So, what do we want this to be. I think we should only start with v10, and just keep those simple since they're long gone, then do something special for this upcoming age. I've got a small example of what it could be here. But we could also do more with it if we wanted to make each age more special. Here's a couple of the thoughts and ideas we had in game. 1. First thing's first. What should we call it? Chronicle of Ages ok? Or something else? 2. What should we call each age as they're listed on the wiki? Should we just call them 'Version XX'? Or maybe at the end of each age, have a vote to give it a name, like Age of Legends, or Age of Heroes etc? 3. Another idea was for some kind of End of Age awards that we can nominate at the end of the age and vote on as a community. (Again, what should we call these?) So far, we've had several ideas for what we could do here. - Most Feared Duelist
- Funniest moment on TAR
- Best Clan Battle
- Best Avatar
- Most Community Driven
- Master Mentor
- Swami of Subterfuge
- Guru of Greed
- Collossus of Chaos and Conflict
- Warrior of the Light
- Agent of Shadow
- Biggest Horde Whore
- Slayer of Armies
- Bastion of the Light
- Cauldron of Chaos
- Kicker of Shins
- Tournament Champion
- Supreme Overlord of Titles
Anyway, just throwing this up to keep the conversation going. Thoughts, ideas, comments, changes?

High Roller is already the title for Gambling earnings. Tournament one is good. Though we only had one of them last age. And only one person signed up for it.

Awesome ideas! Of course, I would almost always win the best avatar and the DO would always win the lowest level beating the highest, by default. That is, unless the Creator decided to level up a bit

Ha! I was thinking more along the lines of non-immortal characters being the only ones valid for these awards.
So, I haven't really worked on any of this for a few days. Been thinking about it a lot though. Couple thoughts I've had:
1. To make the titles section less long, I'm thinking we only need to have the top 3 of each title, instead of the top five. I'm thinking there might be a better way to do that section all together so it's better formatted. It'll just end up looking like a big old list as it is now. :/
2. Instead of just, "Version 10-12" for the names, I think we could retroactively give them an (un)official name.
Couple suggestions for each:
V10 was the first time we had large alliances, and the first age we had a Last Battle. So, we could go with Age of Alliances, or First Age of the Light, since they won, (there wasn't really a shadow presence to contest that though...) or Age of the Grand Alliance, since that was the name of the alliance that ended up ruling while the others crumbled. It was also the first age where we didn't have just a couple large clans ruling the world. There were something like 7-8 clans that actually had control of a City, where previously, it was more like 4-5 clans by the end of the age. Keep in mind we only had 18 cities back then too, so it was rather impressive.
V11 most of us were there for that. The most intense age ever for sure. First time we had a true contest between Light and Shadow. So obviously it would be appropriate to name it the Age of Shadow, since they kicked the Light's butt. Others options: War of Light and Shadow, War of Power, Rise of the Shadow.
V12 is tough. Nothing really stands out for that. Fall of the Shadow? Second Age of Light, Light Reborn? Or, since so many of us had major problems in RL, The Age of Real Life Suckitude. Or Real Life Strikes Back?
Or we could just stick with Version 10, Version 11 and Version 12. Yippy.
3. I was also thinking of another section for a sort of "pre-history" area. Since we don't really have access to ages before 10, and there wasn't even an official end of the age back then, I was thinking more like an area for Gleeman's tales or something. Where anyone who want's to can add their favorite memories. I'm afraid that would just end up being me though, so instead I could just add a sort of Timeline or something and record some the major stuff like the rise of SL, the two World Wars and SL's conquering of the WHOLE world, the rise of the Collective etc. And other stuff like that. But I wasn't here for v1-3, so maybe just fill in stuff with what Tim added or changed each age and stuff like that.
I don't know. Just some Late night ramblings, when I could have just worked on it instead.

What about a combination?
Chapter 10 - An Age of Light Chapter 11 - Rise of the Shadow Chapter 12 - The Light Prevails Despite (or because of, depending on which side you were on) RL Suckiness

Chapter 10 - An Age of LightFinally completed that one. What do you all think? Should we keep it like that, or do anything different? Missing anything cool etc? Couple of my thoughts: I could break the Titles section up into smaller sections so it's easier to jump to the one you want. It makes the Table of Contents longer though, which isn't a bad thing. I kinda want to move the High Lords and Ladies section above the titles, just so they don't get lost down there at the bottom. I'll try to do more tomorrow.

Supreme Overlord of Achievements... Ok, that one is purely an attempt at self glorification since I spent the last age (and most of the one prior) getting beaten up by some crazed chick!

I thought the 'leaderboard' stats were frozen at the end of the age? Some of the natiolity top experience listings are above the Hero of the Horn values, so those at least might not be end of age accurate perhaps?

Hmm. Some of the names were unfamiliar. Guess we should look into that.
