The balance is one of the main reasons I hope it has ots own thing, and it'd make it a lot more interesting than just being another lackey of 'Good'. For that matter I don't want it to be on Glom or Mags side either, I'd rather Ackleberry take over the basin and let everyone else bow down to em *cackles*

Okay peeps. This is how its gonna go down yo.


Auseklis will come back and be like. "Oh! Thank :censored: God! A real :censored: commune!"

He will be all preachy yo. He will be like " Yeah dawgs. Lets try to bring da forest communes togetha yo?"

How about we scratch Ackleberry alltogether, and bring out Hallifax and Gaudiguch? One would be on the light side and one wouldn't. Makes perfect sense, since they were fighting just before they went POOF.

Let's hope not.

See... I wouldn't mind somethin like that, cuz A. It wouldn't be aligned for or against the taint, B. It'd be somethin that none of the communes are doing which would make it original, and C. It'd never completely happen cuz Serenwilde and Glom would never want to work togeather, which would make it incredibly interesting in the various conflicts of interest that would arise.

Aside from the funky Lord Auseklis part of it...

My PREFERENCE, and with human players screwing everything up, I doubt it will happen, is that Ackleberry vs. Serenwilde vs. Glomdoring will be a 1vs1vs1 setup, with NO alliances. Also, Hallifax vs Gaudigauch and Celest vs. Magnagora. I'd also prefer it if somehow the Glomdoring+Magnagora and Celest+Serenwilde alliances were somehow dissolved.

Exactly when did Seren become 'anti-taint'? Is there a direct moment where it began? As is, it's pretty much Celest, just stronger.

Oh thank god I'm not completely alone....

WHo cares? Worry about Guadi-Hallifax first

Mm, sorry, really isn't worth my time to hop up on Lusternia to see. What are you, a Magnagoran? Or just one of those really annoying rogues?

Ugh... I'm rogue

Waiting for Ackleberry to return because IC Suhnaye is a passifist, and has family in Serenwilde and Glomdoring. And he doesn't agree with any of Glomdorings beliefs, and is disgusted with Serenwildes Fanaticism...

A Magnagora crying balance - THAT'S funny.

In Magnagora's defense, though, is it will be weighted against them. But it will be interesting to see how things turn out.

Celest/Hallifax will probably be allies, without a second thought. They simply seem too alike to not be. Magnagora will have an ally of Gaudiguch, no doubt. I mean, if you think about it, Gaudiguch was simply curious about the Taint, but now that it's actually agressive nature is gone, there's little, if anything, left for them to dislike about it.

Serenwilde will hate Hallifax, if only because it is the embodiment of Civilization, the cold, clean, calculating nature one saw with like, Damaris or whatever Hashan's tutor was. Her only remark was that, while the forest was clear-cut and animals lost homes and lives, it was all in the name of progress. Although Hallifax will most likely not be so rushy and headstrong as Celest, it won't find an ally in the Wilde, probably ever.

Glomdoring will always ally with Magnagora, unless Viravain puts her foot down, I'm afraid.

Serenwilde will shun Celest for allying with Hallifax, and probably team up with Ackleberry, and then the true grove orgies will commence.

Gaudiguch, Magnagora, Glomdoring vs Celest, Hallifax vs Acklewilde.

It suddenly becomes clear. I probably should have read some of your annoyingly long news posts, but the ADHD kicked in.

Seriously, though. This thread is rather stupid, and I don't mean that as an insult against you Suhnaye. I mean in the sense that who Ackleberry allies with will be based on one of two factors. A strong Divine presence saying "I am the Law!" and dictating who you ally with if you ally at all, or which political faction has the most members in its line of thinking in Ackleberry.

You can say oh the RP all you want. RP will last right up until Ackleberry gets beat down a few times and is forced to choose the lesser of four evils in its books.

As long as it doesn't stay a perma war between taint and non-taint I'll be happy, this lack of a third party pisses me off

Woh woh woh. Okay. Communes purpose is to remove the corruption and poisoning of Nature and the Nature Spirits (AKA Fae) caused by the Soulless, both pre and post being sealed off. They still pollute Lusternia, even though they are trapped deep beneath it.

The Taint is simply a manifestation of Kethuru's Will. It's just another method used by Him in His attempts to destroy all creation. It is, thus, anethema to our goal - removing the corruption and devestation caused by the Soulless.

There won't be a third party. There could have been a third party, but Glomdoring's so far in Magnagora's pants, we'll need a delouser comb to get them out.

Who are you and what have you done with the Gregori I love to hate... When did you get polite again?

As for Glomdoring possibly being a third party, it would never happen, not because they were ever connected to Magnagora, but because of the bad history between Crow and Serenwilde, and Serenwildes inability early on to acctually be nice. If Serenwilde had not beaten the hell out of them early on, they wouldn't have been forced to turn to Magnagora, and then things would have turned out way different.

When I told Skyla I would save my IC angst for IC and stop taking it out on people on the forums. *grin*

Awww, I don't want to imagine Ackleberry getting beaten up. It'll be full of Furrikin and Tae'dae...

So cute!

And it's just as likely that they see the effect that it had on Glomdoring, and decide that it's 'not-as-bad' as they thought.
