Greenmoon Dynasty: The Return of the Heir

(http://darkempire.xordan.com/wp-content/themes/ithilien/images/bg.jpg)

Flavour Text
"He returns at last.

It has been a while since the Empress Dowager Morwen Greenmoon was placed on the Imperial Throne by Chancellor Parallo Dorage. During her regency the Empire went through its recovery, by the direct leadership efforts of Chancellors Goldsmith and Jekkar. The previous oversaw the Empire's structural healing, the latter implemented Dakkru as the new religion, adding Her divine motivation to the Imperial Cause.

But the time for Chancellors is over. The rightful heir, Khado Threesouls Greenmoon, is once more among the Imperials. With him he brought renewed vigor and improved ideals. As soon as he arrived he changed the Empire's inner workings by reestablishing the Over Council, tuning Morwen's Decrees and finally granting his father's wish.

The Dark Empire now rises from the shadows, to stand tall and fulfill the Imperial Cause."


Brief Description
At the Dark Empire we roleplay a group of Yliakum denizens who wish to found their own nation, so they can fully pursue the blight that plagues their Goddess Dakkru. The Imperials are usually stern, quaint and very dedicated to their rituals, lore and family. Ambition is what gathers the heterogeneous, strong personalities and professions within. The ambition to satisfy personal goals, while advancing the Imperial Cause.


Structure
The Empire's structure is amongst the oldest and most well established. Despite the epoch, the Imperials organize themselves by profession and hierarchy, taking advantage of everyone's full potential.

Forces: The Imperials are organized into Forces, in accordance to the functions they perform:

Hierarchy:
The Dark Empire relies on hierarchic leadership which does not communicate between Forces. It has 4 main, self explanatory ranks that follow: Imperial -> Officer -> Overseer -> Overlord (1 Overlord per Force).
Aspirants are not considered Imperials and do not respond to a single Force, but to both. The Emperor is above both Forces.

Imperial Houses: The Imperial Houses are renowned families within the Empire to whom the command of the Forces, and soon the Guilds, belongs to. Current Houses: Greenmoon (Imperial Bloodline), Goldsmith (Dusk Force Warden).

The Council: Constituted by the Emperor, the two Overlords, the Shadowlord, the Archpriest and an elected Imperial, the Council works to solve the Empire's most pertinent issues: law and conduct breaking, Empire-wide modifications, diplomacy and Imperial Guild crediting are some of the issues most commonly debated.

Law: The Imperial Law is guided by common sense and precedent cases. The Council currently manages it.

Imperial Log & Decrees: These are documents which describe the Empire's current structure and diplomacy status, signed by the Emperor, or by an appointed Chancellor in case he is absent.

Join us!
Now that you know the basics about the Empire, you should be able to tell if you want to be a part of the effort. We're looking for more members to allow this project to grow and turn into something even greater, so we can keep being an entertained and entertaining part of PlaneShift.
Keep in mind that the Empire follows Dakkru, so your character can't show that he's an atheist. Other religions (Talad, Xiosia, Laanx) are tolerated.

Every joining member is expected to pass an "Aspiring" period. This means this character won't belong to the Empire until it proved its competence.
We assure you that it is worth it, even if you don't think a lemon is reward enough for you.

All contact should be done either through this thread, PM's or in-game.

(Thanks for the image Jekkar!)[/list]

The nice words aren\'t mine to take alone, though I thank you for them. You should see what I had in mind before chatting with my mates ^^.

Yes Asham, I almost forgot about the portuguese mythical aura. *Throws spanish daggers at Asham* xD.

Glad to see your still around Aendar, I thought you and the CV went inactive.

By the way just a quick note, anyone interested please PM myself and Sangwa. Likely though it will be Sangwa your dealing with as I am a rare sight on the forums ;) I am usually around on MSN though.

Thanks Xordan ^^. And we\'ll do our best to stay. Not always do you see a Planeshift thread where three Dark Empire members post (not outside our forums :P.) This is a good omen. :D

Kill the weak. We shall forgive you. Maybe. Ok we won\'t but kill them anyway. :P

Good luck to becomeing active once again :)

As I\'ve said we\'re thinking of staying for a long time, in an active way. So don\'t worry about that.

Join Phalanx, we could use more swords ;). Listen to Dorbian, world domination is nearer everytime we speak. We may be Evil but we\'re also good. Damn good. :P

By the way. I forgot to announce our new member, but I think you\'ve seen his name in the list.
Sir Jazeera Hlaaron is now a noble Soldier of the Dark Empire. May he fight gloriously under our banner and share our Victories.

We may have our ups and downs but the roots of this guild run deep. I don\'t think it will ever truly die as long as it has dedicated people like Sangwa ;)

Listen to them not Phalanx, to their wicked lies, and empty promises, you remind me of someone, yet I cannot recall of who, perhaps I knew your father once...perhaps...

Ha! Sir Jazeera Hlaaron, traitor, and a spy of Evil. Nothing is noble about him, I shall remember his treachery, I shall...

Post by: Jazeera on February 25, 2005, 02:57:50 pm
Why? I am honorable in my own wicked way 8) and you won\'t be calling our promises empty when you are lying at our feets, defeated and broken!.... and it\'s Hlaaron!!! not Hraalon or any other name HLAARON!!!!  X(

So tell me now? Do you plan to be as loyal to the Dark Empire as you were to Rebirth?

Post by: Sangwa on February 25, 2005, 06:16:04 pm
Thank you Princess Aelya, I do what I can. And sorry Jazeera :P.

John Thazer, you and your kind know nothing about loyalty or honor. You would sell your soul to destroy evil, even knowing that you would feed it by doing so.
Treachery is following the light as a pretext to slaughter. You care for no innocent, all you want is blood, and you can\'t admit it.
Now he has a chance of being loyal to those that are loyal to themselves. I\'m confident that he will take it and grow in power and in honor amongst our Soldiers.

Now is that so? Blood? Blood! I heard you many times, many said the same but we wish no blood, and certainly no innocents to die. But then what do you know about innocents, when you never been one.

Sorry about that. May I suggest that it might be in your interests to keep a tighter rein on your new members? Of course, letting them loose to start fights on your threads and then getting mods to delete their opponents is truly evil...

Niber is also active and Funhouse too, or we wouldn\'t have the site updated. And we do keep a tight rein on our members, but it doesn\'t help much when others have such loose reins on themselves.

We\'ve got a new member. The kran Laetherat is now a Soldier of the Dark Empire and will rain death on our enemies.

Just to mention that Jazeera is no longer a Dark Empire member, out of his own chosing. And also to point out that the Dark Alliance is no more, regardless of the Dark Empire and the Black Order still being allies.

Oh, and we\'re also recruiting. So, should you be interested in joinning the Dark Empire, then try to contact me in private.
Don\'t let the fact that we\'re an elitist guild bother you, the worst thing that might (probably) happen is that we won\'t recruit you. You\'ll get a free fresh lemon either ways.

Haha, the old alignment clash, right?

steps out of the shadow

The dark empire, hmm, I can\'t really say that a change in the current government would be bad at all. It\'s a huge muckheap, invested by the worms of corruption.

But I still are not sure if the Dark empire is what I would like to see holding the power.

This doesn\'t mean that I don\'t consider doing buisness with it.

Looks at Jazeera

Hmm I can\'t say it\'s a nice occasion to meet you again, but maybe you will turn out to be usefull in time.

But you should know, if you are Tybalt\'s enemy you are mine and Phinehas\' as well. You may be strong, but this would be a fight you would never ever survive.
Title:
Post by: Jazeera on May 22, 2005, 09:07:19 pm
Nice to see the Empire still alive, and Cyl if Tybalt and Phinehas considers me their enemy so be it... but let us not spam this thread with somekind of meaningless discussion... again
Title:
Post by: TheRedMonk on May 22, 2005, 09:20:20 pm
I agree that it\'s nice to see you are still around. It would be nice if you did something to show how you are still alive. Maybe that would attract new members...

Anyway, it\'s your guild and not mine hehe.

Good continuation

Post by: DepthBlade on May 22, 2005, 09:20:26 pm
Any progress in the \"Dark Empire\", new members that exceed all expectations, recent adventures, stories, anything? I have read of Jazeera leaving and that would be more gain then loss for you that swine likes to talk the talk but in the end he only talks himself in circles, much like a creature chasing his tail ;) Anyways please update us more on the guild, as much as I hate the evil of this realm I do enjoy my rivals existence :D

Post by: Cyl on May 22, 2005, 09:23:27 pm
I dont consider you as enemy, .., for now.

My impressions of the DE are pretty good. It is one of the few evil guilds who are not shouting \"Tremblzzz! The r0x0rzzz badz guyz are cominzzz!!!oneoneeleven11!!eleven\" but RP evil. there is a small difference between being evil and playing evil.

Everyone has its opinions, though I must say Kiern might be closer to the present truth.
Most members haven\'t found much in Yliakum that\'s worth fighting for. Not everyone enjoys spending time at pointless conversations or bashing monsters.
But I\'m happy roleplaying Dark Empire\'s Shadowmaster, if that\'s worth anything. :P

Just to mention that Kwartz isn\'t a part of the PS community, for quite a long while now. Anyway, just took his and Laetherat\'s name out of the list of members.

Laetherat, if you\'re still around somewhere, please talk to me.

Also, Jekkar has requested to become a Ghost instead of a Mageling.
So, don\'t go through the trouble of guarding your belongings and thoughts when he\'s near, he\'ll take them anyway.

Recent news: Thormor has joined the Dark Empire as a Mageling. May his mana be endless.

Congrats, and I hope to fight you someday...

Post by: Sangwa on August 09, 2005, 10:47:33 pm
We\'re not \"True Evil\". We\'re an Empire, our alignment is Lawful Evil and we want to dominate the world.

And may our steel meet and dance.

EDIT:

Her Magesty has trusted me the task of Regent of the Dark Empire. I\'m now the current official leader, until Princess Aelya returns.
Our website\'s content has been slightly modified; got rid of some typos and the Member, Ally, and Enemy lists are now updated.
We\'ve also added three new ranks: Dragoon, Wraith and Magus. These ranks have been created to give our members the oppurtunity to rise ranks in the guild. Check the first post of this thread for the \"poethic\" description. Or our site, since the rank descriptions have been added. I know, the Hierarchy chart hasn\'t been updated yet, but it will be, eventually. It\'s obvious where the new ranks fit anyway.

I have been asking when this was going to happen.  I had a feeling that you, Sangwa, would take it over because of Aelyas recent/ not so recent inactivity.  She leaves it in the hands of a very capable member of the communtiy.  Im sure DE will prosper and regain any respect it has lost.  I wish you the best of luck.
Title:
Post by: Sangwa on August 24, 2005, 04:09:09 pm
Thanks for the compliments Valbrandr. I\'ve been taking her place for quite a while, I was simply waiting to update the site in order to make it official.

I forgot to mention a rank though. There\'s a fourth new rank, that\'s called Aspirant. This is a new recruiting measure we\'re taking, in order to enlarge the Dark Empire\'s ranks.
The Aspirant rank is a trial rank. It\'s meant for players who are unknown to the Dark Empire and that wish to become full-fledged members.
Obviously only those who cause a good impression will be accepted as Aspirants. And needless to say, it takes time to become a Soldier, Mageling or Ghost. So if anyone is looking for a guild where you can raise in the ranks easily, then don\'t bother. Unless you\'re that good.

EDIT:
Jimmik Bleeb\'s Aspirant days have finally come to an end. I\'m glad to annouce that Jimmik is entitled to the rank of Soldier of the Dark Empire.
His oaths shall be made and his life dedicated to Her Magesty\'s cause.

The sweet smell of blood will dance upon the fields of battle.

Glory to the coming age of the Empire, for it is the evolution of the world itself.

Duty is slaying the weak peasants and replacing them with the strong ones.

End the suffering of the weaks weakness, and plant the seeds of streanth and prosperity.

Mighty are the warriors of the Empire, deadly are their arts.

Wise are their leaders, decisive are their actions.

It seems to be quite an odd jump from being in a True Evil guild to a Lawful Evil guild.  In ways they seem incompatible.  Especially with the DE being a guild held in such high esteem and exemplified by honor.  Either way, Im sure that Sangwa is aware of this and will/has handled it correctly.
Title:
Post by: Sangwa on September 19, 2005, 05:37:05 pm
Talamir hasn\'t proved to be an unworthy member yet or before joining the Empire, in his previous guilds.

Judging someone by their previous leaders or commands might not always be a wise decision. I\'d rather pick my members for what they\'ve shown themselves, despite what orders they followed.

The Dark Empire has no need to prove it\'s quality. We recruit whomever we wish and respond to our actions accordingly. If a member proves to be unworthy we either attempt at rectifying his behaviour or we expell him.
Simple and efficient, as an Empire should always be.

Also, Vanity and Honor are two different things. Sacrifycing our growth to keep a good image would be pointless vanity, as it would be unfair to those who haven\'t proved themselves and wish for an oppurtunity.

I\'m not scolding you, or anyone else; this is not the first time I\'m warned of such things. I\'m simply taking this oppurtunity to shed an old label.

Giving oppurtunities to those who need while attempting to strenghten the Empire is by far alot more noble and rewarding than having short sighted and arrogant behaviours towards those who wish to join, in spite of our image.
We wish to conquer the world and wreck havoc on all opposers, not dazzle our enemies with a parade.

You\'re assuming that one system is a better measure of their character than the other, because You havnt provided any evidence as to why It is.  Thus a desicion made without facts is an assumption.

#  The act of taking possession or asserting a claim: assumption of command.
# The act of taking for granted: assumption of a false theory.
# Something taken for granted or accepted as true without proof; a supposition.

Unless you want to provide evidence contrary to that, then I am entitled to call your desicion an assumption.

Mighty witty on your part to do the little explanation. However I did not say I wasn\'t making an assumption, might I quote myself using italic on the important words \"Why does that make such an assumption?\"

Let me try it myself now.

That:  \"Judging someone by their previous leaders or commands might not always be a wise decision. I\'d rather pick my members for what they\'ve shown themselves, despite what orders they followed.\"

Such an assumption: \"what someone shows over the short time you know them is a better reflection of their character then their accumulated previous actions.\"

 
Talamir has posted in this forum, and I have watched some of his efforts as a guild member and as a guild leader. Further, my guild mates spoke well of him. That pleased me.
See. I considered what he did himself, not what he was ordered to do, since it rarely works to command someone into activeness and dedication. So, I did not ignore the information I had on him, I rather thought it was positve.
You\'re telling me I\'m judging him by the little time I know him. You made an assumption at that. Use the defenition in the previous post to know why.

I hope I\'ve been clearer this time. And if you wish to tell me something about Talamir, you don\'t need to be subtle or loud. It\'s quite simple to simply PM me with it.

