errr, are we talking about the same Ents? ;s

The tree-monsters from Lord of the Rings? Their slowness always bugged the crap outta me...

Heh. The team will add good new features. Part of the fun is finding out which... in game. But I wanted to take a minute and say that the new site looks really nice, Karyuu! Very professional.

There's a separate thread for sucking up to Karyuu, which can be found here ;D

Hardly could have stolen something that didn't exist at PlaneShift's beginning (I think you mean Klyros, not Nolthrir.)

*cough* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kzin  *cough*   :devil:

And this:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Known_Space#Stories_by_Niven_himself

Not that I'm objecting or anything, I lovesses my kitties.  So cute and cuddly..  :love:

Edit Edit, Not trying to imply anything either.  Seemly making a point that the idea of having a cat like race has been around for quite a long time, probably as long as people have known cats.  And over all this time, the concept has been used throughout many different novels, games, etc., because it appeals to people's interests.  I wouldn't call it stealing ideas, simply appealing to people's interests, is all.

Take into fact This game:  http://www.play.net/hj/
Screenshot if what I mean here: http://www.play.net/includes/volatile/screenshots/hj/hjsshot-89.jpg

Another example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chanur_Novels

And more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat-like_aliens

and so on and so forth.


And one little semi offtopic thing:  http://tracyjb.deviantart.com/

Tracy rocks!

If you ask me (and you didn't,) while we're getting off topic now, I would wager that the Khajiit are more likely based on the Katta from the Quest for Glory series. They feature very prominently in Quest For Glory III (released 1992) and then TES: Arena comes out in 1994.

Or it could be that people just like playing cats. I dunno. Does it mean we shouldn't be using enkidukai? No, clearly not.

Also, to call Nolthrir Argonians is a real stretch. Nolthrir are a race of elves, and Argonians are practically reptilian.

It's not sucking up if I mean what I say, and I am not trying to get anything. Make a site, emeraldfool, if it sucks I will tell you.
