Opportunity under seige by Blackleaf

The entire story has been redacted due to it no longer being relevant. The pictures will remain, however, unless they are requested to be taken down.
The RA lost the battle, and Blackleaf florans are now in control of Port Last/Opportunity.
The final words on the battle was that the death count was, "Far too many."

Antares Today is a privately run blog, hosted by me, Ivy, and has no ties to the Rezzulant Armada in any way. I asked for the names of these soldiers by walking up to them and asking them for them. Also, I was not here yesterday to report the violent act of face-smashing. If I had been, I would have.

Antares Today only works to bring the truth. If you believe the story is biased in any way, I'll make sure to leave my emotions at the door the next time I publish a story, no opinions. Antares Today apologizes for any offense taken by this story.

P.S.
An update to the original story: The death count for the RA is at a 0 currently.

Would you rather I not tell you the death count for the RA?

((Ivy is not a part of any faction, and has always spoken with relatively good grammar since she has been on this server. She's been there for almost a day now. Ivy is supposed to have had some kind of education, regarding language and journalism. She's supposed to be a more "modern" floran, (if that's even a thing,) having grown up in a city rather than a tribe.))

((I'm sorry, first off. But please allow me to attempt to defend myself. What you are telling me is that florans are a strictly tribal species, and should not be allowed to become modern, or at least fully modern, like any other species. If that's not what you're saying, I'm sorry, that's what I got out of it. I want to disagree on this point, I think that with time and cultural immersion, florans could become more modernized. I don't know if you would just disagree with that, or if you would say that it's too early time-wise for this to take place. If you agree with the second, then I can understand somewhat. I also get that the story I wrote was kind of incredibly wordy for a floran. All I have for that one would be something along the lines of, "... e-education?" And a damn good editor. If you want to claim the editor basically writes the stories, that's fine. I'll create an editor that will appear in the by-lines and change the publication. Or have Ivy solely be a reporter, and have the editor write most if not all of the publication. Anything that you're fine with. I don't want Ivy to be "special", but I won't deny I want her to be at least somewhat unique. Please don't think those are the same thing. If there are a handful of people playing Florans like this one, I'd hope that it makes Ivy less special. She's not meant to be strong or super intelligent, perhaps on par mentally with a high school student. If that makes her a plant suit, so be it. Ivy makes me happy to play as.
Regardless, if you want to argue further, we should take this to an OOC forum, or to a private conversation. Again, I'm sorry.)

 

((Thanks... Yeah, if it still bothers you, please help me fix it so that it doesn't, or so that there's a decent compromise. (Also, Ivy wasn't supposed to be a lesbian, but when you're a floran, that's hard to accomplish.) ))
