Title: The Council Of Greys
Post by: TheGrey on April 12, 2004, 06:23:28 pm
The Grey ones awaken.

Heed mortals for a this is when ages meet. Eternally have we watched, and watch we will till the ends of time.
 
 Ours is the burden.
 We are the guardians.
 
 Ours is the will.
 We are the keepers.
 
 Ours is the eye.
 We are the watchers.
 
 Ours is the hand.
 We are the makers.
 
 Yours is the judgement.
 We are the Greys.
 
 
The association is formed of two councils :

-The general council.

-The council of greys.

Entry to either is restricted.

Note:
TheGrey is not an entity. It is the voice of the Elders.
******************************************
This is intended as a general notice to the Public to announce our arrival.

well I\'m not saying good luck... from obvious reason, but what is this council thingy about anyway?

Post by: AendarCallenlasse on April 12, 2004, 06:36:39 pm
Check the sigs of certain people Drak.  This comes as no surprise.  I think he\'s trying the secret guild thing again... :rolleyes:
Title:
Post by: Draklar on April 12, 2004, 06:39:48 pm
I did, that\'s why I\'m not saying good luck (more or less because of one person I simply despise).

lol secret guild filled with the special players of PlaneShift...Sounds just like a guild for people that believe themselves to be a higher class when they are not :) Oh well we will see where it goes :P
Title:
Post by: seperot on April 12, 2004, 07:49:46 pm
me high class? you must be drunk :P

im about as high class as a bottle of vodka

btw who\'s idea was the voice thing? and why wasent i consulted :P
Title:
Post by: Moogie on April 12, 2004, 08:04:06 pm
I think it\'s a strange way you\'ve set this up... it would be far better for you to have told them what the Grey Ones are, and kept the members secret. I told you everyone would think you\'re some kind of evil spy guild... :P Just tell them.

Well, not that it means much to some, but I can vouch that the Grey Ones is a very good idea and has been created to assist the community and the game. \'Fraid that\'s all I can say though. If Auran wants to keep the goals and not the members secret... that\'s his weird decision. :P
Title:
Post by: Draklar on April 12, 2004, 08:15:18 pm
I don\'t think they\'re evil spy guild...
uhhh... members secret? I bet Kwartz\' former leg (aka Tranor) that Grakrim is in it...
Title:
Post by: Yann on April 12, 2004, 08:26:16 pm
Aendar, just so that you know (and others), it has nothing to see with a guild.  :D
EDIT: and it\'s not evil either  :P

EDIT2: Sep, the voice thing wasn\'t my idea lol...
Title:
Post by: Monketh on April 12, 2004, 09:04:43 pm
I don\'t believe ya about the voice Sep.  No other person could mispell \"Council\".  :D

Auran is the Leader eh?  Unlike Drak I don\'t hold grudges for eternity, so I\'ll wish ye luck. :))

I\'m assuming it\'s an organization out to improve life in-game, though I can\'t be sure.

Funny thing.  :D

But oh, well, don\'t loose *that* momentum.
Title:
Post by: Half_Pint on April 12, 2004, 11:04:12 pm
Well, I guess I should wish you good luck and no spamming.  It would be nice to know a little about what you do, especially since you\'ve gone to the trouble to let us know who your members are.    8)

What happened to true secrecy?  It seems to me that the biggest success for a secret organization is that nobody knows that it exists.

Anyway, good luck...   :D

Post by: DepthBlade on April 12, 2004, 11:59:58 pm
Well if you don\'t like their whole secrecy thing just ignore the whole guild and pretend it doesn\'t exist, really how important is this guild and its secrets lol? Just another guild that likes to play little games :)

Well it annoys in the same way the illuminati annoys me, i dont like feeling left out. Thats why i always get in trouble, curiousity is my downfall.
Title:
Post by: DepthBlade on April 13, 2004, 12:16:21 am
Just put it out of your mind it will be alright, just a stupid guild that are playing in their own little world. A world tha will last until another one is made up in a few days..Zephyrus you just gotta understand there is no secret worth digging for its all a bunch of diddle squat that is worth no more then the secrets of RuneScape eh?
Title: oh!
Post by: TheRedMonk on April 13, 2004, 12:45:12 am
Why all this scepticism? All these posts only proves that this project was not created in vain, if its purpose really is to help the community.

Good luck you guys! Wish I could help...
Title:
Post by: DepthBlade on April 13, 2004, 12:49:22 am
If they are here to help please let them post how they plan to accomplish there good deeds for this community??

