Who can guess my surprise? (OOC)

Okay, in my latest RP ( http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=135552&highlight= ) and in many unrelated threads I've made hints to a very neat surpise forthcoming in my current RP's. I have also made very generous use of the 'twisted' icon ( :twisted: ). From this it's pretty damn obvious that I've got something huge planned. But, before I pull it, I want to see what people think it is.

Whoever can guess my surpirse will not only receive much respect from me, he/she will also receive immunity from the surpise currently under discussion. I'll also throw in some cookies, since my respect isn't worth spit to some people and a lot of people really couldn't care less if I included them or not.

So, who has a guess?

The DRA has the Colossus? 8)

That wouldn't really be much of a surprise, since they're the only ones who possibly could have it. But nice try

I have a couple guesses.

A) The duke isn't really dead. (Unlikely but who knows.)

B) A great and sinister force is about to be unleashed on the universe. Possibly the worst since teletubbies.
Klonor
31-03-2004, 05:02
I don't see how even the Devil himself could surpass the Teletubbies

The Duke not being dead one is good, but it's been done to often (Remember Salm? And Jimathon? And a whole bunch of others)
Thunderstraat
31-03-2004, 05:02
That's fortunate... I had hoped that the first thing that sprunged into my mind wasn't it.

Jimathon killed the Duke?
Klonor
31-03-2004, 05:03
Shot him dead center in the forhead with a 44 Magnum

I bet something is going on behind the scenes. Inciting these smaller Klonorish states to kill each other. The organization that killed the Duke is probably behind it for whatever reason. Perhaps they want to reform the Klonor empire in their image, instead of the dukes.

The Duke has clone running around?
Klonor
31-03-2004, 15:36
Nah, the clone thing's been done to death, I've always felt that using a clone is nearing godmodding. It makes it so that you can always undo whatever's happened to you (You assassinated my President? Well, he has a clone! You blew up my army? I'll clone an entire new one! etc.)

I dunno, I was thinking about picking you off bit by bit now that your nation has basicly collapsed. :P j/k
31-03-2004, 15:42
there will suddenly arise a massivly powerful object..let's say a ring.. and the ring will need to be destroyed despite the massive forces arrayed against just such an occurance?

The gates of Hell open in Klonor and Satan's minions (some other nasty aliens) try to take over Klonor so everyone has to close the gate and destroy Klonor in the process?
Ermor
31-03-2004, 15:44
(OOC: Although Ermor couldn't be affected by your... Whatever surprise it is, I'll give it a shot.

I remember when you last time tried to turn "evil". Somehow I guess this has something to do with that. You'll turn against the people who're taking part in your current RPs about Klonor's fall! That's my guess!)

I wish, puppies have been extinct in Klonor for over a century

I'll give you all a hint, it has something to do with space ships.

um....Shivins?
Klonor

It's spelt Shivans, and no. I've already made like 5 Shivan Invasion threads and they all died rather quickly

Let me guess...A long-lost Klonor colony, formed by one of your "Nexus" destroyer/colonyships has been producing an unstopable fleet for months.

Or there is a secret Klonor society that has an immense fleet and will reunite the empire.
Klonor
31-03-2004, 21:34
I've already tried the going Medieval thing. It was fun, but nothing really great.

CF, that's not too far off.
Guanyu
01-04-2004, 00:45
How's this: A huge fleet was sent on an unknown mission by the duke some years ago and is just now returning, to the dismay of...well...everyone else?
01-04-2004, 05:07
Okay, I've got it: The Templars are back, they've taken control of Klonor's telluric currents and are threatening to destroy the world unless every first born male is buried alive, to everyone's suprise, the government was able to kill every first born male in Klonor without anyone noticing...but now the dead are hungry...(cue music).
Klonor
01-04-2004, 05:08
I'm not sure how to respond to that. I shall chose to say nothing, since I have no wish to be deleted. :wink:

that sounds eeraly similer to my Demon wars RP :shock:

Or even my own Enter the Darkness thread! :shock:

Let's see...Death Star-type battlestation has already been done (and defeated by Force-sensitive kids in snubfighters).

