War Games!

~Prince Kija's Bloodlust Rental~
~Brought to you by The Nagnang Ministry~
Many have been preoccupied with causing strife as of late. Do as you will. We are content with the Status Quo. We will defend yours, as yours defends ours; in mutual self-interest. We will exchange ideas and developments in craft and knowledge. We will engage in commerce. We will not undo the peace that has been wrought by our respective diplomats. War strikes at our wallet, impedes our progress, and diminishes an even more valued resource: our people.
However, if seething nationalism still plays at your heart strings like Locosam upon a War Axe, I have something to sooth your ugly shades of nationalism, at least for a little while.
There will be four teams: Nagnang, Wilderness, Buya, and Kugnae. Come to represent your country in a war game. Internal tensions will perhaps be set aside for an hour or two.or perhaps not.perhaps even countries will be divided. To bear the color of a country, you must live there. There may be alliances. Let them fall where they might. I will not see to their arrangements personally, but what do I care if they happen? In the end, only one nation can prevail, however. So there will be alliances, perhaps, but they will be fleeting.
Will divisions fall along clan lines? Will they fall along national lines? Will subpath's align with countries or clans? Will long standing clan-army conflicts be overcome to represent national pride? Will factions be bought off to serve another land? Or will it be chaos, a bunch of blood spilled haphazardly with a winner determined at random? I guess we will have to wait to see.
((To be clear, all of those alliances or any other will be allowed, but you will bear the dye of your country. It will be up to you to figure out how to coordinate with your allies, if you chose to betray your countrymen))
Nagnang - Black
Wilderness - White
Kugnae - Blue
Buya - Red
When: Wednesday, 12/1/2004, 11pm est
Place: Buya Arena
This could prove to be VERY interesting. Which country will prevail?
Bloodlusts cost only 1000 coins, so take a stand for your country, and prove to everyone else who is the best (or the buffest, at least, heh!)

Nagnang citizenship tribute changes
Posted
by: Vini
-- 6:09 PM EST
|
|
It seems that after the recent resets, the Nangen Ambassador who deals with who will move to Nagnang has passed front to Yoni & Honi of Koguryo and Buya.
Yoni and Honi always requested 20 gold coins tribute to make allow people to move to the cities they represent, but to try to get the numbers of Nagnang up, the Nangen Ambassador has given 75% discount to the interested neutral people.
To move to Nagnang now only costs 5 gold acorns, pretty cheap but considering that people can't start nexus being born in Nagnang, it's understandable.
Thanks to Growl for pointing this out.

Just now, the long lasting Elder of the Chongunate, Lady Masra has sadly stepped down from her position of Avatar in the path.
She'll be missed by many and hopefully will continuing giving her grace to all in community. Her sucessor is no one else but the expected Musadan SilentS.

Defender Ceremony Honours Twenty-Two
|
Honoured include esteemed elders, pathwalkers, and kindred.
The Royal Coliseum, resplendent with lustrous decorations and luminaries of the Three Kingdoms.
KUGNAE -- In a beautifully-deorated Royal Coliseum this evening, the royal court of Koguryo received a splendid array of notable citizens. The presentation area was filled with primogens and other clan representatives, subpath elders, a detail from the Koguryo Royal Army, and the Royal Ministry of Koguryo. On this night, citizens from all over the Samguk shared a moment with Prince-Regent M'hul to "revere those chosen few who have put their hearts, minds, bodies, and souls into protecting and serving this fine nation." His Highness bestowed the prestigious legend mark and blue dye upon twenty-two citizens of Koguryo who exemplify bravery, courage, and loyalty as they proudly took the pledge to defend their kingdom.
 
