Title: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: Xorlak on March 30, 2008, 01:55:35 PM
Welcome to Dark Age Legends, chapter 17 sign ups! Chapter 17 will pick up where chapter 16 left off, but due to the break in the action, this is an excellent point to jump in if you haven't already. If you haven't been following the story the entire way through, don't worry. You are not expected to read the entire RP-- just the rules below. However, if you never played in a forum RP before (particularly this one) you may want to read a random page or two in the middle to get a sense of how everything works.

Chapter 16 Prelude

Three years have passed since the Dark Emperor Retan was defeated by an inexplicable column of light from the sky.  Since then, the limping nations of Gaian have banded together to prevent another such power from threatening the world again.  Thus the Gaian Federation was born...

Yet despite their combined numbers, they are still no match for the same burning fire from the heavens that destroyed Retan... The Kandarinian Sovereignty has risen from the ashes, a new and stronger nation, hungry for the power the Dark Empire once wielded and more...

Rules

Dark Age Legends Rules (http://http://www.darkagegames.net/dalpedia/index.php/Rules)

All players must read and understand the rules.  Continuing Chapter 16 can give them a brief skim, as there are no changes from last time.

As per usual, update/create your character's bio page in DALpedia, then post a link to it here.  New players post here first, so we can approve your characters.  New players will also need to contact me for a DALpedia account.

Chapter 17 begins Sunday, April 6th!

"Weapons of Mass Destruction"  (Heh...)

Blast... just realized that it might make sense for regiment 4's insignia to have four stars as opposed to three... probably should tweak that. ;)

Are people about done re-uploading images?  I'll download the entire directory for backup this weekend so we'll at least have that much saved in case random disaster strikes again.
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: Dude Man on March 31, 2008, 02:25:48 PM
Pretty much, yeah. For me at least. I don't know about everyone else. Yet I do know that more than half of the pictures uploaded are mine Wink.
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups

I still have a few things to re-upload, but if you do it in the weekend, that should be enough time for me to get everything in.

I'm gonna try something new this chapter. Just gonna have one character for a while until it looks like I'm getting better. The one character is going to be Bjendell Mjord (http://http://www.darkagegames.net/dalpedia/index.php/Bjendell_Mjord). He's my favorite for right now.

ALRIGHT!!! Let's get this chapter on!

Mikado's the new Drannic. GG.
Will the RP start the next day (RP-time-wise)? Or is there a break?
Xorlak, just concerning Vincent - do you have any plans with him that would benefit from me knowing about them?

For those whom this concerns: the new school forum is LAME. Richard's and Mik's posts make me want to kill myself, grammar-wise. They keep forgetting the most obvious comma placements, and ironically, they're the ones who bitch about proper grammar the most.
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: Dude Man on April 04, 2008, 04:55:52 PM
I'm pretty sure the next chapter is going to take place just the next day. If there is a break, then it would make the story lines really weird for everyone (mainly me).

For those whom this concerns: I agree. I mainly hate their posts because they act like total smart-asses. They're too cocky for even my standards.
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: Xorlak on April 04, 2008, 05:48:27 PM
Yeah, we'll do the next morining thing.

Was going to have him at the end of his little "vacation" (heh...) and have him ready to pick up/join the violence if you want him to do something.  If not, I have a little side action planned for him.

Hey, don't worry about it.  I don't even bother apologizing, myself.  (Heh...)

Though now I've begun sowing the seeds of my next massive multi-chapter-spanning story arc.  Mwa ha ha ha...
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups

yeah sorry for not posting as well. Life is hectic at the moment. Will as soon as I can, thank you.

Post by: D. Ein on April 12, 2008, 10:03:01 PM
...Unfortunately, an apology has to come from me, as well.

I'm getting ready for my job (as a programming tester), which involves reading quite a lot of books. This means that it's highly unlikely that I put a post in regularly. Sorry.
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: Ted Der on April 13, 2008, 03:12:51 PM
Argh! Time is going by so quickly. I'll post eventually, but I really wanted Akran to travel with Ein and Co. so I will only start the excuses once they start posting.  ^^

P.S. This is not an excuse... or is it? Actually it might be. Oops!
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups

Post by: Drannic_Lord01 on April 16, 2008, 03:39:16 PM
Hmm.. I'm not too sure, but I think it might be a good idea to just lock the RP for a bit and extend the break. Nobody can find any time to post anymore. Maybe we should just stop for a bit until summer. Meh, but that's just me. I've only been here for so long...
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: Xorlak on April 16, 2008, 08:14:12 PM
You have all failed me!  All of you!!

