[Guild] Paladins of Destiny

[Donari Tyndale]

Or maybe no skill levels at all in order to promote roleplay?

[Parallo]

Would a scrawny weakling join a knightly order and rise through its ranks? Sometimes you are perfectly sensible and sometimes you are far broad of the mark.

Donari, it has been stated that Roleplay is not the SOLE purpose of PlaneShift. You do not even play anymore, you have admitted that you dislike the game. I don't know why you even bother to be on the forums giving advice to players.

Parallo, Everyone starts off as a scrawny (or sometimes pudgy) weakling, and through training can become warriors. 'Rookie' is sorta like the 'boot camp' in a way. Except that some people get to skip that part. It is merely to get you in shape for the main group. The skill levels show that you understand the training system, PP, can earn the money for said levels. At least, this is -my- understanding of the reasons. Then again I could be totally wrong *shrug*

Admittedly I only skimmed the post and I assumed it was reaching at least 100.

Gaining a smaller number of stats (say, 30-50?) on top of the original "base" stats (will, int, str, etc) and perhaps 2-5 on top of other skills like combat wouldn't be quite so bad for people that split their time between roleplay and levelling. One important thing to keep in mind is that people do have lives outside of PS and don't have all the time in the world to do both _{(says the girl that has no life XD)}.

And Donari...why so dead-set against levelling at all? Stats can (and in my opinion, should,) be used to back up one's roleplay.

[Joale]

Yeah, yoour right, 100 isn't right, 300 is more like it, just kiddin, yeah, I think 50 would be appropriate, and completing tasks on top of that should be easy enough for the first rank

Um-hm. Quite correct, but in a guild based around brandishing weapons in the name of some supposed cause such scrawny and pudgy weaklings don't rise through the ranks.

Paladins need squires.

[Joale]

Yes, you got it right, that is how you interpret it, but, hehe, just stop posting all together. not that i didn't see this coming, but you do this in all the guild forums, and it has come to the point where people don't even take your advise seriously, I mean, if I were one of those people, I bet a would never be through insulting 'Dark Empire' for copyin a movie. So, if you could all be so kindly as to... whats a nice considerate word, shutup? It is really pathetic. [But, guys that are being reasonable about it, and pointing out the flaws in a nice way, I appreciate your doing so, and am making slight changes to improve on your words, but people like Donari and Parallo really need to step back and look at themselves, one is talkin bad about my guild when he copied from a movie, which still doesn't even fit the game as it is, and the other doesn't even play the game, yet, thinks she still has the right to insult stuff] Ahh, now that that is out of my systom, I'm done here.

[Farren Kutter]

I believe Parallo was trying to help... I suppose he may have come off offensively...?

[Donari Tyndale]

Joale, I must say you are quite fun. Do you know what roleplay means? This game is about "roleplay", and we're trying to help you so your guild actually promotes roleplay instead of grinding.

[Joale]

The game is not JUST a Rp game, or they wouldn't have made stats, and you are the only one trying to convince me of this.

There are RP guilds, and there are not RP guilds, and like I said, you don't even play anymore? Why should you get a say at all again?

Because Donari was one of the best. He taught me so much with such a kind heart and he was my friend. I will miss him greatly. Tonight I am deeply saddened. You do not know what you missed.

[Parallo]

Not doing yourselves any favours here, hm? I was trying to be nice. I was totally from the same standpoint that the original post seemed to suggest. I was, so far as I could tell, on your side. but now you have made my disapproval overcome my disapproval of Donari. Your guild is useless. A metaphysical outlook on life vaguely and badly defined and you expect characters to give their lives for it. A typical tit-for-tat/maintain the balance/preserve the equilibrium of life (whatever you wish to call it) guild, and you think you deserve a badge of originality over the Dark Empire? Seriously, had you any idea what you were talking about you wouldn't say such things. If you really wish, I can begin corrospondance in pm to explain the history and origin of the Dark Empire to you. Just drop me a line and I'll explain how it isn't just ripped out of a film and maybe then you can do the same for me, hm?

[Farren Kutter]

Parallo, no reason to get offended, I think he simply misunderstood the point of your posts and thought that you, like Donari, were against the use of 'training' as a part of the guild's ranking system.

[Joale]

Look, I thought I saw it say I was a weakingling or something, and with all the crap I've seen on the forums I guess I saw what I thought I would see, but we DO have a purpouse, unlike the Warriors who just vow that they will do whatever they want, like a bunch of guilds, but they turned out fine. And as I could have sworn I said, that was just an outline, now that we made the guild, and got quite a bit of members, things are bound to change a little, but if your done bashing on my guild I'm done bashing on yours.
