"“The vivid force of his mind prevailed, and he fared forth far beyond the flaming ramparts of the heavens and traversed the boundless universe in thought and mind.” - Lucretius. It was time for change. It had been time for 'change' for, infact, a very very long time. The darkness that festered in the hearts of the knight extinguished by lack of motive, the lord before Verin grew weary of the monotony of mass murder that was a necessity on a daily basis. The Knights, with no direction, went dormant in their abode. The Great Lord Rawraych, as he is truly called, had ruled for decades. Beyond decades, he had ruled for a century. Change comes when least expected, and most needed, and this case was not different. Verin Etitlan walked into the hall, and at his throne lay his lord in decaying, rusted armor. If there was a way to convey age to entities such as themselves, this would be it. There-followed a conversation too long and too droll for remembrance, even in documentation. Verin was told of his impending fate, and of his ascension, and of preparations thereupon. Weariness had struck his lord, a weariness of a nature not solvable by any form of murder. Much like Aelor before him, Rawraych made preparations for the end. All of those who survived, the nine knights, gathered around The Dread Lord, and he spoke the words and runes which left them wandering in a sea of meaningless will..and just so did he say the words which bound them to Verin, and there was change. As before, now. Three thundering ‘WEEEEEEEOOOOO’s’ shout from horns in the countryside, near the Alrasian city that carreses the sky. Nine Knights whip the reins of a caravan of horses, nine knights walk along. None die as they make their way far, far out toward wherever they dwell now. The world would remember their glory. A single, bellowing screech of languid inclination coincides with a new shout of the horns. “GLORY TO THE DREAD LORD!” yet again. “GLORY TO VERIN!”. yet again. “BELLIAE. DOE. DREAD!”

Add Dread Knights?

I agree with bird whisperer, partially. The issue isn't 'maturity' which as LOTC has proven, some of the oldest members of our community show a clear lack of, it's a lack of empathy and understanding. Which, unfortunately, you can't exactly enforce or teach. Return to a mutual understanding that everyone behind the screen is human, and maybe you'd see change, but trying to ask people to be 'mature' is as difficult as trying to land a man on the sun.

At the same time as the two communicate, a Wilven Monk saunters in, and lays down a few pamphlets on the table before quickly departing. "JOIN THE WILVEN MONKS TODAY, WE HAVE DARK ELVEN WOMEN!" is the brief summary of the text.

Meet the Dread-Knights, ples.

This server has a giant issue of a false Dichotomy. For the past three years, we've had two sides of an argument ranting and raving about how one side is looking out for self-interest, and are generally very bad people as a whole. I’m posting this because I’m asking genuinely: What the hell? A dichotomy, in definition, is an attempt at representing two idealisms or even objects as being wholly different from one another. We've seen this multiple times here, and none greater than: “RP Vs PvP.” So I’m here to make a case for the fact that both sides aren't entirely different, and I’ll present my ideas as simply as I can. RP default is the action of typing out, or rolling and considering a reply based on said roll or equal character strength. It is the manual version of PVP, and provides a similar playing ground with the singular difference of the fact someone with a better communicative skill can outwit/outtype the opponent, or in cases Power Game. PVP Default is the action of clicking, and aiming on other players sprites with the intention of ending a conflict through automated means which would end itself quicker then such a thing like the above which may lead to either an unwanted ending, or an undeserved one. It provides a level playing field. A note between both of these is that they are the same action reversed and divided and scrambled out of proportion to be called something different, they are automatic, and they are manual. They are the same device in different settings with the intention of each being the conclusion as they/it should be. The dichotomy in this situation is the idea that these two things are so different as to be unrecognizable to the other party in the event of conflict, so I ask as I said before. What the hell is the issue? Going by the fact I've never driven a car, I can’t attest to a comparison in that vein which might fit this dichotomy. I can say, however, that some people prefer doing things the harder way, manually. When someone with a clear knowledge of computers wishes to download a modification and is given the opportunity to either go through the base installer and do it in an automated fashion, will he? No, he will not, but will he encounter more issues in doing so? maybe so, it all depends on the software at play and the proficiency of both devices in the works of it. Does this discount the person who clicks a few buttons, and gets the job done through automated means? I don’t think it does. So, whenever one of you discounts one side of an argument such as “RPvsPvP” as being subjectively wrong or just incredibly thick-headed, realize both of you garner the same conclusion, and just go through slightly different means, and that arguing over the same conclusion is just incredibly dumb as a whole. I hope this post wasn't too incredibly stupid, and I hope it may have even been some constructive feedback. Back to halfway inactivity. For those of you who can't be bothered to read such a long post: IN BRIEF: BOTH PVP AND RP REACH THE SAME CONCLUSION, AND ARGUING OVER AND DISTANCING THE TWO MAKES FOR A WORSE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.

Agreed. They said I think that all ships will be unpurchasable after release. E.z. This is only intended to get money for production. So long as it doesn't continue into release, I'm happy.

So, yeah. Making an RP Org in Star Citizen for release in like 2 yrs, I have the page and stuff set up. It'll be like section 31 from star trek. We can probably label ourselves in dogfighting, so if anyone has star citizen and wants to dogfight and stuff before RP Release. Link below. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/orgs/NAN050

are the rp defaulters the bourgeois

PVP has led to LESS conflict? I've seen a lot more angry people because of it. People can whitewash it all they want, PVP-Default and RP-default alike are plauges on this community, and letting both sides of the s**t arguments stay on this forum and power-play and scream at each other for years has only contributed to this places rotting carcass.

((Not a part of this, just agreeing with Raptor. Many people don't 'respawn' in roleplay, these being suicides and otherwise, but since the people don't actually know that these people were suicidal or depressed or whatever, they would still notice there is a sizeable risk of not coming back to life after death. Sorry if I'm intruding.))
