Guns Of Icarus Online

It has come to light that we know very little about the world in which we fly. The secrets of our world is apparently locked away in Eric's Desk, while he laughs down on us from his Overseer mothership.
Therefore, we are raiding Eric's Desk.
The Plan is:
Kamoba will drop the party off on his Galleon, the party will raid Eric's desk, Kamoba will commandeer a Squid from their Skydocks, and we shall flee with the papers.
Calling for high-level roleplaying adventurers!
-
You willing to take an Anglean Marauder?
-
Yes. Anybody that can fight. Anglean Marauders are great.
I am a Yeshan officer trained in hand to hand combat. Although I don't usually work with Angleans, we shall join together for the greater good.
We'll recruit for the next few hours, and head out on the raid.
-
i'll crack open the desk
-
Ex-Merchant 'ranger' here. I can pilot if need be, provide ranged support, and sneak us in. If we're going in loud I can fight.
-
Welcome, welcome. Your help will be valuable.
-
We will need about three Hades Funhouse Mobulas to pull this off.
-
We should probably acquire 3 pyras to ram through the defense walls
-
Pyras are too weak now. Go with three triple buff moonshine Galleons with another three parked dual Minotaur Galleons pushing them from behind.
-
I'll be the sacrificial member of the team.
"Replaceable pledges allegiance."

i like the way you think, perhaps some flak fish can soften up the walls first
-
The Yeshan government supports the raid. They are providing an armada of Pyramidions, Goldfishes, and Galleons crewed by ambitious Yeshan youths.
(I told them that once we have the lore, they will be left forever in history of GOIO)
-
I've secured 3 Marauder units, 120 bloodthirsty and loot crazy jarheads
-
This has gone from a small-scale infiltration to a full-out assault. That's good.
Eric's desk is held in an evil flying fortress of doom. We will face many dangers, the least of which may be Jacob's codes.
I propose a plan:
The Armada of Yeshan youth will breakdown the north wall of the fortress, while the bloodthirsty Anglean jarheads will break down the gate to the south.
Once the defenses are broken, an intense battle will rage inside the fortress. In the cloak of the chaos, an elite group of heroes will climb to the highest room of the tallest tower to free a princess. After that, the heroes will search for the desk, Carn will crack it open, and we will rapidly retreat before the wrath of Muse gods finds us.
-
Who's the Princess?
-
Felt like a princess would be appropriate for the situation. You know, the whole "raiding a flying evil fortress with a group of heroes" thing.
We could just drop the bit about the princess. Wouldn't matter too much.
-
we could like rescue a dog
-
This plan needs to open with a Pizza delivery to distract the muse devs from the treasure trove that is Eric's Desk. There is nothing like melted cheese over bread and sauce to distract an indie dev especially when it is free.
-
Alright, we open with a pizza delivery, distracting muse. The Yeshan armada and the Anglean raiders will assault the evil flying fortress of doom, and rescue a princess. While that's happening, we'll clandestinely sneak into Muse office. Carn will pull out an axe, smash the desk. We'll gather the lore and escape on a Squid that Kamoba will commandeered.
Is there any noticeable flaws with the plan?
-
what kind of pizza? anchovies and olives? pineapple? we need convincing details
-
Can we leave behind a claymore?
-
do you mean the explosive? or the Scottish sword?
-
I think an explosive Scottish sword would be a good calling card. Or a Claymore loaded with Claymores... .*gets new idea for heavy gun*
-

