I was just wondering who everyone thinks is the most loyal Planeshift Fan?
There are 3 categories.
They are:
\"Most Devoted In-Game.\"
\"Most Devoted on the Forums.\" - this can be a non-moderator.
\"Most Devoted non-moderator on the Forums.\"
Format:
In-Game:
Forums:
Non-Mod:
Why?
Rules:
1. You can not vote for Yourself or a DEV Team member...
(We already know they are DEVoted to Planeshift! :D)
2. You do not have to vote in all categories for it to count.
- - <> - - Have Fun! - - <> - -
-
In-Game: I\'m the least devoted... so i am not there enough to know :D.
Forums: I have noticed that FESFES\'s posts wend up VERY fast... but i dont know if thats cuz hes devoted or bored (no offence FES). But i would have to say that i notice alot of people posting and taking part, but to give our guild a chance at the Alpha, i\'ll nominate IceFalcon.
Non-Mod: Look above.
-
In-Game: Hevrah
Forum: *shrugs*
non Mod: *shrugs*
-
In-game: Starjumper
Forums: Dunno
Non-Mod: I don\'t really get the point of this one. If a player is not a) an ingame person, and b) a forum poster... what else is there? :P
-
In-Game : Zelphira
for its devotion to the French community: site, patch, guild, explanation, French technical forum, french translation, ?
-
Moogie: They\'re just being biased against us X(
Anyway,
InGame: Umm not in-game much but I\'d say either Agara, Nilaya, Harvey, or Hevrah
Forums: Well in my opinion, I know you are all tired of hearing it, the loyal fans are the ones that have been here the longest.
Non-mods: Well I\'m with Moogie here if they\'re not mods then they\'re simply forum-users and in-gamers....
-
In-Game: 1~Hevrah 2~Shami 3~Agara
Forums: Moogs
Non-Mod: Forums~Kuiper!
-
In-Game : Cad
For me he\'s the best GM with Agara
and after Kada-El for all
-
IG: I\'m going to go with Agara because A) She is the first person I ever met there and B) She is the only person I have seen there every time I am on.
Forums: Moogie/Grono Duh. Nothing against Aendar but I have not seen you much of late.
Non-mod: ME! No, i can\'t nominate my self :(. I would have to say...hmmm devoted...Xordan is here a lot...and so is Zeraph...Thats a hard one. Devoted is a strong word. Ah! Kada-El! Where was my brain on that one? :D
You forgot to mention the most IRC devoted.
-
In-Game : Agara would be my first pick then shami then Nilaya
-
Oooh of course! Thanks XpYtZ... Kada most definitely gets my vote too. How could we forget about her?! ;(
-
I don\'t know about this in-game/non-mod/blahblahblah...I just say Kada.
-
Yay, a poll! And thanks, Zelphira :)
- In-Game: tricky one, as I would have a hard time choosing between a few of them. You\'ll have to deal with it I\'m afraid, but my vote are going to Kada, Nilaya and Mayia. Those three are people who have been playing regularly for so long, and who have been most kind and helpful to other people.
- Forums: definitely Mogura
- Non-Mod: I haven\'t read enough of them to vote here, sorry.
-
I\'m also very excited to learn about CB, but this kind of thread is taking it a step over the line. If you wish to worship someone as your idol, feel free to do so, but it\'s not a matter for the whole community to hear you bragging about who you know, or who you think is the best, or isn\'t the best. It may seem unfair, but I\'m closing this thread, and that\'s final. If you wish to tell some person that you like him/her, you\'re very welcome to send a PM, but when it comes to sharing private oppinions that can\'t be discussed in any way, this isn\'t the right place.
-
Thread opened. Grono, pm for you.
-
^ *Scary organ music* ^
....
Can somebody PM me with who this Zelphira is, and just what he did? I hate not knowing somebody. Especially when everybody elese seems to. :(
-
A guild leader, X. Don\'t bother too much though, those votes are fishy fishy. ;)
-
Names like Kada and Gronomist come to mind (funny how the girls tend to rack up votes).. Aendar perhaps..
IMO the most loyal fans are the devs :)
-
I see no point in this cuz its not like the devs are gonna pick from the list WE make but here it goes:
In-Game: Starjumper always on when I go on, nice, fun much more
Forums: Mogura friendly, active, fogiving, a lot more
Non-Mod: Depthblade very active, just enough to not be annoying like I am (sorry, I dont mean to be) nice, forgiving, fun, much more :)
-
Myself ofc.. nah, j/k.. I\'d nominate Grono for the forums part, but I think she hates this thread, so I think I\'d be better off not voting on anyone.. :P
-
In-game=Hevrah
Forum=Whemyfield
Non-mod=Xordan
Bwaha...only one of these was a serious answer, guess which one :P
-
Stupidest thread ever, inactive people voting about whos most dedicated ingame.
Agara is by far the most active person ingame spending about 9 hours average per day online and ingame.
(theres already been one nomination for an inactive -_- )
Judging forum dedication right now is too difficult as those with true fanship are not encouraging all the crap thats being posted lately and thusly not posting in them.
Id have to say lynx (and myself for that matter) are probably up there, and so far have been ignored because of this.
Ive got several more reasons why this is stupid but im poisoning
-
Hmm wouldn\'t those who are truly loyal to the forums not run away when things went bad, instead wouldn\'t they try to fix things *cough*Aendar*cough* ...
Anybody bring up the fact that I supported Aendar and many a tria will go missing from your pouch :)
-
Hmm alot of people seem to be voting for agara and hevrah but when I played I never saw them.
I cant really vote on the ingame thing but on the forums I would have to say depthblade
-
*remembers he ows waylander 50 tria*
great, just great
I dont see agara that much but it might be a time zone thing
-
I\'m assuming this thread is irrelevant to anybody actually being picked, but Cad and Aineko get in for contributions and awesomeness and Nilaya for being the best person evar and so she can tell me whatever she isn\'t NDA\'ed too =D.
-
I don\'t like this thread but I\'m still going to give my input. The input is that this thread is pointless and makes everything negative, I believe. I mean there are probably hundreds of loyal fans out there that we just never heard of and when they see this they feel crappy.
I mean the people you guys selected are pretty loyal but I mean that doesn\'t make everyone else \"less loyal,\" just because they aren\'t recognized or popular. It isn\'t right to say whose the most loyal. I hope this thread doesn\'t influence the outcome of who is chosen on the first wave of the testing team.
-
Ok if you don\'t like the thread or thinking it is low..then don\'t open it, don\'t read it, don\'t even think about it. That way you won\'t have to come and make the same post as others have come up with saying how you think its all bad and stuff. Its just peoples opinions on a subject...if you think this kind of labeling is bad why not go onto the Hydlaa and make your own post saying its bad...because thats where all the none sense goes ^^
I still don\'t understand the 2) spot...
-
lol, I doubt that this will have much effect on who gets picked. the list has probably already been made. It would really be who has been with Planeshift the longest with some sort of releationship with the devs. usually if they have consistantly been in the IRC Dev channel & contributed over the years...
it\'s really just who the Forum Community thinks is most loyal...
In-Game: Agara
Forum: Mogura
-
Hey about irc how am I supp get to #planeshiftguilds (or whatever) am I just supp type the whole thing and it comes?
Umm did Russian Vodka nominate me? wow I thought I would the last person anyone would consider... I guess I just have a little more respect than I think I do around here :)
Oh and no offense taken. The story about my participation is that I like forums a lot so I come on al lot. I love the ps community (not to be confused with the guild :P), and about 25% of the posts are because I have nothing better to do since the private MU server got hacked and I havent been able to play for almost a month :(. So I would do the next best thing, forums :). Of course this isnt the only big forum I come to or else I would have a post count of like a billion :)
-
one person all around.. Kada.. being the most loyal doesnt mean the highest post count, (meaning you spam alot) or spending the most time ingame looking for crystals, or being idle on irc. its staying with the game and giving it time when its let you down once or twice.
-
Okay so I don?t exactly agree with the way this has been done ? I agree with WW (no, not about who is most loyal :P), about there being so much more to loyalty than what you see in a snapshot of forum activity or who happens to be the person that is most often in game at this moment in time - that all changes and you must look at the big picture. The active player of today is tomorrow?s missing person.
There is so much more than forum and game, there other considerations such as how people have developed their characters here, the input they have given to the project, their dedication to the community outside the remit of the forum and the game e.g. creation of successful guilds, organisations and religions. All these things take a great deal of time, effort and loyalty.
All that said if I were to choose one person it would probably be Moogie ? she has been through good times here and she has been through the very worst of times here, yet her loyalty and commitment have never faltered despite adversity.
There are many others who would follow though and make it to my short list e.g. Hevrah, Aendar, Kwartz, Xordan, Nilaya, Cad, Gronomist, Kiern, etc.
Btw, thanks so much to the people who gave me a mention!