Elder Berig of the monks (left) and Lt. Col. Sorriso humbly accept the royal blessing.
Following introductory remarks by Dame Starrbrite, the Royal Minister of Koguryo, and the singing of the kingdom's national anthem by Sir Sailortaurus, Prince M'hul took centre stage to commence the parade of eminence by blessing Samurahi Berig, Elder of the Monks, who was honoured as "a fine elder." It was then that Elder Berig called out Karuna Sorriso, a lieutenant-colonel in the KRA and a member of the Royal Ministry, to be blessed.
HoChiMin of the Sun Moon Sect is honoured by Prince M'hul while his primogeness, Lady khaos, looks on.
Lady khaos, Primogeness of the Sun Moon Sect, noting that it was a "hard choice" to narrow down her selection, called forward Force HoChiMin and Mage SanSul to be blessed. SanSul, however, was not able to attend the ceremony, and will receive this honour at a later date.
"A fine leader in the kingdom," Elder Ilios, receives the royal blessing.
Elder Ilios of the Merchant Guild was also called forward to be blessed as "a fine leader in the kindgom" who well deserved this blessing. His Highness joked that he should charge the elder millions for this blessing. The elder called for his Head Scholar, Gypsy Notorious, a lieutenant in the KRA, to receive the royal blessing.
Primogen Mandad of Enigma stepped forward to announce the names of those who were to receive the blessing: Virtuoso Michaela, Enigma's fifth primogeness, and Spy Ecnor, the clan's bookkeeper as well as a carnage host and member of the Royal Ministry. Unfortunately, neither could be present tonight. |
|
|
|
Sammasati Aranae of the Bear Clan receives a special blessing from Prince M'hul.
Next, Primogeness Aenea presented two worthy kindred who were to receive the blessing tonight: Sir Teragg, Knight of the Order of Koguryo, who could not attend the ceremony, and Sammasati Aranae.
Thugofsmeg and Charlamayn of the chongunate proudly pledge to defend their kingdom.
Lady Masra, Elder of the Chongunate, was invited to stand beside His Highness and announce the recipients of the royal blessing. The elder's bodyguard, Chongun thugofsmeg, and Kysh'itra Charlamayn of the Enigma Clan, who was filled with "shock and honour," took the pledge to defend Koguryo.
ZeroCold receives the prince's blessing, endorsed by his primarch, while fellow recipient Durant looks on.
Primarch SSVegito, representing Primogen Vini of the Oceana Clan, called out the names of the chosen members: Tracker Durant, Head of Events, and Sulsa-Do ZeroCold, Head Hunt Host, who was recently praised for his deeds of citizenship by the Royal Ministry of Koguryo.
Filled with pride, Prince M'hul, aided by Elder Sarina, bestows his blessing upon Col. Sorcress.
Prince M'hul called forward the "longest-serving and greatest elder," Lady Sarina of the Divine Order, to name her selected recipients: Diviner Raneta of the Oceana Clan, and Prophet Sorcress, a colonel in the KRA.
Primarchess Ayiana of Destiny is honoured by the prince, while fellow recipient Tums looks on.
Ambassador PoeticManiac of the Destiny Clan, representing Primogen Gabe, called out the names of the members who were to receive the blessing: Muse Ayiana, the primarchess of the clan, and Geomancer Tums. Elder Nydori of the geomancers was filled with mixed emotions, proud to see her brother of the earth receive the honour, but pained with a heavy heart to have him leave the fold, as it is considered a breach of neutrality, which the geomancers hold dear, to pledge to defend a kingdom.
Tiger Clan General Shinjou (left) and Primarch Yiro present themselves before Prince Mhul.
Primarch Yiro of the Tiger Clan, representing his primogen, FireTiger, came forward to announce the names of those who were chosen to earn the blessing: Swift Shinjou, General of the Tiger Clan, and Mog-Ur Yiro himself.
A stunned Smoothey is honoured by Prince Mhul and Dame Starrbrite.
Finally, Dame Starrbrite, the Royal Minister of Koguryo, took centre stage to announce the members of the ministry who would be blessed: Samaruhi bread of the Bear Clan, who could not attend the ceremony, and Force Smoothey, the second primogen of Destiny Clan.
On behalf of NexusAtlas, congratulations to those who took the Pledge to Defend Koguryo tonight. |

New Archons, Updated Contact list
Posted
by: Rachel
-- 1:02 PM EST
|
|
Marama announced that there are now three new archons: Neul, Carillon, and Ahalya!
Since Marama was promoted to Archon Primogen, Neul has taken the role of Justice Archon. Carillon will now be the Revels Archon, allowing Joomi to devote more time to the Buyan Organizations.
Ahalya will pick up the long vacant role of Dreams Archon. She says that it may take a while, but she will read EVERY dream. She will then take the best dreams and forward them to Nexon for review. Dreams fowarded to Nexon will be posted on the Dreams Board and mentioned here at NexusAtlas.
There is a new rules post on the dreams board. It would be wise to read it before posting your dreams.
In addition to the new support system, game bugs can also be sent to Ahalya. There is no prefered means of bug reporting, but Ahalya may be better suited for immediate help.
Ahalya was very nice and helpful.(Thank you so much! ^.^) Neither Neul or Carillon could be contacted yet. I hope to ask them each a few questions though.
Here is a list of all archons and their positions, as listed on the guide board:
Marama ~~~ ArchonPrimogen/story contest
Charisse ~~ Tutors/Community board
Xian ~~~~~ Carnages/Fox hunts
Pueulla ~~~ Clans, Armies, Royals Nagnang/Subpaths
Euclid ~~~~ Clans, Armies, Royals Kugnae
Joomi ~~~~ Clans, Armies, Royals Buya
Neul ~~~~~ Archon of Justice
Carillon ~~~ Archon of Revels
Ahalya ~~~ Archon of Dreams/Bugs

The Justice system discussion
Posted
by: Vini
-- 11:18 AM EST
|
For the past week, there has been much discussion in the community board about illegal IRL thinks being discussed and posted on the boards of nexus.
Many people have been claiming that the justice laws need to be revised, while others say they are just fine. What was not expected was to hear that Wony would voice his opinion on the matter on the community board as well. Here is his post on community board:
Posting on Justice System
From this we can conclude that the GMs do listen to the voice of the players, they do care about it, just sometimes do not agree with it and have reasons too. If someone is able to formulate arguments good enough to change their mind, they surely will.
Right now, the justice system will continue the same and working strong, so please follow it correctly for the good of everyone.