Well you\'re asking me to quantify an assumption.  To do that we would need a common standard for an assumption, and then compare yours against that.  In my mind, there aren\'t many grades of assumptions- Either you use evidence to help your desicion, or you dont.  Thus I showed that you were in fact assuming, as that is far more useful then trying to make some obscure scale for measuring how much you were indeed assuming.

You\'re getting confused here.  Im not nessecarily accusing you of making an assumption about Talamir directly- Im accusing you of making an assumption that your method of assesing Talamir\'s Character is the best one to use.  I did not accuse you of discarding evidence in relation to Talamir, but on the contrary that you provided none to support your assertion that the way you evaluated his character was the correct way.

Quote
You\'re telling me I\'m judging him by the little time I know him. You made an assumption at that. Use the defenition in the previous post to know why.  


How can you judge somebody on the time that you did not know them?  Correct, I assumed you judged him on the time you knew him, since it would be reckless and unreliable to judge somebody when you dont even know them, wouldn\'t it?  Yes, it is an assumption, but it is a correct one, isnt it?  There is nothing inherently wrong with an assumption, if it is a reasonable one, and it turns out to be true.  See, all your observations of him have been made in the time that you knew him: \"I have watched some of his efforts as a guild member and as a guild leader.\"  Thus my assumption that you are evaluating his character on the time that you knew him is, in fact, correct, where as your assumption that This is the correct way to evaluate someone\'s character, has not been proven.

Quote

Yes, but then we wouldnt be having this conversation.  As I stated before I really dont give two figs about your guild- you can run it as you want.  Therefore me privately giving you advice is completly useless from my perspective.
Title:
Post by: Sangwa on September 21, 2005, 02:19:12 pm
We aren\'t communicating well. We\'re making no sense to each other.

Here\'s how I think the conversation should have evolved:
I asked you why was it that judging some one not by their commands but by the way they behaved as guild members in their previous guilds was assuming that I only judge them for the time I know them.
All you had to say was \"Oh... You mean you take into consideration their efforts as guild members of their previous guilds while ignoring their previous guild ideals? You weren\'t clear then.\"
And I would say \"I apologize, I\'m glad you understand now.\"
Then you would say something like this \"You can\'t possibly know everything a member does just by reading some of their posts and asking what people think of that member.\"
\"Right you are. Life\'s a gamble.\"

I know some of Talamir\'s efforts as a Guild member in Deux Ex Trucido and as a guild leader in Atrox Interficio.

It would be rather painful to comment your whole post, and useless as well. It\'s obvious that you didn\'t understand well what I\'ve been saying or that you\'re understanding it in your own way. So, it\'s a pointless post based on a wrong perception of words. It\'s my fault too, since it were my words that you didn\'t understand.

I also don\'t give one fig about you, I simply don\'t want anyone to be misinformed.

Well I dont have a problem here, but It isnt much point continuing if you cant understand it.  I\'ll re-phrase my main point simply.

What I said (or meant to say) was that you assume That judging someone over the time you know them and what you observed is more valuable then judging them by their previous actions.  You seem to have gotten this idea of \"previous commanders and guild leaders\" mixed up in it, which I dont think is relevant at all.  Anyway you said \"I\'d rather pick my members for what they\'ve shown themselves\".  What they\'ve shown themselves must be what you have observed them doing- for If you were not there to observe them, then you would know about it through the Guild, or through other people, Which you said you wanted to avoid?  Thus you are making your judgement based on what You have observed of them, in the time you have known them, and not nessecarily in the entire time they have been in PS.  Therefore there are two different methods: Judge them only on what you have seen, or Judge them on everything, Some of which you must rely on others to tell you.  I therefore claimed that you assumed that your method was the correct one.  I never said you assumed anything about Talamir himself, but about the method which you are assesing him.  Clear?  By the \"time that you know\" I mean the time that you, yourself, have observed them.  If you are not directly observing them, then their actions will become tainted by whatever Third Parties are involved in reporting the informaiton to you, like the Guilds, etc, and you stated you did not want this to happen.
The more subtle, and more important Implication that I was trying to make by bringing this up would be that there Is in fact something that you should know about Talamir that would affect you.  But since this discussion has gotten technical and thus proceeded with the sublety of a SledgeHammer, theres little point in playing that one out now.

Well, I said no-one is bothering at the current time- it still leaves open the possibility of someone at a later date wanting to read it.  Though I should have really known that after posting something like \"no-one is reading this\" 3 seperate people would come back and post.

My two Cents about this matter, I don\'t think members should be chosen by alignment but useability by DE. I mean does it really matter wheter a soldier just wants to kill and get\'s this chance by being a member of DE or a person with the goal to enslave others, both are of equal use...

And no don\'t come with \"RP-reasons\", I really doubt that an empire would mind each soldiers goals, in order to build up an army. There are the ghosts to turn up traitors and conspirancies...

Woah there. You obviously address \"power\" as physical conditioning...which it really isn\'t. There are many other forms of power, and in my opinion, physical conditioning is one of the most common and boring kinds. So think twice before calling someone weak based on their blade.

Having a battle against some one such as you, Evangan, is the same as challenging a random monster. You are of no relevance, even if your physical strenght is something to be reckoned with.
It\'s interesting however, how I\'ve suddenly became a target. I guess my tailor did an overly good job with the uniform. I\'m not complaining though, I enjoy the attention.

That wasn\'t a target at you personally Sangwa. It was mostly targeted to your guild guild. You say your not weak, but if you were killed by me when I wasn\'t even near the full strength I am going to be, then you are weak.

My suggestion is you take training.

But sense the time in the tavern you have made this personal, and you will not defeat me. And how you could stand and let me insult your guild... I think you don\'t even care about them, but that is a sign of evil, but your too weak for evil.

Your guild, when I am at my full power will be attacked and defeated. Its not a personal thing, I just have a thing for power, and when a guild claims to be evil, yet has not creditials to me... your not evil, your pathetic.

If you believe your unstoppable, then wait for me to reach my peak, and then I will challenge you. If you do not believe your unstoppable then just submit to me now and I will take that the same as a win.

You\'re quite melodramatic. And flattering, I\'m glad you consider us such a match. However you didn\'t insult me. You simply told me you wished to defy us, once you reached your marvelous full power.
What did you wanted me to do? Act infuriated? Or pat you in the back and wish you good luck?
Take this the way you want. Try not to make much fuss about it though.

My suggestion is you keep your words for yourself. Once you\'re ready to challenge us, say so. I\'ll see if I have time or not to play your games. Don\'t overestimate your importance, you are but one person and you represent only your ego.

No one is ever at full strength , i do know that these days blades tend to do 100-150 dmg even if you trained sword to lvl 1 .
I hope that the devs fix this weapon thing someday, so you can have a nice challenge with uncle Jekkar .
Now stop praising yourself, it\'s sickening .

It\'s more like 20-40 damage with level 1 I think, if you hit your target.

More like 100 dmg , it depends on the sword not on your sword skill . Maybe in the future it will be fair .

Princess Aelya is responsible for the Dark Empire\'s forums. Not a single member joins whithout her knowing about it.
It\'s not hard to contact her and I do so everytime I need. Last time should have been a week or less ago.

I\'m having enough work as a Regent. I think I\'ll appreciate the time when I\'m requested to act just as a Shadowmaster.

UPDATE: Aendar Callenlasse has reenlisted in the Dark Empire. He again occupies his place as the Archmage of  the Empire.

Heh some things never change do they?

And yes, I know about every event that transpires within the guild, including but not limited to new members, declarations of war and alliances, and people leaving the guild.

Just because you can\'t see a ghost does not mean they do not exist. I simply don\'t bother with the forums here much...*motions at all the useless bickering*

And yes it\'s true, contacting me is quite simple and easy.

Why do you fear me? Why do you lie to yourself and say I am not worth it when I can defeat you all in battle. You hide and run from me so you don\'t have to prove that your weak. If you were truly powerful and evil you would fight me, and you would prove that you are not weak. But you are, and you run... You run and you hide... because you cannot fight me...

I was hoping for a challenge from you and alls I get are pathetic excuses... I don\'t even know why I waste my time with you..

I think its because your the last guild, the last one on my list to fight.... and you can\'t even face me. Your as weak as the new sproutling guilds. Not even one of you are even WILLING to fight me because you know you will lose. Just admit and submit to me and I will be happy.

No.  \"Just anyone\" is exactly who you are.  Having high stats means nothing with regards to individuality, self-worth, influence, power, colour, interest, or even ability.  Have you defeated a bunch of guild leaders?  Join the club.  It really doesn\'t mean anything, especially since most of the leaders aren\'t primarily concerned with the arts of war.

You aren\'t all talk, but what you have to offer is of extremely little significance.

They are not the only evil guild.  Not by a longshot.  Further, you haven\'t faced them.  If you truly want to face them, start a guild using yourself, 20k, and four alts volounteered by your friends.  Then start a guild war between yourself and the DE.  I\'m sure they\'d have fun with you.

How can we admit to something we aren\'t? Could you attempt to explain me why we are weak and falling? \"Because your guild leader lost a duel\" is not a valid reason though, just as it isn\'t \"Because your guild members avoid fighting a nuisance.\"
You are in no place to demand anything from us. You did prove your might as a warrior, but you fail to prove your worht as someone relevant.

I don\'t mind angry people. As long as they don\'t linger on anger. Noobis and Shalmaneser simply spoke their mind and I tried to respond clearly and accordingly.
And Seperot... well he\'s Seperot.

Master Rogue, you should already know I always try to avoid needless brawlings. Which is, by the way, something that brings exasperation to my Soldiers ^^.

If anyone is displeased by our lack of action, know that it\'s due to me. I like things well planned and to avoid being hasty. That\'s why we are currently working on internal affairs rather than starting our campaign.

Oh yes my friend sometimes the gates of past to seem to open because we don\'t let go of it easily. In the past lies what is known. What is certain. In the past lie our triumphs that we wish to relive. In the past lie also our mistakes that we wish to undo. The future also holds the same but it is dark. Unseen we do not know what it sends our way. We anticipate eagerly our future triumphs but the fear of failure far exceeds any joyous hopes. Man abhorrs change and therein is his weakness. Change should be controlled and not resisted. It is as the wise woman of the cube, whom we mortals call \"the borg drone 7of9\", had said:

\"resistance is futile\"

And we must believe what she has said for she was \"HOT\"!!! :D:tup:.

Mere? Ghosts are the foundation of the Empire\'s Shadow Force.
Unlike many guilds our ranks are not meant to classify our members as better or worst. They distinguish those with leadership from those without it.

Check the next sentence after the one you quoted :P
Annah was the Rule-all-stuffs-with-his-infinite-power-self-proclaimed-dark-lord. Ghost wouldn\'t be descrbed like that and doesn\'t hold much control power, thus it\'s quite mere when talking about Annah\'s aspirations :P

\"Mere? Ghosts are the foundation of the Empire\'s Shadow Force.\"

I don\'t think you can compare both, Draklar. Peasants are a weak social group, Ghosts are more like a worker class. If you told me \"Agriculturists and farmers, are the foundation of the government\'s agriculture\" then I would agree. You would still fail to prove a point though.

What\'s your point? I also agree that peasants can be part of a working class. However, it still makes them a social group and not a working class. And you can\'t compare both on the level you were comparing.

So, let me be completly clear: it makes little sense to compare Ghosts to Peasants the way you did seeing that each one refers to a different concept. I\'m guessing you have it understood by now.
Title:
Post by: Draklar on December 02, 2005, 06:01:46 pm
And Ghosts aren\'t a social group? It seems like they share social relation to me (like social roles)...

So peasants belong to working class, but they aren\'t working class? That seems like a contradiction to me...

To use definitions a little:

Working Class:
[n]  a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages;
Labor:
[n]  productive work (especially physical work done for wages);
Peasant:
[n]  one of a (chiefly European) class of agricultural laborers

This is bad terminology me thinks.


In a feudal society, you have a society of peasants ruled by aristocracy.  Soldiers are an extension of the aristocracy.

A merchant class can exist in a feudal society.  They own property, ships, or some other source of wealth through trade or manufacturing.  They are economically independant, unlike the peasants, but they are not in a position to rule, unlike the aristocarcy.

Family A belongs to a working class. Is the working class family A?

Let me attempt to prove my point even further:

\"Blacksmiths are the foundation of the Metal Forging association.\"
\"Peasants are the foundation of the government\'s agriculture. So?\"
I\'m just saying this doesn\'t make much sense.
Anyway, it\'s normal you have a crippled opinion about the Empire\'s Ghosts, so let\'s not spend too much time on this.

Title:
Post by: Draklar on December 03, 2005, 01:47:13 pm
My point was that Ghosts being foundation of Dark Empire\'s shadow force doesn\'t say anything about their greatness.
In normal state of things peasants would be foundation of the whole Dark Empire. Just look at games like Settlers, where everything starts from the peasant jobs.
Title:
Post by: Sangwa on December 03, 2005, 03:35:20 pm
Of course it says. If some kingdom would have peasants (as in social group of poor people with little rights) as its foundation, than it can\'t be that much of a successful kingdom. However, the peasants\' \"greatness\" is still there, seeing that they are required.

I\'m just saying Ghosts are nothing like peasants and that being the foundation of something is actually something that we should attribute \"greatness\" to.
Title:
Post by: Draklar on December 03, 2005, 04:59:20 pm
By greatness I mean having strong influence on something. If you kill one Ghost, not much happens. If someone kills Shadowmaster, things will be much worse.

And I thought I already pointed out what I understand by peasant:
[n]  one of a (chiefly European) class of agricultural laborers
Of course it should be obvious in what context I use that word from the first time I used it.

Agricultural laborers are foundation of any kingdom. Without them you won\'t get enough food to support any other activities. Won\'t get many of the needed materials either.

Ghosts aren\'t soldiers, nor soldiers are laborers. What did you try to prove?



I\'m not proving so much as I\'m correcting.  Peasant is a term which is strongly and uniquely connected to a feudal economy or society.


The definition you\'ve given is \"one of a (chiefly European) class of agricultural laborers \", but this definition is incomplete and misleading.  A European farmer is not necessarily a peasant.  If that farmer lives within a feudal society, then the term peasant may be appropriate.  For instance, russia was feudal until the late 1800\'s, and as such the term peasant was used to describe the Russian lower class when it was not used to describe the English lower class since they had entered a capitalist society due to the influence of industrialization and social forces in the vein of Calvanism and so on.



Is \"ghost\" a rank within the Dark Empire?  There used to be a guild called The Ghosts which was in alliance with Minions.  Until now, I was assuming you were talking about some extinct or secret guild.

By greatness I mean having strong influence on something. If you kill one Ghost, not much happens. If someone kills Shadowmaster, things will be much worse.

