Imperial Ground ? - What the heck .....

[Idoru]

Idoru: if that bit was already resolved, there is no further argument to make here. Once such actions are conceded as a wrong-doing and corrected, we can move on and discuss something more stimulating, and perhaps even useful.

Very true, I was just bored at work. I appologise for promoting 'healthy discussion'

Good that you used quotes, for it's been anything but

[Narure]

Godmodding would be controling other player actions, NPC actions or altering the settings for your own good.

Neither of these three are valid here since no other players are being controlled, no NPC's are involved and the settings say nothing about the little piece of ground the Empire rents. The only one that could possibly change would be the last .. and as soon as the settings dictate that that piece of ground belongs to someone else the Empire is out of there.

Until then you have no point whatsoever if you ask me.
 

If its a house in the hydlaa it is fairer to assume someone else owns it than it is land free to rent. If it was outside the city walls i would see no problem with any of this but as it is your last point about altering the settings stands because it is obviously someones residence that you havent paid for and have no right over. I also would not have a problem with this if you wernt claiming it is legal. Just because "thats the way its always been" doesnt make it right.

Are your RPs collapsing around you and is your world in shambles?

Incidently no. Or possibly yes, as i talked to a GM about it and was told all i can do is not accept the RP if i disagree with it, because of the nature of the empire it means not RPing with many of my friends and many others I havent even met yet.

[Karyuu]

Then you are making a poor decision, one that will not earn you any respect nor sympathy from others. It is ultimately your (utterly ridiculous) loss if you choose to not RP with people in the DE because they are renting an unused building.

Sometimes the sheer silly just makes me want to bap you people until it falls out of your ears and goes somewhere else.

[Narure]

I didnt say that was what i was going to do. It just gets on my wick when I see these people telling poeple that such and such a thing is godmodding becuase it isnt specified in the settings. Everyone should play by the same rules. I felt protest is needed. But I do feel rather silly for getting so involved with something that hasnt affected me, in a computer game.

You know, if I were to rate the silliest arguments (made by good players! - that's the sad part) I have seen on the boards, the this very thread would make it to no. 1 and the Smillies one no. 2.

Absolutely pointless. 

[ThomPhoenix]

You know Narure, that's just a silly argument. It's not specified in the settings, so what?
Of course the settings should be followed as much as possible and realism should always be used, but where does the settings say that you *can't rent buildings*. Obviously there's no way of knowing if that building is actually rentable or not or if someone is actually living there, but that doesn't matter because that's not implemented yet! It's like avoiding the road to the Bronze Doors because in the future more monsters can roam around there. You're making totally uncertain things interfere with your play and you're saying it's the settings.

[Narure]

The amount the word silly is being used has made the word become meaningless, I hate it when that happens. But yeah one has to see the funny side.  But yes I resign from the "silliness" as it is dubed and accept that it is mostly my fault. (I just felt it was a long time since i saw that smily used.)

no hard feelings ?

*eidit* i didnt say buildings couldnt be rented, peace out

[drah]

As you guys were complaining about people threatening murder against others for inane reasons recently in other threads...I'm guessing some people feel the issue is somewhat to do with hypocrisy.

Though that could just be misinterpretation on my part.

[Ralleyon]

 

Ooooh, new flamebait!

PS  Seriously now, I would like to see this thread closed, dead, and buried deep within the bowels of the forum. *grabs a shovel*

[Fozzharn]

well, you see me somewhat surprised what this thread has come to.

I know, it was also my fault by saying some things that better had not been said, but I was somewhat shocked about what happened to me and I wondered how a Newbie had reacted by beeing told "go away or die" ...

After reading back my very first post it shows up, that my questions and the things I was wondering about have been answered for less than 20% in this thread.

There were further 50 % answered to me by PM and I nearly understood what happened there ... and I think it's clear now ...

But the reason why I wrote in the forums was to find an answer to that issue ... and I meant an answer not only for me, but for the public ... so it's a bit unfortunately that it was answered by PM.....

But okay ... thanks for answering at all

*Fozzy ducks and vanishes beeing aware of having opened the "stupiest thread of the week"

[drah]

Like I said...

The whole thing could have been dealt with in-game anyway.

[Suno_Regin]

You've gotta be kidding me...5 pages already? I'm not reading all this. Can anyone give a summary as to why this simple topic reached 5 pages this fast?

[Karyuu]

No. You know why? Because every time a topic reaches several pages in length, your first comment is something akin to "TLDR," and that's useless If you don't want to take the time to skim through the posts, you probably aren't going to add anything anyway.

[Idoru]

@Suno_Regin, I really wouldnt bother reading it if I was you. It wasnt that interesting as it happened to be honest.