In-game: Agara
Forum: Moogie
Too bad we can\'t vote for ourselves, I mean, just because I don\'t do a lot of pointless posting, doesn\'t mean that I\'m a very dedicated person to this game. Shame that the DEVs won\'t be able to reward loyalty unless they see it. Oh well, no one said life\'s fair.
Edit: Oops, sorry, I wrote that and then went back and read the other posts, and realize that I was pointlessly restating what\'s already been said, sorry.
-
Oh well, everyone else casts their vote so I guess I can just as well do it too. Although, many of you say you\'re unsure who to vote for and the like, but if it comes to loyal players, my vote definitely goes to Kada. She\'s the only person who I\'m (still) unsure whether or not has been around longer than myself, and that\'s definitely quite an achievement, and you really deserve some credit for that. However... Talad really deserves the most credit of all. He\'s been with PS for over 10 years, and it\'s his fault this game even exists, and some of you dare say he\'s not the most loyal fan here, then... then I\'ll do something very cruel and evil to you to make you suffer as much as humanly possible. Now, you may say that he\'s the creator of the project, so he can\'t be a fan, but that\'s not true at all. If you\'re not a fan of what you create, you wont get far. He has the enthusiasm and skills we all dream of, and he\'s capable of giving us all something to look forward to and enjoy. That really requires a lot. More than what most can give, and I admire him for that. So Talad, you just keep on doing the good work, and Kada... well, stick with it and keep your tavern open always. :)
-
well since everyone else is doing this and by not helping I\'m not being part of the community so here it goes...
I also vote for Kada-El for most loyal fan. I mean have you seen her website and what she has done to help the community grow? Character stories, polls, forums, guild lists, I mean dang...
I won\'t say any of the Devs or any Mods because we don\'t have to question their loyalty, it would be an understatement to say anything about them.
-
Just responding to a couple of things (and in no particular order):
Votes here will not influence the decisions of the devs, and they shouldn\'t influence the decisions of anybody else either. Some people seem to think that newcomers reading this will automatically like a few named people and then treat everyone else as unpopular or \"unloyal\". If you think that, then please go away, and stop bugging me about it.
Windwalker and Kada are both absolutely right in their opinions of what really makes a \"loyal\" PS fan. A post count doesn\'t make you a good person; I can think of a few decent examples of this off the top of my head. But I would hope most people wanting to post their opinions in this thread will realise and understand this, and not just name their best friend, but name someone who dedicates themselves to the project with their time, their playing, getting involved with the community, helping out where they can, making friends both on the forums and ingame, etc. Loyalty is about dedication and commitment, not necessarily popularity alone.
Kada: During the tough times, I did almost falter, but I learnt valuable lessons from the past and apply them now and always. That is the sub-reason of keeping this thread open; I made the decision to reopen it, and no amount of nagging will change it. I can\'t please everyone, so the line has to be drawn somewhere.
If anyone would like to know the primary reason for the re-opening, send me a PM and I will be happy to explain. Please send a PM to respond to anything I\'ve said here that doesn\'t regard the current topic. In other words: don\'t let this be a cause for a wave of OT. ;) Thanks.
(Btw, Depthblade: My sentiments exactly. :) )