And I thought I already pointed out what I understand by peasant:
[n] one of a (chiefly European) class of agricultural laborers
Of course it should be obvious in what context I use that word from the first time I used it.

Oh. I didn\'t understand it that way. I thought you were comparing Ghosts to the lowly definition of Peasants. If you\'re comparing them to agricultural laborers, then I guess I don\'t need to feel insulted.

Might I invite you for a mug of ale?

UPDATE: I can\'t get my client to work. I keep failing to update it properly -_-. So Thormor\'s handling the ingame organization of our guild.
I hope I\'ll be back soon.

I don\'t know if you actually think you\'re being original, but I\'m bothered with this kind of questions quite often.

I know it\'s frustrating to not fight us, but you people have to be patient. If you do wish for such an honor.

It\'s your choice to see us as evil as it\'s your choice to listen to what any imperialist has to say. We would be in a bad situation if we had to rush just to satisfy the likes of you.

OOC: If you\'re speaking OOCly, then let me tell you that the Dark Empire isn\'t Lawful Evil, by PS standards. Neither does it belong to any alignment, since we don\'t possess an alignment system.
Our reasons for not entering Guild Wars are simple: we lack a good amount of Soldiers, which are the base of the Empire\'s military; we are tending to internal issues, like the distribution of power and the creation of guild events; we\'re attending to missions of diplomatic nature.

From here forth I shall be ignoring all statements of this kind, unless they can lead to an interesting discussion.

hmmm now I have to say I like how Sangwa is playing the evil one that isn\'t tottally evil but just a little fanatic ;)

Will be really interesting to see how this develops as more options come into PS. If the devs will ever give players enough control to really have these things work however is an other matter.

The takeover of Akkaio by the Dark Empire and the resistance movement led by the community of Vaalnor now that might be an interesting story to follow ;)

IC I have to opose you ofcourse unless some day I\'m turning to the dark side LOL ;)

:p  I believe it\'s possible to be an intelligent psychopath.

And I notice that my question was deleted before it was answered.  How rude!

So here it is again:  The guild exists to serve the primary goal of making the Empress powerful over all the land.  How hard or soft are you with who you let into the guild?  Do you only accept members who adopt this goal for themselves above all other goals?
Title:
Post by: Sangwa on December 20, 2005, 12:02:18 pm
Those are good questions. Let me try to answer them accordingly.

Quote
The guild exists to serve the primary goal of making the Empress powerful over all the land. How hard or soft are you with who you let into the guild?

Our primary goal is to set a Yliakum wide rulership with Her Magesty as its supreme leader. Seeing that we do require a vast amount of people (ie everyone) to bend to our cause, we certainly need a good number of imperialists.
So I\'m rather soft when picking who joins. I ask only for politness, some show of skill and patience. This will grant anyone the rank of Aspirant.
To be promoted from this rank, however, that person has to be dedicated, resourceful and loyal. That\'s the reason why we ask for a pledge. This is all explained within our Guide of the Aspirant (http://www.thedarkempireofps.netfirms.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Newcomers;action=display;num=1125917718).

Quote
Do you only accept members who adopt this goal for themselves above all other goals?

Having goals in life is a sign of power, of self control, domination over the frustration of a clouded fate. The Empire needs mighty people.
That\'s why we wish for a healthy conjugation of goals, where the ambition for the Empire\'s cause and the personal objectives of the imperialists may not only subsist together, but strenghten each other over time.
We appreciate if someone is willing to adopt our goals above all else, but we certainly do not demand or recommend it.

Seeing that it\'s almost certain that I\'ll have problems with upgrading my linux client, people interested in contacting the  Dark Empire\'s leadership ingame should contact Dragoon Setill.

EDIT:
Setill has been promoted to Warlord. This means he acts like a leader of the Dark Empire, commanding our Steel Force with his strong sense of duty.

I\'ll probably be away for the whole month of March. Remember what\'s stated above and contact him as you would contact a leader of the Dark Empire.

We\'ve updated the ranks.

I\'ve tried to change everything into perfection again, but I doubt I\'ve done a good job... Becase it\'s 1:28 and I\'m real sleepy.
So if any of you would be as kind as to help check the website and promotional thread for flaws and then have them listed out for me, I\'d be very thankful. The site\'s on my sig, you uninformed piece of lazy lard.

I\'ve also got some new poetry to go with the promotional thread, even though I doubt anyone reads them once they turn a week old.

Anyway, this is a \"newborn\" measure that will surely take some time to be implemented in its fullness (hierarchic chartsto do, jobs to create, medal systems to implement, etc.) so keep this in mind if you feel like giving some insight, alright?

That\'s up to you.
If you wish to join, create an account in our forum (http://www.thedarkempireofps.netfirms.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Newcomers;action=register) (if you have any issues with registering PM me (http://planeshift.oodlz.com/wbboard/pms.php?action=new&userid=6833&boardid=18&sid=a31093d2ac8df71a1841987a8de8eb41) over this forum). After you\'ve done that visit our forum, under the \"New Recruits\" section you will find a stickied thread named \"Guide of the Aspirant.\" That will have all the information you need to become a full-fledged imperialist.

Also, thanks for giving me a good idea. I should add some information on how to join the Empire.

Oh, and one more thing, Planeshift has no alignment system. While claiming the Dark Empire is evil isn\'t all that wrong, it is still an alien Out Of Character characterization that shouldn\'t be taken into consideration as far as this game\'s setting is concerned.

It may be best to join the Dark Empire knowing which force you aim to join.  As you see in Herleva's post there is Steel Force, which she is a commander of.  The other forces are on the first post I believe, albeit briefly, they are arcane and shadow.  I run shadow at the moment, and unless you are quite gifted, I would suggest aiming for either Arcane or Steel as Shadow only accepts the best.

The Empire will be the strongest guild out there, do not doubt that, join now and secure a powerful position before you lose your chance.

Aye, by the bests I meant the best relative to the skills needed, of course.  But, thank you for clearing that up.

In fact, the people who actually join the Dark Empire (which means becoming a Knight or greater) are rarely noobs. Our full-fledged members tend to be knowledgeable about Yliakum's ways. The Page and Squire ranks are probitionary ranks and as such the members that fill them do not count as true imperialists, at least that's how our own organization regards them.

Umm, yeah he is. Soldier I beleive. And that there was just plain mean, and I may reconsider comming back if that's the kind of Leadership I'll be under.


Actually, my plans to leave were accelerated - if you get my meaning.  Herleva had a hand in it after blaming me for Setill and herself leaving the guild, so she knows the answer to her own question and is just asking it to be difficult.  My understanding is that Setill has other things happening in his life right now, and Herleva is supporting him by acting out against me in-game and in the forums.  Look over her recent posts if you want to catch up on the drama.

To be honest, I'm not sure why they've decided to use this as an opportunity to 'take me out'.  Herleva and I barely ever talked, and Setill and I were always on good terms until quite recently.  I haven't even been around this past number of days, so I'm not sure what the 'last straw' was.

That said, I don't think that having a few bad apples means that the guild is a complete waste, so I'll continue to recomend them to people I meet, through my signature and in-game.  Setill and Herleva are leaving PS anyway, from my limited understanding.  I'm not sure what's going on for sure, because Setill blocked my private messages after I asked him what was wrong, and it seems that Setill never got back to Sangwa after I asked Sangwa if he could shed any light on what was happening.  I think that the "leadership" issues which brought about my leaving will be sorted out in time.

I consider your post as a yes to my answer.
When you don`t have a char in Dark Empire you lost the privilege to use that name in your signature.
It is not your issue anymore to recommend this guild.
Imagine everybody who likes Dark Empire would use this name in their signature?
The lost the right to use this signature.

As for herleva i agree with zanz (sorry herleva :/) but seems like you have been following him a bit around the forums for quite some time now, not that i don't understand you. But please flame him in a pm or get your mess sorted out...


Ah, but if it became private, it would defeat her purpose! ;)

I'll add a disclaimer to my sig to point out that I'm not a member of the guild.  Seems silly to me, but there you go.  As far as everyone having a link to the same guild... I think it would be great for the one guild, just bad for everyone else.

 and Herleva is supporting him by acting out against me in-game and in the forums. Look over her recent posts if you want to catch up on the drama.
Supporting me in what ? are you feel attacked by me somewhere ?

To be honest, I'm not sure why they've decided to use this as an opportunity to 'take me out'.
a bit paranoiac ? We didn't decide anything, I left PS for different reason and herleva doesn't leave PS, just the DE, we didn't plan it. Don't supposed about what poeple do if you didn't talk to them, in that case to me.

That said, I don't think that having a few bad apples means that the guild is a complete waste, so I'll continue to recomend them to people I meet, through my signature and in-game. Setill and Herleva are leaving PS anyway, from my limited understanding. I'm not sure what's going on for sure, because Setill blocked my private messages after I asked him what was wrong, and it seems that Setill never got back to Sangwa after I asked Sangwa if he could shed any light on what was happening.
Bad apples ? you mean me and Herleva? Sorry but there is a worm in PS who trolls the forum, who is the source of most of players complain, you. When it's not only one person who say that you have a problem, when it's everyone who say this, you may questions yourself.
Why I blocked your PM?  because you start to be rude and change the sense of all what I'm saying, as usual, like in most your posts, turning things and arguements in a stupid circular logic.
Don't associate my departure of PS with you, I have nothing against you, this is a VIDEO GAME, what you are doing ingame and out game doesn't bother me much.
And yes, I didn't have the opportunity to meet Sangwa yet.

Yes.  You already knew that from our exchange of private messages.

Except that you blocked my PMs after I asked you what was going on, and Sangwa seems to be operating in the dark as well.

As far as my "trolling", I asked you what you meant and the best you could come up with was that I wrote a story in the 3rd person rather than 1st person.  Even I can think of better examples!  Given Herleva's recent behaviour on the forum, I would say she's definately been a bad apple - if only recently.  I never really talked to her before a week ago, so I don't know if she was any better or any worse before that.


And yes, I didn't have the opportunity to meet Sangwa yet.

Since this thing is OOC and out of game, that statement is objectively false.  We were both trying to figure out what was going on.  From what I've been told, it seems like we're still trying to figure out exactly what's going on.  You could have sent private messages or emails at any time, but you haven't made an effective attempt to communicate - instead, you've been rude and evasive, including these brief public displays which don't really answer the questions.  It's not constructive, but you can still change the direction things are going.  What happened to the old Setill?

Imagine everybody who likes Dark Empire would use this name in their signature?

I don't... quite... see the problem that would bring...

I agree with karyuu. I also don't understand why the guild wouldn't be honoured to have someone support their guild name in their signature. Blah ... sorry for posting this as I know cyl you don't want drama in the thread. I just don't understand I guess and felt I needed to voice it.

I think the Dark Empire is pretty much the only guild which is well organized and well written, which has been around for a while, and which opposes the "good"/self-righteous guilds which have banded together.  If it wasn't around, there would be far less potential for things to turn interesting.  Things aren't so great right now though... one of the core values of the Dark Empire is ambition, but it seems that safety and longevity have become more important.
Title: Re: The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: Waylander on May 25, 2006, 06:11:00 pm
The Dark Empire's ambition still stands strong but we are careful now.  Many of our members write tests around this time, it has been something I have been worried about for some time now, hence the lack of ambitious movement.  I didn't want us to get into something and then have half our people go afk for a week.

As for the Herleva and Zanzibar thing.  1) Zanzi, please stop mentioning that both Herleva and Setill complained about you.  It was not the only reason you are not longer in the guild.
2)I am glad you still honour us in your sig, I can understand that Herleva wants the disclaimer.

And, more importantly, Xordan: The Dark Empire not only outlived the cabali, but it's Shadow General is the best ex-cabali out there :P

Actually, it is.  Sangwa told me that his understanding is that I forced Setill and Herleva out of the guild, so therefore I need to leave as well.  I did nothing of the sort.  I was visiting my grandparents from friday to monday, so I was not in-game, and I was only briefly on the forums friday and had no internet after that point.  My private messages with Setill were polite (at my end, anway.  He was not as polite), and the overall message was "What's going on here?"  As far as Herleva goes, her activity speaks for itself and I don't feel I have to say anything else on the matter.  As far as my character being chaotic-evil and the guild being lawful-evil, it was never a problem before and there are reasons for the difference anyway, so I doubt that's it.  As far as my "activities" in the forum, the forum is out of character while guilds are in character.  The Dark Empire is supposed to be a role-playing in-character guild, so I also doubt that the forum was a premise for the disagreement.
Title: Re: The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: Waylander on May 25, 2006, 08:01:01 pm
As astounding as this sounds Zanzi, you don't know everything :P

You were kicked on many grounds, one of which was annoying guildmembers.  Both Setill and Herleva mentioned you when the told me they were going off to try new stuff.  I also almost lost one of the most promising new recruits because of you.

All in all, you were destroying the reputation of the guild, hindering it's advancement, disturbing guild members.  Hell, you did more for our enemies than you did for us.

You were made aware that there was a possibility you were about to be kicked from the guild a while ago.

...

On to other things, Herleva, my offer of assistance still stands.

Setill, I trust you will do well in everything you try, but if you do need assistance, just poke me.

Zanzi, you too, have done good for the guild, and if you need assistance I would be more than willing to help you.

I wish all three of you luck in everything you do.  Now, can we change the topic from squabbling back to the Dark Empire, thank you.

...


The Dark Empire is going through an interesting phase.  The Princess' possible return has put quite a few things into perspective.  Recruitement is up, though the screening period still stands.  The forces are being remade, meaning that two Overlord Positions are up for grabs (Steel and Arcane, you can try to compete with me for Shadow aswell but, well....good luck :P ).  If you are looking for a guild to join, the Dark Empire may be for you.  If that is so, then now is the time to join.

In order to get in you will have to talk to me (Nurahk ingame), Cyl or Sangwa.  Me and Sangwa are incredibly busy both IRL and with getting the renovations done.

I will post more once we have set up the Steel and Arcane forces.  Shadow Force is nearly completely set up, all we need is more members, if you are one who loves to work in the dark, then I assure you, there is no better place for you than in the Shadow Force.

Isn't that what I've been saying all along?  That Setill has been very reluctant in saying anything, and I've been going off of what little Sangwa knows and has told me?


You were kicked on many grounds, one of which was annoying guildmembers.  Both Setill and Herleva mentioned you when the told me they were going off to try new stuff.  I also almost lost one of the most promising new recruits because of you.

I haven't done anything to annoy Setill more than he's done to me, I never had any real contact with Herleva, Covirose and Talamir I was on very good terms with, and the rest I never really saw or interacted with.  So I really have no idea what you're talking about.  No one ever said anything to me about it, that's for sure!  If it's been new players giving these reports, maybe they've been playing you?  It wouldn't be the first time that someone made an alt and joined my guild just to mess with me.


