HTW RP OOC - Part 2

[Athreon]

Preeety sure even Lybrenna didn't have access to the technology needed to split the atom. :p

[TheHylianJuggalo]

That depends. Just watch what I do.

I promise you all, I'm not stepping into Onirix/Pharos territory any time soon.

Farln's capture is not common knowledge, least of all to any Gerudo. The Ordonian High Command is still getting the word. Alenia and Evithia only know because they are part of the same squad that witnessed it (Alenia herself was there when it happened).

Asharin was informed by Selma some pages back thanks to her special position. I can discuss the position in pm or steam if you like if gaia hasn't told you

[Avatar of the Ice Wolf]

@ZeR0

The problem with that is that Selma shouldn't even know...

[ZeR0199X]

@Avatar

I will remove the question. It's no problem

@Avi & Zer0
Sorry, guess I got the timeline mixed up. Or... okay, I' a bit confused here. Group goes to patrol the south. Blins show up. Group splits, up Selma goes to Larusl. Battle ensues, many die, Farln stays behind to fight Bigblin so that everyone else can get away.
From there I assumed that Selma and her guys would go from Larusl to Mes Ordona, and that the other half of the group that had Farln with them woudl return to Mesu ordona as well. And that one of the Gerudo survivors of that group would tell Selma "that annoying knight was last seen engaging a Bigblin."
So would it be correct that Selma would have known that Farln was last seen alive, but has not received any intel about him being carried off and therefore simply assumes he died fighting the Bigblin?

@Gaia

It's cool I changed my post and she won't say a word about him

@gaia

Mostly correct, except the group got separated in the forest and the only ones who actually saw Farln engage the Bigblin were Sinteiria and Alenia. And of those two, Sinteiria was the only one who watched the battle, and even she didn't stick around to the end. Her report, which was kept on a need-to-know basis in order to not cause panic since it was unconfirmed, considered Farln KIA. The only ones outside the Rangers who were given any information regarding this were Caiml and those present with him, and that's only because Caiml needed to take Farln's place.

Evithia was tracking the way the Blins were moving and noted that some captives were being taken alive. This is leading her to hope against the odds that Farln is among those. Alenia still presumes Farln KIA. Only Evithia and Kalia are aware that Farln is the main objective.

Announcing the presence of a nuclear device to the world is basically screaming to Onirix, "Please come steal this."

"Beric! Great news! We don't have to go the Shadow Temple anymore!"

"What? Why not?"

"Because there is no Shadow Temple anymore."

"...."

[Avatar of the Ice Wolf]

Onirix with nukes? I'll have to teleport a few select people to another world and start over...

And it's perfectly fine that he would be the bragging sort, it fits perfectly. I just wasn't sure what was fact and what was exaggeration.



This is the line that threw me, though. If a Lizalfos blade could cut through it, then I doubt it would hold up too well against the much heavier blades that the Darknuts carry.

And I don't mean to be picky, I just prefer to know where it stands.

Mind you said blade was forged from Crimsonine. It's not gilded like Cerule's Aquanine sword, but Yurak has been sharpening it almost religiously since the day he got it. It's not perfect, but it's some of the best work any of the smiths have ever made.

Why is it I see Labrynna's old anthem sounding disturbingly similar to the old Soviet one?

I'm not doing anything until Argos does something in regard to the situation, too much has happened.

Ugh, reminds me of "First Day Commie Kids" who see a video of a Soviet Military Parade and go nuts

[TheHylianJuggalo]

If you're thinking I'm like that kind of person, no. In reality, I'm far too right for my own good to be considered a communist anyway. I was thinking of potential anthems for the factions in this game, and for some reason, my mind believed Labrynna's to be 'Soviet-esque'. Don't know why.

[Dirty Chai]

Oh, no, I didn't mean that towards you, sorry. I'm not sure what was written in the RP, so I just responded to what you posted here.
There's just a lot of people who try to insert Soviet-ness in places all the time; I wasn't trying to suggest you were. I apologize.

About Labrynna though, I really find it out-of-character with the rest of the world to make Labrynna so "modern".
Yes, Neph gave them gunpowder and superior technology. But shouldn't that just suggest Renaissance, not so much Industrial Revolution?

[Brihentin13]

That's what I was thinking. More "crazy Leonardo Da Vinci schemes", less practicality.

[Avatar of the Ice Wolf]

I think that's just Mihkael, really. The best things our Labrynna has are the same steam tanks and mechs that Neph gave them.

[VictorAYorke]

Why is it I see Labrynna's old anthem sounding disturbingly similar to the old Soviet one?

I would have thought it would be more like this, something orchestral and militant in theme with tonnes of strings and several things going on at once. The old Soviet anthem is maybe too choral and minimalistic to represent a diverse, precise and highly coordinated nation such as Ambi's Labrynna.

Plus, the Soviet national anthem (plus the RA3 theme) makes everyone think of the USSR, rather than Labrynna. It's kind of a shame we have very little Labrynnian cosmopolitan / civilian culture to draw from too, their musical themes would be rather interesting to think about.

[Dirty Chai]

Welp, just made a heavy-hitting Tantalis post.
The Pale Blin and the Dead Prince will follow suit.
