Stark's War °W°

How to win wars:

1. Be America.

2. Attack a country.

3. Get every country in the world apart from US of A to form an alliance against you.

4. Rebel, and get America to ally against you too.

5. ???

6. Victory.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hear hear, Kal!)

Lavender Hope said...

That's a good dedication, Kal.

(Being a certain country will not impact whether or not victory will be the outcome. Considering yourself as "American" or "Canadian" or "English" means absolutely nothing in terms of war. What can change a winning war into a losing one, or vice versa, is a change of leadership. It is not about what you have or who you are. It is about using what you have and using who you are in the best way possible.)

@Soph It is the plot of Stark's War, a fictional book trilogy. America remains as the world's last superpower, and no-one can challenge their supremacy of Earth. So other countries set up shop on the moon, and American corporations didn't like that one bit. In the end, a lot of countries combined forces to try and kick American forces off the moon.

But then they rebelled, and brought about a change in leadership.

Can't exactly blame them.

(*has finished reading Stark's War trilogy in less than a week*

I would love Derek to comment because I'm not allowed to get Twitter.
But he's not neglecting us because he's still posting and for a while it was just a day after we filled the last post. (Though it has been taking longer recently)
Just me opinion! :))

Hello!

Oh and Tanya, I'll answer you. I was sent by the laser cows.
*nodsnods*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*gasps*

What do they want from me?

(Bye, Hope!)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Well it may not from you but they're looking for a worthy human sacrifice

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Human sacrifice, you say?

*appears thoughtful*

You have a human body, right?

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Well...
Kinda. I'm one of the laser cow helpers so I'm only part human.
*nodsnods*

Kilandra Xyle said...

This is me writing any school essay. Or email. Or really just anything.

Noelle said...

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

That's great! All I have to do is find another lasercow helper, eat you both, then be sacrificed! Lead the way, Duggling!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I saw it, Midgardian.

Protector said...

I wonder how hard I'd have to hit you on the head to make you forget.

Protector said...

As are mine. - J

Noelle said...

The hills step off into whiteness.
People or stars
Regard me sadly, I disappoint them.

The train leaves a line of breath.
O slow
Horse the colour of rust,

Hooves, dolorous bells -
All morning the
Morning has been blackening,

A flower left out.
My bones hold a stillness, the far
Fields melt my heart.

They threaten
To let me through to a heaven
Starless and fatherless, a dark water.

I have no wit, I have no words, no tears;
My heart within me like a stone
Is numbed too much for hopes or fears;
Look right, look left, I dwell alone;
A lift mine eyes, but dimmed with grief
No everlasting hills I see;
My life is like the falling leaf;
O Jesus, quicken me.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Hit me and I will murder your children.

Protector said...

*Lightly taps Loki on the forehead*

Try it and I'll destroy all of Asguard starting with your sister.

(Very nice poem, Adra. - J)

Protector said...

SO ANYWAYS. How is everyone on this fine evening or whatever time of day/night it happens to be for each individual?

Elleni the Ghost said...

*takes a deep breath*
*closes eyes*
*lets out a long sigh*
*grits teeth*

Zaf, you have SKYPED with Derek. He put your character INTO THE BOOKS. He doesn't even know I EXIST.
You broke your promise.

HERE'S A QUOTE FOR Y'ALL.
"The true mark of maturity is when somebody hurts you and you try to understand their situation instead of trying to hurt them back."

Protector said...

Hi Ellie, nice quote.

Protector said...

Haven't watched that, is it like the Keanu Reeves movie?

Protector said...

You had me at "really creepy", and I never read the comics either.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Was someone talking to me? I ignore those who annoy me when they would like to move forward I gladly will speak.-Zaf


Touch my sister....*makes an image of Blake's head rolling* That will bw you.

Protector said...

*Rolls his eyes*

Oh wow, a death threat. Not like I get those five times a day.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Again- I would not lay a finger on Zanida, I would not be fast enough to kill you....

Protector said...

I have no idea what has possessed me to do this but I suddenly feel the need to share this genius with you all.

How to Blow Someones Mind

If roses are red and violets are blue, then by the commutative property the color blue is actually violet. And what two colors make violet? Red and blue. Which means you need red to make violet and since violet is blue you need red to make blue. But what makes red? The past tense of read because the word you read more than any other in this equation? Blue. You read blue, creating violet. And since violet is actually blue it proves that not only did I just blow your mind, but everything you just read (past tense) actually just blue your mind.

