    Oh well. If the Watcher or Shelob, or any other evil but not servent of sauron NPC were hand of eru, they would still die just the same. The moral characters would just justify it as they aren't on our kill restrictions.

    So it's not that big of a deal. Have fun, kill everything and everyone.

    Evils only kill certain evil npc's... watcher --> not servant of sauron --> killable and a few other ones as well

    If you think the advantages are pro-evil then just join an evil guild and soon you will see how wrong you are.

    Squibb, you're missing my point.

    A lot of good stuff can be gotten by morals on evilly aligned npcs, but what the fuck does that matter when evils won't think twice about killing them anyways?

    Hence the advantage.

    Dunno, I think the RP of Udungul is good. Hell when you are an evil guild who has a theme to help defend/protect an area where every moral and neutral player in the game wants to loot, making a ton of enemies is inevitable.

    I was told by Big D when Meglivornth was the first to be removed one reason was that neutral guilds were being removed. Go ask him as I have all our conversation logs saved on the computer at my family's house.

    OK, aside from Uniques, how many good items can be gotten by evils as compared to morals?

    I don't believe for a second the ainu removed impartial guilds for rp reasons (despite what is said). It's gotta have been for playability reasons, and if i'm right, then Evils have a massive advantage over morals with your line of reasoning.

    Evils killing another evil not RP? Since when is the unstructured and chaotic environment of evils not thematic? Yes there is a loose structure to evils and no im not giving a hallpass for killing anything we wish, but when the orc in gundabad is preventing me from passing and I need to get past when the Ainur have failed to code another way, then I simply kill him.

    If you think it is more thematic for me to beg a moral to kill it for me so I don't mess up 'RP'(the most subjective term in the game) am I hurting RP more by asking a moral to do it? You tell me.

    Or when I kill Atraiu for the Dark Sword 'Morimacil' then is that going against RP because last I checked he was not a servant of Sauron although he is of evil alignment? Shit needs to be clarified so that people don't keep bringing this shit up over and over.

    Oh I mix posts in this site, well, let's do a nice cut&paste ;-)

    You all have to hibernate for a long... long... long... time.

    It gives you 'perspective', guaranteed.

    Beyaz, you're right, Towers is a RP MUD, but it's almost impossible to RP there and you cannot 'enforce' RP, so better not try to do it (or at least not put TOO MUCH effort on it or you will go insane ;-).

    Thanks bye! (oh yes, I'm hibernated!!)

    P.D. DH, go to RP with others, how did you still do not notice it's not the same way of KoDA tries to RP? The only reason KoDA don't ignore you completely is because you manage again and again to harrass (killing mainly) them...

    I've never claimed to attack you for RP or non RP reasons, or claimed that I don't RP. In fact, when I've killed you, I've never even spoken to you about it.

    Live with the fact that the concept of The Daen Hecil attacking KoDA is perfectly thematically sound. Also live with the fact that of course I'm less inclined to read your posts when half of them exist only to pretentiously correct other people's typos, like some kind of beta version organic dictionary.

    Beyaz - The word dyslexia is making unavailable to Delgaur is most likely 'rogue', not the 'french for red'.

    And the reason why the afore mentioned comment has been ignored is possibly for the same reason most of yours are: because there are some people, of which you are one, who have nothing to say, yet conversely voice the fact as frequently as possible.

    The simple fact is, Trempk, is that some people join a guild to roleplay, others join to pretend to roleplay, but actually powerplay.

    Very few guilds are 100% RP. And yes, i am biased towards KoDA, but why shouldnt i be?

    The Knights kill evil and only evil, and do only good. I mean, we wont even eat tarky, because it comes from dead dunadan's.

    And....let me quote the towers homepage...

    Squibb, I would agree that it'd be nice to hear various opinions on this stuff, but you and I both know all it usually degrades to is personal insults and people throwing around various 'facts' they never bother to back up. If these arguments could be somewhat civilized, fine, but as it is they're a waste of everyone's time. I still think arguing about it's dumb, but I'd be fine with people discussing this stuff if they could do it like adults rather than children.

