To leave or not to leave, that is the question
« on: February 25, 2007, 02:42:23 am »
Just recently I was informed that internally Yliakum is supposed to be a stable and peaceful land, without strifes and conflicts of any form, thus the realization comes that all the ideas I had for making a groupment of guilds may be out of the Settings, as a stable and internally peaceful land would never have space for the growth of progressive ideals. The same goes with most of my current characters.

Thus I need to know how far this "peacefulness" on Yliakum goes so I can properly decide whether I should or not continue here as all the ideas I have could be deemed as unsuitable for a highly stable land with uniformity of thought on its populace.

This is not another "I'm leaving" thread. I would rather stay, but if there's no space for such things, I don't see why should I waste my time creating something that goes against the Settings.

Lastly this came to me like a psychological bomb in the middle of the discussion about removing duels, I prefer to consider it as not a personal thing, but it's rather difficult, and it is another incentive to the choice of leaving if I decide to do it.

Lordraleigh: Bye-bye! Frankly I am tired of players threatening to leave. So if you're threatening to leave, just go and get it over with. Honestly. I don't really care :)

Although it's other matter that is the central point here, the 'peacefulness' of Hydlaa, and until which point it goes.

If that were true.

This wouldn't be here.

It's a peaceful land.  I believe that means that there is no outright war.  Guilds may battle, there may be a bit of crime and such.  But no town would attack another.
Also, the gouvernment is good enough so that there would be very few people opposing it.

That's my understanding.  Though, you barely mention anything about your groupment so I'm not exactly sure if it fits or not.

I told you that a long, long time ago.
I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(

You mistake the pressence of law as complete peace. Perhaps you mistake the right to fight as the right to kill. Perhaps you mistake that if you want to do 'evil' things, then there should be no recourse.

The fact is, the population is supposted to be relitivly at peace with each other. Does that mean there are not fights once in a while? Does it mean there are not killings? No and no. It means it does not happen most of the time.

I still have some serious doubts about it

An Octarch can't be removed, nevertheless in some cases the Octarch was assassinated because it was too cruel, inept, dishonest, etc... One of the most famous cases is the one of Fertedian Dalko, Octarch of the 4th level, that was tied to a hypnotized Megaras and sent straight towards the Crystal.

Hierarchical rules were always plagued by very brutal rulers. Just see Rome: Nero and Caligula were amongst the worse.

Unless PS is supposed to become tolkienesque on "government" settings instead of realistic

There is global peace, I'm pretty sure the current gouvernment is quite good ;)

Tolkienesque then, except that there isn't any "Mordor" here.

Also beggar characters should be removed then.

Why would beggars be removed.  That would be a communist gouvernment, not necessarily a good one.

Stone Labyrinth's does not symbolize industrialization :P
It isn't organized
It isn't all dark
It's just dangerous.

There is no such thing as global peace in a realistic world. Neither is there a "good" government. At least not for long. There is always conflict, bloodshed, and such. I rp all kinds of evils, without worry.
Also, the gouvernment is good enough so that there would be very few people opposing it.

Should I repeat that thing about Fertedian Dalko?

About what? Wow, wait... You didn't link to something in a post! That's like Datruth not signing his posts!

I love this.  We have groffles, magic, walking cats, lizard people and still consider it a realistic world? :P

By global peace I mean there is no organized, official war between two gouverning bodies.

Isn't there just one government body ?  :-\ Or did I just mess that up? What about a rising party? Nazi's came to power in Germany...whipped Europe, then had it bite them in the ass, etc.
