[QUOTE="William Ronald, post: 140650, member: 426"] [b]A message from the God Emperor[/b] Serpenteye sent this to me. He asked me to post it. Hi William! I have a favour to ask of you. Could you post this on the EN-Board? I'd really appreciate it. -- I'm sorry I've not been able to post lately but I've lost my password to the EN-Boards (and MR Draco's indisposed). I had to delete my temporary internet files to get more available space on my hard drive. When I did that I also (I'm such a moronic bastard) deleted the cookie that contained my password to the boards. I requested a new password yesterday but I'm still waiting. I've noticed that the Union of Oerth has been made a scapegoat for everything bad that has happened to Oerth this turn. Yes, I could have sacrificed my pc and my entire faction in the Blood Waste. I knew OOC that they would probably be saved somehow. However, I had no reason to believe that IC. It would have been horrible role playing to have my character commit suicide, for any reason. You keep writing that the Union of Oerth is doing nothing to fight the Red Army. That is simply not true. Yes, we have most of our power tied up in research. There is nothing I can do about that, and even if I could it would be incredibly foolish to send my entire (insignificant and easily killed) 2700pls against 30000pls of Red Armies. There is simply no way we could win (My armies are not incorporeal, I do not have 10th level magics, I do not have super-elves from space, we do not grow more powerful when we're nuked, I don't even have oerthblood). Regardless of how many pls (and we have committed 440ppts, over half of our available power) we have still done more to combat the enemies of Oerth than most other factions. The God Emperor brought the Devils to Oerth, the Devils who are now fighting side by side with the Angels against the Demons and the Red Army, the Devils who are sacrificing their lifes to strike against their ancient demonic enemies. And now, because of our uncompromising hostility towards the Red Armies, the Union of Oerth is destroyed. Most of our territory is submerged under the ocean, blown up by volcanoes, turned to red goo or broken by oearthquakes. We have payed a higher price than any other faction for our loyalty to Oerth. Kalanyr, you have no reason to fear us. All I forsee for the future of the Union of Oerth and the God Emperor is doom. Doom at the hands of the Red Army and their slaves, or doom at the hands of the Oerth Alliance and your servants. There is nothing I can do to prevent that fate. All that remains for my faction is death. Maybe MR Draco has some plan that could save us, maybe he knows something I do not, but I have nothing. All I can do is ask William to let the UO borrow his excellent tactics and weapons to help us in our struggle against the Red Army. If he does give us the secrets of Oerthblood we will immediately start massproduction of oerthblood military equipment and copy every brilliant strategy the the Kevellond are using against our mutual enemies. Logically, that should be vastly insufficient to give us victory, but since when was the IR logical? ;) We will also copy Uvenelei's groundshakers. Their design is as simple as it is ingenious and it should be relatively easy to copy them. We will be searching the battlefield for remains of the devices and we scried the battle extensively. Serpenteye PS: I appologize for my rudeness and self-pity, I've had a very bad week. DS [/QUOTE]
