Title: Changes to Balance


Lothlómendil - February 11, 2008 12:04 AM (GMT)
After many discussions with Threnody about the many confusions related to the element of Balance, especially those regarding it being the opposite of Chaos, we have decided to rename the official element to Order. Thren is now known as the Goddess of Order, and Balance is one of her domains. We felt that this better clarified certain aspects of this very complex element.

As a side note, I've cleaned up several emotes that we had in the CBox but not on the board, and they've finally been added here! There may be a few more to come soon. Enjoy:

Wow these look great! :suave:

:icecream: !

Excellent, excellent. This would probably make more sense if I was on my Ita account so I could start smack-talkin' good ol' Sister Renny, but for now I'll just say yay! Definitely a good change. *thumbs up*

And those emotes look great, by the way.

Order is a good change! Is balance now going to be a guardian position?

:shutup:

Ah, I misworded the first post. *edits* Balance is now one of the domains under Order, but it is not a full-fledged sub-element that gets a guardian. It may be something to consider for the future, but I'm thinking that will not be the case.

So, now there is: Light vs. Darkness/Lfe vs. Death/Order vs. Chaos? :ninja:

New emotes are teh uber :suave:

Don't forget about Fire/Water, Earth/Air, and... I think that's it?

Hrothgar - February 11, 2008 01:05 AM (GMT)
Yes, yes, those are opposed elements too but I was more thinking about the primary (Life, Light, Death, Darkness etc.) and the Life vs. Death and sht00ff are more of an example.

Also, I agree that Balance to Order is a good change indeed. But maybe there could be another element between Order and Chaos that is called Balance...even though that would a bit complicate things :/

I have to admit this is a great decision and very original, you don't often see a God/dess of Order its usually Balance but I think this is a much better way. Great choice!

Speaking of that I wonder are Thren and Raku ever going to come back full time?

Awesome emotes though maybeh I will make one for Markeh!

Thren is back full time :) you'll find her alt, Phedre walkin' about...

Fire and water may be opposite elements, but as of right now those particular Guardians do not oppose each other in the least. Might check out the thread between Jup and I...

Well, that makes a lot of sense. Good change Loth. It also seems to put more emphasis on Time as being unbiased and constant. Not really just an extra slot, but the 'element' that's just in the middle of it all.

Yes, it appears that they heart each other :p [/spam] *vanishes from the thread immediately*

You heard it here first folks!!

And stay on the lookout for a new twist on "tournaments/quests" as a celebratory Threnody extravaganza....

:hifty:

Winter - February 11, 2008 10:16 AM (GMT)
I see....Well I suppose that clears a few things up...

Nice emotes BTW...

Zekhen - February 11, 2008 10:59 AM (GMT)
Nifty!

Could Law also be a sub-element of Order? That would make more sense...

Kieraline - February 11, 2008 01:21 PM (GMT)
Quite the nice change! Very original and awesome.

:D

Mosha - February 11, 2008 05:10 PM (GMT)
Niffys! :o
