"A great evil is sleeping"

We could see that as your roleplaying way to play the decadent and corrupt empire of ermor: too busy dealing with internal treasons and infamous curse.

Or is it the secret goal of The Unhappy One to let us think he is inoffensive?
Remember: "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist"

We must be ready to face evil!

Excellent post by Sheap on MP code of conduct. As our nations meet (and turn each other to meat) one will begin to appreciate his points...

Re: Acouchi - MA game for new players (full)
 

Death is not evil, it is part of Nature, perhaps the most powerful part. It is not offensive, any more than the wind or rain is offensive. There is no corruption, it is just the continuing cycle of the world. This is visible for all to see, there is no hidden agenda.

It is men who seek to distort the world by bending and bashing it into hard metallic shapes that violate the natural order. It is those that heat and burn things to create unnatural and corrupt items who are evil. The smoke of their forges are like a blanket, hiding their twisted ideas, dreams and ambitions. We must be ready to blow the smoke away and cleanse our world of these evils.

Alchemy is the daughter of Science.

The only ambition of Alchemy is to help humanity, to switch an imperfect, diseased, corruptible and ephemeral state towards a perfect, healthy, incorruptible and everlasting state.

The only ambition of Science is to bring knowlegde to mankind, to fight obscurantism and superstitions.

The essential element in the black art of obscurantism is not that it wants to darken individual understanding but that it wants to blacken our picture of the world, and darken our idea of existence.

Do not listen to those false prophets!

Those who pretend to godhood while they are only usurpers.
Those who pretend to defend nature while they only seek to break the natural cycle of life and death.
Those who seek to disturb the fallen men, to enslave their souls, to control their corrupted bodies and rotting flesh in order to satisfy their secret desire to rule the world.

Those ones are truly evil, we cannot let those false gods plunge mankind into obscurantism and darkness as that's the complete opposite of Science.

Hear the dryness of dust-covered scientists! How little do they understand of divine essense! The key to godhood is not ambition, but faith! The key to faith is not facts, but vision!

Knoweth thee not this?:

The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.

I am Nero! Vision, legend. Naught but superstition in the eyes of science. Will you defeat me alchemist, by proving I do not exist when lying under my divine heel?

It is the eternal and divine fire within that is the true driver of this world.

Within you all, the divine fire of passion, conflict, and contradiction burns; pushing you ever forward, always inspiring you to action. Scientist and god alike, both moved and driven by their internal fire. Fire is the most divine and basic essence. Fire will rule all.

Guys, I have to back out from my nation Caelum. Just got the call to go on a business roadshow in Africa, so would not be able to log on for 2 weeks. Best I go into admin, rather than slow the game down. Good luck to everyone else!

Nero, it seems you have lost reason.

Recently, a messenger of mine told me about the atrocities commited, in your name, in Pythium. What's happening?

Where is the enlighted ruler the books deal with?

By the way, aren't you supposed to be dead?

Oh, dear Heinrich! I am so sorry for such lies to reach your ears!

Germanicus, the former head of senate is jealous of my righteous claims and shamelessly spreads his awful rumors.

Does he not see how he hurts me? How sensitive I am?

I do trust your enlightened self to see through the smoke, to se that I wish nothing but the best for my people.

Supposed to be dead? Ah, but yes of course I am. Dead as a rock, dead as a clock. But i could not stay dead when my people suffers the corruption of unjust rulership in Pythium and unholy decay in Ermor. Could not rest when my poetry might be forgotten.

And on the subject of fire and passion: Might I be so bold as to say "Been there, done that"
