Book II, Chal IV - Kaliphlin Civil War (Results Posted)

[Kai NRG]

No voting threads yet?

I don't think those categories will be voted on... they weren't the last few challenges, and personally I don't think they should be voted on.

[Gideon]

I think the judging will be done by the guild leaders as in previous challenges.

[LordDan]

Heres my Category A build for the Desert King:

A Dwarf's Life

[Captain Braunsfeld]

So, it is now July 15th - and we've all put in lots of effort.

And what now?

Where is our grand finale? The final scores? The role of the dice? The judgement of the jury?

Please, let's not end this in silence! :cry_sad:

[Kai NRG]

Garmadon has the UIandian personal points almost ready for release I believe. I know, that really phases you.

But yes, we're all dying of suspense to see who might have won this! Pfft, yeah right, who am I kidding, we all know who won... Hahaha, actually, I am kind of curious to see what's up given all four categories!

Don't get your hopes too high. Last time it took several months before the results we revealed ( It ended in Early January and the results were posted in June, so about 5 months).

@Captain Braunsfeld, I'm afraid you might have to be in suspense for a while - as LordDan said, usual challenges take a few months to judge, and this time the judges have far more builds to review!

Edited September 11, 2015 by Garmadon

[Umbra-Manis]

Shouldn't all those Ulandian titles have of a Defeated Nation at the end?

[Garmadon]

Shouldn't all those Ulandian titles have of a Defeated Nation at the end?

A Ulandian never admits defeat! Most of them don't, that is.

[Captain Braunsfeld]

Don't get your hopes too high. Last time it took several months before the results we revealed ( It ended in Early January and the results were posted in June, so about 5 months).

Thanks for this information.

Unfortunately, patience is not one of my key strengths...

[MassEditor]

Well, while we wait for the results, here's something else very cool to chew on: Cat. C personal points from the Desert King team! Look at that amazing effort and collaboration! All these builds in just a few quick months... though a DK member myself, I think it's still fair to say that this was an incredible effort.

Our top three DK contributors are:

First Place - Jacob Nion with 204 points (High Guardian)

Second Place - Robuko with 146 points (Circleman)

Third Place - LordDan with 134 points (Circleman)

First, here's a small glimpse of some of the fun and awesome builds you missed if you didn't participate in the Kaliphlin Civil War; and, for those who did take part, these are a few of the builds which caused you to loathe the Desert King:

And here is the complete, unrated, uncut and re-mastered edition of the Desert King points (drum roll please):

Now, High Council members, I think I'm about done with your personal point list. If you happen to have your own list, would you PM it to me so I can double check what I have? Also, could I get someone from the HC to share my list in your group PM? I'd rather have you guys double check it before I post it publicly here.

Thanks ME!

[Captain Braunsfeld]

Thank you, MassEditor, for this massive evaluation!

I am happy with my rank of "Swordsman/Klabautermann".

One thing: I have also submitted a CAT B creation:

[Ch. IV, Cat B, DK] I was a Mounted Ostrich Archer (In the Army Now)

[Captain Braunsfeld]

Ok - now I've been patient for about three months - is there something to come to close this in a decent way?

It's been such a fine time, would be good to end it somewhat "officially".

[Umbra-Manis]

The Desert King beat Ulandus so bad, their First Centurion died from embarrassment.

And the desert King gave Samuel Marron of Mitgardia a giant Monkey Statue.

[Dr.Cogg]

I like my title "Shadow of Nocturnus"

[Captain Braunsfeld]

And the desert King gave Samuel Marron of Mitgardia a giant Monkey Statue.

Ok, I probably need to build that...

Results of the Kaliphlin Civil War (Challenge IV)

The war was fought at a blistering pace, and I expect all the hard work that went into Challenge C left many people unable to muster up entries for the other three categories, but we still had some GREAT entries. So, below are the individual winners of each category and the victorious side. After which is an epilogue.

Challenge A: Weight 20%

Champion: MKJoshA

Winning Faction: Ulandus

Challenge B: Weight 20%

Champion: MassEditor

Winning Faction: Ulandus

Challenge C: Weight 45%

Winning Faction: Desert King

Challenge D: Weight 15%

Champion: DeGothia

Winning Faction: High Council

Final Score:

1) Desert King 45%

2) Ulandus 40%

3) High Council: 15%

So what does this mean? War is messy, and rarely there is a clear cut winner. We can see the same is here. The Desert King’s forces have shown prowess on the Battle Field, the legions of Ulandus have fought valiantly, and the High Council has scrambled to keep control of what it can. Like Nocturnus, Kaliphlin still boils over. As long as there is a Desert King and a separate High Council, it is unlikely that there will be true peace.