Said massive fleet tries to take on the smaller nations on NS.

Said massive fleet gets attacked by even more massive fleet.

Said massive fleet finds itself near a black hole and they all die. (I'm sadistic today, :twisted: )

Said massive fleet turns out to be nothing but a hoax made by bored kids with lots of money and nothing to do.

Am I even remotely close here? :lol:

A giant fleet of intergalactic death ships COMMANDED by a puppy.

(Also, did anyone else notice something strange about the title under our nation's names? Did I miss an update or something?)
Klonor
01-04-2004, 05:47
Yeah, what is up with those? I used to be a Post-Master General, now I'm "OMG WTF stop posting already!"

An ancient long-lost Klonor fleet has gone off and found some ancient alien power that will make Klonor even more powerful after they come back and reunify the empire? Or maybe something to do with the GA.
Klonor

Thunderstraat, you're so close.

You don't even want to know :twisted:
03-04-2004, 00:18
As long as it doesn't involve an evil alien race that could threaten civilization itself. I've already done that in A Scream in Space, A Dark Alliance, and A Scream in Space III - A Greater Threat.

An ancient long-lost Klonor fleet has gone off and found some ancient alien race that will make Klonor more powerful, and they come back and reunify the Empire, which will then begin to take over smaller nations, and eventually larger nations, until it takes over the galaxy, or fails miserably and the Klonor Empire is destroyed.
Klonor
03-04-2004, 00:23
Okay, another hint. Aliens (except those which are RP'd by NS nations) are not part of this.
Foe Hammer

A Klonor fleet has gone off and found some superior human nation that will make Klonor more powerful, and they come back and reunify the Empire, which will then begin to take over smaller nations, and eventually larger nations, until it takes over the galaxy, or fails miserably and the Klonor Empire is destroyed.

A massive civil war between the government, corrupted by a corporation, and rebels fighting - wait. That's been done by Steel Butterfly. I'm stumped. I can't think of a single original idea you can do.

You'll invade Nanakaland? I'd even help!

No, just kidding...

Through some intricate plot twists, you have found a kick-butt technology/ship/weapon/computer virus even more powerful than the Colossus that you can brag about?

So there is no puppy involved in any way?

Okay, possibly a rogue fleet comes to attack? Without aliens or puppies. And they're really powerful.
Central Facehuggeria
08-04-2004, 02:49
Perhaps Klonor isn't really a human civilization at all, and they are really an advanced alien species that appears to be human to fool us? Then throw in a super large/advanced fleet, and whamo. Instant surprise.

Or perhaps Klonor is going to start using Shivan ships?
08-04-2004, 03:01
My guess...

1) Stevolemue comes back from wherever he's been for so long and procedes to reunify the Empire under his horny, drunken name.

2) The Duke comes back and comes out of the closet. (We all know it has to happen someday.)
Klonor
08-04-2004, 03:07
Sadly, no puppy (against my better judgement).

Jim, that's actually a good idea (the Steve one). Not what I had planned for here, but I might bring it up later

Thank you.

Also, it would give me a reason to come back. I was already planning to when the servers got all upgradafied, but if I had a reason, I could come back sooner and remind all these kids what drunken, innuendo filled RPing is all about!

OOC: Okay, I really want to spring the trap sometime soon. So, here's the new set-up. This thread will stay open until 10:00 P.M. Eastern time (Where I live), at which time I shall reveal the "Surprise". There's a catch, you people need to post in the Regulus Invasion RP! That thread has died, and it was supposed to be a major thing (Like what the Epsilon Pegasi thread turned into). That was also going to be the location of the "Surprise." So, if that thread actually has somebody posting in it then expect the "Surprise" tonight at 10 o'clock.