Well this is a reverse.  I actually feel like going on and everyone else wants a break.  (Heh...)  What do other people think?
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: Ted Der on April 17, 2008, 09:45:24 AM
It's fine with me if you guys keep on going. I might just sit out this chapter. It's my final year at highschool and my imagination is being used up in numerous musical projects for my co-op class. It's not that I can't find the time to post, it's just that I need to give my head rest. Sad  Trying to keep up with everyone's story as well as construct one of my own will kill my brain cells creating a chemical reaction with the fluids in my brain causing my head to burst into flames. Right now I can't afford to waste the fire department's time with too many frequent 911 calls. I'm high on caffine right now. Signing off.
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: Dude Man on April 17, 2008, 02:19:22 PM
I'm okay with going on. But extending the break would not hurt.
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: D. Ein on April 18, 2008, 09:18:58 AM
Okay, I think I can find an opening here or there. I'm going to force a post out of myself, see how good it is... Maybe if I get inspiration, everyone else will also magically find it. ^_^

Ah, I'm so important, aren't I just?

In other words, I don't think we should be doing the final decision right now. We should wait about another week, then see what people think.
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: Xorlak on April 18, 2008, 05:46:06 PM
Okay, we'll wait a bit before making a decision.  But if we get to the point where the last five posts are mine, then it's time for a break. (Heh...)

I remember I had a dream that you restarted a chapter overnight for no reason, a long time ago. For some reason this kind of reminds me of this.

Yes, my life is so empty that I have dreams involving DAL. Razz

Post by: Dude Man on April 20, 2008, 09:28:56 AM
Oh my god I had another dream about DAL. But not just about the RP, but the DAL world itself. It was like cell-shaded 3D anime esque.

It was actually so awesome, I just remembered it when I logged on. What I can remembered from it is that Duilin, and I think a few other characters, perhaps Ein was their. Were fighting. I myself I believe was a character, but I think I took the perspective of Duilin a couple times I think once Ein (or whoever he was, I remember some good guy wearing grey).

It was a battle around a castle keep, can't remember if we were defending or attacking, but there were lizardmen all around and we were fighting them, and I remember Duilin picked me up a and flew me around to do something epic and then he summoned a huge Thunder Rage and started pwning noobs. Ein was using the super ninja moves and stuff. We rested inside an impenetrable metal box, that was part of a carriage (like those metal horse pulled tanks in chapter 4).

Anyways, just thought I'd share that with you guys. I'm gonna try and post on the actual RP now. I think that dream might have motivated me a little.
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: D. Ein on April 20, 2008, 12:22:09 PM
Indeed. I think I'd gotten my inspiration back, too. I suppose that means that I'm against another break.

Yeah, I think I'm back in the zone for now.

But I think that dream might have had something to do with me wishing I had the motivation to post on DAL, watching a lot of DBZ, recently seeing the movie Forbidden Kingdom and playing that Bleach Game for the Wii. That definitely goes on my top 10 for my coolest dreams. Razz

DBZ is always good inspiration. ;)

*bans everyone and RPs by himself*

So is this a temporary disinterest, or has everyone gotten tired of the RP?  If people want to do a break, that's fine with me.  My schedule is unchanging, so we can start up again when other people have more time.

But if people genuinely don't feel like playing anymore, I propose we give this thing a proper ending with a giant crazy epic final battle, rather than just let it fade out.

Thoughts?

Me: I'm all good for it. Fully stoked, pumped, and ready to go. I was simply not posting for a while because I expected someone other than you to post, Xorlak.

DM's had a lot of things going on lately, so he may be on and off. Dark Spartan seems to have pulled an English visit on us - said he's back, then said that he'll be right back, and left without notice. Don't know about the other guys.

My point is that Atari Dumbledore is from Porkslope Turkeyhandle.

I actually wasn't referring to you with my quote, I was referring to myself - that the moment I start feeling all pumped for DAL, everyone else decides to slow down.

Hey folks,

I'm going to end the chapter this weekend and then we can take the rest of May off.  We can start up again in June sometime when more people have free time.  It'll pick up exactly where the last chapter left off.   Sound good?
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups

Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: D. Ein on May 08, 2008, 04:55:54 PM
Well, the reason I didn't post was because of my job interview - which I successfully completed today. So I would pick up, but I guess not, since others are also willing to stop for a bit.

Also, I was thinking about this - I'm kinda getting tired of running the Sovereignty, and I don't have any comfortable means to get rid of them. Is there any way I can just kinda let them be the generic bad guys, and pretty much start over? New characters, new everything?
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: Xorlak on May 09, 2008, 02:11:54 PM
No problem, Jenia.  I'll try to resist any M/CDAA urges on Phoeincia for a while... (Heh...)

Congrats, Ein.  Think you got it?

And what the heck?  You have the coolest characters, and you want to dump them?  Seriously, sarcastic lich overlord, crazy blind sword lady, a military hierarchy that's actually interesting as opposed to generic, etc., etc.  There's no rule that says you need to continue updating your characters or can't bring in new ones, but I think you should reconsider. ;)
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: D. Ein on May 09, 2008, 03:39:33 PM
Shocked

I didn't know the Sovereignty was that awesome...
Now I know. Very Happy

I'm gonna keep going...!

