New and Revised History of GoW

[Master Zen]

Once we're done with this game, I think I'm going to spend some time making a homenage site to our beloved empire. Some of the things I'd like to include are a detailed history of GoW, a collection of all the literature we've written (The Trappings of War, the Glory of News, stuff from the other teams etc.), pictures, etc.

To start I'm trying to make a timeline of all the important events in the past. I've been surfing through the old threads from both our private forum as well that the public forum, alas, there are many events, mostly those in the ancient era which are poorly documented.

This is the best I could do today, if any of you knows when some of the missing data happened, please add it. If I am missing any other major event, please add it also

[Hot_Enamel]

Temp list of amusing things I can remember

Emperor for a Day... Mad King Donegal invades ND with a warrior.

Diplomatic row with RP over our scouting warrior

[Master Zen]

If you can find the dates for those, that'd be great

[UnOrthOdOx]

Oh come on, the Butcher of Bilbao...when did I decimate that sucker?

Probably 30 AD, actually, when we declared war.

~90 BC the NAP signed with GS.

[Donegeal]

Mad King Donegeal took place shortly after Lux murched into our border.

The Writting incident. Took place while still exploring Bob. It was the single biggest reason we teamed up with ND to take out RP.

The treaty of 1075 was the formation of B.O.B. (Brotherhood Of Bob/Borconia).

[Master Zen]

One more thing. We need an anthem. A good one, real bombastic, praising our glorius victories in all our wars.

UnO?

[UnOrthOdOx]

Ok...

I'm thinking, perhaps, to the tune of battle hymn of the republic?

"Mine eyes have seen the Glory of the coming of the war.."

etc...

"The Battle Hymn Of GoW"

Mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the coming of the War
They are trampling out the Spanish
Where the squid were ate before
They hath loosed the fateful lightning
Of the Riders seeking gore
Glory of War is marching on

[Chorus]
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!
Glory of War is marching on

In the isle of the Legos
They took the fight across the sea
With a swiftness and a fury
That did change the world to be
As the smoke was barely clearing
They let loose the nukes with glee
Glory of War is marching on

[Chorus]

[Master Zen]

hahaha great

perhaps a 3rd paragraph with a sort of "conclusion"?

[Jon Shafer]

I must say, that blue text looks mighty funky against a black background...

[Master Zen]

be a man and use the regular gray skin

Btw, Trip, if you have anything to add regarding Lux to the timeline, be my guest

[UnOrthOdOx]

"The Battle Hymn Of GoW"

Mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the coming of the War
They are trampling out the Spanish
Where the squid were ate before
They hath loosed the fateful lightning
Of the Riders seeking gore
Glory of War is marching on

[Chorus]
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!
Glory of War is marching on

In the isle of the Legos
They took the fight across the sea
With a swiftness and a fury
That did change the world to be
As the smoke was barely clearing
They let loose the nukes with glee
Glory of War is marching on

[Chorus]

In the keeping of their promise
to let the Voxians be free
They have returned them to their
homeland where they should rightly be
Then sweep on through stormia
with their eternal friends ND
Glory of War is Marching on

[Master Zen]

I officially declare that to be the Imperial Anthem of The Glory of Warâ„¢

Proposal for Official GoW Flag

Symbolism: The crest is our official shield, the black symbolizes our national color, and the yellowish lining symbolizes our alliance with ND (though the color is actually GoW Crown Yellow, not ND Yellow).

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

110 AD - GhengisFarb Temprorary Emperor

Should be GhengisFarb Loyalists temporarily reclaim throne from Blockheads.