Be damned, Luca! It\'s all your fault! :D
Seriously speaking, though, popularity and contests seem to be the rule of thumb of every community alike to this. Moreso in contexts where some have the sensation that it is all a competition (Powerlevelling and looting is a prime example of this, in my opinion), or sometimes the competitive nature of their own spirits.
I try to ignore these form of polls, I do not find them attractive or contstructive at the least and there is always someone who (consciously or not) takes it the wrong way. The result often leads to animosity which could have very well been prevented by simply refraining from making such trivialities available to the public eye.
I recall another huge contest with many nominations and categories, some disdainful such as \"Most Hated\", \"Best Rule Breaker\", \"Least Trustworthy\", etcetera (Which I personally disapproved of).
While it may not have been deliberate, and the intentions may have been good, positive and \"in the name of fun\", these little contests can be harmful and to a decadent extent.
Nobody wants to be pointed out as a bad element or see his/her efforts at being accepted in the community go overlooked (And social psychology studies suggest us that the average mind acts in relation to the crowd he or she wishes to belong to).
Therefore, I refrain from casting a vote, or even giving a simple name and a pat on the back. Biased as it is, my opinion is that this is not the appropriate time or place for such conducts.
Nonetheless I do think that given the opportunity to express my sentiments on the subject even if I am not in agreement with the original premise, I may as well take the chance.
Nobody who voices their disagreement or refusal to comply to the poll should be shunned with a \"Don\'t like it? Go away!\". (Of course, I can understand this happening when the disagreement is expressed in a downrightly lame and uncivilised form)
And for those who are concerned, I took the liberty to search for some quotes on loyalty. For those who like to do some introspection. ;)
\"Lack of loyalty is one of the major causes of failure in every walk of life.\" - Napoleon Hill
\"Most important in a friendship? Tolerance and loyalty.\" - J.K. Rowling
\"An ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness.\" -Elbert Hubbard.
\"If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans\" - James Herriot (A vet, obviously)
And I say that loyalty is not to be measured or compared. Loyalty is to be treasured and smiled upon, as the precious and invaluable gift it is from one person to another.
Have a very nice day, and excuse the length of the rambling.