All in all, you were destroying the reputation of the guild, hindering it's advancement, disturbing guild members.  Hell, you did more for our enemies than you did for us.

So you say, but I don't see how anyone could come to that conclusion.


You were made aware that there was a possibility you were about to be kicked from the guild a while ago.

Setill said that I should leave because of the arguments I get into on the forums.  That's as OOC as it gets.  As far as you go - you were talking about putting me in charge of the new recruits, so excuse me if I say that something sounds a bit fishy here.  You changed 180 degrees in a very short period of time.


Zanzi, you too, have done good for the guild, and if you need assistance I would be more than willing to help you.

Don't compliment yourself.;)

There was absolutely no point in that post.  It should have been a Pm like I asked for.

Granted you were asking for her to clear up her statement, but you did it in a passive agressive way.

Now, if we can get away from "Look at me, I'm Zanzibar and I reply to everything" and back to the guild, that would be nice :)

Waylander, if you haven't noticed it by now, Zanzibar *must* have the last word in every discussion, whether there's a point to it or not. I promise you that you won't be able to convince him that he's wrong on any point no matter what evidence you provide. My kids argue similarly: "Yes you did!" "No I didn't!" "Yes you did!" "No I didn't!" "Yes you did!" "No I didn't!" on to ad finitum.

Zanzibar, if I were kicked out of Dark Empire, I certainly wouldn't want to go around with "Are you worthy of the Dark Empire" in my signature. It seems that, in your case, that question has already been answered definitively.

Now I'll leave this forum, as I'm not a member of Dark Empire either.

He did very good job for the DE, I witnessed it. The only thing I can blame on Shal is that he didn't respect the DE's rules, and for this yes he should be kicked. But for the GOOD job he did for the DE I expected him to leave the DE instead of beeing kicked.

Thanks you for the kind words, guys.  I assure you the DE will be even more powerful once the renovations or reformations are complete.  Some of you may have noticed that recruitement is on the rise for the Dark Empire, I assure you we are not mass recruiters, the rank of page is not truly a part of the Dark Empire, it is a screening rank, per se.

I'd like to mention that Cyl, Sphenix and Tharos are all doing incredible jobs.  I can't believe how lucky the DE is to have all three of them.

A few comments to address some concerns and questions:

1.) I don't care if your a member of the DE or not, or whether you were kicked or left, if you want to advertise (POSITIVE adds) our guild in any way shape or form you are welcome to do so and I would appreciate the support.

2.) The incident with the 3 meantioned individuals happened behind my back (intentionally or no, it doesnt matter either way since that is not the point: read on) and what I got from good trustworthy (haha?) Waylander was that 2 of them chose to leave in pusuit of other interests, which is fine, and the other who was kicked for the meantioned reasons. I do admit though, that I have not heard the kicked individuals side of the story. That being said, I gave Sangwa and Waylander authority because I trust their judgement. But I am open to appeals.

3.) I am curious as the percieved leadership problems that seems to impression those outside the guild. The leadership is quite simple: Waylander commands our shadow force and acts as a ruling council member. Sangwa is the leader of this ruling council and is free to override any decision Waylander makes if he wishes. And then theres me, whom in rare occasions needs to dropkick some sense into them both (kidding, I love you guys!). The leadership positions of our steel force and Arcane force are currently unfilled. Until they are filled, Sangwa and I organize their activities.

4.) Seriously, this is a promotional thread, not a "fl4m3 j00r 3g0" war. I would kindly ask moderators to clean out the junk, and advise any junk producers with questions and concerns to contact me via PM or MSN.

5.) Yes, just to reaffirm this, DE IS A ROLEPLAYING GUILD and we want mature roleplayers who don't troll around the forums trying to prove their ego is bigger and better than whoevers. That is not the sort of OOC behavior I want to see in guild members. When discussing things OOC I expect members to always remain cool headed and keep their inflated ego's in check (*kicks waylander under the table*) in order to maintain a mature guild image. That said, I would appreciate poor member behavior being brought to my attention so that I might address it. (Anyone can make up a lie to discredit someone else, so give me screenshots or some other form of undeniable proof)

6.) I must again reaffirm that just because I don't post here much does not mean I do not exist. :P

7.) The only reason I am not active IG at this point is becaus I don't see the Diaboli models yet.

8.) The DE is not "reforming". We are just throwing around various ideas, but the structure of the guild will remain the same.

I'll send you a PM sometime in the next week.  I'm going to warn you that it will be relatively long and detailed, and you probably won't like a lot of what I have to tell you.  I was going to 'pursue other interests' anyway - at first, I thought that was the reason I was kicked - but I think it's worthwhile to give you my side of things, even if I'm not interested in rejoining the guild.  Some good might come of the exchange.

Greetings again. I've seen some of you have been quite busy babbling nonsense around here in my absence. How rude of you.

Anyway, just here to tell you the bad news. Yes. The Dark Empire is still breathing (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=24252.msg268866#msg268866) and if you ever even doubted it then that is because you are quite new around here.

Still, we take kindly to newcomers. So if you're interested in joining and helping with the effort of organizing this great guild, then do refer to the first page (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=15005.0) of this thread! If you're already in a guild, my deepest apologizes. It must be hard for you.

Feel free to PM myself and Cadoras or to bug any other member you happen to find ingame. We'd love to have some more ambition around and we'll surely reward you for your duties and dedication.

"Hail the Dark Empire and and Her Magesty Aelya."

Good to be back, Tharos. Unfortunely (well, fortunely too) I'll be having some big vacations away from the internet, so I won't be around on this summer too much. If anyone in the Dark Empire will be playing this summer and requires any kind of help (permissions, changes in the site, etc) within the Dark Empire, now should be the time to ask for it.

Don't worry Zanzibar, she'll read it eventually.

Anyway, I added our IRC channel on the first post, since some of us can be found there daily. Useful if you want to talk to us to be promoted, to join, share your opinion, etc. See you there.

The dark empire doesn't work that way.  They have a number of longterm, ongoing initiatives and plans.  They aren't vocal about it and they don't flaunt it, which is part of their charm, but they aren't constantly plotting or thinking up of new ideas with the sense of urgency you suggest.

Dark Empire... I sincerely apologize for the following post being in your thread.  None of this really belongs in your thread but since its here I've got to say it. 

Colinb - as of the time of this writing you have made 45 total posts.  You stats also say you have been a member for 1 day.  I am usually the one jumping in to defend newcommers, but in this case I have to simply say, please stop.  I consider all of your posts spam so far.  I looked long and hard for a post where you said something truely meaninful but was unable to locate any whatsoever.  I don't mind a bit of this but it has gone far enough.  Calm yourself down and lay off the caffeine yourself :D

Time for your lesson:

1.) No one likes random usless spammers.  You make all of Zanzibars posts seem postively awsome and useful, and there have been plenty of times I felt like he was posting just for the sake of posting.  ;)

2.)  When you post, try to be thoughtful.  You are spending your time here so you might as well not be wasting it.  Look for things that interest you and engage in discussions. 

3.)  Trust me you may think you can keep this up forever, and you probably can for a while, but in the end you'll fizzle out if you keep this up.  Calm down, slow down, relax and enjoy the game and the forums.  There is plenty to do besides posting on every thread possible.




Edit:  ACK NOOOooooo I"m not becoming an oldbie I promise!!!

Colinb, he still makes a valid point as I wanted to say the same thing several times in fact.

Welcome to PS anyway!  Hope to see you in game.

And I don't think Zanzibar's posts are trash.  I haven't read all of them (too many), but he usually makes valid points that I agree with in (/me approximates) 75% of his posts.  Not that I'm some pillar of the PS community or something.  I actually look forward to his posts, even if they do involve a conspiracy.  And who doesn't love Kittens?

As a PS Character, he does such a good job rp'ing that we love to hate him.  The arena is too quiet without him.

Well now that this thread has been bumped up, I've a question that is relevant to the topic.

Is the Dark Empire still around? I haven't seen any members or heard much about the guild. I think it's a really neat guild and hope they are still around! If not, well, I know I'll miss you all. Actually, I didn't know all of you, but I think you understand what I'm saying.  :P

I can manage as a former ally (and still member of DE) to do business. As soon(tm) as I see Sangwa I will transmit him the business things related.

The guild is on vacation, we work hard on it and sometimes some breaks do good to ourselves before total boredom come.

Yes afaik Sangwa will most likely not be around or at least not as much.  I'd heard such murmerings for quite some time and I suppose its already happened :(

Still though DE will continue to be around I'm assuming.  Which is good, most guilds simply come and go.

Well as for the kittens part point taken :D  Zanzibar does make alot of valid points, but they tend to be his first posts in the threads.  The first few (especially if its a thread he starts) are usually fine, but threads deteriorate in content as they go on, and he has a tendancy to post back over and over over little points that don't mean much of anything.  Don't get me wrong I've agreed with Zanzibar many times and have even found myself posting on his side  :whistling:  but man sometimes you gotta let  a thread die ;)

Anyhoo kudos to DE for keeping themselves going.  Not alot of guilds manage this.  Hope the guilds vacation is over soon :D

I'll answer your question in lieu of a more official one.  Setill has left PS.  Last time I checked in, Nurahk was in position to replace him.
Title: Re: [GUILD] The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: Sangwa on September 18, 2006, 11:44:02 pm
The Dark Empire's hierarchy has changed in the following aspects:

We've added the rank Chauncellor, second in command to her Magesty the Empress.

Previously we had 3 active forces with the following hiearchy:
Shadow Force: Shadowmaster -> Wraith -> Ghost
Steel Force: Warlord -> Dragoon -> Soldier
Arcane Force: Archmage -> Magus -> Mageling

We've added more ranks for each force and came up with a passive Force:
Each force has the following ranks: Overlord -> General -> Commander -> Knight.
Imperialists are distiguinshed by their force, for example: Shadow Knight, Arcane Overlord, Steel Commander.
The passive force consists in a group of loyalists with various functions and no ranking within. These members are managed by the Chauncellor.
You should check the site for detailed information.

Changing subject; welcome back Talamir. You'll be invited back as soon as I find you (which could take some time) or if you find Tharos in-game.

No forgiveness granted for off topic chatter. So when both of you die, you'll go to hell.

We don't care what Setill plays, we just know we'd be happy if he came back. Even if he didn't join the Empire. Not all can be as loyal as I am, that's for sure.
And Nurahk will not take Setill's place. He operates a different part of the Empire.

Speaking of taking places, the Empire will operate a major change soon. We will need capable people to take the aspiring position and prove they can do something for the Empire.

Keep in mind that:
We're into religion right now, since we don't see anyone taking advantage of it. Vodul worshippers and Lah'ar advocates should be interested in us since we're thinking about providing them with good help.

All hail the Dark Empire.

Was I saying the Dragon Council was older then the Dark Empire then?

I was thinking of guilds like the Knowledge Seekers and the Explorers and the Vaalnor Council who is evolved from the Sentinals of Ragnarok. Those guilds are still around and are definately older then the Dark Empire as to your own standard the DE is only two months older then the Dragon Council. if you suddenly do want to look at ingame creation time I know atleast for the Dragon Council that there is a big chance we are older then the DE aswell as we made our forumpost when we were already ingame for several months already.

And why wouldn't we look at those things seeing it's the DE thats suddenly claiming to be the oldest guild around. Shouldn't we ask for some proof for claims made like that? Specially if that looks a lot like taking that credit away from someone else?

yeah but this was a revivial of a guild that had practicly died. As you can see when Sangwa started this thread it was mentioned ehe only had 8 members. This was becuase they were rebuilding the guild and febuary is already two months after the CB conversion so it wasn't becuase of the wipe or atleast not just becuase of that.

Post by: Serem on September 24, 2006, 01:45:51 am
The Dark Empire always remained active, although less people noticed it.
I was on of the few, that remained active and were online from time to time.
Now with our leader Sangwa fully back, the guild is almost back to it's old strength, as before.
I am already for more then a year, a member of the Dark Empire.
The biggest loss, was the leaving of Setill.
Setill contributed very much to the Dark Empire, together with Sangwa.

Now lets start building the Dark Empire back to it's original size. reputation and let's continue from the point, where we became more inactive.

I've been in guilds much larger than that which had even fewer active members.... I still don't see why you're saying that the guild "practically died".  If it practically died, then why has it done so well?
Title: Re: [GUILD] The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: Pestilence on September 24, 2006, 03:30:19 am
There have been so many guilds that have done so well in CB who didnt work in MB. Why Dark Empire died out I don't know as I wasn't there to see that. I was only here from just before CB so only saw it rebuilding and hearing others comment on the rebuilding and how good it was to see a familiar guild return again.

Anyhow 8 members was when they were already rebuilding. How do you know how many were active? And how many of those were actually from the DE guild before it was recreated? As I remember all that happened before your time. Definately before your time with the Dark Empire.

Reason number one for dying out as I see it is inactive leadership and I did hear your empress actually is someone who used to play, so perhaps her leaving had something to do with it. Perhaps one of the DE members can think back of these old times and give information.

Nah, don't pay much attention to Meriner.
A guild is as good as it's leader and [former] vice leaders.
The leader of the DC was away for a long time too, just like Sangwa.
And look what is left from the DC.
It's better to have a few members that are dedicated, then arguements among it's members, that divide the guild in several camps.
The DE will remain stronger in mind, because of a better organisation.
The DC had a hard time too, like the DE, past year.
But i put that besides me now, because this is teritory of the Dark Empire, not the Dragon Council.

Pestilence, I'm sorry if you feel insulted.  I surely didn't mean to inspire such a vile response from you.

@Serem:  I had a lot of contact with Rioth when he came back after being gone.  He trusted his comanders, and they held things together.  There were various messes to clean up but things were alright.  The key is to find people you can trust so you don't have to micromanage so much.

Hehe, Setill couldn't replace Nurahk neither, It was a team work as they were same ranked. Just two different jobs.

Not sure if I will return to PS one day, I have lots of fun elsewhere, I am thinking (with herleva and Narita) about building a DE guilde like on another mmo. Still loyal to the Dark Empire even on another world, DE is in my heart :)

At the moment, the number of guildmembers needed, for a guild to be acknowledged, equals 5. Thus 8 members is enough for the DE to be considered a guild, even at the phase of rebuilding. 'Nuff Said

Hey Sangwa can say that but now your just being annoying to be annoying Phinehas.
*Phinehas raises his eyebrows.*

And that surprises you?

Actually, to set matters straight, I just don't get to talk to Sangwa that often, although I consider him a particular friend. Therefore I have a great desire to reply to anything he says, if only in confirmation.

Post by: Sangwa on September 26, 2006, 08:37:47 pm
That sure is true, Phinehas. You should get on msn and PS more often :P
Pestillence, everyone knows Phinehas likes to be annoying.  Or he doesn't but he still is. Anyway don't worry about it... Or do, but not in this thread please, as I'd like it to be cleaner from impertinent posts.

