The Masters

[Slim Perfect]

Actually yes, Akira is severely in character. If not he would not have worded things the way he did. He would have come in and said, if you guys can't find enough people to fight 5 battles, your clubs gone. Not a page-long war declaration. Anyways, be it pompous or not, I was simply being abbrasive (in character) as I treat every activity here as a story that I like to develop over the course of said activity. I don't really care if you ACTUALLY mind that I was speaking pompously as my character, because the fact that you would is simply absurd. Anyways, people can come here and assist us on their own will, or we will be no more; frankly put. I still would like to do battle however.

[Victoria]

Well, it's not that I mind at all, it's just that he had just trash talked and called you guys arrogant and pompous, and then there you go, confirming it.

I would have thought you would want to prove the BOD wrong. =P

But either way. As I just said. Two weeks. Three more people.

If those three do not appear by August 4th, then this club is closed.

[Slim Perfect]

I am in the midst of coming to an agreement with Akira. We will be posting the results of said discussion in the near future. I hope to be able to end this with as little damage as possible.
P.S. Can it not be seen as an act of honor as opposed to on that is arrogant or pompous??

[Victoria]

Well, thing is, there's a difference between an act of honor and arrogance. The mannerisms of your speech was full of arrogance. Honor would have had completely different vocabulary and speaking.

[Slim Perfect]

I'd like you to give me an analyzation of my mannerisms highlighting the parts that were absolutely bursting with arrogance, and telling how it could in no way have been seen as an act of honor.

[Victoria]

My pleasure.
---------------
You won't defeat me once, never mind 5 times, fool.
Arrogance. Plain and simple.

Honor
------
I will do all I can with the best of my abilities to take you down once and for all! Be it with comrades or by myself, I will fight for victory! For Aiur! (..or something of that sort.)

[Zephyr]

A hooded figure approaches, and speaks in a soft, but serious voice.

"For the sake of The Masters, I will do what must be done. Slim, you are not alone in this fight."

[Slim Perfect]

My pleasure.
---------------
You won't defeat me once, never mind 5 times, fool.

Simply a reply to the tone used in challenging me. He talked as if I could hold no fight and I replied confidently. Alas, arrogance can be seen in small amounts here I will give you that much; despite the fact that it was completely reactionary.

Honor
------
I will do all I can with the best of my abilities to take you down once and for all! Be it with comrades or by myself, I will fight for victory! For Aiur! (..or something of that sort.)

Multiple times I said things to that effect. Check back on my posts.

[Victoria]

Yes. That's all well and good. But that was back then, and not now. =P
And okay, fair enough, but responding in the same tone is childish and should be beneath you.

But that's enough for now. I'll let the other two come in, if there are any. =P

[Darkwolf]

"Slim, to repay my debt to you for taking me as your student, I will fight for you"
A cloaked figure approaches as it removes the hood, revealing Lance's identity. "You have my blade"

"by the way, Itachi Uchiha is mine to slay..."

[Slim Perfect]

Somewhat regrettably I must admit, my allegiance to The Masters has run dry. I tried... but sadly none too many of my brothers were willing and ready to assist me in the battle against the Brotherhood. In fact, as a twist of fate, I was cordially invited to join the Brotherhood by Akira and his masters. I hate to have to personally inform you of this, but I have taken him up on his invitation and lent the BoD my sword so that they would spare the lives of those that stood so strongly against them. Nyarlathotep, Darkwolf, and Grimmjaw; your lives have been spared. I tried my best to get the massacre called off on my other former brethren but regret to inform you that the Brotherhood was not willing to bend to my plea. I saved all I could, goodbye brothers. Nyar, Darkwolf, Grimmjaw.... lay down your swords. I will be contacting you at a later date to discuss further action.

[Victoria]

Slim, where have you been? Dante is recruiting four "mercenaries" from another forum he goes to for the war against the BOD. So, he's not giving up.

The fight is still going on. So we'll see who wins.

[Slim Perfect]

I was not informed of this. I have made my choice and it will stand.

[Victoria]

Although I do have to say that it is not Masters vs BOD any longer. It's pretty much Dante vs BOD. And I didn't say anything about your decision. I was just informing you of what was going on. =P

You should read the BOD thread more often.

[Darkwolf]

well if that's the case, than I think I'll stay on The Masters' side, no matter where Slim goes. I'd hate to see this whole war go one sided...so I'm with Dante on this one... and as I have said before on messanger I have a weapon that I'm going to use to replace my character's polearm, I'll reaveal it when everything's decided and the war begins.

