(shouts this, because we need the map in question!)

IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO CAN EXPAND GUILT PUPPYS' MAP TO INCLUDE THE WHOLE OF OERIK?
WE NEED SUCH A MAP REAL, REAL, REAL BADLY.

(replicate what James did ... he took his map offline, and my attempts to get it, and him, back have been futile.)
I've been tinkering around with photoshop all morning trying to create a workible map from the AOL site image. so far no good. I hate photoshop. I would do it in CC (which I'm much better at) but the large main contient is a bit unweildy. So much so in fact, that it crashed my computer when I tried to close the line :(

No promises but I'll keep at it.

James is still waiting to have a talk with Creamsteak actually, is quite here, will probably give bunches of map goodness back as soon as he has access to his computer again, is willing to give the new elven players every single iota of notes he took on Miranda and etc if he likes (when he's got access to his computer again), and so on and so forth. Anyways, I'm not around my own files right now I'm not going to tread back into the game without a discussion with a moderator to make sure I'm going to make more work for the moderators. :)

If anyone has the data from before to give to the respective parties, then that would be cool too. If anyone has any suggestions once I'm back for the map, even if I'm not participating in the IR, then I'll see what I can do. I heart Photoshop plenty, I'd even consider redoing it in Illustrator if people were polite and time allows. I admit I have no clue what my schedule is going to be like come January though.

Have fun!

Eclavdra to Iuz (Private)

[sblock]
Eclavdra communicates to Iuz, in her usual soft, gentle voice ... except that she is THERE, talking to him personally:

In your might, you have created a weapon that could destroy the Surface Dwellers, and lay their lands to waste ...
Yet, in your wisdom, your Magnificence, do you not believe the Surface Dwellers better spent against Vecna the Accursed, when he returns?
If the Surface Dwellers spend themselves destroying Vecnas' armies, then Iuz the Powerful can slay Vecna personally, and have all the glory from it for himself.
Then afterwards, he can rule all the lands, for the weakened Surface Dwellers will fall like chaff before the Armies of Iuz.
Yet first ... they must be there to confront Vecnas' legions ...
[/sblock]

A tip to anyone, If You wish Your ambassador to survive in Iuz's presence send someone good at acting. Wery good option would be courtier/rogue. With Skill Focus: Soothe. :p
My iuz have mild heart for women, from obvious resons ;) and small children, they are as cruel as he. :heh:

[sblock]Only respone from Iuz the Wicked were playful smile and dreadful promise. "We will see, if You make true Your promise of finding Tharizdunites and Gods remainding on Oerth. I don't like suprises like humilation of my ambassador from the hands of Al'Akbar."

OOC: We have to wait until Serpenteye would say something about this, Edena, don't panic.If YIuz destroy everything in first Turn, It would rob him of all the fun don't You think ?[/sblock]
 

To James:

Hey there.
I have always loved coloring maps. (I got the biggest Crayola Crayon boxes I could get as a kid. :) )

So, I colored in as much of Guilt Puppys' map as I could get away with.

If you resubmit that huge map of Oerik, and it can be colored in, I'll color it in. Certainly, there will be a lot of colors needed!

Then everyone will see that Venus, Kalanyr, and Radiant are sitting over there in the west with huge amounts of land, and Festy Dog is sitting in the south with more huge amounts of land, and - oh dear - me and Guilt Puppy control all of Hempmonaland ... and then all those little powers in the Flanaess will wake up and say ... OH NO! (grins evilly)

Yes, by all means, speak with Creamsteak.
And talk with Darkness. He's a good guy. He was in the 3rd IR, and he helped protect and support it (when the 3rd IR started, it was on the main board of ENWorld! Talking the Talk did not exist, back then!)

(Speaking of Talking the Talk, if only I could talk Darkness and Gez into joining. Both were great players in the 3rd IR, and I want them back! :) )

Don't worry, Rikandur, Eclavdra's not panicking. It's only the End of the World. :D

Could anyone help Azmodean?

Hey there all.

We have someone seriously interested in the game. His SN is Azmodean.
He is over on the recruiting thread (Title: Do you want to rule the world) and is asking about races he could play. He's asking for suggestions. Creative suggestions.
I don't have the books in front of me, and I'm drawing blanks. I posted the major races, but that's not creative.
Could anyone go over there and help him? Give suggestions? Support? It would be great to have him join us.

Yours Sincerely
Edena_of_Neith

Greetings all, I'm looking into joining your little soiree here, and just a few questions. Are there any guidelines for how much territory one can claim? Are there any guidelines for what kind of standing army one can have at the beggining of turn one?

That having been said, We would like to lay a claim to semeast to start, and We assert it is chock full of "wild" beings of all sorts. (Our take on building a faction is one can treat it like a deific portfolio, so that's the way We're going, with a CG "savage" god.) Our armies would include barbarians, druids, rangers, lyncanthropes, treants (or are they LG, can't remember) and other CG beasties TBA. Edit: it seems that Dwarves are underrepresented, so that would be a good choice for the primary race.

