n____n . . . I'll admit that the two of you are practiced in my art. Who knows, you might even learn a bit from me and become actual rivals. But I much doubt it! Well, anyway, I acknowledge your displays. We should be chummy, you know, three people of one kind. Well, I guess I might rank little above you two, but it's close enough so that it wouldn't matter, now would it? Let's be chums, hey? Chums!

Rrargh?! He collects souls? A secret hobby? ... You must tell me all about this. Chaotic Neutral for me. Heheheh. I'm a coward, but when things won't put me in peril, I'd help others. I should be Chaotic Good. Probably.

Khalazdad is the shades' agent and that's enough for me. Good or bad? Dunno. But then, what is something that strongly characterizes him as bad besides that he might not bathe?

Humm? Why shouldn't they ask? Just because some rpc doesn't want to tell people what they plan to do and feel like they shouldn't be bugged about it? That's fine enough, but I don't think it's outside of a player's right to ask. I'd expect it, really. It's not like players just like bothering rpcs and want to find excuses for it. They want those documents and you volunteered to distribute them. Who knows, maybe with enough pestering a rpc might be convinced that doing an unnecessary thing isn't so bad after all, and then players'd be able to know something is going to happen with those documents. Not completely pointless, stupid and annoying, is it? I'm not exactly sure about the purpose of not telling players what you plan to do with document distribution (assuming it's not because you don't want to go through the small bother of putting a sentence or two in your quest log). I think, if I don't know, others don't know, and thus they don't feel guilt for pestering about those documents. It's not necessary to do the suggestions instead of complaints and threats.. I just think they'd help, and the rpcs who are making such a fuss over it instead of doing an unnecessary but easy thing are a bit overly irascible. They can continue complaining and threatening instead, though I don't see why.

I wonder how much time I spent total writing it.. n_n; I don't know if shades are completely immaterial and if they have matter or not, but I at least know they're not made out of flesh and bones.

I'm not saying they are the reasons why he would do such things~ Just that there are possible reasons. It's just my own opinion that he's sane enough and does all things with a rational purpose and that is why I suggest possible reasons. But I would question first whether or not he actually killed puppies, just like I questioned first whether or not he actually licked blood off of that sword. As for hygiene.. well, you know, when you're as busy as Khalazdad you don't find the time to bathe so often. You grow comfortable being dirty. Where did you get this one from? His description of himself for that one portrait contest? The people who lick dust are born lacking a mineral that others are born having. Their body tells them to lick dust just like spiders instinctively know what they should prey on based on their late diet--if they've been eating lotsa prey with lipids, they go for prey with protein, and vice versa.

I think we all can hate aspects of ourselves. It speaks of a great moral conscience for Khalazdad to acknowledge hateful aspects of himself. Being egocentric is not necessarily good. The adventure log? Written by the Archivists. I'm not altogether sure they don't make up things in order to try make their writing more interesting. That's not to say they do, but I do doubt. I would be interested in hearing their reply to this doubt specifically concerning whether or not Khalazdad licked blood off of a sword. And if he did lick blood off of the sword.. well, maybe blood has some sort of nutrient he lacks. There's a phenomena, you know, of people who do things like lick dust off curtains because they lack a certain mineral. Or he may even have done that to make people uneasy. Or, like you said, he could be crazy. Who knows? Does it matter? The shades picked him. If he severs his own light, it's for a purpose. Khalz has incredible devotion to his causes. What is light for anyway? Define this light. If I had to guess, I would say it's the same light which makes him hate himself.

Speaking of which, will you update the topic's member list? It looks pretty outdated. Did Paul quit?

I dunno-ay much about Khalazdad. But the shades recruited him, so? He must be fit as the leader of the Necro alliance. It could be that he's insane. Sometimes he sounds very stressed, and there is the fact in the first place that he said he wouldn't do this sort of thing (leading an alliance for the shades) before he made a sudden reversal--but if it doesn't matter to the shades, then why should it matter at all? As far as I can tell he doesn't act very insanely. Hate is natural thing.

