ROLEPLAY

chapter 15

a full year has passed now since we last had decoded scrolls to share, for the last season we've had all but 3 decoded. based on the challenge these final 3 scrolls have been we've decided to share the ten we have done with you now, and will continue to work on the final 3. the new ten were the smallest of the scrolls we had, and they were in the worst condition. they all seam to be only one word each. it seams that those that wrote these wanted to make reading them a real difficult task for any that might be willing to try as we have. here are the newest ten scrolls we've decoded: "...a..." "...to..." "...it's..." "...the..." "...the..." "...and..." "...of..." "...the..." "...it's..." "...in..." now our effort's are almost complete on the decoding of the scrolls. soon we'll turn our full efforts to trying to learn the order they go in so we can finally show all of atys this mystery of these long forgotten, overlooked, and neglected scrolls. back to work for all of us to try to find the answers we're now all seeking.

(ooc: the link below is a story by other RP's that ties into the upper branches story, i feel that it was more then worthy of linking because of the direct way in which it tie's into this story.)

chapter 16

so much effort has went into the decoding of these last three scrolls, we have worked tirelessly on them for some time. to our frustrations nothing we had tried had offered us any hope of decoding the final three scrolls. as we have been unwilling to give up on our efforts to decode these scrolls we continued to take every effort to do our work. as the frustrations we all were feeling built up we became more and more desperate in our desire to finish these works we have dedicated ourselves to for all this time. it was becoming a belief that perhaps we lacked the skills to decode these last three scrolls.
several members of the group decided that they would go back to the scrolls we had already decoded in an attempt to try to find clues we might use to decode these final three. at first there was seemingly no help found in this method being pursued by the group. as each of the old scrolls was looked at they were compared to each of the final three, and there was only a tiny fraction of each scroll that related to the final three. as more of the previously decoded scrolls were compared to the final three there were more tiny parts that corresponded to them.
for a time there was no real hope that these tiny parts would offer any help to our effort to decode the final three. after all seventy-nine scrolls were compared to the final three scrolls none had shown anything more then a tiny part of the decoded scrolls matching a tiny portion of the final three. unwilling to give up our effort to decode the final three we in the group decided to have an open discussion about why there could be tiny fragments that matched. an idea was offered that we had all failed to consider until that very moment... perhaps the final three scrolls were the key to the order of the other seventy-nine scrolls.
while we have no idea if this might be true or not, we are going to put the theory to the test. we're going to take each of the final three scrolls and find the matching symbols on the decoded scrolls. then match the order of the decoded scrolls to the order of the symbols on the three final scrolls. it's our hope that we will find the order of the scrolls this way. we feel that if the fragments do indeed start to make sense with this method we will soon after find the correct order that all seventy-nine scrolls go in.
this work should not take much time at all to do and we intend to post another update as soon as the comparisons and matching's are done. we will offer the first of the final three scrolls results as soon as they are completed to the other seventy-nine.

chapter 17

we have successfully found twenty-seven scrolls that matched the first of the final three.  they do indeed seem to offer the correct order that the scrolls go in.  here is the completed work we have done at this time:
"...abandon these lands that we have come to settle.  the creatures in the lands we leave behind were getting far too dangerous for us to live and be safe in.  our foolish idea to limit the skills of a single homin in our home land was our undoing and one we will not repeat. ..."  
it's clear that this is only a section of the whole, and it would appear that it is preceded by at least one of the other two scrolls.  we're already hard at work putting together the next of the final three scrolls, as soon as we have that scroll put together we'll post that as promptly as we posted these results.  once more we're back to work to complete our work.



those against the lost scrolls

chapter 18

with this second of the final three scrolls we have found the order of twenty-five of the remaining fifty-two scrolls, this will leave another twenty-seven scrolls to match order of with the final scroll, but we're getting ahead of ourselves, here are the twenty-five scrolls we have put in order this time:
"... the one thing we will ensure is that all homins can pursue all skills they want. it's our hope that in these new lands we have found we will grow and learn from our mistakes. perhaps when there are enough homins in these new lands we can return to our old lands. ..."
as your reading this now the work is being done already for the final scroll. as soon as that work is complete you will again be reading our report post. soon the secrets of the scrolls will be revealed to us all, let's hope that we can understand what they tell us.

chapter 19

now here is the order of the remaining twenty-seven scrolls without delay:
"... we have traveled a long distance from the lands above. what we are seeking is freedom and safety for all to enjoy. with these new beginnings we hope we have found a land to prosper and grow. it's our hope that we can live without need of fear and worry. now that we are here we will never ..."
we intend to play with these three blocks for a short time and once we find the most logical order for them we'll post that as soon as we have it.

