Oh, I know... But the question is do you know it...
*points at the community awards thread*


Most people who read this probably know about Kwartz (well, besides Drey for sure...) and if I were to remove all people that left community, then I wouldn\'t have enough characters to actually write it...

Brilliant, Sir Draklar. Damn funny.  

[Drey]

i know of Kwartz, he doesnt like The Offspring :/

[Draklar]

Chapter X


  Draklar took a look around. He was standing in the NPC Room, sector filled with nothing but trees and a cozy smithy. He had his hands tied up with some rope, as he found out - Cad used it to keep people from logging out from the Planetrix. Soon he was moved all the way to the smithy, facing its doors. Cad used a push command to transport him through the doors. Few seconds later, all three Game Masters teleported themselves after him.
   \"Have you ever stood and stared at it,\" Cad began to speak. \"Marveled by it\'s complexity, it\'s genius? Billions of players--\"
 \"Hardly...\" Draklar interrupted him.
  \"...Tens of thousands--\"
  \"Thou hast to be kidding...\"
  \"Oh really? Do you want to look at the server stats?\"
 \"Right, I myself have o\'er thirty Molecular Blue characters... What art thou trying to prove?\"
 \"As I was saying..! Hundreds of players just playing their game, oblivious. Did you know that the first Planetrix was designed to be a perfect role-playing world.. Where none trolled. Where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the game. Many were getting bored, entire groups of players were leaving. Some believed that we lacked the programming skills to create your perfect game. But I believe that as a type of players, role-players define their enjoyment through yelling and arguing with trolls. Perfect game, one without struggles, arguing, annoying trolls... it kept making your kind leaving out of boredom. Which is why the Planetrix was redesigned to this, the peak of your Planeshift. I say your Planeshift, because as soon as  Crystal Blue got released, Planeshift became power-levelers game, which is of course what this is all about. Progress, Draklar, progress, like the tabletop games... Look at all the MMORPGs. You had your time, Draklar. The future is power-levelers\' time.\"
 \"Drey!\" Drey interrupted him.
 Cad sighed. \"What is it, Drey?\"
   \"There could be issues...\"

   
    \"What are they doing to him?\" Asked Unitearica.
   \"Tryin\' to make \'em leave.\" Answered Kwartz. \"It like squeezin\' a lemon thru yer nose, all it takes is time.\"
  \"How much time?\"
  \"Lemme show you.\" Kwartz took a medium sized lemon and started squeezing it into his nose.
    \"Argh!\" Unitearica turned away. \"Oh, that\'s disgusting! Make it stop!\"
   \"Hmm... it stuck ina nose...\" Kwartz poked the lemon.
 \"Depends on the mind.\" Said Karyuu. \"Eventually it will crack and when it does, Draklar will leave and tell them anything they want to know.\"
   \"Well what do they want?\"
 \"Stuffed pork chops.\" Answered Kwartz.
    \"What?\" Unitearica cocked an eyebrow.
 \"Chops is them smaller cuts from them loin primal cut. They individual serving cuts that are sliced to various thicknesses. Dependin\' in the size of--\"
    \"No, I mean--\"
    \"Kwartz...\" Karyuu sighed. \"You\'re talking about Savion.\"
    \"Savion ain\'t pork chop, Kary.\" The Kran smiled. \"Them are a little freaky guy that talkin\' ina third person...\"
  \"I know, but it\'s Savion who wants the pork chops, not the Game Masters. They want something that we actually have...\"
 Kwartz blinked. \"Why wud anyone want Demarthl\'s pants?\"
    Karyuu slapped her forehead. \"To make a salad, Kwartz. Now go and pull that lemon out of your nose...\"
    \"On our way, Kary.\"
   Karyuu turned to Unitearica. \"The leader of every group is given password to rebelion forums\' secret area. If a Game Master got the password and got into forums\' secret area, they could destroy us. We can\'t let that happen.\"
 \"Forums more important than we or you or even Draklar...\" Added Kwartz.
   \"Even more important than lemons?\" Unitearica smirked.
    The Kran grabbed him by the collar and looked deep into his eyes, squeezing Unitearica against the wall. \"Never, ever deny the importance of lemon. Got\'it? Lemon is them GOD! Nothing more important than lemon. Now repeat, lemon is god! Repeat it!\"
    \"Kwartz! Kwartz!\" Karyuu kept poking the Kran. \"Put him down...\"
    \"Alright, ya getting down... but only cuz the bird wants it... But remember... Lemon... God... Praise... Lemon.\" Kwartz put him down.
 \"So...\" Unitearica tried to make himself to stop shaking. \"Should we delete his character or something?\"
    \"What?!\" Karyuu\'s eyes widened. \"No! Have you lost your mind?\"
   \"Well, if the forums are more important...\"
   \"Screw the forums, we\'re going to save him!\"


