The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Tarrax moved around in his seat, or as much as that small stool would allow. he Looked Around the Resteraunt his eyes sweeping over a huge area in a glance.
'So" He Said softly. "Please resume what yiou were discussing before I Joined you"
 Dirah Looked at Wayne , Eva  and the others. "We We just discussing Wayne. he's done really well." Tarrax looked at Wayne and said  "Considering that my master is a good friend of his, it shouldn't be a surprise that he's done well. he is , after all an Nostralus"

'What's - um- that?' Dirah asked. Tarrax looked at her. "It is dragon-tongue. It literally means elite, but it is usually translated as nobility. I know this because I too am of the Nostralus. So are you for that matter Dirah. " Dirah nodded. 'Um Tarrax, what would happen if you faced Wayne in a duel?" Tarrax looked at her closely, and she shuddered. "Why do you ask such a silly question Dirah? The odds of that happening are extremely remote, the only way I would face him in a duel is if he were dueling my master. And we all know how that would turn out. Wayne is indeed a very skilled duelist, but he is not in my master's league. I Say this with no disrespect intended to him, indeed quite the reverse. after all, he is a fellow Nostralus, my equal. The Orb has no doubt revealed to you one big perk of being a Nostralus: No dragon played against you in a duel will harm you"

Stripetail took a seat in between Tarrrax and Dirah. "Is Everyone just ordering? I'll wait, I'll need a moment to decide."

Stripetail looked at her in disbelief. 'SO!?b Dirah, don't you understand? that's greaat news! Aestorica will be habitable much sooner than previuosly thought! Now I'm not going to name names, But I have word from a very reliable source that there are areas on the planet that are being detoxified much quicker than that, indeed one place will be radiation free in less than half a million years!" Dirah eyes grew wide. 'How/ No mortal creature , or even an immortal creature could step foot on that planet?" Stripetail broke into a broad grin as the others looked at him.

'the deceased of Aestorica" STripetail said, and there was complete silence. Tarrax was smiling, Tircai 's eyes were huge in his head. All the others had thier mouths hanging open.
_
You-- mean, you've been using GHOSTS?' Dirah stopped abrupty as Stripetail held up his paw. 'Let me explain. "You are right, no mortal creature could set foot on Aestorica right now, the radiation would kill them almost instantly. Even, immortals like myself, could only stasy a few hours tops. But, the radiation does not affect those who are already dead. So What I Did was to raise the sprits of both Aestoricans and Dinotons. You see, the dead have special powers of thier own. Once they landed on Aestotica, they immediately went to the most powerful mmagical locations, like Sowarkard or my castle, where it would be easier to weaken the radiation. But they have been successful even beyond my wildest dreams""

I Know,but they will be able to make Aestorica habitable again, or most of it. Tens of THousands of ghosts have been working for weeks and months to reduce the radistion. They are also aiding the planet's natural radiation absorbing abilities.All planets of course naturally produce radiation, and Aestorica is no exception. It then makes sense that planets can absorb radiation.Indeed the planet has proven to be very absorbant, or so the spirits have told me. They by themselves cannot eliminate all the radiation, this is true. but they have been able to dilute it. First , by activating the powers of these select areas.  Sowarkard is home to many ancient magics, which protect the abbey and the surrounding area. these have acted to limit the potency and durability of the raduiation, in that area. my Source tells me the radiation in that area is now down to about 450000 years duration, and the ghost expect the radiation to completely vanish over the next year to eighteen months. So, in other words, Sowarkard will be safe to live in again, but only that particular area. My Castle is another good spot, the radiation there will be gone in 3 years, maybe even 2. but the rest of the planet of course will remain unlivable for centuries, for mortals at least. I'll be able to travel around the planet, but i Won't be able to stay in these areas for long periods," stripetail said.

"Thats good news" Wayne replied "So your people will be able to go back in about 500 years max but that till then they can stay on Earth 51 at the lands we given till then" Wayne said to Stripetail. "Wouldn't like to ruin the suprise what the Dinotons, humans and rainbow faces been doing at the lands we given. they been working around the clock to build up villages, towns and cities for your people." Wayne said and looked at Riprap.

"Oh right..." Riprap said taking out a small ball it turns into a flat screened device he hands it to Stripetail and starts to show pictures of the work they done on the planet surface and the main city that was built having a large tower in the middle that had a round base and get smaller going up and at the top a large ringed like part connected but near this city was a castle that looked very much like Stripetail's

"We manged to use drones to take pictures of all your castle so we re created a double of it near the captail city we built. When you go down there to check I hope it would do for a time being" Riprap said to Stripetail.

"Well there is one thing that will give his people will like in a way. the health the rings give of a postive response to who live there. Increasing life by 500% but if you like to know at Mt. Fifther is a training grounds for magical beings. the head of it Pipping. She is far more powerful then the Eilte 5 of Earth 51. she never duals cause she has a wise side that she trains the souls and hearts of all magical beings that train there. the Mt. Fifther is large the land these mountians take is 50,000 sq miles" Sten shows a picture of the massive training grounds built on and on the sides of this Mt. Fifther with the main building showing the young looking women that was a human standing there with a staff in her right hand.

"That is Master Pipping. she is 4 million years old she been when the Wizzins came under attack by that dark Wizzin... she even fought him and beaten him with ease. She said when many asked... she said 'One of Dark that rush for a attack on a creature such as me shouldn't see a human like me weak. he lost to that and banished the heart cold creature of a Wizzin away from the PLanet Earth 51. I will not stand for such weak hearted foolishiness'" Sten said reading as well out loud what the Master said.

'I shall speak With this Pipping" sTripetail said with a smile. "Humans can be very wise, but their life-spans are short, so few of them actually become wise. So She had enough Power to defy Mertavius? That is why he failed to take over the cosmos when he froze the other Wizzin. Very Interesting Riprap. I shall try to learn as much as possible from her, even a Wizard like me can learn from her" he Looked at the castle that the Dinotons had bult, it was exactly like the one on Aestorica, there were pictures of the inside as well, here was the thropy room, where Stripetail kept the numerous throphies he had acquired over the ages. There were the ten Aestorican Dueling Trophies and next to the first was a huge staff with streaks of black running through it " I See, when my servants teleported away from Aestorica they managed to bring all my posessions along as well." He Said with a smile. "Thank you It looks great." he Handed the photos back to RipRap.