    'You see, now, RL is much funner because I am not fucking fussing over this game.'

    Why fuss over it at all in the first place? It's a GAME people. The comments on logs like this are always exactly the same: people slinging mud at eachother for no real reason other than to argue, as far as I can see. Nobody's ever going to prove any point, nobody's ever going to agree, so why don't you just drop it and move on for Christ's sake? Let people play however the hell they want, whether they're breaking their theme or not. After all, once they've already broken their theme/rp/restrictions, it's not like you can go back and change it. Get on with life, stop wasting your time arguing over idiotic issues like this, and just try to have some fun.

    Ok, I think that you fuckers should just have a all moral guild vs all evil guild war. It would be interesting.

    The reason I no longer play is this bullshit. I hate having to put up with it. Its like hell inside a world of which is used by many to escape the dreary forces of reality.

    You see, now, RL is much funner because I am not fucking fussing over this game. Sure, I still keep in contact with it, through the log page and such, but that is it. I think you all should take a step back. This is a community where players around the world should enjoy because their interests are the same.

Then i would have talked with Flare about it and made a plan. As udungul had the most people able to help i was thinking of them to store it or something for me.

    Why don't the immorals just have higher standards for themselves and actually consider themselves Sauron's elites? Instead of acting like a bunch of stupid ass cock sucking orcs and trolls who are only useful to sauron because they're stupid assmonkeys who can kill stuff. Maybe you might want to not undermine Sauron's plans or work against him by killing shit that serves a positive purpose to him? Amruin could kill anything we want to except for eorlings under our kill restrictions, but instead we decide that we aren't going to kill any moral NPCs because they are most likely on our side.

    According to the interactive guide to Arda:

    The Watcher in the water:

    Dates: First recorded in III 2994, but apparently much older than this.

    Location: The pool outside the Doors of Durin, at least in the later Third Age.

    Race: Unknown

    -A mysterious and horrific beast that lurked in the swollen waters of the Sirannon, beneath the western walls of Moria

    Notes

    1 The Watcher is a unique being, nowhere else alluded to, and in fact we cannot even say for certain that it was a single creature. It's generally depicted as a many-tentacled squid-like monster, but in fact Tolkien never states this certainly. Indeed, when Frodo asks Gandalf 'What was the thing, or were there many of them?', Gandalf's only answer is 'I do not know.' (The Fellowship of the Ring II 4 A Journey in the Dark

I'd help Flare though, ofcourse. BUT I thought It was for someone else. So to whomever I helped. I would not have used it since DH appearently would have taken it.

    A Knight will not conspire with the known enemies of Gondor.

    (Namely BkD, since they insist on killing the First Knight every chance they get)

    And...As we see in this log, BkD are actually attacking the Governor. So i was correct in what i thought.

    I have to disagree with you Hirgail. The comment 'evils have no morals' is quite correct, but I believe that over generalizes the way evil existed in Middle Earth when Tolkien wrote it. If you look at evil in his books, there are varying degrees of it - but always there is the one constant, all evil in the books served Melkor or Sauron, either through their direct or indirect influence. Therefore always, all things evil, served evil. (Creatures excluded).

    For the purposes of the MUD, there will never be true evil, because there are just too many cool things on evil NPC's. Playability outweighs RP/Alignment every time. Whether through alts, friends, or shops, evils end up with gear from evils - regardless of restriction. If I was inclined in such a way I'd probably go back to my Rimsilval days of being Hand of Eru through alignment quests, while I slay the Council, Erestor, Tombom, Maegon... etc etc you get my drift.

    Evils killed evils in the books, a few evil NPC's even kill each other on this mud - having said that I think someone (ME) should point out that the intention and fact, behind the orcs and trolls that fought and killed each other in the books, is simply that they were utterly stupid. Some hybrids of Orc later were smarter, more vicious, and could control lesser orcs, but if you read Letters you'll find that Tolkien stated clearly

    '...greed and stupidity is the motivating force that drives evil slaying evil, whereas the norm for higher orc races and evil men is to slay good...' it goes on and on but you get the basic idea.