With First Centurion still banished to another plane of existence, the Isle of Gorr remains a holdout for Ulandus supporters. There is also a underground resistance on Ulandus proper. The High Council sits in the West, and with many of Nocturnus’ warriors heading home for their second Civil War in two years, the Desert King has lost most of his grip on the Wither Woods and beyond. Rumors of negotiation between what’s left of the Ulandians and the High Council still swell, but it is a well-known fact that during the active portion of the war the two sides could never come to an agreement.

The capital has sustained heavy damage, and the Desert King has kept his seat of power at Sultan’s Gate. For now it seems his forces are willing to let things stand as they are. He does not seem interested in gaining a navy to Assault Gorr or Esterbroke, or even marching back to the Witherwoods. This could prove fatal if his enemies can lick their wounds. But perhaps the Desert King knows something that the common man does not, perhaps he is sparing his enemies so he may unite them for a greater cause? There is much more chaos in this world than just Kaliphlin. Cedrica still does not have a King, and it seems that there is only one man powerful enough to take the throne in all of historica…

Previous Epilogue:

Heralds of the Desert King has been to every town save those of Esterbroke and Gorr, where the DK's influence waned significantly after the unofficial armistice caused by the supposed death of First Centurion and the taking of Petraea. The message is clear.

"Loyal soldiers of the Pharaoh must return to Sultan's Gate and prepare for the next revealing of prophecy for the Great War. All Noble subjects of Kaliphlin who fought against the One True King shall be forgiven for their transgressions if they send a troop of warriors in time for the prophecy's revealing on December 1st. Those who do not send their good will, will be made to heel in good time."

It is suspected that the alliance between the Desert King and the united rebel forces of Nocturnus will come to fruition, as he sets his troops against the Spire in the months to come.

The present state of Kaliphlin is in flux. It takes money, men, and will to wage a war; all of which have been spent over the last year. As fall turns to winter, the last of the very few farmers return to their much destroyed fields to bring in a possible harvest, and to avoid starvation throughout the Guild. Soldiers that have survived take temporary leave, as few armies are still standing during the lull. Mercenaries have moved on, many traveling east in hopes to find new sources of coin. The only occupied cities are those of Ulandus, where the DK's main regiments still hold his hated enemy's high seat. Matters of administration are shaky at best, as the West turns to a new Council, the East has mostly pledged to the Desert King, and Gorr keeps hope that First Centurion will return to liberate his lands. On Esterbroke, Petera MacLean has completed a cleansing of Desert King influence by killing all the traitors of the island and firmly asserting Council control of the island. Refugees of the middle-lands of the guild board GEAR ships and sail to the island, thus making it impossible for the Desert King to seed the island to his Avalonian allies. One thing is clear, Kaliphlin has changed, A clear leader has not emerged, and the Desert King's grip on the guild is tenuous at best. Can he become beloved? Will the First Centurion return? Will a High Council Member elevate to sovereign to reunite and rebuild the guild?

[LordDan]

I'm slightly confused on how cat A,B and D were decided. How is the winning faction decided if not by what faction the champion belongs to?

Also I think the percentage for Ulandus should be 40% if the faction winners are right.

[MKJoshA]

Actually, both myself and MassEditor were/are on the Desert King's side. So it should look like this:

Challenge A: Weight 20%

Champion: MKJoshA

Winning Faction: DK

Link

Challenge B: Weight 20%

Champion: MassEditor

Winning Faction: DK

Link

Challenge C: Weight 45%

Winning Faction: Desert King

Challenge D: Weight 15%

Champion: DeGothia

Winning Faction: High Council

Final Score:

1) Desert King 85%

2) Ulandus 0%

3) High Council: 15%

[Kai NRG]

@Lord Dan, because it could look like this: Masseditor has one really awesome entry for the DK, but that's the only DK entry. On the other hand, Ulandus has 7 mediocre entries. None of them can beat ME one on one, but of course, all of them together outweigh the DK influence. Anything else would be very obviously unfair.

@MKJ, see my answer above.

Congrats to the Category A, B, and D winners!

No winner for Category C?!? You mean I might as well as not have built?!

However, there was more than just ME's entry for B (like mine) so Desert King had both quality and some quantity.

[Kai NRG]

Of course, and I didn't mean to say that that was the case; just an illustration of a possible scenario in which the winner would be from a different faction than the winning faction. Obviously whether that happens or not is up to the judges and in this case they evidently thought that as a group U beat the DK, but as individuals, a DK entry was best in each case.
