Actually I’m a really new player. Just thought this would be a fun little thing to make.

Oh, by all means. I’m not stopping you. In fact I’d like to see you continue. You had me fooled though, since I myself am new as well. Just remember to include us in the correct chapters when you get there.
I feel like I should be offended since I’m new but eh, carry on
i feel like making this a roleplay, I used to RP in forums and stuff.

We have done RP’s on this forum, no reason why we can’t try it again
Well at least we know which roles you and I will have
So, I’ve been thinking up a plot. In the world of Duelyst, there are numerous underlying layers of other “Factions,” and clans fighting for dominance over other things.
The Culists of Serpenti and the Church of Makantor are at necks of each other, and other clans are fighting over other things such as control over areas that provide areas of sacrifice to their leaders. It’s basically territorial / dominion wars that are taking place under Rasha’s eye as he tries to gain dominance over everything.
Who knows though, maybe these clans would do much more than just dominate another, influence the entire timeline of Duelyst, perhaps?

the meddling of the time traveling vetruvians has led to their rise and fall across the timelines. with every change made their power increases to unprecedented heights, but it is soon followed by their inevitable downfall as the timeline corrects itself.

For the record, I was the one who thought up the religious wars between the Serpenti Cultists and the Church of the Makantor.
Why, yes, I am that petty.

Vetruvians are like Uncle Bens in every Spiderman movie.
Honestly, I don’t really care that you said that. You liked my posts so many times it’s hard me not to lo-, AHEM, I mean, like you. You wanna collab or something to actually make it happen?
Sure why not. My writing always comes off as a bit pretentious due to my needlessly expansive vocabulary, and I have an unfortunate tendency to use too many adjectives.
For thine may now realize that I have now found the perfect writer to be of acquaintance to me; For I do also write in a needlessly complex wording and hope that I may be of use whilst writing this great roleplay.
The forums were a place of rebirth for tired Duelysts, for once they stepped within these hallowed grounds they were no longer mere players: they were artists, storytellers, poets, bards, mathematicians, philosophers, and historians. Discussion was lively, youth and optimism celebrated, critical thinking revered (lol). It was a new golden age of innovation, and some even dared to imagine that this prosperity would rival that of the beforetimes. And from this swirling mix of creativity was born the magnum opus of the forums, the holiest of threads:
we need a fixed post for duelyst memes
[spoiler]For real guys, can we not derail the thread this time? I’d love for a creative writing project like the Battle for the Monolith to return to the forums.
Also, I have no idea what I’m doing and where this thread is going. It should be understood that we’re looking at this story with the aforementioned nostalgia goggles and glorifying certain forum goers for the comedic purposes, but maybe there should be a rule against people writing about themselves.[/spoiler]

My suggestion would be to write most of your ideas for this thread off-site and post it in very large chucks. If you want help with material ( i.e. old forum posts and long lost users) then I would also suggest you take reminiscent posts here for to use as fodder. Collaborate with whomever.

Tales of The Moderators
They say the forums have never seen true lawlessness, for the Moderators have existed since the beginning of time. This organization, comprised of ten overseers, rules the forums unopposed, towering over the everyday memer and nerfthreaders with the power of the Iron Lock. While some choose to walk amongst us, some Moderators have not been seen in years*, fading into obscurity. All we know is that they exist, and they are strong, stronger than any single necromemester could hope to face.
*not actually years
Ryvirath, known affectionately as “The Waifuseeker”, is the most famous of all the Moderators. They associate freely with the commoners, troll the meme threads and join the various Waifu Wars for sport, but they are not to be trifled with: Ryvirath’s All-Locking Eye is capable of sending necrothreads back to the grave for good, cleansing the vile curse of necromancy from the forums as quickly as it springs up.
System is a mysterious entity, only appearing to subtly edit and save images in the OFS (Official Forum Shitheap), so that it may be available to future generations of scholars. None have heard this mechanical menace speak, but as a Moderator it is undoubtedly capable of higher brain functions than the average forumgoer. It is always, always watching. Always…
Many Moderators begin their lives not as godly beings, but mere mortals. However, even they are unrivaled champions of order. Among them is Maelrawn, the Knight of Aloe Vera. Beginning life as a simple plant of the genus Noob, Maelrawn rose through the ranks of forumgoers with his expert insight and bluntness (which is ironic, because Aloe Vera is a very pointy plant). His elevation to Moderator status was a glorious awakening of his true self: he was no longer a plant, but a tub of the smoothest gel ever seen. Then he banged all the babes in the world and fell into a slumber for a million billion years.
[spoiler]Can you tell I ran out of steam towards the end? Pitch in if you guys have any ideas on cool stories about our friendly neighborhood mods 
Also, the genders are neutral because what if @system was a gamer grill the whole time and we didn’t even know. I’d be sooooooo embarrassed.[/spoiler]

I wonder what these forums were like, before the reset crashed into out community. The old forums is not a subject for polite company. Talk of the old kingdoms was usually reserved to hushed whispers in the dark alleys of meme posts or, allegedly, during the gruesome proceeding of esoteric Serpenti cults.
Perhaps, the old forums were more habitable, less lethal, and more organized. How utterly boring that would be. No, the old forums were a jungle of memes and salt. Before zg4ry, blessed with the divine power Prime Moderator Ryvirath, created “We Need a Fixed Place to Post Duelyst Memes” to banish the more… unsavory aspects of our community to, the only law that governed our memes was that of natural selection. Rogue memers stormed the forums, derailing balance threads about Songhai into Kentucky Fried Phoenix joints. Legend has it that what is now the “Monthly Card Design Contest” thread was once the Abyss knows as the “Key Request Mega Thread,” filled with the crushed dreams of a thousand dead plebeians.
Some heretical cults believe that some of these old forum users still walk amoungst us. Many have claimed that, on moonless nights, shades of the old kingdom can be seen congregating in the courtyard of Tavern Duelyst to share Orange Juice and Bread. Still others have the audacity of suspecting that the upper echelons of our society are composed of these time-lost Delystst. How dare they utter such blasphemy! How I would love to prove them right…
Whatever the case, I would like to meet one of these old Duelysts, though they would barely be of the right mind to give an interview. After their universe was shattered, they were left orphaned, forced to suffer through the Purgatory that is Reddit in order to get their dose of memes. Who knows what that would do to a Duelyst. The thought of that brings butterflies to my tummy.
Oh what a sight to behold, the destruction and recreation of the universe. It was like watching Valhalla fall. What could be more beautiful and heinous at the same time? Aveond-sama, I have done it. The re-creation of the universe went just as planned. Storm Aratha, Kinetic Coil…
