(IR) The 3rd IR, Turn 7 (thread 4)

[Uvenelei]

William, what you're saying is a possibility, I'll admit that. However, as gamers, we should know to have faith in the DM. I know that Edena hasn't been perfect, but perfection is hard, and he's done a great job so far, far better than I could have done. I have faith in Edena. If he's having trouble keeping up with everyone else (which would come as no surprise given the size of his endeavor), then we should all slow down. For all of our sakes.

As for the whole thing falling apart, putting a sudden end to it without any closure would be falling apart. There is a chance that it will fall apart if we continue, but not if we all prevent it from doing so. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I have faith in Edena, and I want to see the end of the IR played out in full, regardless of what happens. I speak only for myself, but there is little to no chance of my becoming bitter if my plans fail. And as many have said before, it's all about the fun, and this game is still fun.

Hey, even if Torril, Oerth, and everything else sinks, we still havn't played in Rokugan, right?

Oh man, that would be interesting. I'm not really sure how it would be done off hand though. No arcane age. No 11th level magic. No realmspace. Hmm...might be interesting though...now I'm getting ideas...

Heh... man I was hoping to see the results of dueling... I am curious as to what everyone else is doing. I am curious as to what the results are.

LOL! Rokugan, that would be interesting. Let's have it as an unspoken rule for the IR that nobody interfers with Rokugan, that way we leave the possibility of having a setting for an IR #4 if we ever do one.

Yeah, i'm also really curious as to what the results are. Hopefully I accomplished my objective in drawing quite a bit of Sollir's 11th level magic attacks with my IC comments

That may not be true. There may not even be a Rokugan left to play in.

"Hi, my names Sollir and I'm an EQ addict..." I know what you're talking about Creamsteak, I've played Everquest for a very long time, including PvP alot, where corpse camping, loot stealing, and the ilk is common...I assure everyone I can handle losing with a smile (although Hellmaster would have taken a billion or so with him )

We've seen death in the past. Billions have died on Oerth, Toril and other worlds. Countries, nations and worlds have been wiped out and player factions have been exterminated, but still lived on. What makes this oncoming slaughter different? War is war and death is death.
I don't consider death the meaning of life, like Anabstercorian, life is it's own meaning and purpose, the journey of life is more important then its end in oblivion. The same goes for the IR, it's the game that matters, the enjoyment and stimulation we derive from it. I play to win, but if the ending's artificial there's no victory and no true ending. Considering the past few months in the IR I find it unlikely that all factions would simply agree to coexist peacefully for an eternity or forty years. The end will come, but not like this. Let us resolve the issues that separates our nations, let us build a future, through war or peace, that could realistically be lasting. Some of us will lose in the end, but all of us will win for as long as the IR continues. The journey of the IR is more important than its ending, wether that ending is oblivion or eternal triumph.

I, Serpenteye, hereby promise that I will never be openly angry or insulting ooc in the IR. I might occasionally have objections to some rulings but I will discuss them politely and accept the end result.

I've never actually been angry because of anything that's happened in the IR and I doubt I ever will.

My vote is: Continue the IR

Greetings.

For those of you who do not know me, I represented the Illithid in the first IR, and the Neoillithid in the second. I have not kept track of events since my departure, at the end of IR 2. I perceive, now, that things are unraveling rather rapidly as forces of unimaginable, apparently uncontainable, power clash... likely to their mutual destruction, but we shall see. Personally, I find that it rapidly becomes difficult to profit where escalations of this magnitude are concerned.

To this day, I have fond memories of the IRs in which I participated. Most notably, IR1... in which, with the casting of a single fateful spell, the Elves of Toril unwittingly allowed my Mind Flayers to run rampant on the surface, their mighty psionic powers unopposed by the once potent arcane defenses of the world. As long as I game, I will tell that story.

I hope that those of you participating here have been having as much fun as I had.

I am not a part of what is happening here, and now. I can only hope that a few Neoillithid have somehow managed to survive, and hide themselves away, and record these events for future generations... or for oblivion... whichever will come.

In any event, from where I stand, outside looking in, the IRs thus far have been a brilliant success overall.

Thank you, Edena.

This shouldn't really be a problem. Rokugan doesn't even exist in the same area of planes as anything in DnD, FR, GH or otherwise.

Though ironically, the red goo would probably be enough to unite every single faction. I can't think of one that would embrace it, off hand. And seeing The Emerald Empire and the Shadowlands against a common enemy would be amusing.

 

[Mr. Draco]

Hey Phasmus! It's cool of you to stop by. We're well on our way to completely unravelling the Greyhawk campaign setting. Heck, by the fifth month, the geography was completely unrecognizable.
