Welcome to the Oracion thread.
Say your last prayer
Guild information:
Oracion is an active, friendly and solid guild that allows the entry to a selected few players that fit with the ideals of the guild. We usually do gvg (LD or BN), PvE runs, Shadow Lairs and some events.
Oracion was founded by the pony god Contri on February 2014, now lead by the best player in the game Bleyken.
Officers:
Rules:
Oracion takes a hard stance against the use of Auto-Target in Lockdown. Lockdown requires practice, skill, a little creativity, (and a bit of gear) but the use of Auto-Target not only robs a player of the chance to develop, it creates a wall that prevents many new players from developing or even continuing to play.
Oracion's Story, told by Demete
In a land far, far away, where there was war every day. Where you had to get into the fray to protect that what you love, there lived two extraordinary knights, who showed no fear against their opponents. They would slaughter down every single one of the most frightening foe’s that ravaged the lands of Cradle. They were better known as: Shadow Overlords.
The war which was destroying the once so beautiful landscapes grow bigger by the day. There were several groups of brave knights who tried to stop the evil from winning, but without success. Every time a group of warriors would try to infiltrate into the chambers of the Darkness, the demons would rise up and bring them down.
So there was nothing else left to do for the council of Cradle, other then to give up. The head-council crushed his mind, thinking of a solution which would solve their problems. He couldn’t think up of anyone who would be strong enough to compete with the demons of Darkcub. He was about to give up, unless…
No, the idea was crazy, a group of two knights was nothing in comparison of the legion of the Dark Lord. There was only one chance to save his beloved nation. The Shadow Overlords had to amplify their guild. Otherwise, the whole plan was doomed.
Cronus gathered the council to put in all their treasures to satisfy the two Shadow Overlords. So they put everything in a chest and got on their way to the first knight, the one and only Contri the Pony god. They’ve sent a message to the second Shadow Overlord, no one else then Bleyken, also known as Bleyjob (for his awesome and magical bleyjob’s). So Bleyken and Contri met up with each other after a long, long time.
Once the Cronus arrived, and explained the whole situation, Bleyken and Contri agreed to do the best they can to protect Cradle. Contri gathered his ponies together as Bleyken started to recruit one of the finest knights he knew. After a long and exhausting period of time, they assembled an enormous army of warriors. Contri rode his loyal horse Ruby-Rider, while Bleyken stepped on one of the ponies that took part of the legion of Contri’s ponies.
After camping right in front of the enemies base, they took a rest to fight with all their energy against the legion of Darkcub.
As the dawn came down, the army of the Shadow Overlords picked up their swords and shields to fight the battle against the dark. The two armies clashed each other so hard that people from the other side of the world could hear the rain of sword butchering down of the shields. It was a bone breaking and tiring fight. But sad enough, the Dark Lord won, he fed his sinister heart with the lost souls of the army of the Shadow Overlords.
With a lot of pain in their heart and tears on their face, Contri and Bleyken returned home, with only one surviving knight called Scirio. Scirio showed his trust and however he fought cowardly he got to settle down in the Shadow Overlord’s guild. He was now named Scirio the Nub. The three of them started to recruit more and more knight, to keep on fighting. But every fight they delivered turned out to be a lost one. Scirio became upset and left the guild to live in exile.
There was basically no hope left anymore until one day… The lost and never found companion of Bleyken and Contri returned. His name was Demete, also known as Mupt. So Demete approached Bleyken and Contri and said: ‘It’s been a long since we’ve met my old friends. But now is the time to stop you grieve and pick up your swords again, as for I am here to with a new army of soldiers who will make the demons want to say their last prayer.’
The last word Demete had spoken touched Contri’s heart so much that he charged himself with new energy and picked up his sword and shield again. As he packed his stuff he said: ‘This is indeed the day we make Darkcub want to say his last prayer, we will no longer be the Shadow Overlords, but now we are called “Oracion’’! So gather around, for one last fight, and let’s end this, for our country, out wives and our kids, so their kids can live in peace!’’
With those wise words spoken they marched away, to the apocalypse, hopefully to end the war. It was the most epic battle the world had ever seen, swords had to be replaced because of the many cleaves in them, shield were being broken down as they were bashed up against the heads of the knights. It was a total chaos on the battlefield. No one knew which side would actually win, until Bleyken did something out of this world, risking his own life, he made a bomb, hided it in beneath his clothes and run into the frontier. Like being blessed from the gods he dodged all the swords swipes and threw the bomb into the base of Darkcub. It exploded with a fiery flash and whipped the floor off with the legion of the Dark Lord.
This was Contri’s ponies ate the face of the demons and Demete’s army was able to catch Darkcub and lock him up. Once back to Cradle they made a pact with Darkcub. They took away his power of using Auto Target so he couldn’t harm anyone anymore, and now he lives in peace with the rest of the Oracion family.
So now when you are walking down the street and you hear: ’’Say your last prayer’’, know that the members of Oracion are near and have caught yet another bandit.
Some of our guildmates' backstories
Contri the Pony "God" is a "manly" man looking for adventures, he often comes to earth for adventure and goes back to his "Oracion" heaven once he's bored, sometimes bringing with him new members to join the unhappy family. He has a boring life and does things like falling in love with a boy named Bleyu, so i'm going to skip his story.
A sunday of 2004, Contri decided to visit Africa for some fun, he quickly found it and fought a family of Lions, he managed to beat them all alone, but when he was done and on his way back home he tripped on a rock, a tribe helped him and performed a surgery on him with sticks and more rocks, it failed and Contri lost his arm, he became a manco as of that and told everyone in there to suck his **** leaving instantly. At the exit of the tribe, he saw a kid named Conicius eating worms, Contri saw him and his face became a "-.-", he left the place BUT coni followed him, so Contri kept him and then Coni proved himself worthy at the Oracion kingdom.
