URPS - Life, the Universe and Everything
« on: June 01, 2005, 08:16:46 pm »
While browsing the URPS site I came across this post by Ashamn

Quote

Greetings all mates.

It\'s strange but URPS is looking like a zombie, how can we move with this organization without participation. For what i\' saw after the Hydlaa Festival of the Hunt, URPS started to dye, and we dont want such thing, mmh maybe its time of a new meeting...

Hope you read this,

Ashamn


I replied as such

Ahh good to see you and glad you\'re still with us. ATM Valbrandr and I are stuck without any internet access until our fight with our isp is resolved. Because of this, my house searching, and caring for the pregnant wife, life\'s just been busy. Without internet I feel sort of paralyzed, so I do what I can from here at work but I feel as if I\'m going it alone. I have not given up on the URPS and I WILL NOT let it die. As long as I live and PS exists so will the URPS. I want to focus on direction, philosophy and ideology of the URPS and how it can influence and aid PS and regain support and gain even more than we had before. We need something new. Something big. Something no one has ever done before and that is part of the problem. I\'m too stupid, too conditioned by society, too ignorant to truely think outside the box. I\'m trapped in a lack of ideals and a lack of origionality, thus my driving force on the URPS is extremely lacking . I blame myself.

I consider myself lucky though to know such people as yourself. Your dedication is appriciated and I want you to know that Ashamn




All this got me to thinking.  Where can we really truely actually go.  I feel like the URPS is something of a shooting star right now, blazing across the sky in a beautiful and spectuar way, yet fading quickly, so that it is nothing but a memory.  This was my greatest fear from the beginning and I do not wish to see this happen.  I am looking for ways to come back, and come back strong, revamped, born again and improved.
 
We may need to restructure.  It ended up not how I envisioned it nor Valbrandr.  I had in my head a council of elders sort of thing going but I\'m not sure now - I need to let the fog clear.

To Do:

Find a direction to go.
Come up with ways of keeping people interested.
Find a way to be a productive member of the PS community.
Find a state of permance.
Finish new website
Recruit
Brainstorm
Regroup
and many many more that my feeble mind cannot think of right now.

Done:

This post
More stuff for the new website


P.S.  Ahhhhhh a little Metallica and System of a Down to help me think clearly.


Update:

I am going to try to start publishing a URPS Newsletter on either a Monthly or BiMonthly basis charting our ideas, discussion, and what we are working on and progress.  I\'ll start soon to try to set it up so people can register to have it emailed to them.

and here is the website for those of you who are not familiar with the URPS

I\'ll fully dedicate to URPS as soon as my final exams will be over, and I\'ll be at the University ... that means from the \"middle\" of August.

 Aaa...

AHHH!!! don\'t remind me of that! I\'m screwed with Portuguese. Also As I\'m a a lazy guy I don\'t like to study... and although I had to study for these globals I couldn\'t even if I wanted... teachers still gave us loads of homework and loads of groupworks... it sucks...

I don\'t care... I won\'t study for them :P


Although I don\'t participate in the forums (too many forums already to check and participate) You can count with me for anything...


Just a thingy...
Annah, how can you study Biology and History at the same time? How can you study History?! How can you even study?! Annah you\'re my hero now...
YAY for Within Temptation and The Corrs!!!

OOEEE , i thought the URPS was dead meat...

There haven\'t been much updates on the forums and i haven\'t heard from any member in a long time .
I would really see URPS get back active again , you have my full support and i\'m sure my other guild collegeus(hope i wrote that right) will support you as well ( actually we don\'t have a choice ,we\'re in it :P )

Hmm...keep us updated .Hope there\'s gonna be a meeting soon .

Sounds like a whole lot of hot air, if you ask me.

Actually, it\'s \"colleagues\", but we\'ll forgive you this time.

Yes, it is true that I give my opinion on many things. After all, that\'s what a forum is for, really. I am not, however, a spammer, and do not post on things about which I have no opinion. So I believe I\'m within my rights.

Yes, it\'s no secret that I don\'t support URPS. However, I am fairly good friends with Valbrandr, Induane, Sangwa, and Annah. If I say something inappropriate, I\'m sure they\'ll let me know.

As for what I said about your spelling mistake. It was just a joke.

To sum up this post: Chill.

 True indeed.

 I totally agree, there\'s no need to create such a tension, when there\'s no need of it. And besides, telling some opinions is why are these boards here aye? ;)

 My advise? Aaa... Cheers! :D

All this tension derives from the fact that evil is vanishing. If there was still cabali like people we would be too busy with them to create any tensions between each other.
So I say our new priority should be reviving the Cabal.

I thought you were evil.

Besides, I don\'t have a problem with no evil being around. I\'m neutral so I\'ll just pick on whoever\'s handy.

And I always thought Deus ex Trucido was evil..and around.  


Neutral? I thought you were evil all this time.
