  • This post reminds me of an idea I had the other day. Someone should make a PvP centric clan called "witch hunt".

    • well the reason they call it that is (my thought on why) is because your characters are basically space wizards/witches, your powers just came from an "alien" object. right?

        • *A* crucible is not a book about "witches and shit" however there is a book (and shitty movie) named 'the crucible' about witches and shit. Grimoire cards are also about pagan-y magic stuff. Lots of the game has fantasy inspired names.

          A crucible is also a container that can withstand extremely high temperatures. It is also the name of a Dalek space station in Doctor Who. There is an episode of Fraiser titled "The Crucible". More accurately, the Crucible you're referring to uses the Salem witch trials as an allegory for the accusations in the United States, at the time of the writing, that some people were communist spies including the author. ...It also sounds cooler than "matchmaking".

          • It's a great play written by Arthur Miller about the Salem witch trials in response to McCarthyism.

              • Because it's the Crucible. It's PvP. You could call Strikes match making, too.

                I don't recall it being a book, but it was definitely a (admittedly less-than-stellar) play. Besides, the word "crucible" has more than one meaning. It's not just a book title.

                    • First of all, The Crucible is a play. Also, a crucible is tool used in chemistry for very hot substances. If you needed to burn something at very high temperatures, you'd use a crucible. It's called that because there's a lot of fire and heat and action, like in a crucible.

                        I will be the John Proctor of Destiny's Crucible! “Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!” EDIT: I actually played John Proctor for my English Class assignment, me and my classmates recorded it and showed it in class. Great guy.

                      • Another definition is " a place or occasion of severe test or trial." Just like the final test in Marine Corps Bootcamp is the crucible which lasts 54 hours and ends with a 10 mile hike. After the hike the Recruits are handed the Eagle Globe and Anchor to symbolize they have earned the title of Marine.
