Zadubadabu

From Stardust, to Stardust: Tales of Andromeda, a Sci-Fi Fantasy RP

For silent falls the guilty sun As day to dark does turn. One simple truth, she dare not speak Her light can only blind and burn.

From Stardust, to Stardust: Tales of Andromeda, a Sci-Fi Fantasy RP

Ask not the sun why she sets. Why she shrouds her light away. Or why she hides her glowing gaze. When night turns Crimson gold to gray.

For what reason would Duck pretend to be Zadubadabu (who has a delightfully whimsical name, by the way)?

@Samebito

It's a long story. Basically, because of a convo I had with Duck over Steam, I started to get more and more wary of him. When the Roa'marri came up, I was like "ERMAHGERD TEH NAEM" (Which is admittedly a terrible accusation to begin with, but I was pretty mad due to other circumstances at that point). Being the paranoid bastard I am, I started scrutinizing everything, and the magic-giving was a giant source of "Ermahgerd altz Duck wud totallyzz do dat". In hindsight, Duck really wouldn't make alts for personal advantage. That is NOT his style. Apologies for being all paranoid, I was under a lot of stress recently, and stress always clouds judgement. Especially with me, I can go somewhat insane under stress. In other news, Zabudabu does have a great name. Reminds me of that show I watched a billion years ago, the one with the lemur. (Thank god that giant blob of replies stopped, that was horrible)

@Keyguyperson

Fun fact, the United New Roa'marii Empire is a modified version of an empire I made with a friend of mine. That empire was called the United Empire of New Rome. I laughed quite a bit when I saw Duck post his New Roman Empire. As well as noticing a surprising amount of similarities between Duck's Romans and mine. Edit: I could still be an alt of Duck's we could all be alts of Duck. Even you Keyguyperson.

@Zadubadabu

BUM BUM BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM. WE'RE ALL ALTS. ALL OF US. WE'RE ALL JUST DUCK.

@Keyguyperson

My god, I think you're right. I never even realized I was Duck before.

@Durandal

Maybe 're all actually different figments of duck's mind, and Duck himself is the controller of our world... THE MATRIX

@WilsonTurner

What if Duck is God, and we're all only alts in technicality because HE IS SUBCONSCIOUSLY CONTROLLING US?!?

@Keyguy, I've been meaning to post for a while now, but when I was writing it up my computer crashed and I lost my post. I haven't found the time to rewrite it. I'll get it up soon though. Hopefully.

@Zadubadabu

By the way did I ever mention Keyguy accused me of being you?

@duck55223

Well, you're both online at the same time now, so I guess that accusation is gone. Which is good. I was scared for a bit there.

@Keyguyperson

I could be a Rogue skype account on my tablet, and Willy skype account on my computer, and a Duck account on my laptop. For all you know, I'm all three- but I was on on all three, and everyone might assume that, oh, it's not one person. Trust is really all we have.

@WilsonTurner

Very true. But we have to remember that Duck DOES have a younger brother, and those of you who have ever been to a house with a younger brother in it knows what that's like. Basically, I'm willing to ignore all the possibilities because I happen to like a good story, and me testing people constantly makes for a terrible story.

@Keyguyperson

I'm the youngest brother. I use airhorns and silly string on my brothers when they come home, and then beat them with rubber swords.

@WilsonTurner

That's how it works, all right. Lucky me, I'm an only child. EDIT: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand the giant reply blob is already back.

@Keyguyperson

Is it? I never noticed. Oh! There it is! I still don't think it's quite as bad as

Consideribg covenant ships can actually be just a few hundred meters from the ground, they are clearly built to take gravity, at they very least they can withstand more than 4 times the gravity of Earth (Which covenant ships would have to be able to hold due to "Ti", the homeworld of the Lekgolo) and I would personally wager they could handle more. Furthermore, as demonstrated in Halo 4. A rag tag fleet of covenant ships recieving little to now maintainance in over 4 years is pulled into a forerunner planet by a gravity well and yet many ships survive and are fully operational to the best of our knowledge. Also, such a stratergy would be impractical; The power requirement would be too immense and the generator would likely end up damaging its self (Remember that the gravity would work on the boosters, shield generators, presumably the shields, the power cells etc,attached to the device, and if it is powerful enough to crush fleets its powerful enough to implode...

@darkwolf687

Stop ruining my ideas with your logic IT'S SCIENCE FICTION ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE /me falls into the sky

@WilsonTurner

It's Science Fiction Fantasy, even the impossible is possible. Including making the possible impossible through making the impossible possible because WE HAVE MAGIC AND NANOBOTS. MAGIC. AND NANOBOTS. NOTHING CAN STOP US.

@Keyguyperson

And that superduper rare thing that Duck found on one of your core planets from several hundred lightyears away! Dude, you should just mine it before he can get to it, and cart if off as they take the planet :D

@WilsonTurner

Pfft. The Abh are gonna be all like "Oh look they used that glowy blue stuff to build death robots, let's look for that on all of our planet. Oh look our homeworld is made out of it thus explaining it's gravity/size ratio how convenient. Let's make an army of death robots so we can actually invade planets without losing our entire armed forces." Then this roleplay becomes a mecha anime because two nations decided "The only way to invade planets is with giant death robots".

