Darkness Ascendant

Finally got around to uploading the photos. Here are some of them. And here....is a weird comic I made last night It's really sad....

Hey! Good luck on your first game! (which one you playing in?). Promise not to get you a D1 lynch (YOU HEAR THAT GUYS? GO EASY ON HER) Welcome to the shard, Stormlight Archive is my fav as well, closely followed by Mistborn era 2. Now go forth into the realm of the shard, arm yourself, for there are cookies to be defeated. Have this one tho It's perfectly safe. Have fun while your here!

Is that your arm??!!! you need to get some meat on those bones my boy. I have this cousin who can hook you up with the meanest chouta dealer you'll ever meet.

Happy you're going to die one day!

Also like Mafiauniverse (collabs with us Sanderson Elimination lads) as well as Theoryland and places.

Mind sharing why you like the Qur'an? Same, alot of my story ideas are fueled by theology and mythology.

True! Good idea...

oh god... that sucks on so many levels... *hug* Bleh, I'll need to dig out my old iron maiden now won't I?

omg I want to play so badly >> Let us see if I shall be able to play.

*cough* It's just the first iteration, by the end it'll be a Tolkien masterpiece Though I do find that interesting....I don't think I'm up to Rothfuss' standard...he's a master at his craft. Thank you so much! (Though I suggest you refrain from double posting, It's looked down upon on the shard)

you should read Ultimate Spiderman. ahh that's too bad

Ollo! EXCELSIUS ...interesting choice of name XD *high five Anyway, welcome to the shard! of course, you are but one among many who fell into the deep spiral of the whirlpool which is the Shard. Fear not, for in the heart of this endless spiral is nothing but the Beyond. I am offend. Boots. Now. Welcome to the shard mon ami, and let us sing in excelsis to the newest member of the fandom! What's the last book? besides, I'm sure there are more to come

Alright, I've been working on a revamped creation myth. Basically the original but with alot more detail and continuity, and I threw alot of "How this was made" into it. I can see how you think they won't make sense but I need a second opinion on this new version. The new version doesn't discount what is said before, and reveals that the entire thing is written in the form of a letter from Void to his chosen "messenger/prophet" (Not written by Void as he cannot be corporeal, but through Void's son Life-It'll make sense when I finish transcribing this >>). The Mariner, mariner, mariner....it was originally a comic written to release some stress...it has evolved alot since then, and It's somehow made it's way into all the stories I've written about my world so far. So, that completely depends on skill and control, as well as how many octaves you can play on, how fast you can play/sing/hum/whistle etc etc. So, my character above that engaged in SoulSong is extremely skilled and powerful. As he can hold more than one tune at once (I need to research about whether this is possible tbh). He controlled the girl's body and coaxed her soul back into it's shell temporarily...which is an almost godly feat, hence his inspiration from Jesus. I can use song-weaving to ascribe how mythological figures accomplished their feats. Someone who is playing an instrument has an advantage of being able to select and control music better, but singers of voice tend to be harder working and hence, more skilled. Also, there is the factor of things like coughs/hiccups/sore throats that can hinder a singer. If you were speechless while singing...you would be screwed, half-finished songs will backfire on the singer (made up that rule just then) I'm planning on that some Songs are better Woven by particular instruments, so like WindSong would be better with a lyre if you intend on creating a breeze, and better sung in voice or with harsh brass instruments. I also intend on percussion being a backing power, so clapping/stamping/drumming/clicking to a rythm will be able to add a second layer to the music and sort of boost the power of the original Song. And I'm also thinking of making EarthSong entirely percussion, so like, EarthWeavers may end up being people who walking around wearing a drumkit lmao. Achilles was proficient in GrowthWeaver and was aided by his mother who herself was an accomplished GrowthWeaver, hence his "invulnerability", Paris was proficient in DecaySong, and his singing was more powerful and complex, as decay is always harder than growth, and only a strong Weaver can master it, so when they do, the always do it well, the reason the heel was used was because Achilles never expected a wound to his heel to be well, fatal, so he focused his singing on healing the wounds which he thought were more important. But as the arrow was Woven with Decay, it's wound killed the body from the inside, and healing poisons,internal bleeding, organs, is alot harder from the inside, than the outside, and so Achilles was outsung and died. (Probably needs more work...I just made that up right now) Or like how Moses sang to the Red Sea to part in the middle, showing great power in OceanSong to split such a massive body of water. Keep these questions coming in! They are forcing me to think and in doing so, giving me more ideas -------------------------- Here's the mariner comic, just to keep it all here.

