(IR) Concerning the third IR
- Thread starter Edena_of_Neith
- Start date
Edena,
Was there a reason you wanted to take away all of my handy cannon fodder, er.. I'm mean troops.
If it makes what you have planned work better if the Empire of Iuz is less powerful, then that's fine. I'm just hoping that I didn't do something to make you mad.
Also, would it be all right if I sent you an e-mail about some things I have been thinking about...determine their feasibility, etc.
Thanks,
John

Ok, then. Riot Gear has the Solistarim (and may the Gods help Oerth!)
Not trying to steal your humanoids, John Brown.
It's just that things won't be the same without Forrester.
Forrester was the main impetus of the first IR, and gave it much of it's greatness (or awfulness, from the elven point of view.)
Forrester and Phasmus and Riot Gear were great (Phanmus and Riot Gear played the illithid), the way they carried on about who was the real ruler of Toril's underdark, who could trump who, who was better at fiendish traps, and all.
When I paste the original IR to these new boards, you'll find their little discussion in the first 7 pages of part 1 ... it's a great read.
And I do believe Phasmus will be back, to play the illithid of Toril (not Oerth!) in this new mess.
Maybe Forrester will play the humanoids of Toril.
The Humanoid Alliance of Toril is, indeed, now a state of the United Commonwealth of Toril, but it could still take independent action.
Ah well (sigh) ... we will see.
Because the Church of Shade, from Toril, IS involving itself on Oerth (and I'm not the one running them!), so perhaps others from Toril are getting involved.
That is what the Wanderer thinks is happening.
That is what his sending will discuss - the intervention of Realmsians in Oerthian affairs.
What he has to say about the Realmsians, isn't very pleasant.
Hey Balor, are you claiming any nation or power?

Kesh, this is somewhat like the first one, but it's on Oerth.
With a twist. Although Oerth is medieval, as Toril was before the first IR, the (now) high-tech Torilians are interfering on Oerth.
The Wanderer wants all their behinds kicked off the planet, and back to where they belong.
Meanwhile, they have secretly inspired the gnomes and dwarves of the Lortmils into an infant Technocracy, Oerth's first (they have interfered, indeed.)
Feel free to join! The more, the merrier (and the more, the messier, hehe)

It would be nice to join, but I'd like to start with some 'minor character'. I am a bit shy person in net-games, through my flawed english and fact that I've never played rpg (even theorical one) in net.
It would be sad to miss this one too.
Help me.

The Governments are aware of the activities of the Church of Shadow in supplying the Drow with muskets and mausers, correct? Then I will counter by supplying the elves of Oerth with strategies used in the first war by the elves of Evereska and Evermeet against technologies such as that. It should be more effective, seeing as how these opponents don't have Witchlights and the Tarrasque to go rampaging through the whole damned island.
Edit: And please, whatever you do, don't make the wanderer say something like "what do you say to that little peoples?" I couldn't control myself last time.

Hey there. Welcome back, Mr Draco!
Do you want to speak for a good people? Or a neutral people? Or an evil people?
Zelda, your English will never receive any criticism out of me (nor out of anyone else with any decency on this board.)
The IR is not a game, per se.
If it were, I'd be posting this over in the Gaming section of this board (it might end up in the In Character section, though.)
The IR is a what if scenario.
I post a single question, or statement, then ask everyone how they'd respond to it In Character (just assume, for this purpose, that you have a character - any character! - and respond as you think that hypothetical character would react)
In mid February, I will post this question (actually, it will be an In Character rant from someone called The Wanderer), and you can then react to my post! (grin)
In the other IRs, the reactions of the others, and my respond to their reactions, created an impromtu story.
It was a totally messed up story, ludicrious and ridiculous, we totally wrecked the world of Toril (the Forgotten Realms campaign setting), but we had a lot of fun doing it.
It was madcap mayhem. For some people, that was great (and for some, it was very annoying ... either way, I couldn't do a thing about it ... people post as they please, not when I tell them to!)
Once the thread had built up momentum, it took off like a rocket (100 posts in 24 hours, then 200 more in the next 12 hours), had a brief, glorious hey-day, then settled down (everyone was tired.)
It puttered on weakly for a while after that, then stopped.
I created a second thread, that started with - not a question or a rant - but an In Character threat from the Chosen of Mystra (it was a trick: they threatened simply to get everyone to assemble; they did not have the power to carry out their thread), and then a massive peace conference broke out.
It broke out, and they argued, and they debated philosophy, and people representing every conceivable faction (even the Angels, Fiends, Slaadi, and Sigilians!) came to the table, to have a long and furious debate over how to create a lasting peace (not so easy to do, when it's illithid, human, drow, aboleth, etc., all sitting at the table.)
Then it broke up, and the war started again In Character, more furious than ever.
Somehow, they avoided blowing up all of Toril (and all of Realmspace), and incredibly they created a lasting peace.
Now, some of these people, armed with high technology and high magic (or high technomancy) have gone over to Oerth, a completely NEW world, and have decided they know better how to run Oerth than it's people do.
And they are interfering directly in the events on Oerth, fostering Technomancy in secret on that world.
But the Wanderer knows of them, and he's about to spill the beans (give the secret out) to every person on the planet.
In spades. In glorious technicolor detail through telepathic sight and sound, but it will be HIS version of the events that took place on Toril, and he hates and fears them all (in other words, it will be the worst kind of propaganda.)
Of course, the nations and peoples of Oerth all hate each other as it is, and most are plotting war against each other with their medieval weapons and their magic anyways, and a few are planning devilish surprises ... and the Torilians are adding more than their share to the dangerous situation.
How will it end?
Well ... on Toril, the Elves of Evermeet joined with the Humanoids, and the two became welded into one people (the eldest daughter of Queen Amlaruil joyously became the concubine of the Humanoid King ... if you do not believe me, ask Forrester.)
And the race of mind flayers on Toril became good aligned, stopped eating brains, and became wise and respected mentors of the great universities of the United Commonwealth of Toril.
So yes, come on in, and enjoy yourself.
If you wish, I can pick you out a small nation, and you can be the King or Queen of it, and speak for them.
Tis up to you!
