hrtbrk Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Three factions have already shown interest in the obelisk. Now, the Brute Squad are also interested. Watch what they have to say here!!

Bubbleline Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Have I mentioned how positively excited I am?! The Sway are still the definite choice for me but the introduction of The Brutes have definitely got me pumped! *clears throat* Ahem, that is to say, my curiosity has definitely been piqued. We shall see how this battle plays out. Surely The Sway shall come out victorious but perhaps one of the other groups shall provide a bit of a challenge.

BEE. Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Ah, I am SO excited!! I started squealing to myself while watching the video about the Brute Squad I can't choose who I prefer between Red Erisim & the Brute Squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackjack_OR Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Someone before said something about it being like another game with guilds: Theives, Dark somethings, Mages, Warriors, etc. Made sense, but really seeing it in action now, lol Also- arent The Sway supposed to be meeting today (2 days after their message/video)? Has anyone figured out the meeting place? This post has been edited by a member of staff (hrtbrk) because of a violation of the forum rules. Please don't double post.

essiw Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I am wondering (this is my first plot/war) does the choice we make reflect on what we will have to do? I am a beginner so I am low levelled, and I wondered if I join the thieves would I need to do less fighting then the warriors? lilllisan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mireia Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Also- arent The Sway supposed to be meeting today (2 days after their message/video)? Has anyone figured out the meeting place? Most people on the Neoboards guessed they might be Neopians, so probably the meeting will be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bandit Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 "This will be a war sung of for generations to come." Has to be the best start to a Neopets Plot ever :D Rebecca~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome Back Apathy Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Eh. If their theme is simply "we're strong", I don't think they'll get many supporters. And therefore they won't be very strong at all :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaana Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I wonder if we're gonna end up with lots of battlers going to this faction... In other news, ahh, so undecided about which faction to choose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realcar Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I wonder if this plot might have a significant 2player battledome element. I mean, if we're all going to be warring against each other.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erato_ Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Well, they seem the least interesting to me, because no battle is ever won by brute force. The Sway is very intriguing but they seem too power-hungry and sheer evil to be given the obelisk. My favorite is definitely The Order. blackjack_OR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasarahsept Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I don't like these guys... I am still trying to choose from the Thieves Guild and the Red Erisim. So its been 2 days, right? Someone post the location of that Sway meeting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balance Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Well, they seem the least interesting to me, because no battle is ever won by brute force.On the contrary, many battles--perhaps even most, historically--have been won by brute force. It's just that clever strategems and victorious underdogs make for more interesting stories than "Grog the Unwashed defeated Milksop the Puny by bashing him over the head with a small tree. Repeatedly." We hear more about the times Milksop wins by his wits because it's unusual. "When a dog bites a man that is not news, but when a man bites a dog that is news." That's not an argument for joining the Brute Squad, however. Quite the opposite, in fact--the brute force approach tends to be boring. For me, the only redeeming feature of the faction is the Princess Bride reference. :D UglyPie and ehsgeek15 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovedwallflower Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 meh this is the least interesting faction so far.. they seem like thugs with their only redeeming quality being strength - which the sway has anyway through strategy and ruthlessness and the red erism has through magic. i wonder if that's it re: factions? 4 seems more than enough to keep it nice and even and not too confusing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d.Lia Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Brute Squad has fun stickman drawings :D I started laughing so hard when I saw the stickmen! allthestickysugar, UglyPie, Rebecca~ and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the video for the sway, their meeting should be today, so shouldn't we be able to pick sides soon? I hope so!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris10ly Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 As someone who hasn't participated in a plot before, can I ask what the point of the various factions are? Like...what impact will my choice make? If I side with the obviously least-popular Brute Squad and they lose the war, does that make me eligible for fewer prizes/plot points? A worse trophy? Or what? Exactly how careful should I be in choosing my side in this fight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdoll66 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'm not sure what group I'm going to join. I was hoping this group would be the Tyrannian army, because I thought that would be the best fit for my pet. She's the type to side with the good guys. Process of elimination leaves her with The Order of the Red Erisim, but I'm not too excited about it. At least I won't be disappointed if there are different challenges for different factions. I would be pretty happy to find out that we are actually supposed to be fighting the factions instead of joining them. I hope there isn't a 2P portion. I want to be optimistic, but technical problems will be pretty much guaranteed if they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly how careful should I be in choosing my side in this fight? I do not believe there have ever been this many options to choose from in a plot (if you really can, this is still all speculation). But usually there won't be any 'impact' as such.I am sure that whatever faction you chose, you can get as many points as with another, similar to the Altador Cup.

Wildbreeze Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 This has to be my least favorite of the groups so far. I'm leaning in favor of the Order of the Red Erisim. But I do adore the stick figures on their map. :D blackjack_OR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anxious Zombie Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) These guys scare me more then the Sway. Trecci is having a hard time picking between the last two :/ Add: Has anyone else noticed that there seems to be room for 1 more video? Maybe there will be a band of obvious good guys Edited February 18, 2013 by coopkaty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly how careful should I be in choosing my side in this fight? I've done all the plots except the very first two - and they've all been different in some way - so a bit difficult to say to be honest. However, possibly the closest one I remember is the Champions of Meridell plot, way back in 2002. You could choose whether to fight for Meridell or Darigan. Depending which side you chose, you ended up with different kinds of trophy on your look-up (and a different avatar), but both sides had various (and equal) trophies, depending on how much you participated in the plot, and how many baddies you killed. There wasn't a prize shop back then - you just got automatic prizes depending on how you did. So I would imagine it won't make any substantial difference, except being able to say "My team won!", or not, as the case may be ;) I would be very surprised if there's any 2P battling - probably each team will have different, but equally specced, 1-P challengers to fight.