It was a rainy night in 1999, the HAAlcyons empire decided to start a war against the Topaz Griffin Order, TGO pulled out their Divine Avengers to defend themselves, but it wasn't enough since HAAlcyons had guns and a huge advantage on quantity, this seemed like the end for TGO.. and it actually was the end, HAAlcyons got to the castle and the TGO's King defended his family doing everything he could while the queen ran away with their baby, sadly a group of HAAlcyons chased her.. she knew it was her end and hid the baby in a box where she told him her last words with her last breath. "Dalilook.. you must live.. I love you.." HAAlcyons ended her life with no mercy, thought there was noone alive and left.
The next day, Contri heard there was a war so he came to TGO looking for a fight, but he was late. After a few minutes of "Meh" Contri heard a baby crying, found him and looked for his parents for 30 minutes, then gave up and decided to keep him.. the Prince Dalilook.
There's this reaaally old urban legend that talks about a guy being brutally murdered by a group of ATers, the guy didn't die happy because they used Auto Target, so instead of really dying he became a ghost that kills every single ATer he finds, of course his first victims being the ones who killed him. Some say it's a dumb story, but he actually exists and stares into your soul if he feels like it to see if you AT'd in the past.. he is no joke, he is Theirillusion. (Contri doesn't like ATers either so Illu hangs out with him, that's why he's here)
Oracion's Riddles
John and Bert just became friends with Amanda, and want to know when her birthday is. Amanda gives them a list of 10 possible dates.
May 15, May 16, May 19
June 17, June 18
July 14, July 16
August 14, August 15, August 17
Amanda then tells John the month of her birthday and Bert the day of her birthday.
John says: I don't know when Amanda's birthday is, but I know Bert doesn't know either.
Bert: At first I didn't know her birthday, but now I know.
John: Ok, now I know her birthday as well.
Bleyu: Why do you want to know her birthday? Because she has boobs? Look at me, I have the biggest 8=====D in the room !
.....
So the question is: What is the size of bley's...ehh...when is Amanda's birthday?
There once was a planet called Cradle. 501 knights crashed with their ship, they were stranded, but they were not alone. (huehuehue)
Contri sees 250 Defender Elites and 250 Champions. None of them knew their own rank, but they can see everyone else's ranks. Luckily there was another space ship to get away from Cradle. It came once every night and only those who knew their rank could board the ship. No one except the Almighty Pony God Contri the Vanguard could communicate in any way and one day he said "meh, i see a scrub defender elite -.-" and then he stayed silent. If a knight doesn't know their rank they will stay and miss that nights flight. All knights think logically and acts only on that.
Who leaves cradle and on what night?

Who can partake in this lottery?
All members of Oracion can sign up for the lottery. All they have to do is to be online when the lottery starts.
When will this lottery be held?
Since I'm sure most of us have other things to do on Valentine's day, the lottery will take place next week on Saturday February 21 at 10PM CET. Check what time it corresponds with for your own country, please. Its 9PM for the UK, 4PM for the US East Coast and 1PM for the US West Coast. MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON TIME!!
What is the procedure? How can you win a prize?
Well, it's simple: if you guess the right number, you win. Taking into account the total membership of our guild, I think a number pool of zero to 9 should do. If, however, more than one person has guessed it right then there will be a second round. All 'winners' of the first round will be qualified for the second round and once again, they will pick a number. The one who guessed closest to the winning number, wins the prize.
The order of number picking will be like this: From the top of the members' list to the bottom: GM--> officers-->vets-->members-->recruits. Subsequently we will announce which number our aussie/kiwi members picked.

1. IGN: Bkgvucvu (I'm sorry for the lack of names when It was 2011, I didn't know that I was going to play for this long of a time. I'm going to try to invest in a knight name change pass.)
2. When did you start playing SK? I started playing SK around September of 2011. Still don't have 2k hours for SK on Steam (Sadly) only 1k
3. What guilds have you been in? Let's see if I can remember some guilds... Temporal Warriors (that was an actual guild by Shinyespeon. Look it up on the forums.), Intense Flame, Dragons Of Angels (This is where my alt (The-Master-Blaster) is in. It's just there in case anyone wants to do inhouse), Brmc, First Blood, Rigorous, Promise, Umbrae, and R G P.
4. Why do you want to join Oracion? 2 things. 1: I can't really find a good, active guild that can fit my needs (Like GVG, good to talk to, events etc.) 2: R G P is basically dead sine Kyoten left, so I'm kinnda a loner.
5. Do you know anyone from out guild? If yes, who? Well, I don't technically KNOW anyone (Like I know them and they know me back) except for Darkcub, I've seen him in plenty of games.
6. What do you enjoy doing in Spiral Knights? I enjoy the experiences. Like the funny jokes, the fails that people do, the chats, Lockdown (doing infinite matches even though I've never (and I'm serious) been in one).
7. How old are you? 69 years, 69 weeks, 69 days, 69 hours, 69 minutes, 69 seconds, and 69 milliseconds (seems legit). But in reality, 14.
8. Where are you from? The magical place that I can call my mom's v*****. Lol, it's true! I didn't come from a man! That would be disgusting!!!
9. Have you ever been stalked by Darkcub? The answer is: no... Although he did ask if my mom was cute, and I took it too far, ending up asking him the wrong thing xD
Although I do have to say this. I won't be on my main account in Spiral Knights until approximately the 20th or the 21st for sure. I might try to go on Wednesday the 11th, I could try. The reason being for this is because I have to take my finals and my Regents (pain in the a**) and I still have school this week. So hopefully you can consider my application! :D I'll be in touch through the forums and maybe in game through The-Master-Blaster. Okie bai.
