Ahem, got a problem, little man? ^^

I am fully active again and ready to get the ball back rolling. Apologies to all negative effects as a result of my absence. (Obscene gestures to any who would suggest positive effects ) I have sent out an e-mail to my guild suggesting what might be happening...

Hopefully within the next three days the guild will be up and running. (At least mostly).

Zyphon, PM me your e-mail or e-mail me or something.

The two who still haven\'t told me if they\'re coming over, let me know. You know who you are.

That is all... for today.

I guess here\'s as good as any place to announce.

My ISP now sucks, school is screwing me left and right, and my job is in jeopardy. I guess I\'ll see you guys in about a week when I get this **** straightened out. :tdown: -_-

I guess the only bit of good news I got is that google\'s mail thingy rocks and I\'m seregon there now. So there. E-mail me. Bleh...

What the hell is this? A CoLA Revival?
Hallelujah! Preach on, brotha Depthblade!

Um... anyways... you guys have fun amassing your armies to stand in our way. Let us know when you\'re going to march so we can sneak around you and loot your empty houses.

Anyone who wishes to lay down their arms and hand over their loot in advance to make things easier and less painful, PM me with subject line SURRENDER (gotta keep things organized, ya know) and I\'ll let the appropriate people know.

You could always do what I\'m doing and completely rewrite your backstory, hoping no one notices before the next release. But you have to go away or be really, really quiet for most of a year and then when you come back and CB still hasn\'t come out get a bunch of new friends, change your guild, and start recruiting a whole bunch of people.

And you have to blab all your plans on the forum....

I\'m just gonna stop talking now.

The equivalent of a demon would be a diabolus. The equivalent of an angel, I could only guess, would be either a good-aligned diabolus (so far unheard of but not unthinkable to an adventurous role-player) or something not native to Yliakum (a planewalker). You could also work in something in your backstory and look like something else entirely. For example, I\'m an Ynnwn, half demon and half gray elf. There are no gray elves in PlaneShift. See what I mean? If you want to be a vampire just be one of those weird-looking Xacha and skin yourself some pointy teeth. Just say you\'re masquerading as one of them cos of your pale skin and you\'re the son of a diabolus and some travelling celestial from another plane. It could happen. The point I was trying to make is that no matter how good your idea is, if they do it for one person, they have to do it for everyone to maintain fairness. And, incidently, everything I named came straight from a 2nd edition D&D Monstrous Manual. I wasn\'t just making up critters no one has ever heard of.  

[Edit: Did you by any chance get hit in the face with a shovel as a child? LOL, I\'m sorry I couldn\'t resist...]

Ooh and we could have frog people, that would like breathe under water and stuff like that, and would be uber-cool flycatchers!

And we could have manscorpions, that could have +8 tails of destruction, with poison that kills people, and they could have a high moving rate but be totally vulnerable to alcohol!

And, ooh, we could have harpies, that could, like, fly around and stuff, and have wicked high charisma!

And we could have nymphs, and code it to where people really had the saving throws to where if they saw one they would get entranced and if one disrobed they could just up and die!

And, ooh, ooh....!

I could go on and on. Do you see the problem? A neat backstory and a guild could accomodate your wishes without the Dev. team having to stop what they\'re doing to make everyone their own cool character.

LOL poll results are now coming in at +/- 3.125%

Good job, Syzerian