It's good to have you aboard Nichoali. I hope more join the effort like you've done.

I'd advise the new comers and all those with the slightest hint of intelect and ambition to join our guild now. We are in a restructuring phase and so it'll be wise to join now as your graduation from aspirant to member could be faster. We will go through visible change soon, but we require a good number of capable people to share our grand cause.

Check the first post (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=15005.0) and page 21 (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=15005.300) so you can have an idea of what we look for in our members.

Nice to see you on the boards, Nichoali.

If you plan on joining the Dark Empire be ready for some change.  A lot of change.

On a good note I would like to point out that we are becoming more and more active by the day, recruitement is a slow business but we go on.

The Dark Empire is going forth into a whole new age, and will become more powerful than ever.  This is the first time that me, Sangwa and Natrina have been active at the same time and never have I seen so much get accomplished in such a short time span.

Entrance into the Dark Empire, though we need many people, is strict.  You will often see atleast one ranking Imperialist in the Plaza though, feel free to approach us if you have questions or wish to join.

The strict part is going through the aspiring process, since only by doing so can you be admited in the Empire. We'll be doing the favor of asking anyone we think fit to try their luck in our ranks.
Title: Re: [GUILD] The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: Sangwa on October 10, 2006, 04:30:49 pm
Double post to wake you up.

I have update the Dark Empire's site and I will soon update this thread here.

Also I'd like to make an announcement:

The Empire is looking for guilds to strenghten its Forces. These guilds are supposed to become part of the Empire. No such thing as allies as far as the Empire is concerned. To the members of these guilds shall be given imperial titles, they shall remain with their structure and their leader shall become an Overlord of the Empire.

"What does that mean?" You ask.
It means your guild will be working for the Empire. And since your guild will become part of the Empire, it will be working for itself as well.

"What are the advantages?"
You will be part of the oldest cause in planeshift. We have well determined goals, traced methods and a dynamic structure.
Imperial guilds will surely grow faster and demonstrate a high quality. We offer to host the guild's information in our site and to provide simple forums (we haven't got people to skin them yet.) All the other imperial guilds present, whichever force they belong to, will interact with your own, aiding you on the things your guild does not specialize in.

"I don't see any imperial guilds yet."
Neither do why. However Natrina and Nurahk have gotten two guilds very well thought of. All they need is some more capable members and they're ready to do. They will still be able to support you, even in a protoguild situation. The Empire is witnessing great changes and this call is for those who want to be pioneers alongside with us.

"So, you're an alliance of guilds now?"
Aren't you paying attention? We're an Empire. We have a management guild and two kinds of councils where things are decided. In the Empire each person works for each other. The imperial titles serve interguild functions, as to assure organized leadership when members from different guilds work with each other.
Unlike what happens in alliances, you don't keep for yourself and you don't belong merely to your own guild. Once in an Imperial guild you can choose to go to whichever imperial guild you wish, as long as you are seen as capable of carrying out the respective duties.
The Empire is one people divided by different guilds with different purposes. Not a group of similar guilds allied towards some common cause.

Title: Re: [GUILD] The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: zanzibar on October 10, 2006, 05:02:40 pm
Chauncellor is the middle english spelling.
Title: Re: [GUILD] The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: ThomPhoenix on October 10, 2006, 05:07:50 pm
Really?

Quote
Chancellor or chancellour (archaic) (Latin: cancellarius), an official title used by most of the peoples whose civilization has arisen directly or indirectly out of the Roman empire.
Quote
Pronunciation: 'chan(t)-s(&-)l&r
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English chanceler, from Anglo-French chanceler, from Late Latin cancellarius doorkeeper, secretary, from cancellus
Quote
[Middle English chaunceler, from Old French chancelier, from Late Latin cancellrius, doorkeeper, from Latin cancell, bars, latticework. See cancel.]]

So correct spelling is either Chancellor, chancellour, Chanceler or Chaunceler.
Not Chauncellor.

Just nitpicking :P
Title: Re: [GUILD] The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: zanzibar on October 10, 2006, 05:27:16 pm
Just doing a quick search on the internet, I was able to find transcripts of documents using the spelling "Chauncellor".  Perhaps 500 years ago there wasn't only a single spelling.
Title: Re: [GUILD] The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: ThomPhoenix on October 10, 2006, 05:33:09 pm
That's probably it, everyone spelled stuff differently a long time ago.
In current spelling Chauncellor doesn't seem to be acceptable, but the DE is not really "current" but Archaic.

But as all the other DE ranks are spelled in a normal way I felt it was strange that Chancellor was spelled archaic.
It was probably just a typo that happened to be correct in Archaic english ;)

I'll shut up now :P

As much as I love the english language, I would rather this thread stayed on topic :P

So, getting back to that.

The time of organization for the Shadow Force is over, we are now openly recruiting, if you want to learn more, just find me ingame.  I'm usualy busy but I will try to find time.

A small note, before you get accepted into the Shadow Force there will be a time where you are a Disciple.  This means you have to impress me further with your skill and show that you will be loyal to the Shadow Force.

Post by: Nurahk on October 10, 2006, 08:23:49 pm
Due to the Shadow Forces Unique nature and suspicious, crazy leader, many thing will be different between it and the other three guilds.

I can not say what the Steel and Arcane will be doing though, I imagine they will continue with the aspirant system.
Title: Re: [GUILD] The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: ThomPhoenix on October 10, 2006, 08:26:53 pm
But most members are already in Shadow, as I'm told, so why the open recruiting?
Title: Re: [GUILD] The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: Nurahk on October 10, 2006, 08:32:44 pm
Hmm, whoever told you that was mistaken.

Most members are undecided.  I have very few Shadows, mainly because I'm picky about who I recruit.

Speaking of which, I should clarify that open recruiting.  What I mean is that anybody can become a Disciple, you won't necesarily be allowed in though.

Update.

I have updated the promotional post. Check it out, as it is very different from the last one.
I chose not to post detailed information and instead made it interactive with the site. This way people read the small descriptions and then choose if they want to know more.
Title: Re: [GUILD] The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: Phinehas on October 14, 2006, 09:03:41 pm
So, if I understand correctly, you, as chancellor, will not have your own guild within the empire, correct? Your job would be to run the empire as a whole?
Title: Re: [GUILD] The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: Sangwa on October 15, 2006, 05:56:15 pm
I will lead the Empire's Superintendency, responsible for supervising the guilds. My job will be to work with all the other guilds and see that interaction between them is present everytime it seems required. I will be also making sure the Empire stays dynamic and that the opinions of the imperialists are all used in its favor. That's why I made the Councils.

We aren't sure if we'll keep the "guild" itself. We will probably make it secret, just to avoid name stealing.
Title: Re: [GUILD] The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: ThomPhoenix on October 15, 2006, 06:40:31 pm
If I understand correct, this will be the guild's new structure?

Dark Empire Guild (secret) (leader=Sangwa)
|
|
Dark Empire Alliance, including:
|            |        |             |
Arcane    Steel   Shadow   Merchant Guilds

|            |         |             |
Members of several of those guilds will be allowed into the Council.

Title: Re: [GUILD] The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: Sangwa on October 15, 2006, 07:37:06 pm
The Dark Empire "guild" will cease to exist. We'll keep it as secret so we don't have someone stealing it.

The structure should be like this:

Dark Empire --> Imperial Guilds (Arcane Steel Shadow Loyalists) --> Imperialists (aka members)

Arrows mean "is/are composed by."

I'll repeat. Joining the Empire is not the same as joining an Alliance. Each guild is part of the Empire, not its ally. You can even join the Empire alone, without joining any guild, as nowhere in the Aspirant Guide does it mention such a thing. We will probably not use the "Alliance" option in the guild system, as we don't see any benifits in using that system.
The Imperialists lead the Empire together. Of course the hierarchic flow has influence to the kind of decisions brought about.
Title: Re: [GUILD] The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: ThomPhoenix on October 15, 2006, 07:51:23 pm
I know that, but there's currently no way to have subguilds inside a guild, but it is possible to have several guilds inside an alliance, that's why I called it the "Dark Empire Alliance". I thought you were going to use the Alliance function to make the structure work, although the DE won't actually be an alliance. So, the DE will just be separate guilds, and you will coordinate it through /tell's? Or are you going to belong to a guild too?
Title: Re: [GUILD] The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: Sangwa on October 15, 2006, 07:59:10 pm
We'll be divided as far as it concerns the guild system. Each guild will be a... guild.

We communicate like members from different guilds do. Does the Alliance option come with a chat tab? I'm a rather distracted guy, I could have missed that. If so we'll use it then. If it doesn't have, I can't see how it would make the structure work further... All the Alliance option does is allow members to know who is in the alliance, and the Empire's guilds will have pretty obvious names.

I didn't understand the context of the last question. I can't see what it has to do.
Title: Re: [GUILD] The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: ThomPhoenix on October 15, 2006, 08:37:50 pm
Last question:
As the DE will be split up into multiple guilds, to which guild will you belong as a member?

First question:
The alliance function doesn't have alliance chat right now, but many people requested it, so it might be implemented later.
Title: Re: [GUILD] The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: Sangwa on October 15, 2006, 10:26:22 pm
I won't be belonging to any Imperial Guild. At least not right now.

Then when the alliance function becomes useful, we'll probably use it.

That has been a topic I have been working on since I was granted a leadership position in the Empire.
I did not create the Empire myself, I joined it as an imperialist without leadership functions. I raised through the ranks until I reached the position I now find myself in. I believe my contribute to the Dark Empire as an imperialist, in the times I did not lead, was a solid one and allowed the Empire to grow to what it is today.
Draklar and Aelya (the ones who lead the Empire at the time) trusted me, and I trusted them as well to make the right decisions. I had envisioned my raise through the ranks as I saw it as utterly necessary at the time, and they did not fail to bring this vision about. Of course I stated my ideas, as dialogue is the base of any good relation. And I would have respected them if they had thought of another way to empower the Empire, as long as I witnessed it work.

I expect nothing less from those who choose to join the Empire. And I crave for the opinions of my subordinates, as it is them who I try to please best.

Post by: Sangwa on October 17, 2006, 06:37:58 pm
It's a very well organized "guild" for now. It'll fortunely cease to be a guild though, and start to be something more like an Empire. This has been our current orientation; we have gone through many efforts to draw the Dark Empire's structure and essence towards a complete harmony with the Planeshift Setting. Some of these changes were subtle enough to go unoticed.

I believe we're coming up with some pretty good results.

And you can roleplay with us at any time. We keep in character all the time.
I do not plan to create special Events or Quests. Sangwa will give out quests when he feels the need to. As to events, those who strike the imperialists as useful should surely witness an event with the Dark Empire. Like it or not.

I should have linked this somewhere earlier. If you're interested in DE's background visit the Empire's Library (http://psdarkempire.19.forumer.com/viewforum.php?f=5).

We are currently thinking on developing entertaining activities (http://psdarkempire.19.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=18&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0) that can be preformed everytime imperialists (or friendly commoners) get together.

We'd appreciate help on those and any kind of opinions. We haven't tested any, so if some of you would do it we'd be really thrilled.
We're thinking of developing some of the games into tests (for the imperialists) and contests (with a record of scores and marks.)

Post by: Sangwa on January 12, 2007, 11:33:44 am
Some might have noticed that the Empire guild tag no longer exists. This is due to a structural change in this project, as we've implemented a banding system of higher scope. We can be considered an Organization for as far as objective terms are concerned. And a compact Empire within the roleplay.
This seemed to arise some doubt within some peope, hence my doubled attempt at clarifying it.


Other news are that the Empire is currently working upon forming yet another guild, this one with military functions: The Imperial Guard.

If your character is a demanding warrior and looking for new chances at its career, do contact me or apply for the Empire's Steel Force at the Empire's Headquarters (http://psdarkempire.19.forumer.com/index.php). This is a great oppurtunity for those who wish to achieve high titles, as my focus will lean heavily on these warriors' efforts.

You can check out the current established guilds of the Empire, to have an idea of our quality standards:

The Empire has been successful in improving its structure. We now have one Guild per Force, with capacity to grow and form guilds of its own in the future.

At Sangwa's request I'm continuing a discussion here from the Imperial Guard's thread...

/me approaches the Lemur and looks down at his bad leg with a grin.

"Are you calling our Chancellor a softy? Sounds like betrayal to the Dark Empire in my ears. You're under arrest! Men, get him out of my sight and into the darkest dungeon we have."

(P.S.: for those without any sense of humor .. I'm joking :P
Why yes, Hwnae... I am. I would think, however, that you would know better than to challenge my power or opinion.

Its easy to spot an imperial, even though its been a while since I was in there, I still know the requirements to be an imperial, so they stick out quite easily

First Requirement: Be a complete narcissistic ass who thinks their guild is the only good one.

Second Requirement: Love to argue, and complain.

Third Requirement: Be very inactive, and only stay online for limited amounts of time, and 80% of your online time should be spent standing around doing nothing, the rest of the 20% left should be spent loafing on the main PS forums remembering the 'good' days of PS, and trolling other member's posts.



Thats in regard to phinehas' statement. Comments like that annoy me, and provoke me to make such comments about the guild as a whole.

Really sangwa and hwnae are the only DE members I have ever met who don't think they're the best thing since sliced bread... I like that
I barely even know you... and that situation does not induce me to think highly of your opinion... For the rest, Sangwa's right... it smacks of jealousy. I am no great advocate of the Empire... I have no personal love for the organization, only a friendship with one or two of its members... I have been the Archsage, and I have had the entire Empire offered to me if I wanted it... So forgive me if I consider my opinion in this to be slightly more reliable than your own...

As for you, Sangwa my old friend... while I understand the need to portray your guild in a positive light... I suggest a portrayal of perfection that you appear to be attempting might be a tad presumptious...

There was a kran named tassadar, who was a member of Vaalnor.

Zan would know.

Never knew about any Tassadar but I did know Archon. Either way, look back to my reply in the Imperial Guard thread (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=29592.30) for the real situation. A man is allowed to switch jobs after all.

Really sangwa and hwnae are the only DE members I have ever met who don't think they're the best thing since sliced bread... I like that

Well it's good that we're in charge then, ain't it? ;D

By the way, you won't find any players behind the Imperials who fit this description. The Dark Empire strives to be a rolemodel when it comes to organisations, guilds and roleplay in general. That doesn't mean we think we're the best, it means we try to be the best.

I see the Empire as one of the bridges between Devs and players. Devs build this game while the players play in it. The Dark Empire is made up out of players but we do more than just play the game. We try to create as well, building an empire within the confinements of the settings. While doing this we contribute to the larger community. The Arcane studies many aspects of the Planeshift reality and write books about it to share that knowledge. The Loyal provides weapons, stock and ores to any that want to buy it. The Steel provides protection to whomever requests it.