woo noones voted for me
*partys in his incognitoisum*

Yeah, sry about that Seperot, I just didn\'t see a \"who would you want to see in pain the most\" category :P
-
Well, as a newb I\'m not sure I cant say I can tell who\'s the most addicted fan, but I can say that I always see Agara online and Gronomist on the forums, so, to me they are quite addicted. But I guess that many of those who will read this post are addicted too so... I\'ll say you are all totally insane :D and I think I\'ll become just like you :)
-
What, are we in high school??? Just \'cuz you\'re not picked doesn\'t mean you should let it hurt your feelings....

Well after reading this and a few seconds of deep thinking I have come to a conclusion.
We all vote on how active the person is, what they do to help out, what their post count is, how long they have been around, ect. But the truth is that the only people who can tell how loyal somone is to PS would be the people themselvs. For example, no one could really know how loyal I am to PS but myself. I could say that I would give my life for it, I would pay $500 a month for it ect. but it all comes down to what you really think of PS. So, there is no way to tell how loyal somone else is to PS unless you are that person. I would give examples of loyalty but they would be of me which wouldnt be right. I dont want to use myself as \"the true loyal person\" because the truth is that somone who has only been around for a week may be more loyal than all of us.
-
PM to FESFES: Give me $500 a month or I\'ll take your Planeshift away!! :D
I think polls like this can\'t reveal loyalty itself but *public evidence* of loyalty, although some people would argue that love, faith, loyalty etc. without any evidence don\'t really exist at all.
-
Hah! This is just a fun poll everyone. Get over it. More importantly, keep to the topic...I don\'t recall it asking what your definition of loyalty or popularity is and that\'s why no one is picking you.
I\'d give more, but everyone has already gone over everyone I know (and a lot more)! Man... :O
-
I\'m rather dedicated, I think.