    For anyone to suggest that members of evil guilds who kill evil creatures big or small, are trully evil, is ludicrous. They are not trully evil, they are simply greedy stupid evil things with no real purpose or focus of their own.

    In fact it's as close to 'selective roleplay' as one could probably get. If you want to talk true evil, show me evil that slays only good. If you want to talk true good, show me good that slays only good.

    Alignment does not determine morality on it's own. And that seems to me, one of the most misunderstood issues on this mud, and a constant source of guild whining.

    That is all.

    Then Kujo, that is a mistake on the part of the person who described him. I was assuming that it was in theme. Krakens were not creatures of Sauron..but creatures of the Underworld. More like Dragons and Balrogs. They may be allied at times, or have a common purpose but the Kraken would not have been subserviant to Sauron.

    Also, the Kraken is in the Misty Mountains..not Lothlorien.

    Besides, think about it. Once the ring got past the Kraken, would Sauron be glad to have it there to stop nobody going into Moria, which he already held. Or would he be happy that his Servants had shiny Dwarf armour to deflect Elven arrows with? As I said, evil has no morals. SoU is subserviant to Sauron, for so long as what it kills does not hamper Saurons war effort, I doubt he could give a flying fuck if they waste the odd orc here and there. Orcs are slaves and he has plenty of them. It is over simplifying to say SoU cannot kill anything with an <moral alignment.

    Kujo:

    Perhaps i was mistaken about killing RoI...I am not going to argue that, as I dont have proof. The point of that comment however, was not to bragg about my superior pkill skills, but to show how RoI are akin to servants of Sauron in some of their actions.

    And the Watcher is NOT a servant of Sauron. look it up sometime.

    and with that, I bid farewell.

    IF SoU kill the watcher..that's totaly above board. I'd say the Kraken falls under the same catagory as Shelob..while being evil it is not a servant of Sauron per say. It could be argued that it's bad tactics to kill the enemies of your enemies, but for gameplay the hauberk does more for evil that the Kraken being there alive. The thing about evil is, it has no morals. It exists to cause harm and to gather power to itself. (Good also gathers power but it suppose to have some scruples about how it does so).

    Aye, the evil guilds do have kill restrictions to keep them from killing sauron's servants. I'd just like to know what ones have been killed since these new restrictions came in.

    Just because you see an Udungul, SoU, or CoU with a OCP doesn't mean they didn't just loot it off the corpse of your buddy who tried to get it.

    Hey hey, it's me. Just a few comments on Otoron's words. When I was a GM, long ago, I read a post of Otoron saying he'd gladly kill the governor if this governor refuses to give him mels. And another thing - Otoron said 'SoU, CoU, and Udungul -routinely- kill servants of Sauron.'. Well, I sure do dislike SoU and Udungul, for I've fought with them - died by them and killed them. But to say the kill evils, that is bullshit. They've like always had enough killing restrictions on sauron's servants. And CoU. Well, I've been impartial to CoU all my mudlife but I've heard they also have _full_ restrictions on killing sauron's servants. So half of what Otoron said is bullshit. Bye.

    So just how bored is everyone with this game now? Valoc might have a good idea. I shouldn't say this, but perhaps people would appreciate their guilds more, if Arda lost them for a period of time. They are pretty pointless as it stands. Basically just little gangs who stick together for a common armoury/shop and who pay for it by not killing certain NPC's. Some guilds may defend an area when it suits them, or when they are bored..but don't do it fanatically.(SoU and KoDA as almost always being the exception). People don't really want to RP these days. It's viewed as a hassle and a burdon(or a good excuse to PK someone). No-one really cares I suppose. Maybe things will change when ERs are bought in ..but I doubt the change will be lasting. Everyone has played this game for too long, it seems to have lost it's charm I guess.

    FYI

    Valinor do not enforce RP. Valinor enforce guild theme, to a degree, but generally don't involve themselves in guild vs guild conflicts unless there is a very good reason. And let's face it who knows what Valinor would consider a good reason right? When was the last time Valinor interceded in a guild vs guild dispute anyway? Let alone an RP matter.

