I've added the Imperial Guard's logo to the first topic. I think it look awesome. Thank you Jekkar.
There are limits even to my evilness. :devil: :devil:
I love it aswell. To bad we can't force the guards to all use spears ;)
Archmage? Mages Council? Arcane University? And I thought PS's Dark Brotherhood was a TES rip-off.Oh! and don't forget the French! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Guard)
No offense but the name... :whistling: I knew it sounded familiar...
As in here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Guard_%28Warhammer_40%2C000%29), here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Guard_%28comics%29) and although it's called Imperial watch here (http://www.elderscrolls.com/games/oblivion_overview.htm) it still sounds like:Archmage? Mages Council? Arcane University? And I thought PS's Dark Brotherhood was a TES rip-off.Oh! and don't forget the French! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Guard)
I'm slightly sorry to say it, Socius, because so many of your posts have been worth reading a couple times over, your last post was completely useless.;) Read it again, I, again I, thought it was a rather funny post. And totally not assaulting (AS I remember correctly, I said something like no offense), if it did meant anything it would have been something like: "See, the Great minded of the world had the same thoughts. I should really go to humor class don't I? *sighs* I'll try to stop trying to be funny :'(
If it guards an Empire it is likely to be called the Imperial Guard.

Well, no offense always makes everything better. Always. If I went up to someone on the street and insinuated that I'd been with their wife/girlfriend last night, and then said "no offense", I'm sure it would keep even one of the more hot tempered of people from beating me up. Sure. Yeah. No offense, of course :) (Just a pet peeve of mine...)
Other then that.... looks interesting. The logo is quite good, I will say that. Perhaps Garon will finally have found a job (after all, I've been unemployed for quite a while.... a change of scene would make sense, and he'd be the type to jump at the chance for a stable job). What's the pay?
But I don't think mercenaries will have the same chance of "going up in the ranks" than loyalists. If X offers $ to A, but Y offers $$ to A in exchange of betraying X and turning to Y, if A is a mercenary, A will do it.
To ask whether teenagers are getting “addicted” to online games is a way of not asking why our schools are failing to engage our children. To ask why some people get “addicted” to their fantasy personas is a way of not asking how we expect people to derive life satisfaction from working at Wal-Mart.- I really liked this phrase, it says it all.
Creating labels such as “online gaming addiction” gives us the illusion that we’ve identified a new problem in our society instead of talking about the real and chronic problems in the world we live in.
Give him a break, Nurahk.That's not true at all Draklar.
This place isn't one to have your frustration let out, nor have you any right to fuel the fire considering for the time being you have absolutely no position in the Empire.
After all the offtopicness, and before the inaction leads to a full-fledged flame, I will ask a question about it:
Is there any thinking about adapting some few elements from the notorious U.S. Secret Service (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Service) to this guild?
As long as there aren't imperialists dressed like Agent Smith of course! :P
What has once been forgotten will return...
The time for what was once good shall rise again!
Sword, Shield, The Righteous meet no bounds!
The time for clensing is near...I can feel it searing through my veins!
You ranks will fall!
And, considering OOC reasons for it are everywhere but IC reasons are completely lacking, it's terrible RP.I always thought DepthBlade was a hero wannabe nutcase that would call out a person just for holding a kitchen knife and suspiciously cutting his loaf of bread... in character.
I'm personally getting quite annoyed with it. If it goes on much longer I'll probably just leave PlaneShift, it's not enjoyable, it's not sensible. It's dumb.OR you can treat this situation as a redemption, because that's exactly what you and your Cabali kin made many people feel like in the past ;)
Things like "Concentration Camps for Elves" weren't enjoyable. Not really sensible. And most definitely dumb. But you cherished that stuff anyway, didn't you?
Roleplay of IC conflicts is encouragedBasically what DepthBlade did (and Hwnae nicely continued).
Specially due to the fact the official laws of Yliakum aren't yet mentioned properly in the Settings?Yliakum laws are fully written out and available in Jayose's library.

So, it mentions death penalty. But, does the Dark Empire have authority to enforce their law over Yliakum's law? Because it says very few crimes are punishable by death, and killing people based in internal organization laws might contradict Yliakum official law, being ironically from its view an illegal act. And isn't there a large risk it giving origin to Kangaroo Courts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kangaroo_Court)? Specially due to the fact the official laws of Yliakum aren't yet mentioned properly in the Settings?
Draklar, I wasn't aware of that but I'll be looking into that book and probably adapting our Imperial laws to fit more into the settings ... though they will still be Imperial laws and not Yliakum's laws. We leave the enforcement of obeying Yliakum law up to the guards of the government.Yeah, it's fairly new book in there I think (two weeks, maybe?). I wouldn't realise it has been added if not for a lucky peek into the guildchat, in fact.
How does the Empire deal with concept of death (Death Realm vs True Death too).
XXXII. Murder is a high crime. One shall never move to put another to death. Too many become lost in the Realm of Death. Anyone caught manufacturing or distributing poisons which cause the permanent death shall be cast into the crystal. Anyone who shall murder another, be they infant or elderly, shall face justice determined by the Octarch of the level on which the murder was committed.
Yeah. I noticed that term while reading over Yliakum's Rules. I didn't have much time so I may just have missed it but, how is "True Death" done? **pokes Xillix**By the law enforcement it's done by casting people into the Azure Sun. There are different ways though. Mentioned in other books.
Things like "Concentration Camps for Elves" weren't enjoyable. Not really sensible. And most definitely dumb. But you cherished that stuff anyway, didn't you?
Well I've read the Yliakum Law and I'll be modifying the Imperial Law accordingly ... however I was hoping on some more specifics regarding punishment. There is vague mentioning of a true death sentence, imprisonment and fees but nearly no specifics depending on each crime itself.I remember True Death was punishment for corruption among politicians, littering (:P) and owning substances that can cause permanent death. I thought there's also some stuff about different crimes and punishments. But I don't know if that's what you mean.
Hwnae walks in cursing and grumbling after hearing of this message
"Alright you warmongering fool .. I've had enough of your kind, claiming to be great heroes of the light while they do nothing but starting fights with people minding their own business. Now I'll do Yliakum a favour and rid itself of this conflict."
The Captain steps up to the warmonger and looks him in the eye
"You're a shame to our entire race but ... name the time and place and we'll work this out. Just you and me .. you want to be remembered forever, well here's your chance of slaying an Imperial who you've never even met. If you die I'll show you the respect you deserve for your heroic act, none and leave your broken bones rotting in the wild."
Hwnae steps back and turns away ".. who gives birth to these idiots?"
(Disclaimer: in character post, do not be insulted by Hwnae's harsh reaction and aggressive attitude to characters who blindly call him evil without ever bothering to get to know him :P )
Of course cases differ but there have to be general lines in any half decent law system .. something like the penalty for theft is cutting off a hand, or in modern days it would be two years of jailtime. The circumstances and actual size of the theft itself would either make the punishment increase or decrease.It appears a lot is up to the level's Octarch's decision. Makes you wonder if there's any equivalent of Bill of Rights' Eighth Amendment present in Yliakum ;)
Eight amendment ... doubt it in a medieval society :PYou'd doubt lack of racism in a medieval society, but the laws clearly state it's illegal in Yliakum (the extreme manifestation of racism anyway) ;)

In real life laws like that had their ups and downs (mostly the latter) all the way until... uhh... 18th or 19th century?
I don't think the case is so simple. Yliakum certainly isn't ruled by a monarchy, anyway.
did you know that the name "imperial guard" has justed been ripped from warhammer 40,000 (40k) >:(You nick is ripoff