Noelle said...

*Gently touches Elleni's arm thankfully*

My eyeful of reflections a ghost's
Eyeful, which, envious,would define
Death as striking root on one land-tract;
Life, its own vaporous wayfarings.

It was not a heart, beating.
That muted boom, that clangor
Far off, not blood in the ears
Drumming up and fever

Like a diver on a lofty spar of land
Atop the flight of stairs I stand.
A whirlpool leers at me,
I cast off my identity
And make the fatal plunge.

Undershirts circled, tending
Without stop those greased machines,
Tending, without stop, the blunt
Indefatigable fact.

Protector said...

Correct, Loki. You are neither fast nor strong enough to kill me.

Elleni the Ghost said...

I give up.

Elleni the Ghost said...

:O

:)

Aw, I'm so touched

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

It is nearly 02.37. Must go to sleep.

I wish you all a good night.

Stay strong.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Purple peeps!

Protector said...

G'night Tia.

Protector said...

Hello, Dug.

Elleni the Ghost said...

That comment makes me so happy. :)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

No, Thor would beat me to it. Now nobody can pick that hammer up.

((Yes he means nobody unless you are Thor, that's from mythology.-Zaf

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Quack!
*hey Blake!*

Protector said...

I don't think I've ever actually fought your adopted brother. That'd be fun.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I advise against trying.

Protector said...

Oh come on, just because you can't beat him doesn't mean I can't. I should start keeping track of my record so when people doubt me I can remind them of my lack of losses.

Noelle said...

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Quack!
*stares into Kallista's eyes, wondering how they are doing*

Elleni the Ghost said...

Hope you're feeling okay, Adra..

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I would advise against it, but it is your death, Blake.

I will take my leave now.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Night!

Noelle said...

Negativity is a disease
Some subject to it
Some thrived by it
Some consumed by it.
And I, I stand on the spectrum
Where I am surrounded by it
Where my whole world is black,
The only color being in hope
Of another life.
A life that is just one slice away.

I'm sorry I said that earlier... On the first page... I like your poems, and I think it's a good way to share your feelings. I'm sorry for being so negative about it.

Sooooooo.......

Umm, what's happening in Blogland, huh?
Anything exciting?
Any juicy gossip I should hear about?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello.)

Elleni the Ghost said...

(Okay, well, El drank the whole thing, got knocked out, woke up, didn't notice the new cup, wondered who the heck she was with, who the heck's treehouse she was in, and panicked.)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello, Elleni. How are you?)

Lavender Hope said...

I wrote some lyrics... It was sudden and I was half asleep when my mind decided to create a song from memories...

Sometimes that peace is shattered,
Sometimes you feel like nothing matters
In the end you only wanna say goodbye

Sometimes that hope has faded,
Sometimes the past is shaded,
And you just feel like you're an empty shell

Don't worry cause things get better
You and me, we got each other
And no one can tell you how to live your life.

(It's short because I couldn't think of anything more. Just thought I'd share...)

Savannah said...

(And YAY I just got the Tree Frog on Crossy Road! (I am somewhat obsessed, much like every other girl in my year...) And I don't think anyone else is on but I will continue to hover and check the comments section every now and then and will announce to no one that I am leaving but yeah... YAY!)

*pokes Chrysalis' face*
Are you alright?

Garret Falcone said...

Hello Vel, how be you?
Hello to everyone else, how be you?

Savannah said...

(I'm great thanks, best day ever! (If you want to know why, read further up, I am not explaining it again!))

Felicity Fuddle said...

I can't belive I fainted, it's such an old woman thing to do
*complains while heading over to rocking chair to knit scarf*

*smiles at Chrysalis* Don't worry, I tend to faint here quite a lot too...

Just read why your so happy,
Fair doo's and your jammy, for what happened at the dentist....
*high fives and offers you some cake*)

(CAKE!!! *munches happily* *mouth full* How are you Garr?)

I'm alright thank you, just chillin.... *climbs out of fridge* <badum boom tush! )

Savannah said...

(Mine does that too Chrys (Can I call you that?) it sucks...)

Garret Falcone said...

I'm not in college or uni or school and i don't have a job,
The best to put that is, I'm between educations (I'm at the age for going to college but I'm going to go next September for reasons.....)