   \"Never send a role-player to do Game Master\'s job...\" Said Cad.
    \"If indeed the insider has failed,\" Continued Tmed. \"They\'ll delete his character as soon as possible, unless...\"
    \"They lag to death. Hmm... Drey has a plan!\" Finished Drey.
   \"...We have no choice but to continue as planned.\" Said Cad. \"Deploy the birdies immediately.\"


  \"Draklar, you\'s more than a leader to us...\" Said Kwartz while staring at the delete button. \"You\'s... them guy that spoke in that funny way. We\'ll miss you anyways.\"
 \"Be quiet Kwartz, we\'re getting him out.\" Said Karyuu.
 \"Stop. I don\'t believe this is happening.\" Continued Unitearica.
   \"Uni\'o, this has to be done.\"
  \"Does it? I don\'t know, I... this can\'t be just coincidence. It can\'t be.\"
   \"Watcha talkin\' bout, Willis?\" Asked Kwartz.
   \"Grono. She told me this would happen. She told me that Draklar would leave, and then...\"
 \"Then what?\" Karyuu tilted her head.
  \"Then he would return anyway... There\'s no point in saving him.\"
   \"What?!\"
  \"He\'ll come back sooner or later... So we can just wait.\"
  \"I\'m not going to wait, Uni\'o! We\'re going in... Now!\"
   \"But... That\'s a suicide!\"
 \"Uni\'o, I know you don\'t want to get him out just because we were stalking you--\"
   \"Ah-ha!\" Unitearica interrupted her.
  \"...Because you -think- we were stalking you. You are the one, remember? Nothing can happen to you.\"
  \"No, I\'m not...\"
   \"What?\" Karyuu cocked an eyebrow.
 \"Grono told me I\'m not the one.\"
   \"No, you have to be.\"
 \"Sorry, I\'m not. I\'m just another player.\"
  \"No, Uni\'o, that\'s not true. It can\'t be true.\"
  \"Why? Because Draklar says I\'m the one? He said that about everyone else, remember?\"
   \"Point taken...\" Karyuu shrugged.
 \"Good. So see, that\'s why I believe we shouldn\'t try to save him.\"
  \"We\'re going in, Uni\'o...\"
  \"No, we\'re not.\"
   \"No? Let me tell you what I believe. I believe Draklar means more to me than he does to you. I believe if you were really serious about saving Planeshift, you are going to need our help. And since I am now the highest ranked in this group, if you don\'t like it, I believe you can go to play Runescape. Because you aren\'t going to play anything else. Kwartz, load us up.\"

BOOM baby ;) To hell and back. I\'m dying with anticipation to see how you\'re going to handle the next scenes.

\"They lag to death. Hmm... Drey has a plan!\" Finished Drey.

I have no idea why, but Drey is suddenly reminding me of Betty from Kung Pow: Enter the Fist... :P Scary.