I repeat, i like the way you think
-
Sadly, all our planning was for nothing. The attack was anticipated, and we failed (https://youtu.be/d3lA8zigJhQ).
edit* *changed the video*
-
ha, that junker was just a prison transport we were using as bait. The marauders are within the walls
-
Indeed, as we speak, the Yeshan Youth and the Anglean Marauders are delivering Pizza to Muse.
-
I shall lie in wait with my trusty duck tape launcher, with moustachio tape. I shall tie up the guards in an explosion of mustachioed duck tape. Then as the AoYY and MLCJHs raid the walls, we shall sneak into the evil fortress. We shall all have pre-arming timer flaks with one barrel as our weapons, and travel through the hordes of evil minions to get to the tower, in which Ceresbane's sense of humour and Gilder's hopes and dreams are trapped.
-
there are rumors of another thing trapped with them. The Blame of Shinkurex
-
And your grammar/spelling :P
-
grammar maybe, but what did i spell wrong? you do know that there is auto correct in this right?"
-
Carn is obviously a spy. Hang him by his feet from a mine and send him to the castle gate.
-
if you think im spying for the devs you have no bloody idea how bad i am at at technical stuff. Anyways the Marauders are on my payroll, along with the Anglean armada a few kilometers away
-
It's happened.
-
Clearly I'm late to the party.
-
Nahh, it hasn't started yet.
-
what has? If you are referring to the deal i made with eric to release more Anglean lore, in exchange for handing you rebels over then yes. At this moment the marauders are wiping out your "Yeshan Youths" through numbers, superior equipment, and training. Oh and they have a much better reason to fight, instead of some vain attempt at getting their names remembered, they are fighting to secure the lore of the Republic, which is sadly lacking.
-
Wait whoa dude what so you ARE a spy! GET THEM TO STAND DOWN IF YOU DON'T WANNA MEET MY HWACHAMOUTH
-
*Shoots Carn in the face*
dodge is godmodding
-
What part of "I made a deal with the devs" did you not understand? I cannot be killed, i no longer fear the hwachamouth
-
*Pulls off Carn's head.*
Well then.
*Puts it back.*
-
that tickled
(man this is going deep down the rabbit hole)
-
*Messages Jacob to request lore.*
-
*Shoots Carn with the tartarus, which melts a hole to the centre of the earth, which then seals.*
*Blows up the entire Anglean fleet from 2000m*
-
Pah tickles slightly more, and those ships are equipped with Tartarus's too
a massive barrage of Tartarus fire hits the group
-
*Rolls eyes and opens mouth to reveal a Hwacha of Tartarus cannons.*
-
Deal with the devs. Kill me afterwards fine, but until the lore for Anglea is released, I am immortal
-
Do we just hug it out? Kirbies are nice to hug.
-
Cheap Guild knockoffs. *brushes aside the smoking confetti.*
-
Ha, you think the devs would grant me this power for only turning you over? I die when this is over, i will live only long enough to read the lore. And i assure you, those aren't guild knockoffs, they are dev forged.
-
Carn! Just calm down and have a Snickers!
-
Nope.
Devs don't know what it looks like, don't know how it works, and as it is technically not affiliated with the game...
It's my intellectual property.
*Snaps fingers and all the Anglean Tartarus' explode violently, then I sue the pants off the devs*
-
I will calm down when the lore is done
(I am SOOO enjoying being the villain)
Pah, you got me, however that does mean that the tartarus is not even IN the game
*Waves hand at the gun and reveals it is a pile of rubber ducks*
-
Yes, but neither is invincibility. *Waves hand and the ducks assemble themselves into a working Tartarus made of rubber ducks*
-
Secrets of the Muse Gods my friend *Snaps fingers and pops the rubber duck tartarus*
-
*Waves hand and acquires a bag of popcorn, then sits down to enjoy the show.*
-
Meanwhile.....
*continues tunneling unnoticed under the desk and castle with the army of subterranean tunneling Pineapples*
-
Sorry Koali, I really am. But the Muse gods desire the secrets of your abilities. *Reveals that the popcorn is kirby poison, paralyzing Koali* I was fond of you, but the knowledge of an entire people must come before the life of one creature
-
*Shoots a ducktape warhead at Carn, burying him in ducktape.*
Not even Muse can deny the force that holds the universe together!
*Drops a Tartarus on Carn and gives Koali a metamato*
-
*Reject the Metamato and assumes Stone form.*
As if you'd capture me by simply poisoning me! Think again!
Oh, and I much prefer Maxim Tomatos. Metamatos are for yarn wizards only.
-
Oh please, the Muse Gods created duct tape as with everything else. As I am a dead man in service to them, it has no effect on me. Stone form eh? *snaps fingers and Koali is trapped in stone form, unable to move, and unable to resume normal form, though able to telepathically communicate*
-
Nope, DT was before their time, they have no control over it. And you're still buried. *Smacks Koali with buff hammer*
-
oh fine if you insist *levitates duct tape off* in any event, any item in this world is controlled by the devs, including duct tape *sees Shaded trying to buff Koali* Only a dev can remove that curse
-
Who said I was removing it? *The buff completes, allowing Koali full movement. Because bendy stone is the only possible way to have a better statue.*
*Buries Carn in celestial duck tape from Azathoth's throne.*
-
*levitates the special duct tape off, and proceeds to bury shaded in it* Thats intersting Koali, sadly for you that buff will wear out in a few minutes, make it count. *snaps fingers encasing Shaded's limbs with the Duct tape effectively tapping him*
-
*A Tartarus melts the tape, releasing me.*
You leave me no choice.
*Retrieves kitten from pocket*
-
Wow this has to be the fastest growing thread I've seen...
This is good, it shows the want for Erics Lore is high in demand.
-
People want lore, eh? ...........
-
No, we wanted you guys to have Pizza, any maybe get raided by Anglean Marauders. We were never going to raid Eric's desk. Really. It's not like we had an overblown plan or anything that Carn sold out to Muse.
Through all this, I am wondering why Koali didn't just swallow Carn and gain the Dev-Protection powers. Well, who knows what Kirby's do.
-
People want lore, eh? ...........
Well seeing as how about a third of the factions were left unfinished. It's either sloppy, lazy or a product of a dev who can't stay focused one one project for too long. But I asked about this a few firesides ago and Eric said he'll get to it when he gets to it.
-