We're definitely not the only ones doing this, there are a lot of others who contribute to the community in similar or very different ways.

As for you, Sangwa my old friend... while I understand the need to portray your guild in a positive light... I suggest a portrayal of perfection that you appear to be attempting might be a tad presumptious...

An expected opinion; you have not seen the Empire for a while. It changed and it is perfect. If I'm wrong though, I will fix it over and over again until I get it right, like we've been doing since always. If you disagree with any specific part, do tell. If you only have a feeling that it is not as perfect as I claim, then I must point you to the website (http://darkempire.xordan.com) so you can focus your opinion.

As a side note, I've delivered the Empire the hands of many. Nurhak, Tharos, Natrina, Jjairr, Phinehas... Some took the chance, others didn't. I have absolute trust and will take great risks when I believe in the ability of someone. I've been wrong many times, though not about those I've named, but the reason it hasn't bothered the Empire is because I also have had the wisdom to know how much I detain from what I deliver.
I hope this can also explain why I am soft. If it can't, it's probably because you're not thinking hard enough!

Really sangwa and hwnae are the only DE members I have ever met who don't think they're the best thing since sliced bread... I like that

Hey! And to think I thought you were nice.  :(

ah.... sorry parallo... *pat* *pat*


All in all I just get irritated by people, and then judge the guild they're in, sorry.

Again, call it jealousy.

The Dark Empire is an ambitious project. It's normal, and healthy, that its members have some measure of confidence and that some might even be over confident. As long as it doesn't step in that person's way, or in any Imperial's way, we don't mind having egocentric people aboard.

I called what you quoted jealousy because it seemed to be an annoyed reply to something, because it was exaggerated and because it seemed like it was spoken by a an Aspirant that failed its trial and found the Empire not interesting. It's a valid opinion, but the way it was expressed was far from being ideal.

I want comments on the new Promotional Thread Topic and on the new structure of the Dark Empire.

As for you, Sangwa my old friend... while I understand the need to portray your guild in a positive light... I suggest a portrayal of perfection that you appear to be attempting might be a tad presumptious...

An expected opinion; you have not seen the Empire for a while. It changed and it is perfect. If I'm wrong though, I will fix it over and over again until I get it right, like we've been doing since always. If you disagree with any specific part, do tell. If you only have a feeling that it is not as perfect as I claim, then I must point you to the website (http://darkempire.xordan.com) so you can focus your opinion.

As a side note, I've delivered the Empire the hands of many. Nurhak, Tharos, Natrina, Jjairr, Phinehas... Some took the chance, others didn't. I have absolute trust and will take great risks when I believe in the ability of someone. I've been wrong many times, though not about those I've named, but the reason it hasn't bothered the Empire is because I also have had the wisdom to know how much I detain from what I deliver.
I hope this can also explain why I am soft. If it can't, it's probably because you're not thinking hard enough!
Your charisma does you credit, Sangwa, and makes you an excellent leader. I do not, at the moment, have the time to peruse your guild and offer the more poignant criticism that you deserve. I can, however, say this: I have now been in this realm for three and a half years, and have had my eye on the Empire for the duration. It has always been excellent, but always far from perfect. I hope you will allow me the presumption to say that if having not achieved perfection in three years, it is doubtful that it has been achieved in the last few months. I have never seen a perfect guild, and I do not believe I ever shall.

We will always be different, Sangwa. You are ever the leader, I am ever the wizard. You are ever warm and passionate, I am ever cold and calculating. You ever hold to your opinion, I ever confident in mine. It is enough. Let us be satisfied in our friendship and quarrel over the Empire not.

Perfection is a matter of opinion and personal preference. If you ever see someone else obtain it for you, get married to that person immediately! ... change your sexual preference if you must :P

That being said I personally think it is a good thing that perfection is not obtained, it keeps us working and striving for that perfection. Always putting the bar a bit higher for the next step, always evolving.

And I'm the two of you combined - Pure awesome :P

I'm just dropping by the thread to give you guys a nice thumbs up.  I read over the laws - simple, straightforward and reasonable - I like it.  God knows I would have made it much much more complicated :P

The Site is great, I like the use of dark blue instead of black.  Doesn't give off as much of an evil feel.

My only criticism is the Beliefs, Religion and Ideals part.  Putting aside the fact that I believe the Dark Empire should have a Religion, I think that this particular topic demands a few more paragraphs ;)
I also could not find a "Goals" section, which I think is a high priority.  What with "Dark" being in your name and so everybody assuming you are the next Sauron :P

Anyways, carry on :D

@Nurahk: True, now that you speak of it... I'll try to add that to the information section as soon as I get into the mindset required to work it. About the laws, they're the creation of Hwnae, who made them that clear. Fortunately too, as far as I'm concerned.
The Dark Empire has no religion basically because it was founded by a Diaboli. It could change in the future, dependent on the effort of religious characters within.

@Phinehas: Our differences are exactly why I enjoy discussing with you. It's always good to exchange perspectives with people with diverse and reasonable opinions.

Perfection is a matter of opinion and personal preference. If you ever see someone else obtain it for you, get married to that person immediately! ... change your sexual preference if you must :P

That's how I see at as well, and I believe that always striving to improve is perfect. :P

Good luck with that Parallo ;)

As for high and mighty behavior. You'll always have that with some people. DE tries to get ambitious people and so that means sometimes they can have big ego's to. However sometimes people get offended by people playing characters with huge ego's. Garile is a lot more selfish then I'll ever be and she is definately not a nice kitten to people who she doesn't know sometimes. But there is a world of difference between you as a character finding that annoying or you as the player.

If something annoys you that's only IC behavior just tell so OOC. I don't think I have met an imperialist yet who wasn't open for some constructive critism OOC. Eventhough obviously it doesn't always mean they change right away.
Title: Re: [ORGANIZATION]The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: Sangwa on December 04, 2007, 01:26:41 pm
I have been referring to IC behavior as well, when commenting on the behavior. I consider OOC behavior a topic not to be discussed under a Guild Thread, while IC behavior will certainly motivate some people's choice. Hence why I usually discuss IC behavior without discriminating which it is.

I think Earl meant IC behavior as well, considering he most probably hasn't had any relevant personal contact with any of the players.

It could change in the future, dependent on the effort of religious characters within.

I have improved the topic post, to add more to the story, making it a little bit more extensive, but adding an important part of the past and additional references that make it less egocentric. I've also made some visual changes, but nothing too important.

Sorry for the double post, but it is necessary to keep this updated.

Anyway, the Dark Empire has improved mechanisms that haven't been mentioned yet. These are the simple Member Pages (http://darkempire.xordan.com/?page_id=6) (click on the member's name to see his description) and the Honorable Mentions (http://darkempire.xordan.com/?page_id=16). The first serve to keep record of our members' recent and not so recent background and habits and the second exists to gratify our members for their feats.

Another curiosity is our Join the Cause! (http://darkempire.xordan.com/?page_id=38) page, which has an Aspirant guide and explains why and how you can join.

Well, I hope you find these fun. And if you have any ideas on how to improve any of them, do tell!
Title: Re: [ORGANIZATION]The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: Velh Krome on January 22, 2008, 01:18:14 pm
Looks well organized and deeply structured, nice!
What I struggle with though is, whats it all about at all? (No sorry, I didnt read through all the 28 pages)

The Dark Empire is meant to be a sub-society among Yliakum's?
Why would one want to join? To maintain "Order, Unity and Power", to train, and for the plain sake of being a part of a guild meant to be grand? Or just because it's that old?

To sum it up:
Icly you are based on a family-clan. The clan grew and meanwhile is meant to be that big that it also needs a guard to "watch over the Empire's safety". It has its own department of traders and scholars, and even an intelligence agency. It also seems to have outposts.
The latter one, does one have to understand it like it just bought a piece of land, built a watchtower on it and uses it to watch out, like one would use his farm, private property-like?
I am asking this because it still feels as if the Empire was trying to undercut the Octarchy and its power. I am quite sure this is not the case, at least its said "The Dark Empire respects the Government and abides to the common law.". But I could imagine that people picture the Empire as a shady association, so feel free to clear it up.
Basing it all on a princess, kings and queens, monarchy: Isnt that a bit off the setting?

So, your departments.. people join the Scholars for studying for the sake of studying ("to attain greater levels of enlightenment."), the Guards for guarding ("a Guild created to protect the Dark Empire's brethren and their ambitions."), the Traders for trading and crafting ("Imperial Trades' main focus is to create and manage the Dark Empire's economy." and the Agency for investigating.

Dont get me wrong: Reading through the promotional threads already provides very decent atmosphere and quickens my appetite to know more! The whole conglomerate undoubtly will do greatly for roleplaying, and having a deep feeling of a well figured background-story!
But I am sure I am not alone, wondering: Is there any other goal, any purpose other than exisiting for the only reason to exist? What's the Empire aiming for, besides remaining alive and 'being there'?

Hehe. Just read the Topic post. It makes no sense to read through all 28 Pages. The topic post clearly states what the Dark Empire is about: an attempt to create a community out of hardworking ambitious individuals.

Quote
Why would one want to join?
All you said. The search for glory is usually what moves heroes and the chance to succeed at a career motivates other adventurers. But obviously the main goal is to extend the Empire and its culture. In my opinion it seems more gratifying than fighting good or evil just for the sake of it. Certainly people have different opinions though! Some even want to simply be peaceful.

Quote

Our current outpost was bought and the Empire is usually ready to help the Hydlaa community. Based on this, I think only irrational people would consider it shady... If you keep in mind that we've been around since always and keep abiding to the law.

Quote
Is there any other goal, any purpose other than exisiting for the only reason to exist? What's the Empire aiming for, besides remaining alive and 'being there'?
This is what I thought you were getting at. Good! A pertinent topic.

For starters, keep in mind that every guild's first goal is existing and being alive.

Besides that, the Empire's purpose is to provide a cultural and motivational base for characters and then goals for them to achieve. These goals obviously target the Empire's success.
All our Forces ("departments" as you call them :P) have works in progress and some of these tasks (accessible to most members) promote team play. From the beginning I've seen Guilds as working associations, and I believe we make our Imperial Guilds serve that purpose just well.

I hope this has answered all your questions... If not, do insist! I appreciate that you've taken enough time to analyze this organization and give your thoughts.

It also seems to have outposts.
The latter one, does one have to understand it like it just bought a piece of land, built a watchtower on it and uses it to watch out, like one would use his farm, private property-like?

We bought a guildhouse in Hydlaa, completely legal. We call it an outpost because in our character's minds the world of Yliakum is larger than the current game and for our Empire's ambitions the guildhouse is a sort of outpost, an embassy in the capital city of the first level. We're assuming that in the future, when more land is available guilds will be able to own multiple properties.

But I could imagine that people picture the Empire as a shady association, so feel free to clear it up.

How do you imagine people picturing the Empire as shady? I honestly don't get that. It minds it's own business, it doesn't wage war against anyone and doesn't enforce anything on anyone who isn't a member. It's goals are order and lawfulness, among others ... now how can any of that be shady?

Post by: Velh Krome on January 22, 2008, 08:49:42 pm
Okay, thanks so far!

Quote
Just read the Topic post
Of course I did.

I think this one here could be a central remark:
"In my opinion it seems more gratifying than fighting good or evil just for the sake of it."
Considering the well figured and deep background, history and all, "to create a community out of hardworking ambitious individuals" surely is a very valid approach.

But, and please dont take it as an offense now, what makes the Empire unique, I mean, whats the difference between the Empire and any guild without a specific purpose, other then being a group?

Two more questions still left:
1. Are you still roleplaying to base on a princess, rooting on monarchy?
2. Having a guard, what type of are your enemies? As you apparently are a non-offensive, peaceful community, why would one want to attack you at all? Is the Empire meant to be that huge that it needs a strictly organized army to defend itself?

And as a sidenote, to be around for long, abiding the law, doesnt necessarily mean to be honest, it may also mean one can hide and cover certain activities poperly;)


EDIT (having seen Hwnae's):
Oh, no no, I referred to a (abandoned?) fictive outpost around the bdroad-ruins.

Hm.. I am not sure if "shady" is the proper word for what I mean. To put it differently, the Empire may appear as an organisation not opening their purposes. So maybe one could wonder about honesty and lawfulness (Octarch's law that is) due to ignorance. Sangwa may call it irrational, but so can for instance be fear, while still being justified though.

Thanks for your patience.

I'm not sure what you consider a specific purpose... As I see it, we have one of the most specific purposes around: to improve the Empire's culture and to acquire land for it.

What makes us unique? Firstly, unlike most guilds, our background has not appeared from thin air. Most of it has actually happened, under one form or another. Second, we have a specific culture (laws, conduct, etc.) and we strongly promote our members' creativity in improving it.
Third we are the first successful organization separating into several guilds. Our guilds work like one entity, which doesn't happen in any other organization or alliance that I know of. Fourth we are the oldest player organization around, which simply means that anyone joining the Empire will join a very stable organization. Fifth, we now keep records of every Imperial Character, so our players will even have a public, stable place to have their characters' recorded.
There's plenty of stuff that makes us unique! I could start naming some systems and peculiarities from each Guild, but that would take too long.

1. Are you still roleplaying to base on a princess, rooting on monarchy?
Our story states that a Princess founded the Empire which is now run by Sangwa Greenmoon. I hope this answers?

2. Having a guard, what type of are your enemies? As you apparently are a non-offensive, peaceful community, why would one want to attack you at all? Is the Empire meant to be that huge that it needs a strictly organized army to defend itself?
Our characters have noted jealousy and other strong sentiments similar to hatred directed towards the Empire. Another reason is the fact that we are planning on exploring the Labyrinths and other lands not taken by the Government.

Quote

It does makes us more trustworthy than any other organization around... If not, tell me what's their trick *winks*

Post by: Phinehas on January 22, 2008, 10:07:40 pm
I have just a couple things to add, as a bystander.

For one, the Empire was here first... So just because there may be other similar guilds(in your opinion), you can't blame the Empire for that. It's the other guilds that are similar to the Empire, not vice verse... It'd be like the Webster dictionary for being similar to other dictionaries... It was here first, the other dictionaries got their idea from it, not the other way around...

Secondly, I for one, am glad that the Empire isn't one of those guilds whose purpose has to do with a single, specific storyline or plot. They're not a cult dedicated to some unknown(made up) god, they're not the remnants of a city who fought a great monster(that never actually existed), they're not a family group that came from another world and is trying to make a new life for themselves... Those are all guilds that by their very striving to be original are unoriginal and cliche. The Empire, on the other hand, is at first glance a little mundane, but on closer observation more original than the vast majority of other guilds here for the very reason that they didn't feel the need to make up some weird story to justify their existence.
Title: Re: [ORGANIZATION]The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: Sangwa on July 09, 2008, 02:00:07 pm
With the Empire's amazing growth many policies, rules, laws and conducts have come to pass that needed to be organized into one document, so every Imperialist or anyone interested in the Empire could access the core of its order.

