This may just be one of the worst topics in The Hydlaa Plaza.

What's everyone getting so defensive about? Its a legitimate question. (though, in my opinion a fairly obvious answer)
Really, I don't think he cares that some of you do not.

« on: July 21, 2007, 08:05:47 pm »Yliakum does have one solid and central government, known as the Octarchy.
Key word is "widespread". Yliakum is big. There will be places controlled by it, and places that aren't. There is no possible way one SINGLE government could control all of that land. At least not one that is possibly able to ban certain books effectively.
At least that's my assumption. Otherwise, like I said, that would be fairly stupid. But then maybe I speak too soon.

Uh. Yliakum isn't a country.
Nor does it have a single widespread government.
That would be fairly stupid.

General Discussion / Re: Planeshift.. boring??
« on: July 15, 2007, 11:40:55 pm »
Planeshift is very boring. So is every other MMORPG in existance simply because of the very basis of what a MMORPG is.
But you guys obviously like MMORPGs, so ignoring the first half of the post...
...if you choose to play Planeshift it HAS to be about the community, otherwise you ARE going to be bored. Adding more features into the game might prolong your stay but long-term it doesn't do jack. Because if you like the community, you will have fun not depending on the actual game Planeshift. And if you do not like the community, go try another one of the seventy-billion MMORPGs.
It's that simple, really.

« on: July 10, 2007, 08:21:36 am »
Ok fair enough.
But you're saying that, because of this, people would not get into fights here? It's such a high-traffic area it actually seems to be the most logical place for fights to break out. Especially because if this was in fact reality, guards would have a much harder time breaking up the miscreants due to the mass quantity of bodies. Especially if there are a lot of them (mobs anyone?). People are stupid. They do not generally take everything into account before throwing down. It's just what happens.
And should guards, legally, be able to just kill the people causing the problems? If not, then they would have a much harder time breaking things up but it makes sense. You can't just massacre people causing problems. Because on a day-to-day basis they are (generally) normal people who add to the community.
Then again, maybe killing someone isn't thought of as too bad in a world where no one actually "dies". But then why care if people fight?
Eh. I think I've talked myself into a circle. That's all from me (your welcome). Night.

« on: July 10, 2007, 07:36:27 am »As such the answer was crystal-clear. There are more guards than what can be perceived visually. Setting-wise anyway. Not yet implemented, since PS isn't quite complete game. For all the time you spent here, Kiern, you should know that. Or maybe not, considering you don't actually play...
How about less attempting to be witty, and more actually being?
And I think you made a false assumption I tried to convince you. You don't even care, so why do you want me to explain anything to you?
There we go.
I understand completely the setting is not entirely implemented, because back when I was involved in the game, there was none! (and I did actually take part in the community then)
Yes, there are things that assumed to be there, but when you say that there are guards who are SUPPOSED to be there, how do we know that is true? Why would there be tons of guards patrolling everywhere? Maybe Hydlaa is renowned for it's lack of good security? The place seemed pretty shoddy to me last time I was there. Big cities tend to be. The fact is, the Planeshift setting leaves a lot open for discussion.
Anyways that's getting off topic, my issue was more dealing with the way you presented your argument, not the game itself. Since, you're right, I don't play the game and the only statements I can make from that are from a theoretical standpoint from what I've read.
There have been (very few) times we have agreed on certain topics, and you had no problem with my posts then. That seems to be the trend, unsurprisingly.

Haha. See what I mean? You're fantastic Draklar...I thought you were trying to convince someone of your point, not make grandiose statements and have no way to back them up.
Let me know next time you're going to try and argue with someone. It'll be funsies.

« on: July 10, 2007, 06:58:06 am »There was a clear answer at the very beginning. There are more guards than what can be seen. They are all around and patrolling.
It was a simple decision from certain people to deny this information and argue against it.
Haha. Clear answer, right. "The imaginary guards are what's stopping them!" I'm not saying you're wrong or right...but in no way can you call that clear (or a way to make a convincing argument).
I'm sorry I missed most of this thread, there's so many of your posts that would have been fun to pick apart. Damn you slip n slide! ...oh well.

Man, I went without electricity for almost a month and was surprised by how little I missed it. But I have a friend like this and he was freaking out just hanging out at our house.

Ha.
Uh, I'll suppose you're referring to Bilbous.
I'm referring to anyone who does what I described. No reason to single someone out when the same concept would be applied to anyone who says the same thing.
I mean...

The Hydlaa Plaza / Re: Favorite Music
« on: May 31, 2007, 08:15:16 am »The Copyrights
Are their music really cool? If so, what genre is theirs? And is their music free to download on Kazaa, or do The Copyrights have Copyright?
I guess you would call them "pop-punk", a genre I don't often listen to or like but they play it really well. You can probably listen to them on myspace like every other band in the world (www.myspace.com/thecopyrights). I'm not sure if you can find them on kazaa.