Thank you I think the tree would be good for a picture book or something. blame this strange site's stranger upload mechanics >> I can never get them to upload straight...even when rotating the image before >>

Thank you! I knew there was some stuff that needed to be fixed...I had removed alot of stuff from the original idea as they would have made the game way too complicated >> . So most of the above is cropped, and I wasn't sure whether I had balanced it right again. The reason I didn't want the lynch was because of RP lol....kind of hard to band together and lynch someone in the dark of the woods. Perhaps I'll make some kill roles, or a secret faction hmm. Ah, but everyone moves half the amount, and chances are, the shades will be yellow most of the time. And not to mention Exhaustion. Every 3 rounds they'll have to go slowly, then rest. And yeah lost....I should change that then >> Thank you again! I will update this sooner or later.

@Nashan'Elin When can we see it? @Sunbird Those are some *mad* pics!! @TwiLyghtSansSparkles Great job! I tend to write at night, under a lamp via traditional methods. Then I transcribe them the next day, it helps alot with my productivity, could it help with yours? (1000 words a night is usually the least I write thanks to this, I used to be so distracted when typing lmao) I haven't shared what I've been working on past few days, but here are some photos I took passed two days, as well as a little story sequence thing I made last night Oh and some other ramblings. Cycle The death of me I am a tree And here is the mariner comic I did a while ago (not my best work, I was tired af)

Nah. I prefer to use word first before copypastaing to google docs...I should stop that habit lol

yes that's right I was commenting on your capabilities...I totally didn't miss what you had said earlier... thanks

Dark were the woods Night has fallen in the forests of hell. The Bandits have chased the Merchants into the woods. Both are now trapped among the shades. You need to survive the night and make it to the Inn Cycles last 48 hours. Turns are 24 hours each. There are no “Day” or “Night” turns. Only night turns, and actions can be made each turn. Each cycle represents 30 minutes in the world (for RP). Should be fast paced I’m going to make it like Into the Woods, and the night lasts as long as needed. Compliments to OMEGA for creating this contest and providing us with entertainment. No Shades were harmed in the production of this game, OMEGA reserves all rights and insurance claims. Death, dismemberment and destruction are not viable claims. (Can’t sue us ganchos!). Any experiments conducted during the running of this game were conducted under safe conditions and all participants are still perfectly healthy. Shades Shades are a part of the environment and aren't played by any character. They have 3 denominations. Green When shades are classified as “Green”. They are passive and harmless. All is well. Yellow Yellow shades are engaged. When half the living players of the game make an action on the same turn, they change from “Green” to “Yellow”. Caution is advised. When in yellow state, players can only move half the distance they normally can, as they must move stealthily to avoid detection. If half of the players make an action during the turns the shades are “Yellow” once more, then the shades turn “Red”. The only way for the shades to return to “Green” state, is if NO players make a move during a turn that the shades are “Yellow” then they will revert to “Green”. Red When shades are “Red” they are active. No-one is safe, during the turn the Shades are red, two random players are killed and then the shades are “Green” next turn. Shades go into “Red” when a kill action is used and blood is drawn (There is a 50% chance that blood is drawn when kills are made, depends on the weapon however). There are ways to protect yourself from “Red” shades however, so some people may be safe (if they use the ability). Merchants Merchants are the “village” faction, the Merchants have been trapped in the forest with the Bandits and must escape the forest and make it to the Inn. Win Con : All surviving members make it to the Inn. If the first is unachievable, then the remaining Merchants must outnumber the Bandits once the sun rises. Merchants can trade items with others and create PMs that last 2 cycles. Bandits You have chased the Merchants into the forest and must now survive the woods. The Bandits are the “Eliminators”. Win Con: All surviving members make it to the Inn, and outnumber any Merchants that get there. If not the first, then the bandits must kill all members of the Merchants, and have at least one member of the Bandits must be alive by the end of the game. If not the second, then the Bandits must outnumber the Merchants once the sun rises. Bandits can make a PM with anyone that lasts for 1 turn. They get an elim doc and a kill action. They also have a loot action, which allows them to steal a random item from any player. The elim kill action has a 50% chance for bleeding, always works, and the player who submitted it moves to the location of the player killed (how far they are from the Inn) Items All players start off with at least one compass and randomised items. Compass All players start with at least one Compass, the compass allows for a move action. Should a player lose their compass, they are unable to move and are under the condition Lost . Possible ways to get a compass is to be sent one by a merchant or to loot one if you are a Bandit. Silver Blade Silver Blades are randomly given to random players at the start of the game. They can be used to ‘ward off’, “Yellow” Shades, allowing them to travel the normal amount, not the half-amount. Silver blades also come with a kill action with a 50% chance to bleed. Kills are guaranteed. (I had it more complicated before). Players cannot carry more than one Silver Blade. When using the kill action, the player moves to the location of the player being killed (how far away from the Inn they are). Silver Powder Silver Powder creates a protective circle that lasts one turn. Players cannot move during that turn but are safe from being attacked and killed by “Red” Shades. Has one use and counts as an action. Crossbow Crossbows have a kill action, and attack from a distance, so you remain the same distance away from the Inn as originally. Crossbows have a 50% chance of missing, players will be informed if you miss. 50% chance of bleeding. Draught of Stamina Resets the condition Exhausted and Dozing. Players may have more than one, and use of a draught does not count as an action. Actions Players can only make one action per turn Move action The goal is to make it to the Inn alive as a player win con. The Inn is 1000 feet from the players, and players can move 80 feet each move action, half when the shades are “Yellow” or when they are Exhausted. And not at all when they are Dozing or if they do not have a Compass. Loot action Only Bandits can use this action. Loot randomly selects one of the player’s items. It has a 50% chance of failing, and if succeeds a 50% chance of going unnoticed. Kill action Can be made by Elim kill order, Silver blade or Crossbow. Players who are killed drop all their items which are then randomly dispersed between the killer and their faction. PMs do not cost any actions but last according to what faction you are in (easy way to discover who’s what faction ) *Though I will probably change that XD Conditions Exhausted Players who are exhausted can only make move actions, and can only move half the distance. They have a 50% chance of being killed by “Red” Shades and crossbow attacks are guarunteed. After a cycle as Exhausted the player will be under the condition Dozing . Players can get exhausted by making 3 consecutive actions (three turns they made three actions). Dozing Players who are dozing cannot make any actions and cannot do anything besides consume a Draught of Stamina.They have a 50% higher chance of being killed by a “Red” Shade, and crossbow attacks on them are guaranteed. Players can be Dozing when they were either exhausted for a round or they were inactive during a cycle of the game (Did not make a game related post and 100 words of RP). Lost Players who lose their compass become Lost and each turn they either get closer to the inn or further away or stay where they are(randomly decided, amount is always 80 feet). Lost players are less likely to be attacked by “Red” shades however. Pms will tell players of any attempts to loot or kill them, successful or not for the latter, not for the former. Conditions, items, distance to the Inn. There is no lynch.