For this purpose we have designed the Imperial Constitution (http://darkempire.xordan.com/?page_id=59). Through it one can fully understand the Empire, its Forces, its Guilds, its people and its structure.


With this document making our structure available we hope we will get more critiques and opinions to tune it further. Reflecting what happens in the Empire itself, the Imperial Constitution is meant to evolve through the years, without boundaries.

Many more from the leadership are gone.  There were young ones to take their place however.... perhaps they and the remaining Imperialists founded a new city in the Stone Labyrinths.  For now, the Empire is sleeping.]

I agree, within a specific period of the DE's existence they were great. But I dont agree that it was Rinenud who caused their apparent demise. I would even tend to say Rinenud was one of (at least unknown to me) few who was honest OOCly.
Now, I wouldnt dare to hypothesize if the DE's success was based on OOCish shadiness or covering honesty, even if that, I confess, might have had some impression of superiority.

As for the DE, Garile was attempting to revive it but that failed somewhat. I'd imagine her spirits were rather dulled by the remaining members and their lagging enthusiasm.

The DE is very much alive in spirit. Note the "in spirit". Yes, we need more members and yes, we need some of the old folks to return. We also need FTP access to our website (somehow nobody can login anymore :P ) and I've been trying to fix that for ages now, no luck. I'm always active and always standing by. I just don't have much time to play anymore since my new study which eats up all of my time. I just can't play regularly anymore.

But we're alive on the forums though  ;)

Title: Re: [ORGANIZATION]The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: Draklar on July 29, 2010, 11:40:18 am
stop abusing our fine language. "Gotta" is the mark of an illiterate. Learn to use modal verbs.
Ya tell 'im, homie! Dat cat need to learn dem do-dos an' do-nots, as far as I conce...ranated. Er.  Coz abusin' ain't right, y'know what I sayin'? Yo!

Yet be that as it may, thou hast to keep in thy mind that the english language undergoes constant evolution and simple informal "gotta" should not be held as an abomination greater than, say, writing "can't" in place of "can not".


Also, bloodedIrishman, I hear your big gift is rarely up to the job.
Title: Re: [ORGANIZATION]The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: Draklar on July 29, 2010, 01:07:32 pm
Not only should it be, it is.
Oh, but I beg to differ.
Both "can't" and "gotta" are absolutely forbidden in academic writing and both are accepted in informal writing.
The mechanisms that governed creation of these words are also essentially the same. Both were created through lazy and hasty use of the language.
In case of "can not", the proper vowel of "not" was reduced to schwa (as it is often the case in fast speech) and subsequently turned into a further reduced form of schwa, which is typically represented by an apostrophe.
In case of "gotta" this mechanism reduced the proper vowel of "to" to the schwa sound, which is represented by the final 'a'.
There is no possibility of having a seperate word with only schwa vowel (it would indicate the word has no stress), so the reduced forms have to be connected with words that actually have long vowels.
And as both "can not" and "got to" are in common use, it was convenient to create representations of this hasty and careless speech through these two shortened words.
The only real difference between them is that "can't" is older and language users had more time to get used to it.

But hey, on the other hand... perhaps your personal attack was right. Perhaps four years of English philology really taught me nothing. Who knows?
Title: Re: [ORGANIZATION]The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: Draklar on July 29, 2010, 01:28:11 pm
Four years of English philology and you still can't spell "separate". Dear oh dear.
Ah, indeed. This argument truly counters every single line of reasoning I have written in my previous post.
You have me on my knees. Really.

Well, not exactly really, because I'm not actually here in my room writing all this, sitting on my knees. That would be uncomfortable. Of course I could go fetch my kneepads, but that would require me to go fetch them and put them on and... eh... you know what, theoretically speaking you have me on my knees.

P.S. I'm not a native speaker and philology indicates studying theory of language as well as history/culture of the language users. Not spelling words. That would be like high school, tops. But good game, man.
Title: Re: [ORGANIZATION]The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread
Post by: Draklar on July 29, 2010, 04:17:58 pm
You begin informal letters with "Dear Sir/Madam"? Dude.

And what's this with you telling me that my education as a philologist is irrelevant, and yet demanding expertise of other philologists? Why is it? Because they have fancy titles next to their names? And that means their basic philology education was somehow superior to ours? They also make spelling mistakes from time to time, y'know.
But fine, if you wish to learn my sources, PM me and I'll give you the names.

He is correct, both of those terms are accepted informally but would not look good in a professional context. Can't should always be written as "can not" formally, and gotta you need to write as "have to" because the informal contraction gotta represents "got to" as in, "I got to", "we got to", et cetera, which is grammatically incorrect.

Seems I've gotta get a message to you (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RUjnqH3kMw): the fact bloodedIrishman sucks at grammar doesn't quite support your point in any way. He should've said "I've gotta" instead of "I gotta", but that doesn't in any way prove gotta by itself is an erroneous form.

Wrong. You would say, informally I've gotta which is short for I have got to. Not I gotta. It represents got to. Additionally, there is no proper definition for gotta that supports your interpretation. Get out of the philology class and into the real world, and maybe check the O.E.D. once in a while.

Aww Rinenud, I actually hoped you'd give me more time to come up with the ultimate sarcastic retort.

So now instead of making a funny for everyone to enjoy, I need to make a completely boring response (say "thanks" to Rinenud, guys...). So.

Yes, my dear fellow poster. We do have rules for informal discourse. In fact, these very rules allow us to communicate in here, seeing as this is in fact an informal discourse as well *swoon*

Also, in the world you do not typically hear "I have got to go", but /aivgotegeu/ (e is supposed to be schwa). You get my drift? We do not speak with letters, but with sounds. And "I've gotta go" is a representation of these sounds. So if you hear someone say "I gotta go" (/aigotegeu/), you do correct him to "I've gotta go" (/aivgotegeu/), naturally.
And only robot would say /aihavgottugeu/, geez.

Let me take a crack at this since it was only last semester for me.

*pushes up her sleeves*

Of course there are rules that govern informal conversation. Any kind of speaking has rules, whether unspoken or written. This is how the lines between the different styles are determined and how the appropriate time to use such language is determined. "Standard English" is considered "the proper way of speaking and writing" while in an academic setting and anything less is unacceptable. However, due to the rules of informal discourse, "standard English" is actually considered inappropriate and therefore not used. Also we may add that the internet is largely a place of informal conversation; therefore, standard English is at most times inappropriate and unwelcome to be perfectly honest.

As a side note, we might even go off on a tangent and say that the internet being the unique entity that it is, necessitated its own rules for governing conversation. Thus lolspeak can, in a way, be possibly seen as the proper form of communication, and all the rest of us are merely dragging our preferred rules of conversation with us when we use any other form of conversation.

Back to the original topic, another issue with the use of formal English within an informal setting is the fact that the "standard" is not in of itself the most grammatical in terms of usage. It has been agreed upon that it is the standard, but it contains various inconsistencies that make it less than ideal for the average person while speaking. Thus, many groups have "corrected" the inconsistent spots in their own ways. These corrections are usually what make up the vernaculars and dialects. I would love to give examples here but unfortunately I can't remember them at the moment... Darn calculus and its brain draining properties....

*shakes her fist*

I can see clearly now that there are other guilds with worse names and that absolutism wasn't the problem; the problem was me being sick with leading.

I admit to know about the history of the Dark Empire, but whether this is in game knowledge, second hand knowledge, or knowledge I gained from reading this thread will remain a mystery.

Sangwa, as far as I can recall you threw a fit, insulted quite a few good people, and quit. After what you have done it's best for the Empire if Parallo runs it on his own.

That was exactly what happened. I wouldn't add the word "good" to it though.

When I say "settle" I mean it in the sense that I'll stick around, not that I'll set my sticky fingers into the whole thing. No, none of that for me. It gets repetitive after a while and I blame it on the almost stagnant human conscience (yes, I blame us all.)
I just came around to see if there was currently anyone playing with the Dark Empire, out of curiosity.

Plus if there's to be a new initiative it'll need the advertisement. And bad advertisement is better than no advertisement here (anyone remembers the Cabal?).

I second that. Ever since Sangwa left the Dark Empire, the guild was only getting better and better.
Some of its successive successes include:
Clearly, the Dark Empire is doing just fine without Sangwa and the aforementioned person's interest in coming back to the organization is nothing but a downright insult to all the remaining imperials. Sangwa, you're such a jerk. Go away.

All hail Emperor <randomperson>!!!

Post by: Draklar on August 09, 2010, 11:53:24 pm
No! I can not bear this any longer! The plan is just too vile and evil!

Guys, this is how it goes.
Nowadays, the Dark Empire is really controlled by non-imperials, who fool the remaining imperials into believing that their guild is no longer active. By this, non-imperials eliminate any remaining imperials, and take absolute control over the guild. Now once there are no imperials left, the following scenario will turn into reality:

Dark Empire is controlled by non-imperials
imperials constitute 0% of the entire community
non-imperials constitute 100% of the entire community

Therefore: Dark Empire contains the entire community.

Do you know what that means? That means total domination, people! Wake up before it's too late!

Do not mind the sperm-stained fellow in the dark corner over there. Although his appearance is a rotting and caved-in one, (much like his rear-end, which served as an Imperial deal-maker in his days) he is quite harmless and is unable to keep himself from rambling about the most foul things he can imagine. You see, Rinenud is afflicted with a curse. The man has, for many years, struggled to keep his foul temper and particularly bad form of neurosis behind bars, as the Empire has tried to as well, literally.
When I first took Rinenud under guidance he was but a young fellow, rebellious and outspoken. Although no guild would take him in, I went ahead and tried to guide the young boy into a world of fair communication and glamour. My friend at that time, Rexford Fortune took pity on the boy and decided to take him off my hand, at a slim sum of 20 tria. I, always on a never-ending journey of money acquisition, naturally accepted.

I later found out that the poor boy had now been turned into Rexford's sex-slave. Now and then I would see the man walk around with his acquired price, who looked sullen, on all fours, crawling through the feces-ridden roads of Hydlaa. A terrible ordeal I hear he has now taken an immense aversion to, and has become quite an obsession with him apparantly.

As the days went on I felt more and more saddened with Rinenud's terrible fate. I decided to put him out of his misery, so I planned what would become his sweet release from this world. Alas it never came. Though I have never failed to complete an assignment or miss out on my target I could not go ahead with the kill that faithfull night as he sat there, broken and terrified in his dirty little hole in the ground. I frowned upon the bones and children's toys I saw lay strewn about, I frowned upon rinenud's apparant violated rear-end. I took pity on the boy, and I hate to admit, I left him there that night, I left him and only to this day find out he still lives. Although he spreads his unconserved rants around town still, I am glad he lives.

I am glad he lives.

Parallo might have been hospitalized for this brief period, but his loyal followers have been carrying out his will. Some more loyally than others... But that's something to be expected of the Dark imperials.

The Empire's situation has improved a very good bit. We now have a new member base: fresh, active and ready to sweep Yliakum from your feet.
We're making good progress in regularizing the Guild situation and we're also bringing forth a fun plot for everyone to participate, with help from some of the best Guilds PlaneShift has to offer. It should be ready in September.

I believe that the key to solving this mistery is the fact Kada was the mistress of nearly all oldbies back then.

My guess is that somewhere during or after the Cabal war, Seperot decided that he wanted an army of oldbies under his control (which would be only natural considering his "army of dragons" thing). Now to achieve this, he first needed to somehow get Kada under his bidding. He created a secret committee, the sole purpose of which was to find out as much about Kada as possible.

And so it happened.

One beautiful day he approached Kada and said: "From this day on your doing my biding. You're oldbies are going to do eveyrthing I tell you their gonig to do."

Obviously, Kada was shocked. And not even by Seperot's bizarre spelling, to which everyone were used to anyway.

But after Seperot's subsequent words, Kada was confused no more...
"...or I'll tell everynoe your realy a big hairy guy."

Kada was shattered. What should he do? Have his unblemished reputation ruined? Or give this unstable maniac the power for which he yearned so much? After much deliberation, he decided only one right thing could be done in such situation...
He disappeared.

That's my theory anyway, and I think everyone will agree it is a very plausible one.

So, now the father is offering us the warmth of his hearth again?
Very interesting indeed.

I won't be showing up yet, but I'll give this advice to anyone who wants to reboot the Scholars:
Create an offline backup of ALL BOOKS, ASAP.

Now to more technical matters:
Sangwa, contact Xordan to regain access to the website. I have been unable to login for months and have plagued Xordan on an irregular basis to fix it, but he has been unable to find the problem, since the username/pass should be good. The website's software is horribly outdated and needs a good overhaul, or it'll be spammed to oblivion if anyone dares to open a page you can post in.

Eolas: it's perfect to see you around. Good thing you're not mad about 'the fit.' I'd rephrase your account of the happenings, though: father seems too heavy for a handsome youth such as me.
We have plenty of books backed up OOC, at the Scholar's forums. About the website, I was thinking of using it exactly for that purpose and to keep some descriptions about the Empire. (Still need Parallo's/Roberet's confirmation though). I'll try to see if I can edit the site, if not I'll certainly contact Xordan for help. Wouldn't be the first time.

I've been thinking long about the Empire's leadership and all that. I'm not the best person to lead the Empire, basically because I take leadership too seriously and sometimes forfeit roleplay and fun for the sake of structural perfection.
So I believe it's better for me to be a sort of creativity advisor (conjure plots, criticize) and system manager (take care of site, Promotional Thread, etc.) since I've been around whenever an Imperial has asked me to help with those types of things. The reason why I'm around is because Parallo summoned me.

The OOC aspect of DE was its downfall, at least as far as I'm concerned. There was a resistance to change and a lack of dependence on IC situations that disrupted the organization. And that was mostly my fault: Rinenud politely pointed that out to me.
So most of us agreed that the DE doesn't need forums any more, or a bossy Sangwa.

Leadership will depend on IC situations. Currently Parallo and Roberet have Morwen Greenmoon (current heir) under their control and as such they rule over the Empire. I've tried to lie still and just let things happen, but I currently have the time to influence how fast and good the Empire grows and so I've been working towards the quickest, most fun route (since I'm also playing).

I believe that the key to solving this mistery is the fact that unlike what we like to believe, our social structures are still very primitive.

These things are too complicated to write out in a single post, so long story short:

Guys with low self-esteem tend to insult (especially on the internets, where they're safe) other guys in a desperate attempt to climb the social ladder (they fail obviously, otherwise they wouldn't be all the way down).
Those same guys with low self-esteem go out of their way to be nice to girls, because they desperately want to be liked, but fail to achieve this via their personality alone. Sucking-up seems like the only way to go for them.

