Thing with bombing the knights is that most of the knights are MIA. >_>; Of course, a lot of the guildspeople are MIA, so... yeah. I think a good part of the reason we aren't fighting each other is because we're trying to have war with friends. XDDD;; A lot of the characters know each other in one way or another, so we have to get past the friendship and into the burning hate. It isn't an easy task, y'know? But yeah, if we can get some angry people, that'd be good. We need more anger, 'cause anger leads to hate. *ponders over straws to make* >_> I had some concerns about this kind of thing in the very beginning of the RP, which is why I decided to make Commander Strife a cold villain. His pattern of thinking is very simple: do what it takes to become as powerful as possible, and kill everyone who tries to oppose him. Of course, from a real emotional standpoint, it would be kindof depressing for me to constantly control such a heartless being, so that's why i'm also roleplaying as Leoness. ^_~ Speaking of which, i'm really interested to see what kind of battle emerges inside the castle. Hopefully, tons of people won't flock to my position and fight me just because i'm one of the nastier bad guys. Should that happen, i'd probably run for dear life. xD

Or you could just call for backup I can be backup Or would be if something was happening close enough for me to get to, since right now Amneiger is standing in the middle of the forest with nothing to do. >>

She only ever cares about her ship and her crew, in that order, and tolerates the rest based on convenience. She's mostly been doing her own thing throughout the RP (looking for wealth via the gem, then looking for protection for the ship, then keeping her crew together and well, and then seeking revenge with the Knights). But she hasn't had a reason to go to war, other than with the Knights, which she won't do solely because of Kat and Ikkin. Thus we sortof come to a dead end until some other group does something to seriously tick her off. ...I could go squish the Mercs in the meantime :]

[glow=red,2,300]Another problem is that our PC villains (the Spacefleet), well, very few people know that they exist and they're here. (The superstitious Rider is still blaming Fraze's dropship on ghosts and the like.) I'm waiting for Speck to tell us why she got so battered so I can be all, "why the fail, there's an alien force that's restricting our freedom and beating up and recruiting our best friends! Let's torch 'em!"
(Recruiting, by which I mean Keng.)[/glow]

Or you could just call for backup ...That would work. xD I'm waiting for the Invisible Guild to respond to my attack, so if you guys are lurking out there... yeah, just a heads-up. ^^;

XDDD; Please do something with the mercs. >_> I wouldn't have RPed Jernath over to the pirate ship if I had known he'd be standing around doing nothing.

At this point we've been having seventy pages of prologue, and no Guild Wars to speak of. I remember all this fuss about overplanning back on the days, but at this point it looks like we underplanned. There are no sides to speak of. The Fleet is being bad guys (props for that), the Invisibles are being bad guys (more props for that), the Pirates are generally stirring trouble and doing their own thing, Mercs are standing around, Mages are having tea, and Knights are present-not-present. So the next time we do this, we should elect some random guild to be the Designated Bad Guys beforehand? xD

Uhh, Invisible Guild, I didn't really intend to aim that fireball at Strife. ._. I aimed it up at "the higher-up in that group" - which would be the sub-commander Surly. I was kinda hoping Strife wouldn't notice for a bit so I could cause some chaos first.
Whatever, I guess.

... I guess I'll have to stir up some third-party trouble with you guys. My characters have been thinking all the time that the Pirates and the Spacefleet are both evil due to the gem.

They're guest posts, so they can't be edited if there's a mistake. <_<;; I'll edit my post so that it makes sense, though. I can have Surly dodge the fireball so that it heads for The Commander instead.

"The sleeper has awakened" she said, a quote with a double meaning appropriate for the situation she was now in. World of Warcraft! … Unless WoW was referencing something with that quest. I wouldn't be surprised if it was. Blizzard has a lot of references in their games, there are even guides on them on GameFAQs.