I think the devs will find some people that have expierence with testing beta/alpha-games and those people will better do a good job or else ... *swings a club with rusty nails*
Nah but seriously if the testing is getting ahead good we can all enjoy the great content of CB without show-stoppers :)
-
iam sooooooo loyal, i should be on that list, i must check this site like once a month!!! thats alot more than most people!!

Don\'t be mean with Zetsumei, I\'m sure he could help with the testing of the /ban command :P
-
Aww no one voted for me :P. Anyway I think anyone with the name of Cheese should get to test it (I think it could be a trend name a product and say it when ever you can.) Honestly now I think Seperot should test it if he just adds me on his MSN!!!! (Ya know I think he is going to take the hint someday)
-
I abjure my previous votes, and vote on the ToS as the happiest bunch of metalheadz around..! \\m/
oh, and I vote for you too Watcher, so don\'t you go partying like Seperot for not getting voted on and stuff... although since Seperot is in the ToS I guess I voted for him too.. bah..

Thats good, cause I only got voted for once. :D Just kidding, I really dont care either way, I know how dedicated I am to the game, and I dont care about what others think anyway.
But, just for fun...
In-Game: Definately not me, but from what have seen, Agara
Forums: Disregarding post counts and all, I would say Moogie is most dedicated to the forums.
Non-Mod: Other than the Mods, I would say... Depthblade. At this time, he is always on the forums etc. However, I haven\'t been here forever so I can\'t say it with any accuracy. Judging from post-counts and her title, I would think that Kada used to be one of the most dedicated on the forums, nowadays she just hangs out in the tavern. :rolleyes:
-
I forgot to vote for Nilaya...
if she isn\'t dedicated I don\'t know who is...
-
Loyal:
Steadfast in allegiance to one\'s homeland, government, or sovereign.
Faithful to a person, ideal, custom, cause, or duty.
Dedicated:
To commit (oneself) to a particular course of thought or action: dedicated ourselves to starting our own business. See Synonyms at devote.
Some of the smart people might notice that Loyal and Dedicated isn\'t the same thing. Joining PS and playing non-stop for a month doesn\'t make you loyal. The fact that you\'re able to stick with something you love... that makes you loyal.
-
Grono, I can only guess that people who spent days and days on PS are sticking with something they love.
So are they loyal dedicated fans?
I think the people who will be taken are the one that can be trusted by PS team, because several devs knows this persons and appreciate his/her behaviour.
Personally I\'m not for taking the ppl who want power more than anything else or are in PS since a long time but rather ppl who\'ve been helpful for PS.
That\'s my opinion, kiss :]
-
Well Djagg, there are still those people who play nonstop for a month or two and then get bored and leave for something new and better. That\'s what many people are like these days. Can\'t settle with one thing, they must always go to somewhere new after a while. They do it simply because they\'re hoping to get up and be part of that small elite, which every MMOG has. The ones who know all the bugs, who have the best gear, who kill the biggest mobs and so on. The people most others admire. And if you play like that, whether you succede or not, you\'re not loyal. Even if you dedicated your life to PS... for a month or two.
-
So who plays exclusively PS? :P
And not only is Djagg right(part2), but he\'s also part of the aparatus, so gather crowds,listen AND rememebr. :)

Actually I think it is just rampant cases of ADD ;)

I think this is true in alot of cases, but by no means all of them. In the case of PlaneShift, you\'d have to have pretty much no life and no need for mental stimulation to stay within your definition of \"loyal\", as there really isn\'t that much to do in the actual game. Personally, I think it\'s fine for people to play other games while waiting for CB, and I don\'t think this makes them unloyal to this game. Infact, it\'s quite healthy... or I\'d imagine 80% of CB\'s population would consist of vegetables whos brains long sinced withered away from disuse. :)
-
... besides, it may bring back new ideas to Planeshift.
And like Djaggernaut said, loyalty is not only feeding on something regularly, but also bringing something to it.

