Talk:The Great War

What years did the Great War start and end? v 4 WB (Salynae's rise to power) to 27 WR (the fall of Baron). Remember, there is no year 0 for WB/WR. --Celiose 15:01, 27 July 2006 (CDT)

Somewhat incomplete, and a little bit open for people inserting their own characters and such as needed (the whole NAMAC conflict was pretty significant and was put in as part of one of Tex's IW entries). I figured I should take a stab at developing some of these things, as its the common plot property of all of us more or less.--Celiose 04:28, 13 August 2006 (CDT)

Wow, besides the portals, this is the most popular article.

Also, I would like to say that the reason much of the narrative of this is Tasnica-centric is because I had mainly thought about establishing the prior events of the Great War from the point of view of Tasnica, and I would welcome other peoples assistance in fleshing this out. In fact, one crazy crazy idea I had would be to do a Neo-type spinoff story about the Great War. --Celiose 17:26, 7 September 2006 (CDT)

I was seriously against the idea, when Tex mentioned it years ago, because I felt like it was kind of dicking newbs like me in the eye. Then I realized I could have, like, a secret force of Zone Knights that the whole unit dies before the end of the war (thus preserving continuity), and now I've got Blaenau Gwent pretty well developed, so while I'm mostly ignoring the great war there (i.e. they were effected but no major battles were fought there), I would totally be up for the idea of reengineering Manx history in a Great War spinoff. Let's open a dialogue! --JD 18:17, 7 September 2006 (CDT)

Why the eye, of all places? --Scen 18:25, 7 September 2006 (CDT)

I dunno. Maybe because it just sounds unpleasant, as opposed to being oppressive or insulting to our homosexual brethren (i.e. "dicked in the ass.") Mostly I just have no interest in being dicked to begin with, but the eye seems like a pretty unpleasant place for it to happen.

p.s. I think that maybe a great war spinoff would work better if it were "an alternate history" (like everyone is saying about Neo these days). That way everything doesn't have to be written word for word the same as it was originaly, just moved out of the faux-play format. Maybe Travis would provide an outline of major conflicts and events, and everyone would just go nuts from there. --JD 18:32, 7 September 2006 (CDT)

Well, we've also had Legends on the drawing board for a while. On the subject of a Great War spinoff: I always thought it'd be kind of neat if a spinoff story started just after the Great War, with the Grand Army losing. But anything Neo-esque in all its alternative-historical-"year"long glory would be cool. --Scen 18:50, 7 September 2006 (CDT)

I suggest a MFKAP. --JD 18:55, 7 September 2006 (CDT)

Whoa.

A "Great War" spin-off would actually be pretty cool. If there's any part of Kupopolis history that needs to be solidified, it would be the Great War. Heck, I'd even be interested in participating on some level: Rudra's Great War days have been outlined for years. They were just going to be some lame RPG I put together in RPGMaker, actually, but obviously I never decided to take that to 100%.

It wouldn't be, like, A LOT of writing from me. But it's always annoyed me that Rudra's past was written in a few flashbacks and introspective monologues that left a lot of loose ends I was always meaning to tie up. I'd probably write it out in the proposed Great War Remake just for completeness' sake.

(Says the guy who has a last post that as of this month is 3 years overdue) --Jipster 5:03, 7 September 2006 (CDT)
