoris would get at this point, but alas... He is the first of my NPCs to ascend to a higher difficulty.

[The Imposter]

Yeah what the hell....Is Cretoris going to turn on Dis?

[DoughGuy]

Cayanas battle is done!

- - - Updated - - -

E1 I'm not complaining at all, but I dont see how Archeos won at highperk when we didnt have any troops there

[P.K.]

Firanos: Eddren
Leongarde: Imposter
Archeos: Doughguy
Disgeran: Jacogos
Aeregos: ---
Scaravus: P.K.


P.K. Jaco and Imposter have already proven themselves as writers, so they just have to go undergo a spelling check.

That makes me feel good...
I'll see what I can do this round...

[P.K.]

BTW all we need is Aeregos right?

I can split it if some one wants Or I can try and do it by myself.

J? consider splitting with me?

[Jacogos]

Well I handled Aeregos last time, so I don't see any reason not to do it again. I have a little experience with their workings, so I'll take it, Pichu xD

I knew there would have to be SOME sort of bonus for keeping an NPC alive xD Even if Verm gets no real credit for it, I feel rather accomplished at that.

Did you hope that it would be some other NPC? :P I rather like Cretoris. Unintelligent as he is, he's grown on my black heart.

[P.K.]

lol? hey I did their Opening XD so I know a little of the workings to!

[Tolvo]

Seems like nearly every battle has gone as I expected so far.

[Jacogos]

Seems like nearly every battle has gone as I expected so far.

Even Lionglade?!?!

Dude, that surprised the SHIT out of me, you harlot.

[Tolvo]

It didn't surprise me in the least bit, remember.

Cretoris has the potential of being the strongest NPC in the entire RP. Couple him with the Dark Prophet H, who is the most versatile Caster, and you have yourself a formidable force. Sending Ra'shor, the Nuclear Warhead, is even risky against those two.

[P.K.]

wow... wow Poor leon... even after winning against us... wow.

[Cfavano]

The blitzkrieg continues!

[Jacogos]

I've only just realized the former, while the latter I've assumed since the beginning when I saw what/who he was. I actually believe that Ra'Shor is one of the few who could stand against Cretoris/Heirophind minus the faction leaders. Purely because he is quite literally a demigod, whereas the other two "invincible" NPCs that have fought them were constructs of magic, which can be influenced rather easily depending on the force facing them. Heirophind and Cretoris's soul-drinking weapon are perfectly suited for that.


wow... wow Poor leon... even after winning against us... wow.

Yeah, Leongarde is... rather boned if this keeps up. What I'm curious about, though, is if we're allowed to march on the capital now or if Disgeran has to capture ALL of Leongarde's territories before it can strike at the capital (Scaravus taking back Gero is also included in that musing).

[Tolvo]

Logically you guys can wipe out the capital easily right now, unless Reinard himself is powerful enough to challenge Cretoris which I'm doubting.

Actually after thinking it over, Ra'shor is more powerful than a nuke. He can wipe out an entire nation, that's a far larger blast zone than a nuke.

[Jacogos]

I can't see Cretoris matching ANY of the leaders at the moment. He might be an advanced NPC now, but I don't think that's more than "halfway" between normal NPC and NPC Leader. He might be able to give Reinard a run for his money, but unless there's a PC there with the Devourer, it will be decidedly the King's victory.

[Tolvo]

Incorrect.

The Leaders seem to base their power out of the meragia they take on, gaining powers based off of them.

Reinard, "I now how the fur, mane, strength, and speed of a lion! I can also shout so strongly it knocks enemies away."

Cretoris-"SO you have normal flesh, fur, are weaker and slower than me, and you can shout? Sounds like a cake walk!"

Reinard could probably be killed by a stray arrow really.

[Tolvo]

Remember Jac, magically Scaravius and Leongarde are the weakest nations, so Cretoris for example could single handed wipe out the entire Leongarde army. They also have the weakest leaders based upon information given, so by now Cretoris is probably already powerful enough to take out either nation himself alone.

[Jacogos]

I'm not even going to argue xD I'll believe what I believe based on what I know of this game's mechanics and you can believe what you believe based on what you know of the mechanics :P

[Tolvo]

You forget, I am the Realms of War prophet!

[Eddren]

Except for the fact that it's been said already that his true strength has yet to be revealed. He could be perfectly capable of singlehandedly wiping out Cretoris with a flick of his blade.

[Tolvo]

If that were the case I'd ask what the purpose of any of the NPC's or armies is then.

[Eddren]

Because it just so happens that maximum strength and endurance are two completely different things, and he can only flick his blade maybe a thousand times a day.