Seven Citizens Praised at Ceremony
|
Praises sung by and for the Royal Ministry
The Royal Ministry of Koguryo receives the five citizens who had completed its quest.
KUGNAE -- In the Royal Coliseum of the Royal Palace tonight, an event was held by the Royal Ministry of Koguryo honouring and recognizing the successful completion of a quest undertaken by five citizens from the Three Kingdoms and beyond who care about their respective homelands and "believe in their ability to make a difference." Tonight's event was the second such ceremony to have been held. This quest required private introspection to find the solutions to the trials laid out by the Royal Ministry, with a focus on exploring the meaning and application of the concepts of peace and culture. Following an evaluation by the members of the ministry and an interview before Dame Starrbrite, the culmination of the quest came tonight, in a ceremony in which the fruits of their labour would be reaped.
Dame Starrbrite joyfully bestows her praise upon Warik, the first to be marked tonight, for his deeds of citizenship.
Those honoured tonight with the "Praised for Deeds of Citizenship" legend mark were Saboteur Cirran, Muse Gilley, Geomancer Tribolt, Tradesman Warik, and Sulsa-Do ZeroCold.
The Lord Master Musician of Koguryo, Sir Sailortaurus, Order of the Qin, presents a new commission in the Royal Coliseum.
Subsequent to this presentation, a new ode to the Royal Ministry was revealed by Sir Sailortaurus:
The heart of Koguryo, the nation's aid,
The gem that sparkles in the crown,
Will beat with strength, its gleam never fade,
And earn our nation great renown.
Our core is culture, and our pride is peace,
The pillars of society,
Exemplars all, virtues never cease:
Koguryo's Royal Ministry.
The pulse of life that flows through our veins,
In truth, the culture of this land,
Will echo through the years, for joy-filled love sustains
Our way; on this we take our stand.
Our hearts and voices swelling, filled with pride,
Resound in beauteous harmony,
Extend to you to follow in the stride
Of Koguryo's Royal Ministry.
In a touching moment, Dame Starrbrite expresses her adoration for the fine work exhibited by two of her councillors and bestows the mark upon them.
The presentation was concluded with recognizing the dedicated work of two members of the Royal Ministry: Samaruhi bread, and Mage Hatiki, Koguryo's Royal Ambassador.
Congratulations on behalf of NexusAtlas to the seven recipients of the Royal Ministry's legend mark. |

Fire of Passion - Event Update
Posted
by: Vini
-- 1:46 PM EST
|
After today's reset the ongoing event has finally moved forward.
Most of the Ogres are gone from the north and souths camps. Just a few ones remain to permit only those people who have done the previous part of the event to move forward on this.
For those who still need to do all this part of the event, please check the Nexus Atlas past news for details, for those who were stuck in Shrine of Fire blessing here's the walkthrough:
First remember to re-learn Ogrish, get an axe, the slave garb and the ogre permanent pass and head to the Temple.
There will be no more ogre in there, so once inside it people can get back to their normal clothing instead of the slave clothes.
The many Staves of Elements near the stairway are gone, but the directions to the shrines remain the same. Enter the first room of the Temple then follow these room directions:
Up Up Right Right Down Down Left Left
Up Left Up Up Left Left Down Left
Down Left Up Up Left Right Left Right
Up Right Down Right Right Down.
If you follow these directions of rooms correctly you should end up in the Shrine of Fire.
There there will be 6 statues and the Lord of Fire.
Click him and he'll say that the mortal appears before them as they knew he would but his passion burns too hot and needs to harness it.
Once the Lord of Fire finishes talking head out of it and go back to the Temple entrance. Now should go the inverse way:
Down Down Left Left Up Up Right Right
Down Right Down Down Right Right Up Right
Up Right Down Down Right Left Right Left
Down Left Up Left Left Up
This will lead to the Shrine of Ice which looks exactly like Fire Shrine but it's blue instead of golden.
Click on the Lord of Ice to have the passion cool down. Once the Lord finishes up talking leave the room and repeat the process to reach the Shrine of Fire again.
This process must be quick since the blessing of Ice Lord won't last too much and then will have to do all this part over again.
After meeting with the Lord of Fire for the second time he will give the Fire of Passion.
There's also a new legend mark to reward those who finish up to this part:
That's all we got for now, if anyone find out what we may do now that we got items of the 5 elements please inform any Nexus Atlas Staff members.

Vortex cast in darkness
Posted
by: Conro
-- 8:30 AM EST
|
The Vortex, an area created from the dark magics still at work deep under where ChiZao was burried alive, has strangely been robbed of all sun light.
Normally the sun would just be rising at this hour, but its rays are nowhere in sight.
Could this be part of the warning Kyushin gave about the Moon falling from the sky? ...and what of the warning of history repeating itself?
Scholars are working hard to decipher this warning from beyond the grave.
Thank you to Starma for informing me of this mysterious darkness. |
