What a bit of joking around that an Equality driven guild seems similar to communism?

The guild itself is a cool idea (I don't know if it will last, but a cool idea to test out). Just because someone labelled them communist and the members now take the mickey out of the assumed connection does not make it require deletion.

Nothing wrong with some fun and banter. Don't take it all so seriously, relax and laugh at the humour.

The humour comes from the association, my friend. They wouldn't be half as funny without us making fun of them.

You have a message waiting for you at 1-800-NOBODYCARES.

I think a lot of people here will find meaning in this.  I did.

Welcome address to freshman at Boston Conservatory, given by Karl Paulnack, pianist and director of music division at Boston Conservatory.

One of my parents' deepest fears, I suspect, is...

Frankly, ladies and gentlemen, I expect you not only to master music; I expect you to save the planet. If there is a
future wave of wellness on this planet, of harmony, of peace, of an end to war, of mutual understanding, of equality, of
fairness, I don't expect it will come from a government, a military force or a corporation. I no longer even expect it
to come from the religions of the world, which together seem to have brought us as much war as they have peace. If there
is a future of peace for humankind, if there is to be an understanding of how these invisible, internal things should
fit together, I expect it will come from the artists, because that's what we do. As in the concentration camp and the
evening of 9/11, the artists are the ones who might be able to help us with our internal, invisible lives."

Paulnack is milking 9/11, the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, to polish his speech. It's a very gray speech that weaves together American liberal political views of 9/11, the war against Iraq and a few other assumptions about world politics that liberal Americans often cite. And, to punctuate the whole spiel he associates Hitler's concentration camps for Jews during World War II with 9/11. I don't find it very compelling, I think it is a vacant speech, a crowd-pleaser written to sound eloquent to the ears but not wake the sleeping mind in between them.

Music alters brain chemistry. Many people feel different immediately when they hear music. This is neither good or bad, it simply is a fact. Reading a newspaper or book, or conducting an in depth studying of a subject doesn't have the same immediate effect on the brain. That's why you play a song that everyone in the room knows and likes, and say "this song changed the world" and no one will argue with you. The music didn't change the world, it was merely the soundtrack of your life and upon hearing it all of those lovely brain chemicals start to secrete and we all feel good. But, it hardly equips us to "save the planet".

The two orgs must plant spies in each other's guild who gather information, spread disaffection, and probably murder some innocent guildies. The One could supply weapons to its ally of convenience and create distractions and additional turmoil.

A shadowy figure pushed a lighted torch through the window of a TTC warehouse. Minutes later the building is a completely engulfed in flames and smoke. The League is blamed for the destruction but Tyndale's secret inner core know it was in fact the work of The One who only claim to have no military wing.

D:
i didn't expect this entire thread to turn into a thing of leetspeak and upside down and random flippsing but i thought you could "build" a house. As that's what it said one could build their own house :/ and well i've got a friend and after our current game we're playing grows boring they're being dumb but still. No housing option even though they have a housing adminstrator and the grid system is set up so that the game would support housing. And the marriages cost ~25Million gold or if youwant to pay with real world money it's 63$. Either way's completely crazy and the housing systems down. So then are houses able to be built? Because i heard about buying it from some other guy and well :/ i'd rather build my own if that was possible.

I know how serious marriage is :/ i just wanted to marry her and build a home together and role play out our lives virually XD

Two persons of apparently opposite sex can marry; not sure how it works when Krans are involved.

You cannot build a private house. You can purchase a building to be used as a guild hall.

There are semi-private bedrooms above the Kada-El Tavern where parts of a marriage ritual could be conducted.

...Extremism is when you dismiss roleplayers who want to see more roleplay happen in a roleplay game...

  QFT

If PlaneShift had the a reputation of being hostile to OOC abuses a flood of hardcore role-players would set up camp in the game and a golden age of RP would begin, honey and milk would flow, the sky would rain platinum ingots, and 500/500 10.5 Damage swords would grow on trees. 

Then suddenly the alarm clock would sound and it would be 6:00 AM and time to get up for work. 

...And I think my point is that it is each person who decides if it is disruptive. I have no problem with OOC text...

Several persons in this thread have said clearly that they find OOC chat to be disruptive. If no one did then there wouldn't be interest in the subject and no one would be contributing to this thread. We get that you don't find OOC text splattered like vomit all over IC chat to be a problem. Others do, however, hence the discussion.
