News for July 5, 2004
As you can see, I've revampt this header post quite a bit. I'm re-orienting it to be more useful day to day. New people can scroll down to learn about the game. Here's a very brief recap of the crazy drama that unfolded here earlier:
(Forgive me if I miss crucially important details- I can always fix it.) It all started with Halo CMRD engaging Xeroh's ship- which opened fire on him. DaElAlTH2 arrived on the scene and didnt help either party. Excommunicado sent help and saved Halo CMRD, and then Halo CMRD and Xeroh were transported far away in DaElAlTH2's ship. Excommunicado couldnt locate them- he needed Mooman's special device first, which the two negotiated about previously. Then Excommunicados ships were escorting Xeroh's damaged ship, when Terminus, aboard Xeroh's ship, found the Godsends were aboard. He also found there was a very dangerous demon aboard. Excommunicado and Pink Menace came to fight the demon. While this was happening, Xeroh remotely tried to decompress her ship, the demon was killing, and hordes of bots were attacking. Not to mention the fact that we all thought the only way to kill the demon was to release the Godsends. And that in itself would be terrible. Luckily, the demon was killed, and everyone was pulled out before the ship- and the Godsends were sucked into a black hole.
I know I missed a lot.

I am seriously considering putting all of this on a web page. It would be easy to edit and you could check it periodically. Sooner or later I will run out of room, and thats exactly what will happen.

AUIR'S SPECS AND CONFIRMED LISTS

* Auirs capitol is called Caesaria, nestled in the lush jungles of Auir. This is the residual meeting place of the Triumvirate and all other National governing bodies.

The known city states thus far are as follows:

* Pink Menace's Pinnacle of Auir, Pink Menace is the High Magi (?). He leads training of elite Magi Warriors.

* Excommunicado's Black Citadel, Excommunicado is High Templar of the Templari. We are a dark society, focused on our various disciplines. We believe in not justice, but the overall betterment of all civilized beings.

* Dolorous is an Emissary for the omnipotent Jjarro, keepers of balance in the universe, and all of eternity. He preserves Auir's bounds and fights for them as his guiding light, and he am not aligned with any specific government, though he am more familiar with Auir's than any others.

* lieut_pat rules over The Fortress of Thunderhammer, and it's subsequent city/state.


The confirmed High Rule is as follows:

Triumvirate:
* Consul Pink Menace
* Consul Halo CMDR
* Consul Excommunicado
Praetor: Dolorous

Other Important People:
* DaElAlTH2: He has a ship named Heart of Fear, and a big land called Swamp of Terror, and a staff from Death himself. He is also a mighty summoner, necromancer, and mage. He is currently a foe of Auir.
* Terminus: He lives on planet Bob- a planet- a haven for hailed military leaders. He is currently a friend of Auir.

The tides of war have ebbed... The second Laser War has ended with the fall of the powerful oompaloompa (who is undoubtedly to return) and the rise of a great new order.
Its many labels are all summed into one name: Auir.
* Ruling this great nation is the triumvirate- Which consists of Pink Menace, Halo CMDR, and Excommunicado.
* To protect justice and prevent corruption, Dolorous was made Praetor. Although he does not do a great deal of governing, he has great power.

* The triumvirate rules over the seperate city/states of Auir.
* There are also alliances yet to become city/states- such as Humtoria.


Dedicated followers of the Laser War saga have adapted their signature to jive with the New Age of Laser Wars. They can include different parties they belong to, their rank (so to speak), and their personal motto.

New people to this war are always welcome. We will do our best to not exclude you. Just don't walk up and say you kill something. To kill someone, you must give them fair chance, and to make it more interesting, make your battle move, and wait for theirs. And try to be at least halfway realistic. And try to stay somewhat on topic to prevent Mod interference, which was experienced during the First Laser War. The second laser war can be found here.[ /b]


So far, all is peaceful, as old alliances from the Second Laser war remain intact. War, however, is ever present, although elusive. [color=red]This peace will not last long.[/color]











This is all I can confirm thus far.
[b](NOTE: I can and will edit in changing information into this thread, to give an overview of alliances and a listing of important events and city states. Let me know if you want something changed. As always, PM ME! I will definitely see it that way and make the necessary changes.)

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

As I fly my ship over the treetops, expanding my keen Magi senses out to the horizion, trying to find a suitable location for It to be constructed. I notice a clearing up ahead. I fly my ship in and realize almost instantly this is the spot for It. Perfect quiet enviorment for Their studies and brisk outdoor air... yes this is it. "Yes" I think to myself. "It must be constructed immediatly." you think.

