[GUILD] One (Now fully formed)

Number one: I understand entirely what OOC and IC mean

Number two: Well, why didn't you say that you were only ignoring our ideology OOC in the first place? I am perfectly willing to make deals with you now. Our feud is over.

[Kangold D]

Lenin announces that the feud is over. (Stormy applause.)

[Lhaa]

All this comunism vs capitalist stuff is pure ridiculous BS. We don't really care about what your ideas are in RL and they are completely off-setting for PS.
So hey, if you're going to keep this up you may as well RP the mass murderers and the fall of capitalism nowadays.

I recommend you something though, add this to your servers.xml: <server name="Ezpcusa" ip="planeshift.ezpcusa.com" port="7777" />
Come to see me, I play All Bundy there. You may get a free new pair of shoes if you're good looking enough... XD

[Kangold D]

Anti-intellectualism has replaced religion as the opiate of the masses.

[Lhaa]

Pathetic.

[Parallo]

Its like Lordraleigh fell on his head and decided to come back to ps.

Sometimes intellectualism is subjective.  For instance, I think Ayn Rand was a complete idiot.  I think people only praised her because she attempted to justify the notion that it is okay to be self-serving, even writing "The Virtue of Selfishness".  And while we're firmly entrenched off-topic here, I think wholesale socialism has never worked, and lacks incentives, but wholesale selfishness like Rand preaches is also wrong.  I don't want go get into specific examples of specific governments or parties too much, but I think the overall basic concept of the US has it mostly right where capitalism is tempered with socialism.

Either way, I don't understand all this bickering OOC.  If fictional characters disagree on idealogies in game, then take that discussion in game and have a rewarding debate in Yliakum.  As for whether or not it should be acceptable to discuss a vague concept that borders on socialism, I think you'll find debate over political ideals extends past our entire written history.  Read Plato's "The Republic", which you can read online for free, which oddly enough does not describe a republic.

People shouldn't discuss Marx specifically because he doesn't exist in Yliakum, but a concept of social distribution of wealth should be acceptable in my opinion.

But what do I know?

[Bamko]

While I may disagree (or maynot,  ) with your first paragraph Enderandrew, I agree with the rest of what you said.

Someone wants to talk about the concepts behind a general priniciple ingame?  as long as within settings, thats cool.  Wait, you expect me to sit around and engage you in RP about it?  Sure!

</me rolls his eyes as he walks away muttering "heh... I wouldnt listen to that blathering with YOUR ears"  >

what?  that would be IC for Bamko! 

now, if they were mentioning marx, (karl OR harpo) by name.. that would be different.  But we should not OOC demand that everyone RPs the way we want, IMO.  Yliakum should probably have its own diversity anyway. 

but, meh, that is just my opinion, eh?   

[Kangold D]

enderandrew, Bamko, well said.  I'm even going to issue you both a eventhough it's an ancient Roman gesture frequently used in their Flavian Amphitheatre or Colosseum. 

[verden]

Makes the whole notion of escapism null and void, doesn't it?

Yes.

Like it or not Verden, RL penetrates every thought we have.

There are guidelines to what is acceptable in Yliakum or on the forums. Like it or not, certain concepts only detract from Planeshift, and are begging for moderation in game or on the forums. The proof is in this thread.

What a bit of joking around that an Equality driven guild seems similar to communism?

The guild itself is a cool idea (I don't know if it will last, but a cool idea to test out). Just because someone labelled them communist and the members now take the mickey out of the assumed connection does not make it require deletion.

Nothing wrong with some fun and banter. Don't take it all so seriously, relax and laugh at the humour.

[tom206]

i know Shadowcarn Acolyte/ rodef in real life and in no way is he being funny, hes totally serious, but i will go have a talk to him.

[Akkaido Kivikar]

it's not him who is being funny on this thread, and making ties to Communism, its Kangold D, lol.

The humour comes from the association, my friend. They wouldn't be half as funny without us making fun of them.
