the Dark Empire
Goals & Believes
We are the ones that embrace the power given by the darkness. The power revealed to the ones that sense the flow of the world. We dwell in pride and glory, fight under command of our empress. Use the power of spell, slay our foes with the steel that stays cold.
Honor among the dark ones, it is what we believe in. The loyality and trust shall help us in achieving all of our needs. Side by side, together we\'ll fight, with courage we\'ll slay any foe. With the sense of the strategy, the blindness ain\'t what we undergo.
For the thrill of battle we ride, with the great will to stay strong.
We dream to achieve our eternal goals, of power, wealth and control.
- The clash of steel calls us. -
We, the soldiers of night are the ones that shall fight no matter what. Even in the hardest of battles we won\'t step back. It is battle where we find our pride and glory and fighting is our way of life. Our swords shall flow and our hammers fall. The path of blood and steel is where we walk. And this is the oath of a warrior, this path is the one we shall never let go. The havoc we bring with us. And it is for all to know, that ones who stand in our way, are meant to fall.
- The secret knowledge awaits. -
Mages of the Dark Empire won\'t hide from any of the magic ways. From the darkness, into the light - all shall find use in our hands. Power hidden from others shall be revealed to us. The darkest secrets of magic stand open to our minds, we are the ones meant to grasp it. And we shall follow our destiny of the ultimate knowledge, we are the ones to have it.
- The embrace of shadows tempts. -
Deep down in darkness is where the shadows have their dominion. Hidden from the sight of others, the ghosts of the Dark Empire find their destination. With cautious they move and take shadows wherever they go. They are meant to reach for the secrets, to reach for the unknown. The elite minions of night will take care to make the whispers reach our ears and they will make sure to keep their goals away from peers.
- The power in unity. -
Together we can what others may only dream. We unite shadows, knowledge and steel. With our forces so strong, our minds so bright, we\'ll walk wherever we want. Nothing stands in our way, friendship and loyality is key to every gate. We embrace the power, we are the ones to forge the fate.
Other Details
We try to keep the Dark Empire in roleplaying atmosphere. Staying in character isn\'t a must yet, but it is very welcome. In future however roleplaying might be required.
alignments we accept are:
lawful-evil
lawful-neutral
What we value most is honor, courage and loyality.

It\'s good to see a thread on the Dark Empire again. Unfortunantly my school\'s firewall blocks me from using IRC, otherwise I might stop by.
-
I love it the part where you will fight no matter what!
-
ah yes... would be nice to see you there, my friend.
You might even talk with the possible future \"archmage\"
that is if yer lucky enough to catch her while she\'s not afk ;)
-
The future archmage hmm? Yes I am interested in who it is that thinks they can fill my shoes. -=grins=-
But I doubt I will ever get there unless I find some way of getting around the damned block my school has on IRC.
-
Excellent work Draklar. I am most certainly no less than impressed. That will be going on the website for sure. I knew you could pull it off.
-
made a little mistake in alignments... oh well, corrected now...
thy words art bliss to my ears, lady Aelya.
I am happy that I could complete this task and I await next orders :]
-
Anyway, nice post. Nearly as good as Auran\'s stuff.
Nearly? Darklar\'s a poet my friend. And that is a hell of a lot of smilies...kinda makes you seem....I dunno...not so evil?[/COLOR]

-
Uhh, poetic - nice! :tup:
-
good descriptions draklar.. :tup:
-
bravo, very nice
-
well... didn\'t expect answers like that...
must say thank ye all for thy kind words :]
-
Indeed, it\'s quite impressing.
I must learn to write like that... Could be usefull to make this kind of threads about my guild :P
Good luck to the Dark Empire.
-
for the glory of the Dark Empire! :]
here\'s a vision of what everyone shall see in the future
the army of the Dark Empire (http://upl.mine.nu/uplfolders/upload9/army.jpg)
let me quote one song for this occasion:
A dark march lies ahead, together we will ride like
thunder from the sky :]
and special thanks to:
lady Nilaya - for posing to the picture
lady Aineko - for clock and screenshot mods
lord Cad - for \'/buddy give\' command
devs - for bugged /greet :P
thank ye for thy attention,
may the darkness always be with thee :]
-
So....that\'s the uber screenie that took you days to make huh? Not bad.
-
heh, Nice screenshot Draklar :tup:
*wonders if he\'s still the only MEnkidukai uneffected by draklar\'s weird skins :D*
-
I would probally join this guild if I were evil, but i ain\'t. Congraturation, you have made me interested.
-
yes Axsyrus, yer the only one that still runs in nothing but pants :/
and bah, only two days, Aendar ;) :P
-
Nice guild post you have here, Drak. Nothing short of poetry :) . And the screenshot certainly is impressive.
Btw, I\'m the Ynwnn that is still running around with that cloth... I have no clue what it is called. ?(
-
yup, we have a new member.
Let me officially welcome Xanaroth to the Dark Empire.
-
thnx draklar
Tough i have a lot to do with school, so my activity can vary from very active to totally inactive, but i\'ll do whatever i can.
-
*blinks*
greetings that guy Xanaroth =)