[Tolvo]

That would be enough to wipe out an entire army though, probably ten flicks of a blade like that would be.

[Eddren]

I said it could kill Cretoris, not kill ten men. Don't be silly: Being able to cut a single large thing to death doesn't mean you can ALSO cut many SMALL things to death.
It means he can kill, at max, one-thousand men. And if it's an army of two-thousand men, well, he's fucked.

[Tolvo]

If he can cut through the metal of Cretoris like it is nothing, he is using enough force to destroy cities. He could more than likely cut through the earth beneath him with that much power and destroy an entire battlefield. Who knows what sort of wind force he could produce.

[Eddren]

Since when did you pretend to know everything about Cretoris's armor?
Do you HONESTLY think E1 would allow someone to have armor enough to be the equivalent of a City?
Do you see Heretics pouring out of him, or walking down to the bakery to pick up some bread?
'Cause I sure didn't.

[Tolvo]

Do you know how hard it is to cut through plate metal? With medieval weaponry it is physically impossible. Using very specialized sawblades with the power of machinery and using extremely small fine edges only put on one area causing none of the force to dissipate, we can cut through it these days. If you had a jet plane with razor thin wings it could cut through a set of plate armor after having built up speed and having fuel powering it.

If the single flick of a blade can do such a thing, amplify that into a powerful swing and understand the power which Reinard would then wield. With that sort of force using a normal sword, he could possibly break the sound barrier.

[Eddren]

You're also assuming he's using a normal sword. Shit, for all you know, maybe he got a Sword that he stole from a Fieran Mage or something, and it's capable of superheating pure metals to extreme temperatures. Or maybe he can just cut through all forms of steel.

[Tolvo]

That is possible, but all you said was cutting through Cretoris with the flick of his blade, so I based it off of what you said.

[Eddren]

That can literally mean anything, so basing it off of what I said would be kind of difficult.
For instance, maybe his sword deals a single small wound for every soul a being's absorbed, simply on contact with anything they're touching.

[Tolvo]

E1, you listed Lionglade as an Ekros Victory.

[E1Alpha]

I did? My bad, will change!

[Tolvo]

Now time to see if Richard got a promotion, or a dunce cap for being so suicidal.

[E1Alpha]

Oh! I knew I was forgetting a promotion!
Thanks for reminding me Tolvo.

[Eddren]

At first I was looking at that going, 'Really? I mean, he was pretty stupid, but the General there seemed to approve.'

[Tolvo]

Well one of the reasons he was also so stupid was because he was against Scaravius. Unless he ran into ten archers at once, or two Scarabs with pincers and tails, they had nothing in their arsenal that could really do well against him. If that were any other nation, Richard would have probably died in his third post.

[Jacogos]

I think you misjudge how lenient I was being, Tolvo xD

[Tolvo]

Well hopefully next Chapter Scaravius will be buffed to better deal with other armies, so that I can't just run at things blindly to earn a ranking up like I did this time.

"Scaravius has crossbows?...Oh god."

[Cfavano]

actually, bows with bodkin arrows would do better.

[Tolvo]

Not against plate.

[Cfavano]

yeah against plate. that's why they were invented. specifically to pierce plate armor.

[Tolvo]

Except in tests, with bare minimum plate armor, they were only capable of barely piercing them in perfect conditions, and not even enough for a kill.

So I would not rely on them for piercing plate, now piercing the chain mail in between the plate that's another story.

[P.K.]

O-o
Just aim for the cracks adn places that bend...

[E1Alpha]

Attention: I would like to direct all your attention to the new table I have added in the first post of the Warriors thread. From now on, this will dictate how much official influence you have in accordance to your military rank. I have also added another suprise benefit.

[Jacogos]

I'm really excited and I have no idea what this is yet

*poofs away*

[The Imposter]

I saw that. Seems pretty sick!

[P.K.]

ep!

[Jacogos]

Yeah, that's fuckin' awesome. But Kaizan has such a long way to go T.T

[E1Alpha]

Indeed.
Do your best, and you'll end up with not only a rather large army at your disposal, but also with the ability to order full-scale assaults.

[E1Alpha]

My genius has blessed me once more, for I just realized the PERFECT way to settle the entire revival issue:

A duel in the afterlife against me. If you win, you will be revived. If you lose, your character is gone forever.
These duels would take place in between Chapters and give you a fair chance to earn your character's revival.
The opponent I will be playing as will become more difficult with the more you die.

Opinions anyone?

[Tolvo]

I forgot to mention, Richard has a hidden ability that lets him become a Lord General instantly.

I'll just be taking that army thank you very much.