Tch, tch.. since when was it not allowed? Not to mention I was giving genuine comment about your alliance? What's wrong with using your own alliance as a comparison as long as what you say is true, and suggesting an alternative solution for those poor players who only wish for a place to belong to? But nonetheless I edited. Is it pleasing now? Don't confuse humans with shades, ignoramus. :-)

Pitiable. Being unable to enter your own lands and unwelcoming to new players. Well, it's understandable.

WARNING: This game can become a very enjoyable adventure for those who are worthy of its secrets or turn into an addictive nightmare for those who aren't --MagicDuel homepage As for you, Minory, you.. no excuses!

Beheadings? Insane leaders? And traitors? Where are these ideas coming from?

... Well, you know--hnn. It's just that I'm awesome enough to be able to ward off Lu and play MD for about the whole day. I did end up doing two assignments. "We aren't going to watch Code Geass today. Quit that. No! You're not even doing your homework and you're lecturing Yami? No! Exit! Don't you have any shame? It's 11:40 and you've done oh, your study questions for English and you're now on your writing assignment, although it seems like that document's been open for how long?" And so she drags me away when I was trying to make you return to reading. Ironic, isn't it? If I'd been able to stay just a bit longer. . ~ Yes! Yami would've been convinced by my convincing arguments! She would've been able to finish her homework for psychology, calculus, and French class. And finish reading The Inferno. And Paradise on Something. But now you, Yami, you should feel my pain and guilt vicariously. Or something like that. Atone and read Paradise on Something! --You start calling your sister by her ingame name, or a shortened form of it: "Lu-I mean, ****!"

Hmm? Why not join Necro?

Belated reply! Yes, hear the wise words of Calyx! Those of you who are voting A and B.. how do you counter this? Hmm? HMM? Both arguments she presents, of course.

I updated the story-thing to reflect current events, if anyone cares. And don't flame me. Everything I wrote was based on real events ingame--like, all that stuff I wrote about Khalazdad refusing me and being a hypocrite? That was what I told others ingame! It is based on ingame deeds, even if it isn't true! n_n Necrovion~ Shades~

Actually, I am no longer Master of Spies nor a Guardian of the Root (I know, I post this on same day I posted this topic ). This is a copy of words I left to members of the Lorerootian alliance: I know it says on the forum rules not to create "Goodbye" topics. However, I do have sincere words I would like to leave to this alliance which may or may not be useful and interesting; either way, they communicate my true feelings, and I always feel the need to do that. The administrators can delete this if they would like. I am leaving this alliance~ I would like to say that I really liked being a Lorerootian Guardian. I agree with the philosophy of this alliance and I love our community. I know that in the time after I leave this alliance will grow stronger than ever. Loreroot would be my first loyalty and I would stay in this alliance if Necrovion did not have an alliance. I joined the Guardians of the Root as a Necrovion spy. I could've spied in the Golemus alliance or the Seekers of Enlightenment because they both offered me a spot, but Khalazdad placed me in Loreroot. My duty was to report anything that Loreroot did concerning Necrovion. I found myself spying on other groups more than on the activity of Loreroot. In all my time in the alliance, I never reported anything that could've damaged Loreroot or help Necrovion (greatly)--an attestation to the strength of the guardians which garnered my great respect. I was planning to stay and become the Master of Spies in the alliance, reporting to Khalazdad information from spies who thought they reported to Loreroot. However, today I was notified that Khalazdad no longer feels the need for a spy to moniter Loreroot. It is a symbol of his faith in any of Loreroot's decisions that may occur in the future. He said I could stay in Loreroot if I wanted--because I might still be of use despite a lack of need--but I could not resist the temptation to be true to all and openly show my devotion to the Necrovion shades now that the opportunity has come. I hope Necrovion and Loreroot can help each other in the future! And now, I will leave Loreroot in time to escape Nelya's wrath--may she suntan in serenity. --- I have unlocked the topic if you wish to respond in this place. I prompt you to do so or pm me if you wish to ask questions about my and Necrovion's actions; I shall willingly respond to anything because I know my devotion is true. And cheers to Necrovion!

