Well, you see the reason there are so many gods, in the game is because...

It all started a long time ago, when Cyber Wolf used to play, and his character Tsar was from another dimension, and he talked to Draven a lot. Duilin never really met him, but he later turned out to be his brother, and Draven was Duilin's father, even though Duilin is six years older then him, yet you see it was all done with time travel. However Draven transformed into Abodahon, and cloned himself and then went back into Draven. However that also lead to the creations of gods, because when Draven cloned himself he accidentally invented gods, and Zeros' was angry with that, and so that my friend explains why Valos has a thing for the colour purple.

Oh wait...no?

[Trent]

Of course! It all makes sense now. Razz

Don't worry too much about my god character.

Mugen Seijin spun the Transcender around in his hand, tossing it around like a member of high school colorguard. It gathered more and more energy. "Now that Aura's in the Crimson Empire, there is no doubt her life will soon be threatened. I hope you understand, Tsu. I can only do this once. I'm not supposed to meddle with human dealings."

He will only fight once. Those are my current plans. I can't say the same for anyone stupid enough to invade his cloud antagonistically. Razz

[D. Ein]

....Okay, DM.

Alright, I won't bother you folks about your god characters. Knock yourselves out, while good old human Ein will do his stuff the old fashioned way, without the god powers. Although this is controversial since magic IS a sort of a god power... Ah well.

[Xorlak]

Heh...

Yeah, I'm a bit worried about the direction things are going in terms of how strong characters are getting in general.  In one way, it's natural for the characters to get stronger. First we started with the fate of a single island, and even the most powerful attacks were constrained to it.  Now we're dealing with things that affect the entire planet (for the second time), as well as talking about separate universes and stuff...  And in order to keep up, other characters have to get stronger as well, which means others are going to get stronger in response, and so on...

Things are starting to get a little too unbelievable (things are supposed to be unrealistic in the first place with magic and all, but some cases are starting to go a little too far, heh...)  What's next?  A multiverse of multiverses?  Is that an omniverse?  (Heh...)

Of course the problem is, we can't really go back without removing the main characters.  Let's try to tone things down, though.

I can say now, though, that I don't think the connection with the "real world" works at all with this medieval themed RP.  You guys have made references to it, and knowing you, it's only a matter of time until someone jumps into a portal and lands in Chicago.  (Heh...)  And let's face it, characters talking about Hitler and calling each other fascists is pretty ridiculous.  So let's leave it at that.  The "real world" doesn't exist in this RP, and there is no way for characters to reach it or know what is going on there.  (Of course, this does not mean characters cannot do things like they are done in reality by coincidence.)

[D. Ein]

Joy, does this mean that if I kill someone, the planet actually won't blow up? w00t

[D. Ein]

i think i'm being too much of a know-it-all. I haven't been in the RP long enough for you to even pay attention to me, so... don't pay attention to me Smile

[Xorlak]

Heh, you've been in the RP long enough to contribute some interesting things.  Comments from all players are always welcome.

I can say now, though, that I don't think the connection with the "real world" works at all with this medieval themed RP. You guys have made references to it, and knowing you, it's only a matter of time until someone jumps into a portal and lands in Chicago. (Heh...) And let's face it, characters talking about Hitler and calling each other fascists is pretty ridiculous. So let's leave it at that. The "real world" doesn't exist in this RP, and there is no way for characters to reach it or know what is going on there. (Of course, this does not mean characters cannot do things like they are done in reality by coincidence.)

If there are an infinite number of possible universes, then the possibility of reaching the "real" one is virtually nil anyway. Also note that there are infinite universes that are similar to ours. Just because Haraldur mentioned a universe with Hitler, Fascists, Revolution and Civil War in Spain does not mean that he visited our universe. Indeed, in the universe Haraldur visited, it is more than likely that the revolution in Spain did succeed. (Maybe this should be mentioned later in the RP?). A universe where a revolution did take place in Spain would be completely unrecognisable from ours (which is why the Spanish Revolution and Civil War is my current obsession).

Therefore, I think it should be possible to visit any universe, but to shy well away from universes close to ours in both scenario and time (1950s UK might be OK, but not 1990s etc.).

[D. Ein]

Haraldur, after reading that i felt like someone whacked me with a hammer over my head... Could we perhaps just have one universe? Perhaps an extra dimension wouldn't hurt, if someone needs to flee from a battle Smile

[Xorlak]

Heh, okay...

I don't really like the infinite number of possible dimensions idea either, especially with infinite variations of one dimension.  I mean, this sort of thinking just makes stories confusing and weird.  Soon we'll have people traveling through dimensions and gathering different versions of themselves to unite and create an army of themselves or something. (Heh...)

So there won't be any more infinite dimensions.  There still can be a lot of dimensions, but each one is unique, and none resemble each other (e.g. there is no other "Gaian" out there in which Romme survived, etc.)

So in that sense, there are no "Earth" dimensions.  No Hitlers, Spains, etc.

I'm not expecting people to go back and try to explain or change what their characters were talking about when referencing Earth.  You can just leave it at that and not do any further referencing.

Now of course Haraldur, I realize this poses a problem for your character who is trying to build a technocratic society based on observations from Earth.  I've no problem with this, but maybe the ideas are his own instead, or he got them from some other source.  I don't have any problem with people doing things resembling the real world, just no more referencing it directly.  (However, from the brief read of the website, I don't really see how their issues are related to medieval themed Gaian.  Heh...)

Anyway, I hate to lay down such limiting rules (I'll type these up nicely for you next chapter), but I just want to keep the theme of the RP in tact.  (Not that any direction the above could have lead the RP would have been "bad", but I'd just like to keep it a medieval themed RP based on the planet Gaian.  Heh...)

[Dude Man]

Aw, now I can't have Duilin drive a tank with Samuel L. Jackson and Abraham Lincoln through the Crimson Capital, while Rink and Valos jam with Aerosmith outside.


Yeah, yeah. Sure thing, I've gotcha on the quantum-omni-tele-dimension stuff.

[Trent]

No, no. You'd have to jam with Metallica. Razz

[D. Ein]

Hey trent, sick new avatar. I think i'm gonna make a new one for myself too Very Happy

EDIT: Spent 6 hours straight on it. Photoshop CS2. A masterpiece.

[Trent]

Thanks. Sophia remade it for me.

[Dude Man]

Meh, I'm bored and ready for the next chapter. When's it gonna start?
