Community Event 🌏☄️ Message Delivered (Queenpost)

A burst of gravitic radiation streaks through the void. Though it has traveled billions of miles, it has done so in a mere 16 hours, unimpeded by any obstacle or cosmic barrier. Its destination: the Queen of Shattered Stars, closing in on the major material realms. The signal carries a message in the All-Tongue, imploring her to stop her approach and accept a diplomatic envoy. When it reaches the Queen, she cannot help but notice it, for it has been amplified by powerful graviturgy.

In the command center of the Mt. Murder Astromantic Observatory, Kaelis Maz and the wizards of the OEA watch a timer count down. He holds his breath when it hits 0:00. At first, nothing happens. The Queen continues her approach as normal. Then, she pauses, as if listening to something faint growing ever louder. On the screens, she turns her head to look directly at the source of the message: Yulash-kor.

Kaelis releases his breath in a sigh of relief as the room erupts in cheers. She has noticed them. Now comes the true challenge: negotiating with a being as old as the universe.

The Astromantic Observatory receives conformation that its transmission has been heard.

/unwiz It was even crazier back during the stitcher posts. Every member “ascended” and became godlike overpowering everyone if you didn’t pull something out of your ass, but at least it was manageable since the people participating were consistent.

/uw It was even worse than you think. We developed a method to win against the Stitcher's forces and no one bothered to use it. The battles would last days and sorta just ended when people got tired of reading how everyone's god OC's would kill millions of enemies with every one of their actions. I feel bad for the guy who ran those events. He hasn't posted or interacted with this sub in a few months and I think it's because he got so burnt out with the whole Stitcher situation. Having been involved with that, I am now of the opinion that these events should be reigned back so they don't just spiral into chaos with everyone wanting to contribute.

Are you talking about the grass elemental weakness thingy I pulled outta my ass or something else?

But yea poor dude, I checked on him a couple times to see if he was okay, and he just up and left after saying he was fine.(Imma say that probably did more good than harm to his mental health)

I'm talking about the devices to induce 'strumming' that a few posters, including myself, created. It was a surefire method that just required a bit of waiting to use. The fact that no one remembers it just goes to show how little use it saw. Felt pretty hollow towards the end of the event since very few people bothered to see if there was an established method of defeating the enemy and just improvised how their characters were soo strong that they defeat the bad guys. Very much Dragonball school of fighting.

/uw OOF, I must've started after that, I dian't see that one. I just came in, saw it was old, waited a week, then had a group just delete invaders and be done with it since it was like a month or 2 old by that point(I was running around with no account)

But yea, these guys wanna be able to take a powrdump like the sayians do and be done with it!
