Wow, that's a pretty cool blade, but how do you get it to one quark thick?
Regardless, 1 damage dealt to the Acolyte!
The Acolyte spot-dodges to slide past your suplex, then gives himself a shield while lying on the ground, which takes the brunt of your assaults!
The Acolyte reverses gravity for a short while in the castle, preparing himself for more stuff falling on him!
The Acolyte actually has a passion for Black MIDI, and has been accustomed to how it sounds! He takes no damage from the noise.
The Acolyte isn't sure how you got his server into the form of a car to crash into him! This takes him completely off guard as he takes the brunt of the crash!
1 damage dealt to the Acolyte- the server freezes for a bit before catching up to speed!
You also earn the achievement of getting the Acolyte down to ORANGE HEALTH (40%)!
========[End-of-Turn Events]========
Ninjatwist_ reacts a bit to the server freezing around him before it comes back online. A flood of confused messages follows!
The Acolyte is clearly affected by the damage he's taken... His ego and sense of comfidence breaks down as he's on two-fifths of his health.
The Night Crystal's countdown is at 30 seconds.
THE ACOLYTE: Half a minute left... come on... I can't keep this up for much longer
Requirements for the Acolyte to nullify an attack have been greatly lowered! At least one attack for the last few turns is guaranteed to do damage!
========[JOE's Sidequest Events]========
Your sidequest's getting removed for now- if you want to recover it, it's on Page 79.
========[sunnyau's Sidequest Events]========
A Live Flying Fish is close by, what do you do with it? Do you kill it or send it back into the water?
The tree with the birds' nest in it, and the dock with the barrel full of stuff is still untouched.
A tree crashes down behind you, making you jump. When you turn around, you find the pathway back to the Turqoise Circle has been blocked by the tree's trunk. Looks like this is a one-way trip.
There's also an odd violet tint to some part of the sky... maybe it means something?

====[The Battlefield]====
A secluded circular area of the Acolyte's fortress, surrounded by several pillars. The Night Crystal is in the center of the room, as is the Acolyte himself.
Some cracks remain in the floor tiles from Xor's entry.
A pillar or two lie collapsed on the floor, seemingly having holes torn straight through them.

The sword is now a Gun, how, you may ask.My answer is, of course: “Nanobots, Son ”.The Gun shoots a single Bullet, however this bullets spreads the WORD of DAKKA and creates the Dimension of Just Enough Dakka Around it.The Bullet shoots bullets that hit air bullets that fire off force bullets in accordance to Newton’s Third Bullet, and all the Bullet Shells are accreted into the original Bullet, by the time the Bullet reached the Acolyte, it has absorbed 3000x times it’s Bullet in Bullet Bullet.It thus strikes the Acolyte with the Power of a Galaxy in which bullets perform a deadly dance of Life and Death, all to achieve the Unreachable Ideal,More then enough Dakka.

I rush at the Acolyte again, but my legs give out from under me.
In fact, everyone's legs seem to go out from under them - the room has suddenly become entirely frictionless.
As I struggle to get up, the black void appears again; spreading from the ceiling to the walls.
Reality seems to warp, and everyone is launched violently off the ground as it too is consumed by the void.
And yet, it seems as though there is a visible separation between the room and the void, and all the objects in the room are floating in this zero-gravity field.
A familiar voice echoes from the walls...
"Fancy seeing you again. Though I wonder just how you escaped."
And yet, something is different about the voice. It sounds the same as last time, but now it seems to be more than one voice - more than a thousand, even. And, on top of that, it seems to be two voices stronger.
"No matter. It's time for you to die."
A pillar of darkness breaks through the silence. I can only barely dodge it. Another pillar follows, but this one I dodge with slightly more air between us. Then, a third pillar strikes from the wall. I grab and throw the Acolyte into it. (If it hits him, the void proceeds to release him at violent speeds.)
"Why don't you want to join me?"
With every pillar, the room I have to work with gets smaller and smaller, but the same applies to the Acolyte. Finally, a blast hits me in the arm, and I'm pulled in to the void, my red aura glowing brighter than ever before.
The void fades away, and the room is restored to a semi-natural state. Some things have fallen over, though.

I cast MEGA FIST onto the Acolyte, then teleport behind him to kick him in the back, then make him watch Vsauce but out of context, then I then him to Thell.

