Jumping is Celestian sport. I have never jumped once. I attacked Weylin, gave an axe to his left leg and let him be, then I killed him in a duel, deffed up and everything. You know, there's a little thing called honour and last time I remember, it is an important value of the Paladins and should be a value of everyone in Celest. Jumping someone does not have honor, even if it's an utter criminal or an utter idiot. But I guess it's something that's fading in order to "kill the enemies of Celest".

There. I've said it. Want to kill someone? Duel him. Jumping should be for griefers or if you are in a raid.

Well I don't know if this is still considered 'honour' to them, a Paladin jumped me 3 times at the cost of his death and the death of his friend, then after a few days, he began to spread lies about me jumping him 5 times with a large group.

So much for 'Paladin's' honour.

Turgeis was in the Paladins, wasn't he? I'm sure you can think of a few people who aren't so bad - it was probably just a select group of people or individuals, though that does really suck. sad.gif

Bandeon's nice. Tervic is THE Paladin. I think there may be new blood, but apart from that I can't remember people who are nice.

Corinthian is saying that Tervic is the anti-bad.

Hraddon has been in-groups where he has jumped single people. Turgeis has done the same in his time. There are also people from Magnagora that target weak players, avoiding the people who could actually fight back. What I am saying is that most sides have their people that do it. This idea that only one side is jumping people is disingenuous at best.

Once Tervic leaves that psycho high on sugar mentality and change to human, he'll be a kick ass Paladin.
Unknown2006-09-29 04:02:32
Tervic and Bandeon where good, especially Vanthan and Jigan. The rest... don't know, either they don't want to talk to me or he's like that other guy who are extremists.

I think during Bandeon's rule as a Paladin, he was good, probably the best there is.

Well, Celest needs to bugger off. Too many raids today. doh.gif

Yes, Celest does need to tone it down. Doing it too much will push people away from the conflict all together. Yes there is a war, but sometimes people have to take OOC considerations into the mix and just layoff people for a bit.

Yep, I fully agree with you there.

Silence does mean acceptance or indifference. If people are willing to stand up and complain about one organization doing it, but remain silent while the other does the same thing then they are displaying a bit of favoritism. So until people are willing to complain about a problem even when their own allies do it, I will continue to see them as being biased and question why they are only speaking up when their opponents perform the distasteful acts.


No, silence still does not mean acceptance. Continuing to question people's motives isn't bad at all but it'd be nice if you believed someone when they explain theirs once in a while. The reason why anyone's talking about Celest particularly this time is because of the posts by Talkan and Sarrasri. Had it been someone talking about the Sea of Despair you bet I'd say something about that too. What I won't do however, is become so bent on the issue that I rant and rave about it everytime it comes up. Does that mean I accept it or that I'm not a recording?

Also, when the interests you have in an area have a direct effect on the well being of your organization, then plenty times it is an intelligent move to annex the area if those in it can't protect your interests for you. Your own commune does it in Faethorn. Your commune has interests there, and you go and defend it when others enter the area that you feel may harm your interests there.


Again, there's a difference between annexing territory and defending interests within a territory. I'm just sad Auseklis isn't around to zap anyone that thinks they've annexed anywhere.

I did not jump anyone as Hraddon, if you consider defending enemy territory as jumping (people who kills Ur'guards for one) then think of it that way, I'm not the one who jumps whenever they are in neutral ground like the aetherplex or the Manse city of Deepnight closedeyes.gif

No, but you could have spoken up once before. You could have spoke up when your own commune was constantly attacking Glom citizens that were in Faethorn. You did none of that. So yes, I am not inclined to believe something when the history shows me something different.

You are trying to use semantics to differentiate what your own commune does in Faethorn and what Celest does on the Inner Sea. Like I have written before, I do not remember you ever standing up and stating that the Serenwilde should not seek to Annex Faethorn. I do consider a demesne that covers all of Faethorn as Annexing it. So what you guys do in Faethorn is not any different than what Celest does in the Inner Sea.

I hate how when I hold a quiz, I always wind up with one Spout who gets all the answers. It makes me feel bad for the others and almost guilty for holding a quiz cause they're losing so badly. sad.gif


I love when random people in the guild donate prizes without being asked for it, to go to quiz winners. That's so awesome! biggrin.gif

Tip: Have them answer in tells, not on GNT. That way each novice can get credit for answering the same question.

I don't think the point of whether the Kelpies like it or not is important. I do have another question though. Why is it fine that Magnagora can annex the Sea of Despair, yet Celest should not be able to annex the Inner Sea? Each of us has interests in the respective areas we have annexed. Why is it ok for one organization, but not ok for the other?


Because the Sea of Despair only has one sentient creature in it, Emperor Ladantine, whereas the Inner Sea is home to a whole community of kelpies? Because Magnagora teaches brutal dominance and harshness whereas Celest teaches honour and virtue? It's not like claiming an area 'belongs' to you changes anything; Celest could just as easily say, "The Inner Sea belong to no one, or to the kelpies, but we defend it because it's the right thing to do". Fits your RP and doesn't alter the way you play the game at all, because you're still defending them. Everyone wins.

Or you could go the, "We're right and everyone is wrong, rahrah light" path and claim it, whatever. Just don't make up a story about how the Kelpies love being owned by you.

*blush* I'm that one lil' person..Well..I tend to get the most answers correct maybe not all of them but most. Only had one or two quizes that I managed to get all of 'em.
