IP: Logged DarwinofMind Member posted 04-11-2001 01:29 PM UM' it didn't seem to work eric! IP: Logged EricNoah Admin posted 04-11-2001 01:36 PM Well, I tried editing the subject line. Looks like that caused the thread to disappear... sorry about that... IP: Logged Mr. Draco Member posted 04-11-2001 01:40 PM Umm... Eric, something really weird has happened with the thread... Aparently new messages are appearing in the middle of the first page (of 8) and the rest of the pages are taken up by copies of what was the start of the thread... Weird... IP: Logged EricNoah Admin posted 04-11-2001 01:42 PM Between the size of the thread and the server problems, my guess is we'll never see it again... however, i'm still reindexing, so we'll see what happens. IP: Logged Sacred Cow Member posted 04-11-2001 01:45 PM If you are pure of heart and promise to sacrifice all evildoers in my name, I MIGHT let the message thread reappear. Maybe. I haven't decided yet. Some of the comments floating around here have been pretty hurtful, after all. Start praying now, mortals. Mooooo in my name! IP: Logged EricNoah Admin posted 04-11-2001 01:51 PM *sigh* sorry, it's gone, gone, gone. IP: Logged Enkhidu Member posted 04-11-2001 02:00 PM Edena, It looks like it's all over then. Thanks so much for the (literally) hours of fun I had reading it. BTW, if you ever get the itch to do something like this again, don't do it yourself! Let me, or any of a dozen others know, and I'm sure we can share the load, as it were. Enkhidu IP: Logged EricNoah Admin posted 04-11-2001 02:02 PM The big original thread was archived before the crash. Go to the bottom of just about any page to get to the archives. IP: Logged Bugaboo Member posted 04-11-2001 02:03 PM Me, too. I'm a little perturbed about all the time and effort I lost. I put my heart and soul into that thread, darn it! Some of my best work, now gone forever! (sigh) IP: Logged Aloïsius Member posted 04-11-2001 02:27 PM Those who still have it in cache could send a backup copy. The second thread is not archived.

WOW, 7 years of war, almost rid the multiverse of the accursed Toril, almost rid Toril or the acursed Elves. Beutiful. Fantastic. IP: Logged DarwinofMind Member posted 04-11-2001 02:33 PM Yes, Good show I should have thought of that, I'll start looking for what I have in the cache, IP: Logged DarwinofMind Member posted 04-11-2001 02:44 PM OK, I recovered pages 2-6 anyone got the rest? IP: Logged Forrester Member posted 04-11-2001 02:54 PM Well, we DO know where the story left off when things crashed. I'd be quite happy to start from there, and help Edena (with the aid of Reprisal and others) fill in a synopsis of the goings-on that got nuked. Even if we do not continue (which would be a bit of a shame), I think we should all contribute to filling in the lost details, before our memories become fuzzy. Edena? Are you up for it? After all, I want to know if the newly Psionic Humanoids can become Caretakers of the Weave . . . (we don't need no stinkin' elves!) IP: Logged Forrester Member posted 04-11-2001 02:58 PM Wow, Darwin, there were only 8 pages -- and page 8 only had four or five posts, at best. Damn! It looks like we're okay after all. Perhaps you should post pages 2-6 under a new thread? Use the old name -- mostly, at least. "Recovered: How Would . . . .

I might mock your mourning, however. But I only do that because I care, and I want your pain to pass quickly. Like a meadowlark skimming the clouds on a cool summer morning, just before a big ol' hawk swoops down and decapitates the silly bird in flight. Like that. I mean well.

IP: Logged Forrester Member posted 04-11-2001 03:10 PM Well, the story needed an ending -- that's all. Let's wait to hear back from Edena. Things *did* end a bit abruptly, after all. IP: Logged Estlor Member posted 04-11-2001 03:12 PM The last I recall the Psionics whatsamabobbit sacrificed themselves to purify the weave and the entire planet. The Illithid vaporized, and elves from Mystara moved in to try and help rebuild (hell, they even offered to help Forrester's humanoids as by now they're definitely one of the civilized races). I say we leave it at that. Makes for one hell of a campaign world. Except Eleminster survived And of all the evil things... I had to TEAM UP with that guy. I feel tainted just for bringing him into it. ------------------ The Lighthouse Webmaster "More conversions, less talk." IP: Logged Mr. Draco Member posted 04-11-2001 03:22 PM agreed, i say we leave it as it is... This is also because i am planning to use it as a campaign world i am starting in my first game as a DM tommorow... So, could all of you who participated help me flesh out the world? My chache has none of the posts, so the help would be appreciated... Then, once we have the entire world situation fleshed out, we can have eric archive the thread, so it will never be lost, hurry and post what you remember at my new topic "History of toril during the industrial revolution" Post before you forget, and bugaboo, please don't joke around. IP: Logged Forrester Member posted 04-11-2001 03:22 PM The point is, Estlor, is that I don't WANT any stinking elves on Toril. In case you weren't paying attention, that was pretty much the point of wiping them out completely and totally . The only reason the elves were invited in by someone is so that they could help with this stupid Weave. Well, psionics healed it -- I hope Edena will let a bunch of psionic humanoids maintain it. I want Toril to be ELF FREE. Is there anything wrong with that? Forrester IP: Logged Mr. Draco Member posted 04-11-2001 03:27 PM Quick everybody to the new thread and post what you remember of Toril from the thread "What would you do if gnomes started the industrial revolution".. The goal of this thread is to flesh out Toril (from our thread) as a campaign world for use. Forrester, this means if the thread is finished, you can run campaigns to exterminate the elves with your own players... When we finish, eric can archive it, and we will never loose it.. IP: Logged Sciurus Rex Member posted 04-11-2001 03:28 PM I never really bought into the scenario, and reading about it here now I have to wonder why you ever pluralized the races. ALL the elves are dead? ALL gnomes are tinkers? I suppose ALL orcs snored in their sleep, too. You could probably rewrite/edit the original messages to change each race to a single representative, and not change a thing. "Then the gnome and the halfling killed the elf as an example to the uppity human..." History is richly populated with individuals, not cliche' races. IP: Logged Forrester Member posted 04-11-2001 03:31 PM Draco -- don't rush it. It looks like between the original 16-page thread (already archived), and the pages that Darwin and whatshisface was able to recover, we'll have 95% of the story. Once we have that, I'll tack on the ending -- on my side, it was mostly reacting to the new Weave and trying to become Toril's new protectors. IP: Logged LazyDM Member posted 04-11-2001 03:33 PM Whoah. Edena's reposting everything from the lost thread! He's got to be the coolest macro-DM I've ever seen! IP: Logged Edena_of_Neith Member posted 04-11-2001 03:42 PM I've finished reposting. I'm going to take a break now, folks. I'm beat.