Just before the void disappears entirely, a bright red hand reaches out of the void and grasps at the wall.
"Stop resisting. You'll be at peace when you're one with me."
Strange... the voice seems to be missing two people.
The hand pushes, and a head begins to appear. It's Sky! Wonder why he isn't using his other hand. He starts pulling through, and his other hand can be seen... holding on to another very familiar hand.
"What? How is this possible!? You're not supposed to win! You're supposed to be stardust by now!"
The void begins to expand again, and Sky struggles to find a handhold. He begins seeking back into the abyss.
"Yes..."
Then, the void seems to ripple. A familiar voice echoes from within the void...
"NOW!"
Thousands of hands begin to reach from the void, and grab the reaching hand of Sky, and begin pulling him out of the void.
"No... NO!"
Eventually, Sky manages to pull himself and Star the rest of the way out, and it then becomes apparent that Star is missing his left arm and right leg.
Then, two white stars that look like eyes open up in the darkness, and another hand reaches out, and the other hands part for it.
"I will NOT be losing YOU too! I AM THE UNIVERSE!"
A star shines brighter in the distance, accompanied by a distant, momentary scream. A pillar of flame suddenly bursts through the void, flooding the room with fire. Then, just as suddenly, it dims and vanishes. The void is visibly rippling as the arm attempts to escape.
"NO! NO! NO!"
The void ripples and falters, and a being steps out of the void. Its voice sounds familiar...
"That... was too close."
It's Xor! ...Albeit made of void and starstuff. This will change the name of the game significantly.

...Woah. That's a whole lot of dakka.
The sheer fact that "enough dakka" has been achieved deals 1 damage to the Acolyte!
...Ooh, nice roleplaying. The Acolyte gets tossed out of the void at such a speed from your RPing effort that he can't react! 1 damage dealt!
Woah, nice. The Acolyte doesn't know how to thell, but the beating coupled with the mental damage from watching Vsauce out of context deals 1 damage to him!
Ooh, very nice! I'm glad to welcome Xor back... Damn, I wish this could continue.
========[End-of-Turn Events]========
Ninjatwist_ runs up to the Acolyte and punches him before he can regain focus!
NINJATWIST_: Persecles can't touch you here here, so I'm attacking on his behalf, with every ounce of ferocity he'd unleash upon you!
Ninjatwist_ does a sword and gun combo straight out of a fighting game, starting with an uppercut and ending with a rain of lead to a downwards final saber cleave, all with the Acolyte as his focus! 1 damage dealt!
The Acolyte clambers back to his feet and approaches the Night Crystal very closely, almost touching the device as it begins to awaken to its purpose.
The Night Crystal's countdown is at 3 seconds!
THE ACOLYTE: Perfect...
2 seconds...
THE ACOLYTE: This is the end between us.
1 second...
THE ACOLYTE: Nighty-night.
0 seconds.
The Night Crystal's crystalline structures light up, creating a short-ranged portal which sucks the Acolyte away to another location! Ninjatwist_ tries firing a few rounds into the portal... but his magazine is anticlimactically empty. A defeated look washes over Ninjatwist_'s face as the portal the Acolyte vanished into fades away.
Ninjatwist_: ...What? Where'd he go?
Before Ninjatwist_ (or any of you) can fully sink in what's going on, and what the Acolyte's plan was, the Night Crystal flashes again with a blinding light, dazzling everyone in the party, including Ninjatwist_ and Xor! Before you know it, an even bigger portal emerges from the Night Crystal, too swiftly for you to get away! Some of you try fighting or running from the portal, but it eventually swallows and engulfs the entire party of players.
The portal energy seems to have some other strange effects... Persecles' last words to your party echo through your mind as the portal engulfs you.
PERSECLES: When I first met you on that beach, I wouldn't know how critical our alliance would be.
PERSECLES: I greatly appreciated the trust and cooperation we built over this last campaign against the Mook forces.
PERSECLES: Particularly, Sunnyau may not be here, but I hope they know that they have my personal thanks for saving the life of one of my men.
PERSECLES: Every one of them counts, as does every one of you.
PERSECLES: And every entity you summon to fight for you.
PERSECLES: And now that this is likely the final fight between you and the Acolyte...
PERSECLES: I never expected this to be over so quickly.
PERSECLES: It has been a great honor working with you and your party.
PERSECLES: Please ensure that the Acolyte knows that some blows are penance for the lives of my soldiers.
PERSECLES: I would greatly appreciate it.
PERSECLES: Now go, and finish off that hooded wretch for good.
PERSECLES: I am immensely proud of our teamwork, and of each of you.
The portal completely devours you and your party, filling up the entire blank room of the castle.
You see each other and Ninjatwist_, swimming in a vast cosmic whirlpool. It's not some sort of torturous experience- it's more like floating effortlessly, being pushed gently towards some distant space. Ninjatwist_ takes the moment to meditate quietly to himself, reflecting on his journey, and what brought him and your party together against the Acolyte. You can talk amongst each other- maybe you'll use this time wisely, to ease the journey up. You think of what could be going on in the world the Acolyte left behind, and you were pulled out of- maybe this is the decisive event which will win the fight- for one side or the other. Your destination is completely unknowable, and you don't know where you'll end up. Maybe it'll be another location, where the Acolyte and his forces can be destroyed at your hand. Hopefully it'll be an escape- or better yet, a way for everyone under the Acolyte's control to escape.
All you can do is wait to arrive. Somewhere.
This is (as of now) the last gameplay post, and this is the last iteration of the Battlefield. Sidequests will be locked as well, but if you want to continue any privately with me, feel free to contact me through Discord (I'll make sure a link is in the OP). I will conclude this game with a more text-based conclusion, so I ask for the last time, please stay tuned!

