Yes, anarchy. Fertile ground for all sorts of possibilities. The Vale is just a located area, surrounded by mountains, where magic comes from. The Anama certainly can't restore peace, but they can certainly provide havens across the land. The Mages are not so much dissident, atleast, not as a whole, but desperate. Just had a great idea. Somehow, the Anama Church contaminated the Vale, infecting it with the disease that led to it's eventual fall. This would make the Anama distrusted, along with the last hope, and help creat more balance in the RP. -------------------- Here will be the pet choices: Potatoe Salmon, Pet Rock, or Sabre-toothed Lime?

quote:Seeing as the Anama would be best prepared, living a life without magic for their whole existence, I'd imagine it would be the most sought after position. Imploding may not be the right word choice. Perhaps died out. Anyways, I wanted the Vale, being the source of magic, to cease. The mages would be losing their power, in a literal sort of way. Where they would have once been the most powerful people in a city, they are now just men in smelly robes and funny hats. Sure, they'd be able to do some good for a while, but they'd be living on borrowed time. I had envisioned this RP as a character RP more then anything else, FYI. -------------------- Here will be the pet choices: Potatoe Salmon, Pet Rock, or Sabre-toothed Lime?

Wow. Dintiradan's idea is good, and I think it's a step in the right direction that we're finally discussing how to mend the problems as a community. Well, seeing as we're here, I'll voice my idea: A highly magical society, ruled by a kingdom. At the center of the continent there is the Vale, where all magic originates from, which is also the center of civilization (the capital, magic academy, etc). The Blind Sage then finds out that the Vale will implode in approximately six months. Unable to do anything, the King is killed by rebels, who then try to seize control. The Magic Academy is dismantled, mages of all sorts become poor, banditry and piracy is on the rise, attacks by previously unknown foreigners, etc. The new government isn't strong, and everything is being dismantled. The only group that's gotten any thing good from the situation are the Anama (who will be here since this is Spidweb). What's more, monsters previously sealed with magic are being loosed on the world... Thoughts? -------------------- Here will be the pet choices: Potatoe Salmon, Pet Rock, or Sabre-toothed Lime?

How about maturely discussing the plot, meaningful reviews, and thought out predictions?

All I did was recall the story as I remembered it. The main point of it was the discussion of a proto-Shaper, most widely believed to be what we now know as the Serviles. -------------------- Here will be the pet choices: Potatoe Salmon, Pet Rock, or Sabre-toothed Lime?

All this talk of cycles is nothing new. In fact, it was going on when I first joined around the time of G2, and probably earlier. In the beginning, some idiot figured out how to Shape. We'll call him Prime. This spread out soon to friends, family, etc. and the Original Shapers rose to dominance as there creations became stronger and stronger. Prime, feeling like God for what he had done, treated the peasantry and creations horribly. Eventually, there was a Rebellion, powered by canisters, destroyed Prime's Empire. The creations, led by the Servants, then went on to cause Prime's species into slavery. They soon figured out how to Shape them, and called them Humans. Shaping advanced, until at a point there was yet another Slave Rebellion, the Servants being killed and driven into slavery. The process repeated, with the Humans learning to Shape the Servants, calling them Serviles. Et cetera, Et cetera, ad nauseum. -------------------- Here will be the pet choices: Potatoe Salmon, Pet Rock, or Sabre-toothed Lime? Posts: 1186 | Registered: Friday, June 18 2004 07:00 |

I was referring not necessarily to a strong central government, but a government on the whole. And the Middle Ages not as a time of strong leadership, but as the result of the fall of strong leadership. Now that Reyes has clarified himself a bit, I think that plenty of people are capable of thinking for themselves. However, it's just easier to let the established, successful people pave the way forward, and try to emulate them in order to get the same amount of success. -------------------- Here will be the pet choices: Potatoe Salmon, Pet Rock, or Sabre-toothed Lime?

That's what I said. Though I can understand who my post could be misunderstood. I'm sure that Trakovites would be Barzites if there weren't already Barzites.

The Rebels are not alone in loosing rogues upon the population. The Shapers were the ones who loosed all of the rogues in the Forsaken Lands, along with areas of Burwood. More imporatantly, the Shapers were the ones who sent the clawbugs into the Dillame fields, driving away the farmers and nearly killing them. Undoubtedly some did not run fast enough. Your second point is debatable. We haven't heard much about a Shaper's background before the school, so I'm going to say that this really can't be proven. Although, based on the actions of the Shapers (taxes, mostly), and the general eliteness of the Shapers, I'd say it's more of a plutocratic method of selection, allowing you to rise on your own merits once you're in the ranks. Your third and final point is unlikely, to say the least. The Shapers didn't keep many books on Shaping, as it is said in basically every game. It's mostly just coded notes and word of mouth. Which makes it more likely the Trakovites will succeed, although that is still a dauntingly collosal task. In the unlikely event that the Trakovites actually do destroy all of the canisters and Shapers/lifecraters, it is extremely unlikely that books and notes would be spared the torch. -------------------- Here will be the pet choices: Potatoe Salmon, Pet Rock, or Sabre-toothed Lime?

Trakovites follow Trakovism. Really, if you follow Trakovism, you're a Trakovite. Just go with Trakovite. Trakovites are called such because the word of Trajkov got distorted, and he was the big wise foreigner with no "j" in his name that threw away the temptations of the Geneforge. Khyryk (spelling?) explained it after asked. Or maybe it was the guy in Dillame. Anyways, it wasn't the Drayk. PS, many people feel that Trakovism is equivalent to nuclear proliferation, a good idea but unimplementable. -------------------- Here will be the pet choices: Potatoe Salmon, Pet Rock, or Sabre-toothed Lime?

While we're at it, let's all become brothers and cast off the shackles of the government. Anarcho-Communism all the way! There will never be a war again, and people will forget who to make weapons because no one needs them! Trakovites are just like Hippies and Communists; they have their heads in the clouds of idealism. If this wasn't humanity we were talking about, and some higher enlightened race instead, then Trakovites would have already one. It only takes one to ruin the whole ideology... -------------------- Here will be the pet choices: Potatoe Salmon, Pet Rock, or Sabre-toothed Lime?

Eventually it will become necessary. Earth is being eaten up, and cannot hold much more humans. Already we are seeing droughts, desertification, famines, and we're quickly going through our resources. Overpopulation on Terra will be the death of humanity, through rapid use of our materials, most notably oil. Either cut the population down severely, or get new places for resources. Alternatively, stacking all of your eggs in one basket is dangerous. It would only take one comet to wipe out all civilization completely, to state the most obvious. However, doing this now when we don't have the capabilities is a complete waste of time. Go back to Luna and get some infrastructure there for a "Space Harbor", before even thinking of a manned mission to Martia. -------------------- Here will be the pet choices: Potatoe Salmon, Pet Rock, or Sabre-toothed Lime?
