I went to Scotland Highlands to witness the appointment of two Generals but when I got there it was already over. I was about to go back home when someone shouted that a tournament was about to begin and everyone was invited to participate or watch the fight at the Arena.
Scotland Highlands
I’ve been to Scotland Highlands many times but it was my first time to watch a fight there. (more…)
Dark Century is finally open to everyone (see Opening Dark Century with a Ball) and their first tournament was a big success with fighters from all over RPG Empire coming to participate. I also came to participate in the tournament but my non-enhanced sword took a lot of time to rezzed and, what’s worst, my DCS2 meter never loaded.

The tournament was a Free For All with five rounds of fighting. The fighter who wins the most rounds will be declared the victor. The rules were simple: No Enhance Weapons, No Powers and No Healing. Healing is allowed only after a round is over. (more…)
The entire Roman Empire and neighboring regions mourn the death of one of its greatest emperor, his Imperial Majesty Enrich Decimus Augustus Caesar.
From what I gathered, the great Emperor led the great Roman Army in a massive attack of Nordhaven and in the battle that followed, a Nord blade took down the Emperor of Rome.
It was also brought to my attention that the Emperor was sick due to poisoning. Apparently, during their invasion of Egypt to rescue the Emperor’s brother, Prince Skyyy, a Nord Mercenary appeared from nowhere and caught the mighty Emperor with a poison arrow on his back. The mercenary was caught but his majesty didn’t recover quickly. He didn’t die but he suffered greatly. (more…)
A state of war exist between The Roman Empire and Nordhaven. It started when a group of Roman’s invaded Nordhaven but when they found the place to be deserted they started burning down the immediate area instead (see Burning Down Nordhaven). This act angered the Nordhaven Chief and declared hostility against The Roman Empire. He then led a series of attacks or raids against their new enemy, The Roman Empire.
I wasn’t able to witness the earlier raids by Nordhaven but I was there during the last one. It wasn’t my best day that day because lag was terrible. It was so terrible that I couldn’t attached my weapons. This forced me to re-logged my account. When you login into Second Life, you’ll have to wait a while to let your attachments and surrounding to rez ((to visually appear)) and during this rezzing period I was attacked. I wasn’t able to defend myself because I was still rezzing. I did the only thing I can do at that moment and that was to run away. Well, running did me no good because the place hasn’t fully rezzed making me unable to see where I was running. I eventually got cornered and killed. If you look at the screenshot below none of my attachments rezzed and if I wasn’t wearing pants then I would be butt naked. LOL!

Getting killed early unabled me to participate in the battle. Why? Come on! You don’t get up and fight after being killed because you are already dead. I guess that’s just me. It’s an RP sim and it’s an RP battle. Getting up and fighting after you are killed will only make it hard to judge who won. Even if there are no moderators or arbiters, RP players should learn to moderate themselves and follow basic RP rules (if their are any). Luckily, The Roman Empire sim is not very strict on RP. So, you can be both yourself and your character at the same time which can be sometimes confusing because anyone can be rude to you and then give you the RP excuse. LOL!
Both Nordhaven and The Roman Empire agreed to ban or disallow the use of DCS Enhanced Weapons during events like the WAR and Tournaments. These include weapons with impale scripts, fire scripts or any damage dealing scripts, throwing daggers and spears. To make the fights fair, only normal weapons can be used. Unfortunately, not everyone follows rules like I do. LOL! If I remembered correctly, I was impaled once. Who? I don’t know, I was busy running away! LOL!
This led me to ask some questions which kinda got a little too long which eventually irate someone. LOL! Oh well, I was just asking questions to further understand the what and why of things. I stopped talking after that because I’m afraid if I continue with my questions and expressing my observations that it would be perceived as complaining, which is not, and I might get banned from the place.
After the raid, a tournament was held but I was lagging badly to compete and besides I wasn’t that good anyway. LOL!
