I agree with that and it is the only one completed that truly is an epic. That and it has the biggest warSir Kohran wrote:Oooohhhh...it'll have to be the BloodVaine Epic, simply for being very well-written, and having such a large effect on the world overall.
Quite right. It was a great idea that was written when the roleplay was at a high point, with lots of members often posting and unique characters being created. What's more, it involved almost all the characters and kingdoms at the time, creating a good world-affecting effect, which meant that alll the roleplayers kneww each other almost as well as their characters. It's a time and state that I wish I could visit. Well, time-travel might be invented in my lifetime...if I'm not senile by then...TheOrk wrote:Good poll!

It has over a hundred chapters, that makes it as big as five regular epics combined.
I agree, and this is what I voted for. The beging of the epic was slow do to having to tack all the BVE-cleanup posts onto it, but once the Fellowship got out of Drullen Bell things really got rolling, and I think it got even better (if I do say so myself) when Hans and Gib entered and played their part. And the ending had to be the best ever.Formendacil wrote:I don't have perfect memories of the Lost Stars, and it dragged quite a bit, and the beginning was not perfect, but the ending...
That was an ending.
And I had a ton of fun writing those posts in the Temple.
A ton of fun.
I suppose, in many ways, the Lost Stars Chronicle signified the end of thhe classic roleplay style: Bjarn, one of the oldest and most important characters in the roleplay, retired. Nik, the founder of the roleplay, left. Reno and Shainya, now married, settled down. BloodVaine, the most powerful villain, was finally gone. The Pendants, part of the first real plot back in 2004, were destroyed. In an odd sort of a way, it was a closing plot, the last adventure in a fading era. Now a new era is upon us, and new members. May they achieve the same greatness someday.Lord_Of_The_LEGO wrote:I agree, and this is what I voted for.

The Lost Stars Chonicle is the perfect example of what should be the perfect roleplay: a good balance of characters, at least three members posting at a time, with some parts planned out, but other parts just completely going with the flow.
Thats what I was thinking. There were three big stages in the history of the RP.I suppose, in many ways, the Lost Stars Chronicle signified the end of thhe classic roleplay style: Bjarn, one of the oldest and most important characters in the roleplay, retired.

Hmm, yes, good point. Though I'd split it more into this:TheOrk wrote:Thats what I was thinking.

The Misfits era/Fell War-This was the first part where the storylines weren't as well detailed.
Rest-As either Nate or Mike said monthes back, the different storylines developed into the BVP and all the epics that came from that and before.
Now-Alot of the old chars are stagnant and many old players are gone. We have a bunch of new RPers and a whole batch of new chars and storylines we'll just have to wait and see where this goes.
Yes.. at the beggining it was a bit of fun to pass the time, without a real world, real charachters, and little members.Sir Kohran wrote:Hmm, yes, good point.

Misfits of Dametreos Era:
Little in the way of backstory was written down, and there was no background for the universe. In fact, the land itself wasn't even planned. The story was just characters adventuring in a Castle World. It was very open-ended.
Return of the Bulls/Dragonlust/Fell War Era:
The land started to form. Towns and islands developed. The first ruling characters were created. The Misfits split up, and went on to other journeys.
BloodVaine/Lost Stars Era:
Dametreos became a proper world. The factions and kingdoms became cemented and real. It was also the first time that an invading force threatened to destroy the whole world.
Present Era:
Most of the old characters have movedo n or settled down, and become legends in their own rights. The factions have eveolved more. The story continues...

Then Nathan and Brian joined, and it really began to pick up as more and more members began to join.
