Post by: Wolfmane on August 14, 2003, 08:27:21 am: Wonderful, a great initiative. Who knows, you might just have started off a tradition here. I have always admired the Explorers guild and you have just shown the rest of us how a guild should be working together, thanks for the inspiration!

\"Mommy will do the thinking for you Dril! You could spell DUH , many times if you get enough crystals, otherwise Death to Suitors could be a major test of your spelling abilities. We\'ll have to work many hours on that one though\" :D \"One day mommy will teach her favourite Kran to spell QAS\"

Post by: Vengeance on August 14, 2003, 05:58:18 pm: Wow that kicks ass. Nice job guys. This has to be the biggest and most cohesive guild project we have seen yet in PS.

When you were standing next to that many crystals, how did the game perform for you? Any significant different in FPS or anything?

Thanks Veng! :D
It means so much to us to have our efforts acknowledged by you.

Frames were lowered noticably when looking around at all those crystals, but not really to a significant degree. It was quite bareable.

Hehe, as a reminder, the give command syntax is :

/buddy give name item [ amount ]

Don\'t hesitate to use the last optional parameter ;)

The nature of the task at hand meant that each crystal had to be buddy given individually ;(

Yes of course, you have to choose between mouse clicks and keyboard typing... it must have been quite a job ! I think someone will be happy to find line history in CB :D

During our process of typing the /buddy give commands i did complain a bit about there not being history, but soon got over it as we proceeded to achieve our great sign.

I would like to thank everyone personally for the great feedback :]
Title:
Post by: Vengeance on August 16, 2003, 07:49:49 pm: btw, Command history is already in the latest version, so you will have it in CB, guaranteed.
Title:
Post by: Zene on September 22, 2003, 11:10:21 pm: I visited the Explorers\' website and came across the pictures, and I was blown away by that one picture! Very, very cool Explorers!

btw I would like to join your guild, but there are three problems.
1) I\"m not yet a PS player (but I hope to be)
2)I need to wait until next year until I can get a internet accessable computer at home, and
3)I may only be able to play at least three times a week.

Now see, I wanted to join the Rangers once I began, but I think they have a policy or something about members who weren\'t that frequent (correct me if I\'m wrong Seperot). So, since the Rangers and the Explorers were similar, I thought maybe Explorers would be better suited for me...
Anyway, I want to meet the Explorers so whenever I can finally join, I will be familiar with some of them at least.
Title:
Post by: seperot on September 23, 2003, 10:18:42 am: well yes we do have a policy on activity its there to pervent getting members that are there for a week then never come back.

in your case however if you can get online and on the rangers forum (like you have) we class that as active

i will have a word with monketh andgrakrim if your still interested in joining ;)
Title:
Post by: Zene on November 14, 2003, 08:08:15 pm: Well, I\'ll think about it, only because I like the Rangers and the Explorers. And the fact that I\'m still not able to download PS may further delay my decision. Don\'t get me wrong, though, I\'m still interested!
Title:
Post by: Kiern on November 14, 2003, 10:53:56 pm: Wow, it only took 3 months to get this on the right forum :P

Is the explorers still around? I haven\'t really seen them on these boards recently (I don\'t go in-game anymore, comp problems :( )

I think they\'re still around, or at least they haven\'t disbanded. I see some Explorers log on from time to time (but they\'re generally active players anyway), and I\'m fairly sure I\'ve seen some new recruits and promotions.

Of course, I doubt there are any more boundaries to be broken... Maybe in CB they\'ll get seriously active again (if there are more difficult areas to get to).
Title:
Post by: Kiern on November 14, 2003, 11:08:19 pm: Yeah, ok, I imagine a lot of not-so-active guilds are going to pop back up once CB is released (The BISM will as well ;) )
Title:
Post by: Xordan on November 14, 2003, 11:36:04 pm: yuh, The Explorers I think will become more powerful as the gaem progresses, as the more land there is to map, the more they can furfill their potential. Other guilds such as merchant guilds will also increase in power.
