RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017
The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.
If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.
To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.
I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.
I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.
I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.
I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.
Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.
Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

Martin: So, what do we do?
---
Dallas leaves for the shipyard, looking for a suitable boat to return to the Isle on, when suddenly a muscular arm juts from behind an alley and pulls him in. Dallas silently gasps.

Martin: Alright. I'm right behind you.
---
Dallas *thinking*: SOMEONE'S RIGHT BEHIND ME! I've got to act fast!
Lareneg, holding Dallas firmly by the back of his trenchcoat, grins menacingly at his prey. The grin doesn't last long as he is kicked in the crotch. He lets go, and Dallas whirls around to face his target.
Dallas: Oh, great. It's you. (OOC: Apparently they know each other.)

Martin accepts the clothes and changes.
---
Dallas: You've changed, General Lareneg. You used to be a man of honor.
The two men stand off mere feet from one another, arms outstretched. Dallas, a skinny man of about 5'10", is somewhat dwarfed by his 6'1" and muscular, heavy nemesis.
Lareneg: You haven't changed a bit, Mr. Onarevyl. Always were an idealist, always did question the Emperor's authority. And now I'm gonna snap your neck.
The two men lunge at one another.

The Lone Wanderer leads Martin to who-knows-where.
---
"Where's Martin?" Lareneg demands as he and Dallas exchange blows.
Lareneg boasts the strength advantage, but Dallas is much more agile. Both use theatricality and over-the-top fighting moves in an attempt to intimidate their opponent, only landing a few blows on one another.
Dallas: Out of your reach.
Lareneg: I can reach just fine.
He grabs Dallas by the neck and begins attempting to strangle him. His devilish grin returns.

Martin: I'm not sure what to think yet. All my life I lived in Baronsburg and the surrounding area as a part of Sea Land. Nearly everyone I met had fallen on hard times, or were out of work, or were sick. I lost my own parents to disease at a young age, and the chapel of Falsalm took care of me ever since.
The state of affairs now that the Acar run things is almost as it was under Fawsum's rule; most men are still in poverty and getting by is hard. But I have noticed one difference; in the UAC, there is hope.
---
Dallas (thinking): I hope I can make it out of this alive.
Dallas strains for air as Lareneg chokes the wind out of him.
Lareneg: So much for being the world's greatest secret age--
Suddenly Dallas is on the ground, breathing, as a shadowed figure puts the fearsome general in a stranglehold.

Tango? He's still in the city. We do have a bit of security going on, but only because we know we will be attacked later.
(OOC: I don't care. You can decide. Tango was a one time character, if you want you can have him)

Martin: That's a safe bet.
---
Tango: That's a safe bet.
He pulls out a knife and stabs Lareneg in the jugular. For a few seconds the opponent convulses, then falls into a heap on the ground, dead.
Dallas: Glad you just happened to stop by.
Tango: It wasn't a coincidence. I've been patrolling the alleyways and streets, looking for Sealandic infiltrators that might be after Martin. Lo and behold, I found you.
Tango looks at the dead body.
Tango: Can you believe that idiot Fawsum sent his best general after us?
Dallas (laughing, still a bit on edge): That wasn't his best.

Martin: A general attacked him, you say?
Then it's no mistake. The Emperor must know who I am.
---
Tango: Regardless, I think Fawsum has discovered his competition.
Dallas: Indeed. I must make haste for the Isle of Three.
Tango: You'll want the captain of the Hawk Centurion, then - he can be found at the docks. Good luck. And, um, when this is all over...do you think the League would be willing to take someone like me on in their security division?
Dallas: They took me. I'll put in a good word for you. Until next time, old friend. (OOC: Waitwaitwait since when do spies make friends?)
Dallas leaves to find the Hawk Centurion's captain and acquire passage to the Isle.

Martin remains with the Lone Wanderer in hiding, waiting for the world to change.
---
Dallas finds the Hawk Centurion and recognizes the captain; a boisterous, roguish female with a big grin on her face.
Dallas: Lucky! First Tango, now you? How'd you come across this here boat?
Lucky: Heya, Dallas! It's been awhil...hey, I think there's someone behind you.
Tango runs up to the ship, gasping for breath and waving the two down. Dallas is once again surprised.
Tango: Requested...leave...from the Acar...want to join you guys...
Lucky: Tango told me you were here, Dallas. Looks like our squad's back together again, just like old times!
Dallas: Only this time we don't serve a puppet Emperor. So, can you take me to the Isle of Three?
Lucky: You kiddin'? If that's where you're headed, we're going with you! All aboard!
Tango: Maybe Lucky and I can join the League!
Dallas: I'll see what I can do about that.
Everyone boards the ship (OOC: and its name is based on the Millennium Falcon, lol) and they begin casting off.
Dallas: Hey, where'd you even get this boat?
Lucky: She's NOT JUST A BOAT! She's the Hawk Centurion, fastest ship in the west. I, er, borrowed her after our last undercover operation; she used to belong to a group of terrorist pirates, and I modified her and fixed 'er up.
The three former superspies sail away for the Isle.

Sea Land
With part of Sealand taken by the UAC, the wanderer begins to plan his next move, planning to attack three cities, one of them being the sea-land capital, to try and give Martin Power over sea-land. He then finishes writing something and goes into a make-shift com. room, with the basics needed and a highly encrypted signal. He then tries to connect to the Isle, which due to it's nature doesn't work very well, it fails several times, before connecting to The Isle's Com. System and requests connection to the King himself(conversation between the two characters.)

The death toll in Northern Sea Land is catastrophic, but the lack of militia makes it easy for the UAC to conquer the whole of the nation before the Axis army returns.
All that remains is for the Acar to capture the capital in the heart of the nation, which has miraculously been untouched by the fires and waves.

All with the caption, "This is what your Emperor has done to you."

-smiles as I look at Martin- Martin, it is time. Lets take the capital. I am moved units to their positions, I will go and take the capital, and I will allow you to take control of all of sea-land. All that I ask is that we keep some land, until the war is over.
