Propaganda for everyone! https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=51236.msg1098304#msg1098304
« on: September 21, 2013, 01:41:25 am »
I was asked not too long ago to write propaganda for :darkness which I did with pleasure. Only later an idea hit me: what if I wrote propaganda for everyone? Would it not be fun to be the master of propaganda, not much different from a spider sitting in the middle of its web, waiting for prey? The idea had something to it and I got really interested. And here I am, writing to you fellow participants of a war which I will not take part in and offer you poetry to hopefully match your unmatched capabilities at waging war!

Please note: I will not release anything here without the definite support of the respective element's general. If you want the propaganda I wrote, drop a message into my inbox or simply ask here. I'll submit it to this area of the forum then. I will not spoil anyone's fun by simply releasing it here, though!

DONE:  :darkness :light :fire :gravity :death :time
TODO:  :entropy :earth :life :water :air :aether



:darkness
:darkness :darkness :darkness Speech for darkness: :darkness :darkness :darkness

"A looming moon shines its fearsome light over this lifeless land,

Casting lurking shadows on creatures that are our demand.

Oh, master of light, how dare you reach out for eternal life with your hand;

What once came to life once has to perish, that's the law of the land!



You will note what creatures are under our command,

When fleeting spectres will feast on your land.

And once all this ungodly work is set and done,

The devil will once again accept me - as his favourite son."



:time
:time :time :time Speech for Time: :time :time :time

The Ravages of Time never cease to do what they must,

Ageing and changing, degrading from clay to dust.

So how do you expect to win if Time is taking a toll?

Your armies will crumble and stumble, withering as a whole.



What power could dare defy the Lords of Time?

What proof do you need to see that we are sublime?

Your life is but a candle that your parents lit,

Time's taking a deep breath, exhales and that's it.



:gravity
:gravity :gravity :gravity Speech for Gravity :gravity :gravity :gravity

You want to battle what you cannot understand?

Even Titans tell the story of Gravity's reign!

It was given to this world on God's demand,

An idea so complex yet so incredibly mundane.



Gravity is the only force able to bend Light and even Time.

We march as black holes block out your precious sun.

Your forces stand no chance as they get pulled into the grime,

And after this mere carnage, Gravity will never be outdone.



:fire
:fire :fire :fire Speech for Fire :fire :fire :fire

No creature can withstand the searing flames we spit,

Liquid fire will forever shroud your days,

Beware for you can not escape, have no craze!

The day we emerge from our castles will be your obit.



Try to fight fire with fire, but you will ablaze,

A soul that died in vain, mind adust.

Oh, such lunacy fills us with disgust.

We will defeat you with inferno's grace.



:light
:light :light :light Speech for Light :light :light :light

Clouds open wide as an angelic horde descends from the sky,

They rain down on ungodly creatures like a rising tide.

Many a demon falls adust as they hear our fierce battle cry,

And finally it will be the Forces of Light that preside.



Try to hide but you have nowhere to flee,

But there is no shelter for one who does not believe.

Try to flee, but there is no hope for the unfree.

Try to hide but it is the 'revealing light' that you try to deceive.



:death
:death :death :death Speech for Death :death :death :death

Hushed, hushed, a distant voice is singing a strange melody;

The Banshees are singing their saddening ballade.

No mortal man could hope to escape their ghastly legacy,

And no audience will live on to applaud.



The Crimson King will descend from his throne,

To reap through a thousand souls under a harvest moon.

We are slowly seeping into your wells, to you unbekown,

Empoisoning the ground, marking your cities with – Death's Rune.

I believe a large part of being a Master is having a vision for your Element and being inspired by it. This in turn inspires new champions of that Element, and therein lies an incredible power to shape the future of it. Any Master who can't even write a rousing speech about their Element or the anticipation of War and teamwork and all the exciting things (or hell, even a not-so-funny skit/comic/anything) will be regarded as some kind of useless zombie by me.

And others.

Shame on you.

That said, cool idea, ArtCrusade. I certainly don't mind seeing more perspectives on what Elements stand for, and there's no fault in posting someone else's work -in addition to- your own.

I agree with your thoughts Higs, but I do not think a Master have to possess the writing skill. The language barrier also plays a role here - you cannot expect all masters to be able to make a great speech about their element. To use myself as an example here: I think I could make a so-so speech in my native language, but writing has never really been my thing. To add on that, it wouldn't be half as good in English. Therefore I might need help from my teammates.


I think the idea is cool - keep it up! :)

Inspiration allows you to get through to your audience with passion, not skill. It's obvious you possess enough to both make a point and add flavour to it too. Every single Master has so far. So many simply squander their opportunity, be it because of laziness, inability to see it or lack of confidence. I will always expect more, because that's how we aspire to greatness.

@Higs: I can totally understand what you mean but a speech in English isn't my strength. I became Master of Darkness to do some PvP thats why I never got the most votes in Trials during phase 3. But thats an other story. Btw. I am uncreative and lazy  :P

ArtCrusade did a great work! I am more than satisfied.

What's a leader when you break it down to semantics? He is someone who guides, who is in charge of a political party or an organisation. Even the biggest of all leaders in history have depended on small men to do part of their job. That is why I believe that it is okay for everyone to use someone else's words as long as it is a heart-felt subject and not born out of lazyness. Leader's have to do a lot of things, but being master of everything is not on the list!

I will simply add the speeches I already wrote to the first post now. Having more than just one opinion always helps!

That's why War is a team event. Being inspired enough by the very Element you represent that you can at least tell the world what it means to you? Takes no skill. No need to be a master of everything or even writing. Knowing how is enough to speak your heart.

Thank you for the honesty, Odii. You have integrity :>
I knew before I even ran for MoA that many Masters are only in it for the PvP, whether it's for fun or glory. I do not condemn either of those reasons. I only expect more because we have a truly unique opportunity to do so much. If no one expects, the chance for greatness is rather low.

These were pretty fun to read; I could hear them all differently in my head. But to me, the one for Fire just seems awkward(-ly phrased). I like the Time one the best though.