Halo CMDR boards his Longsword fighter, and takes off back to his base on the original planet(what is the name of the planet we're fighting on anyway?). He expects to find his base, along with his allies, unscathed, but a very sinking feeling enters him, as if that when he returned, he would see everything but peace.

agent404's mysterious shadow fleet decloaks, reduces one of oompaloompa's key Mining outposts to ashes, and steels some of their secret plans. Ships then cloak again before enemy reinforcements can arrive.

For our capitol- where should we have it? Should it be difficult to reach?
I was picturing someplace with stunning beauty and serenity, much like Rivendell.

Excommunicado halts his horse and quells its uneasiness. A smile touches his face, as he looks out at the charred remains of the ancient Mayan citadel.
The stone, now a variant of brimstone, smell of a bitter scent, the ashes of the trees fill the air with tainting soot. The sky- scorched and forever blackened due to the event which had occurred here not a year before- bled upon the abandoned ruins.

Excommunicado summoned his spectral minions to commence construction of his black citadel.


SO- Anyone want to join the nation of Auir and be put into the list on the main thread? It's more official that way, and easier to know who is against who.

It is almost done. When It is completed this great planet, Auir, will have a training facility for the greatest warriors known to man, the great Mage Warriors, the Magi.

Excommunicado- I beleive our capital should be on Auir. The lush forests, the orange skys, the mossy creeks, It's perfect.
Finally, it is done! The great Pinnacle of Auir. Spanning over 600 meters in height it is the greatest Magi training facility known to (species name? What species are we? It should be a variation of humans. A far supirior and more elegant race as well)Its magnificant artistic curves and eched patters, its great balcony's for studying natures splendor and meditating upon it and the massive halls and dorms for the students. It is truley a marvel of (species)-kind.

I agree. But the planet doesn't have to be earth- it doesn't have to be Auir(considering the name of our great nation is Auir.) I just don't think we should try to mix in any external storylines, but its up to you, fellow Consul.

Halo CMDR finally lands inside his base, on Auir, and finds his base working just as well as it did when he first established it. This was a temporary base though, for it is way too inefficiently far from Auir's capitol, Caesaria. The real base, slightly larger, would be placed just about a few thousand kilometers away from Caesaria. He is still concerned about DeIAITH2, killingspree, and oompaloompa. If they were to come back, war would be undoubtedly declared yet again.

Its always appealed to me to have several intelligent species functioning under the same banner. My particular specie is the Templar. But my Black Citadel is open to any who desire to embrace the darker arts.
I just want to be careful about trying to create a superior race- where have we heard that before? I simply think its prudent to let all different people create their own race- what they are- to form their own identities and find where they fit into all of this.
But you are right. We are all one people. Are we Auirians? Sounds not only funny, but too close to Aryans.
We could be the Iniuri... please someone help me brainstorm...

Caesaria is cool. It pays homage to the great leader.

And that was a wise strategical decision, fellow consul (Halo CMRD).

My species is Magi. Halo whats your species. These will be our 3 species. One species per leader. Makes sense to me...

We should take on vassels. They serve us in hopes to become greater. We promote them as we see fitting.

Killing isnt as simple as Bam your dead. Its a strategic fight; one army against another. Now YOU, you have no army yet. If you raise an army our nation may see you as a threat and kill you. Then your out of the game. Its all strategy. To ally you simply ask "Do you want to ally?"

Well Consul members I gotta sleep. Goodnight and Goodluck.

I am a human who used to be in the UNSC. My main weapon is a highly modifyed MA5B assault rifle, normal and flechette rounds, 8x zoom scope, with 5 times better accuracy than the original MA5B.

Ok- I'm going to be leaving for now- check over the first post and see if you want anything added and PM me. I think by using that first post edit feature, it will help us moniter all that is going on.

I got to thinking and I had a few idea's- wouldn't this whole concept translate great into a Halo 2 clan? We could be the warriors of Auir- and work this into our clan fighting.

I've been humoring the prospect of buying a web domain for several different portions, and I got to thinking about making a halo 2 clan- based off of that site. I know Flash, I just don't know how to incorporate php into it. Eventually, however, I will.
I've just got to get some more work done on the site before I purchase my domain.

A flash of brilliant light streaks across the sky above, and as you begin to wonder the cause, a voice resounds in your heads:

I shall be watching. None walk in the paths of unrighteousness without ample retribution. Beware, for my stroke falls hard, and my hand does not return void.

To the Triumvirate: I am here as only a negotiator, an ambassador on behalf of a greater power. My presence shall be known, yet I shall not govern for you. I am yours to command, so long as your aim is pure and your heart unshaded from the seeking of my eyes...
