Back for a wee bit; and i have me here some good questioners

So i have myself basically locked in my house here for about the next week doing nothing but math. To make a story short, I have to complete over a semester's worth of math online before a deadline to get into college this fall (despite the fact I've already been accepted and everything), and if i don't finish in time I probably won't be able to go.

Well sitting at a computer doing nothing but math (and no teacher at that, so it can be a bit challenging at times, especially when it takes 4 or 5 hours to answer a single question) feels like it's been sucking the life out of me, and that i've just been turning into some equation-doing zombie.

So I decided this would be a good time to come back and see what everyone's up to. A good way for me to take a break as well as keep me stuck to the computer so I don't feel as inclined to randomly wander away chasing after moths or something (believe me after hours and hours of numbers it can be very tempting).

Although I hope i didn't come in at a time when this place is near-dead (as has happened from time to time).


A couple of questions though, first off, I remember I while ago we ere doing that role-playing thing, you know, with the White realm being invaded by the... other... people... the Westlanders or something I really can't remember, Rudder was one and Lathaon too, methinks. Anyways I was a bit distracted after i started and ended up dropping out, but does anyone care to say what happened after that? not really in detail but just the basics? I can't even remember what happened to my character, must've walked off the face of the earth or something.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd now that I think about it I actually don't have many questions. Just that one.


SOooooooo, what's up yall? :P







And hey wow, I just realized I put this in the completely wrong fucking forum. not sure why i thought this was Introduction forum, but hell whatever. i mean i guess this could count as off-topic...

Hey man,

Well you helped at the castle and then have just been used as soldier bodies, god knows where you are. There is now an alliance between Weissland and the white realm. The undead lord has risen and the undead are causing anarchy in both countries. So Sunny and others (ME) have ridden to shiverland to cleanse it. And in Weissland all sorts is going on.

lol knowing you guys you probably had me become a sex-slave or something. :P


Sounds good, I didn't know it was actually still going on though, it's been like almost 2 years. I'm impressed. Do most people still play or are there only a few of you now? (Not like there were tons from the start or anything)

Hey Welcome back Jack!

Great to see you again; I do pity you though, hope you get that math done soon.

Hey hey! And yeah not only is it still going on, it now has its own offshoot roleplay too :P I have about as much idea as you in regards to what has been happening in the original RP though, just kinda wading into the morass of fantasy musings, flintlocks blazing ^_^

hah true true. Who knows, after the math business is done and I have more time I might end up joining again, since I kind of miss "free writing", which i'm sure you guys know what i'm talking about.


And thanks for thy pity, HIC ;), it does suck though, I'm really not sure if I'm going to be able to go to college or not right now.

Lots of people still participate, not everyone who started just as new people have joined in. The problem is its too in depth now for people to fully grasp.

I see, makes sense too. People who join in now wouldn't really be able to grasp what all has happened and so can't really understand what is really happening now.

The last major event i remember was the battle at Ortin Castle, which might have been some time ago :rolleyes:

You know Lord Sunnycool was killed, the High Marshal grew a second head, the White City was burned down by dragons, and the Dark Council took over Weissland, right?

Uhhhh... I can see Sunny killing off his character :rolleyes:, and all of the other stuff sounds entirely reasonable, with the exception of Andy growing a second head.

Wtf? Are you messing with me? :ph43r:

Well, you could read through the entire White Realm RPG forum and subforums to find out :ph43r:

How do you know Mordain didn't cast a spell to grow Andy a second head anyway? :P

Because Mordain is a sweet soul who would never do something like that to one of his enemies, no matter how much they piss him off ^_^





So, does Andy and his new head bicker at each other at all? Like which one actually gets to eat the chicken when they have dinner? That'd be fun to watch. Maybe it's like the ogres from Warcraft II, who fart and then blame each other, each saying it was the other. :rolleyes:

Hmm, how would that work if they both have the same body? :unsure:

That RPG seems to have slowed down recently, probably due to Ariakas' inactivity. If you want to get involved, I would suggest looking through the New World RPG forum instead. It's just starting, so there isn't really that much to have missed. ;)

LOL!

You should rejoin the RP, so I can kill you :P

Actually, the Lord dying is not entirely a lie...

Good to see you back, Jack! I think you may be interested in knowing that one of the major sub-plots in the original RPG is centered around the mysterious Dragon Battalion and its war with the Serpent Clan.

Tell me if you want to know more :D

Then I have some links to give you (should be read in that order):

http://fhag.wikidot.com/notable-dragons

http://fhag.wikidot.com/memorable-memories-of-the-realm ("Retaliation" is really the one of interest there, but makes little sense if you have not read "The Corsairs Strike Back")

http://fhag.wikidot.com/secret-meeting-in-anvil (this is from the RPG, but it's shorter than the rest)

That's about everything that has been written about the Dragon Battalion. Happy reading :P

The top ones are the most essential, really, but the other ones are exciting as well!