Savannah said...

(Cool! So you're basically taking a gap year?)

Jophiel said...

(Does no one really care that there are possible ISIS terrorists in Sydney that are currently holding up to 30 hostages in a Lindt shop?)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(@Danni I don't know what you mean by "care"

There is nothing I can do about it.

:/)

Garret Falcone said...

Yes *nods* that's basically what I'm doing Vel)
I had no idea that was happening in Sydney right now.....
Jesus that's not cool.... (no shiz Gar) )

Jophiel said...

(I spoke of it earlier and it was ignored.

This is a serious thing.

I don't know if it's because none of you live in Australia, but I've spent the entire day crying out of fear.)

Felicity Fuddle said...

*pop* back again, I just found out through borrowing a friends phone and using their net to check the comments that I just ignored a nice person called Velvet Shadows and I wanted to say sorry before taking off again because my phone or internet connection is slow and I fear I might accidentally ignore someone again so hi Vel, nice to meet you so sorry for not responding I had no idea there were still other people commenting, my phone wouldn't even let me see my own comments so I was just writting whatever, sorry again and goodbye and goodnight. I'd also like to say that this is my first time commenting on the blog after following it since forever and I can die happy now, no wait, I have to meet derek first.
Now I've written too much but I don't want to backspace it because it took a lot of time.
Finally commented, woo, personal achievement!
Sorry again Vel, I feel better now, now I can go, goodnight! :)

Savannah said...

(I haven't heard about that, it's awful! Not too sure what ISIS are though... (Sorry Memories, I do care, I just didn't hear about it until now...) Nice to meet you by the way though! I'm Velvet (Velv/Vel) Shadows, obsessed with Skulduggery Pleasant, Sherlock BBC and CAKE! *holds out hand*
Hi Tia!
That's cool Garr!)

Garret Falcone said...

Thank you Vel)

Savannah said...

(Bye Chrys! Goodbye! WAIT, TAKE SOME CAKE BEFORE YOU GO! *chucks cake*)

Savannah said...

(Welcome Garr!)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hey, Velv and Gar.

Bye, Chrysalis!

*hugs Danni softly*

Savannah said...

(How are you Tia?)

Noelle said...

Thousands of women per year in the Congo are raped, murdered, mutilated, and disgraced.

In Nicaragua, there is femicide, the act of killing a woman for being a woman- an outright hate crime.

In India, more than a million women are raped or beaten per year. (To be honest, I'm sure those numbers are an upwards of tens of millions, since there is one billion people in India).

There are bigger things to cry about, and this situation doesn't have any casualties. That is why no one has responded. Your government can take care of it. There are other governments who can't

Also, an Islamic flag doesn't necessarily mean a default to ISIS.

I'm sorry, but I needed to say that.

Lavender Hope said...

*hugs Memories*
Stay safe, friend. I am hoping for everyone else's safty as well.

And it's good to get it out, Adra. Thank you for sharing. Some of us, myself included, don't know what goes on in other places around the world, so thank oh for opening our eyes.

So to speak...
*may be here*

Savannah said...

(Wow Adra... I never knew about anything like that... It's terrible...)

Savannah said...

(Hi Lavender!)

Lavender Hope said...

*you

I have no idea where that oh came from...

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

I see, Adra.

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Velvet. How are you today?

Lavender Hope said...

*hopes Memories isn't offended by Adra's comment*
There may be other things to cry about, but remember that the hostages thing is happening in her own country. Maybe even close to where she lives. It's only natural for Memories to be upset(could I say scared?) about it.

Savannah said...

(I was great for reasons further up... But now I'm sad... It's not anyone's fault but it's just sad to realise what's going on in the world...)

Jophiel said...

(But nothing like this happens in Australia. Australia is supposed to be safe. Strict gun laws, safe streets, usually 1 fatal rape and murder every week in the entire continent...

This doesn't happen in Australia.

And the officials think that the guy holding them hostage is trying to bring attention to ISIS in Australia.

There are also several bombs planted around Sydney, ready to blow at any second.

Forgive me for being scared. I know I'm sheltered from the really horrible things of the world, but I - being human being - can get scared of the smallest things. Not spiders, not snakes, not the boogeyman. In scare of war.

This could trigger it.

First with Putin bringing his warships over here, and now possible ISIS terrorists...)

Lavender Hope said...