*hugs* (*knows he's late) That was me the last term....cept I got 21% because I wasn't in the best of mental health lmao. I was stressing a tonne about that, but I redid the exam and passed with full marks. Deep breaths, and keep a straight head (unlike me ) and you'll do fine ------------ Last night was eehhhhh, dad flipped again, lots of yelling and crap and I lost alot of the writing I had been doing thanks to him pulling the cord to the family computer out >>, then I went upstairs only to listen to my family as they looked through some of the photography I had done over the past couple of days (And I had been really proud of some of the photos too :/). I'm alot better now but I felt the need to update you guys on my situation *shrugs. I did some more writing and made a little sequence story thing instead of sleeping, so that helped a tonne (I'll share them soon )

6 days and 7 nights... Now we must pick who shall fight Aman the king of tl;dr on the Shard Shall he cast walls beyond sight Should we pick him as our bard Randuir the swift, quickest of blight Newly cast, yet strong a card Should he be chosen as our light Orlok the fencer, as he cries en garde! Deep of thought and care I recite Should he be chosen to be starred --------------- That's who I can think of, I would pick El but she seems to be busy around this time. (I know Rand can't play but I couldn't help adding him). Hope you liked that lil bit at the end @Elbereth

Oh my lord.... Oh yeah, ;found what that meme reminded me of. to you unbelievers who thought there was no i in team

The name's Darkness I speak faster than the armless Wrapping you in layers of words Drowning you in measures of slurs Wit before measure is man's greatest treasure Nice to meet you, it's all my pleasure.

They're called Neopronouns @Arraenae *shudders Tooolkiieeen What does the 12% ordain? Ditto Twi @Dragon314, Try to be aware of how your female roles are developing as to avoid any stereotyping . I find that...talking to your characters help...like, ask the character, how do you feel liking Metallica? etc...I'm a lonely guy XD -------- I for one have been writing alot on Songweavers I'm transcribing what I have now...it's evolved so much it's wonderful, and I'm slowly explaining how everything came into the world. I did some photography past two days and I'll share the pics soon.
