Already did, I suppose you wouldn't be able to see given that I personally banned you from TGW's forums and Discord. But yeah I'm "back", which is why my name has been listed in these recent gloatposts.

Enter the army, full of brute and brawn,
those chest-beating beasts on the natives lawn
Waving their flag
while hoping to tag
These bastard bullying prawn are known as Darkspawn

Jab them with a fork, and cut my meal in two.
We eat the darkspawn, Ill share my plate with you.
Their full of salt.
By their own failing fault
But taste pretty good, Le Cordon Bleu.

Raiding's what they do, those big macho bros
Brawling for your region from their dark shadows
Wanting to be feared
All a little weird
Their all a bunch of bachelors who never got their rose

Marching up your driveway, littering your pavement
They want to defile you, your regions defacement
But with teeth all rotten
They'll soon be forgotten
Sent back to dwell in hell in their darkspawn mothers basement

There is a force much faster than Jeff Gordon
Slaughtering the darkspawn, In their neck I put my sword in.
There is this little urge,
to make a darkspawn purge,
Call me what you like, but I am a Grey Warden.

This region is dishonest. It pretends to be defender, but it raids. Such hypocrisy deserves condemnation from the WA. Unfortunately, it would not pass.

Midnight Magic: The DarkSpawn Collection

Postby Abraxim » Fri Jun 16, 2017 10:06 pm

Image

Midnight Magic:
Its full of memories and magic that lifts your soul. Its an unbelievable time of sights and sounds full of music and moves made by legendary nations, great groups, pop superstars and disgusting darkspawn. Yes, It is the best of the absolute best that filled the forums.

By Time Life

Image


Hi,

I'm Abraxim, member of The Grey Wardens and famed darkspawn slayer. Join me on a journey through time as we explore the great musical masterpieces of our DarkSpawn brethren. Also known as the common invader.

Of course we all know that Darkspawn come in many forms, from The Black Hawks, to The Invaders, various Nazi groups, and that region that puts up colorful world factbook entries that noone seems to remember. Their perverse gameplay is reflected in this classic song of theirs:

Rainbow of Fears

Oh I-I-I-I will always invade you-u-u
Yes it's true


But, the dilusion of their music doesn't stop there. Who can forget this classic?

Doin' It
I just keep doin' it, doin' it, every night
I'm not a big bully but I love to fight
Yeah, I keep doin' it, doin' it, every night
Even though I know the Fendas are right.


As we explore their hell through their music please take in the aura of defeat the darkspawn regularly sing about. These are some of their timeless defeat songs from a simpler time.

I Lost My Way

Oh, oh,
I Lost my wayyy
Oh I lost my wayyy
For I am a rai-der
With very bad gaaaame play
Yes, I lost my wayyy
Fendas beat me todayyy.

Mercy

Oh, we ask the Lord to have mercy,
Have Mercy on me
Because the wardens just-now defeated me
have mercy on me
A wasted update that all can see
How on earth can all this be?
Yes we ask the Lord to have mercy,
Have mercy on me.
Oh, we ask the Lord to have mercy,
Have Mercy on me.


That tune really moves me. Yes, it in capsules the classical sadness of a typical raider defeat. Of course, not all songs that the DarkSpawn sing were about their defeat. Some expressed unrealistic desires of ego and fame:

The Best

I am the Best,
I am the Best,
I'm undefeated
I am the best,
I got nothing,
To prove the claim
That I'm the best,
So f*** the rest.


We Be Raidin'

Fire burnin', raidin', taggin',
Region movin', delegate takin',
Army buildin', region snaggin'
Jump on board the raidin' wagon
.


Oh wow, that last one. Great song. It was so psychodelic. Everyone would jump on the dancefloor to that one while the groove reminded us of just how much drugs it takes to think that raiding is cool.

My friends, this was music that gives us nostalgic feelings of the update hour. The corrupt DarkSpawn mentality is encapsulated in sound. A combination of Rhythm and Romance like we had never heard before. This music is fun and exciting, it had a simple groove, catchy melodies, and fantasticly made by wacked out artists and wanna be rulers. In this collection, we celebrate the great music of the DarkSpawn and the impact it has on our lives.

Don't worry, this music is so good, it will bring out all the best memories, controversies and excitement. Let me proudly present:

Time Life
MIDNIGHT MAGIC
THE DARKSPAWN COLLECTION


Image



Listen to all the sounds of the Darkspawn in this dynamite collection. Masterfully and painstakingly compiled into one box set, the Midnight Magic, The DarkSpawn Collection is your source for the sounds and excitement of the regular raiding failures and self loathing musical wonders.

You could spend hours of time and hundreds of dollars gathering all these great hits, but I have put them together into one amazing set.

But wait! When you listen to this amazing compilation of songs, you will feel the excitement from a time when the Darkspawn thought they were cool, clever, and confident yet hopelessly convoluted.

What a great conversation piece this will be to all your friends! This is a total of 1,600 great hits from the biggest and the best generation of raider failure power trippers ever. Remember, if Midnight Magic, The DarkSpawn Collection is not the best collection of music from this era ever, you can always throw it away like a raiders NS career. This special collection is not sold in stores so get it here now. Remember, music just makes everything better and this collection does just that.

This was an incredible, incredible update. I could say positive things about everybody participating, but I do want to give a few special shout-outs. To Shizensky for having the foresight to call for a split early, and to Red Dusk for very quickly and without complications implementing it. To the SPSF #FastFendaGurl dream team of Escade and Elerivyn for holding an incredible amount of weight despite both being relatively new to chasing, putting many more senior gameplayers to shame. To Abraxim, for a beautiful update report that can only be described as "peak Warden". To Altmoras for being an incredible fastboi, scoring 6 1s chase moves despite just recently having unretired - and the other fastbois and fastgurls as well, many of whom also scored one or more 1s chase moves today.

To everybody that participated today or participated on other days, in the wonderful place known as Libcord. The incredible community, comradery, engagement, and sportsmanship found in Libcord is unmatched, and I consider myself lucky to be a part of it.

It's a great time to be a defender.

I'm pretty sure "To Protect and Serve" is used by numerous police departments, including large ones such as the LAPD.

I personally think it sounds better flow-wise than Serve and Protect :P

It's epic when we have something to focus on. When we're sitting around waiting then the LibCord discussions get a bit weird.