chapter 20

this is the following order we found most logical for the scrolls:
"we have traveled a long distance from the lands above. what we are seeking is freedom and safety for all to enjoy. with these new beginnings we hope we have found a land to prosper and grow. it's our hope that we can live without need of fear and worry. now that we are here we will never abandon these lands that we have come to settle. the creatures in the lands we leave behind were getting far too dangerous for us to live and be safe in. our foolish idea to limit the skills of a single homin in our home land was our undoing and one we will not repeat. the one thing we will ensure is that all homins can pursue all skills they want. it's our hope that in these new lands we have found we will grow and learn from our mistakes. perhaps when there are enough homins in these new lands we can return to our old lands."
this would seam to be a history of some kind.
why have the powers that be been so afraid of us learning this amazing historical text? is there something about these that they didn't want us to know? is there more of this history that they know but don't want us to know? were there more scrolls at one time that have not been found? their reactions throughout our work would suggest that any of these questions could be very true.
our group does intend to learn more in the future about what these scrolls tell us. we hope that all our work will inspire more homins to search for things like the scrolls we've already decoded. it's our hope that perhaps more scrolls will turn up, or other stories that have long be considered wild tales will be shared now in light of what we have found.
it's our plan to continue working on finding more answers in the future based on what we have now found with this work complete. as always any homins that desire to join our group and it's effort are welcome to. we want to let all homins on atys know that all are welcome in the group as long as they hold true to one single idea: that we are working for the better of all homin life on atys, and not any one single group. please leave politics, religion, or the lack of either outside, our group is about equal progress.
thank you all for the support thus far, and we hope to find your continued support in our future endeavors. those endeavors may come sooner then most would think. the group is already talking about what actions should be taken based on what we've learned. you can be assured that no matter what choices are made we'll keep you up to date atys.

final chapter of those against the scorlls

as you might now my brother talkirc i've studied a great deal about this los fragments of atys history in search for those truths behind the lies of the higher powers, and there seem to be some old rumours abour homins who got lost and never seen again. though my own research have shown no proof supporting or denying such claims. this scrolls seem to be linked to those rumours and ill be glad to help the endeavours to decipher them as the ones writing them seem to be able to live without the need of either karavans or kamis.

in hopes of freedom

at this point these two stories are now complete, but fear not my friends because the over all stories of the upper branches is only started, there's much more to come, the next chapters of the greater story will come out as each chapter of these two have, every week there will be a chapter posted. i still await any offical kind of response from the dev's about the upper branches ideas, and what or if anything will be considered. the time it's taken to post all of this story has been provided to give the dev's time to work, but with lack of contact of any sort, it's quite possible that i've wasted much time with this , both in the planing and the time to slowly trickle out the the stories a chapter at a time. i expect that still another few months are needed to tell the whole story, and what's been wrote here is but the first installment of what's a much longer and larger over-all story.

basically, don't be in a hurry to forget what you've read here, in just a few days you'll be seeing yet another part of the upper branches stories, as this is only the start (remember it's close to 20k words worth of stories, and this was but half of that)

(ooc)

100% OOC post of course, but i didn't know where to post that so sorry to pollute the thread with that :)


Frankly, I didn't have a lot of things to do, so i decided to read your story ...
A little thing about the content : even if Icus doesn't agree to what you say, as long as it's only your personal saying, well you can do it. And you already adressed the issues with your theory if "those against", even if in this case the style is really, really strange (seriously, a text written by "the government and wise homin" together ? Like it's some sort of conspiracy and they meet each other to speak about some drunken Zorai theory ?)

So, for the style now. First of all, use your caps key, please. There is literally no phrase who begins by a capital in your text. Not a single one, and it's a pain in the ass to read :X
Second, there is a lot of typos and/or mistakes in your text ... I have wrote down only some of them, because I found them funny.

First of all, in almost every chapter, you can find that :I never knew the scrolls were secretly sponsorized by the Seamstresses' Guild !

Chapter 1 :This is the first line, of the first post, and there is already a kinda-huge mistake (make should be may). Definitively not serious ...
chapter 5I wonder what does tyrtinists looks like ... Are they Followers of the Great Tyrtin ?
chapter 7Are you sure it ain't homin ?So, reason has a reason ? Wonderful !
Chapter 11Dunno, it's pretty rainy here at the moment

Anyway, finding the text bad or good is more or less subjective, so i won't go further into this. But for the love of good, please read over your text before publishing them.

Deleted due to offensive content

(( I can't figure if that "your" is an honest mistake or intentional :D ))

Well this is completely ridiculous. One of the reasons for removing my post was I was told it wasn't RP. So I expect Icus' post to be removed as well as it doesn't contain RP? No of course not. GMs start growing up, stop acting childish and get rid of your complete bias towards favoring some players.

Also Icus your post is completely riddled with grammar mistakes so stop being so completely hypocritical and if you are going to point out people's grammar mistakes in the future- at least have the sense to make sure your post doesn't have any. Idiot.

EDIT 1: Just to say the phrase "grammer nazi" is a commonly used phrase even used in the telegraph- a newspaper reaching millions. Why my post was removed I have no idea.

EDIT 2: My comment about GMs growing up and stop having bias towards some players is not attributed to this post- but instead to the treatment my friends and I have received over the last 4 years.

There is literally no phrase WHICH begins by a capital .... I have WRITTEN down only some of them ...

Quite honestly, Icus ... that/you is/are pathetic!

Nuff said ...
