A happy night for some

In response to a certain cleric that is not in Radiance.

Sunday June 27th 2010 Radiance is off the map. On the map ever since the 4th week of the server. 2nd week of lands actually being owned by factions. The first on the server to own over 50% of the land and income. They took Thousand Streams and Archosaur from the Wraiths and RoC across the map. Known for their dominance by the 2nd month of the server until the creation of Enrage. A long legacy that had its really bright moments in the beginning of our server. Led by less than a half dozen leaders so far so a bit of consistency overall even with all the problems they have had over such a long period of time.

Starting off in the Northwest nearby early Elysium. Gaining land consistently until the battles with RoC where there was an opponent that could actually slow Radiance down. Soon after Archosaur was conquered RoC disbanded and Enrage was formed. Many left Radiance to join Enrage tired of the server dominance. Enrage skyrocketed to power ripped from the soul of both RoC and Radiance. Starting inside the depths of Evolution but eventually taking to fight to Radiance where they took Archosaur in forty-five minutes. From that day on the server knew that Radiance was not the large unstoppable machine everyone thought it was. The kingdom of Radiance was split to pieces with Enrage stretching its arms to all the cities and select lands. This weakened state spawns the faction Caesar and then the faction Tao. The remains of Radiance were eaten up not by Enrage but Tao, Caesar and Triad. Then Enrage was a natural barrier between the rest of the world and the remaining Radiance lands to the north. At this point Enrage was on the hunt for Tao. Tao and Enrage battled for months neglecting even the existence of Radiance. Eventually Tao went from the underdog to the stronger army and was able to take lands from Enrage and eventually Thousand Streams. Tao and Radiance started to talk and had a neutrality agreement. The whole fight stayed on Enrage until they were well under a dozen lands. With Caesar changing direction and fighting Tao Caesar started detraining. Radiance was able to get a step up and defeated Caesar in several battles to create a larger northern kingdom along with the Enrage lands they acquired. With the server being over 15 months old and the game changing more and more the most senior players of the server did an eventual migration to the shattered Enrage. The focus of Enrage was to get back all they lost from Tao. But after all the battles with Enrage consistent domination Tao eventually crumbled more and more. So Tao changed directions and attacked Radiance. Radiance was almost taken off the map until Enrage saved them from obliteration. Down to three lands encompassed by Enrage. Tao seemed terminally ill and just kept hurting more and more to the point of Radiance becoming stronger than them but only Enrage knew. Enrage was in a difficult position being attacked by Tao and Radiance in the same time slot so they gave up the barrier between Tao and Radiance Thousand Wood Ridge to Radiance. Took some time before it was clear but for the first time ever Radiance was defeating Tao. Smashing them back to Windswept Grasslands. Then Enrage intervened once again and split Radiance from Tao just this time protecting Tao from being eaten by Radiance. Radiance kept the fight up against Enrage so they could go down to the southwest of the map again but it was all futile. Enrage taking land to land from Radiance until this weekend with only two lands remaining. Thousand Wood Ridge being attacked by Enrage and Haunted Path by BaXian Radiance did not want to become trapped forever on a little island on the sea of Enrage. There was no resistance to BaXian and BaXian took land for the first time in their history tonight. Not long after 15 minutes 15 seconds after the battle started Enrage took Radiance off the map at their last stand of Thousand Wood Ridge.

Now our server does not see orange on the map any longer. Personally I enjoy that for I dislike the color orange. But I know several in Radiance and Ex-Radiance that are sad about this day. The first superpower. One of the earliest on the map for the server. The faction that has been on the map for the longest consistent period of time is now without a homeland. At the time Enrage was created Radiance meant the strongest. The superpower. Only had delays to their gains but never stopped. A faction where over half strongest players were in at some point. Enrage meant the opposite. Freedom from a one faction rule. Not allowing the server TW die from one owning all. Distribution of military power across the factions. And yes I very much recognize the present map situation irony to this. But that is what happens when there is no faction rising to meet the challenge. Over four months now where Enrage was only stopped by Radiance and Tao fighting in the same time slot and the last time that happened Enrage won anyways. Here is a video and song for those that are happy on this day:

We shall see if urbanpulse will get banned for losing to BaXian or not. Perhaps Radiance will remain the 2nd strongest military and maybe back at the top. Or collapse and stay off the map from these events. I personally do not think this long legacy has ended as of yet.

RAWR! I'm a tiger

If Radiance gets back on the map and lands as RoC's pink color I demand we wipe them again.