Manowar - Hail and Kill :P
\"nice\" song by the way ;)
edit: A metal band, but nevermind. Back to topic :P
-
??manowar?? what is that
-
Its a heavy metal band. Its also the name of a type of boat mostly used in the middle ages in great britain\'s navy.
-
its also an amphibious creature ;)
-
Yeah a siphonophore (if i spell right). Like a jellyfish, only instead of being one entity they are like a floating colony of stinging pain.
Anyway back on topic, see you have a new member... one of our old members :(. Sad to see him go but anyway good luck DE and good luck Xanaroth.
-
Tks for calling me polite Xordan. Draklar is right (as always) I am not a man of steel or Magic; I am a man of Shadow and shadows are soothing and sometimes refreshing :).
-
Well I\'d like to announce that new address of the Dark Empire castle is http://users.fragnetics.com/darkempire/
big thanks to fragnetics for hosting our website :))
-
Cool, nice fast bannerless hosts are always a good thing. :) Are you gonna move your forums as well?? No offense, but they suck pretty much with the banners and popups, and the lack of things to do with them.
-
Who did up the template if that is one? The DarkEmpire logo and skulls and such looks almost hand done!
-
Funhouse did it.

they sucked even more in the past with all the errors there :P
I don\'t know about moving them...
I\'d gladly see DE forums on ourweb.to service...
-
Google\'s web toolbar blocks pop-ups surprisingly well. :D
Pop-ups are nothing to fret about.
Btw, does Aleya have comp problems with MB or something? I\'ve never seen her in-game...
-
she used to have... but now I\'d call it \"oh god, MB is so boring\" problem ;)
-
Just upload phpbb forums onto the fragnetics space u\'ve got... and then set everything up. U don\'t need to have a different host.
-
well I suppose that\'s what Kwartz wants, but I dunno... ourweb.to seems to be perfect for our needs...
-
There is nothing wrong with our current forums except that it comes up with errors now and then. We just need to upload it to fragnetics as xordan said.. ourweb.to has our needs, along with many features we will never use :P I dont see a need to create whole new forums.
-
well to make it short: I left the Dark Empire. And for those who didn\'t guess it yet, I\'m going back to being good -.-
-
Hmm, Draklar becoming good, eh? Is evil becoming pass?? Inquiring minds want to know!
-
Draklar was once good already, so this would be his second time.
About the story...Well it\'s a long story you\'ll likely never hear of unless drak wants to tell it. I certainly won\'t be the one.
-
Being evil means being unpopular. :P
You\'ll become a liability if you\'ll change sides too much.
-
..... Im evil ..... old bloke on the train told me once so i must be, and ive always known im unpopular =)
Drak: your a real wufta =)
-
Does this mean you can go to parties without Aelya being there?
If it does, w00t!
-
Yay, being good is better than being in DE. :D
-
So you are turning good Draklar... It\'s a pitty.
It\'s of course much better than becoming Cabal ^^.
-
oh, I just love how people must make it something big whenever I leave guild :rolleyes:
anyway, there are simple reasons to become good...
first I left DE because I don\'t think I\'m welcome there anymore (and it seems only one person cared about me leaving)
second, I became good because: PS doesn\'t support evil and there\'s no place for freelance evil warrior.
Why not joining another evil guild? read what Sangwa said...
\"He can\'t make up his mind.\" funny to hear that from you, Adrift :rolleyes:
-
PS doesn\'t support evil and there\'s no place for freelance evil warrior.
is this for now and CB or for the later versions as well?
-
Well, at least to me that\'s kind of a surprise.
Whatever your reasons might have been - welcome (back) to the side of light, Lord Draklar. :)
-
What about switching to neutral? This is the only alignement you didn\'t tried :P And this would be a smaller change :D
Bah, whatever, i don\'t know anything about what happened so i guess i should just shut my mouth 8)
-
Originally posted by elscouta

