I come from a far away plane, Shadow, dimension, universe, world, whatever your choice of words maybe. I was sent here, like the rest of us to suffer. To be humiliated and tortured, to lose my faith, or at least that is what they hoped. But I survived, I continue on, fighting with my allies against the Demons (for want of a better name) and the Forces of Light (for want of a better name). We are the Freelancers, The Flippsiders, The Mist Walkers, the Grey, Sliders, Anarchists. Clanless peasants and rebels who fight the Empire and the Barbarians. We live without allegiance, except to those we want to; without orders, except from those we trust. We are the ultimate definition of alone. Here we are outcasts, law breakers and abiders, the established and anti-established, Free thinkers, magicians, warriors, thieves, and spies. Here they hurt us, they bind us like animals, keep us from ourselves, there we are hunted, killed on sight, taken for "Re-Education" and made into cannon fodder.
Some of us are old soldiers who finally figured out the we were on the wrong side of the fight (But it felt good to win), some were born in the Mists (Or Hyperspace, the Astral Plane, etc.), some are just peasants and wanderers. But all of us are hunted. From the most powerful dragon to the lowliest vagabond, we are all targeted, we are all Lunchmeat (or as a good friend would say, "burnt toast"). There have been forces gathering for a while, but each time the enemy has destroyed or sent our ships running. Alone we are weak, and our petty differences are making us easy kills. It is time to put aside the old rivalries and face our enemies. I am calling a Gathering, I am requesting that Each and Every Freelancer comes to join with us. We must organize, we must become cohesive and resilient, for If we don't hang together, we will all surely hang separately.
A notice to all of the Tech Heads, *We Need You!!* We need all the tech we can get our hands on.
We have prepared, we are ready. The troops are armed, organized, and ready to blow holes in anything that may get in our way. The scouts are on their way, the Fleets are waiting, the City is black in preparation for the battles to come. Our Leaders have returned, bruised, battered, torn and in pain, but we will persevere. A notice to the Forces of Darkness and the Demon Slayers, I know you're watching, waiting, and by posting this site I have painted a Neon sign over my head that says "Come and get me!". So what? You can't scare me anymore, you're all dead in my eyes.
I know It's been a while, but the fight goes on. Using scouts, Hit-and-Run tactics, and subversion we are scratching away at them, a squad here, a Dragon there, occasionally even a Sky Ship... We are gaining powerful allies and want more ships of all kinds... Spell Jammers, Starships, creatures of the timeless Abyss, we call to you. We are also calling any Mist Walker who wants to fight the polarized powers, any Dream Dancers who wish to rid the Pools and Streams of those who would use them to conquer and kill. If you are a freelancer and have the will to fight, join us. We have the advantage of diversity, we have the advantage of castelessness and freedom from taboo. And most of all we have the advantage of surprise.
We implore the Neutral Kingdoms and Non-Aligned Worlds to help us. You're neutral and nonaligned for your freedom from the Powers, but if you deny us you may lose that freedom. Now maybe you're afraid of losing this war, and having your home fall to the powermoungers and your people enslaved, but if we fall anyways, there will be no help for you when the Powers decide to take out the remaining Freelance organizations. "We must all hang together, or surely we will all hang separately" -Benjamin Franklin. The easiest way for them to bring us down is Divide and Conquer, as we have few thing in common. Every Freelancer that quits, that decides this is a lost cause, is a victory for them.
We've
won some major victories, but the war is far from over, foe every one of
us, there are 1,000 of them. We need reinforcements and Tech Heads. as
well as Dreamers and Magicans. We Don't need to destroy the enemies,
just force them to discontinue hunting us down! Let them fight their little
war, we don't need their petty rivalries, we are free. We just want to
live without worrying if someone we never hurt is hunting us down. Wouldn't
you want the same for yourself? For your children, and the Children of
Time? To the Gods, I know that this "Little tussle" has divided you and
has been the source of much debate and betting, And we ask of you, help
us end this stupid dispute. To the Powers, I know you're reading this,
but if you want to be on the side of Right and Freedom cast off your bonds
and join us but be warned, We will find the impostors and floss with their
entrails.
