(IR) 1st ooc-thread of the 5th IR (open)

[Paxus Asclepius]

As The Forsaken One was kind enough to relinquish his claim to them, I am claiming the Troll Fens.

Melkor: If you have anything that you wish the other factions not to know, email is preferable, given the lack of security on sblock posts; if there's no sensitive information, the boards can handle it. Be warned that approaching the Wolf God's palace unannounced is a swift ticket to unpleasantry, so your messenger will likely be shuffled around by a series of bureaucrats before being introduced by a majordomo.

Triple the vote of confidence that things will suddenly and inexplicably drop off for a while around Xmas. That's just the way things work, I didn't mention that I'd be off because I simply assumed that everyone would know what was going on by the sudden presence of gifts from their own relatives and the whining of children if any were present within earshot.

 

[Eluvan]

Hmmm... well then, okay! Consider me back in! I pretty much just found out that I would be busy in that period today, remembered how fast people were posting here, and though 'well, that's shot that then'. If, in fact, that much absence would be manageable then I am only too happy to stay in the game. It wasn't an excuse to dodge out; I genuinely thought I wouldn't be able to manage an absence of that length. Thanks, Edena, for setting me straight.

Also, I am of course aware that Christmas is a slow period... but still, a lot of people might only be off for the few days around Christmas itself. Hmmm, I feel kinda stupid now...

And no, I'm not unhappy with my power. In fact I'm feeling pretty good about getting out there and smiting some evil!

 

[The Forsaken One]

Good to have you back

 

[Edena_of_Neith]

Cheers Eluvan! Welcome back!!

I've made all the changes requested, including a very detailed analysis of your territories, Bugbear.
For those who wanted modifications, have a look!

Forsaken One, what's up with your power? You indicated possible major changes in Zindia, Nippon, and the Nippon Dominion. What's up?

Melkor, you claimed Ivid and Rauxes first. Without realizing you had made the claim, Rikandur claimed Ivid.
Without trying to offend anyone here, I'm giving Ivid back to Melkor.

EDIT: I have cleaned up Airwhale and Zelda's claim (to some extent, at least), and listed out each of their claims planet by planet. Everyone ought to take a look at their rosters.
Why?
Because every one of those worlds is now in play. Every player could conceivably teleport their Elite Armies to any one of those worlds or asteroids or even spelljamming vessels. And we have TINKER GNOMES in the IR (may the Gods help us. Are kender next?) But in any case, if you are attacked from the secret base that Knight Otu set up on Celene, or Borka, or Spectre ... or the secret base that Melkor set up, or Paxus set up, or William set up, or ... well, now you will know why.
It's an interstellar war. Let the party begin!
Oh, and note that there are enough dragons on the World of Edill to FRY US ALL on Oerth. Isn't that nice? Just leave it to the elves to convince them to do just that, too (maybe we DO need a way of destroying an entire planet? ...)

 

[Edena_of_Neith]

Hey ya'all, do you think we could recruit any more people?
There are 6.5 billion people on this planet! Surely, we could manage 2 or 3 more for the IR.

Can you'all do some recruiting? I've done what I could in that department.

Beautiful, Edena, thanks

Without trying to offend anyone here, I'm giving Ivid back to Melkor.

Well, I for one am deeply offended

 

[James Heard]

Hi, I also have the artifact the Recorder of Ye'Cind (which I know absolutely nothing about). I mean, it's his instrument. The one I don't know what it does.

Someone want to throw me a bone? Does it allow me to summon 3rd grade choruses? Or is it cool, like in Circle of Iron, and allow me to engage in dramatic Tai Chi fights with Monkeymen?

 

[Edena_of_Neith]

To Guilt Puppy

Guilt Puppy, I would be happy to finish filling in the map. I would gladly do so, for you.
But I need colors for all the remaining players first. (A Crayola Crayon 96 pack would be nice! )

EDIT: I've designated all your territories, Guilty Puppy, in your roster. I have also done so with Knight Otu (that took a while) and Anabstercorian. I'll get to the others also.