*hugs Vel*
Lots of things are going on in the world. Sometimes, there are ways to help, sometimes, you can't do anything, so please don't be sad.

I am sad for them too, and it'll always be there in the back of my mind for a time when I can make a difference, but until the opportunity comes, there is nothing I can do, so I will try not to be too sad. Even though it is hard sometimes after news like this.

Jophiel said...

And I'm sure you don't have this problem, but if Australia and another country go to war, the place I live will get blown up first.

Because I happen to live right next to where all f Australia's radio communications are. If there's a radio station in Perth, it goes to where I live first.

And I don't want to be blown up.

Lavender Hope said...

*hugs Memories*
I understand how scary it must be. I hope for your safty and that of everyone in and around Sydney.

And I feel sorry that I cannot do anything to help except be here for you.

Noelle said...

....
And my point was completely missed.

I have to go to school, anyway. Bye.

Lavender Hope said...

It wasn't missed, Adra, but please understand that it's her HOME COUNTRY. Of course she's going to worry. But you bring out a good point as well. Some countries have so many problems that we shouldn't be complaining when our own country starts having problems. But we would anyway because it's only natural.

We can't suddenly change the way humanity is. It's a slow process that not everyone wants to go through.

*hugs her as she leaves*
I hope you have a good day...

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

It wasn't completely missed, Adra. Good bye!

Savannah said...

(I'm sorry Memories. *hugs* I can understand how you must be feeling and I promise I'll always be here to help you!
Thanks Lav!
Bye Adra, please come back on later! Pleaaaase?)

Lavender Hope said...

*sighs*
So other than being scared, worried, or sad, how else is everyone?

Also, that's good for you, Vel, that you don't have school today. I hope you have a good time.

*is being somewhat oddly polite this evening*
Although I'm starting to get back to my usual self, but those first comments of mine were really strangely not like me...

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*walks up to Hope*

Good evening, madame.

Lavender Hope said...

*nods her head in acknowledgement to Tia*
Good morning to you, sir. And how might you be this day?

*finds it interesting how well she actually can speak the old fashioned way*

Lavender Hope said...

*notices some mistakes or ways it could have been better*
...

Sort of. :P

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Tanya was leaning over a tactical display in the most safely-guarded room in her bunker.

Technically, she wasn't Tanya any more. She was Commander, her second in charge was Anita, and the guards at the doors, the soldiers in the first and second divisions that were currently in combat practice, they were Tanya, each and every one of them.

Commander Halcyon smiled, looking at her displays, one showing the readiness of her troops, another a part of Blogland.

I'll make you proud, Tia.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Merry Christmas, friends and loved ones.

Savannah said...

(No chance of me having a good time today, my brother is off school too and he has his friends round... HELP!)

Savannah said...

(Hi Clara! Merry Christamas to you too!)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

I'm... sad about Danni.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hi, Clara and Velv.

Lavender Hope said...

Merry Christmas, Crow. Even though it's not the day yet. :P How be you?

Are you making a story with that, Tia? It's good. :)

Stay on here with us, Vel! Hide from them!
*is not helping much*
Sorry...

The Grave of a Coward said...

Merry Christmas, Velvet and Ti . . . Ti . . .

*wakes back up with a jerk*
Ugh. I am very sleep deprived.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*trying to think of something to talk about*
Er, guess what I got thrift shopping yesterday. It's the coolest thing ever.

Lavender Hope said...

Me too...

So I guess now would be a bad time to mention a funny moment I had earlier?

*gets mentally smacked upside the head by another part of herself for trying to bring that up*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

A bike?

Lavender Hope said...

Okay, Crow, tell us.

Be right back.

Savannah said...

(How are you Tia?
Will do Lav, you're not catching anywhere apart from Blogland... And maybe Minecraft... And snapchat... And other games/social media apps on my iPad!
How are you apart from tired Clara?)

The Grave of a Coward said...

I found two Edison records, in their original packaging from 1904. One of them is in bits, but the other is intact, and can probably be played if I had the right hardware.

They're amazing. Tube-shaped, if you didn't know. Phonograph records manufactured in Edison's lab itself. Pretty neat, huh?

Savannah said...

(Tell us Clara!
And what's your funny story Lav?)

Savannah said...

(Wow Clara, that's amazing!)

