One night, there was a terrible storm and all the starfish were washed up onto the shore. The following morning, an old Stonebreaker walked along the beach, picking up starfish and throwing them back into the sea, because starfish die if they are not immersed in water. A young Diabolia jogged past. "Old Dwarf, why are you casting starfish into the ocean?" asked the Diaboli. "There must be thousands of starfish, if not millions along the beach! What you're doing won't matter!" The Stonebreaker smiled, picked up another starfish, and hurled it back into the water. "It mattered to that one."
Corruption is spreading throughout Yliakum. The guilds are crumbling, violence is increasing in the streets and even a pregnant woman cannot roam the streets without being attacked. It is time that we, the people of Yliakum, stood together against the darkness, proclaiming "No more!"
To this end we have founded the Starfish Alliance, an organisation dedicated to fighting corruption in Yliakum. Current member guilds are Bounty Hunters, Legend Warriors, Enlightened Path and the One. Contact Rodef Emet if you or your guild wishes to join.
Sincerely,
Rodef Emet

Is it just me or is this alot like:
http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=36065.0 (http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=36065.0)
Also, note that corruption is not rife, the guilds are not crumbling, and things are better IC and OOC now than before 0.5... only the dedicated RP crowd really stuck around. (a few exceptions)
I admit the bad guy guilds are probably more commonly around at the moment, but 'corruption'?
-
Starfish? Sea?? don't need to say any more.

Akkaido, it's just you. The Starfish Alliance is completely different to your Alliance of Enkidukai. As for the fact that you don't notice the corruption, that is a matter of opinion. It seems that a number of other guilds agree with me, though.
Starfish? Sea?? don't need to say any more.
There is a great lake at the bottom of Yliakum. One of the definitions of Sea is a large lake or body of water. Also, there are coral, why shouldn't there be starfish? Remember, the first law of roleplay is to say yes.
-
actually a lake of <10 km (probably < 5km) of radius is not a big lake... garda lake is bigger..

As Weltall says more of a puddle than a Lake let alone a sea. Remember the first law of roleplay is stay within settings

Look, it's really not important, is it?

How about the "Fresh Water Mollusk Alliance" ? ;D

I know it is sarcasm but it would be to long.. hehe
-
starfhishes can live in tidepools, so a large puddle would be even better to them, but ya, a starfish isnt really a ps animal, so it might not be the best, fit
-
there are... almost 15 ps animals (that i can name). pretty pathetic biodiversity.
you should ask a settings team person about this

thats true, even if more animals cant be implemented yet, there should at leat be a lot more that people can know about, i just got done hearing about how there are thousonds of species in one ecosystem alone 15 throughout all the playable areas...not workin to well
we should make a post dedicated to thinking up new animals :D
-
Its not an ecosystem, its a video game. If they were to perfectly simulate an ecosystem they would have to create the whole planet from scratch. I guess we should just be thankful that this wasn't called The Dragon Alliance.
-
they wouldnt have to start the game from scratch at all, the area could be the same, im just sayin it need more types of animals, inthe same places, not just some of the same species here and there
-
Right now the project is at the point where it is being created, all the extra flora and fauna that you would like are coming. I can attest to it, since when I started there was nothing in the way of herbs. You are looking at a game that is going to be in development for a long time.
-
ya im one of the few poeple who actually understand and accept that this game isnt complete, i was just makin some suggestions and such ^^
-
I know, :offtopic: , but we do have a couple more animals in there that isn't accounted for by a model, yet.
Take some of the weapons we got for instance, Owl's, Fox's, Eagle's, Bear's, Serpent's. Also some of the NPCs dealing with hides talk about fox and bear fur, so it's not just names for weapons ;)
-
i know, im just anxious to see more then two ulbers there three clackers here a trepor there and rat over there
need more not just altered colors either
i really wish i could help with desighning and stuff but id be no help really lol
i might be able to draw ideas, idk

"There must be thousands of starfish, if not millions along the beach! What you're doing won't matter!" The Stonebreaker smiled, picked up another starfish, and hurled it back into the water. "It mattered to that one."
You miss the point of what he says "It mattered to that one."
As for starfish, have you never seen the crystal light glinting off a wet fish, looks like a star, hence he calls them starfish ^^
So before you nitpick, understand the meaning behind the words.
He gave back the gift of life to one that would had he not threw it back died without hope, so he and his friends are giving you back hope of a better life.

But at least Dragons have some tough attitude to them.
I have to agree with weltall and Mord, you haven't paid enough attention to the world they have made for you to roleplay in, there is a massive fantasy world and your choosing to name your alliance after real world stuff.
I find this roleplay/alliance lacking much in the way of immersion. I'll personally be avoiding taking part.
-
yliakum is massive, akaiddo? well, men like to exaggerate don't they.
there's not enough settings info on wildlife. players don't have much to work on.
-
I take it you've never really looked at PSWiki http://pswiki.xordan.com/index.php?title=Creatures (http://pswiki.xordan.com/index.php?title=Creatures)
If you're going to complain that PlaneShift is not big enough or detailed enough for your liking, either join the team and help make more, or go somewhere else.
Those of us who are good roleplayers and care about the game will tend to avoid roleplays and guilds with no adherance to settings.
-
how bout a goeduck?
-
*geoduck?
DO you even know what a geoduck is? Wind wouldn't blow them on a beach, they're sand burrowing molluscs.
-
Dude - I have EATEN a goeduck! :devil:
-
Either way, they don't wash up after storms. You have to dig for them.
-
cept when there egg cases are all over the beach, you can find em then
they is squishy :D
anyway, instead of starfish allience, how bout the fox's allience or somthing, i've heard npc's in oja talk about fox's which mean they DO exist in ps :)

i take it you've never read the pswiki. proves my point.
i'm too young to join the team, nor do i want to. i'm here to say that ps needs more creatures for roleplay's sake.
-
Speaking of reading...
There are books in-game that could possibly help. Not quite a starfish but certainly more within settings:
"Qulam - A species of shellfish that resides in lakes and rivers. Loved by diaboli and attyrs among other species. Most are edible, but those that sit on the Lower Field and the Deep (the seventh and eighth levels, respectively) produce pearls and are not eaten. Qulam shells can also be used as decoration."
With a little story tweaking I think attyrs could work as well but, I'll let you guys look that one up yourselves. ;)

binco, and taking animals from rl isnt a bad thing, rats are one taken from us, and the carpet maker guy in oja talked about fox,s may as well take some more right? millions in our world may as well pick mabey a dozen?
-
Qulam Alliance sounds better than Geoduck or Starfish. Sounds IC, in settings.

-

First
hello All
Long time I didnt logged (on forum and Game)
But This site is not more about Planeshift since I cant play it anymore... due to the new release... and most of my friend are in the same situation...
I worked on this site for 3 years, and I thank all tle players who helped me to change after every release and update (also the ones who made many characters just to find new ways for ending a quest... saddly we didnt find the Merchant way for the Winch Acces) but its time now for me to turn the Ps page
almost all infos, spoil, tips were inside, and most players knew it... also some old Gm asked me account to build their own guild web site...
If any one want to rebuild it... Just ask and I can send you the data base before I erase it.
Thanks to all, particulary devs and setting team...
Have fun Ps it's a great project...

The new release (0.5.2.1) fixes a lot of problems and crashes that were there with the initial 0.5 releases. Also if you crash with this new release and give us your crash id, we can pinpoint your problem.
