The Dark Side of Imagination

You have probably thought I was copying StarWars, but I'm not. What I'm saying is that have you ever felt like learning the Rooks way, well this is just an idea & I think glitchs should learn the way of the rook.

  • We should totally be able to fight for the Rook. 
    This is Alliance vs Horde all over again :P

  • You can summon the rook by rolling the 12-sided die.  Maybe that should be your starting point.

  • This occurred to me last night: Have any of the Rookist Glitchen (and I know there are a few) ever showed up at a Rook Attack to cheer for the Rook? This seems like it would be pretty fun roleplaying (provided it is limited to verbal/moral support and not actually sabotaging the defenders' efforts)

  • I would cheer for Chickens. :D

    Those who are Chickens Squeezers, I'll squeeze you neck. Muahahaha.

  • Rookists *do* show up at Rook attacks and often try to confound our efforts. Sometimes successfully...for a while, at least. Funny thing is, I love the Rooks and I go to fight 'em because I just can't get enough of watching them scratch up my screen.

  • What if all we know is wrong?

    Maybe the Giants are the evil ones.

    And the Rooks, are just fighting to keep their homes?

    I.e Indians and Settlers.

  • Interesting- isnt the rook anti imagination- undoing everything the giants imagine so in the end there would be no game if we all went team rook.

  • But what if that's wrong?
    Makes me think.
    And other things.

  • I don't want to see a combat situation of player v. player in the game, though. The tree wars are bad enough.

  • Funny that I was involved in both, although cheering for the rook by holding signs seems funny and harmless. (As long as the signs were pre-made by TS)

  • The animation when the Rook actually gets a strike in is the most awesome thing in the universe... if you haven't seen it, you might not want to try so hard to beat the Rook attack right at the beginning next time...

  • Giant propaganda is a lie! Free your minds! The Rook will help you see the TRUTH

    Aha, but really, I loved the Rook fights and now that Aranna is all "better" I miss them greatly.

  • The only thing I miss about The Rook is giving them a taste of righteous fury courtesy of Martial Imagination and Piety... that and the challenge of cracking their attack frequency.

  • all i'm saying...
    is ancient ix-ists were hell worshippers.

  • There used to be a rook quest to find a rook egg. It was attached to I think martial imagination learning. Except by the time I got around to learning it the quest had been benched. I would like to know if it is going to come back.
    Plus I do wonder if instancing rook attacks to a maximum number of players per street would make them farer. Same for street projects.
    Even state that this is instanced, and you'd like in on which ever group instance has your friends in it.
    I'm starting to complicate it now and confusing myself. I hope you know what I mean.
    Still, more rook stuff would add a whole new level of excitement.

  • Worship The Rook with us Rookists! -  http://www.glitch.com/groups/RA5OM4105NK2Q0I/

    Don't believe the giants' lies(aka imagination, aka not real), let the rook guide you to truth! The Rook only wants you to see reality!

  • Eh, I lived in a rook house, that was enough. Went to my first real rook attack (I have rolled one before) today and I gotta say it was pretty cool but didn't last long. Besides, I'm thinking I might be more interested in Trisor down in Hell. Seems like an interesting fellow, maybe he's in it with the rook, who can really say?

  • @jobs that quest was around long before martial imagination.
    Posted 11 months ago by Negata Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I like Rooks and I hate Rooks, it's terribly fun to fight them, but...I rather enjoy imagination as well. After all, without it there would be no Glitch. Therefore no rook. *food for thought*
    Also, I confess that I am addicted to rook-rolling. Hate on me if you want, but when you're waiting for herbs to grow and none of your friends are online...there's really nothing else to do.

  • I heard the player Rook used to play under a different name, and he would turn up at Rook attacks just to break the Orb.

  • Rook, or The Rook? Quite different fellows from what I've seen of them on the forum.

  • Rook :)

  • *shruuuugs* I have three things to say on this:

    1.) A good number of players play as "Rookists," it seems, which is a valid style of play. 
    2.) Even if it was a thing to get mad at him over, an unsubstantiated rumor with no details isn't much to run with.
    3.) I seem to recall both you and him getting involved in the "tree wars"--forgive me if I'm misremembering, but it seems like that's a thing to keep in mind at the moment.

  • he did it, that's not a rumour, many players remember him when he had the other name but me and Rook are kinda friends in a weird way and the tree war is over so read into it what you want.

    I don't even know what breaking the orb means lol so it's not like I was accusing him of some heinous crime. I justrthought it had some relevance to the actual topic but hey, u wanna blow it up into something it isn't, that's cool.

  • Ah, my friend Psibertus :) That was just "listed" in what we could or allegedly did, I never actually went out of my way to do that.

    That list I gave you have many "ideas" that were never performed  or witnessed by me and company...

    The tree war is over and mostly underground (off forums, and with different people). 

    Breaking the orb is when someone clicks "Stun attack" on their orb when it is already has been clicked by 7 or 8 (if you're lucky) other people [the number shows on the orb].

    I guess we're friends in a weird way. I don't recall anyone who's blocked me give 5 awesome stews as an evening snack. I have kept my word till today :) 
    [I've only hinted it in the past (for curiosity) which caused concern. ]
