Just went and took a look. Over seven hundred posts in the random-fight section of Legdoor, barely sixty combined between Persistent Worlds and Metaverse. And most of those, on casual glance, seem to be some bizarre reworking/continuation of the old Val'gara nonsense, which is not what I would have picked to tell a memorable story.

Oh well. To each their own I suppose.

Do you really expect the metaverse to have that many threads open already? Lagedorre is a still-growing forum, but the potential is there, there most of us have been RolePlaying nearly as long as Reno has, so we have the experience required to actually build something great and long-lasting. One of those threads "End of An Era" probably should've taken place in the metaverse section instead of Battle Arena, however, it was originally intended to be just a fight, but a lot of us saw a grand opportunity to drive our collectively-related storylines into a chaotic climax and see where we went from there.

In no way was it a re-working of the history the Val'gara had already written for themselves on AnimeLeague. In fact, that "End of An Era" thread you read was more like our own version of a civil war between members, however, there is a lot of unknown backstory to them that you were, and without blame, simply unaware of, so I can understand why you may not have picked it. The Val'gara have a lot of unexplained history that only a few people know or care about, Guts and I being those two, whereas I saw you as just being another member of the group looking to harvest planets and turn them into bio-force.

Side-note: Guts and myself generally have a shit-ton of action packed threads which involve lots of fighting, with action being the predominant precursor, and we just let the plots unfold from there. It's just our style.

Heh...to avoid any further confusion, allow me to lay out in detail the reasons I hitched up temporarily with the Valgs. Mostly because I really don't want people to think that senseless mass devastation was the reason.

1.) A group which was, in effect, a wholesale ripoff of the Tyranids with Saikick Powwerz attached required a Carnifex. Since none of the rest of you were doing it, I decided to give it a shot. Turned out I missed, but I gave it a shot anyways.

2.) It was something unusual and completely against my normal preferences, and thus allowed me to stretch my wings a bit and test my writing in a vein I've never had an interest in before. Or since, really. Or even during all that much - you and Guts are pretty bad at threading storyline opportunities through your universe-eating space monsters, man. Especially when the player involved wasn't trying to be as gross and nasty and EVULZ as possible.

3.) You jaggoffs were going after the Psions, and the Psions pissed me off. Never more so than when Tacitus decided to use the entire fucking solar system as his personal bludgeon. FUCK THAT GUY.

Heh...I honestly kinda regret never getting a chance to finish/play Genesis back then. She was something that might have really rocked the boat back when the Valgs consisted of more than you and Guts...or, alternatively, Guts would've taken one look at the profile and told me in the subforum that she'd been eaten by Brobdingnag and I should never mention her again.

Either way, however, it was not out of any desire to go and ruin as many folks' shit as possible. That's your thing, you and Crat. I honestly rather detested that about the Val'Gara, and while I still don't feel I deserved the open scorn I got for my performance in the Psion invasion, I also don't really regret having been more-or-less banished from the group afterwards.

Jorsham von Gigglesby: You sure you wanna say shit like that, man? I might take you seriously, and then you'd be in trouble, boah :P Hm hm...though Cort did lay the sacred burden of your continued brutal humiliation combat training on me when he left. I have been remiss in my duties. Hmm...

Heh...Reno's thread first, Jorsham. Business before pleasure; we need to get these initial meet-up games sorted out before we can do much else, eh?

Okay, I am trying to put my feelings about the Crew in the past and move on, because I think that's the mature thing to do, but now you're pretty much just hurling claims at every Val'gara member, and just being an outright dick by hurling all these insults and accusations.

How? I did myself the favor by looking up Tyranids and found some similarities such as the psi-linking, and the fleet types used. It looks more like he took some of their basic concepts and then simply built on them.

If you're going to critique our story-telling skills, do it in a way that provides insight, not just brow beating. Name a thread, give an example... something besides empty insults. More importantly, who are you, an outsider to tell us what does and does not make sense when it comes to threading story-lines, in a group you've contributed to primarily through the creation of NPCs and three threads, one of which you abandoned: "A Door In The Mind"

ICly, it was the logical thing to do and it benefited the Val'gara as a whole greatly. Also, Tacitus has gained notoriety for being an idiot when it comes to fighting, and he has no grasp of the concept of moderation.

Aristocrat and I do not attack people simply because we're bullies who like to fuck up other group's shit. I joined the Val'gara because I love playing monsters, and anyone who has so much as glanced at my profile section on lagedorre would know that. Aristocrat joined because he looked up to Guts, and we were already familiar with him from that godawful HallofRecords website owned by the infamous Eric Martindale.

I also don't think you realize that RR thrives on conflict. It was a competitive RolePlaying community, people are supposed to fight, attack other people's groups, defend themselves against other groups, and the Val'Gara embodied that raw carnage by beating and kicking the shit out of whoever opposed us. Either way, from a player's standpoint, it's no-less vexing than the writing style that seems more like raw trolling, than the goofy, IC playing styles that just happen to be the Yggdrasil Crew's forte.

Hell, both of us acknowledged Drat's stupidity when he decided to attack the Yggdrasil Crew, and we rolled with it anyway, because there was already enough tension going on, all of RR pretty much hated the Yggs (you more than anyone, LaserLight), and fighting it out would've been the best way to resolve the issue and see who was really the better players without it devolving into more OOC bitching and arguing.

Frankly, no one in the Val'gara has a thing they need to prove to the Ygg after we successfully won the Entropic Passages thread, despite you claiming that you were not only going to win, but rub the victory in our collective faces by destroying the entire place immediately afterwards. And you have the audacity to call myself and Aristocrat the bullies?

You left by your own volition, we didn't banish you, or encourage you to gtfo, however, with all the constant critiquing you like to hurl around at others, it is no surprise that a lot of us had our reasons for not liking you. I believe we kept you around due to your productivity as a member, but attitude-wise, you were an immense nuisance and hypocrite; the critique who can't take what he dishes out.

Nobody won Entropic Passages though. I mean there wasn't really any fights or anything. Plus the judgement of that thread was heavily flawed in that it didn't even take all relevant posts under consideration. For instance, I recall that some of my own posts were factored into the judgement, even though I wasn't directly involved in any of the fights. That being said, my posts (those that were judged) were actually awarded more points than any others.

There was a reason why there was so much hate towards the Ygg. A lot of it was because of me and my peculiar ways, I guess. That, and fear. That's why Drat and the people who cooperated with him decided to get me banned from AL before attacking. They did not want to risk having to deal with the Crew at full strength. They figured that cutting the head off would weaken the Crew just enough to make victory possible.

Naturally, Drat underestimated the Crew's ability to adapt. Also, he grossly underestimated my ability to lead even while shackled behind the scenes. You remember what happened. You eventually turned against Drat, just like practically everyone else, because you realized that it would be next to impossible to actually take the Crew down, even with me technically being out of the picture.

Hilariously, even that aspect of Drat's plan failed, since it took him so damn long to get anything done, my ban had all but expired. Conveniently, he quit the internet shortly before I came back to deal with him (and the few remaining allies he had) personally.

It's unlikely that I would have even needed to get serious, either. Just like with Mewtwo, I would have strung him along like the medium-talent hack that he is.
