Time Line

Um, no we didn't. All I did was tell you that there was no Ditto Town until after the elves settled on Dittopia. You said something about Ditto Village, but we were in the chat room at the time and I wasn't paying very close attention. I know for certain we never discussed anything about an established bunch of humans living on Dittopia around the time of the TL/R war. I believe I may have suggested there could be refugees on the planet, but never said there was a stable population of them.

I'm sorry to see you going again, Zach. It's been awesome RPing with you again, but I can understand why you're leaving. Ditto Town can take up a huge amount of time.

Time Line
So... What... Now... I don't think you ever said anything about refuges on the planet... All I know is that you said there could be humans living on the planet... I expanded within the bounds of history, I made sure that little of the population survived the R/TL war and civil war. Therfor did not mess up the founding of ditto town thingy...

Time Line

While we're on the subject of early Dittopian history, I glanced at the profile for David Benedict and according to it, he's a member of a royal family. We've never had royalty running things in Ditto Town before and I really dislike the idea. Where exactly were you going with this?

History, time line, David Benedict or whatever we feel like talking about thingy
No where, the royalty ended with the civil war... David has no clue about this little fact. It will never come up in David's time or for thousands of year's and even if he did know he would reject the post... It's how the Benedicts are.

Timeline
Yikes, I didn't realize I would open a huge can of worms with that edit. The only reason I put the Vortex where I did was because of what I read in Crisis. It was said that they had been in hibernation for about 6,000 years, IIRC, so according to the math, that puts them at 4500 BES. I haven't gotten to the point in the story that explains how they were put into hibernation yet, so I didn't know it was the Elves. If I had, I wouldn't have even bothered putting it in the timelines because of the contradiction. Now I wish I hadn't anyway. I think I'll remove it until this all gets sorted out.

Farewell Zlcva!

Thanks for all you've done for Ditto Town! It's odd to see you go since we started joining the rplays at about the same time back when the Ditto Town residents just wandered around the Fountain and your Autobots made their first appearance. I know you're doing the right thing by straightening out your priorities and hope you'll be able to continue to enjoy DT as a fond memory. God bless!

Long live the Fountain Fellowship!

We'll Miss You, Zack!

You are an awesome writer. I've enjoyed interacting with you characters and seeing your stories take shape. I really do understand your decision though. Family and real life come first. Ditto Town has a habit of sucking you in with all of its interesting plots.

I hope we'll keep in touch through facebook! Have an awesome life.

Timeline

Actually, the vortex species put themselves into "permanent" hibernation to avoid more bloodshed of their species and the elves species. There was a BAD leader Vortex that instigated the Vortex/Elf war. The war was over the Magnecrystal. The Vortex wanted it, the elves wouldn't give it to them. It was a really bloody, messed up, pretty pointless war and a group of vortex overthrew the bad "hive mind" Vortex (the leader) and a GOOD leader Vortex was appointed.

He tried to make peace with the elves, but there had been fake peace offers before and the elves didn't trust the vortex species. So to avoid further bloodshed the new leader Vortex used his hive mind capabilities to put the entire species into a permanent hibernation.

But the hibernation wasn't so permanent because the Vortex missed one of the species. So slowly, over time, this Vortex usurped the power of the old leader vortex (which killed the hibernating old leader Vortex) and awoke the species from hibernation. Then the new leader Vortex (bad again) called out to the crystal and woke IT up. The elves had lost it, but when the crystal awoke they found it again.

Hence, Crisis in the Snow

It doesn't matter how long they were hibernating, if that helps at all. Just for a thousand years at least, til everyone forgot about them.

Timeline

I realized with my edit that I missed something, as Booky pointed out--I put the Time Lords AFTER the elves, which directly contradicts the text of my note. So, anyway, it should look like this:

Ancient Era
Due to sparsity of reliable records, the details of the Ancient Era are conjectural.
Date Unknown
The Fountain is built by an unknown entity/entities in the middle of the ancient landscape before any known sentient lifeform inhabited Dittotopia.
c. 2500 BES
Time Lords settle Dittotopia and construct an underground city.
c. 1000 - 500 BES
300-year Time Lord-Rakatan War.
Time Lords and Rakatans are wiped out, along with every other advanced civilization in the Ditto Galaxy.
After Elven Settlement
0 AES
The Elves appear on Dittotopia and begin to settle the planet.
c. 4500 BES
The Vortex Hive is placed in hibernation on the northern mountains.
c.500 BES
Human Civil War (a.k.a. The Aftermath)
182 AES
Ditto Town founded by humans from the planet Columbia

To answer your question, NN, the timeline has had the era of the Time Lords, then the era of the Elves, and finally the era of Men. There were no men on Dittotopia point blank in the earlier ages. Even once they showed up, they wouldn't have known about the elves, anyway, because the elves were very reclusive. Even in SO (510 AES), only five elves are seen, and one of them only by the three younger Jedi (Astri, Emere and Sholi), and none of them really mentions that there actually is a settlement, so this wouldn't mess up your story at all. The elves don't really become obvious as a settlement until the mid to late 1400 AES.

Hope that clears some things up,

Amë

Time Line

Ooooh okay, Lady A. Yeah, that clears a lot up. The Human Civil War and the Vortex needs to be edited to be "AES" instead of "BES" though.

Also, it makes no sense for the Human Civil War to be so much earlier than when Ditto Town was founded, especially if, as NN said, they met up with the Columbians.

I would say The Aftermath should take place only a decade or so before the Columbians.

P.S."Brooklyn!"

Crisis and TWBTS

* rattles the cages *

Don't make me start PMing you.

Timeline

Alright...I suppose I'll make date adjustments, and then post it for opinions. Don't have time to do it right now, though. :/

Hello all, I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in doing this role-play called The Lost Palantiri. This tells of a quest to find and recover the lost Palantirs. This is in Middle-Earth. Anyone up for it?

Never mind. Everyone ignore this.

Crisis

Hey, I posted What else am I supposed to do?

Crisis

Are you guys waiting on me? I'm not sure what to post at this point. Tyris won't have much to contribute, since he's being held against his will. And Auron . . . well, yeah . . .

Crisis

Alas, poor Auron. We never did really get to know him.

Crisis etc.

*Was not aware that she was in a cage*

Is this the part where I implement my...er...watery plan?
