Wow, we've been doing DAL for two years as of March 21st.  3500+ posts in 8 chapters and still going strong, too.

Go us!

(Heh...)

Huzzah. To celebrate, I'm going to list all of the characters that I've had, that I can remember off the top of my head.

Duilin, Darion, Patrick, Gedi, Nex, Veronika, Pophin, Frost, Bite, Darak, Scumfreeze, Rink, Maxwell, Marshal, Valos, Abodahon.

Half of those characters are dead. Those are also half of the characters that are dead in total! Heheh?

Cool. And it is getting more and more sophisticated all the time!

You think so?  Well, maybe a little.  But were still mostly about war and one-on-one battles to the death.  (Heh...)

So what's everyone's favorite chapter/moment?  There were a lot of fun parts for me, but I think the best was the second half of Chapter 3, with Iduran's dramatic death and the battles with Retan and his generals.  Reading back on it seems really well written by everyone and well thought out, even though I'm pretty sure I was just winging it.  (Heh...)

Well, I've got a list of favourite fights for each chapter?

Chapter 1: Scorch vs. Draven (the one after the huge flood that takes out Shin.)
Chapter 2: Nex vs. Zeros' (on the mountain.)
Chapter 3: Nex vs. Duilin (I wasn't involved to much in Chapter 3.)
Chapter 4: Frost vs. Kami-Ryu
Chapter 5: The battle against the Entity
Chapter 6: Duilin vs. Valos
Chapter 7: Duilin & Zeros' vs. Haraldur (Duilin hit Haraldur! z0mg!)
Chapter 8: Valos vs. Zion (so far, but that was a very good fight.)

I have noticed I need to win more player vs. player fights, heh.

But yes, I also liked the final scene of Chapter 3, mostly because it ended with Duilin flying off into the distance (carrying Nevina).

Well, it is definitely more politically sophisticated than before (Evil Empire against everyone else, then Evil Empire and Everyone Else all against Haraldur (still existing to an extent), then a complex series of tactical alliances and ceasefires, and in the last few chapters we have Imperialism, Fascism, Technocracy, Anarchism, discussion of Monarchy, Feudalism, Militarism, Pacifism etc).

I am enjoying the more recent chapters.  Very Happy

Also, has everyone noticed how there is a trend with each chapter being longer than the first (apart from the few exceptions)?

Oooh. I'm mentioned in three battles. Smile

But, yeah. One of my favorite moments is when Nex and Zeros' fight on the mountain in Chapter 2.

Yeah, well maybe something like that will happen again. Nex is back, but this time in the body of Valos.  Nex is probably one of my favourite characters I've had. Duilin of course is my favourite, because I've had him since the beginning.

I've noticed that mostly the story revolves around Draven, Haraldur, Zeros' and Duilin. Those four would probably be the main characters, or at least the main listed ones. Like on a movie cover, it'd show those four at the front and then the actors' names who play them above and/or under them. Heheh.

It would be a damn long film, if it was done justice.

Yeah, I'd probably be divided into several other movies. Probably not by chapter, judging Chapter 3 is longer then both 1 & 2 combined for example. And having a jump in length in a series is just down right nutty.

It'd be one of those redicuously long running anime series with story arcs classified into "sagas" and battles that last 20 episodes.  (Heh...)

Or better yet, a comic book series.  We should get one of those super talented guys over at TKZ's art forum to come over here and draw some panels.

*cough*DBZ*cough*

Hey how many Dragon Ball Z characters does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Just one, but it takes 17 episodes.


Anyways. I'd say the best thing would be a game for DAL, but I'd be hard to make, because we'd probably have it so you'd be able to play as different characters.

OH SNAP. That was great.

And a DAL game would be pretty cool indeed. Like a Sonic Adventure dealie, maybe...

I think that Zeros' and Zion's battle against Neptra was pretty cool. Of course, Zion vs. Valos was great. It's pretty funny how the other two haven't had any real cool fights.

I guarantee you when Tsu fights Aura, it will change, though. Wink
