[OOC] The War of the Three

[Mega Birb]

@Banana
I was about to ask, actually. Eve's still kicking, right?

@TheWindel
Yes but to my knowledge, Sliske needs to reclaim his title as the single most hated person in the Nexus.

[TheWendil]

@Mega Birb

What title. That goes to Victoire by the number of Players who hate her alone.

[Gardevoiran]

@Mega Birb
Yeah, she's around.

Also, established a bit of Harpy Lore. Specifically, most harpies have a subtype (granted by the environment that they grew up in contributing by giving them the subtype via what birds would exist there) that influences what their abilities are. Of the current three PC harpies, Eve is a phoenix (Growing up in Hell surrounded by ash and lava), Maceroy is a raven (intelligent birds that could easily be found in urban places), and Atarah is a dodo (extinct, grew up around the underworld).

Edit: She actually usurped Abigail's position as my main Heaven fighter, which I'm okay with.

@Mega Birb

I guess you are welcome back. That said, Sliske will have to find somewhere else to conquer, giving the current state of affairs of the Nexus and of Hell itself.

Also, yes, he's not even close to being the most hated Demon, much less the most hated character in the whole RP. If you really want to have Sliske earn so much of everyone's dislike, you should do so through IC actions. Show, don't tell, y'know.

[Mega Birb]

@KoL
I know but he once was and needs to be again. 'Tis a goal of mine.

@Banana
There are MORE Harpies!? _{What have I started..?}

[Gardevoiran]

@Mega Birb
An entire race that you put me in control of. The new harpies are relatively recently made.

More importantly, what is Syphax?

[KoL]

Also, two more announcements to everyone.

First, I may, if chance permit, do a post for the Happyverse tomorrow or Thursday. Victoire and Farris are really only going to do something this Saturday.

Second, after analyzing the current state of the RP for sometime, we have decided that no one in the Machina side will be gaining any more cross-faction powers/power ups for the time being. They are already too imbalanced as is, Just look at how many holy/demonic sources of power they have in their faction, so anything new coming to their side much be Machina related (ie: weak to Demons). We can, at our own discretion, verify cross-faction powers/power-ups on a case by case basis and decide if they are legal or not but, as a guideline, the answer is more likely to be no.

This is valid to the other factions in a smaller degree as well. Cross-faction abilities and characters are going to be far more scrutinized from now on, to avoid the situation we are in at the moment, with the Machina faction.

@Mega Birb

When was that? As far as I recall, Sliske never ever did anything worthy of note, for his whole stay in the RP. Unless, you count rage quitting as being noteworthy.

Just name one significant feat that he ever did.

[Mega Birb]

@Banana
Harpy Eagle Eagle Harpy. Fast, vicious, strong. Wisdom is the dump stat.

[Gardevoiran]

@Mega Birb
Add that to his sheet, man. Welcome back to being the leader of a race.

@KoL
If needed, I can have one of BS's swords 'lost' for a bit until the factions are more balanced. Religious Cutlass would be the lost one, though.

[Mega Birb]

@KoL
Somehow got everyone to hate him. Literally everyone. He and Ghelgath almost sent their armies at each other because they had different opinions about Lucille. Victoire wanted his ass on a wall from that one time he barged into her dungeon.

And Henry hated him because reasons. I dunno, they just didn't like each other from the start.

[Lmpkio]

Still waiting for BC to post I think~ Oh hey Birb! Welcome back!

@Mega Birb

Ah, I see, you are talking about him being the buttmonkey of his faction. That's indeed correct.

[Mega Birb]

@Banana
Both sheets are updated now, feels good man. These Harpys are gonna be dripping in leadership once everyone is reintroduced.

Also can someone fill me in on the Happyverse deal? Not hard to figure out from the name but context would be nice.

[Gardevoiran]

@Mega Birb
Basically, characters left the Nexus and went to the Happyverse, a happy place that isn't the nexus.

Also, Eve is still the only PC harpy that fights for heaven, not including Syphax. Maceroy fights for the Machina (and is Eve's father from a forever ago), and Atarah fights for Hell.

Edit - Whoo boy, that's an awkward family reunion.

[Mega Birb]

@Banana
Huh, I guess there is some mercy here.

Also, I know Eve had some baggage but Syphax is not ready for that level of daddy issues. Imagine the dinner conversation...

"Syphax, this is my father, Maceroy."
"Hello sir, I'm the man your daughter has been dating and also the one that saved our race you ungrateful sack of shit."
[color=whatevermaceroyscoloris]"What?"[/color]
"Nothing, what's for dinner?"

@Mega Birb

There's a link for the first post of the Happyverse on the 0th IC post (the first one of the 1st IC page).

Also, I hope that you are aware now, that the harpies never ever did anything for Celestia except producing a lot of betrayers (or at least noteworthy ones), if the PC ratio is any indication of that. In your absence, we had a lot of discussion about their race and the kind of impression we have of it as GMs. The best advice I can give you at this moment is... thread lightly.

[Mega Birb]

@KoL
Well if that's the case, I wanna explain something: I've had nothing to do with any of this for the past three months so I have no idea what you're talking about.

What I do know is that I didn't excpect people to create harpy characters that would discredit the entire race. Most of them should be being used as aerial soldiers in Heaven's army, so they're doing something productive. Not everyone's meant to stand out here. Syphax, Eve, Maceroy and Atarah are in positions of power among them and have differing views, and thus took different sides.

This is me justifying that I had no idea how this would pan out since I expected it to be a goal that would be reached endgame. If there's a problem I can address let me know.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Mega Birb A huge amount of the gripe comes from Syphax's "Juno of the Skies" thing you kept trying to push. GMs were not happy about that.

As for Atarah, she's really just a punk. I doubt anyone in Hell respects her, so I didn't bother giving her a title.

[Gardevoiran]

@Mega Birb
I established like... long ago that most harpies were kinda shit. I think that was established while you were here. It's the IC reason why Syphax hasn't been fighting, because when you dropped, I had him leave to train harpies full time. That way, you could return and have him fight at any time when you returned to take Syphax, if you did.
