Amoran Kalamanira Kol Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I will be honest. I have not been active recently, but I was absolutely disgusted to log in and find that the once 30 member-strong alliance: The Children of the Eclipse, the thing that I and so many others had put so much effort into was disbanded... Due to lack of members? Was there not a request placed by Pipstickz to the Council to have the member count reduced so that it could be returned to us? I have chosen to try one last time.. to give one last small effort toward regaining our alliance. I petition that the Children of the Eclipse be returned once and for all to the members who worked so hard for it to be what it had been. Please post if you support this effort. I know it is a stretch, but I believe that there are those in the community who would want to see the Children of the Eclipse alliance revived and returned to it's founding members. Please post if you support this effort. Seigheart, Chewett, J-D and 16 others 13 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apophys Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) I have never been a CotE member, nor do I have any affiliation with Loreroot, but, unlike with other alliances, I am very saddened to see this one be disbanded. I support this effort. Edited June 7, 2012 by apophys dst and Tal 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tarquinus Posted June 7, 2012 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 There has been some frustration among CoE players about the loyalty mechanic and some negative undercurrents in the MD community in general. That said, I think Lord Pip's coup did much to awaken us to our disconnection from the game, and more importantly, its "reality". I am not talking about "roleplaying", as much as I like it, but about the nature of MD as an experience, as allegory, and as a means of communicating in a different way from what you usually find on the Internet. In my view the CoE still exists. It doesn't have official status (i.e. a badge), but it started without one. Several people have shown that they still believe in what the CoE stands for, and I think it is time I came out of my semi-dormant state to show my support. But this is more than a matter simply of popularity. There are two issues: belief and focus. As to the first, we believe in fairness, the sharing of knowledge, and the development of [i]character[/i] - not in the sense of a character in a game, but in the sense of a person's ethics, behavior, and beliefs. As to the second, I have felt for almost a year now that the CoE has needed to change its focus with respect to the reality of MD as it has been revealed. We will show you entertaining (we hope) characters on the way, but I think we should examine what "the moon" means to MagicDuel and why the sun never sets. The CoE is not a collection of cultists devoted to a rock floating in space. For a time we were the largest alliance in MD. There's no reason that can't happen again. I fully support Amoran's petition, but I would like to say that I appreciate the idea that changes happen in MD because they are earned.

Karak Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) Having been like my esteemed brother in arms, Lucius Tarquinus, am one of the founding members of the alliance. Together we have seen many changes in the realm. Much has been uncovered through the efforts of the members of the Children of the Eclipse and many festivals enjoyed by the masses. Evolution is a strange thing and as we grow we see the world from a whole new angle. The moon was once found and shone in a darkened landscape but, the code was lost in the sands and minds of a few now departed. The moon, though hidden to many has inspired a strong following as has been alluded to. We did not shrink from membership but were forcefully ejected and not permitted to return. Instead we chose to stand tall for our faith and what we represented: respect, loyalty, ethics, honour and all that is good in people. I would throw my ancient weight behind this petition. Ever have we been steadfast to our faith and cause. The badge was but a symbol of our dedication. We shall continue, in anonymity if necessary as it was in the beginning, but would be all the better for being known in the realm.

Root Admin Chewett Posted June 7, 2012 Root Admin Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Provided something good actually comes of this, that being some form of visible action, i would support this.

Udgard Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I think the CoE being disbanded for lack of members is one of the stupidest thing I've seen. Stupid, as before the takeover they have more than enough member, and since when do you need a lot of team to takeover an alliance or risk it get disbanded? Well, rant aside, I support this.

Fyrd Argentus Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 The alliance should be reinstated, to reflect the reality of the community spirit which is the essense of CoE. It lives, it should be recognized by the game mechanics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maebius Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I will have to agree here. While the pure mechanics of "an alliance is removed if less than X members" in this case there was a takeover (which is not always a bad thing) but the spirit of the Alliance stays strong, and vocal, and active. Thus, the "alliance" in it's most true sense, still exists. This is especially odd to me if there were petitions to "save it" by the one who has taken over Alliances. That, to me, showed CotE should remain in existence, particularly while other, older, Council requests go un-answered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Chewett Posted June 7, 2012 Root Admin Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Actually, as someone pointed out to me there have been no offical petitions to get the alliance back because of: [quote name='Tarquinus' timestamp='1331459772' post='106285'] I have chosen to work toward regaining the CoE badge through in-game means - when I said I thought that if we couldn't regain the badge through merit, we didn't deserve to have it, I was not merely spewing rhetoric. But I feel that I can't let your posting about why you will continue to hold the CoE badge without making any real use of it go unanswered. You surely realize you have upset people and made the game less fun for more than one person. You must be aware that your posts, particularly the second one in which you admit that Poe made this remark to you "quite some time ago", make you seem vindictive, grudge-bearing, and judgmental. [/quote] It would be interesting to hear other CoE members views on this, i can only assume this has changed since amoran, who i believe is a senior CoE member, has started this pertition. However i know little of the inner CoE structure, so she might just be starting it on her own without permission. again this is just conjecture.