Ever heard of Legendary Warriors? yea, Draklar was lawful-neutral as well 8)
-
Sorry to hear that you\'re leaving Drak, take care.
Remember, Cal and Bob will always be there for you ;)
-
Hmmm I suppose I should post here and give my opinion. I won\'t lie and say that I\'m happy about any of this. Mainly because the reasons for all this are completely stupid and trivial. So all I will say is good luck on finding another guild or whatever it is you plan to do now.
-
Poor Drak... everyone has to give their opinion on this now...
Well Drak, good luck doing whatever it is you end up doing.
Even though you don\'t really know me... I\'ve heard a lot of things about you.
So does your heading back to the side of good mean that you will head back to the Defenders? Or will you be looking for another guild?
Either way, just know that there will be new friends waiting for you wherever you go.
And Draklar, what do you mean by PS doesn\'t support evil? PS just shows that there is no true good and true evil in this world. Only the gray area in between.
Well, good luck!
-
nah, Defenders changed completely since I left. I don\'t know what I\'ll do, I\'m not even sure if I\'ll play PS anymore. Oh well... future will tell...
as for the evil thing, look around forums for current aim of this game.
-
Don\'t leave. The Cabali will have no one to make fun of. Imagine the Cabal without Draklar. Goddamn boring.
Edited for language.
-
ah yes, thank you Davis... you reminded me what jerks (word that should be here is censored) people in this community are.
so all in all the community sucks, so does our future GM and I have doubts about where PS is going.
... also lost best friend, which forced me to leave guild I liked very much =/
well I\'m taking break from PS... will be back in some time but I doubt I\'ll ever come ingame again. farewell for now.
-
It seems evil players tend to stop being evil. Or stop playing at all.
Auran, Annah and you... this is truly sad and also shows us how our community sucks.
I have my doubts too Draklar.
-
Draklar said:

Not so Drak, not so. Unfortunately you missed some of our replies in our forums it seems but Princess Aelya stated she would welcome you back and several of us posted our objections to losing you.
You will be missed.
-
Sad to hear, my brother of metal, you will be missed... (by me at least) May thy heart stay true, and thy blade stay keen as STEEL!
-
I guess I can\'t say too much because I don\'t have all the background about what this stems from, but don\'t be a stranger for too long Draklar, you will be missed.
A break can sometimes do us good and help us to put things into perspective, but try not to lose hope in this community and the people who exist here, we still have a good thing going and I\'m sure the future is still bright :)
-
Mmmm upsetting news :( I had plans to deal with you when CB came out...mmm...guess there is nothing left to do except follow through! I still want to battle :]
-

Anytime, Draklar, just ask. :P
Seriously, though, nobody wants to see you leave the community. I have no objections to your alignment change, but I wouldn\'t want to see you go, and I\'m sure many others share this view.
-
I second that notion!
-
Taking a break is the best thing he can do. everyone here who has been here for a long time has taken a break for at least a little bit. And most realize how much they miss PS and return. Things can get very overwhelming here especially lately. Hopefully he will choose to come back once he has had time to take a break and cool off.
-
Yah it would be nice but it is hard when you have to upkeep a guild/site/forums and such :(
-
Damn....
Looks like we have more evidence of community destruction.
We need more smart evil people to make up for the lack of evil, well, people...
I want Auran back! ;(
Good luck to you Drak whatever you happen to decide to do in the future.
I hope you come back after a while, taking a break from (just about) any stressful thing is always good.
-Monketh
-
dude u cant leave, your the active guy, ur thee active guy thee. seriously bar yourself and agara that would make me the active guy, i cant be the active guy, your the active guy, be active....
-
Well said :] Draklar is needed, he is truly is the one true evil person around here that can act out the role without dipping out of roleplay and making things personal! Don\'t leave! Don\'t switch allignments! Take a break from the game, go play some RuneScape or something lol Then come back :)
-
Darn.. had a really good post typed out but it gave me a 404 when I clicked post reply X( .
Anyways to summarize.
Drak, make it a really quick break 8) .
And it seems like most of the DE\'s (well a fair few) didn\'t want you to leave... Ah well, if you\'re not part of the in-crowd, you get left in the dark (Get it? Dark? Ha Ha...)
Hehe Just kidding.
And maybe all those evil people are fiding their true calling...... neutrality!

