Cysero's Defenders are having their third anniversay today and I just wanted to give a huge shout out to Anoril and the other loyal Defenders.

Who Are the Cysero's Defenders, you ask? Let's review shall we?

Here is a quick history lesson for you: This was the post found on the design notes on June 22nd, 2006.

Problem at Cysero's DragonCoin shop?
Our community is insane. 'Nuff said.

Buffing up the Warrior and Rogues!
It looks like the bug fixes went smoothly, but by fixing a few bugs in the Warrior and Rogue they got weaker. Instead of weakening the Mage to even them out... *glance*.... we are going to make combos like the multi-strike and rapid-strike work off of any "attack"! So you can use any attack for your opening move, then unleash your combo.

More Rogue fixes : We are going to double the damage of the Rogues throwing technique (wild daggers) so it is on par with the Warrior and Mage. Also sneak attack is going to be fixed so that it does both attacks instead of the single one it is doing now.

You see, I was having fun with the players back when my shop was stationary and they defided to revolt against my DC pricetags. A few of the players, banded together and started a small rebellion and Artix and I thought it was so great that we placed them INSIDE my shop, having taken over completely.

Eventually Anoril and some other forumites decided that anyone who could take a rebellion with a sense of humor deserved defending rather than rebelling against. A counter-rebellion had begun.

It was a LOT of fun but the havock is wreaked on the forums resulted in the No Rebellion rule which is still in effect. it is a bannable offense.

Let's jump ahead 1 year.

Baby Dragon Feeding and The Official Punt Twilly Minigame!

UPDATE: The Baby Dragons have woken up! They are hungry and need you to teach them, so go see Lady Celestia in Sunbreeze Grove today and give them something to chew on, besides Twilly.

This and MechQuest news + Answers to Oishii's final exam coming soon..... *whispers* You Dragons are going to be SCARY powerful over time as you feed them. I was actually intimidated looking at the spreadsheet Zhoom and Cysero made on Baby Dragon skills.

"That's no castle... it's a Space Station!"
According to Anoril (Who, as one of Cysero's Defenders, I am obligated to trust with my life... or else he will kill me) today is the 1 year anniversary of the so-called "Great Cysero Rebellion" . For those of you who weren'r around let me recount the tale, in all of its glory.

There I was in my shop...
When suddenly the door was blown open and the hallway became a storm of laser fire between my shops loyalists and the invading rebels. After the firefight Lord Asparagus entered my shop and lifted one of the loyalists by his neck.

"What have you done with those plans?" He demanded.

"We intercepted no transmissions. Aaah....This is a Dragon Coin shop. Were on a diplomatic mission." Answered the loyalist with his last breath.

"If this is a Dragon Coin shop...were is the proprietor?" Asked Lord Asparagus, and tossed the loyalist aside like a rag doll.

I knew that it wouldn't be long until they found me, so I placed the plans into the memory banks of one of my orbs. I placed the orb in one of the escape pods. I sent it to find Lady Celestia, she was my only hope.

Shortly thereafter I was taken prisoner and held captive until Artix, Zhoom and Twilly, and Lady Celestia snuck into and freed me from the Deathst... a big castle. That's how I remember it anyway.

So that is the tale. Sort of. Maybe last year's DNs post will shed some light on things.

Nope, we were right in the middle of a war, racing you guys to the finish to see if we could get the end of the war done before you finished it so there WAS no entry last year. Yeesh.

I guess you're just going to have to look it up on the DFPedia or join Anoril for his yearly retelling of the saga on the CyDef forums if you want the whole story.

Let's talk about this week's release. We're short on animators this week. Tomix is MIA for a few days and poor Ghost (who is getting faster and faster at making his amazing cutscenes) is nothing more than a frazzled stump of an animator and we need gi give him a week to recharge his ghostly power cells. THIS week we've got another Pen pal quest in Popsprocket and the PockSprocket Titan Battle!

One of the players wrote me and actually guessed what the titan battle would be, which surprised me as much as it will hopefully surprise you!

Happy Birthday CyDef!