Chapter XI


 \"I\'d like to share a revelation during my time here.\" Continued Cad. \"It came to me when I tried to classify your kind. I realized that you\'re not actually players. Every player on this world instinctively develops his characteristics, to somehow finish the game, but you role-players do not. You move to a game and you try to convert other players into doing nothing but standing around and chatting. No one listens to you though and you, instead of actually \'playing\' the game, get discouraged and go away. The only way you can survive is to spread to another game. There is another type in the internet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A troll. Role-players come and go, they don\'t create a stable player-base. You are a plague, and we are the cure.\"

  \"Alright.\" Said Kwartz. \"Whatcha need, besides pants and three pairs of them clean socks?\"
  \"Arms.\" Answered Unitearica. \"Lots of arms.\"
    \"Loadin\' up.\"
 Suddenly Unitearica\'s model changed. Instead of just one pair, he had five pairs of arms.
    \"No, Kwartz! I mean the weapons!\"

 \"Hurry up, Uni\'o!\" Yelled Karyuu. \"What is taking you so long?\"
  \"I\'m looking for a 44 slash dark longsword... But this isle has only longswords up to 34 slash... Hmm... There\'s a 22 slash Short Longsword in here...\"
 \"Hmm... checked the isle 23?\"
 \"Yeah, only shortswords there.\"
   \"Ah! Now I remember! Draklar was taking some from isle 45!\"
   \"Let me check.\" Unitearica rushed towards the said isle, losing all the stamina on his way. After few minutes he was there. \"Hmm... Well there are 44 slash longswords here, but no dark ones...\"
   \"Is it really needed?\"
    \"Well I want to have a dark longsword...\"
 \"Bah...\" Karyuu rolled her eyes.
  \"Flaming, lightning, cold, rusty, leet, battle, fluffy, da... Ah! Found it!\"
  \"Great, we can go now.\"
   \"Not yet, I need to find a scorched battleaxe...\"
 \"...\"


 \"Why isn\'t our plan working?\" Asked Cad.
   \"Perhaps we\'re asking the wrong questions...\" Answered Tmed.
   \"Drey has a plan!\" Uttered Drey.
  \"Hmm?\" Cad turned to Drey. \"Ah, what the heck... It can\'t get any worse. Go ahead.\"
  \"Leave us alone now.\" Drey waited for others to leave the smithy. He approached Draklar and started peering at his face. He moved a bit closer... \"Drey!\"
   \"What the... Hast thou lost thy mind?\"
    \"Noes!\" Drey shook his head. \"Im goings to be proposing to you.\"
    \"Thou want\'st to marry me?\" Draklar cocked an eyebrow.
 \"Noes! Proposing some swords!\"
    \"What kind o\' swords?\"
 \"Like longsword of teh sex +4.\"
   \"Really?\"
 \"Noes, like 62 slash longswords or 78 slash broad swords.\"
    \"Hmm... Sound\'th good... But what dost thou want in return?\"
   \"Nothing...\"
  \"Wow! That be\'th most kind!\"
   \"Well, nothing, but also password to the secret forums area.\"
 \"I be afraid, I cannot accept that.\"
  \"Two swords.\"
 \"Hmm...\"


  Karyuu and Unitearica approached the temple. Out of a sudden a priest rushed out of the great building and turned in their direction. \"Welcome to the temple of Laanx! Please, make yourself comf--\" The priest fell down with a pencil stuck in his head. The two moved further into the temple. Once they got inside, all the characters looked at them. Before they would do anything, Unitearica started attack. One after another, the characters were falling down. Some tried to run in panic, others screamed the words of anger and leet. Unitearica rushed onto the stairs and put down a tower shield. He stepped onto it and pushed himself, thus sliding on it down the stairs. While doing so, he kept throwing axes at the screaming characters, in the end hitting the ground and landing on his jaw. Unitearica stood up and dusted himself off. He took a look around, only one person was still alive. He recognised him - it was Monk. Upon approaching him, he unsheathed his Dark Longsword and spoken. \"Sporks aren\'t implemented yet, punk!\" Said that he smashed the Ylian\'s head.
   \"Uhm, Uni\'o...\" Karyuu poked him.
  \"Hargh!\" He almost attacked Karyuu. \"Huh? What is it?\"
  \"I don\'t think those people have anything to do with our mission...\"
   \"...What?\"
    \"Yeah, we were supposed to glitch to the temple tower, after all...\"
  \"Oh, well...\" Unitearica took a look around. \"Let\'s go...\"

   
    \"What were you doing?\" Spoke Cad once he and Tmed got back to the smithy.
 Drey glanced at them while putting down yet another sword. There was over twenty of them, each of different type, lying all around the room.
    \"He doesn\'t know...\" Said Tmed.
    \"Know what?\" Asked Drey.
  \"Rebels are storming our units.\" The Kran continued. \"Somehow they found out we have spies in the temple... and wiped them out.\"
    \"Thems are smarter than we thought...\" Drey picked up the swords.
 \"Find them and ban them.\" Finished Cad.