And yeah, I think I did. The interview went well, not as smooth as I had hoped, but well nevertheless. Haven't got a response yet, they said they'll call me in the coming week.
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: Ted Der on May 09, 2008, 05:59:00 PM
I kind of want to continue, but whatever. Maybe the break will be good. Or not. I don't know. Stop asking me questions! Ahhh!

Wait. Nevermind.
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: Mikado on May 20, 2008, 02:39:54 PM
You know what would be really nice? If we would make the next chapter happen in a parallel world, were we have new characters which actually have something to do with each other and form a team instead of being scattered all over the world. This would give us some change, and the inactivity problems came from the RP having too much of the same.

Then when he would get bored of it, we could make them go to Gaian to continue the bigger RP. A fresh start is always nice for a short time and something new would sound cool. Then back to the old after we got un-bored of it.
Since we suddenly all have our own countries and play on world scale, after playing back to mini scale we would love to play big scale again.

And if the parallel roleplay would suck, we would just toss a gaint comet at it and go back to Gaian. Win-Win-Win-Lose-Win situation!

Or I'm just going crazy. Whatcha think?
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: Dude Man on May 20, 2008, 03:12:02 PM
Um, well that's not a good idea right now. We are in the middle of something right now. But I do think that eventually we should try and maybe jump several generations later, perhaps. Just get a good fresh start. And maybe some of us would be able to keep some characters Wink.
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups

Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: Xorlak on May 21, 2008, 05:36:34 PM
Hmmm, the generation jumping is an interesting idea.  I am practically done with a lot of my characters, and I feel others are getting stale.  Perhaps we will consider this after wrapping things up this coming chapter.  Thoughts?

Assuming next chapter I can fix the mess I created in my own plot by bringing Draven out in an attempt to move the RP along faster... (Heh...)

Also, congrats, Ein!
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: D. Ein on May 21, 2008, 10:06:16 PM
Thanks!

And yes, I do have some ideas on the subject of generation jumping. I like the idea, myself, but I assume we could keep some of the characters through a random, unexplained cool way? Also, we'd have to decide what happens to the world meanwhile... Or, Xorlak could pull a Xorlak and just do it himself. Smile
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: Mikado on May 22, 2008, 10:37:22 AM
Wow, great Ein! Congrats.
And how will the "challenge" go?

Yes, the generation jump is way better. But it could be a pretty long jump. Only cool characters would survive. The whole reason that this RP gets a little messy is because of the world scale and a little lose storyline now. So maybe we could make the world not in a very good state. The wars and civil wars have pretty much divided the huge countries into small villages. I guess each player could have some kind of village, and the thing would start with maybe a village council calling some villages together and the strongest warriors from them to defeat the new enemy.. who knows.
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: D. Ein on June 02, 2008, 02:49:27 PM
The "challenge" is slow, as the guy is currently working (read: doing nothing) on our project in Programming.

EDIT: Xorlak, when are the signups opening?
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: Xorlak on June 03, 2008, 08:11:45 PM
Possibly this weekend if people are interested.

I'm thinking we also use the 18 sign ups thread to come to a decision as to whether we want to do the generation jump and if 18 will be the last chapter set in this timeline.  I'll get my thoughts organized then.
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: Dude Man on June 04, 2008, 03:11:02 PM
It just depends how much we get done this chapter. Like we need an 'ending' for the 'Kandarin Saga'.

Plus the current Talonscar subplot I have going.
Title: Re: Dark Age Legends, Chapter 17 -- Sign Ups
Post by: Ted Der on June 05, 2008, 02:55:43 PM
How about the Federation construct some sort of device that would let a few characters 'travel' ahead a 100 years or so instead of every character finding their own way to do so. The 'evil' characters could find another way. This could also be some sort of plot idea that the only way to escape the coming darkness is to do so or something or other.

Just an idea, and I guess this'll only work if the characters that people want to keep over the generation gap are part of the federation.

Yeah, but we would need to find a reason why the characters would want to do that though, so it works for the story.

I'm sure Xorlak can think of a good idea. Razz

That would kinda defeat the purpose of the whole "fresh start" concept we have going on here... (Heh...)

But yeah, DM is right.  We should take our time and resolve the current story arcs properly rather than worrying if this will be the last chapter in this timeline.  Although, having grown bored last chapter, I skipped the meat of mine and am in position to end it quickly, he he he...

I'm thinking when it's all said and done, we have a good "happy ending" to usher in an "era of peace" that marks the time skipped before starting again X years down the road.  We could certainly set up some history in that time period as well, including more empires or heroes that have risen and fallen.  Of course, other ideas are welcome!

There may be one or two characters I might actually want to keep after the story arc. Depending on how it goes.

Well I would only keep Puco and Czernn, which both don't age... so it would made logic. I think the best Chapter end would be "Most is destroyed, but we live happily on the ruins." thing. But we'll see I'll guess. This whole thing makes me want to RP again Smile