========[sunnyau's Sidequest Events]========
A Live Flying Fish is close by, what do you do with it? Do you kill it or send it back into the water?
The tree with the birds' nest in it, and the dock with the barrel full of stuff is still untouched.
A tree crashes down behind you, making you jump. When you turn around, you find the pathway back to the Turqoise Circle has been blocked by the tree's trunk. Looks like this is a one-way trip.
A massive explosion has rocked the field from where the violet skies were... it seems like something massive just happened. If you want to continue this or something, feel free to get in touch with my Discord. Otherwise, this'll end here. This has been a pleasure.

====[The Battlefield]====
An immense yet gentle whirlpool through space, created by the Night Crystal. It's entirely calm here, and it feels like an eternity of time could pass through here. Despite the circumstances, this portal is oddly serene and calming.

But, with that out of the way...
Today's the FOURTH anniversary of this game's release. And likely its final one.
I’m not really sure what to say. After four years of my life spent maintaining this project, it’s come to an end. Four long years- that’s basically my whole high school life, stretching into the DTG2/0 era at its earliest. Admittedly, this end is a bit self-inflicted. I’m not sure if this counts as the game being completed, or dying out. Maybe a little bit of both. But hey, two Acts each, of which would probably each take up the time a better game would, is no small feat, right?
This end probably would have come either way, regardless of if I wanted to cut the game short at the finale of the second Act. Despite my efforts, the game was slowly dwindling in terms of player count. This is probably to be expected from a game that ran as long as this one did. At one point (or maybe several), we had two active players. Not only that, this game got pretty dated as time went on- other games progressed how the DTG formula worked, and the Acolyte just kinda… stayed behind, and was often the last to stay on many forums we saw as overcrowded or dated. We had Speed Values, mass proliferation of items, and maybe keywords as minor innovations, but those are about it. Entities often took pretty long to defeat, and sometimes the tactics I suggested felt counterproductive. I’m guessing the players’ side of things got uninteractive and unintuitive too. I’m glad this changed somewhat in the end, but I knew I had to make this game’s closing count, so I asked people to join in. No regrets, though; I’m glad I could attract everyone with an interest in the game in its final moments.
At the time I wrote this down, I felt really, really sad. Like a chapter of my life was concluding. Acolyte provided a sense of constantness and routine when I really needed it. And whatever kind of routine and sense of purpose this game was giving me over the past four years is gone. I don’t know how I’ll fill the void this is going to leave. Maybe I’ll actually pursue a life outside of my laptop, develop my inhibited social skills, form a group of friends, start dating, start a career, and maybe be happy. Or maybe I’d be happier developing additional, more ambitious digital projects, and I’ll get some small job to sustain myself, or go freelance on something. Perhaps I’ll find nothing to fill the void, and I’d succumb to it one way or another, with no other purpose I could find in my life. I’m just so glad this game was a part of my life for so long. Often it gave me hope when nothing else would. I’m confident to (as of writing this) call this my greatest work. My greatest project. The one above all the others. And I’m so glad that everyone I listed above (and many more) could help me make this come to life.
I’ve still got plenty of ideas in my head for this game, and what follows after this act. A lot more new art, new worlds, and new characters. I’ve also had my mind on other projects (in and out of Acolyte’s universe), though, which complicate things. Maybe I should focus more on Acolyte. Maybe I will in the future. Maybe I’ll revive the game, give it another fresh start, and overhaul everything. Maybe I won’t, and I’ll conclude the story at this point, and write an epilogue. Maybe all my previous and current plans for Acolyte will go up in smoke.
Am I going to keep writing stuff for Acolyte? Or, failing that, am I going to write some sort of Epilogue for the final events of the game? That’s mostly up in the air, and I want to commit to what’d be most satisfying to my playerbase, but also what I feel like I can (time and effort-wise) commit to without breaking down.
Please vote on this form as to what I should do going forward. I’d be glad to hear what outcome(s) you think would be best. Multiple answers are acceptable. I don’t know how long this is going to be up- maybe I’ll run it for a week.
The Future of Acolyte
Now that we’re finally concluding, I’m remembering all the stuff that took place with us. The Acolyte’s first player-created castle that massively challenged the Anti-Acolyte side, especially with how PvP focused the game was. The initial influx of players which overwhelmed me, as I was still new to the routine I mentioned earlier, often causing me to break down. The initially exploitable item system which slowly faded away as time went on. Another early weird system was Elements… oh, sweet heavens, Elements. The admittedly amateurish art and storytelling that Major Persecles started me off on- although I’m glad to say my art evolved over time.
The time powie took over, leaving an infamous mark and causing an uproar (regretfully, I wasn’t around to witness it). My troubles with malware, how it kept leaking through to my edited posts, and my relief when I was more or less rid of it. The Futility Tower, which was a player-made sidequest. Our move to the TCF, and the revitalization that followed. The constant influx was enjoyable, but the drain of people that were bored or exhausted (and rightfully so after often a period of years) meant that this wasn’t really sustainable anymore. That’s why I pulled the plug on Acolyte. At least the game portion of it. Maybe only for now.
If you’re someplace where I can keep in contact with you (such as the #DTG discord, which I have linked above), or MSPAradox (which I have also linked above) I’ll be glad to see you there, and this won't be the last goodbye we share. If not, then farewell, and I’m hoping you the best.