   \"I repeat, we are under attack!\"
  Karyuu and Unitearica kept pushing characters down from the roof of the temple. Those who were pushed down, couldn\'t climb up fast enough to support all the others. Finally the last one was pushed down.
   \"Hey!\" Unitearica heard from the behind. He turned around - it was Game Master Drey.
  He attacked him with dual longswords, but Drey was too fast. He managed to dodge every single blow that Unitearica aimed at him. When Unitearica got tired, the Game Master counter-attacked with his daggers.
  \"Karyuu... Help!\" Unitearica managed to dodge most of the attacks, but finally some of them scratched him slightly.
   \"Only role-player.\" Said Drey and prepared for the final attack.
  \"Dodge this.\" Karyuu swinged her pencil at the Game Master.
   Drey dodged it. \"Heh...\"
  \"Ok, how about this?\" Suddenly Drey felt an awful pain in his groin. Karyuu moved her knee away and Drey fell to the ground.  \"How did you do that?\" Karyuu turned to Unitearica.
   \"Do what?\"
    \"You moved like they do. You power-leveled, didn\'t you?\"
   \"Just forget it, we have mission to do.\"
  \"Can you climb the tower?\"
    \"I can try.\"
  Once they got up onto the tower, Karyuu contacted the Kran. \"Kwartz, get us to the NPC Room. This should be a safe returning point.\"

  \"No...\" Said Cad once he noticed Karyuu and Unitearica who appeared on the map.
   Not waiting even one second, they started running away from the Game Masters. \"We must get them away from Draklar.\" Said Karyuu. \"Until he gets free from the rope.\"
    Draklar took one of the swords that Drey forgot to hide and cut the rope with it. \"Kwartz, get us out.\" He said.
  \"You goin\' back to the tavern... Just go to invisible room.\" Answered Kwartz. \"Bird and the guy, go to the second temple balcony.\" Just then all disappeared from the NPC Room.
  \"Damn it.\" Muttered Cad.
  \"The trace was completed.\" Said Tmed. \"We have their position and the birdies are standing by...\"
   \"Order the strike.\" Added Cad.
    \"Thems not out yet...\" Whispered Drey.


    \"Dost thou believe it now, Karyuu?\" The Enkidukai received a tell from Draklar.
   \"Less than before...\"
 \"Whate\'er... We shall meet back in the Crystal Blue.\"
  \"Gotcha.\"
 Draklar moved to the invisible room and soon logged out from the Planetrix. Soon after, Karyuu and Unitearica got onto the balcony. The Enkidukai quickly logged out, but before Unitearica could do the same, Drey teleported himself to his location.
 \"Mr. Unitearica...\" He spoken.
    Unitearica moved away a bit and glanced at the temple well. He then turned back to the Game Master.
 \"Run, guy. Run!\" Kwartz sent him a private message, but Unitearica wasn\'t moving. He only stared at the fierce Game Master.
    \"What is he doing?\" Asked Karyuu.
 Draklar glanced at the console. \"He be\'th beginning to believe...\"

[Karyuu]

*wild applause* :D How exciting!

[Lordbug]

[Draklar]