Not making things personal? Where\'d you get that from, because it\'s certainly not true. :( Ya, he\'s evil, he roleplays it pretty well. (But in my experience, that\'s just him being his usual self). :P
I meant what I said in-game that day though, Drak. I do hope you find what you\'re looking for, and hope you come back to PS soon. :) This place isn\'t the same without ya\'. Just take a break, put everything in the past, and come back fresh and new. It\'s not worth dwelling over bad things.

From my experiences with him, we roleplay alittle..I am good he is evil whatever..but out of roleplay he doesn\'t hold any grudges against me that I have noticed! He doesn\'t take the roleplaying personal when out of role is what I mean! There certainly is quite a few people that will do that!

btt :baby:
-
Aww nuts 1st auran goes off for a aligment change and people start jumping on the band wagon - $0.02 worth
anyways have fun darklark (proly the last time iam gonna say that) :( :D
we still got good ol pointy ears to make fun of right xalthar ?
-
hmm if i remember rightly draklar was going to become a dermorian at the time of cb so he may decide to join the elves :]
i hope draklar doesnt have the same experience to what i did when i came back. but when he returns he shall know who his friends really are.
draklar, with such roleplayers and interesting people like you leaving it only adds to the emptyness of the community. if draklar does never return i may leave aswell
-

2 for the price of 1. :D

Xordan, please do not spam my guild\'s thread with pointless posts like that :P
-
Im not sure if I should be doing this in a post but I would like to propose an alliance between the Dark Empire and the Sentinels of the Ragnarok (of which I am the Senior member).
-
*laughs so hard he pukes*
-
Im not sure if I should be doing this in a post but I would like to propose an alliance between the Dark Empire and the Sentinels of the Ragnarok (of which I am the Senior member).
First of all, sorry, but I have to do it ... * ROFL * :rolleyes:
* still laughing ... but trying to speak *
\'eh, you really meant that? Well, Dark Empire is a member of the Dark Alliance, where Black Order is in as well. There are 2 guilds in the DA. Though, it is an alliance for 3.
For a long time, there was a search for the 3rd member, but it seems none was worthy (except BlackFlame, that sadly left the alliance).
So, it\'s not impossibble for you to join Dark Alliance, not at all. Hard? Yes ...
You have to prove worthy in the first place. And I don\'t think a good roleplayer in here comes with a name like \"Ragnarok\" in his guild. Sorry, but here is PLANESHIFT.
Anyway, tell everything you have in your mind. Why you can be a good member? Why everything ... ;)
* listens *
-
heh... I bet Annah thinks Ragnarok was originally name of a game :P
Anyway, don\'t speak for DE, Annah. How can you know what they would want? :O
...
Nah, sorry Valbrandr, no chance ;)
Altho\' do contact me once you do all the setting up in your guild ;)
- Swords
-
*falls off his seat in laughter*
XD ah that was a good joke Valbrandr tell another one :)
-
hahahaha!!
:P
The DE is a barely active eliteist guild, you have to be \"special\" to even get in :P I doubt they\'ll accept an alliance with any guild which isn\'t either quite old, or with great potential :D
-
*Stares at Xordan* \"Barely active\", whoa, so we have been promoted from dead? Glad to see you\'re opening your eyes Xordan, even if only too slowly.
Valbrandr, the Dark Empire is already on an alliance, the Dark Alliance as it has already been mentioned, which is missing a member.
Your alignment is acceptable to the Alliance and so are your goals, but unless you accept allying your self to the Black Order and describe to us what could be gained for the three guilds I don\'t think either Lord Kris or Princess Aelya will consider your proposal.
Pay little atention for what the others have told. Their words, even if some not totally stripped of knowledge and common sense, can\'t be too accurate for none of them is a Dark Empire member, or of the Dark Alliance for that matter.
-
I am still new here and I had no idea that they were some elite group. The only person I had talked to was Draklar. I do think that it is funny that Planeshft has elite groups who have not even gained a level yet. *Seperot falls out of his chair laughing but suddenly cannot breath... Hmm. it is Valbrandr standing on his throat* (Btw how is your website going).
We at the Sentinels of the Ragnarok are a closly nit group of friends in rl. There are only about twelve of us now. I believe we have a lot of good ideas but most of us are still n00bs. I cannot guarrantee that we will be an elite group but I can assure that we will have elite members. I was just hoping to make peace than to find ourselves on opposite sides of the battlefield.
-
how dare you stand on my trout...but why cant a breath because of it o.o?
and your excuses dont realy work...your supposed to research a guild before you ask for alliances :P
-
Elitism isn\'t just about levels...
If all you seek is peace then go speak to those who preach it. The Dark Empire allies with others not to avoid them on the battlefield but to join them there against a common enemy.
And Seperot is right. Research something before dealing with it.
You do have a lot of ideas Valbrandr, some of which might turn out to be great. But calling some of your members noobs and mocking a guild you wanted to ally yourself with are not great ideas.
-
I do not consider the word n00b a bad word. Some of the players that are in the guild have merely played once or twice ,all I meant was they are inexperienced but many have high aspirations. If you think I intended to mock you or your guild you have judged me too quickly. I was intentionaly mocking Seperot because he is just a merc and he is always falling out of his chair laughing. Maybe I should have looked into your guild and asked around more about you, however, I did not think that my invitation for an alliance/ non agression pact would draw such criticism. I overestimated your willingness to participate.
-
I\"m another member of the Sentinels of the Ragnarok guild. Our guild has a history that predates the 3D version of planeshift (not planshift MUD pre 3D which started in 1996 I think). Anyways - I was always a real time strategy player, and not one for RPG\'s. At that time myself and several friends played Age of Empires relentlessly. We formed the idea of starting a group named Sentinels of Ragnarok. We had problems getting it organized, and the inability to play AOEII online hindered us. Then I noticed a few posts in a Linux forum about Planeshift. I thought it looked quite promising. I told Valbrandr about the game and we, with one other friend, started working on creating a guild. I think Valbrandr does a good job as a senior leader, and calling us noobies isn\'t an insult, its the truth. We are simply new to the game.
The idea of a non-agression pack was simply to try to build some friendships not to create enemies in a *cough \"elitist\" guild, and any mockery is mockery on me as well as other members of our guild. Valbrandr isn\'t the one mocking our members its those of you who choose to be negative and look for reasons to insult people.
I really can\'t stand people who constantly think they are better than other people.

