Lore

[Leodinus]

This is in no way to nit pick.  Just sayin\' that in the Lore on the Planeshift website under history is a bit messy.  What I mean to say is that at some points Laanx is a woman and at other times she is a he.  It seems to flip flop around a bit.  I\'m not tryin\' to say anything bad, just pointing it out .

Thanks, and you are right.

The main thing is Laanx starts off a goddess and later becomes a god?after becoming filled with rage over an incident.
The lore page is a bit hard to understand but at the moment the webpage has become sort of a low priority.

The other thing is there are bits of lore that may change as the story is evolving and we don?t want to post things that will change the following week, so we don?t post anything.

I know this is a poor excuse, but that is the main reason for the current history/lore being as is.

But to a large degree it is a work in progress

Hehehe...if you want someone to work on it...I\'d gladly do it (I sent in my resume and such to the people for setting or whatever last night).

I understand, though, you have priorities .

Actually, you will probably be getting a little test/application thing next, the people on the recruiting/hiring side, are a bit back logged at the moment, many reasons for it?but you may have to wait a bit?best thing is to send a couple of reminders every two days or so until you get a response. And if you are still having problems after a week or so, PM one of the devs, that are active on the forums?with your e-mail and we will forward the info to the appropriate people.

But that may take time as we might forget to look at the forums for a few weeks :-)
 
I?ve been guilty of that. So just be aware.

It sometimes takes some time. Also we try to get new people a few at a time?see how they work, and then go for a few more. That may also be what is holding things up.

As soon as I am aware of the current status of things I?ll try and update you.
I know a few of you are waiting, I would send a reminder and then wait till they send you a task or a test?then we can go from there.

I will never seem to understand why people have such trouble understanding this aspect of the lore. Laanx is first a harmonious god, the key part being that Laanx is a god. Look at the greek mythologies, their gods took any form they saw fit to use. So to best express Laanx\'s emotions and harmoniousness the god took the form of a beautiful woman. Now when Talad accidently scared that beautiful form also causing a slight delerium to form, she then took the form of what best suited these knew feelings and madness. The god Laanx then became the masked male form. Later on while dealing with the delerium and thriving for power he stumbled across the Klyros. Using his greed he wanted to manipulate, suduce, this race and add it to his growing follwing. to do this he took the form of the beautiful woman again. when the Klyros blew her off she reverted back into the twisted chaotic male form to force out his vengeance.

The thing is Laanx is a god. It could have taken the form of a dog for that matter and it would still make no difference. Gods have no visible form and only take shape to allow their worshipers a vision that they can comprihend.

Well sir you are wrong.  Even in Greek and Roman myth the gods and goddesses kept pretty much to their sex.  Even when Zeus turned into a bull...well..a bull is male.  I have to ask you staw a question.  Were you born an ass or did you have to take courses?  Because you are being a major one on these boards.

I find it so funny how people can never seem to just voice opinions on the topic and not resort to name calling and insults. If you are refuring to the post I have made on the Race thread then you seem to have missed one important thing. In all those posts I have only said might, coould, and possibly. Not once did I say that there was a problem but that there could be a problem.

As for the gods keeping their gender, even when they changed to animals, is a small aspect. The observation of the greek gods was that they had no stable form. They could have changed gender if they wanted, they just didn\'t. Gods are omnipotent and can do anything they will. That is the only thing I couldn\'t seem to understand why people have problems with it.

On a final note, insult me all you like if it makes you feel better somehow but remember not once have I turned to insults but only voiced obvious concerns that problems could accur and should be looked into for their viability.

I just call them how I see them.  Besides that you seem to forget one thing.  You keep mixing up Greek and Roman and other gods of such with the Jewish and Christian God.  The Greek and Roman gods were far from omnipotent (they could die...they had human emotions that messed with them...they could have a variety of things happen to them).  The fact is the lore on the page was a bit confusing.  I kinda got that she became a he, but it might not be so clear for others.

[Stawert]

From what I understood about the Greek gods were that they were all powerfull. Yes they could die but only to the powers of another god or from a blade diped in a golden unicorn\'s blood, or something like that.  It is that reason I called them omnipotent in that no mortal messure could compete against them. The only way a mortal could would be to partake of ambrosia which granted immortality and godly powers. Again the mortal had to become a god to kill a god.

I know my knowledge of Greek gods is not all that good. I learned most of it from Clash of the Titons. Before that it was just a childhood thing of astrology. Then it was only constalations and not what the gods really were.

Not like it matters...bloody hell.
