Dark Anarchists vs Kuraki and the world
Seems like Skull chose his gang name well. Anarchy seems to describe it best. HA!  But seriously, sounds like there has been a decent amount of pvp behind the scenes. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. From what I have seen (and this is my limited observation) Cerius and Elric are the big guns of DA. Cerius has the raw fire power and all around powerful character. Elric is like an enraged wolverine, tough, tenacious, powerful, and cunning.
(No offence, but Skull is handicapped because he is a Mudop. He can't unleash like he once could).
On the other hand, Kuraki (formerly Teseron) fights using a combination of the two. He has a powerful character but also is tenacious and cunning.
Others were dragged into the conflict as DA used similar tactics that have been used against them in their war against their adversary and search for items lost by Cerius.
It will be interesting to see how things play out between the factions.

Re: Dark Anarchists vs Kuraki and the world
I see. So then, the battle has been taken to the forums. On all fronts, this so called war which stemed from a "truce", which I still do not recognize, has caused nothing but hilarious outbursts. I have seen casualities on both sides, losses on both sides. And despite it all, persistence still remains the ally to both DA and I suppose myself. I do not know what to say for certain, though I was flattered that once again, my actions gave rise to a possible new rule. I am glad their cries were shunted by Holodeck. I am glad that Holodeck does not recognize them as the power, but now the oppressor. The game of majormud is changed, perhaps has changed too far. PVPers like myself, Elric, even Skull, do not fit in well with this game. That is why my actions are seen as cruel and unusual, Elric will understand this as well. Outside of our gangs and allies, we are seen as monsters of the Realm. It wasn't always this way, PVP demanded respect at one time in this game. Now, the game is built upon allegiances and connections. PVP is a mere shadow of its former self, an ugly facet on the once beautiful diamond Mud was. Day by day, I feel myself slipping from the addiction this game has held me by. I enjoy PVP, perhaps too much, and it is in that bliss that I find no happiness in this game.
A message to future PVPer's:
Do not hesitate to make yourself known if it is your intention to do so. But understand that on structured BBSes like Holodeck, you will not find the comfort a PVPer once had outside of your own allies and friends. PVP will reign down upon you as equally as you reign it down upon others. Be prepared to fight wars you do not want to fight, and not all wars revolve around attacking.

Re: Dark Anarchists vs Kuraki and the world
Ok, being upfront, I just want the three days. But I'll go ahead and in spirit of what Turlin is trying to do, I'll contribute my thoughts on this topic.
It seems we are currently in a lull from the recent conflicts. Partly because most of DA's enemies are either hiding off-line or in the bank. Aziza and Cuan seem to migrate between the boatman and the Earthen Tomb (although I, personally, have no plans to attack either one of them so long as they behave).
I can only speculate why they've taken this stance of inaction. I know that two of the most recent people I've killed used to accuse me of various things in the past, such as only attacking people's scripts or only attacking when I'm wearing no limited items. They've since realized that I'm willing to do both (since I killed them at keys with all my gear). Now that they've run out of things to come back with, their new method of taunting has become a truely pathetic bit of rhetoric. It's a childish variation of "I'm gonna tell Kuraki on you."
I won't deny that Kuraki currently has a slightly higher score of kills on me than I do of him, but Kuraki has become their unwilling hero. Perhaps it's liberating for them to say "Kuraki is going to kill you for me." I'd be interested to hear what Kuraki has to say about this. Actually, I know what he has to say because I asked him. I'll try to recall, but I believe his response was "lame."
I do vaguely agree with some of Kuraki's sentiments on what PvP has become. But I think he romanticises it a little too much making what it was a sort of idyllic sport.
PvP no longer demands respect and now it seems everything has to do with politics. There is nothing wrong with this, mind you. That's just the way it is, like all things; we play follow the leader when there is no leader. This just is how the situation developed from something that was never perfect.
There will always be room in the realm for those that can't PvP because Mud is about more than PvP. If they don't respect what PvP is then it's the player-killer's responsibility to educate them.
Edit to add: I just want the three free days and I don't want the runic. Please distribute the 3 runic hidden randomly between the slums and darkwood forest in increments of 10 platinum. Thank you and have your best day ever.

Re: Dark Anarchists vs Kuraki and the world
Some times it takes as much skill to avoid PVP as it does to pvp. I'm not talking hiding in safe rooms, but at times, we all choose to engage or not in pvp.
Question avoided pvp as much as possible and only recently engaged due to the feeling that She must defend her gang.
I was once told that a Goddess should not have to dirty her hands with pvp but only say the word and let her loyal followers do the dirty work. HMMM. Interesting... what do you think?

Re: Dark Anarchists vs Kuraki and the world
Oh, PVPers used to get respect, and some still do. Hard to repect people that kill and take EVERYTHING down to the rope, torches, and copper pieces. It is normal to take a few items, sure, but I have always had a low opinion to people that take everything out of spite.
Unless you are dealing with your arch-nemisis, taking everything from the kill no reason doesn't earn you respect, just loathing.
Then again, it is understandable that one with enough cowardice would fear their enemies retalliation and help delay it by taking it all. And, certainly, not offering their victims a chance to ransom it back proves this point. 
That is just my point of view. There is usually trickle down of gear to other needy folk that somewhat mitigates it... assuming the stuff isn't stashed away in some rat's nest far far away.

Re: Dark Anarchists vs Kuraki and the world
When this war started, Skull assured all of us in DA that we would be welcome as liberators, that the battle would be short, and that the realm would be able to govern itself in just a few days. He also told us that he has definitive proof that Kuraki had plans to use Cerius's items to form some sort of super realm-wide attack spell, and that we had to act immediately, or we could lose everything.
Well, in all the haze of battle, it's become clear that it will take longer than we thought. We may have to kill a lot of people in order to save their souls. I'm not happy about that, but I'm not gonna cut and run. The fact is, Kuraki and his supporters are grooming new recruits at this very moment, sleeper cells that could destabilize the whole realm if we don't perservere. I admit I get discouraged at times, but I won't give up. All you have to remember is this: They hate our freedom.
Please give me my 3 runic, and give me Elric's too, since I am his dupe.

Re: Dark Anarchists vs Kuraki and the world
Although Turlin has asked me to check this out and comment.. I am under agreement and tend to honor my word so I won't comment at all on this subject.
I will, however, offer an explanation for the bank/earthen tomb/pier boatman thing. I gave up trying to script a while back due to many script attacks where all my gear was taken. My ganghouse has been raided so many times there's nothing left but buyable items, and I have one set of gear and like to have it for when I am live and on boss runs, assisting people, etc.
And.. the reason I haven't been playing live much lately, is that I got married and moved this last week and just haven't had the time to spend with everything going on. Once things settle down I'll try to at least be at keys to do some live activities in the evenings or on the weekends.

Re: Dark Anarchists vs Kuraki and the world
Blah, the war is on in many facets. People that don't like to pvp or have chosen not to are being required to choose sides. Many now see DA as oppressers vs the ones to liberate. Afterall, who does or did a majority of the gang house raids?
Where this war goes is up in arms, I think people are just tired of feeling as if they have no control against those that seem to be blood thirsty. Allies in some camps, foes in other camps, so much interchanged between that now people are in the quandery of who to side with or who they should be attacking. Answers are forced, sides chosen due to being forced into it.
Once a Goddess could send her loyal followers out to do her dirty work, now the Goddess has blood on her hands... A vicious cycle, that will play out as it will. Who will win? Who will lose? Who will then become the TOP gang? ONLY the GODS know.
(btw Q speak 101 is being taught by skull)