Sure sure, I never said you can\'t play two games at once. I\'m simply referring to the people who play MB for a month, then disappear without a trace and then maybe reappear after a year claiming they\'re as active as they always were, or don\'t reappear at all. From that to playing MB occasionally and/or keeping in touch with the community while also playing another game... Big diffrence. :)

Though I wouldn\'t say play, but it\'s the only use this computer has besides research.
Class over yet? I remember this being a poll.

erm...
definetly moogie if you dont agree look here:
http://www.seperot.com/moogie/bio.html
not only active EVERY day but also very into the RP sceen which is the base of this \'game\' now and hopefuly will be in the future.
-
There are lots of people \'into the rp scene,\' that also have intricate background stories and well-thought out characters ;)
-
Hmm all out loyalty is Kada....for the tavern....and Cad...for helping Kada with the tavern
And they are both great people...Hevrah too, cause he is fun to bug
Karyuu made the desert mod, Elscha made a....well a lot
Ciry+Aineko both made mods that made ps mb easier to play
All the devs...well....created the game (or are creating the next)
Xordan+Auran for making the Cabal which has been one of the most talked about guilds in all of PS and that gives much of the ps community something to hate and strive against.
Kada again for the old folks home (AKA: OI)
Zetsumei, without him people would have fought more, he gave many somebody to hate....
Kixie, the play that never went through...
Aendar, for trying to clean up the guild forums...more of a job then one man can handle...or 12 at that...or 20...
Mogura, do I really have to say....
Grono, though she may be getting a superiority complex :P
Bora, the blitzers
All the guild leaders
All the guild members who are active
But none of the noobs....stupid noobs :P
Loyalty is hard to measure, we are all loyal, just different way...
-
Person #1: PS sucks! Its the worst games ever! Anyone who made it should die!
Efflixi: *shoots person #1*
See how loyal I am :D
Oh and waylander you forgot the Efflixi sectiong for someone to be annoying..... am I really that annoying? I dont try to be....
-
Nice retort, Kada ^^
And thanks Waylander. Though, you forgot to put Psybur. Without him (and partially me), there wouldn\'t be such defined rules on cheating. With me they finally set a precedent by actually doing something about it, and Psybur\'s actions got them to put it in writing and to spell it out nice and proper.
And what was with all the votes for Shami earlier? Course, I don\'t know all that much about him as I spend all of my free time around him trading insults.
-
I\'m not sure what angle to approach loyal from...
I\'m going to say who I am most impressed with, and respect.
In-game: Nilaya, she\'s there whenever I am, always helping people out and things like that, plus she\'s a really nice person. Also Armeen, (for obvious reasons huh Waylander?)
Forums: Mogura, she\'s done more on the forums than anyone else I\'ve seen, and seems to be a fair and honest mod.
EDIT:
Non-Mods: I\'ll say Golbez, I respect his opinions and he makes many valid points, thought often we don\'t see eye-to-eye.
Also, Golbez I\'m impressed by the fact you are the only one to complain about this thread and NOT vote on it. Why complain about something you don\'t like, then partake in it. That\'s a little hypocritical don\'t you think?
-
Well, first of all...

