The Hydlaa Plaza / Making fun of noobs
« on: May 08, 2003, 01:48:51 pm »
In every multiplayer game, noobs get picked on.. except one.  Have you ever noticed that everyone doesn\'t make fun of babies for not knowing the rules or asking stupid questions?

Poetry, Comedy, and other. / Trefalgr's Secret OOC
« on: April 11, 2003, 05:37:10 pm »
Ok, well Trefalgr\\\'s Secret was getting over-crowded with OOC stuff, so just put it here from now on, unless you attach it to the beginning or end of something else. I just don\'t like all those only OOC posts. It messes it up, kinda.  

Anywho, I guess now we need Wormtail\'s response before we can do anything else. Will he join us?

The Hydlaa Plaza / Being all-powerful
« on: April 08, 2003, 07:45:19 pm »
Here are a couple observations I\'ve made about being omnipotent (all-powerful), omnipresent (everywhere at once), and omniscient (all-knowing):

Omnipotent:
It is impossible to be omnipotent. For example, if you were omnipotent, you would be able to make a bar of metal so strong, that even you can\'t bend it. Now, if you can bend it, you aren\'t all-powerful because you can\'t make one that you can\'t bend, and if you can\'t bend it, you aren\'t all-powerful either, because you can\'t bend it.

Omnipresent:
It would suck to be omnipresent.  First of all, your nose would constantly be up your own butt. Everyone else\'s too.  I\'m sure you can think of other places you would never want to be, but always would be.

Omniscient:
Knowing everything would also suck.  For example, after you\'ve played a game so long, it gets boring. You already know most of the secrets of the game, it has just lost its excitement.  Now, imagine if you already new all the secrets to EVERY game, and not just every game, but EVERYTHING! Then there would be no more excitement, no surprise.  Your life would be extraordinarily dull and there is nothing you could do for fun, not read books or watch movies, or anything.

I put up this post because I miss the controversial and intellect-filled posts that were common a month ago, when I first joined, like the evolution thread and the New Program that Reads Minds thread. So, please post anything that requires thought here.

Poetry, Comedy, and other. / Short Stories
« on: April 02, 2003, 03:36:35 pm »
Here is a page for short stories in the Planeshift Universe. Like really short stories.  For example:

A Kran and a Nolthrir were playing pool.  The Kran was losing horribly, so he punched a whole in the center of the table and all the balls fell in.  The Nolthrir didn\'t argue.

General Discussion / Forum problem?
« on: April 01, 2003, 05:31:12 pm »
Has anyone else had a problem with the forum reacting very slowly? It never happened to me before it went down two times recently.  At first I thought it was just my computer, but I\'ve tried on 3 different computers and it keeps doing it. Maybe they all suck, I don\'t know.  Anyway, basically what happens is whenever I click something it takes forever to process it.

Poetry, Comedy, and other. / What happened to the three word story!?
« on: April 01, 2003, 09:43:59 am »
Hey! Why was the three word story deleted? It was great!  It had more posts than any other thread! Why would you do such a heinous act, Vengeance (I\'m assuming it\'s Vengeance. If it\'s not, sorry. Insert name in here if Vengeance didn\'t delete it: Why would you do such a heinous act, )!?

Wish list / Finite economy
« on: March 28, 2003, 12:38:26 am »
In many games that have been out for more than a couple weeks, money becomes negligible and only trade is implemented.  That never happens in real life. I suggest a finite money system. Now the money could change as the game goes on and more players join, but it would be added in by the devs.  If monsters drop money, you could have a pool for every monster type or every monster in a certain area.  This pool is all the money these monsters could possibly drop.  If you kill one, you get a fraction of that total pool and however much you get is subtracted off.  If a monster killed someone, that person would lose some of their money and it would be added to the monster\'s pool. Therefore, tough monsters that frequently kill people would give more money when you kill them.  As for getting money when you start out, there would be a pool for that, too. Then each new player would get a small fraction of that pool to start out.  The fraction would be larger if you chose rich or very rich when creating your character.

Wish list / pseudo-cheating
« on: March 21, 2003, 12:33:21 pm »
Hey developers, I have a question.
Is there going to be any way to stop people from creating lots of new characters with Magic Item, Rich, and Very Rich and giving it to their old character or a friend who will give it to their old character. This seems like it could quickly ruin the game\'s economy. Also, is money going to be finite or infinite. I\'m sure it would be easier to make it infinite, but money would maintain value if it were finite.  In most MMORPGs, money quickly becomes of no value and only bartering is really worth it. With these potential exploits, that would just speed up.

Wish list / combat
« on: March 20, 2003, 11:28:18 pm »
I think the introduction of combat would be a good thing to see. I apologize if this has already come up in another threads, but I checked the most recent threads and couldn\'t find anything in just the names.  It would give some purpose to actually playing the game. It\'s hard to find bugs after they\'ve all been found... If there was a PvP area somewhere in Hydlaa, that would be cool. Even if we didn\'t get any experience, it would open up many more places for potential bugs to lurk and it\'s got to be done sooner or later, and the sooner the better, as far as I\'m concerned.  We could test fight techniques, hp and stamina loss, the use of skills, death and penalties that result therin.

Forum and Website Discussions / I love this place...
« on: March 19, 2003, 05:17:38 pm »
Man, this forum is great. I posted over forty messages before even playing the game.  There are a lot of smart people here. A lot of stupid people, too, but.....
Anyway, I find many comments intellectually stimulating and many stories and poetry are very good.  I spend a good deal of my free time here.  How long has this forum been around. I don\'t see how Kiern has over 1000 posts. That\'s insane!  Oh well. I\'m not sure what the point of this thread was. Hum-dee-dum...

Poetry, Comedy, and other. / Poems
« on: March 12, 2003, 10:08:34 pm »
I figured I\'d compile together as many poems as I could find, so people can get them all in one place. If you have new poems, you can put them here.

The Hydlaa Plaza / Quotes
« on: March 12, 2003, 07:18:35 pm »
Here is a board for any good quotes anyone knows.
For example, here\'s one from Spoonjoppa:

Why test your luck at killing two birds with one stone, when you could take out a whole flock with one bazooka.