What do you mean by \"special\" - like special ed? If so I guess we are out of luck. I\'m sorry we are not \"special\" enough. I\'m sure its not everyone in the guild - so I\'m not talking about everyone here, just the @$$holes with bad attitudes who feel the need to degrade attempts at friendship in order to make themselves look cool. You people make me sick.
One thing that drew me to planeshift was the good community. I know that there are always exceptions, I guess I just expected more from an \"elitist\" guild.
-
EDIT: For some reason my post was duplicated... So ignore this one - I just removed the text to cut down on space on the forum.
-
Actually, I think Xordan was making fun of them. Though who knows with him.
And why try to make an alliance with an inactive guild?
EDIT in reply to below: They\'re invite only, which is why people are saying \"elite\" when it really is not true.
-
I was wondering about that as well. How is a guild barely active, yet really special and elite?? Just curious - feel free to inform me here - I could be simply missing something.
Edit because of Kierns edit. :)
Invite only huh? Thats it? I understand now. Thanks for the information Kiern.
-
If you were making fun of them as Kiern suggests then I apologize for singleing you out - if you take offense to this, just let me know and I\'ll remove the quote.
-
Well, at least you should now the difference between \"noob\" and \"newbie (newb)\". It\'s sad you call your members (people you call friends) noobs. Or simply you don\'t know the meaning of the word ...
One thing that drew me to planeshift was the good community. I know that there are always exceptions, I guess I just expected more from an \"elitist\" guild.
Yes, Planeshift has one of the best games communities. But what I don\'t get it. What did you expect more from DE?
And what makes it \"elite\"? I guess the people that compose it. Many would want to be like them ...
Well, don\'t know. My tip? Leave DE alone, accept a rejection (that kinda you invented from nothing, I did not see Sangwa saying the word) and try to live your life in here. Otherwise, you\'ll have to deal with me :)
-
:o oh no you\'ll have to face the deadly dots of doom!!!
...heh...
just kidding hanna :P these guys are harmless all you have to do is put a cardboard box over there head and there confused for weeks.
-
I still consider mockery when you spoke about us being \"elitist\". Your guild member hasn\'t been effective at showing me you\'re not mocking DE.
Those who made all the critiscism were not Dark Empire members and so you shouldn\'t pay much attention to their critics. I barely told you what happened, you were not informed enough about the Dark Alliance and so I posted a bit of information and what you might do to be able to join it.
Also, non aggression pacts are weak alliances. Should we ever ally, it would be to help each other.
Induane, do not take revenge upon the Dark Empire because you aren\'t able to fight back against what the others said against you. If anyone made fun of you it wasn\'t anyone of the Dark Empire.
I haven\'t mocked your guild, it would be easy for me to be arrogant and make fun of your guild. It just wouldn\'t be right, or wise for that matter.
No Dark Empire member has made fun of your guild. Not yet. So stop your foly and quit making fun of my guild.
One thing that drew me to planeshift was the good community. I know that there are always exceptions, I guess I just expected more from an \"elitist\" guild.
You are insulting a guild that didn\'t do anything to deserve your insults. You take what has been said by people who are not of my guild as an offence and then attack my guild with insults that were devised by that same people.
Yes there are always exceptions Induane. \"Judge not lest ye be judged yourself.\"
Kiern, we\'re as inactive as any other active player. Either you\'re blind or you don\'t want to see.
Elitism: When things are organized for the benefit of a few people with special interests or abilities.
We benefit those who we find have special abilities and might help the guild to achieve it\'s objective. This is elitism... it\'s not thinking that we\'re superior than anyone else, it\'s trying to be it by recruiting skilled people only.