Jacob! You came!
Using the powers of chaos and inconsistency, Kirby awakens from Stone form and smacks Carn with Jacob's GameBoy... Only to realize he no longer has the relic as he has given it back to Jacob.
-
A kitten? Really? I dont have cat allergies if thats what your trying to do.
-
Where did the kitten come from?
Ah, who cares, we have duct tape, poisonous popcorn, a Yeshan Youth armada, a horde of Anglean raiders, a flying fortress of doom, Pizza, a Princess, and a desk. This RP thread is crazy.
-
ahem, those raiders are on my payroll, they are no longer fighting the fortress, they are instead destroying your yeshan forces.
(This thread has gone so far down the rabbit hole, we broke into another rabbit hole and are going down that one. I vote one of the best threads ever.)

Yeah the discrepancy in the lore is a shame. We had someone working on it in the good old days who has since left the project. Eric is now Master of the Lore and has taken on the old lore and adapted it. It's gone through a couple of redos so we're trying to get all of the old and new lore up to the same standard - preferably a very high standard! :D
-
I'd love to help lore :D
*Hint hint*

I love lore, id be willing to help aswell

A good proof I should help: Look at the counting thread. Remember my stories, eh? ;)

A community driven lore competition event would be pretty good.
Ask the us to submit a page on few subjects: certain towns, battlefields, boss ships, etc. etc.
Than, instead of an endless writing and rewriting, you guys (the devs) can pick the ones that work. I bet you'll get a pretty good set to go off of. If the event ends up being a complete, utter failure, it's not like lore is getting lost.
In fact, give me a moment while I email this to feedback@muse.

Thirded.
There's nothing to lose except the setup time, and it can only help.
-
I'd help with the writing, but I'd probably make it a bit too chaotic.

considering what you did in the tavern thread, yeah probably

I used to write lore, quests, and the setting (places, people, things, background) for another online game I am loath to mention. I was the master of taking their old crap and tying it to the new crap, then making it not crap. I must say that some of the other writers did not like me much when I told them their writing was not up to standard. Things went bad (due to some open but not open source issues), I pulled my work, and the entire thing left me rather cautious about getting too involved in the lore of a game again.
Anyways, I guess my point is that it is not an easy job. Not everything can be 'epic', so there is a lot of boilerplate writing.

Well, I'm definitely not suggesting that the community writes the entire epic lore. We just write tons of flavor texts, descriptions, and such that Muse can pick from.
If we let the entire lore be written by the community, it'll probably end up like our plan to raid Eric's desk, involving duct tape, pizza, traitorous Angleans, a Yeshan YMCA, an evil flying fortress, and a princess. Actually, I think I've had a dream like this. :)
-
Aaand there's the RP Tavern, which is a clusterHEUGH of colored matter, Hellfire, and general chaos.

to be fair, i wasn't planning on vilifying myself. But someone calling me a spy well, i just ran with it.
-
I was actually talking about the person that has to do the 'picking'. Were there to be a community lore workshop thing, there would have to be a corresponding, full-time lore guru on the Muse team to sort it all out and make the master work. I am sure that will happen someday, but for now we will have to keep raiding various fortresses of office furniture.

raid Jacobs fern?

Anything but the fern. I'll sacrifice myself.

No no, boys, we shall raid the Coffee machine!

*Freezes in the middle of drinking a mug of coffee.*
Wait, I'm drinking LORE?!
-
*garbs knife* alright, time for a kirby disection. It must be one to rescue the lore
-
Whoa, easy there, Carn!
*Spits out several pages of lore.*
There's no need to make such a fuss.
-
*Picks up the spat out pages...*
"Guys? I think I found one of Rethburn's Fan fictions... I'm going to have a nightmare tonight..."
-
Are they Kirk X Admiral Obvious Fanfictions?
-
How 'bout no?
What do we do? Burn it?
*Prepares the Prometheus.*
-
I'd help, but I am under NDA :(
-
This is still going? I feel.responsible for terrible things...
Me and Indreams should not conspire together too often.. XD
-
(Spades)walks through the time hole and grabs some staples "excuse me..Thank you." Dissapears.
-
Wait, what? What just... Who was that?
-
I DON'T KNOW BUT I FOUND A TON OF LORE UNDER THE COUCH CUSHIONS
-
Read it! It could be about a guild of engineers attempting to recreate the beefy Pyramidions of old!
-
No, better!
I think it's about a new ship design!
-
Heck, at this point, the old Pyra would be.
-
New ship design? Pfft we want the lore!
Ship designs get released weekly! Lore however is always kept locked up!
Stop playing with the pointless stuff and find the lore!!!
