As a player who has had nothing whatsoever to do with this event or anyone or any guild involved, I would like to propose a big THANK YOU to the GM and Dev teams who dedicate so much of their time and skills on a VOLUNTARY basis without reward or, apparently, appreciation to provide the rest of us with a platform to play out our fantasies and party with our friends completely FREE. This event being no exception.

I received a forwarded email from my brother appealing for everyone to spread the word about Madeleine McCann. I thought I would reach more people in Europe by posting here. Madeleine's uncle says:

"As you are aware my niece, Madeleine, is still missing and I am asking everyone I know to send this as a chain letter i.e. you send it to everyone you know and ask them to do the same, as the story is only being covered in Britain, Eire and Portugal. We don't believe that she is in Portugal anymore and need to get her picture and the story across Europe as quickly as possible. Suggestions are welcome." Phil McCann

The official website is here:  http://www.findmadeleine.com/

Please post on any other discussion forums that you use, especially if you live in Europe and in your own language. Thank you.

  A very Marry Christmas and a happy new year to all from me and Janner.

 
Although I don't entirely agree, I understand (after much argument) what Janner means:

In the settings of the game "pets" are magical creatures tied to and controlled by a magical ring. The owner/bearer of the ring can summon his/her "pet" which can sit in one place and look pretty and sooner or later disappears. So to make these creatures artificially run and jump around is out of character, it is not normal behaviour for "pets". We can roleplay and imagine our pets doing anything we like.

Similarly; Klyros cannot fly although we understand that in the future they might, so if a dev or gm were to make a klyros fly round the plaza it would be out of character even though it is probable that a creature with wings would realistically be able to fly.

Don't confuse OOC/IC within roleplay with Janner's meaning of something behaving as we expect (IC) or something acting abnormally (OOC)

I hope this clears up the misunderstanding.

I would have to disagree, im English and have never been offended by this word. I think the majority of english people would probably agree with me.

So if I say to you; it's buggers like you that let the side down; you will not think I am being rude or offensive?

Because I find the change to be unnecessary and silly Well, and for the sake of the discussion. I am curious as to how far you want to take this: do you want to see "bugger" removed from the game entirely, and have players receive warnings for using that word? Should it go onto the official censor list? Do you want it erradicated from PlaneShift forever?

Genuine questions.

I find the use of the word by an NPC unnecessary and silly and a poor example to young people. No one could be offended by a friend calling them "silly bugger" but if a stranger called me a bugger I would be highly offended. I certainly would complain if a shop assistant called me a bugger because I asked them a question. Wouldn't you?
