Dark Age Legends, Chapter 15 -- Sign Ups

[D. Ein]

Welcome back... TRAITOR!!!

<.<

Nah, just kidding. Welcome back. In either case, I don't think that these forums will be active for the next little while, unless, of course, we make them be active. Here's a few things I wanted to let out.

First of all, I've spent a fair deal of time now organizing what Kandarin will look like in the next chapter. A long time has passed, so there's been plenty of opportunity for Kronos to make some reforms. I was wondering - even though this time it's going to be a fair evil empire vs good empire war (as opposed to evil empire vs a few good heroes, guerilla style), maybe Kronos could still have control of about half the Dark Continent (or maybe the entire continent - the good guys could be based on Ariosis for now). Kandarin will no longer have a fixed capital, and since the old one was blown up, no Kandarinian forces will be located on the Arctic Region anymore.

The second thing is that at the moment, I have absolutely no ideaplans on how Kronos is going to die. Any suggestions?

[Dude Man]

I think Lizaberg should either be some sort of barbaric independent nation (considering Thogus and Ssobra would be left in charge), but maybe they could have been conquered in between chapters.

I think a few south-east parts of Terian could be controlled by the Republic, seeing how Tjed, Helternia and Arosis could have taken some parts of it. But I do agree that Terian should still be mostly a 'bad-guy' place.

I'm thinkin' something like this...

Red=Kandies
Blue=Republic

And I suggest Kronos die of a rare skin disease or he should spontaneously combust.

But seriously, it's too early to worry about that. Wink

Couple of things I might like to throw out there:

First up is the whole good guy vs bad guy thingy. Is Kandarin going to be evil, or what? I thought the Dark Empire is still alive, just without a leader. Maybe somebody else should take over, like Kronos. That just sounds like a good idea.

Second on the list is the fact of minor groups who'd like to remain independant. If the good guys pull off what they're trying to do, than will all of the groups go against the Dark Empire (or Kandarin)?

Last on the list is what D. Ein was talking about earlier. Why would you want Kronos to die now? There are still many plots you could run with him. If you really want him dead though, I suggest an epic battle of the ages. That's always the coolest way to go out. Perhapse a mega-deathray? Possibly a doom-tex (vortex of doom)? Elaborate on those, if I used that word right. I hope I did...

Oh, and one more thing. I know it's early and all, but I might as well just say it now and get it done with. Merry New-year and a happy crap-mas for all! Plus any other holidays that I just don't care to mention because they suck (like Qwanza or whatever the hell). I'm not in a very good mood when it comes to dumb holidays that everybody thinks are too religious. Can you tell?

Have a good one anyways!

The Dark Empire is kaput.  Much like in chapter 4, when the emperor disappears with no successors (along with most of the rest of the major leadership), then everyone freaks out and the nation just falls apart into a bunch of independent city-states.  These in turn could very easily be swallowed up by a now much more organized Kandarin during the three year interlude.

Yeah... erm... happy holidays to you too, Drannic. (Heh...)

[Ted Der]

Yeah, I'm kind of confused about whose side who is on. I didn't think Kronos as an entirely "bad guy" really. Also, Xorlak, your post count is 2007, think you can wait before posting again until the year 2008?

Yay! one more week until the holidays!

[D. Ein]

He's a bad guy by the criteria that he wants to take over the world (and for no apparent reason, either - I guess so that he can brag to other evil overlords that he took over the world).

[Xorlak]

We don't necessarily have to have "bad guys" and "good guys".  In fact, for the majority of the RP the major "villains" were mostly a blur.  Retan was one of the few clear cut agents of pure generic evil.  (Heh...)

Now blast it, you made me post before the new year.  (Heh...)

[Dude Man]

Haraldur by far was the most ambiguous villain, to the point where you could also call him a hero. He wanted to bring peace to the world and allow everyone to get what they want. Yet he was over violent to those who disagreed with him. Plus he was a commie!!

Now Melkoth was also a pretty obvious villain, he just wanted to rule the world and kill babies and eat puppies. Abodahon was actually more evil than Melkoth, yet he was just a sub-villain.

Abodahon was probably the best sub-villain, except for maybe Jayce or Draven. However I think Draven would be more of an anti-hero now.[/ramble]

[D. Ein]

Plus he was a commie!!

Is there anything wrong with that?

[Dude Man]

Um...no...of cource not! Rolling Eyes

You know it's just that in all the movies the commies are bad guys. Yeah, that's it. Wink

[Xorlak]

Silly Ein.  All communists are evil.

[D. Ein]

*tries to snipe Xorlak out of the pool, but is blocked by a solid, 50-foot (in every direction) block of gold*

Sad

Alas! My plan is foiled... once again.

[D. Ein]

Could we please shorten the break to about a week...? I mean, it's Christmas! Perfect time for everyone to post!

[Xorlak]

Nah, still need to recharge.  Sign ups will be up sometime around the beginning of January.

[Dude Man]

I'm tempted to abuse my power, Xorlak Razz. But I won't. I'll just harness my energy to make one of my wicked-awesome-really-long-ass first posts.

Besides if I abused my power you'd simply re-lock the topic and delete all the new posts. Wink