Saki-bum; I present to you: A FINE DAY IN THE _____ HOUSEHOLD WITH LU. I tend to neglect my duty as well. But I have Lu to get me on track. It goes like this~ she starts off by making ugly faces at me and shouting. When I ignore her, she pinches my arm repeatedly. "Why don't you work? Why don't you work?" Then she grabs my ears and pulls outward and up several times. She will release them, and then start pulling again. "Work! Work, why don't you?" When I relent to the point of wandering away from the computer and laying on the public bed in our common room, she piles on top of me and starts punching my arm, inserting between those punches--when she's drawing her arm back again--"TWO ASSIGNMENTS! DON'T YOU WANT TO WATCH CODE GEASS?! JUSTFINISHTWOASSIGNMENTS--" another punch. So, when I go to lie on the carpet, she continues punching me for a bit. After a few punches, she realizes the transition warrants another form of coercion. She elegantly places her foot on my face and starts squashing. Press, relieve pressure, then press again. HARD pressure. "No! You don't want to do work? You don't want to watch Code Geass? Why can't you get up and work?!" At which point I finally get up and come here to post this fine example. I claim abuse! I was trying to negotiate with her the whole time, but she's like a machine. She won't listen. Lu can train Minory if you want. EDIT: I sincerely apologize for making this fine topic go offtopic a bit, but you know, I just have that useless emotion called "obligation." I know, I'm too good for my own good.

Heh, I was looking for him too. I think he's actually there, though; there is this one bug in the playerlist (not the rpc list) which hides players in a location. It happened to me once, and to Ren at least twice, and a couple of times to a whole line of playernames. Or maybe it's some secret feature. n_n;

It's killing me, man. I'm twisting in suspense and wondering at every little noise--is this the end? Have some developments finally occurred? Should I be doing something? How effective your tactic is!

I am also open to other options for obtaining information. If you don't want to spy for Loreroot in the purpose of helping the alliance and would rather exchange information or something else, feel free to contact me as well. Anyone may contact me if they want to report a tidbit, regardless of who they are in association with the LR alliance and whether or not they're one of my spies. Often enough information comes our way when we aren't seeking it. I value almost all information about most topics, so I won't grudge anything sent to me.

UPDATE: I am no longer Loreroot's Master of Spies nor part of the Lorerootian alliance!~ Please refer to the third post down. Like any other alliance we maintain an interest in the internal affairs of certain peoples. Currently we are in need of spies, to be blunt. As a spy you will be part of the support group, but you won't be listed in any place others outside the alliance might see. Meaning, you won't be added to the official list of SG members in either the fansite forums or the MD forums. Most likely only I and Nelya will know your identity. For now I am in charge of all espionage activity as spymaster for Loreroot. That means if you want to spy for us, you'll be overseen by and report solely to me. Contact me discreetly; for obvious reasons you should not associate yourself publicly with Loreroot, so don't post here or join the forums. I'll be asking you: Why do you want to help Loreroot rather than another alliance?What is your opinion about the current state of affairs in the MD lands? Do you have any objectives besides helping Loreroot? Why do you want to be a spy rather than help Loreroot other ways? What alliance/group do you think you can infiltrate and spy in most easily, and why? What will tactics would you use in espionage, given the liberty to choose? I reserve the right to tell you how and where to spy, but I tend to believe that people know themselves and their capabilities best so I will consider what you say carefully. I also expect my spies to be flexible and sensible, in case an opportunity or choice presents itself during espionage activity and must be answered immediately. Therefore I will search for signs of such characteristics in your response.

Yeah, updated the post again. Will continue updating as list of members grows, which it happily will. *cough* I would love some more spies. Please pm me if interested.

Humm? You turn your nose at the majesty of the tree? Stupid lout. I make fun of people by you; I laugh at people like you. Hohoho! Ohoho! You'd have to recruit the likes of firestarters for that sort of junk, and even if you could do that, I'm afraid we can prevent further trouble. Easily. Don't doubt the elite Guardians of Loreroot! We can defend from would-be-arsonists! O-OHOHOHO HO HO.