Not necessarily. I exercised my power to disagree with the premise of the post, and the right to choose whether or not to partake in it. I merely voiced my opinion, which would have been the same disregarding where I posted: In this very same thread, or starting a new one. Although I deemed it neither practical, nor relevant enough to open a new thread concerning the value a poll like this has in the community.
I do not feel that pitching in my opinion, which in this case was in conflict with the original post, is hypocritical. I would have been so if I had voiced my disagreement with the poll and cast my vote all the same.
Hypocrisy is defined as the act of prophetising a certain course of action and then failing to comply to what one said to be \"right\". I may have discorded, and made this evidently public, but that alone does not make me a hypocrit. And the fact that I discord most of the time with what seems to be the majority, and that I am in other occasions alone in my opinion is totally irrelevant. :]
Once more, apologies for the length of the installment, I always get a bit carried away,
- Golbez
-
very tricky to point out who is more \'loyal\' or \'dedicated\' or whatever you want to call it.
I\'ve decided that no one deserves it more then the other... i wanted want to cause conflict between all my friends about who i love more ;)

I think your \"installment\" was unnecessary, Golbez. As I understand Adeli, (s)he merely greeted your choice and asked for an opinion on the others.;)

I\'m in a group that\'s the Second Least Loyal member.
I just found out about this game, and have never played.
I\'m more loyal then those that never found out about this game.
Is the demo game still open? I\'m a bit confused with the release of Molecular Blue (read through the forum).

I feel that the most divoted members are not those that spend all day on the forums, ingame, or as a mod. The most divoted fans are those who just love the game and are not forced into neglecting their life in order to keep up with the community. I feel that for every single game out there, people expect you to devote countless time to the game. Some simply do not have that time and are still as devoted to the game as the junkies who dont blink at the forums.
An example is somone with a girlfriend or wife (with kids possibly) who can manage to devote their few hours a week on the game instead of say... sittin on the couch watchin tv. THESE are the real hardcore fans. He who spends countless hours on the game and neglects his frineds/family is not a true fan, but just plain ol\' lame.
This has NO application to the developers as they fall into a different catagory.
-do not take this as me complaining about not having enough time and yet wanting to be considered a dire fan!
Anywho, hope you all enjoy this, and dont neglect yo- kids for this game :)

PlaneWalker: Molecular Blue, the release that has been public for 1.5 years now, is still running. It will continue to run throughout the Crystal Blue testing phases.

Sorry Golbez, I wasn\'t clear...
Thanks Lynx for the clarification.
I meant you were the only one who didn\'t like the thread and as such did not vote. The others were hypocritical by complaining and then voting.
Lynx: \"he\" This was a temporary name, as my very first char was a female dermorian called Adeli. Now I use a male by name of Tyralus, but there were complications in making the forum name Tyralus, and thus kept this.
Tyralus is supposed to be an Enki, but every enki I tried to make made me linkdead... so he\'s a Ylian right now.

As i have been totally stuck in PS for 1 or 2 month I guess that makes me a total vegetable ... *looks at the beans in his plate and sighs* I have to do something, ok i\'ll go help some newbs in Hydlaa (when I say newb I mean newber than me of course :D).
But grono dont worry I\'ll never claim to be the most active 1337 player of PS now that I read more and more posts on this forum. I realize that many people are \"loyal\" to this project since they play from times to times, help newbs, post new ideas, if you want to list them, good luck... and to elect the \'most loyal\' i guess you will choose one of your friend so to me, it\'s kind of useless to ask this question ... as I have no friends ... *starts crying*

Kada-El. She has been here forever... I wouldn\'t be surprised if she pre-dated Planeshift 3D, back when it was text based. I can\'t remember for sure, but I\'m pretty sure I saw her around during the likes of Atomic Blue, and thats when I started, so I have no idea how long before that. Though I didn\'t meet her until I started FSO in the beginning of MB.

I\'m surprised this is still going, I still think Moogie and Gronomist hands down. (Talad and the devs are exceptions).

Congratulations, you just explained what devotion is. :)
What you\'re talking about is loyalty. You can be loyal even if you aren\'t able to play 10 hours per day, but if you\'re devoted to PS, you play 10 hours per day, or more. Two completely diffrent words with very diffrent meanings, even though many people often confuse them or don\'t even know they\'re not the same.

This is why I say Moogie and yourself are loyal, you support the community, aid the devs, and contribute whenever, or wherever is possible. The devs are loyal, obviously because this is their creation, and they want to see it realised.
I mean loyal to the project, not the game.