Well, a very wise man called Charles Darwin once wrote a book \"The Origin of the Species\" in which he explained the main aspects of the Evolution.
One Chapter of his book was called \"Survival of the fittest\", Maybe you should have a look at it.

Just to clarify a newb is someone who is new and not very experienced, while a n00b is someone who doesnt know where he is and who is abusing.
-
Thank you Sangwa for your level headed assessment of what transpired. It was not a fight with the DE it was an arguement with the other forum members. There is no anger here about being rejected, we were just wondering why you did not give us a chance. I know it is hard to trust some guilds in this game and most likely even harder to trust a new guild that may not be active or may dissipate. The biggest reason I proposed an alliance is because I have talked to Draklar and he seemed to be a good person who was helpful to us. It was never meant to cause such an uproar where insults were flung around and hit the innocent. I guess we can give it time and see were and when our paths cross.
P.S. If it was because of our alignment (Neutral Good), we have already changed it to Chaotic neutral.
P.S.S. To me n00b is a relative term. It means something different to me than it does to some of the other forum members. I do not mean it in a negative way, sorry for the misunderstanding.

Thank you for the compliment Valbrandr.
I was and am giving you a chance. Or else I wouldn\'t have told you that you had to think about posting some advantages to the three guilds and that your alignment was worthy of the alliance.
The ones who didn\'t give you a chance were the ones that laughed at you with no reason, creating this unpleasant situation. It\'s not our fault that this mess was started.
Were it for me we would be discussing what could be gained with such an alliance, instead of discussing how we have insulted one another.
Since it was not our fault to begin with, I propose to ignore the obvious culprits and discuss this more privately to keep from their destructive meddling.
PS: Unfortunely Draklar is not a member of the Dark Empire. He has been, not so much time ago.
If you checked our site and found him in the list I must apologize, we have had some trouble in updating our fragnetics site.

You are inactive by the fact that none of your top members have been seen around the Planeshift community for months now, and possibly longer. In fact, only the lowest ranking members are active here.
And I don\'t see how \"any other active player\" has to do with anything, as I am talking about a guild, and no it would not work if you put player instead of guild...because your not.
So, how am I blind again?
-
You\'re blind because you can\'t see that the Dark Empire is not inactive.
I\'m a Shadowmaster, a member of the Dark Empire High Council. It\'s our decision if we don\'t inform other people about promotions, and it\'s not updated on our site yet because we\'re having trouble updating our fragnetics site.
Yes, my mistake when I spoke about \"any other player\". Should have said any other guild. Anyway, if we weren\'t active why would I be looking at this alliance issue?
-
I don\'t get this, I\'m blind because The Dark Empire does not know how to update their site, or inform the rest of the community when they promote people. I\'m blind because The Dark Empire has maybe 2-3 members who actually act within the community.
No, you can be as withdrawn as you want, but it\'s not anyone elses fault if you are going to be mistaken for inactive or willing to take alliances when all we have to go on is what you randomly decide to tell us, and you are not even the leader.
EDIT in reply to Draklar: For all I know, Kwartz is. And if he owned a website saying that he was actually a woman, I don\'t see why it is so hard to believe people might mistake it for the truth.
-
sooo... it\'s better to make false assumptions than to just shut up?
Thereby I announce that Kwartz is a woman irl... because he didn\'t officially announce that he isn\'t.

