I wasn't being sarcastic at all.

And I don't see an example. To have an actual fight, one must be able to control the government. Unfortunately that's the GM's jobs and a player would be godmodding if he or she did that.

Raa, that is what settings are for. You have a pretty good idea how the government would react based the kinds of laws written and information gathered from quests and library books. Technically the octarch lives in Hydlaa and you can visit him so there is some government now.  :D

Yeah, I noticed, that's why I imeddiately edited the post after I posted it. lol, my bad.

Alright, I'll restate my example then (except this time, I think I'll be more detailed). In a role playing world, you usually have some kind of government in order to preserve the realism in the game (even though Anarchy works too, people tend to move towards an established government of some kind). Therefore, you would obviously have people whom either agree or disagree with the rule of said government. Therefore, in a rebellion (which is litterally an attack by anti-government force on the government) it would be logical that some form of pro-government force would aid the government in crushing a rebellion. Seeing as how in this world, rebels are seen as a cliche form of evil, there would be many real people willing to protect the fake government. Not that anything concerning the game world is real if you really want to be technical about it. :)

haha, i sure dont :devil:

But, you make a good point here, Prolix:

You want a rebellion? Join a large guild and try to take it over. Just make sure you clear it with the leader so that you do not get kicked out before you even start. Clearly rebelling against the Octarchy is pointless unless you first make allowance for someone to defend it. Take over the big guild and find another big guild to take the side of the government and bob's your uncle.

Why does the team seem so pro-order?

Another thing to consider:  How do you become part of the government?  For example, part of the military?  A coup d’état, anyone?

To enlist in the military, i would guess you go to a high enough ranking officer and he signs you in. As far as being a politician...im sure there are many ways... ;)

Welcome to planeshift.
* Xillix Queen of Fools sends the Octarchal guards to kill the newbie.

j/k

there have been many radical rps.

Utms uncommon cold.

My horrid attempt at declaring myself Octarch of the first level.

A small sect that decided all dwarves were to be killed.

Izabella's attempt to take over the gugrontid.

All of these and others worked with varying degrees of success.  Also most of them caused absolute eruptions in the player community.

You take a good approach by asking about it before doing it.

use the forum to find some "radical rps." Do your research and see if you can avoid some of the pitfalls.

They're coming to take me away. He he. They're coming to take me away. Ho ho, ha ha. To the funny farm...

Was that the incident with that whole road block or something that really ticked off a few people?

I learned it the hard way. ;)

I hope I managed to cover them in this idea I'm throwing around. Only time will tell.  ;D

I am sure there is over 100 pages of reading here on the forum concerning this and I highly suggest you do that reading.

Now this is much appreciated.  :D

I spent all day yesterday searching for "Revolution" and "Rebellion''....

Anyway, this is the kind of stuff I need. Thank you!  :)
