Mr. Grumpy Purple Paragon himself. Imagine him with one arm off and a really traumatized look on his face if you want his post 105 look. :tongue:

Swap out the sword for a handcannon to get Gabriel.

As stated in 141, RL is kind of kicking my ass. If anyone is available to help me run Rounds in 141, it would be most appreciated.

Obligatory meme participation.

Too bad HeroForge didn't have any real hand-cannon-ish bits... which is why Matthias is holding a bomb with a confused look - "Now what did I do with that cannon?!"

I wish to punch Monk Pretzel in the face.

"Monk Pretzel- what? Well, I was hoping to speak to him as well. If you're going to rough him up, at least leave him in a somewhat conscious state."

"One must never attempt to drown sorrow with drink...sorrow is an expert swimmer."

:iamded_lol::pir_laugh2:

Is anyone taking bets on the outcome of a Nerwen-Pretzel brawl? :excited::moar::laugh:

The topic for the Wolf King's Followers is now up. Sorry for the wait!

After contemplating on it, I decided to keep the faction restricted to those with Wolfgang rep only. But you can trust that there will be more reputation for them offered in the future, at least on my quests.

Meh, I thought higher of Kulkulkan. I mean, we knew he was desperate, but to join up with criminals seems a bit out of character for him.

I suppose it would be to have 2 veterans on each side?

Again, there are no laws in Eubric, so how can anyone be deemed criminal? :tongue:

Just because there are no laws, does not mean that people are unable to realize that stealing, cheating, blackmail, assault, murder etc are morally wrong.

The way it's looking now, with Barbarella out of the picture (for now), the Wolfgang seems rather decent. Yeah, Ulric rose to power via dubious ways, but his goals are way more noble than those of the others, I feel.

Kulkulkan's struggle for equality and liberty for Orcs fits with Ulrics general ideas on society.

Besides, it's not like the "noble" Houses themselves are immaculately clean, morally.

But Ulric's Wolfgang is made up of criminals (who, sure, he claims are former criminals) and his tactics are not clean either. Nevermind all that, he can claim what he wants to do all he wants (and who would trust him, except those he coaxes with bread, gifts and promises?), but the one thing that has remained consistent with the Wolfgang from the beginning is that Ulric desires to be King of Eubric, and he wants the Houses destroyed. Sure he claims to want equality, but he's not in a position to give that to anyone if the Houses collapse. Anyways, I'm straying too close to the line of my suspension of disbelief. :blush:

The Wolfgang's constant has been Ulric's desire for change. He wants to become king so he'll have enough clout to implement his change. The Houses want a King, too, now. Only they want to become kings to keep things as they are and not change a thing. If Ulric becomes king, there will be immense chaos, no doubt about that. I'm with you on the point his promise is hard to keep, but I don't believe it's impossible. Complete equality is a utopia and can never happen for real, but I do think he can make things more equal than they are now. There have been multiple instances in history where rebellious upstarts and nobodies rose up from nothing and overthrew and replaced the established order :shrug_oh_well: .

I agree with you on some points, though :classic: . Regarding the composition of the Wolfgang, though, I doubt it's entirely made up of criminals by now. Sure, they were the nucleus and muscle of his rise, but now that his ideas have spread I believe there are also idealists who follow him. That's where I would classify Kulkulkan. Someone who really believes Ulric can better the situation of commoners and the down-trodden.

My second character would've been someone lik that as well. Unlike Eric, who followed Ulric purely for the ensuing chaos it'd bring, my second character would follow Ulric strictly for his egalitarian beliefs. And yes, that would've been rather naive of that character :tongue: .

Why don't the other factions get any ranks? No fair! :cry_sad:

But seriously though, any of those titles with 'Brutenhal' would sound pretty sweet to me.

But King Brutenhal sounds better. :devil:

If it were like that, then I'm 100% sure that Hestia is in the Sungold Alliance and Valkyre is with the Crescent Union (Being a Norn and all). Copper Wolf (I know he's fox but come on) is basically in the Wolfgang.

Agreed. That's who Avalanche will be joining if and when he gets some rep...

True. Like France, which I'm pretty sure a lot of the Ulric story is based on. Where everyone rose up, killed all the nobles, overthrew the established order, and quickly fell into chaos. :sceptic:

Criminals can be idealists too. But they're still criminals. Ulric isn't Robin Hood - and even Robin was technically a criminal.

Why don't the other factions get any ranks? No fair! :cry_sad:

Because no one that's Wolfgang can be king - they're there to make up for that fact. And because Ulric's been promising to give heroes power in his organization.

Not that is matters since he as yet has no reputation, but now I am torn between two of the alliances.

Which two?

Because in the other factions the chosen ruler would obviously decide the ranks. :wink:

Actually, that hasn't been stated in the rules at any point. Currently the only things promised to the King...are...that they're King. There's been no declaration or clarification of what in-game powers would be given them.

The only candidate so far to promise any promises* to the players is Lind, who's promised to create a cabinet of the wisest Heroes to consult with.

*Which they can definitely keep. (Also, any promises at all, but it's the first that's the most important.)
