[WEEK] Join the horde!!!

[ShadowySilence]

You may have been hearing about the conflict between individuality and uniformity going on soon on Sunday the 13th. I read many a comment from both sides and I decided I didn't have much in common with either. Thus I decided to create another competitor to take part in the upcoming event (I hope this is allowed, I am just winging this here :smallwink: ). So without further ado...

JOIN THE HORDE!!!!

In da horde ya can talk as ye want, do as ye want, pillage, plunder, an tha whole bit. We ave' no allies but ourselves (an' even dat be a rare occasion). We live fer tha fun of it and ave' no regrets.

LET ALL FALL TO DA MIGHT OF DA HORDE!!!

P.S. We really like explosions here! :smallbiggrin:

[fimzo]

Clones are boring, and my regular avatar suits this well enough, so I'll join. Could you post the signature code?

How does this differ from the rallying cry of Individuality the Resistance stands for?

And add this to the front [B][I][SIZE="5"]

Welcome to the Horde!


[COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]How does this differ from the rallying cry of Individuality the Resistance stands for?

Here we don't care about individuality all we care about is havoc, chaos, and plunder we don't care if you are an individual or part of a collective.

So actively warmongering, with a chance of devouring things at my whim? I'll consider it... but I might devour you...


How does this differ from the rallying cry of Individuality the Resistance stands for?

The Resistance is anti-devouring and despite their rallying cry of Individuality seem to support forced comformation to non-violent means unless others start it first.

You know what this thing needs now? A FIFTH ARMY!

And I'll enjoy our epic battle to the death if you do! :smallbiggrin:

I like the way you think, elaborate on this idea of a fifth army.

[Kallisti]

We approve. The more factions there are, the more confusing and entertaining this event will be.

As for the Fifth Army it was a reference to when my great-aunt's great-granddaughter's mate (she always was a strange one, fraternizing with a red dragon of all things) was killed by 13 dwarves and a fat halfling. Apparently the humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, and eagles had a bit of a squabble over the hoard.

Ahh, now I understand the reference! :smalltongue:


Just as a side note to all current and prospecting members, creating a horde based avatar is not a requirement but if you think it will add to the fun go ahead!

[Eloel]

My history database suggests it was wargs and not eagles that tried a claim on the hoard.

[Zaydos]

The wargs were fighting alongside the orcs, but some wizard brought a fifth armies of eagles. While the eagles did not want the hoard for themselves they fought in the battle as the fifth side.

The great Smaug is dead you say? He took all of our precious jewels and treasures when we were only 400 years from our hatching day! He took everything! And of all things he took our ring that made things turn invisible and plopped it in a river!Oh joyous of days!We have avoided him for so many years!

Database has been corrected. Fleshling, you may yet have a reason to live.

[Moff Chumley]

If Our calculations are correct, that'll put Us at thirty five factions by Sunday and over nine thousand by next Wednesday.

Sounds like he had quite a bit o' treasure, perhaps the Horde could make use of such a bounty could we find it! A ring of invisibility would be especially handy when spying on and sabotaging I mean visiting the other factions forums.

[Rob Roy]

The hoard appeals to this clone defective individuality gene. Of course this gene has caused problems before, making Me want to amass a large fortune at the expensive of the fallen. Tell Me, what is the Horde's dental plan?

Would that be possible? We'd need at least 2 people in each for a "group", and I doubt there are over 18000 members on the forum. *Checks site stats* ... and I doubt over 18000 members will participate.

We have no exact dental plan, but if ya happen to capture any dentists on a raid you are free to force them to give you a procedure. Plus, any gold you find (or steal) is completely yours to spend as you wish, if you want to spend it on dental hygiene you may. Otherwise for a small price one of our own wizards may be able to fix your choppers as well.

[Icewalker]

We would like to remark that we consider this to be getting most convoluted.

Furthermore, the Horde has presented itself as a threatening organization. Be warned, you are outnumbered, and the individualists and clones both will fight together if you attempt to bring violence against us.

We may not be strong yet, but I can sense the unrest building and where unrest exists the Horde thrives. Blood shall not be shed yet, we are violent but not weak of mind. When the battle does begin we will be out there enjoying every second of it! :smallamused:

Then we will need to become stronger than both of you. Do we have any dragons or war machines?

THis clone going to convert to the side of the Hoard. This organization appears to lack any form of organization or government and this appeals to this clone. All shall fall to the hoard!

If Zaydos joins we will possibly gain access to many hungry dragons, although I do not believe we have any war machines...yet! When our numbers grow we shall assemble mighty machines of destruction to rain death upon our foes (or at least mild-discomfort)!

Or we could try to find defective robots, and militarize them.

An excellent idea, the only good robot is a killer robot of the Horde! We shall begin the corruption process soon, slowly they shall succumb to the Horde's might!

[Lord_Gareth]

The Lords of Uncloaked Steel feel that such a puissant creature as a dragon is well above the rabble of this 'Horde' and would like to formally invite Zaydos to join the ranks of the elite.

Are We given to understand, then, that a fifth side--presumably also to be composed of both violent and nonviolent fashions--is emerging?

[Eloel]

I count at least nine sides.

The Lords decided to emerge to fill a then-vacant slot as the Fifth Army, yes. However, it should be noted that we are, by definition, violent; we simply choose our targets from worthy foes instead of serving a greater idealogical agenda.

[Xyk]

If I know anything about the Pluralist theory of government, more factions can only increase the amount of democracy in this community. This one is not nearly breakfast-y enough for me, though.

[fimzo]

I count at least nine sides.

How? I count violent and nonviolent clones, resisters, and robots, then the Horde and the Lords of Uncloaked Steel - eight.

[Moff Chumley]

What about the Clones who just adopted the avatars, sigs, locations, and pronoun patterns outlined in the Clone Week OP to accomplish the stated goals of Clone Week? :smalltongue:

You forgot to count the forum gods. They have the power to banish us all from Banterland where we currently reside.

Hi, welcome to FFRP. First, you guys should probably read the FFRP Central (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=166066) Thread to get to know the rules of the place.

Also, Shadowy Silence, since this is a Week themed thread, please add a [Week] tag to the title to keep it from confusing everyone.

Thanks, and good luck. :smallsmile:

Oh wait, it just tickles! :smalltongue:

[Temotei]

A massive ironclad ship comes into view, but it appears that no one is on board. A rope attached to a figurehead on the bow leads down to a longship with a single viking in it. The viking is towing the ironclad alone with bare hands by the rope.

Blood and death! Gladness is in battle, men! You shall rue the day ye attacked the Horde, flowery devils!

The lone viking tugs on the rope, sending the ironclad ship flying at the rainbow fighters as the rays of light hit his longship, destroying it. The viking disappears under water for several minutes, and then appears on shore with a swordfish in his right hand and a gleaming red axe in his left.

Saltwater is good for the blood!

The viking charges after his fallen ironclad.
