Message: <blockquote data-quote="William Ronald" data-source="post: 170823" data-attributes="member: 426">A show of appreciationMy one hour action:  Clean an area the size of Furyondy of the Red Goo.  (Black Omega's Lands, as I reached Dagger's yesterday.)  I will use the Cup and Talisman of Al Akbar to clean an area equal to the Baklunish lands of the Red Goo.  (Maximum area of effect.)  Target area from the Amedio Jungle through the Pomarj towards the Nyr Dyv.  Trying to cover Gnomeworks territory and that of Venus.  I will probably hit Parts of Greyhawk and the Isles of Woe with the power of the Cup and Talisman.  Based on my rough calculations, I should be able to clean parts or all of the Duchy and County of Urnst, the Nyr Dyv, the Lortmils,  and the Bright Desert.Hazen sends a letter to Kessel Gnomeworks:"I believe you should explain what Project Pi was to Anabstercorian  It was your idea.  Perhaps you can offer to aid the survivors."Hazen sends a letter to Anabstercorian:"Lord Anabstercorian, I have asked Kessel Gnomeworks to provide you the details of Project Pi.  And to provide assistance to you.""I offer my condolences for your losses.  While there are many things I disagree with you on, I do respect your intellect.""It is my hope that a lasting peace can be created.  In such a peace, you can perhaps best deliver your vision of the future to the worlds.  I would appreciate your participation in any discussions on a lasting peace."Zouron:  (OOC:  I made my comments a little too broad.  I actually appreciate your efforts.)To Commander Zuroji of the Eternal Union.Greetings,"It was not my intent to belittle any of your remarkable efforts in Aquaria or on the AnaKeri continent.  Your efforts in cleaning the environment are greatly appreciated and respected.""As for putting aside personal agendas, I believe I should have used a better phrase.  I am trying to work on a lasting peace.  There is a possibility that in order to avoid the Domains of Dread that we must put aside all past enmities on several worlds.  For me, this would mean putting aside my past relations with Lord Melkor and the Black Brotherhood.  For you, it would mean something equally difficult: putting aside your past enmity with Anabstercorian.  What use is vengeance if we all fall into the Domains of Dread?  Our ancestors will condemn us as fools, and our posterity, if any, would damn us for our actions.""The desire for vengeance, even when fully justified, may have to be set aside.  I am not sure what actions I should take, let alone others.  I am trying to see my way past the present times into a better future.""As things stand, I believe your treatment of the peoples of AnaKeri and Aquaria is a remarkable improvement over your predecessors.  When disaster struck, you aided them as brothers.  For such magnaminity of spirit, the Eternal Union is to be congratulated.  (OOC:  We did send some food aid to Aquaria and AnaKeri as well.)  Your efforts to clean Oerth are appreciated by me and my allies.""For now, your counsel on building a better future would be appreciated.  I did not mean to belittle you or your remarkable people."To Alzem, Serpenteye, and Mr. Draco:"In accepting an exchange of prisoners, each of you show that thecourage in seeking peace is at least equal to the courage in seeking war.  You are to be commended for your enlightened actions.""The Kevellond League and its allies will help in the cleaning of Oerth and the other worlds affected by the Red Goo.  Also, we will assist in building the City of Peace on the demiplane you have created.  We have recently discovered the secret of how to use quantum string filaments as a building material.""As I write this, a wave of magical energy is cleaning away the Red Goo in the Amedio Forest, the Hold of the Sea Princes, the Pomarj, the Lands near Greyhawk, the former Isles of Woe,  the Bright Desert, and the County and Duchy of Urnst.  Let us all dedicate ourselves to the building of a better world."OOC: Interesting philosophical post, Mr. Draco, from Kas' book.  However, I would consider the perfection of the individual to be more appropriately tied to those who have achieved sainthood or divinity.  The bacteria are perhaps an example of the perfection of multiplicity.  They are so numerous, that at least one individual will survive almost anything.  Individually, bacteria are very imperfect.  (Their high mutation rate helps them evolve to live off of such things as airplane fuel.)</blockquote>
