[ORGANISATION] The Starfish Alliance
« on: January 26, 2010, 09:03:53 pm »
One night, there was a terrible storm and all the starfish were washed up onto the shore. The following morning, an old Stonebreaker walked along the beach, picking up starfish and throwing them back into the sea, because starfish die if they are not immersed in water. A young Diabolia jogged past. "Old Dwarf, why are you casting starfish into the ocean?" asked the Diaboli. "There must be thousands of starfish, if not millions along the beach! What you're doing won't matter!" The Stonebreaker smiled, picked up another starfish, and hurled it back into the water. "It mattered to that one."

Corruption is spreading throughout Yliakum. The guilds are crumbling, violence is increasing in the streets and even a pregnant woman cannot roam the streets without being attacked. It is time that we, the people of Yliakum, stood together against the darkness, proclaiming "No more!"

To this end we have founded the Starfish Alliance, an organisation dedicated to fighting corruption in Yliakum. Current member guilds are Bounty Hunters, Legend Warriors, Enlightened Path and the One. Contact Rodef Emet if you or your guild wishes to join.

Sincerely,
Rodef Emet

Is it just me or is this alot like:

http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=36065.0

Also, note that corruption is not rife, the guilds are not crumbling, and things are better IC and OOC now than before 0.5... only the dedicated RP crowd really stuck around. (a few exceptions)

I admit the bad guy guilds are probably more commonly around at the moment, but 'corruption'?

Akkaido, it's just you. The Starfish Alliance is completely different to your Alliance of Enkidukai. As for the fact that you don't notice the corruption, that is a matter of opinion. It seems that a number of other guilds agree with me, though.

Starfish? Sea?? don't need to say any more.

There is a great lake at the bottom of Yliakum. One of the definitions of Sea is a large lake or body of water. Also, there are coral, why shouldn't there be starfish? Remember, the first law of roleplay is to say yes.

As Weltall says more of a puddle than a Lake let alone a sea. Remember the first law of roleplay is stay within settings

starfhishes can live in tidepools, so a large puddle would be even better to them, but ya, a starfish isnt really a ps animal, so it might not be the best, fit

thats true, even if more animals cant be implemented yet, there should at leat be a lot more that people can know about, i just got done hearing about how there are thousonds of species in one ecosystem alone 15 throughout all the playable areas...not workin to well
we should make a post dedicated to thinking up new animals :D

Its not an ecosystem, its a video game. If they were to perfectly simulate an ecosystem they would have to create the whole planet from scratch. I guess we should just be thankful that this wasn't called The Dragon Alliance.

they wouldnt have to start the game from scratch at all, the area could be the same, im just sayin it need more types of animals, inthe same places, not just some of the same species here and there