[E1Alpha]

*shoots Richard onto Isla Cruada* See ya, Lord General

[Tolvo]

"Men, follow me to the Isle! We have no navy, so we shall swim in our armor!"

It was the largest recorded mass suicide in history.

[Cfavano]

Larger than Jonestown?

[E1Alpha]

Guys, I asked for opinions. Don't make me slap you for them. *slaps Tolvo and Cf*
That was in advance.

[The Imposter]

So does the duel eliminate the ability to venture out to revive NPC's? Or someone else's PC?

[Tolvo]

I never even saw that post, I really dislike it. I don't find that it fits with the lore of the world and it still doesn't provide an explanation for permanent death of NPC's which is a big issue to me.

[Jacogos]

I kinda agree with Tolvo on that one.

[E1Alpha]

You dislike everything, Tolvo, so I gave up on making you happy, hence the slap in advance <3

And no, Imposter, you will still be able to revive other characters.

[Tolvo]

When people ask for criticism, I give it.

[E1Alpha]

I know, Tolvo xD I was expecting negative criticism from you honestly, as you'd rather see revival completely dropped, but it's a shame that you're a minority there.

[Tolvo]

Edd and I discussed a method of revival which I found acceptable within the lore, but I believe it was ignored at large.

[E1Alpha]

Remind me. You know how some items tend to get shoved by post spam.

[Cfavano]

he said only characters that are 'worth it' should be revived. Not any new charas or ones who's players aren't 'good' enough to make their characters 'worth it'

[E1Alpha]

And that's where I disagree for the sake of fair RP:
A death through some bullshit can always happen, which is why these battles seem perfect to me. If you really want your character back, you'll put effort in the battle. If not, byebye.
But still I'd also punish reckless characters that die again and again, letting the battles scale up to the point where it's impossible to beat.

[Tolvo]

Completely incorrect Cf.

The idea was that revival would be known, and that people could be brought back. Even NPC's, which is why after killing important figures, the armies would make sure to destroy the bodies so that important figures could not be brought back. Thus, low ranking characters who aren't known could be revived simply. Since there would be no reason for the enemy to go for such targets when there are more important matters. Generals and such would be targets sought for destruction of course due to their importance.

Making it so that if you stay at a low rank, you have more room for error. If you rank up, with your rewards you get the higher risk of the enemy seeking the destruction of your character's body. It would explain why Generals don't come back, while players can.

[E1Alpha]

True, Tolvo. But if people are aware of this, then the body destroying thing can also be abused. It was a good idea indeed, were it not that I don't trust all roleplayers equally here.

[Tolvo]

I also think the "bullshit" deaths you mentioned should be cut down upon or completely removed from the RP if balance and being competitive is the goal.

[Cfavano]

But just because they're a general, doesn't mean they are well known. I bet you never heard of General Edward 'Bulldog' Braddock.

[Tolvo]

"Who is leading the enemy to battle?"

"I don't fucking know, what do I look like to you, a competent strategist or something?"

[P.K.]

My genius has blessed me once more, for I just realized the PERFECT way to settle the entire revival issue:

O-o um... hold please...

Rofls hard

Rofls more

hums...


But just because they're a general, doesn't mean they are well known. I bet you never heard of General Edward 'Bulldog' Braddock.

Braddock? isent that the one guy who led some red coats and then was ambushed and killed...

[Cfavano]

well, if you look at some of the strategies employed in past battles....

Leongarde: Blow up our own walls!
Archeos: Use metal to block electricity
Disgeran: Keep firing(figuratively), Assholes! (though, that one actually works)

[Tolvo]

Don't forget Korron.

"Well, better leave my army to its own devices and go alone trying to kill their general, who is surrounded by troops. What could possibly go wrong?"

[Cfavano]

Yeah. I doubt there are many geniuses as generals.

[Tolvo]

The new Leongarde one seems to know what he is actually doing so far.

[Cfavano]

Oh, wait, I almost forgot Aeregos...

CHARGE INTO THE MIST THAT WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!

[Tolvo]

Archeos too lol.

[Cfavano]

I know, but that doesn't count because Aeregos did it first, and Archeos already had their screw up.

[P.K.]

which was O_O

[Cfavano]

Shani. KIDDING XD

the lightning and paladins.


Oh, on a completely unrelated note... I beat edd.

[P.K.]

har har...

you what?...

[Mfable]

I want to make a character. Can I make a character yet? :oi:

[E1Alpha]

You can if you keep some room for change with my rune tablets on the way

[Jacogos]

You can if you keep some room for change with my rune tablets on the way

Which should be done right about....

Now.

Patience is a virtue. A rushed product isn't going to be as good as it would if we all relax and let E work at his own pace.
