No fighting in the war room!

[Kaeri]

I'm sure there are still people in-game who have no idea what faction wars is all about.

Yo.

Well, for starters, the beginning of this video summarizes what we do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXPVixhd9ME

As for the whole purpose of this war... long story short... Rekenber Corporation wants to take over the world. A lot of people are not okay with that, so the nations of Rachel, Rune Midgard, and Schwarzwald formed an alliance to stop Rekenber. That alliance is, of course, Pax Imperia.

And this war has been going on (and off) for quite some time...

It's basically guild PvP in Pront.
It's sort of lame because there's not a lot of people participating.
If there's people, they're too busy killing each other and they don't care about defending the crystal thing or the barricades.
It's just the NPCs fighting, plus they are 2 stronk.

What about naming the guild Pax Sucks?
Just kidding.

[Kaeri]

it's prontera assault and DA. and i may try to get people interested in battlegrounds too while i'm at it. and maybe other stuff! who knows!
the point of making a guild is to get more people interested because people will see this guild around and be like "what's this all about?" and people tend to like guilds that do stuff. suki, obviously you haven't been paying attention to prontera war lately because quite a few players actually participate. sure there are some that just mess around, but both factions have successfully defended numerous times, sometimes back to back. i only recall Pax doing this so far, but i may have missed something.

and my apologies, but your guild name suggestion will not be considered.

i have noticed that the number of votes and the number of people who have voted does not appear that everyone has been picking 3 options.
(34 votes / 20 people voted = 1.7 average votes per person)

it's fine if you only like 1 or 2 of the names up there, but i'm just wondering if anyone just didn't realize that it was a multiple choice poll. i just added a note after the poll question so it should be SUPER clear now if it wasn't before. I don't want to reset it at this point, so just post with additional names you would have voted for and i'll take that into consideration when i do "Round 2" of voting with just the ones people seem to like best.

ideally i'd like to have 40-50 people vote, but lol we'll see how that goes. i do want to have things decided and have a functional guild before the end of month at the absolute latest.

Hey there, just wanted to put in my 2 cents.. err rupees. I thought of  The Azure Resistance because of Pax's cause and the reason we started this with Rek. Plays more in line with the story. Thoughts?

*neutral non-RP post for story discussion/as to whether or not "resistance" would be appropriate*

As far as I'm aware in the current iteration of the war, both sides are simply retaliating to a declaration of war "sent from the other side."  Both teams think they are on the defensive and believe that the other side went hostile first, so they are both resisting the other side's advances......... tee-hee.
(Source: the NPCs with whom you sign up--the only things who really give you any "canon" info right now.  If they are wrong, they should really be corrected. ><)

Someone who's actually writing the story MIGHT NEED TO STEP IN AND SAY WHAT'S GOING ON WITH IT BECAUSE SERIOUSLY. D:< (not actually mad, lol)  I'm uncertain about how much of Yuyuko's (and previous Pax/Rek event) stuff is being preserved and how much is being retconned by new writers.  I honestly can't remember if there was a reply to that sentiment within the last year, but really want to see this sorted out and solidified via in-game content...

Spoiler for Comparing notes...:

In the most recent things I remember reading, Pax is still an alliance of the great nations [[is it just like the UN, or is it specifically to deal with Rekenber?]], and Rekenber is a reformed extension of the original Rekenber Corporation (i.e., they supposedly kicked out the evil/corrupt staff and are now simply a corporation with terrible stigma attached to them because of those previous leaders' actions).  Pax is overly paranoid that Rekenber is still trying to take over the world, and Rekenber, under its charismatic-but-mysterious new management, insists that it's neutral/not evil anymore--which may or may not be true.  I'm still waiting for "the third party" to show up, and any further details need to be written out into a new, canon backstory, imo.

One event made Pax look like the good guys (Rekenber supposedly started some mess again and Pax was policing it? I can't remember), and then a later one seemed to make Pax look bad (Pax ambassadors prematurely trying to underhandedly assassinate Rekenber higher-ups who may or may not have actually done anything).  Without more events or content that involve the two sides, I don't feel like we can really shape out their relationship and attitudes much more than this...?

I am not sure that anything outside of that (and official RO stories that reveal the drama behind the individual nations and Rekenber Corporation) still stands.  Someone correct me if I'm totally off-base, though, and I demand a canon backstory and page on the main site and more content and and and AND stuff to which we can refer for more in-depth information--yes, yes? :c

-On topic, good luck with your guild naming namingness!

Regardless of whether or not it's appropriate, resistance is futile.

Indeed, i would like to know what exactly is going on this time as well. The longer we go without an official story, the more i begin to believe the one in my head is canon, and any major differences will likely result in... disappointment, to say the least.

MEANWHILE

Why are there still only 33 votes?? I wanted 50, but can we at least get 40? Seriously! If you already voted, tell your friends to vote. Unless they aren't interested... then you should MAKE them interested, and then they can vote!

[Kaeri]

3 2 moar voters plz. :<

[jadestar]

[Kaeri]

sankyu~

just one more!!

For the record, here are the results from the first poll.

What should the Pax faction wars guild be named? (Pick Three)

Pax Imperial Army    19 (26.8%)
Guardians of Pax    15 (21.1%)
Azure Force    6 (8.5%)
Cobalt Force    1 (1.4%)
Sapphire Force    2 (2.8%)
Azure Guard    7 (9.9%)

Sapphire Squad    1 (1.4%)
Azure Unit    1 (1.4%)
Cobalt Unit    1 (1.4%)
Sapphire Unit    1 (1.4%)
Other? (Post your suggestion.)    3 (4.2%)

Total Members Voted: 41

The cut off for making it to the next round was 4 votes. Technically, "Other" didn't get enough votes for the suggestions to be included in the next poll, but i came up with something i was rather pleased with while i was making the next poll... so there is an option on the new poll that includes the 2 suggestions i approved of. If that option gets enough votes in round two i will make a 3rd poll with just those names. I don't expect the suggestions to get a lot of votes, but who knows. It's up to you guys! Thank you for understanding... and putting up with my spontaneousness.

(Yes, the acronym for Pax Imperia Elites is PIE. Just sayin.)

[Saurian]

Guardians of Pax sounds very appealing to me.
Guardians of Peace or Tutores de Pax in Latin.
So yeah, I voted for that name.

Viva La Pax Imperia! \m/

[marjan14]

"The Core/Army/Bureau" sounds better than boring old names but that just me......ignore
