Dark empire discussion

[Nurahk]

My style?

I don't know.  Vexonee might

[Zan]

Problem with a game like this is that there is no winning or defeating in wars. People die, people go through the death realm and people pop back up to carry on fighting. Nothing to be conquered, nothing to be won or lost ... just endless fighting until one side gets tired of it. If you consider getting tired of the fighting being defeated ... well I guess I can't change that but I find it a pretty lame definition of the concept. That way wars are reduced to whoever has the most time and likes repetetiveness.

I think the Empire, especially Nurahk, is just tired of the repetetiveness of a threat that cannot truly be defeated. Even should the players adhere to roleplaying rules and give up fighting once defeated .. I've known situations where they'd go as far as creating a new character to start fighting the same enemy all over again.

And Sun Tzu is the only style that matters

but for me this "promotion" and defensive discourse is getting as or perhaps more repetitive than the accusations people make about the DE. So lets leave at that and depart to other areas of interest.

That is both subjective and seemingly unfounded.

I don't use swords to fight back against those who attacked me with words.

Wait. Does the Dark Empire do that? As far as I know all our armed actions have been against armed aggression and affirmed opposition (like recruitment of forces with the intent of overthrowing the Empire).

You also fail to give credit to the fact that we've lasted 5 years. That's an impressive, unique feat and it certainly only adds to a positive judgment. It's hardly right to use it as an excuse of why we are superior.

You can find people that up until now have been quite adversed to our quiet way of dealing with the Empire's security. Some people want us fierce. Others want us peaceful. We're smarter than both and choose to be away from extremes.


EDIT: Taking advantage of this topic, I'd also like to announce that the Empire will be suffering some subtle, but important, changes in the future. Things which haven't (but should have) been discussed here like Diplomacy and Internal Politics will be made clearer, as well as some other modifications that shall assure an easier access and understanding of how the Empire works. I'll tag these changes with the Soon (TM).

Due to immense boredom with the whole affair, I've decided to drop the oath swearing plan.

As Sangwa mentioned the Empire will be suffering more changes (As...always ).  And, those that threaten the Empire have quieted down.

Hopefully, with the Empire drawing back from this those on the opposing side will follow suit.
There have been organized groups of people, I know that.  The next one that pops up will be dealt with reasonably at first, but harshly soon after.

Thank you, I hope that the Empire's name stops appearing in every second thread now
And, for those who weren't concerned with this whole event, sorry for the confusion and test of patience.