Why does this debate go on: inactive or active. I seen atleast 2-3 of their members on today so they are atleast somewhat active. Why does it matter so much if the DE is on all day long or not?

Origionally posted by Sangwa:
You are insulting a guild that didn\'t do anything to deserve your insults. You take what has been said by people who are not of my guild as an offence and then attack my guild with insults that were devised by that same people.
Yes there are always exceptions Induane. \"Judge not lest ye be judged yourself.\"
You are correct and I am sorry. I lashed out because I thought that those people were members of your guild, which they apparantly were not. I directed my rebutals at you and your guild when they were not the true culprits. I am very sorry. I probabily shouldn\'t have been so defensive in the first place anyways. In any case - I am sorry to all members of the DE to whom I have insulted. I offer no apology however to those who flamed us simply for trying to make friends.
I thank Sangwa for all of the well-spoken words. There was no attempt at insult, which I respect tremendously.
Still - all of this has had a postive effect. This little banter has helped our guild realize our true positions and direction - as you know from Valbrandr\'s post we have changed our allignment - something we discussed the night before.
-
Well, that\'s life Kiern, sometimes you just can\'t get things :P.
Don\'t worry about it Induane, it was not your fault, I understand that ^^.
Anyway to end this story now, I\'ll contact Valbrandr privately and discuss some ideas.

Ok, let\'s point out a little detail here.
You, without any research, assumed that DE is inactive and posted that on their thread. Now Sangwa had the right to get angry as your ignorance can, and most likely does, make DE look worse. You can\'t possibly know what is going on on their forums, nor keep a detailed schedule of their activity. Sangwa and DE in all deserves apology, but instead you decided to state that Sangwa doesn\'t know about his own guild\'s activity.

That\'s my point, no one can know what is happening on your damn forums except the people allowed there.
So far, no one has said anything to make me believe that this guild is not inactive, I don\'t care if Sangwa or whatever has the guild tag...that doesn\'t have anything to do with whether or not the guild is active or not, and neither does a few forum posts that no one can see either.
I\'d apologize if I meant it in a negative way, but why do they care whether or not I think they are inactive? Why do they care if some newbie reading this forum sees that? They sure as hell are not going to be let in the guild anyways.
I wouldn\'t have even replied if I wasn\'t being called blind because I accept the fact that the DE is secretive. But \"blind\" means there is some place the public can see that shows that this guild is active...point it out to me please, because I\'m interested. And that does not mean showing that their members are active, I mean the guild.
-
Kiern a guild is composed by members. So if its members are active it\'s normal that the guild also is. It\'s normal that the active members spend some of their activeness working on guild issues.
Anyway, you\'re all mad because I called you blind? I didn\'t think it was that offensive ^^.
I\'m sorry, you\'re not blind. It\'s normal to think a guild is inactive when you only see one of its members around. It\'s just sad when people go around saying, almost like they\'re sure of it, that DE is inactive. You\'re not the first one, it gets annoying after a while.
Ok I guess we\'re all happy now.
-
Yes, both are happy now, everything stopped! ... xqr?!
-
Kiern, I hate to say, but your posts here are even more pointless than mine on ReBirth (Well mine were pointless but IC)
-
Quit the bickering, all of ya. It\'s crap like this that made me stop visiting the forums. I have been inactive in the community(I have reasons) but NOT in the guild itself. The same goes for several of our members. On the outside we might appear inactive, and I have just recently given the OK to start full recruiting again. With the release of CB I will probably start getting more involved in the community. Percieve the DE as you will, but please dont make shameless comments to make us look bad when we don\'t deserve it. It just isnt cool, understand?
So I ask 2 things.
Of the DE members: Ignore peoples comments unless they are blatant lies. Then by all means clear up the banter, but say no more. Other than that just ignore random insults. And needless to say, don\'t do anything as such yourselves.
Of the community/guilds in general: Let me, my council, and members run our guild how we want and let us RP our characters in peace, and without needless/random insults and lies. In return we will be happy to offer you the same in return.
I know the concept of \"being nice\" and \"respecting one another\" is a foreign concept to some of you, but I think we can all pull it off.
Cheers to all

PS: Kierns reasons for assuming were inactive are completely understandable. We don\'t put on a show out in public. So some may think were \"inactive\". That\'s all ive got to say about that.

