Ah, memories! Back when we thought Design-A-Troop was coming the first time, a few of us (remember this, @RiverSong?) thought we’d shoot for a daemon huntress style troop inspired by Emma Peel, the Diablo 3 Demon Hunter, Bayonetta, etc. The spells we proposed never quite made it to fruition, but the spirit of the troop idea was eventually added to the game in the form of:

We had a emo backstory all worked out for her, too, but unfortunately that never quite made it into the game lore…

Of course I remember. Where do you think @efh313 got his information? :smile:

To be fair, remove the “a” and Shakespeare has already written a pretty emo story about Desdemona! Defies her father, runs off with a black guy, is generally a good person, someone convinces her husband she’s cheating, he murders her, he then realises she was faithful and kills himself etc. etc. :roll_eyes:

TWO PARODIES IN ONE WEEK??? IMPOSSIBLE… :astonished:

And yet here we are… :smirk:

This a tribute to all the members of the Pharos Ra Support Group. And a song of sympathy for any sufferers of RNG. I hope you enjoy: It’s Still RNG to Me!!

LYRICS: It’s Still RNG to Me!

What’s the matter with the troops I’m using?
“Can’t you tell that they all are white?”
Maybe I should open gem chests, baby?
Get some troops to improve my fight.
Where are Mythics hidin’ out lately, honey?
You can’t build Meta till you spend a lot of money."
Everybody’s talkin’ 'bout their new troops
Funny, but it’s still RNG to me!

What’s the matter with the Teams I’m sporting?
“Can’t you tell that they’re out of style?”
If I could I get my hands on ANY Mythic?
Then my scores will improve a mile?
Nowadays you can’t be too temperamental,
‘Cause AI cascades sure don’t seem coincidental…
Dev’s say, No Way, promising it’s fair play,
It’s still RNG to me!

It doesn’t matter what they say in the forums,
'Cause it’s always been the same old scene.
There’s a new troop in town,
But you can’t post about how you’ll never get him on your team,
Or trolls’ll spam your thread with memes.

How about a brand new crafting system?
Well that sure sounds good at first glance!
"You could even craft a Pharos Ra
If you just give it half a chance.
Don’t waste your money on a new Daily Deal,
We all got suckered by the Soul Forge spiel!
Don’t blink, Soul sink, I think it stinks!
It’s still RNG to me!

Interlude

What’s the matter with the things I’m saying?
Do you think that I’m out of touch?
Should I try to get a poll uploaded?
If I did it would hurt too much.
Don’t you know about a better system honey?
Let us craft what we want and we’ll spend a lotta money."
Then Don’t blink, CASH sink, I think you’ll freak!
Remove RNG for me!

Everybody’s talkin’ 'bout the Soul Forge
Funny, but it’s still RNG to me!

A Nyx tune? Let me stew on it and see what happens! :thinking:

Thanks for getting involved @Jainus! I’ve always wanted this thread to be a two way street. The community has to help provide fodder! :rofl:

And thank you @collectorofgems for finding this old thread and giving it new life! :hugs:

Before Nyx hits the air waves, I am proud to share with you all my latest creation. This is a tribute to my new guild, a group of people that I am grateful to have in my life everyday. A parody of the Paul Simon classic, Slip Slidin’ Away, it tells the fictionalized story of how The Keep came to be. I hope you enjoy, Krystara’s Keepers!

Lyrics:
Krystara’s Keepers
Krystara’s Keepers
You’ll find you’ve found your destination
Once you join Krystara’s Keepers.

I know a man,
He came from Aussie town.
He wore his passion for Krystara
Like a thorny crown.
He said, Adventurers, I live in fear.
This evil horde’s so overpowering,
I’m afraid the Peace will disappear.”

Krystara’s Keepers
Krystara’s Keepers
You’ll find you’ve found your destination
Once you join Krystara’s Keepers.

I know Macawi.
She’s “generous.”
She saw Krystara had a need so she reached out to us.
She said “Eika
Vangor, and Ash;
C-O-G and 3-1-3 lets join forces
And kick evil ass!”

Krystara’s Keepers
Krystara’s Keepers
You’ll find you’ve found your destination
Once you join Krystara’s Keepers.

And I know that our Guild
will have fun,
We long to cherish every season
Once the job is done.
Our Discord server…
is hard to explain.
But anyone can come and visit us,
In the Keep, guests feel like their home again.

Krystara’s Keepers
Krystara’s Keepers
You’ll find you’ve found your destination
Once you join Krystara’s Keepers.

Gard only knows.
The Devs make their plan.
The information’s unavailable
To the mortal man.
You’re working your jobs,
Collect tribute pay.
Krystara’s safe, there is no Doomsday
Cause The Keepers keep evil at bay!

Krystara’s Keepers
Krystara’s Keepers
You’ll find you’ve found your destination
Once you join Krystara’s Keepers.
