A History of the Second Gleemax War
Part III: The Shifting Tides of War


By Glare_of_the_Loxodon
Chapter I: The Battle of SOGI Ruins Show
Link

Once a proud metropolis, the SOGI Ruins, once home to the Society of Gleemax Indifference, became a meeting point for the Three Armies at that time - the Cult of Gleemax, GAMRA, and the Cult of Tranzoorder. The ghost town represents an important strategic location for the campaigns of all three armies.

As the battle starts, Jm2c leads off with an elite team of Darksteel Colossus to ambush the GAMRAn general Gareth Lorn. Lorn, however, is soon aided by his lover, the Lady Gareth, and soon the forces of Gleemax, GAMRA and Tranzoorder embroil themselves in the nexus of the skirmish, as more prominent members of each side move forth to aid their allies in the skirmish.

Soon, Jm2c comes up with a brillant plan. He quickly casts some powerful magic to teleport the Gleemaxian troops to another dimension, then unleashes a brutal Plague Wind onto the whole battlefield. Combined with a concurrent Force Storm and a Wave of Terror, the resulting storm thrashes much of the remaining armies, and generals from all sides are forced to seek shelter from the storm, or like some, die. Soon, however, as the storm reaches past the height of its power, the powerful Neo Deus quickly collapses it. But not before it decimates even the ruins itself.

As the battle nears its conclusion, azuro_arcanis tries to animate the land itself, but is hindered by the Mycosynth Lattice that had materialized in the battlefield. Ephemeron, the one who materialized the Lattice, quickly casts a Leyline of Singularity, which wipes out a large number of troops from all sides. Just then, the Gleemaxian troops reappear onto the battlefield, and wipes up their remaining enemies.

The battle has ended. Victory went to the Gleemaxians.
Chapter II: The Trifecta of Arbiters Show
Link, Link 2

The Council of Justicars was created to act as judges for conflicts that needed an impartial view. A Final Arbitration of Death would have to be requested from the Justicars for them to judge the results of the battle.

The first Justicars were Dremmen, Glare_of_the_Loxodon and Lady_of_Silence, with ZsasZ acting as a Official Council Arbiter, a fourth opinion.
Chapter III: The Boiling Seas Battle Show
Link

Victorious in the past battle, the Gleemaxians move on to their next target - The Boiling Seas. A strategic location in the middle of both continents, and home to Trizap's Laboratory, capturing it would greatly aid their war efforts. However, the Poxmarked Pirate Clans stands in their way.

The Clans lead off with fire and lightning, bombarding the Gleemaxian ships with them. Soon, ships collide, as players from either side clash in a battle of magic and weaponry. Anything and everything conceivable was used - Chunks of floating castle, greek fire, flowstone, lasers, dragons.

The deciding factor, though, was a force of nature - A gigantic wave. The Clans, being more accustomed to sea life, recovered quicker and had less casualities, and soon pushed back the waterlogged Gleemaxians. The Gleemaxians had lost.
Chapter IV: The Death of a Goddess Show
Link, Link 2, Link 3

The goddess tranzoorder has fallen, and so has her cult's Praetor, the Lady Gareth. But the Cult of Tranzoorder will live on, under a new name - The Church of the YMtC Pantheon. And the ruins of the past church will forever be a testimonial to the greatness of Tranzoorder.
Chapter V: The Drachmian Wastes Battle Show
Link

The Drachmian Wastes - A barren land, yet another area in between the Northern and Southern continents. The Gleemaxians, not capturing the Boiling Seas, move on to the Wastes, their next substitute. But both GAMRA and the Church have recovered from their losses, and are also congregating around the Wastes, hoping to capture it. And in the middle of them all, the fabled Gyrotrope, rumored to be a powerful device. The faction which obtains it will definitely gain a big boost in their power.

The Gleemaxians chose to focus on finding the Gyrotrope, allowing GAMRA and the Church to duke it out, then strike when they are weakened. However, both GAMRA and the Church are also investing much of their resources in finding the Gyrotrope. Fortunately for GAMRA, General Filint (Niek) finds the Gyrotrope early in the battle with a stroke of good luck, and immediately activates it. The Gyrotrope doesn't fail GAMRA, as it infuses all of GAMRA's troops with newfound strength and vigor, as they now continue the battle against their enemies.

The Gleemaxians, however, did not give up, and with their superior forces, they managed to temporarily gain an upper hand over GAMRA, killing much of their troops, notably Conthus, who died squashed against a darksteel ship owned by Tyrantsbane. However, lady luck was not on Gleemax's side, and minutes before the battle ended, a new onslaught of backup troops descended onto the battlefield, led by Forgotten_Warrior, and with the Gyrotrope's magical effects, GAMRA managed to win over Gleemax in the final moments.

GAMRA has won.
Chapter VI: The Battle of the Tainted Ruins Show
Link

The Church, losing battle after battle, grows weak, its morale extremely low. And as Gleemax and GAMRA converge around the Ruins of the once glorious Church of Tranzoorder, it is either fight or die for the Church. And for Gleemax and GAMRA, it is another strategic area to their battle plans.

The Church troops easily got swamped by the two bigger forces, and it was mainly a fight between Gleemax and GAMRA. This time, GAMRA narrowly won again, but not before all sides looted the once-holy sanctum.
Chapter VII: The Jedi Praexum Conquest Show
Link

The Jedi Praexum - An isolated academy, yet one brimming with advanced technology and weaponry. As the battle rages on in the Tainted Ruins, a bigger fraction of the Three Armies congregate here, hoping to capture this technological haven for themselves.

The battle begins with a clashing of lightsabers, as the forces try to quickly overrun the Praexum. Soon, the Praexum defenders are all down, and the real battle begins - Between Gleemax and GAMRA. However, with GAMRA's slightly superior numbers, they once again achieve victory. This does not fare well for Gleemax, nor for the Church, which is nearly decimated.
Chapter VIII: The Siege of Tyrantsbane Show
Link

The Gleemaxians, defeated but still anxious for war, decides to attack the smaller faction of Tyrantsbane.

This battle, though, is different as the terrain allows Tyrantsbane to employ a new tactic of attacking through waves of troops. The first wave of Tyrantsbane pushes back the Gleemaxians, but Tyrantsbane grows weaker with each oncoming wave of forces, with the Gleemaxians never relenting, due to their large forces. Soon, Tyrantsbane is overwhelmed, and Gleemaxians claim victory.

Added Drachmian Wastes... FW turning the tide of war for GAMRA was epic.

Battles are not just up to me - They're up to everyone.

The General's name is Filint, not Flint. Everyone always forgets the first i...

Don't forget to include Conthus' death in the Boiling Seas battle.

Mind elaborating? I'll edit it in, but I don't want to trawl through the thread again...

When Bane was going godzilla on the GAMRAn ships, Conthus got swatted out of the sky and slammed against one of Tyrantsbane's darksteel-plated ships in the fight.
