Bah, you infidels will suffer the wrath of the mighty enlioned legions of ferocious felines. When the calling of the greatest of all cats comes, you will answer or be swept aside. THE end is indeed nigh! Infidels, weep as the swath of righeous claw and fur comes to claim your hethen souls! Seek pennance now! That the mighty eyes of the Catinuum finds you worthy of further existance!
REPENT! Before the tail flicks you into the gaping maw of judgement! For the Catinuum is merciful to those whom give of themselves, and will play endlessly the dirge of cat scratch fever to the unbelievers.

The cats can easily be turned back when I unleash the Avatar of Bath! Watch your minions scamper away in terror!

 

[Grey Fox]

The cats have petitioned for unconditional surrender of this thread!

One of the captives do not agree though!

 

[wilboman]

Actually, Burger the cat is terrified out of his mind, and that's why he behaves the way he does. Jokes about cats aside, that video is really quite depressing.

@Grey Fox

FOOL! That is not a sign of surrender! That is the ritual of Cetlah! It summons forth the Harbringer of all forsaken doom! Repent! So that you may join in their cuddlie grace! Or be rent asunder by the venom of Cetlah!

The Catinuum has trained in Various types of martial arts and subterfuge.

Join before its too late,

@Wilboman - Yeah, it means it was abused. I had the same reaction of (Jesus, what happened to you )

 

[wilboman]

ZOMG Solid Kitty Snake! But we know how to counteract him - bring on the shadowy Sons of Labrador and their secret weapon Muttal Grrrr Samoyed!

Hm... if cat-evil is now an alignment, can we also have dog-stupid-neutral?

How about pig-smart-dirty?

 

[wilboman]

Actually, I believe the alignment "good-dog-loyal" is covered by the Order, which is reached via the tech "Unquestioning Obedience".

 

[Nikis-Knight]

lol, true.

I would like to point out that cat, dog and also rabbit can work together if they choose. Only the blind xenopohobia of the cat has led to the hatred between the races. Behold!

When a cat is captured and corrupted for ill-gotten power, as the one you show has been, he is seperated from the catinuum and must be rescued. It is not out of cooperation that the cat is part of some team, but merely out of coersion and brainwashing. THis is the most serious kind of crimes.

EDIT: Never heard of this series, is it animated? Or merely in Graphic Novella form?

 

[wilboman]

I thought it was the "catinuum".

I hate to bring this back to topic...

But I haven't had a chance to be this big of a dork in a long time.

I really liked the blood elves in Earthdawn, a role playing game. They survived a time of evil's dominance over the world by performing a blood ritual that put them in permenant pain with thorns growing out of their skin. They live in a huge forest that was similarly enchanted to protect against evil but effectively turning the forest itself into evil. Now you don't need to take all of this mythology, but for sinister, dark elves, I think they can't be beat. Ideas to steal: a connection to blood magic. Some sort of dark pact to keep them alive during the ice age, perhaps involving blood magic and perverting nature.

For dark fantasy, I think the dark elves should still live in nature but pervert it in some sinister fashion. Perhaps extremely powerful blood forests that require blood sacrafices, either from your enemies or from your own population.

It's a three part comic series by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely; available in a collected format as we speak. Verrrry high quality stuff. It's not at all difficult to cheer as they slaughter the mean ol' humans in a variety of horrible and interesting ways. Things get melancholy at times - at the end of the day it's a parable about cruelty to animals - but it never preaches and has a somewhat hopeful if not entirely uplifting ending.

You'd love the cat; due to his homicidal ways he runs out of ammo fairly quickly into their escape:

(Takes aim at unsuspecting helicopter pilot.)

'SSSSTINK BOSS!'

(Weapon won't fire.)

'??? CLAW B GON HHCCCCHHHSSS!'

Everything he doesn't like 'SSSTINKS' and he doesn't like almost everything.

I'll overlook 'merely', as you were clearly trying to imitate a cat and botched the job.

I really liked the blood elves in Earthdawn, a role playing game. They survived a time of evil's dominance over the world by performing a blood ritual that put them in permenant pain with thorns growing out of their skin.

To clarify this: they were specifically protecting themselves from creatures called Horrors who gained power and sustenance from inflicting suffering in various ways (different breeds had different requirements). The elven 'breakthrough' was to realise that the psychic and physical damage that the Ritual of the Thorns would inflict would make them less useful to the Horrors as a source of food or power.

The rest of the world regarded the tactic as more than a little creepy. Also, the Blood Elves are now a fairly malicious and nasty group of people. I'd hesitate to call them evil; certainly messed up beyond compare and capable of horrendous acts, but not evil in the same way as D+D's Drow. I look on them as more of a tragic mess.
