The Landshark Coalition/Shepherds Of Jetpack Jesus

[McHale]

As my cavie awoke today, he awoke into a world where the shadow of slavery and violence had began to blanket over the island. Thugs, under Blaze's yellow banner, were terrorizing and hunting down the unarmed and unaligned. My cavie had no time to comprehend the horror he was witnessing as he had to quickly evade the onslaught of Tyranny's swords. Currently, my cavie is under a self-imposed exile, a game where the only way the freedom loving and pacifist can win is by not playing is not a game my cavie will play.

But he will return. And with the help of all those cavies who are freedom loving and weep when brutal and cruel overlords terrorize the weak and innocent, a righteous hell shall follow him.

This is a call for those cavies, a call for us to join together and rebel against Blaze's Tyrannical regime. The freedom and peace of the island is at stake, and the Landshark Coalition is calling, will you answer?

I am not asking for you to surrender under my or anyone else's banner, it is not needed. Being unaligned is a good enough spit in the face of the tyrants.

What I am asking you to do is to support freedom and liberty by supporting the Landshark Coalition with your resources.

If you have a sword, please, do not lust for innocent blood. Stay your blade away from the throats of the unarmed and unaligned. Turn your attention to those who support the aims of the tyrants and evildoers. Repeated assaults against those Blaze and his cruel fiends by yourself and your fellow Landshark comrades should show them the error of your ways, or else have them perish to an unarmed fate, a just punishment for his ruthless attacks against the innocent.

If you do not have a sword but believe in your right to be armed, only together can we craft our weapons for defense. We need ash, hammers, and smelters. If you have any of those devices, let myself or another landshark know, so that we can find people with the other items, to work together and arm everyone. Hopefully, even once you get a sword yourself, you will continue crafting the material to make new ones, and also help other people gain wisdom. For unless everyone has access to weapons, everyone can not be free. This is the main goal of the Landshark Coalition.

If you do not have a sword and do not wish for one, that is fine. Your pacifism shows true courage and bravely in the face of Blaze and the other tyrants that wish to fight and enslave you. But you should know that the only way your freedom and safety can be ensured is through the arming of others. Please, join the Landsharks in their struggle for freedom and liberty, then use your resources to arm your comrades, so that even though you may stay unarmed, you shall still be defended.

If you are one of the thugs that have so far only used your new swordfighting skill to brutally attacked and enslave your fellow cavie, take this as a warning. Turn away from your cavie life of chaos and violence, and redeem yourself with the Landshark Coalition. Although for you, the road for liberty will be harder, for those who are under the flag of tyranny, only surrendering to the Landsharks or a baptism with your own blood can rid you of your violent past. But if you scoff at the Landshark Coalition, and continue your bloodthirsty ways, you will become an enemy of the Landsharks, and as long as there are freedom loving cavies on the island, you will be destroyed.

So to conclude, if you support freedom and liberty, join the Landsharks. Together we will craft weapons and defend ourselves, the newbs, the unarmed, and unaligned from the forces of those who wish to hunt down and enslave us.

Freedom isn't free, even if the game is.

I'm going to use this post to explain the Landshark Coalition in a simpler, less In Character way. These are the benefits of joining the LC,

- Help with making a sword, or any other items you still need made for the wisdom.
- The choice of staying free or serving under someone else
- Comrades for Defense, or more accurately Vengeance after someone attacks you, since we can't join battles at the moment.
- Mercy Kills, so if you become old, weak, or any other reason, you could have someone hold anything you have, then kill you, allowing to you be reborn with full health.

General Rules for the Landshark Coalition

- Don't attack anyone known as a Landshark
- Don't attack anyone unarmed or unaligned, cause it's a real jerk thing to do.
- If anyone in the above groups is attacked, avenge them, and then free them if they want.
- Be honest and helpful to the other players.

if the unaligned were never attacked, there would never be any people aligned :p

[McHale]

If everyone followed the Landshark Rules, you'd get people to align with you by convincing them to surrender to you, through diplomacy and trust, and not through hunting them down as they try to make a smelter.

[zaroba]

lol, I suggested surrendering to me when I hunted you down.
Its hard to 'convince somebody to surrender' if they just log off right away to avoid even getting the chance to do so.

[McHale]

I wouldn't call using spec mode to hunt me down then chase after me as I try and make a smelter a very good argument to convince me to become your follower. And anyway, I'm already a follower,

zaroba you and your band (fearnick, blaze, etc..) don't even try convicing anyone of anything. You just hunt them down all over the map using spec mode, and enslave them. There is no diplomatic talk whatsoever.

You don't fool anyone. I was enslaved while a had no weapon, no chance, no diplomacy.

You say Blaze is the rightful king? I see he's a tyrant.

From what I read, tt looks like the Landsharks will treat things in a different manner. They will stand by honor and respect, diplomacy and non-enslavement.

Choose to be completely free or to support their cause. It's your choice. No enslavement, no surrendering. No one will be forced to surrender, or to fight.

A real community.

Now that's what we need for a rightful king.

I only support blaze as he was the 2nd to go for the king stuff (the first being malk who gave up on it) and in all actuality, my interests are somewhat the opposite of his. The king gets to choose somebody to run a world next chapter and I'd like to see zoric or a different econ world run.

if you guys can provide a reason to support you (as in, something that your planning that i feel would be in my best interests), i will gladly change my allegiance and follow your ideals.

McHale, if you were to become king, who would you choose to run a world next chapter?

[morbydvisns]

me XD

[flametard]

as far as i can tell, the king chooses someone to host the alpha server.. mit is allowing this so that person can test some of the new features. So on an economy style world, there might be things that wont be tested, such as player vs player battle scripts... etc.
I can tell you that making the changes for xebec to include the new toys wont take too much time. Again, I realy dont care as long as we progress... Thats why I became Blaze's campaign manager, because its easy for people to say "i wanna be king" but its hard for someone to say "that guy shuold be king" so that's what I did to speed up this whole process... Now Blaze is winning, and you should all jump on board.

If I became king, it's be between Jemrada and you, because you two were the only world owners I remember from the last time I was here. Course Jem isn't around.

That's easy to say now, after already enslaving everyone who is AFK.

[zaroba]

True as that is, especially since it doesn't look like mit put in any new econ stuff *yet*,

A. Whats the rush to test out that stuff now vs later on
B. Mit still has his advancement world that can be used for combat
C. Having 2 combat worlds doesn't offer much variety. I think that having one econ world and one combat world would be best for the game as this allows players to choose what type of play style they want instead of being forced to play in a manner they may not like and thus wont put as much effort into nor get as much, if any, enjoyment out of.

Btw, if you look at who is leading based on followers, my 4 to his 1 would put me ahead of blaze. However, I don't see myself living past the end of the week. If not dying in combat, I will die due to lack of berry bushes.

So it all breaks down to something real simple: The Alpha Server.

Personally, my vote for such previlege is between Zaroba and Morb, due to their vast experience on the subject.