I'm doing quite well, Velvet. I'm tired because I've had a lot of Christmas parties all stacked together this weekend, with a lot of hard study squashed between them. I've got a big test the day before Christmas Eve, before I can go on break.

Rose has every right to be terrified, I would be. Yes, other countries have problems, but what if it was in your state or county this was happening? Then you'd be terrified, if ISIS is part of it, then worry, if its just a weirdo who is working alone, well at least it isn't ISIS. Until the Australians figure it out, Rose is going to naturally be scared. So, I just hope people who think its a bit dramatic realize how terrifying that really is.

Lavender Hope said...

Wow, that's really cool, Crow! And it also sucks that you guys have so many tests right before Christmas.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Ugh, it's a nightmare. I'm not feeling confident about this test at all. Still, if I fail, I'll at least have Christmas right there to cheer me up.

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Zaf.
*nods in agreement, then wonders something*
*shakes her head clear*
How are you?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ha! I have one next period, then another in Spanish thank god I skip Government with tests.

I have auditions today which sucks because I don't like singing solo.

Lavender Hope said...

Way to think on the upside, Clara! :)

Still, good luck on the test!

Savannah said...

(That's unlucky Clara, good luck, I'm sure you'll do well!
Why does everyone seem to have big tests at the moment?
Hi Zaf! Well said, I agree and hope she's okay...)

Savannah said...

(Good luck with everything Zaf, you'll be great!)

Lavender Hope said...

Good luck with your tests too, Zaf.

And the audition. :) I'm sure you'll do fine. I believe in you!!!

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hello, Zaf.

(My day? I'll spend most of it worrying about Danni, unless I can distract myself.

I hope she's ok.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Just keep checking the news, it will be global.

Thanks. *is petrified* I just want to get the damned thing done.-ZF

Lavender Hope said...

*nods at Tia*
I'm trying to distract myself, but it is hard.

I don't want to seem uncaring, but what can I do besides worry?

It would be nice if she could comment though, that worries me too... She hasn't commented in a while.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Boom

Lavender Hope said...

*gapes at first comment*
I seriously had no clue how close we were to the next page!

Zaf/Loki, you can take it.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Loki has emailed her and she has not replied since around the time she last commented....he worries.

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Kal.

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Kal.

Savannah said...

(Hi Kal! How are you?)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

HA!!! Mental argument over ded rights-

Declares that Zafira is terrible at fending me off.

I dedicate this page to Leif and Kari, and to the hope that the Midgardians of ISIS will fail, it is my job to rule Midgard, not them.

I also add to the vampire Silente to mess with her.

To Rose- I hope she is safe.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

I mean her personally. She's upset. Probably trying to get sleep.

Lavender Hope said...

Sorry, wifi's being slow again. I may suddenly go distant.

Hmm...

Sgd? Msgd? Could we use that?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hear hear!)

Savannah said...

(Don't worry Zaf and Lav, she's probably just busy doing something. *hugs*)

Savannah said...

(Hear hear!)

Lavender Hope said...

Nice ded, Loki.
*smiles for a moment*

@Tia: That's true... It's late for us on the east side of the world. It must be really hard for her to sleep when the news is so worrisome though...

Lavender Hope said...

That's good to hear, Kal. :)

We are worried. *points to her top comment and the comments from the previous page*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Msd.

Too early more like...

STUPID ASGARDIAN!!!

-Zaf

Lavender Hope said...

Okay, Zaf.

It's rather interesting to see you mentally fighting with a Norse god. Please don't be offended by that.

Lavender Hope said...

*has to go*
I will be on later, so see you then.

Savannah said...

(Bye Lav! If you wanna talk you can email me too! Seirshaens@gmail.com (that goes for anyone too!)
High five Kal! I finished on Friday!)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I often wonder whether it is worth keeping up the facade and continuing to be nice to so many people.

Savannah said...

(What do you mean Alastair? Nice to meet you! *holds out hand* I am Velvet (Velv/Vel) Shadows, obsessed with Skulduggery Pleasant, Sherlock BBC and CAKE!)

Savannah said...

(That was amazing Kall... I hope everyone in Aussie is okay, I also have a couple of friends there, my school friend who left to live in Perth and my English/Form teacher who will have just arrived back there to live there, I hope they are both okay, as well as Memories...)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I mean, Velvet, that I am far kinder to everyone here than I used to be, and that I am reconsidering the wisdom of that decision.