Chapter XII


    Unitearica and Drey started casting fireballs at each other. Explosions filled the whole balcony, but neither of them got hit. With high skill they dodged every blow, until the shooting stopped.
  \"You are out of mana.\" Said Drey.
 \"So are you...\"
   Drey equipped himself with dual daggers and started walking towards Unitearica, who decided to go with a Dark Longsword and a Scorched Battleaxe. They started swinging their weapons, which with each attack made an odd metallic sound. Drey scratched the Ylian few times and seemingly was taking the lead.
 \"Im goings to enjoy banning you, Mr. Unitearica.\" Drey started approaching him once again. Unitearica looked up to the Game Master and made another swings with his weapons. Drey wasn\'t prepared for that and after losing some hit points, had to move back. Unitearica wasn\'t stopping, he kept walking after the Game Master, sending powerful blows. But finally Drey blocked it and was about to counter-attack. He pushed the Ylian at the wall and in rapid speed kept punching him with his daggers. Once Unitearica was almost out of hit points, the Game Master threw him away. \"I wins.\" Spoke Drey. \"Now, do you hear that, Mr. Unitearica? That is the sound of Invetabelty... Invitablty*... sure thing*. That is the sound of me typing the ban command. o/ Mr. Unitearica.\"
   \"My name...\" Unitearica stood up. \"Is Uni\'o!\" Said that, he sent a loud battlecry and smashed Drey with his weapons. The Game Master fell to the ground, dead. Unitearica was about to log out, but Drey already respawned and teleported himself back to the balcony. Unitearica jumped down and rushed to the temple well, soon finding himself in the dungeons.
   \"What happened?\" Asked Karyuu.
    \"I dunno, the mushroom just started growin\' on the lemon...\" Kwartz shrugged.
  \"Kwartz... The console.\"
  \"Oh, umm... We lost him...\"
   \"The birdies be coming.\" Draklar approached them.
 \"Birdies?\" Karyuu lowered her ears. \"How long?\"
 \"Five, behaps six minutes. Get ready for jumping down.\"
   \"We have to wait until he\'s out...\"
    \"I know, Karyuu, worry not. He be\'th going to make it.\"
    \"Mr. Weirdo,\" Unitearica sent a private message to Kwartz. \"Get me the hell out of here!\"
   \"No prob. Head for the forbidden doorway.\"
    Unitearica got to the crossroad. \"Uh-oh... Help. Need a little help.\"
 \"Uhm... the way... to your left.\" Once Kwartz said that, Unitearica turned to the left path. \"No, the other left.\" He turned again. \"Or maybe was first left... Try the third left...\"
    \"Ahh, forget it.\" Unitearica took a random turn. After struggling with the corridors, he finally got to the forbidden doorway. He moved to the wall and started climbing it. After a while he was down on the platform. Unitearica crossed the door and walked down the stairs, quickly turning to right.
 \"o/\" Drey was already standing there, ready to ban the Ylian.
 \"Sorry. Unknown command (use /help).\"
 \"Hmm...\"
  \"Sorry. Unknown command (use /help).\"
 \"Sorry. Unknown command (use /help).\"
 \"Sorry. Unknown command (use /help).\"
 \"Sorry. Unknown command (use /help).\"
 \"You have banned \'unitearica@planetrix.it\' off of the server.\"
  \"\\o/\" Said Drey.
   \"Check him.\" Muttered Cad.
    Tmed checked the players online. \"He\'s gone.\"
  \"Goodbye, Mr. Unitearica.\"
    Drey teleported himself back to the other Game Masters. They were about to go away, when suddenly something unexpected happened. Unitearica appeared back on the platform. All the Game Masters started typing the ban command.
 \"No friggin\' way...\" Said Unitearica.
  \"\'Unitearica\' is not a valid player name.\" Received all the Game Masters.
   Unitearica glitched into wall, causing a serious lag and bugging the system. Drey, who stood the closest couldn\'t even move. After a while his character got deleted. The other Game Masters rushed away at once. Just then Unitearica logged out and returned to the Crystal Blue.
  \"Quick! Jump down!\" Uttered Draklar just before jumping off the bridge. Before the birdies came, the whole group was already gone.


    \"You must enter a petition question/description after \'/petition\'\"
  \"Hmm... Alright...\" Unitearica started typing the command once again. \"/petition I know you\'re out there. I can detect you now. I know that you\'re afraid. You\'re afraid of us. You\'re afraid of change. I don\'t know the future. I don\'t write this petition to tell you how this is going to end. I write it to tell you how it\'s going to begin. I\'m going to send this petition and then I\'m going to show these players what you don\'t want them to see. I\'m going to show them a game without fee, a game without tyranny and controls, without the word \'soon\' and endless waiting for updates, a game where anything is possible. Where we go from there... Is a choice... I leave to you...\"
