[Guild] Imperial Guard

[Raleigh]

This discussion and fighting won't solve anything. The problem is much larger than one can expect.

To ask whether teenagers are getting “addicted” to online games is a way of not asking why our schools are failing to engage our children. To ask why some people get “addicted” to their fantasy personas is a way of not asking how we expect people to derive life satisfaction from working at Wal-Mart.

- I really liked this phrase, it says it all.

Creating labels such as “online gaming addiction” gives us the illusion that we’ve identified a new problem in our society instead of talking about the real and chronic problems in the world we live in.

If Real World wasn't so full of crap, people wouldn't go into escapism to forget their problems.

Give him a break, Nurahk.
This place isn't one to have your frustration let out, nor have you any right to fuel the fire considering for the time being you have absolutely no position in the Empire.

[Raleigh]

After all the offtopicness, and before the inaction leads to a full-fledged flame, I will ask a question about it:

Is there any thinking about adapting some few elements from the notorious U.S. Secret Service to this guild?

As long as there aren't imperialists dressed like Agent Smith of course!

That's not true at all Draklar.

Keep yourself up to date, I'm still Shadowlord.

And I've no idea, Raleigh, not my guild

If Hwnae gets approved for leading the Imperial Guard, Hwnae will solve this issue in-game and in-character (as it should be).

[Nurahk]

It's up to Sangwa at this point.  And, I'm beginning to worry that this has become an OOC problem for Ecuetas.

But, I agree, not the place.

@Raleigh - Based on reading the link you provided all I can say is....no comment.     *said in an amused tone*

On a more serious note, I agree this is not the place to respond to certain aspects of this thread that should be dealt with IC.  Anyone who wishes to continue this topic with me can find me in game.

[Hwnae]

The Imperial Guard is now fully established in Yliakum, as well as undergoing some structural changes that focus on the advancement, both in rank and class, a system of monthly wages and a law system to fill the Imperial Guard duties in a bit better.

Any who think they would be suited for a job that requires dedication, obedience and teamwork are most welcome to join the Imperial Guard. You'll be learning policing skills as well as military tactics and your tasks will range from patrol and guard duty, hunting down and apprehending criminals to fighting in the front lines of all out war. The Dark Empire provides a solid base in all aspects of Yliakum life and a monthly wage system to pay for at least a portion of your training will come in effect soon.

For those who are interested there are three books from the Imperial library that would be worth reading about the subject:

- The Way of Steel

- Imperial Guard Structure

- Book of Imperial Law

Anyone is welcome to borrow those books and read them through.

( P.S: Before anyone starts whining about the Empire forcing their laws upon anyone and people start panicking even more ... the laws inside the Book of Imperial Law only count for those inside the Dark Empire and those who choose to roleplay with the Dark Empire. We're not going to wander around Hydlaa arresting every 'criminal' we see and interfering in RPs .. only people who roleplay with the Dark Empire are subjected to our laws and can be pestered by our Guard. If you do not want to get involved with our player-run law system, you don't have to. However we won't be accepting attacks against the Dark Empire or their members and then wanting to be above our law. If you harm the Empire it's only fair that you automatically fall under their law system and are considered a criminal by them unless proven otherwise by an Imperial jury. )

What has once been forgotten will return...
The time for what was once good shall rise again!
Sword, Shield, The Righteous meet no bounds!
The time for clensing is near...I can feel it searing through my veins!

Your ranks will fall!

The time for more Imperial P.R. has come again *yawns*

Anyway, if this isn't just a bluff, it's good news, things are pretty boring right now with the semi-utopia Yliakum has become lately.

[DepthBlade]

"My life has been forged by war and tragedy, my scars hold meaning that words cannot describe. Thy voice is stronger then any sword my enemy wields..I am DepthBlade a Ynnwn of Yliakum born battle ready, I shall fight "Evil" to the ends of time through death and resurrection...my history is one that shall be remebered through generations to come. These days now are my tales...observe closely.."

This is no bluff there has never been a bluff only a quest and that is simple for anyone under the banners of darkness
"Your Death is my Quest!" ((Gone for many a year due to personal family problems, but I have returned))

[Raleigh]

In other words, you will hunt mercilessly any organization that has "Dark" or "Darkness" on its name?

[Nurahk]

...

On one hand:  Hey Depthblade.  How ya been?

On the other:  Considering you're around the dozenth person who has sworn to kill the Empire for absolutely no reason.  You may want to rethink your goals.
I'm personally getting quite annoyed with it.  If it goes on much longer I'll probably just leave PlaneShift, it's not enjoyable, it's not sensible.  It's dumb.
And, considering OOC reasons for it are everywhere but IC reasons are completely lacking, it's terrible RP.

[Hwnae]

Hwnae walks in cursing and grumbling after hearing of this message

"Alright you warmongering fool .. I've had enough of your kind, claiming to be great heroes of the light while they do nothing but starting fights with people minding their own business. Now I'll do Yliakum a favour and rid itself of this conflict."

The Captain steps up to the warmonger and looks him in the eye

"You're a shame to our entire race but ... name the time and place and we'll work this out. Just you and me .. you want to be remembered forever, well here's your chance of slaying an Imperial who you've never even met. If you die I'll show you the respect you deserve for your heroic act, none and leave your broken bones rotting in the wild."

Hwnae steps back and turns away ".. who gives birth to these idiots?"

(Disclaimer: in character post, do not be insulted by Hwnae's harsh reaction and aggressive attitude to characters who blindly call him evil without ever bothering to get to know him )

[Draklar]

And, considering OOC reasons for it are everywhere but IC reasons are completely lacking, it's terrible RP.

I always thought DepthBlade was a hero wannabe nutcase that would call out a person just for holding a kitchen knife and suspiciously cutting his loaf of bread... in character.

I'm personally getting quite annoyed with it.  If it goes on much longer I'll probably just leave PlaneShift, it's not enjoyable, it's not sensible.  It's dumb.

OR you can treat this situation as a redemption, because that's exactly what you and your Cabali kin made many people feel like in the past ;)

Anyway, heya Depthy o/