As to the promo, did Aelya change from Brimstone to Sulphur?

This is a Promotional Thread of the Dark Empire. There's nothing more on-topic than criticizing and discussing the promotional post itself. So, what are you guys talking about?

Also, the plot we've been devising is almost done. We're just contacting the last guild to help us make it look good. We'll warn everyone of when it starts at the Events section of this forum and when it's over we'll post there the summary and lay credit where it's due.

Join the Empire.

The Dark Empire are still under bringing it self back. We are still awaiting for some of our members to return. I am sure we will update here once we are fully reformed and can go forth to our goals as a guild.

Let us scroll back a few pages shall we and refresh our memories:


Parallo's certainly working all the structural details, and I've collected as much information about the Dark Empire's guild hall....

Things are in motion.

Welcome home, loyal subjects. Things are afoot.

You two are fracking useless.




At least they PRETEND to be alive.

We've recruited members, we're setting a plot in motion and we've been spreading word about the Empire to the four winds. Heck. I'm sure we're the most active guild Planeshift has to offer.

Time for some updating:

The Dark Empire currently has an active member base rounding 10 members. We've established relations with several Guilds, but none of these relations actually constitutes an Alliance.
We've implemented the Imperial Log and Decrees. These are documents kept in our Guild House that contain information about the Empire's actual structure (ranks, guilds, etc.), diplomacy (alliance, friendly relations, etc.) and membership status (members joined/promoted).

Ohhh I was thinking, we have a new player! But no :(

I hope my situation improves too, my dad is looking at internet solutions but that won't happen probably till end of Summer... I mean Winter for you northerners. But I have a good feeling about my Ban being lifted. I do believe HaniX said to me when I first got my ban that the whole community wants me banned... I'd beg to differ about that now.

So is the Empire a bit quiet? Where's Roberet, Rinenud, Camazotz, Parralo, Garile, and the rest?

Still, we have other great players in-game. Just ask around about the Dark Empire, I'm sure you'll find them.

Camazotz, I am as well.

That's why the trap he's planning to get Oralon out of scene, and much more things… There can be only one. But apart from Ilaro, who is a complete bastard when Jilata isn't around (LOL! Women…) and Gartheiz (Honorific Prize to the Best Ass-Kisser on Yliakum) and some others, there are good members. Morwen is cool, for example. And… hm… maybe someone else.

Hehehehe, this is too much flattery. Caraick, thanks for starting it all.

I've never liked Good and Evil distinctions, not in real life and not in games either. It's a whole lot funnier when players and characters alike have to interpret actions and then bet on a side because of what they feel towards it and not because of what they know for sure. It creates all sorts of interesting results as time goes by and relations progress.

I thank you all for the kind words and I hope I'll be able to back them up in the future... Though it's getting harder to stick around PS when I have so much stuff to do.

  • The Steel Force: Guardians of the Empire's people, objectives and law, the Imperials of the Steel Force are warriors of great discipline. They defend the Empire so that the other Forces can do their work peacefully, though every Imperial with fighting skill might be summoned to integrate the militia.

  • The Arcane Force: Keepers of the knowledge the Imperials have amassed and developed through the years, the members of this section deal with education, magic, technology and strategy. The Empire's Library is also their direct responsibility.

  • The Trade Force: The Trades feed the Imperial Cause, creating the resources on which every Imperial resorts to be truly successful. Organized and focused, the Imperial Trades have created immense riches.

  • The Shadow Force: Standing between darkness and light, the Shadow Force mediates the information the Dark Empire receives and delivers.

I would change the colours to this.

Just because The Trade Force is more dealing with recources, so plants is very popular, so green I think is better. The Arcane Force dealing with books and paper so gold is best as they tend to be more weak but more wealthier.

Hehe. I chose the green because in some of the games I play it comes associated with Sages and whatnot. And Yellow because Trades are meant to get us gold. But you know what you pointed me towards? Those colours are too... Colourful for the Dark Empire. I'm getting rid of them.

That is why that name stuck, but could just aswell be I saw it in passing once. When I see lurre I do keep thinking of Atagal and Emmara.

Yes well it was rather funny, I was at the forges (Lurre is into Blacksmithing) and someone /telled me saying "hello Atagal" and I was like "ummm? who's this" yeah forgot the name.

Well then, heading back on topic, how is the Empire going? Any wars lately, he-he-he-he...

We welcome any char that fits DE's setting. And even some that don't get to be used by us. Also, Caraick, you know where we're at, you can come in at any time. Nothing but love for our fellow Adani Order members.

I've always found the thought of a group of people that respect all life to be a very interesting.  I think that if any such group of people existed the would need to know very few people and be, in general, very secluded.  I can think of a few people that just knowing -about- them made me lose almost all respect for life :P

That being said, considering the Adani can't harm a living being, how would they fight the Sithy DE?  Besides talking about the validity of an alignment system, I can't think of any non violent way to kill Sangwa or Gartheiz, as he may be.

An interesting turn of events. I have often considered Jekkar to be the Empire's very own Jar Jar Binks.

Sangwa i hear models himself upon Jabba the Hut.

And Parallo is clearly Princess Leia.

That would make you Greedo; a washed out bounty hunter and background character that's supposed to support the character development of a real character.

He's right, the current recruits are in no way capable of performing complex roleplaying related to stabbing people, glitching through walls to spy and idling your character near an evil guy and checking the log afterwards. We need you Parallo and Rinenud! We need your philosophical ramblings and beer-binging. The empire is lost without you!

The Promotional Thread has been revamped, to respect the current changes made within the Empire. It might be improved soon, but the changes will be minor compared with the current modifications.

The changes were the following: changed flavour text and chapter (Return of the Heir), slightly changed the Brief Description to include our new Dakkru focus, modified the Structure part to include the changes (only the Imperial Log & Decrees point was kept the same here) and to the last part I just added that members do not have to follow Dakkru, but that they can't be atheists.

Xordan's server must be acting strange because the image isn't showing anymore. We'll solve it sooner or later. I hope you enjoy the read (at least the flavour text). Have fun!

Ok, so she's currently a mule alt for paying off our GH debt, but would I be able to apply to get my secondary character into the DE once I can get back to RPing her more? [the one actually named Tessra]
/me pats Caraick's ego to remind him that it's ok, Tesh loves him anyway.

No one gets within the Empire without working and bleeding for it. Quite literally. So we'd like to make known that we welcome all infiltrators with arms wide open.

Also, there's a new update.

The Dark Empire has now adopted a new system: The Imperial Houses.

These are the families of the Empire that have proven their loyalty time and time again. From now on, for an Imperial to be promoted into Overlord or Overseer he shall require to belong to one of these Imperial Houses, by marriage, adoption or natural birth.

The current Houses are:

The Imperial Bloodline, Greenmoon House:
The Greenmoon started out as a mercantile, nomad family that belonged to a very diverse circle of merchants, the Bloodclaw. Sangwa Greenmoon wasn't inclined towards the economy in the traditional way, so he integrated the Dark Empire and through relentless work raised through the ranks until his family was acknowledged by the Council of the Empire as the new Dynasty.
Members: Emperor Khado, Princess Morwen, Princess Yayelle.


The Dusk Force Warden, Goldsmith House: Overlord Roberet Goldsmith slowly climbed the Imperial ranks, working diligently at the side of great figures, the likes of Warlord Hwnae Klarm and Overlord Natrina Greenmoon. At the Empire's darkest hours he stood his ground and took a specially important role in re-establishing the Empire as the Empress Dowager Morwen's Chancellor. Emperor Khado Threesouls Greenmoon acknowledged his deeds and awarded him with an Imperial House. The Goldsmiths currently detain the duty of running the Dusk Force.
Members: Overlord Roberet, Scholar Gartheiz.

Hail!

The Dark Empire is proud to announce that Karlyle and Jilata have been promoted to Overseers. This means that now both these Forces have a direct commander, which means everyone will be seeing more of us and that Guild mechanics shall run even more smoothly. Aren't you just psyched?

Also, be sure to visit the Twilight Fair (http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=39496.0), where the Empire shall be participating to give a little back to the rest of the lovely community.

Hey, anything going on in here? Did the grand old man of PS finally die off?

It would appear to be the case my dear old friend. You know who was responsible for this state of affairs don't you? Yes, him. He whose Name Cannot Be Mentioned. I suppose I take some blame for this; after all, it was my duty to educate and socialise the whelp, but alas it proved beyond even my abilities.

After driving off Sangwa and torturing poor old Jekkar to the verge of a nervous breakdown, I suppose he got bored, his nefarious aims at last realised.

But the Gods, Fate, Destiny - call it what you will - always have the last laugh. The last I heard, the damn iconoclast now spends all his days and nights in continual agony in some monastery, owing to some untreatable disease of the "lower regions" contracted from one of those many ladies of ill repute he so liked to frequent. I knew revenge would be mine one day!

Even Laanx could not preform the duties you mention, breaking that insolent whelp and building a man, not to He Who Cannot Be Named. The insufferable cur made a haimes of all my best machinations.

Ceasing to tell everyone else that their Guilds and they "suck", and focusing your illiteracy instead on me by informing me that I am a "chump", is, I suppose, progress of a sort. Mind you, you were never very bright, so we don't expect too much.

Perhaps if they throw more words at each other it will resolve matters. But when are you guys due back for your seasonal rebirth and subsequent retreating into the shadows to bicker among yourselves? :D

Oh I don't think theres any matters aha besidesI consider this a success

You see in a, evidently futile, effort to showcase some humour. In response to his post which, no doubt in jest, viewed my sig(which was a joke in its self) in a negative light. I responded with a "U wot m8" which in an effort to be funny contrasted immensely to the  superfluous convoluted language being used.*  Along with changing my sig to something that poked fun calling him a chump in also a very simple manner, a word that really should not be taken seriously in this day and age.** 

A shame the humor was lost. However as I said it was a success. With his last post it is clear I managed to break his will, which is evident in now only using words that only had one syllable each in a short clear sentence. Quite the contrast to the original post I responded too.

Additionally I also received a remarkable assessment on my intelligence of my entire 20 years of being alive, with refreshing honesty, which many in my past just weren't capable of.

All the while whilst keeping the Dark Empire promotional page on the most recent list ;)

So.......

As I do have to point out the humour, George Bush was famous for his struggles with the English language(nicely links to whole conversation see!), also that the war in Iraq still had in reality a long way to go, which brings me nicely too your original question Illysia....

I wouldn't say that we will have a resurgence any time soon sadly, but theres a few of us kicking around in game so really anything is possible! :)

Well that certainly was more words thrown at the matter... Although Ludwig could stand to throw in some more words. You've got less words now. ;D

However, you guys might find that now would be a good time to try and make a little push again. We are trying to pick things up in game right now.

It is with sadness I must report to the community that Parallo, Rinenud and Sangwa have passed away. I will spare you the details of this unfortunate news but I won't.

The three well-respected pillars of this grand community had decided to meet up in Germany last month in a little place called Schlüffenflüffen (Rinenud's town of residence), to discuss the possibilities of reviving the Dark Empire. I too had received an invitation but was forced to decline for personal reasons. From what I hear the trip itself wasn't the problem and Parallo and Sangwa both arrived securely and without discomfort (although I do have to say from personal experience that the Thalys trains aren't the most luxurious of transport). Once arrived the three decided to visit a bar of (my sources tell me) particular ill repute. That was around 8 pm standard Schlüffenflüffen time. They proceeded to drink until 4 am at which time Sangwa suggested the three return home for some extra 'relaxation'.
It is around this time that neighbors started hearing loud groans of pleasure emanating from Rinenud's small and thin-walled apartment. They tried to knock on the door (as any good German neighbor would do when not being able to sleep to wake up refreshed in the morning to proceed to do a hard-day's work) but to no avail. As the noises became progressively louder and stranger the neighbors called the police. At around 6 am the groaning stopped, precisely the time the cops arrived. The police proceeded to force an entry into the apartment in which they found a spectacle of grotesque horror.

These details I will spare you as I know this forum is read by children as well. I will only report to you that my source tells me that the items confiscated from the apartment were a hammer, a pipe (or bong), 2 canisters of goat blood, a barbecue, a book of matches, a blow-up doll and a large phallic shaped instrument. My source has shown me pictures of the scene and I have now vowed to live a life of celibacy.

If any of you would like to know more you can always pm me or visit my website at gloriousfanfic.com.

Thank you all for your support.

Some germans were slightly annoyed to be the target of stereotype slander. It proves the raising activity of the DE, that they are looking for new foes.

Wait, I went through all that trouble to deliver Rinenud appropriate amounts of goat blood and I wasn't even invited to reap the spoils of my labour? I know the man has, had, disproportionate needs, but if he even chose to invite that drunkard Parallo over me then I must admit I feel quite slighted.

May their cursed bones forever lay exposed in one of Schlüffenflüffen's hideously ordinary German alleyways.

 "I hereby formally submit my application, provided you are still around. XOXOX ~ A friend"

I have to formally deny your application. We at the Dark Empire do not condone the killing of innocents and are repulsed at any violent and illegal behavior. Please remove the sacks from our property and re-apply with the attached application form. Please provide us with information regarding your years of playing time (10 years minimum), your abilities as a role player, your sex and a picture of your real-life self (we only accept the finest looking specimens). Be aware that we regulate applications through a strict interviewing process in which you will be placed in a badly lit room with one of our interviewers. Also be aware that this process requires a great deal of mental character.

In fact, I suggest you do not apply at all.

Yours kindly,

Jekkar
Dark Empire relations and recruiting bureau

The Empire is a secret guild again. You won't see the guild label under anyone's name. Around what time are you playing? If it's possible for me, I'll try to log in to recruit you.

"SpidaManz"? Really? We are reduced to recruiting individuals sporting monikers such as "Spidamanz"? The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, etc etc.

As for you Mr "SpidaManz", I expect you to comport yourself with the dignity concomitant with the situation at hand. Or, in parlance more to your level, remember that with great power comes great responsibility.

Dear Peterz Parkerz aka "SpidaManz",

After consultation with the inner circle, we have concluded that the following may in fact be the Guild you were looking for: http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=32163.0

I beg to differ, my screen name is "SpidaManz111", not "SpidaManz". Which makes me 111 times as beautiful and sexy as Peterz Parkerz. I'm still looking forward to an opportunity to bring Imperial affairs in order again.
P.S.

A most fetching suggestion from the ever delectable Illysia, and one future applicants would do well to heed.

Mr "SpidaMan" and I, however, have spoken in private; communication that put me in mind of the adage advising one not to judge books from covers (or spiders from their webs). One of the minions will grant him access to the Empire forthwith.