I read there thing about being guardians but that doesn\'t say alot, there is many guilds that do that! What makes this any different from the others thats what I want to know?
Title:
Post by: Davis on April 13, 2004, 01:34:33 am
It\'s quite obvious. These are the only ones that eat your brains while you sleep.
Title:
Post by: Sangwa on April 13, 2004, 03:34:37 am
They didn\'t kept the members secret so that they could show off their kewl sigs. I would be lying if I said I cared about this, but good luck anyway.
Title:
Post by: Dameon on April 13, 2004, 03:53:42 am
I dunno, I find the sigs kinda cool :D. As long as its not damaging other guilds or generaly flamming and spamming all, I welcome the council.

no... I used the right form alright ;)
And I didn\'t say long speeches, I said boring ones. And geez... comparing Auran to Golbez... it\'s like comparing an old and useless gaffer to a wise man. :rolleyes:

what i do in my privite time and what i do with the grey ones are 2 totaly different matters if that makes any of you feel...umm....something

and draklar go be totaly unromantic...or hug annah or something ;)
Title:
Post by: Draklar on April 13, 2004, 11:43:33 am
hey! It was Annah hugging you! He was doing other stuff to me... I don\'t remember what... as a matter of fact I don\'t want to remember :rolleyes:

anyway, are you going to say what are you people up to or is it another useless and boring \'we are so great\' association like the \"Great Gods\" thingy?

ps: yea, I won\'t comment the unromantic part :P
Title:
Post by: seperot on April 13, 2004, 12:18:18 pm
Great gods was dorbains idea..i just nodded and whent along for the ride :P
Title:
Post by: dorbian on April 13, 2004, 01:19:43 pm
the great gods was a group that would get info on people, any kind of info, like you do something we put it in a file and sell it for cash, if you have enough info on people they can consider you as a god cause you can blackmail m for cash, that\'s why it was the great gods but since everybody hated the name and shit like that it was killed before it could even start properly, but the idea itself was good the name should have been different.
and sep agreed to be in, but he didn\'t say WOOHOO I\'M A MEMBER I\'M COOL, he just told me do whatever you want ( as usuall ).
Title:
Post by: Moogie on April 13, 2004, 06:32:40 pm
Well I\'m a \'semi\' member of the Greys myself... I just don\'t have their sig. :P I don\'t believe this will get far though, unless Auran makes the purpose known. If he doesn\'t do it, I will. :P
Title:
Post by: Grakrim on April 14, 2004, 01:03:56 am
Its all elitist dribble if you ask me, yet another shadowy \"secret\" organization already too public for its own good... No better than the now-defunct Great Gods or Cabal, just with cooler sigs.  There are easier and better ways to effect change or \"assist the community\"; as there are also better ways for a secret guild to make itself known, via the spreading of rumors and misinformation in discrete forums, such as in-game or IRC.

But good luck nonetheless, prove that you\'re not as big of a failure that we think thus far.

(On a side note, this all but prevents me from reusing my \"Grakrim the   Greyminded\" moniker that was my sig for a good month awhile back (Not to mention core to my oft-delayed background story); but oh well, I suppose I can\'t complain)

On a serious note: Elegrand, it looks like more of a freelancer\'s organization.

Oi, well better late than never.  Good luck with your guild/organization/old man friendship (jk).

I just hope you guys won\'t decide to tell us what to wear or what to eat (Heh, you cant stop me from drinking beer at Kada\'s!!).

And why can\'t you give Auran another chance Drak?  People can change, ya know.
Title:
Post by: AendarCallenlasse on April 19, 2004, 04:18:14 am
By the gods...you people are still stuck on this bad attempt at popularity?

I think it is quite obvious that this \"guild\" was built to make it\'s members fell special and powerful.  Look at the people who are a part of it and tell me that you don\'t think so.

They want people to talk about them.  So why humor them?
Title:

Post by: seperot on April 19, 2004, 12:11:56 pm
Guild - no

special and powerfull - no i just join anything that dosent have the word \"guild\" printed on it before the person finishs telling me :P

Drak should know that far more than anyone else. ;)



Right, this is bothering me now... seriously. There\'s no point in this thing existing if all it attracts is all this disbelief and confusion and mistrust... therefore, to hell with secrecy. :P (If I get booted I won\'t be missing much so I\'m not really all that bothered...)

The Greys is supposed to be a secret organisation whos members take the part of \'actors\' in the game world and play out quests for the general public. It\'s meant to encourage roleplay amongst oldbies and newbies alike and offer rewards at the end of it all.

The major mistake made here was to make the members known, and yet the organisation\'s goals secret. It surely should have been the other way round. That\'s why I really don\'t think this will work now unless things suddenly turn around after this post and people start liking the idea.


There. :P \"Big secret\" huh. Pssh. Kick me out if necessary as I broke my oath of silence.

The idea is really good! You shouldnt drop it yet... :D
Even though its sad that the whole thing went wrong it feels kinda good to see that the oldbies can act like newbies from time to time. ;)
Title:
Post by: Yann on April 19, 2004, 03:52:33 pm
Seperot : I guess Auran will be quite upset when he sees that you burned the sig he made...

Post by: Sangwa on April 19, 2004, 09:18:12 pm
So why make it all secret and stuff? Well this proves that if you want to be secret don\'t say anything about secrecy in public, or it all gets torn apart. Some of you should know better.
Oh wait... unless you want a change in your plans or something of that nature.

I guess you could had approach this idea from a different way (a not-that-secret way, since it was about the comunity and all). Or at least I think so. All of us make mistakes *looks to some of the above posts*
Title:
Post by: Monketh on April 19, 2004, 10:39:37 pm
*sniffs*
What\'s cookin\'?  :P

Ah, so if that is true, Auran really has changed.  :)

Anyway, you guys feel free to bug me if you have a part ya\'d like me to play or anything.
You should start open joining if you want to have any real effect btw.
