The war on the smp server has begun

GLORIOUS NEWS FROM THE REVOLUTIONARY FRONT!

The Counter Cabby Revolutionary Front Newspaper

Our story begins in the City of Mynyyd Dinas,  formerly CABBYTOPIA! Oh, my dear readers, this title was revoked when the foul Babby took control over the city under the title of Warden under the absence of the High Council of Elders.

Diamonds were stolen! Cast into flame! Until I, dear readers, the glorious revolutionary leader EHS SHAMAN stepped forth into the blackest night to oppose his foul rule. With a base established deep within the Tundra the Counter-Cabby Revolutionary Front was founded.

When we pushed, Cabby pushed back. He seized public property and filled the city with his DAMNED propaganda. A wooden tower was erected in his honor. The words inscribed at the base were these: “AS LONG AS THIS TOWER STANDS, CABBY'S RULE SHALL BE ABSOLUTE”.

Mockery of the CCRF! Blades in hand and heart, we took to the streets, burning and destroying the tower. Humiliated, Cabby left... but not for long.

TOMORROW is the day of the GLORIOUS BATTLE OF MYNYYD DINAS! Fight for the tarnished empire on the side of the CCRF and in turn, the nobility. All soldiers who pledge their loyalty to the Revolution will be given plots of land in the newly founded suburban district and honorary Citizen of the Empire of Mynyyd status.

AGAINST ALL TYRANTS!

LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION!

February 20, 2011, 10:00 PM EST! Meet at spawn to be lead to the Glorious City by EHS Shaman

Rules of Engagement: No actively destructive weaponry. This is an ANTI PERSONEL war, not a siege! Don't destroy the city we're trying to protect!

If you die, stay at spawn.


and vice versa, apparently this was written by someone who never graduated english


The Great Cabby Post
Read or Die


At around 10 pm on February 19 Cabby, the beloved person established himself as the All knowing and loved "dictator". He ruled with a loving iron fist, and those who tried to back away from his love and didn't pay the Happy Taxes were executed with love in public. The demonic CCRF (Counter Cabby Revolutionary Front) Tried to take down Cabby with hateful propaganda, to counter Cabby's lovely propaganda of goodness. These hateful people, around 10:30 then attacked the Great Cabby aided by the CCRF "Brains", Shaman, and the brawn, Ods25. Cabby then fled to his summer home of Dorf Fortia, where he waits for re-enforcements and gathers his weapons. NOW HE WANTS YOU TO JOIN THE Peoples Republic of Cabby to take back the City formally known as Cabbytopia now Mynyyd Dinas. Don't destroy the city we are trying to capture, WE NEED IT IN ONE PEICE.





Try some of MaestroVen's rogue like favorites

Expedition - Sailing rogue-like set in the 15th century. a little like dwarf fort in that
its a town creator as well.

IVAN - standard rogue-like that is as brutal in difficulty as it is in addictiveness. i
sometimes wish i had heroin to turn to instead of this game.

NetHack - if you haven't played this, or even heard of this rogue-like, prepare to change
your undergarments. i can't think of a more quintessential rogue-like. this is a classic.

POWDER
 - GBA rogue-like ported to the pc. not the best but certainly the easiest to
understand and play. even more fun when played on an actually hand-held.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup
 - its an open source rogue-like that has a couple things
going for it. 1.) you can play this online 2.) its has crazy depth. there is literally too
much to this game to explain here. its good and arguably the best just take my word
for it.

Tales of Maj'Eyal - is a tolkien inspired rogue-like that is actually graphical. its flashy
and the combat is enjoyable. not the most original rogue-like but it will keep you preoccupied
for quite a while.

Transcendence - a spaceship rogue-like. you travel the galaxy and try to survive. prepare
to have withdrawals when not playing this game. violent withdrawals. if i could survive off
playing two games for the rest of my life it would be Transcendence and Dwarf Fortress.


btw any of these can be streamed
