The recent invasion from blooddrake and his underlings of RCE has both surprised many GoKridans and stirred up incessant discussions on many public and private forums.
From an anonymous source, we have learned that blooddrake�s ultimate goal is to killShzuru, and that he already has operatives on YM right now. With this in mind, we feel that we must bring you a special issue of The Descryer to offer updates and views submitted by a couple of our readers for every reader�s consideration.
Rome Situation and Membership Update
Since the publication of TheDescryer, Issue2, we have learned that both Scion and Gecko have renounced their ties to Rome. Scion remains a loyal member of TAG, while both Gecko and blacksparrow were expelled from the Lunar Alliance. Speedgonzals has also been removed from the TAG roster due to his membership in Rome.
This makes the public members of Rome only a handful. However, rumors and evidence point out that many others have been secretly working with blooddrake and Rome and may be currently working to assist this aggressive force. Sources have shown that GothMistress, once the stoic leader of Yellow Moon Gate Patrol, owner of Rainbow Dawn Land which is connected weir gates to both RCE and YM, is likely a Roman ally. Whether she is a secret Roman remains unclear. Whether blooddrake will use GothMistress�s world as a bridge to bring his massive troops to invade Yellow Moon is also under speculation.
Changes Can be Good
byAncalagon
The present conditions on Rainbow Catastrophe Earth have served as a sharp reminder to every soul in GoKrida that power, by its very nature, is allusive and fickle. More importantly for me, it has served as a reminder of paranoid and overly suspicious many of my fellow denizens have become, and how it will only get worse.
I would first like to go on the record by stating that at the present time I have contributed nothing to either side of this campaign, with the possible exception of my running commentary on the forums. However, for those who have not been following the debate, I am entirely in support of the Roman movement and the shift in power on RCE. While their motives and intentions for the planet are yet obscure, even to me, a friend of Blooddrake, I find it hard to disagree with debasing a planetary government with such strong ties to the Lunar Alliance.
But lest the reader mistakes my intentions as anti-LA propaganda, I will leap to my point. GoKridans have gotten into the mind set in which change is viewed as an absolute negative, oftentimes myself included. Those of the older ways and those members of the infamous GoKrida Conventions, who fight to keep each other in power, often turn a blind eye to the potential positive effects in each change.
I will take for example, the change in which I was most heavily involved, the actions on RM concerning the �evictions� of two prominent GoKrida souls. Most readers would agree that my brother and I, the aggressors, were the �wrong� party. However, there are many elements of good that have come from that conflict that would have been a great deal more difficult, perhaps impossible, if that conflict had never occurred: The formation of W.U.R.M. and the following discussions turning to blue prints for a gate ring on Rainbow Maiden were both made possible through the change in planetary dynamics.
In summation change is a natural and necessary part of GoKrida and we all, like it or not, need to learn to look beyond our bias view to see the merit in many of these changes. �Villains� like myself included.
Kobalos Urges Military Actions Against Rome
byErtai
The stated purpose of Blooddrake's "Roman Empire" is to conquer. A dictatorship planning to conquer indefinitely must either fall or directly oppose every soul that does not wish to obey the leader's whims. This is not one organization's business or another's. What will Rome strike at next? Kobalos? The Lunar Alliance? Rainbow Youth? Rainbow Maiden? Blue Twin?
Rainbow Catastrophe Earth is falling because it is divided. Anjill's army was isolated from the world and many of Seamonkey's minor souls were destroyed in an internal feud, leaving the gate wide open for Blooddrake's lackeys to break a scattered and sporadic resistance. It will be a different story when this mob faces trained and coordinated forces such as those that made the Rome of history great.
Blooddrake and his crew control many minor souls, but most of his underlings are barbarians, with no skill in tactics. Numbers beyond a certain point are not a concern; gargantuan armies can simply be outmaneuvered until they starve.
We can prove the futility of power through brute force here and now, but we must act quickly and we must act together. Kobalos will be leading an army against this usurper. I hope to see many of you fighting at our side.
What will RCE be like in the near future? What do you think about Rome? Do you have a special report or information to be posted in TheDescryer? Send a message to xiaomu or samildanach. We will post them in our next issue.
