Dwilight / Re: The Great Dwilight War
« on: June 28, 2013, 02:20:32 AM »
I'm getting mixed signals here. Is D'Hara declaring against the Magna Saecularibus Alliance?
33
I am outside of Luria, and I even knew it was pretty obvious that LN and Morek were going to war. Your Queen declared first, big deal. Morek made it pretty damn obvious that if Luria went to war with D'hara, they would be joining on D'hara's side (and vice versa, if d'hara did the aggression). So I have to agree with your fellow realm mates that if you want to piss off the leadership, you shouldn't really be mad that you don't get info.
RPs were shared with the entire realm, alongside some heated letters between Eviera and Alice. It's not like there was a lack of info hinting towards a Luri-Morekian war.
I expect that the question of closed borders to both sides is also going to be hotly contested.
Contested by Morek, maybe. Alice offered to bypass Swordfell, among other things, before Silas had the chance to say anything.

Luria Nova didn't get anything out of Falkirk/Aurvandil because they were too busy threatening D'Hara during the war.
We didn't want all that much, save Fissoa's neutrality in a possible Luri-D'Haran war.
If I were in Luria I would have pushed for the creation of a Lurio-Fissoan colony on Madina, or perhaps in Aurvandil. It would cause Fissoa to shift further towards LN, effectively creating an empire spanning the entire SW of Dwilight.
Oh wellDon't mind to see Fissoa become a twin city realm, finally!
Eh, whatever. Alice and Selene are lovers, so it's basically an Empire in all but name.

The Great Revolt - The Northern Theocracies stood strong and realistically unopposed for a very long time. Yet after a couple failed colonies and several missteps later, half the continent revolts against their influence.
Just an idea

« on: June 12, 2013, 01:35:28 AM »I find it extremely hard to motivate myself to write to newcomers. I've tried all kinds of styles, from the less formal to more formal, from the completely IC to having OOC letters attached, and I rarely ever get a response from anyone, no matter how I do it, even if it's done really quickly after they join the realm. Meanwhile, others seem to attract them like magnets and turn all of the newbs into loyal henchmen within a day...
Do you offer them land, titles, and gold?

Dwilight / Re: Aurvandil
« on: June 12, 2013, 01:34:22 AM »Sure, bring on the spiel. Do you get a company car?
I get whatever I want, since I'm the Queen. You, however, can get your very own shiny new port city on an island not-so-far away, but only if you join within the next twenty minutes!
Some conditions apply. More details on the greener side of the fence.

« on: June 10, 2013, 04:40:18 AM »No, Aurvandil isn't going to become a republic. In other news, I've been elected general and I really really really dislike Dhara. Sup port raviel.
Sorry, you can't have it. Try for Paisly or something.
Alright then. So what are the benefits of being part of the moot?
I'll tell you the benefits of joining the Lurian Empire, if you'd like. Already got Fissoa on board.

This goes for all you filthy Capulets out there: don't mess with House Montague.

But what if I don't want to bathe in tar, Chenier? I think everyone should come bathe in gold instead, since that's what Luria has in abundance!

Descendants exist.
Just the person I was looking for!

To explain a little:
Alice was never an advy. If you feel inclined to make sure, please visit my family page.
Alice's swordfighting skill is much much less than 80%. Believe me or not, I don't really care.
It's not impossible for a blind person to win a duel: it's just more unlikely. A strike is a strike: it can be difficult to maneuver around, or fairly easy. Alice's might have been difficult to dodge by chance, possibly having something to do with wider arcs and unpredictable strikes.
People who've had vision before going blind often report seeing colors and memories vividly. I had Alice experience a memory, previously RPed in the same fashion months before this all came up, which relieved her of some of her handicap. If you want to see how, I'll be posting the entire collection of RPs soon enough for your eyes to scrutinize.
Sound can be used in battle, albeit to a much lesser degree than vision. Footsteps, breathing, and other bodily movements can be read. Alice was RPed training in these regards, benefiting somewhat as a result.
Skyndarbau was RPed as a man marked by age. There are general disadvantages to be found there as well, although I believe Skyndarbau retained a good amount of his strength.
Shizzle and I agreed OOCly on the event, as mentioned earlier in the thread, with the former stating he preferred losing/dying. I respected his preference, and adjusted accordingly. I would have left my SF skill at 5-10% if he desired otherwise.
To conclude, I disagree that there were any un-SMA mechanisms used. I did some research before moving forward; if I stretched it a little, it was probably due to my lack of experience with complete blindness. I had fun, I think Shizzle had fun, and a good number of Lurians also had fun. The event as a whole advanced political schemes and promoted realm development. We didn't use magic or fantasy-like concepts, following in-game rules the entire way through.
No regrets, would do it again.

Further news, for those not following other threads; first duel between Alice and Skyndarbau resolved, with the latter critically wounded.
Yet another victory for Luria. D'Hara will be the next entity to suffer a critical wound. Long live the Empire!
