Resistance: A Tale of Tyranny and Freedom in Spam

Chapter 11, the final chapter of Resistance, is up and ready for reading.

Enjoy, but keep those spoilers in this thread and off of Skype, boys and girls.

If it has to be measured at all, then the person measuring clearly hasn't been around long enough.

Exactly. Those who are truly ancient homosexuals have no need to try to flaunt it or display it.

Some people have trouble with the concept.

Finding stuff from the old guild on Google

SamTheGingerNinja said
Yeah, the 'cache' fuction is what I was thinking of. However, using the 'site:roleplayerguild.com <insert whatever you're searching for here>' only seems to yield results from this site rather than the old one, even though it definitely used to give results from oldguild. Am I just bad at searching for the right key terms?

I hadn't realised stuff from oldguild was on the Wayback Machine, but that doesn't seem all that useful seeing as it doesn't have threads archived.

Yeah, I just went and tried some things as well, stuff that I recovered through these searches after the old Guild went down. Looks like Google must purge these cached sites whenever they go looking for them and see they don't exist any longer. =/

White Wall Reach Academy Interest Check maybe.

You know you have my interest. I want to bathe in the delicious hammy goodness.

Finding stuff from the old guild on Google

There's the wayback machine (archive.org), or you could try to search for cached pages on Google, which I think is what you were getting at.

The way you do that is search for 'site:roleplayerguild.com <insert whatever you're searching for here>' and then if you get any hits on your search you look to the right of the green line of text for an arrow. If that arrow is there, click it and a little box should pop up with the word Cached, click that and you'll get the cached page.

Oh, yeah, I get what you mean. It's messed up, but it totally fits.

Also, nicely done on this chapter, Jorick. Definitely a good read. ^_^

Thanks. :D

That was really good. The magic you gave me was super wicked and I loved it. I'm really looking forward to the next (final?) chapter.

Yeah, your set of magic was pretty cool, but Smiral the unstoppable fucking machine was too strong. Alas.

Also yes, 11 will indeed be the final chapter.

Dervish said
I was rooting for you, idle. :( Still, you wrecked shit.

And holymotherofbodycount. Some rather brutal deaths this time around.

Definitely the bloodiest chapter for major characters. Also the brutality, yeah, I felt like this big ole three part battle deserved some gore. It was time for the Peacemakers to stop fucking around, after all.

The deus ex machina is strong with this one. Although I imagine this has been set up for a while and I was just to obtuse to spot it.

This has absolutely been set up for a while. Since the very beginning, in fact. That prophecy Sole got concerning the Lord of Fate was something I made while writing the first chapter, always intended to be about Hank.

Hank's whole back story was that he was once exiled to the Wildlands, meaning by force, then he was somehow freed of that exile. Then he went and crossed that border again seeking glory in the form of power to defeat the Peacemakers. He lived off away from everyone else, showing that he was something of a loner. He had that whole internal monologue bit when Darog died about how he'd never really cared about anyone else before, how he'd always just been alone and whenever someone else died in a battle oh well who cares. When he got to Gold Heap, his internal monologue explicitly stated that he decided it was time to finally choose a side, and then he did so.

Rilla was simply a very convincing decoy, purposely built to make him look like the one who was supposed to wield Protector. When Walker told him he had been chosen to carry it, it meant simply that: carry it to its destined recipient, not actually wield it as his own.

Resistance: A Tale of Tyranny and Freedom in Spam

Chapter 10 is already up.

I got hyped about writing all the death fight scenes, so I got through them fairly quickly.

Also, for people who are in the Skype group, stop with the spoilers in there. Lots of people are slow readers, don't spoil shit for them. Talk about all the cool shit here in the thread, not on Skype.

Legend of Renalta 2: Reborn

Herzinth said
I'll be doing Red, Pink, Purple; Sun, Water, Plant. Follows the colour spectrum, and fits the riddle better. In the beginning there was the Sun, then water, then life (plants). Also, the Sun fits the bit about the "purist sight", and when combined with water (it's hybrid with another) forms plants.

Also the red first as "purist sight" makes sense from the color perspective, since red is one of the three basic colors humans perceive thus is the most pure color. Then as you indicated with the color spectrum thing, pink lies between red and purple and could thus be seen as a hybrid of those two.

So yeah, I agree with your assessment. I'll even leave Zin in the area to risk horrible explody death in case we're both wrong.