[Victoria]

Uhm.. newsflash, dude. Dante pretty much scrapped you. Dante + 4 dudes from another forum he goes to. I'm sorry, but you're not included in the fight anymore, so don't worry about it.

That's why I said it's not the masters fight anymore.

[Zephyr]

In my official role as Pillar of Time, I'd would like to urge 'Dante' to include me in this fight. I will not allow this fight to be taken entirely out of The Master's hands.

In fact, a couple of the other Pillars have expressed interest. Expect them here sometime soon. For why should the BOD settle for anything less than the leaders of that which they appear to hate so much? Let not outsiders risk their lives for us, when we are able to risk our own.

So that's it. I want in on this war, and I'm not taking no for an answer. I'm not a Pillar for nothing, dammit.

[Slim Perfect]

You will all be happy to know that my allegiance still stands strong with The Masters. Check out the BoD thread to get an update on my status.

I will fight ToroMor himself; headlining this epic clash.

[ToroMor]

((ooc: a bit premature I fear...))

All at once, the mingy hideout is struck by a mighty thunderclap. Powerful shockwaves of the darkest magic strike the attendants as they witness what they are initially tempted to call a raping of their very reality. With boundless brutality, a hole is torn into the fabric of space and time, forming a black, floating sphere that emanates - the most brutal metal that was ever heard on this plane of existance.

And so, through steps Toromor, the Christ of Darkness, ruler of the allmighty Brotherhood of Doom. His appearance is that of a mountain of steel, all black, with the only exception being two hellfires glowing from his helmet and cutting into the souls of all creatures foolish enough to dare and take a glance at them. Although seemingly unarmed, this monster spreads an aura of instantaneous peril.

Immediately, some desperate guards leap at the giant, trying their luck on the tip of their blades. Without taking any notice of the puny blows that recoil from his massive armor, the Dark One grabs one of the guards and easily rips off the head of his victim. A ghastly torrent of blood splatters the place as the guards are stunned in awe. But instead of indulging deeper into bloodshed, Toromor uncoils an ancient scroll, thickly covered in cobwebs.

"As it was written a long time ago, it is my chartered right - as well as your undeserved honor - to personally address you. Nontheless, I am willing to overlook the blindfold affront of your slaves."

The colossus, still holding the dead warrior in his hand like a beer bottle, takes a short break to take a gulp from the corpse's gaping cervix.

"Bah! Weak and worthless."

He throws the dripping cadaver over his shoulder.

"Now heed my words, so called Masters! There are two things I want you to comprehend.

First, this is a deathmatch. Not only will the inferior warriors be slain by their opponent, but also the losing club will be annihilated by the winner. Even if you don't have the balls to send one single warrior of your own faction to the fields of battle, the existance of your club as a whole is the pawn of victory!

And second: I peronally challenge your so called leader.
Anomaly, if by all means you have the balls to show up, you are but reserved for me. I will unplug your bowels bare handed and feed them to the dogs!"

For a moment, Toromor glances at the attendees with barely restrained wrath. Then, abruptly, he turns around and steps back through the dark portal which immediately closes behind him. All that is left of him is the dying echo of his roaring laughter.

"MUAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!!!"

[GrimmJaw]

Ah, so their are still some Master's willing to fight. So, as I see it, Slim (though if you switch sides, I'll personally take you out.) Darkwolf (Don't you dare flake out or just "quit") Nyarlathotep and I will be fighting. I will be recruiting another person to fill in the empty spot. We shall defeat The BoD. There is no doubt in that.

[Slim Perfect]

Look two posts up. I'm still giv'n 'er for The Masters.
Darkwolf owes me one, he won't be backing down.

[Akira]

I come with threats and warnings alike you weak pathetic fools,

It has truly been far too long that a worthless faction such as the Masters has been tolerated to exist next to the far superior Brotherhood. Now comes the time to wipe the stain of shit away that has so pesteringly stuck to the BoD's shoe for the past couple of months, since the day that dog of a man Anomoly passed the excrements of an attempt, to forge something that could equal the Brotherhood's greatness, through his arsehole and so miserably failed.

But just as the BoD has always been learned of, the Masters are a feeble and loosely held together heap of debilitated fledgling mongrels, not even able to keep the few members they have under control and in line. Far too fast did your so-called warriors jump on the oppurtunity to ditch the slowly sinking boat that is the Masters, to join a worthwhile organisation that shows no signs of downfall. Apparently, even your own members question the possibility of the Masters ever reviving from this easily predictable slump they fell into from day one of its frail forging.