But, with that out of the way...
Today's the FOURTH anniversary of this game's release. And likely its final one.
I’m not really sure what to say. After four years of my life spent maintaining this project, it’s come to an end. Four long years- that’s basically my whole high school life, stretching into the DTG2/0 era at its earliest. Admittedly, this end is a bit self-inflicted. I’m not sure if this counts as the game being completed, or dying out. Maybe a little bit of both. But hey, two Acts each, of which would probably each take up the time a better game would, is no small feat, right?
This end probably would have come either way, regardless of if I wanted to cut the game short at the finale of the second Act. Despite my efforts, the game was slowly dwindling in terms of player count. This is probably to be expected from a game that ran as long as this one did. At one point (or maybe several), we had two active players. Not only that, this game got pretty dated as time went on- other games progressed how the DTG formula worked, and the Acolyte just kinda… stayed behind, and was often the last to stay on many forums we saw as overcrowded or dated. We had Speed Values, mass proliferation of items, and maybe keywords as minor innovations, but those are about it. Entities often took pretty long to defeat, and sometimes the tactics I suggested felt counterproductive. I’m guessing the players’ side of things got uninteractive and unintuitive too. I’m glad this changed somewhat in the end, but I knew I had to make this game’s closing count, so I asked people to join in. No regrets, though; I’m glad I could attract everyone with an interest in the game in its final moments.
At the time I wrote this down, I felt really, really sad. Like a chapter of my life was concluding. Acolyte provided a sense of constantness and routine when I really needed it. And whatever kind of routine and sense of purpose this game was giving me over the past four years is gone. I don’t know how I’ll fill the void this is going to leave. Maybe I’ll actually pursue a life outside of my laptop, develop my inhibited social skills, form a group of friends, start dating, start a career, and maybe be happy. Or maybe I’d be happier developing additional, more ambitious digital projects, and I’ll get some small job to sustain myself, or go freelance on something. Perhaps I’ll find nothing to fill the void, and I’d succumb to it one way or another, with no other purpose I could find in my life. I’m just so glad this game was a part of my life for so long. Often it gave me hope when nothing else would. I’m confident to (as of writing this) call this my greatest work. My greatest project. The one above all the others. And I’m so glad that everyone I listed above (and many more) could help me make this come to life.
I’ve still got plenty of ideas in my head for this game, and what follows after this act. A lot more new art, new worlds, and new characters. I’ve also had my mind on other projects (in and out of Acolyte’s universe), though, which complicate things. Maybe I should focus more on Acolyte. Maybe I will in the future. Maybe I’ll revive the game, give it another fresh start, and overhaul everything. Maybe I won’t, and I’ll conclude the story at this point, and write an epilogue. Maybe all my previous and current plans for Acolyte will go up in smoke.
Am I going to keep writing stuff for Acolyte? Or, failing that, am I going to write some sort of Epilogue for the final events of the game? That’s mostly up in the air, and I want to commit to what’d be most satisfying to my playerbase, but also what I feel like I can (time and effort-wise) commit to without breaking down.