    Zargon is not a lamer. If you want to call someone a lamer, call me a lamer. I am lame and here for your personal insulting pleasure.

    RP - when RP standards have been defined, then really all we have are individual opinions and no single group, or person, can with any certainty say when RP stops and RP begins. Did RoI break their RP? Maybe. Does it effect anyone really? No.

    Ultimately we can say WITH certainty that the world is round, it spins around the sun, the universe is constantly expanding, and RoI haven't done anything that individuals, and guilds, haven't been doing and continue to do, for years.

    TADAH!

    Problem here is, Otoron is trying to move focus of this log away from his own guild, by pointing out the flaws he belives lay with other guilds. RoI are in the log, doing bad things, not SoU not CoU not the Beornings. Fact is, you are not a member of either of them guilds, so you should not worrie about them, all you need do is deal with thier GMs when you have run ins and problems, which i know you do for the best part.

    But this log is about RoI, and possibly BKD. They are in the log. Beornings are not allowed to kill in linhir, CoU, SoU i will assume its there theme. - so why point the finger at them i dont know.

    You should just hold your hands up, save face and deal with the guilty offenders. *shrug* - if you think CoU, SoU, Beorns are so bad - then dont follow the same trend.

    No shit, Pounder.

    Off the top of my head, on the 'moral side' Amruin, BKD, Galadhrim and Glorglas have more lenient kill restrictions than we do.

    SoU, CoU, and Udungul -routinely- kill servants of Sauron.

    Don't even get me started on the Beornings kill restrictions ... you talk about setting examples, Kanovar.... there's a guild setting the example for the type of shit that was supposed to be removed during the last theme review; a theme that would logically mean friendliness towards Elves with a buncha members who slay the council more than anyone else in the game and kill pretty much any race or alignment they feel will best stock the armoury.

    But hey, I guess I should take it as a compliment that a log or two of questionable actions can cause this much fuss.

    Put your own houses in order before you start lobbing stones with such self-righteous glee.

    Its clear Fofester has really the only good comment in this log. I can guess almost to a fact that every guild here has done something questionable. If you really want to look at a guild that can kill many things if I am not mistaken but it is actually bkd. There is nothing wrong with that though IMHO. I honestly think the ainur only try to enforce RP for balance reasons, at least that seemed to be the case in FRA, meg, rims and durm changes. Balance reason would be like they were too much more powerful over other guilds since they could kill almost anything. Anyways, like Fofester said, this is alot of stupid fuss over eq that lasts a whole 2-3days maybe?:) Thats also why I can't understand people jumping others for gear and stuff but oh well I guess its just me.

    Lotraz, I didn't once defend the actions.

    I noted the hypocrisy of those throwing stones.

    And if you think the log page is a place for a GM to deal with problems, you're... well, we'll agree to disagree on that.

    And really... what does me acknowledging it have to do with the veracity of my comparisons with the evil guilds? If we were Udungul, DH, or CoU, this wouldn't have caused an eye to blink, because it would have been (at one point or another) nothing out of the norm. I just find it cute how the same people who pissed and moaned when targets of moral guilds refrain of 'you guys don't rp!' cast a stone without catching the irony.

    Ah well. I think us being considered a 'neutral' guild is kinda hilarious, considering CoU, Udungul, Sons, and Beornings kill a crapload of NPCs of both sides due to playability, and we maybe kill one-five moral NPCs per uptime, if that.

    But hey... we're a 'moral' guild, and as such, have to comply to your demands to roll over and shackle ourselves by our theme while 'evil' Arda laughs at such things?

    Meh.

    At first I were about to argue against Kolbjoern, saying this log is excactly like the shit 'evil' have been doing when protecting Mordor for ages.

    Then I started reading RoI's comments and notice the members acknowledge they did wrong in this case - all except Otoron.

    So, due to that: Typical RoI behaviour. I have to agree with Squibb on this one, Otoron is trying to change RoI to be a new Meglivornth/Rimsilval. They will never get the Ainu's approval, but they might get their ignorance. Get a grip Otoron.