Indeed though, you have surprised me greatly! I always thought the Masters were a cowardly pack of feeble weaklings, however, I never thought your cowardice and dishonor could reach such immense peaks. After blatantly abandoning the club as a whole to its imminent fate and weakly justifying his treachery to a supposed attempt to save the lives of those stupid enough to resist the BoD juggernaught, you welcome him back with open arms as soon as he comes cowering before you pleeing for mercy. Quite reliable, considering he did not wink for a second before backstabbing you the first time. As far as you know, the fool will switch sides soon again...in fact, I was able to bait more information out of him than some of you may find comforting.

In actuality, I would hope to create a Club of my own in the wake of The Masters, but one to be an alliance with the BoD, not an enemy.

As you can see, Slim has given hope for the Masters up a long time ago. Indeed, he has been planning behind your backs, the very incarnation of an entity to undermine the Masters. Who's to say that such plans do not still exist? And still you accept him as your own flesh and blood?! It seems you truly possess no chivalry nor honor. You are all a faceless bunch that should truly be ashamed to call yourselves warriors...but worry not, the BoD shall make sure that such kind of behavior never spreads farther than it already has.

I also wish to once more address something. Why is it that their is no accordance to rank within your faction? No standard procedure? No coordination? No holding up of the foundations which your club was so weakly formed upon? It simply cannot be that weakling members such as the ones that have answered the call of war speak for the club as a whole, especially when they possess no real official rank with which to dictate the fate of the club. You all blatantly undermine your leader, Anomaly, he who holds the reigns of the faction! No one should decide the Masters outcome but him, yet you all take it upon yourself to do so anyways. Even in the case that a leader is missing, no one has the right nor responsibility to take over the club. I guess there is truly no order which one could speak of in your club. You are chaotic bunch with no goals, no orientation, no structure. No wonder that this place was destined to failure...

I plee to you all to ready yourself for complete and utter destruction. The BoD shall show no mercy whatsoever...we shall leave all of you cowering on the ground in a crimson pool of plood as you take your last gasps of breath before the eternal cold sets in.


With future hails of conquest, the BoD gladly welcomes you to an eternal pit of damnation,

Akira, Prince of the North, Vice-Ambassador of the Bastards, Your Future Bitch-Master

[Slim Perfect]

If in fact I had switched sides and joined the brotherhood of Doom; an idea I am ashamed to have considered; and The Masters were to fall, I would have intended to create a club lead by the remaining Masters, one that was devoid of worry towards the Brotherhood due to my inclusion in your ranks. However, after having seen the amount of promise and devotion shown by those who have emerged, I have decided that I will not degrade myself to calling the brotherhood my ally, and will personally ensure that you fall. I am here to stay.

[Akira]

Bold words coming from a traitor! I am still unable to fathom how the Masters could take you up into their ranks again after you obviously abandoned them in the club's most dire time. In fact, I am most interested to hear what Anomaly would think of this. He of course hates the BoD with a passion, but even he, especially considering his leadership of the club, could not allow this kind of backstabbing to go unnoticed. Just for the record, this is what makes our two clubs so different...we have members who stay trustworthy and loyal, while your members jump onto the next attractive looking bandwagon that comes their way.

Again Slim, I sense no sincerety within your words, I am baffled to believe that the Masters actually do. Once a traitor, always a traitor.

[Slim Perfect]

I was under the impression that the club was dead. your offers included a plethora of promise for me. If The Masters die, I may as well have gone where I was wanted.

[Zephyr]

Akira,

Anomaly is away right now. I don't even know if he knows you've declared war on us. I've sent him an email, but as I don't know when he gets back...

I also wish to once more address something. Why is it that their is no accordance to rank within your faction? No standard procedure? No coordination? No holding up of the foundations which your club was so weakly formed upon? It simply cannot be that weakling members such as the ones that have answered the call of war speak for the club as a whole, especially when they possess no real official rank with which to dictate the fate of the club.

You are chaotic bunch with no goals, no orientation, no structure. No wonder that this place was destined to failure...

The standard procedure at times like this, if I recall, is that the entirety of the Circle of Nine comes crashing down on your hopes and dreams of defeating us. But with over half our number away, you can hardly expect us to be able to do that. You've certainly picked a good time to declare war on us; what with various members on holiday, in and out of hospital... that kind of thing. If you'll forgive me for being impetuous, I'd like to point out that I am, in fact, trying to organise things on our end. But I'm just the Pillar of Time. My duties are not war, but book-keeping.