Please vote on this form as to what I should do going forward. I’d be glad to hear what outcome(s) you think would be best. Multiple answers are acceptable. I don’t know how long this is going to be up- maybe I’ll run it for a week.
The Future of Acolyte
Now that we’re finally concluding, I’m remembering all the stuff that took place with us. The Acolyte’s first player-created castle that massively challenged the Anti-Acolyte side, especially with how PvP focused the game was. The initial influx of players which overwhelmed me, as I was still new to the routine I mentioned earlier, often causing me to break down. The initially exploitable item system which slowly faded away as time went on. Another early weird system was Elements… oh, sweet heavens, Elements. The admittedly amateurish art and storytelling that Major Persecles started me off on- although I’m glad to say my art evolved over time.
The time powie took over, leaving an infamous mark and causing an uproar (regretfully, I wasn’t around to witness it). My troubles with malware, how it kept leaking through to my edited posts, and my relief when I was more or less rid of it. The Futility Tower, which was a player-made sidequest. Our move to the TCF, and the revitalization that followed. The constant influx was enjoyable, but the drain of people that were bored or exhausted (and rightfully so after often a period of years) meant that this wasn’t really sustainable anymore. That’s why I pulled the plug on Acolyte. At least the game portion of it. Maybe only for now.
If you’re someplace where I can keep in contact with you (such as the #DTG discord, which I have linked above), or MSPAradox (which I have also linked above) I’ll be glad to see you there, and this won't be the last goodbye we share. If not, then farewell, and I’m hoping you the best.

Congrats for finishing the game, Ninja, and having the honor of having created the longest-running game in the history of Destroy the Godmodder! Considering that you've become quite the artist, I look forward to whatever projects you take on in the future! Let me know if you need any help or just suggestions or feedback on any such projects.
(I'm the GM of the aforementioned MSPAradox, BTW.)

Sky High
Ice Queen
Sky High reached out with his Staff. A grapple of energy launched from it, hooking onto the nearby wall. He held on for dear life, but the staff slipped his grasp. Just as he started to fall in, he was caught by Xor, whose hands were stretching to their (very long) limit, and holding on to the staff. Hm. Void seems to be pretty stretchy. However, eventually, the power in the staff faded, and the pair fell.
Star caught the staff, flying through the air. The three of them would survive this, dangit. He flew with the most of his might, his Conduit Sapphire now charged with the power of a dying star.
However, that power faded all too quickly in the presence of this portal.
The three found themselves floating in the cosmic void. They were separated from the rest of the group. Xor, Sky, and... the Melodica? That was no good.
"So... We lost."
"At least we're alive."
"Star?"
The melodica glowed, as if to speak.
"Yes, I'm alive. Barely. I forgot how powerful Father Universe is."
"Not powerful enough. We can defeat him."
"No."
"What? But-"
"We're not strong enough."
"Well, then, how do we get stronger?"
Star simply said nothing, and pointed. Somehow. A mysterious new opening had appeared in the absence.
"Well then... Shall we?"
Thanks for everything, Ninjatwist! (Including the awards!)
Of course, it's a shame that there's now one less game to play in the Terraria Forums.