This is assuming that there is still a shortage of good aligned players, if not We can go with a more elite (epic even?) evil force primarily composed of arcane spellcasters, undead, and constructs. Of course this would require Us to inhabit a more "civilized" area, which We would have to determine at that point.

Edena: You move quickly, but no more so than We do. Our head is spinning from attempting to digest all of the information we have read in the last thirty minutes or so. [sblock]just to let you know, We are not completely crazy, We have just decided that if We are going to be ascending to godhood as We now intend, We should begin to refer to Ourselves properly when conversing in this particular context. Meh, or maybe We are crazy, whatever.[/sblock]
We have outlined a few alternate faction concepts, which shall be implimented contingent upon feedback We recieve. Edit: Definitely add Us to the roster, We are extremely interested. It seems the good aligned forces of Oreth still need allies, so put Us down as a Dwarven "savage" faction.

To Azmodean

Greetings to you (plural :) ) Azmodean.
I will put you in the roster ASAP.

The powers range from 70 IC to 750 IC, but the average is around 400 IC (Industrial Capacity of the power, which translates into Power Level of the power: see the rules on page 1.)

Do you have an e-mail whereby we can contact you?

This isn't my IR. This is Serpenteyes' IR. I'm just a helper, along with others.

Welcome to the 5th IR. Savage Dwarves it is.

Check out the megapost. It's full of map links. Check them out. And at the bottom of the megapost is a list of unclaimed countries and areas. If any of them interest you, feel free to claim one.
 

taking a vacation from this game for a few days (since it hasn't started yet anyway).
But don't worry the claw will be back before it starts and no one will be left in the dark about what he can expect in case of those that are allready dealin with us. Just need some time to clear my head.
 

We shall stake Our claim to Semeast, along with the Emerald Order (Our understanding is that the Emerald Order is an organization which is spread more or less throughout Oreth, is this correct?) We understand that this will most likely provide an insufficient amount of resources for Our goals. We will have to carfully consider where else We should stake Our claims. Suggestions of available good-aligned areas populated by beings who revere nature would be appreciated, and missives from potential allies who share the interests of the natural order will be cordially accepted.

(OOC: Here is an outline for my overall PC/faction concept, it's pretty rough, I'm planning on putting a lot more detail into it as I gain a better understanding of how the IR will be running. Go ahead and post Our email address, which is theazmodean@hotmail.com. Faction color, is a really dark brown available?)

N'grath has watched over Semeast for many, many years as the highest-ranking druid in the area, gently guiding the savage inhabitants to keep to their traditional customs and preventing them from developing practices harmful to nature, often without even revealing his presence. At times however, N'grath's way of doing things has led to tragedy when his subtle manipulations were discovered and the resentfull populace threw their support behind leaders whose direct approaches were better recieved by the stubborn dwarves who call Seameast their home, though much less successful. Over time the frustrations of these encounters has grown within N'grath, and finally he has decided to openly command the resources of Semeast to protect the natural world throughout Oreth. Once the decision had been made, N'grath acted with astonishing speed, winning over all of the major tribes residing within Semeast through displays of strength where possible and by eliminating the leaders of more stubborn tribes (for their own good...).

Long ago he also rose to a position of power within the Emerald Order, and now he directs the organization to keep watch over the rest of Oreth. Here he still practices his carefull and subtle machinations, keeping the power of the organiztion hidden where it can be used to full effect.

N'grath is now entering a new phase in his quest to protect nature from those who would dispoil it. He is currently organizing his tribes with the aim of conquering nearby areas who he believes are a danger to the natural order. Simultaneously, he is making use of the Emerald Order to make contact with like-minded nations as well as to prepare the way for his hordes to invade the already-mentioned areas he does not agree with.

(OOC: let me know if this would be considered a too-agressive approach for a "good" faction, he really does have the best intentions, but he has decided the only way he can truly protect nature is to be in absolute control).

Azmodean ... I think that You should think carefully about Your PC. He's druid right ?
So if You wish him to be good, take dwarven Epic Druid, N-G, and boost guy up with Exalted Feats from the "Book of Exalted Deeds" You will find enough fantatism with the best intentions, to fill Hell up. :D

My favourite would be Vow of Povetry and Vow of Peace. And don't call
N'grath's teachings and suggestions manipulations ! Tsk, Tsk ! He's doing it for their better future ... Without Nature they would die off anyway, don't they ?

And Dwarves are not considering violence unnatural, or evil within specified limits. For soapy elves it may be barbarity that two dwarven friends fight often after getting drunk ... but we aren't speaking of saints ? Aren't we ?! Iuz wouldn't stand those fanatics. no way !!! :)