@Keyguyperson

Numero uno problem: The Draconians have antimatter missiles. "OP DEATH BOT SIGHTED!" "LOCKING ON!" *death bot is turned into stardust*

@WilsonTurner

TITLE DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP Then again, antimatter weapons against death bots in atmosphere doesn't strike me as the best idea. Regular missiles? Sure. Antimatter ones? Continents generally like to exist.

Anyone know this 'series'?

@ASTA

Hi there ASTA, planning to join the RP yet?

@Zadubadabu

A) You should know that ASTA probably isn't joining, unless you're not paying any attention or are feigning ignorance, and B)ASTA, you've been told repeatedly to stop posting without joining. Yes, it's right there, I realize thqt, but that's part of the fun- teasing whoever doesn't know that it's right. Congrats, you're ignoring the GM and ruining a joke.

@WilsonTurner

While I support the freedom of people to snark wherever they want, yeah, a lot of the people here really don't want you to stay apparently (I mean, Duck just hates you, but some people surely have legit opinions). Coming from someone who has respect for you, please stop posting here unless you have something nice to say that isn't also an attack. Still technically against the rules, but as you might have noticed, Duck and I aren't fully cooperating. Especially with *COUGH* some things *COUGH* existing in general. Oh yeah, by the way Zab, is there any news on how long until you get your next post out? Don't want to pressure you, it's just that this arc has a lot of potential.

@Keyguyperson

Why are Duck's thoughts considered non-legitimate?

@Samebito

I never said Duck's thoughts were non-legitimate. I said that "I hate you shut up" is not a valid reason for "banning" someone. I very much hope that he had other reasons, but honestly, I feel like the only reason he "banned" Asta was because he was angry at him for taking those shots at him.

@Keyguyperson

Though.

@Samebito

Oh. Oh Jesus. Why would you do this? WHY? ALL HOPE IS LOST! THE BLOB IS BACK IN IT'S TRUE FORM! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

@Keyguyperson

All hail our lord and savior the reply blob. He has come again to share his blobby goodness with the world.

I am not worthy to discuss my race because I only have one measly post! -(>_<)- But I shall. I initially thought that the Romans would have been a bad decision, in part of the Congregation's not-omniscience, to seek knowledge from since they're mostly known for being war-ish, and the Congregation, and indeed the Builder has seen much of that (war that is). But they could perhaps still share their culture and religion, not just the Romus Humans, but the Solusi and Forsythe as well. Also, if the Romans (or anyone in particular) are expecting to form an alliance with... dare I say, one of the most unknown, but powerful races in the galaxy, they have to be extremely persuasive, and appeal to the Congregation's ultimate goal/philosophy which is seeking knowledge. They will, however possibly join an Alliance of multiple race if it is wholly necessary and so that they may perhaps stop a large and eat-y pile of tentacles from devouring the black hole in the center of Andromeda... maybe.

@Mikellh Dejax

If you changed to colony world A-01 then there are currently 6 Roa'marii soldiers there. Half of them double as diplomats. Keep that in mind.

Briggs Fortress

"This'll certainly be an interesting stay. I just might take you up on the offer of some sparring matches with your soldiers." The group then continued towards the fortress, the walls growing ever taller as they closed the distance to the gates.

Arcadia

The Nightmare Emperor was silent a moment before speaking once more. "I will admit, I have never heard of these ABH before. I'd like to know more about them, but it seems you are needed elsewhere. I'll keep this meeting short, but first I'd like to offer my condolences for your citizens who were lost. I will not lie, I have personally committed mass genocide before, long ago, and I am horrified by it. I was not always a sane ruler of the Roa'marii Empire. In our early history I went to great lengths to free us from oppression by an alien nation and lost my mind in the process. I have since gained it back, but not before doing a great many things I regret. If there is any way I can help your people let me know. The Roa'marii are committed to ending these great wars that wipe out entire civilizations. We will support you in your endevor to avenge your fallen planet. Besides, bonds formed between allies on the battlefield are often times the strongest. If you will allow it, a portion of the Roa'marii Battlefleet Beta will accompany you to assist in your war."

Dullahan Keep

In an underground chamber of the keep where ancient stone pillars held up the ceiling of large tunnels, a great many wounded fairies had been layed down on various bedsheets across the chamber. A makeshift medical operation had been set up in the tunnel system, one of the few places in the keep that lacked an abundant amount of metal and the only such place with enough room to house the number of fairies brought in. Many of the fairies had begun to wake from unconsciousness over time, but they still suffered a number of injuries that left most of them incapacitated. In one corner, General Zer'icia Velkorn was mending to a bullet wound one of the fairies had suffered. This specific fairy still clutched a pot of gold in its hands and despite the efforts of a number of doctors would not release his grip. As the general mended to the fairy, his eyes slowly opened and a groan escaped his lips. Then, after a brief moment of confusion, he noticed the general standing above him. Higher up in the Keep, the non fairy wounded were being treated. Roa'marii and xenos alike were layed in cots lining the walls of the medical wing. The Valkyrie had suffered heavy casualties attempting to rescue as many xenos as possible and those that were in the cots were generally missing at least one limb. The xenos were generally better off, few having sustained heavy injuries. Many had waken already and had received an explanation for what had happened and where they were. Those that were capable of work were helping to deliver care to the others of their species by providing much needed information on their physiologies. In one cot lay the Sakari Magus who had been saved by general Sta'falia. He too woke slowly, the overuse of his magic definitely taking a toll on his body. When he realized his situation, he began to panic slightly before flagging down a passing Roa'marii doctor.
