It is the year 1337 of the Age of Cheese, and here in a generic town lives a human named Ridge and his friend, known as Ridge's Friend. They live peacefully, but their lives are turned upside-down in an all-of-a-sudden type of way and they must set forth to save the world! Started by FireMario on Monday, January 26, 2004, and finished on Sunday, March 14, 2004, this is a parody of Vash's awe-inspiring series The Blade of Fate.

FireMario	Heh, so The Blade of Fake makes its way to the Hall of Fame. Well, let's see. The Blade of Fake is nothing but a reasonably amusing little story that pokes some fun at RPG clichés and some other stuff, disguised as a semi-random parody of Vash's masterpiece The Blade of Fate. It's not too long. In fact, if my calculations are correct, it ran for about six or so weeks. Of course, it was my first RP experience ever, and I'm glad to say it was fun, although right now I'm not sure how well this RP stands the test of time. I've come a long way since then. To tell the truth, I must say I used to think The Blade of Fake was an awesomely fantastic RP back in its time. Nowadays, however, I just think of it as an okay story that can still be entertaining as long as you don't expect amazing stuff from it. Here's an interesting fact. I used to have more free time back then, and in fact I had a policy which -as far as I can remember- I upheld throughout most of the RP: I was to post once a day no matter what. And I did, for the most part at least. I managed to consistently post once a day, up until near the end of the RP, when classes began. Well, I can't think of anything else to say. I guess that would be it. FireMario started The Blade of Fake, and was therefore the first person to join it. He wrote 63.13% of the story (over half of it!), doing so in thirty-eight posts. He now goes by the name GeminiSaint.
Elec	Well it was interesting. While it wasn't the first RP of it's kind I've done, it's the first one that poked fun at an actual RP. All in all it was fun. Elec was the second person to join this RP. She wrote 16.01% of the story, doing so in thirty-one posts.
Thalzon	The Blade of Fake was a fine RP, even for a parody. The cast was genuinely interesting for the most part. I didn't really care for how it turned serious near the end, though. It felt like the RP lost its edge. In the end, though, it was a satisfying RP to be in. Thalzon was the fifth, and last person, to join this RP. He wrote 9.85% of the story, doing so in twenty posts. He now goes by the name Corey.
Lamur	The Blade of Fake was one of those RPs that stood out the moment I saw its name. While my contributions were pitiful, it was still a good experience. This RP also parodied cliché plot devices. Cliché plot devices, as well as GodMods, must die! Lamur was the third person to join The Blade of Fake. He wrote 5.99% of the story, doing so in ten posts.
Fgdtdtdtdr	Fgdtdtdtdr was unavailable for comment. He was the fourth person to join this RP, and wrote 5.00% of the story, doing so in ten posts.

        · When the RP Board was moved from VGMusic to here, some people changed their usernames. In this case, FireMario became GeminiSaint.
        · This RP is a parody of Vash's highly-spoken-of Blade of Fate series. However, due to copyright protections, promises, requests, and other things, we are not allowed to show his work here. Sorry.
        · This parody has actually started a series of it's own, with two sequels- Void of Delusions and Void of Delusions 4. Yes, the series skips "3". Yes, it's on purpose.
