  1. [quote name='Sharpwind' timestamp='1291051430' post='73701'] So what you're saying is to have the option when becomming a rebel of following another rebels ideals (from a list of independant rebels in the land) or be an independant rebel yourself and so every independant rebel would have a list of followers and if a rebel has a very big number of followers, in respest to the citizens of the land, that would be a good indicator for changing leadership of the country If I have understand your idea correctly I find it quite interesting [/quote] Yep, that's about it. Having this page also allows for the general public to make more educated decisions, because they could read what each candidate thinks they could do better.
  2. If someone were to ask the general public this same question (probably with some re-wording like glorified/purposeful death instead of worthy, mundane life instead of meaningless life), most people would most likely answer no, and because of that I am tempted to say yes, but it really depends on the circumstances. For example, if I'm 80, I would probably say that I would've rather had a worthy death earlier, but if I'm 20 and taking life as it comes, I would probably want a longer life. In any case, there really is no way to guarantee a completely meaningless life. Even dudes that live alone in the mountains have purpose, even if it's just surviving for tomorrow. When he dies, will anyone notice he's gone? Probably not. Yet, he still had purpose, and purpose is something that many people have trouble finding. To conclude, my answer is basically neither (or both...whatever)
  3. 1 - Become more patient Yes - Just needs some focus No - I'm horrible at focus Why - I've grown impatient with my impatience 2 - Solve my Rubik's Cube in under 30 seconds (consistently) Yes - Need to memorize more OLL/PLL and work on look-ahead (in other words; last layer technique and prediction of what comes next, overall doesn't take too much effort) No - When I solve currently, I either use a different method for fun, or solve without thinking (see pattern -> execute moves) rather than working on look-ahead (see pattern -> execute moves while watching for what to do next) Why - Personal goal I guess, I doubt I'd enter any tournaments or anything 3 - Read more Yes - I've read less and less, I miss it really No - Distracted by other things, also don't have any super good books Why - Intellectual challenge in some cases, or simply good writing in most.
  4. Tired of people using proxies to solve their own arguments.

  5. I dislike the percentage idea, it does not accurately represent differing opinions and such within a group of people. The only thing I can think of at this time would be for rebels to choose a candidate for kingship that they support upon becoming a rebel; if every new rebel chooses themself, nothing happens, because all rebels need to accept their candidate's rules, direction, etc. Of course, that does still make it possible for generalization of the many opinions, but Iunno.
  6. Happy Thanksgiving, crazy Americans.

  7. Awiiya is allowed to be angry, but would he like you arguing in his name? All you have mentioned in your attacks so far is Awiiya's feelings on the matter. On a somewhat related note, since when was Awiiya so important that when he's angry, the one he's angry at is automatically a bad person (or rather, bad king in this case)? Thinking about it, if Awiiya can't forgive Jester for such a thing, then how can you value his moral opinion over anyone else's? The worst part about this whole thing? Jester took Awiiya back in 5-10 minutes or whatever. It wasn't Mur, and it surely wasn't you two. Awiiya's angry about a 5 minute visit to Necrovion? Then perhaps he takes himself a little seriously, because according to you two, he's absolutely furious over this small thing that will most likely be forgotten in a couple weeks or so. As a note, the above is nothing against Awiiya, simply the way Curiose and Kyphis represent him.
  8. The award should be judged on how well the people in question help people, not their position or reason for doing so. As well, if anyone is "bursting out", it's you, Sparr. Grido is quite polite in his post.
  9. [quote name='Chewett' timestamp='1290667827' post='73151'] Im sure that if something indeed reaches a critical mass, the council or mur will step in and prod something into happening. Either that be an election, or some other method of dethronement/punishment for the rebels for a failed rebellion [/quote] How can you judge whether a rebellion has succeeded or not? For example, not all of the Necrovion rebels simply want Jester dethroned. Anyways, isn't the point of the rebel system to make citizens able to do something WITHOUT Mur's help?
  10. Newer players may use IE and have no idea what's up But yeah, IE isn't great, just sayin'
  11. KC has power over gates open/closed state, and you, phantasm, haven't done much to stop him. You didn't call him out on this bit, for example: Knator Commander: I can keep the gate closed only for a limited time, maybe a week, if i don't manage to finish the mission, it will be impossible with the gates open Not have you acted upon this, as far as I know: Knator Commander: If you do not force me to use the jail orders, and everything goes smooth, you can have a representative to ask me periodically whats going on, ..of course I will tell only what I can so you won't freak out, but its better than nothing i guess And so, he's got the power not only to change the gate, but to jail you if he wants to, giving him power over you. Closest thing to a king the Tribunal land has, and as long as you remain inside, some of the people as well. Knator Commander: If you plan to stay during this mission, you should be warned that I have authority to reinforce military law on this land _for a limited time_.
  12. For the last few weeks or whatever, I've been watching and involved in the Necrovion rebellion, and have noticed a problem with the rebel system in general; if one is to rebel, they can't actually do anything without the help of Mur. The only thing that has gotten done throughout the Necrovion rebellion is bickering that hasn't gotten anybody anywhere, and Necrovion remains stagnant. If all GG citizens were to rebel tomorrow, would it actually get anything done? Or could Yrth simply say "Meh, I don't need you people" and continue his business? So, I propose that either the rebel system is changed or taken out until such changes can be made. Discuss/suggest, but don't make this into an argument about Necrovion rebellion, please; it's about rebel system as a whole. Thanks.
  13. Tribunal has KC as a ruler...yay >>

  15. There are two types of people in the world; those who think there are two types of people in the world and those who don't.

  16. Well, now that it's officially November 23rd in my time zone, I want to say thanks to everybody; please rate, comment and subscribe, and keep a look-out for new videos every week! No, but srsly, thanks everyone.

  20. My problem with the Most Influential award is that sometimes influence isn't easily seen, because there are many things done in MD behind closed doors, as I understand it, and knowing that, then one could assume that there is some measure of effort to keep such actions unknown, and so how can we accurately judge what we don't even know about?
  21. There is a way to solve the honour problem, though it's something of a spoiler, I s'pose, not really sure. I'm sure somebody in Loreroot could help you. I would suggest looking at how honour works if that doesn't work out, and also experimenting with defense rits that help you manipulate whether or not you get a loss from being attacked. (I'm not sure if it's possible to get absolutely no losses with a defense rit, but it's easy enough to slow them down with some experimentation.) I want to add, in case you don't know; the Sparring Grounds rules do not affect MP5s at all.
  22. You can't spell community without mutiny. Well, you can, but it'd just be com, and lots of people wouldn't know what you were talking about if you didn't explain it to them.

  23. While I am of the opinion that it would be good for [b]some[/b] information to come to light, those who have it will most likely not be willing to share. That's just how it is, I s'pose.

    New Ggg?

    I clearly just want to argue, that's why I'm bringing personal aspects into the conversation; oh wait, that's you.
