is that you Billy?

last time i checked yes

billy_bayonet wrote:any decent invader will kill off the boss before invaind so no you wouldnt

We do nned to set up scoring for this right now It would be more fun if no one killed boss

then your on the wrong side if you want to invade

I aint killing the boss bring on the dumbmoons they always seem to expect an easy win down there. (got trapped between leeroy and an overleveled darkmoon once.)

Dan your score will suffer, due to broken invasions, you use the orb but someone else tryies to invade and your invasion is canceleld and then you dont get invaded, but you cant use the orb again till youve used a bonfire its a pain in the ***

I've come up with a solution to female uniforms.

You do not have to wear Velka helm although you may.

I have plenty of freedom with armor restrictions but do not look silly. That means no Family Mask, Havel helm, Smough helm. Basically anything that will make us look dumb. Don't know how to enforce that though. I do know Family Masks are huge no no's for messengers though. I could say they are related to the Red Hand, a sinning cov for lore reasons. Another banned set should be DW set.

Should I just write a list or something?

Gonna write some more lore for the covenant tomarrow.

Also How many members until I can organize a mass DM invasion. I love wars but doing something like the Darkstalkers do will be cool eventually.

Remember officer positions open.

Due to their honorable nature its a slippery slope anything could happen. Remember you may wear Sunlight maggot in Tomb. I know how tough it is lighting it up.

Also I'm thinking changing the rule for female toons. Velka mask doesn't fit. I'll need to think about that.

This gets you put on the Gravesworn enemies list, nice work

Sweet! Bring it on.

All Messengers competing in the ToTG war post here. I feel like I'm the only one talking about it and if thats true I'm making myself look dumb although I'll still compete.

Ok. I need some help with recruiting tips. It seems like everyone is already in a covenant and since I got here late I'm having problems. Either way this covenant is staying even if it goes 2 years with less than 5 members.

Im not sure man ,

I tried creating my own covenant a while back but never even got one member lol.

You are also welcomed to join any of the other active popular covenants , aside from being in your own.

Maybe that can also help you get some new recruits for the Messengers in due time because more new people who are allready interested in the user covenants aspect will get to know you.

Maybe. I'm gonna stick with mine though. Maybe lobby the new people.

Most of us On here are lore based players, we make Lore for our Characters and play them, maybe if you had Loads more Lore or you appealed to peoples Sense of Self youll get some, speak with Forum pirate hes a dedicated Darkmoon he may be able to help

How can I help? Not reading 14 pages to find out.

Well, that right there is the first thing you'll need - commitment.

That's actually spot on. I play my character like a psychopath as a gravelord servant who is obsessed with learning how to become stronger with pyromancy. I wish other games had these types of people who made guilds/covenants that were RP and self lore created. To make a good covenant appealing to newcomers or possibly new characters from old members, it helps extremely when you ad in a back story or a detailed idea of the goal of the group.

And you can eitha have two mindsets as the leader, Go as the All powerfull overlord i am god sorta thing or more as a mediator for the group and have a Lore based Lader, like Velka for yourself

I personally love playing the leaders of undead or something, something chaotic evil so I can basically say the most messed up things and it will be RP no matter what. I am partial to mass murder and setting things ablaze so I RP by saying things about hatred and disease and famine and all that coolio stuff.

Well i am the Darklord for the Darkstalkers user cov, so i can be as evil as i want

Also grammar and literature are amazing for helping it out too. "Thou shalt not pursueth thine destiny" rather than "you cant go forwards" or "Thine hath been bequeathed the lordvessle" not "k here ya go for yo quest bruddah"

that last one was sort of ridiculous.

These are suggestions though, I don't like to tell people how to do things very often lol.

Thats a tricky subject and I'm tired. I'll be happy to give any feedback later though.

I'm gonna have a driving test soon so if I write a piece I'm gonna get too distracted thinking about it later.

I will say it is going to be more of a radical cult type thing. We are the anti heroes. We fight for justice but we are very Hannibal Lecter about it.

Very sadistic. We need to kill to keep our life going or we slowly go hollow. We have a sense of morals however and go after the sinners first. However if there were no more sinners we would probably become the bad guys because we would still have to kill.

Also if anyone missed this here is some lore I wrote in the RP thread based on our leader Prince Amadeous, son of Velka. My Soul lvl 200 toon who is going hollow and needs the souls of sinners. Might find some insight into the covenant if you missed this.


Castle Eladsyrd, Lower anor Londo.

Prince Amadeous sits on his throne, He coughs up a mouthful of blood.
"Our lord is ill!" cried a panicked Rachel. "Get him some support quick!"
A servant quickly rushed in with the lords medicine- the shrunken ear of a prisioner. As the prince bit into the ear he remembered the man he used to be. he felt no guilt however. If someone needed to die to keep him living, might as well be one drenched in sin.

"thank you rachel" said a satisfyed Amadeous. you are always there when I need you"

"and I will be with you always my lord. You are falling ill and You need more and more souls to survive."

Amadeous remembered his mission and the events unfolding in the TotG.

He stood up as a limping dog would and uttered one word Dark...Stalkers.. and coughed more blood.

"STOP!" Rachel burst into tears "If you keep pushing yourself you will reach your limit. I will slay the Darkstalkers and take all the humanity they've stolen if that is what it takes.... I love you." Rachel sobbed uncontrollably for the rest of the night, despite his attempts to comfort her.
