The Political Thread

@Altered Tundra I cannot comprehend what is going on tbh. I do not think they will really unify ever, simply because the Un's really enjoy lording over North Korea. But talking is a starting point.

Dogs of War: Old World Mercenaries

Cyrdic's lips parted as reality shimmered and shaped before his eyes. What occurred was a hellish ritual he felt instinctively repulsed by. A ritual of chaos over the course of time immemorial. Briefly a mental recollection sparked in his mind. Something that Thraggi had mentioned on one of their adventures. Uzkul-Dhrazh-Zharr he had said on one of their drinking binges. The Chaos Dwarfs.

Cloven hoofed and horned, muttering a language archaic yet fouler than rot. He felt it a mercy that the vision faded, the corruption sending a shiver up his spine to his traditional, Imperial sensibilities. The sight of the Chosen of Chaos before him, while daunting, was far more familiar. It was something he could kill. And he was all too eager. However, wading through a sea of Skaven was not something he had expected. If he hadn't caught their stench he would have been overwhelmed. Even if they simply attacked what he knew to be Theodric the Cursed, their scrabbling claws rent at his traveling cloak and shield in order to get at the Champion.

For his part, Thaddeus Von Eikenhouser was stricken by the sheer weight of his sanity from the warp corruption that overwhelmed him. He was not a weak man, but he was not so used to fighting the unbridaled servants of Chaos like the other two. He waved his sword wildly to cut across the ratmen whom not moments ago he believed to be myth. Cyrdic tried to call to him, but he was wild eyed and unresponsive.

"Why do you disturb me?" The Champion asked, his voice echoing in their minds, perfectly discernible even above the chittering and screeches. For some strange reason, Cyrdic could tell he was speaking directly to he and Camilla. "The thread of your fates do not end with me. Slaanesh shall thirst upon you for eternity/Khorne has blood and brass in your future." The two distinct prophecies were imparted between Camilla and Cyrdic, respectively.

Cyrdic clove through Skaven left and right, splitting skulls and shattering spines with his large, runic blade. It howled with a savagery. "Where is Karl!?" Cyrdic demanded of the ruinous champion. "Tell me you thrice poxed bastard!"

The situation was quickly devolving into madness. A Skaven died every other second, and yet there were still dozens. Theodric of Tzeentch glowed with power, moving as inexorable as the ending of time. Cyrdic cut his way toward him, too enraged to know fear, as Thaddeus was cut and bitten while he waved his large sword.

"He is apart of fate, as all are." Theodric the Ruinous declared. "Izch ackna al khul Tzeentch."

The phrase was whispered across the room as if from a thousand voices chanting. As the Skaven were sheared through by one last sweep of his massive sword, a figure rose from among the bodies. Cloaked and hooded. A torque of bronze and silver glinted with witch-light. "Servants of the Horned Rat cannot gain the power that is here. It is only through submission to the Changer that one gains sight beyond sight."

The voice was altered and snake-like, but familiar. Cyrdic stopped midswing, seeing into the hood, his friend.

The Political Thread

While I appreciate the feedback, I'll say the grace period is over. Please post if you have something within topic to bring to the table.

The Political Thread

I'm not very sure about it, but... isn't thread hijacking, by the Moderation team's newest member, no less, a very bad example of what conducts the community should follow or not?

If you guys close a thread because it was causing problems, any attempts to recreate one like it get shut down, as per the rules so... why is it that you can do it and we not?

@RWBY Spectre

While I'd rather you PM me questions on that, I can answer here.

There is no reason we cannot have a discussion thread on a forum. Every forum has one. I am at a loss as to why you think I am taking liberties I shouldn't when at the top of the thread it said the mods discussed it. The mods closed the thread the first time for a lack of supervision and multiple personal attacks. With myself, and other mods now watching the thread, that will not happen again. They simply were not going to allow the same creator as the last political thread to do so again.
If it's the name you dislike, I can simply make it 'discussion thread.' I just saw both P's and thought 'why not' lol.

page 1 of the new political discussion thread and it's already looking like an amalgamation of the spam subforum

Why don’t I believe you, Poo?

@Inkarnate

I decided to give the thread a small grace period to see if actual discussions occur. If not, I'll end the thread.

However, I would like to note for everyone in the thread breaking any of the above rules is not harming the thread, but harming themselves.

@POOHEAD189 I'm disappointed you didn't call it "Poo's Poolitical Thread"

@Heat

I can always switch it up.

Also Walruses are precious and need to be protected.

The Political Thread

A Place for Discussions

So, after discussing it with other members of staff, I decided to recreate a space where the members of the guild could speak about current events, pressing issues, or discussing anything intellectual or controversial really (within reason). I'm hoping this thread is not only entertaining and stimulating, but it provides a platform where people can learn and grow, or at least broaden their understanding of certain topics. However, seeing how the last thread turned out, there will be a few ground rules that I and the other mods will monitor.

Rules

• There will be no baiting.
• There will be no personal attacks.
• There will be no drama, particularly from another platform (discord comes to mind).
• There will be no trolling.
• There will be no spam.
• Jokes are fine. Snark and sarcasm is fine. But keep them on a tight leash.
• If there is a problem from a user with any of the above, get a mod instead of engaging please.
• Keep all guild rules in mind, as well.

Dwarves!

I am working on him. Aye
