Many readers of The Descryer might have noticed, if you check GoKridan look-ups periodically, that in the past few months, a little word and its variations have been discretely attached to the end of many GoKridans� signature: Rome, Roma, Roman. The number of such insignia has been slowly but steadily growing.
If you look up blooddrake today, you will see that he signs Roman on his look up. So does Flawblure. Quite a few other souls just recently started signing their lookups this way, also.
What is Rome? What is its goal? What makes a Roman? Is Rome connected to the recent happenings on Rainbow Catastrophe (RCE)? Read this interview and find out a little about the organization, the man behind its inception, and its future plan:
Saturday, December 3, 2005 � A Dragon Day
It�s a chilly morning outside. Blooddrake and The Descryer interviewer chatted informally over the drinks of their choices, at different ends of a network that connects them via telepathic forces.
Descryer: You have recently took over many cities and hamlets that belonged to Daithi on RCE and eventually caused the death of this respected soul. May we ask if you act as a lone assassin or did you fight for a particular organization?
Blooddrake: I fight in the name of Rome.
Descryer: And your attack on Daithi is not a personal bone-picking against him, but an organized, goal oriented action from Rome?
Blooddrake: Yes, this is a Roman attack, not a personal one.
Descryer: Who else are in Rome?
Blooddrake: Some members will not be revealed in this interview. The members of Rome are exclusive for the most part. People who do not have it in their profiles are exclusive members and will not be revealed.
Descryer: So there are not only publicly acknowledged Roman members, but members in secrecy also.
Blooddrake: Correct.
Descryer: How long has Rome been in existence?
Blooddrake: Months
Descryer: Did you organize it?
Blooddrake: Yes
Descryer: Are you the current leader?
Blooddrake: Yes
Descryer: Do you have co-leaders?
Blooddrake: His name will be kept in secrecy
Descryer: What is Rome�s goal? Is it a purely military organization?
Blooddrake: Rome doesn't have a single goal
Descryer: Why Rome?
Blooddrake: Because Rome in history was one of the great empires of this world, I plan on making that a truth here in gk.
Descryer: Do you view yourself as Caesar?
Blooddrake: No. And the hierarchy will not be explained in this interview
Descryer: And you are aware of the Fall of Rome, in history, I am sure.
People will probably remind you about the historical downfall of the Roman Empire.
Blooddrake: People can say all they want, Rome's walls stood high and strong for quite sometime, I'm sure my Rome can do the same.
Descryer: So, it is true that this current attack is part of a plan to take over RCE? Do you believe that by taking out Daithi, you are in effect taking control over RCE? Or, are there more actions planned for the near future?
Blooddrake: RCE will be conquered once I see fit. If I am still killing then I am still conquering. And yes, I am still killing.
Descryer: Do you plan on taking out Elemental Gates on RCE?
Blooddrake: The answer is "possibly."
Descryer: Are you targeting only older, more established souls, or do you intend on giving a bloodbath to all residents who are not part of your crew?
Blooddrake: I will say this, the majority of RCE's current residents will probably be leaving RCE. However, I can assure all of you, new ones will be brought in.
Descryer: What about new souls who recently came down from Heaven? How do you plan on treating them? Also, do you currently have allies
on RCE to help you with the conquering?
Blooddrake: It depends where our "new souls" spawn. The members here on RCE helping me are Romans.
Descryer: Are you afraid of Kobalos or LA's forces?
Blooddrake: No, all who come univited from those two organizations will perish almost too easily. Both are weak, and out numbered. Not just in souls, but in resources and knowledge. They will march blindly to their deaths
Descryer: Is Lildude part of Rome now. Since he seems to be supporting the killing effort on the forums
Blooddrake: No comment.
Descryer: Approximately how many usable souls (minor souls) that you can command for battle now?
Blooddrake: For me personally, more than 10 thousand. That's just me. Of course, the other members here have their own stash.
Descryer: Are there other members who can rival your number?
Blooddrake: yes
Descryer: Are you working closely with Brotherhood?
Blooddrake: No comment.
Descryer: Can you tell whether you are still part of Brotherhood or not?
Blooddrake: I am not a member of the Brotherhood. Just a Roman.
Descryer: Thanks for the clarification.
Descryer: Have the arms of Roman been reaching in all different
alliances of the universe - meaning, LA, Kobalos, or TAG?
Blooddrake: my answer to this question is "Rome is always recruiting."
Descryer: Do you want to say more about Rome?
Blooddrake: No more comments. This interview is over now.
Descryer: Thank you for your time.
Silence.
Currently Public Romans
The Descryer staff gleaned through the book of names and discovered the following GoKridans who attached either Rome or Roman in their profile sheets:
In another universe, just on the rim of our good old GK, a message was sent to a higher power by Daithi:

i messed up. i am transitioning emails and created a contract for my new email. my soul recently was corporeally liberated and now i don't have the same email as used to be in my character's info page. nor do i have access to my character's old info page to change the information so they are consistent. does this mean i have to start over with a new character?
Another Related (probably) News
GoKrida players will be pleased to know that Ouroboros, a former Lunar Alliance Leader and widely respected soul, is no longer dormant. Although The Descryer does not know what the future will bring for him, we wish him the best of luck. Seeing that some LA leadership is joining Rome, and that Ouroboros had experiences in leading troups and battles, his return might affect the future of RCE and Rome.
What will RCE be like in the near future? What do you think about Rome? Send a message to xiaomu or samildanach. We will post them in our 3rd issue.