I've asked the other Pillars (what few are online) if they would be willing to join this little soire. Surely you would want to go to war against the leaders of The Masters - unless you are, in fact, the dishonourable cur your choice of timing makes you out to be?

As for Slim - that'll have to be left up to Anomaly, when he gets back.

Yours,

Prophet
Pillar of Time.

[Godean]

The Pillar of Conflict at your Service

As well as the Arbitor of the Masters Military Division

I am here to fight

[Akira]

And what exactly would have us do?! Wait for a hopelessly inactive club that shows no sign of recovering from its obvious defecit to show more activity! You must truly be joking if you think we waited for your club to lose activity so that we could wage war...your shithole never had any real activity to begin with.

The standard procedure at times like this, if I recall, is that the entirety of the Circle of Nine comes crashing down on your hopes and dreams of defeating us.

Haha, there you guys go again with your cute attempts to sound threatening! Honestly, how many excuses will you guys come up with. This is what you just sounded like:

"Oh my god man, we would so kill you guys right now if we had our "super-duper secret weapon of infinite might" here, but it's missing so I guess we can't retaliate with much!"

When will you plebians realise that you're making morons of yourself in public, and that you stand no chance on earth to withstand, much less repel the onslaught that we shall unleash upon your weakling forces.

You've certainly picked a good time to declare war on us; what with various members on holiday, in and out of hospital... that kind of thing.

Wow, and I thought you'd come up with legitimate excuses for your WHOLE DAMN MISSING! One can hardly call it coincedence that the whole shit heap is missing. When will you admit that your cesspool is overdue for the garbage heap?! I mean if it wasn't the hospital or some other lame excuse, you'd tell me your dog was injured or you had the shits and couldn't get access to the computer.

If you'll forgive me for being impetuous, I'd like to point out that I am, in fact, trying to organise things on our end. But I'm just the Pillar of Time. My duties are not war, but book-keeping.

Wow, you guys must have some incredible organising skills and some even more awe-inspiring plans on reserve for different situations and occurences! I'm truly surprised that you guys are this unprepared. Indeed, I thought you guys would put up a decent fight at best, but as it looks, you guys will grant us the slaughtering of your whole faction. And there we went, thinking you guys were even remotely organised and structured. You guys really are more talk than action and results. To bad actually, I was hoping for something of an exciting fight.

And is it my fault that you're "fag"tion is unable to be organised yet flexible to adjust to differing situations. You guys dug your own hole here, this is just another reason you need to be discarded.

I've asked the other Pillars (what few are online) if they would be willing to join this little soire.

What makes me get the feeling that none of them will respond the battle call? Oh, that's right! They're worthless worms too scacred of their own shadows, much less to face the glorious Brotherhood. What a show of character, leaving all their followers to die!

Surely you would want to go to war against the leaders of The Masters - unless you are, in fact, the dishonourable cur your choice of timing makes you out to be?

Which is why we instated a two week duration for your people to get their asses up and to the battle front. If your activity rates are truly so bad that not a single member of leadership status shows his ass around here in a two week period, this club really is ripe for decemation.


Thank you for your time and await your complete annihilation,

Akira, Prince of the North, Vice-Ambassador of the Bastards, Your Future Bitch-Master

[Slim Perfect]

All-mighty ****in' Brotherhood. You talk about yourselves like you are the most incredulous beings in the Universe. I cannot wait to crush you beneath my boots. No one is cowering, no one is hiding, you'll see. You'll soon find you've bitten off more than you can chew.

I can't wait to get in on this. I feel like jumping into war right now having this fool speak in the manner he is. I hope only through battle that I prove my true allegiance; as I made a horrible decision in communicating with such scum, almost throwing my body to the scum itself.

Forgive me, brethren...

[Victoria]

Alright.. even though it's somewhat entertaining to see the bickering back and forth, I did say earlier not to start a verbal/flame war with each other, which is pretty much what you're both doing.

How about we just sit down, shut up, and wait for the two weeks to go by? They're not going to go by any faster or slower with the amount of trash talk that you start.

Save it all for the battle field. Let your emotions build and build and build, and then unleash it all in the "War".


I just want to nip this in the bud before it really does expand into a flame war of some sort. >.>;

It almost is when you think about it.