I think many people would like to see the Dark Empire ingame :)
but you do as you want ;)

I was just having some fun, can\'t resist messing with Draklar...nice to see you\'re still around Aelya. Hi to Fiere too, I saw her around somewhere.

Messing with me? I\'m not even DE member :rolleyes:

Oh, i didn\'t see anyone and as i played 5~6 hours/day these last days (up to 15 hours), i guess the timezones didn\'t matched :)

Yep, I talked with Fiere yesterday. :)
No lemons yet. *massive sigh of relief* :P

OOC: Well perhaps you need not be scared of the bad on these forums and do like most of us do and look past it. Its not a hard thing to do..
IC: Still alive Aelya? Thats a real shame for a minute there I thought you got lucky and died in your sleep..that would\'ve been alot better then what is going to happen to you..Royality doesn\'t receive mercy unfortunate for you... Better get your people up and going because T.H.S is going to knock you down and rip you apart! Unless that is you get on both knees and ask to be forgiven...then perhaps your fate would change somewhat...
-
err, yea I know I am in a good aligned guild, but I have to say this:
IC - Tell that to Aelya one more time and I\'ll hang you in the middle of Yliakum. Ah, and it will be made public :P
-
IC: Why would I have to repeat myself...did I stutter the first time?!
OOC: hahaha :D

OOC: Draklar, no one seems to understand that you\'re not a DE member anymore ^^. And it has been a lot of time since you were one :P.

Well therefore you first need a rope and those arent implemented yer.
And well, maybe he just tries to atract her attention :D, no just kidding, he is fanatic and such things just belong to a fanatic guy, and if you really manage to get a rope and hang him he will merily jump down with a sling around his neck and continue fighting (or just come out of Death Realm), He is just roleplaying his role, and to that counts that he is a bit arrogant.
And now my two cents about Dark Empire (Though, my impression doesn\'t count anything):
Though you are an evil guild you stay to your honour and that impresses me. Not many evil guilds do that. Most do just kill and loot anything without any reason. You are an honourful guild with an honourful leader, with goals that you reach together. (somehow, well somehow you remind me of The Holy Searing)
And words like \"inactive\" are a bit harsh,
Anyone needs a pause sometime
-
There is plenty of rope and ooh I have this shiny sword to cut it with too. ;) Don\'t worry Annah I\'ll make sure your not short on \"supplies\"
OOC:
Thanks Medarion we like to think there\'s a difference between playing evil and being evil. And inactive is indeed correct, what properly evil person doesn\'t lurk? :]
-
IC: Why don\'t all you light blinded zealots go kick crystals up each others arses and save me the trouble of snuffing out your life and using your organs in a ritual. Oh thats right...Then it would be less fun razing your pathetic lands.
OOC: I can\'t get IG either sadly. I keep crashing at some point or another during the logging in process :P I\'ll figure it out eventually.
-
Why wouldn\'t we do that? Because it would hurt alot Aelya :rolleyes:! It\'s quite a shame that a figure like yourself can stay so fine over the years but your brain rots more everyday, leaving you to a equivalent of a child. Come try and raze our lands before we raise you up by the neck as a warning to others who try to be so ruthless with so little experience.
OOC: Its a shame, keep trying you can probally get in.
-
IC: Not only do you fools lack usefulness but a sense of humor as well? I should speed this campaign up so I may relieve the world of your dullness.
-
IC: im afriad not aelya the IT have already declaired there intent to clean out these religios wakkos from the face of our lands so there blinded judgement of what is evil shall be felt no more. so when you arive with crystals and boots all you will see is burn bodys of them :)
-
IC: Depthblade, it\'s bad enough that you follow stupid ideals, you don\'t need to be as stupid yourself. Get a grip on your nasty tongue ynnwn don\'t insult the Princess again.
Go back to your pack and howl all you need, just make sure the noise doesn\'t reach our hears.
-
IC: Well Sangwa I wouldn\'t expect you to like my ideals when they involve burning you an your people to the ground. No hard feelings when its over, hopefully you do better in the after life with the path you choose ;)
Dullness Aeyla I shall make the hunt for you an \"Art\". We will be very open to what the public wants done with you ^^
-
IC: I\'ll look forward to it. But now I must debate whether or not to raise your dead corpse into my army or just burn it.
-
IC: Well if you manage to send me down under and have the chance you would be better off raising my corpse because even in death I would be the best fighter you would have. As for that let us not speak anymore words on the matter, action is so much more satisfying
