Shattered Planes Archives (Seasons 4 & 5)

(I will have it noted that this topic is a-canonical)

(I will have this noted as a non-canon post)

The plasticine door grew redhot and then melted from the point of impact onwards. The same happened with the metallic walls before it, albeit the process was somewhat slower. When he had made his way inside the cockpit, he would see a darkened area, illuminated mainly by the raging electrical fire on the main console and, now, the open door. The place was in ruins, sparks shooting out all over the electrical grid and various panels and electronic doodads completely annihilated.  In the center of the room was the man, wearing a metal suit, on the floor. When the Elemental tried to move him he groaned and muttered something starting with an S.

Around him, the Elemental could a small, red device with a nozzle attached to a blackened tube. There were long pieces of metal debris that could be used as prybars but most everything else in the room had lost its use when the ship decided to play chicken with a planetoid.

Approved.

Well, you may even be a bit low, actually. If ten planets had the population of Earth, which isn't all that unlikely given magic and advanced technology as well as the already naturally extended lifespans of many races, then that would something along the lines of eighty billion people dead with each planet's destruction, not including the crews of the ships that were destroyed during wartime. After all, a super capitol ship would either be run by a CRAPTON of people or a bunch of AI/automatic procedures. Heck, even frigates would have pretty large crews if most of the stuff wasn't automated.

Again, I cited Orga as an example because no one seemed to have an issue when he did it. You do now, of course, but at the time no one worried about it. Its also your opinion that its unacceptable.

Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude. No. I did not say that your opinion is unacceptable. Your opinion is fine, its just different. I say "It is your opinion that it is unacceptable." Saying that you think that but I do not. I am not in any way demeaning your opinion.

Alright so if everyone could take a breather here and come back with cool heads? Please? Can we not start some great flame bait and just try to figure out what we can do with the issues Gaser has presented? Please?

Approved I guess

Alright, Im wary of posting here because its my character but I'd like to put my two cents in and this does not necessarily reflect the overall staff opinion.

First off, jokes are jokes. Sometimes they're funny, sometimes they're not. Just because they broke the fourth wall doesn't automatically mean that the joke isn't funny. However, jokes can be harmful to people and not everyone realizes the consequences of their actions. That doesn't mean that joking should be condemned.

As well, I should point out that Knowledge doesn't care about power. He's a hedonist, he doesn't want anything more to experience the universe. It would be out of character for him to use the techniques he knows to become an all-powerful uber-being that could destroy all of existence. Its simply not something that he would do. I recognize the concern for power abuse but people are limited to what is logical for the character to do.

As well, Knowledge has never been said to be hardly part of the game. He exists as a potential plot point, particularly with a plot with regards to the Revenge-Zarethian war that Unstellar and I have planned. So, he does have a plan, he does have a purpose. Even topics he was in that are not part of the Revenge-Zarethian war have some purpose that I have looked into as a way of explaining his place there. Usually he manipulates people to his own gains or for his amusement. After the Revenge-Zarethian War I plan on him being removed unless the staff think they can use him.

Orph actually has a good point. I honestly didn't think about it that way. (I believe my issue was how it was explained to me, I thought that he would be able to know about, well, EVERYTHING) However, the thing is that the fourth wall has been broken other times (namely by Orga with his character Sam) and that caused no conflict that I can remember. That being said, if most people are opposed to any fourth wall breaking then the staff will probably listen to such. Before this, the only incident I remember is when I called Hikaru the RPer out for not posting as a joke, which was wrong of me. That prompted the newer "only for a joke; don't abuse" clause. Either way I didn't realize it was such a big issue.


As to the claim that the staff are arrogant elitists, well, I believe that this is entirely false. The fact that you disagreed with staff opinion, which has always (to my knowledge) been the final decision for matters in the site does not make them elitist or arrogant. As well, the staff listen to majority opinion then make a decision that they believe is best for the site and canon, etc. For the remark regarding the minority treatment, well, I believe that if the minority is in opposition to the majority then the majority (in some cases) is right and the minority is wrong. I'll use myself for an example. If I believe that the powers of my embodiement Knowledge work one way, but the rest of the members don't then I am probably wrong. Probably. If I bring it to the staff I let the staff decide. If the staff decide that it is OP then its probably OP and I, the minority, am wrong. This may well be the case, as we shall probably see soon enough.
The fact that you made a disrespectful response was the reason K2 told you to watch your tone, and this has been done by other staff members trying to stop anything that may incite a growth in the argument that may lead to flaming.

There is a difference between staff opinion and personal opinion. A staff member may hold a different view then the rest of the staff but that does not change the staff's overall opinion. This post, for example, is simply my personal opinion and is not the overall staff opinion to the best of my knowledge.

Tàeolus shook his head and smirked, his mirth dying down slightly. This fool was no embodiment of knowledge or common sense, obviously, but he had hoped for a bit of a challenge when dealing with him. Of course, being a Narrikian, they had their merry share of bad luck, what with the DAIS and the Anrufe and now the supposed good guys of the universe, the Zarethians and Vionix. Their misfortune made them such great items to manipulate.

"Yes, I am here to help, yes I know that you don't have you... What do you call it? Magical producing organ? You lost yours and now you're looking for a way to get another. That, though, is not what I came to help you with. The Zarethians and Vionix attacked Memorial, mostly out of spite because they knew that the Narrikian race would be easy to take over. They currently plan to eliminate all the politicians and local officials and then brainwash the rest of the population. They have sent the message to the galaxies that the Narrikians had declared war on the Vionix, and the Zarethians valiantly assisted their allies against the aggressive, imperialistic New Narrikian Empire." As he spoke his voice dripped with sarcasm when he referred to the "valiant" Zarethian attack force and the "aggressive, Imperialistic" Narrikians.

The disguise was so obvious, it was hard to see how people could not see through it. Then again, those people didn't embody knowledge itself.

"You stand no chance against either of them, and the Mechera will join up on their side. You'll have the big three empires all dividing up your people, slaughtering and enslaving them easily. Like I said, you stand no chance against them.... But with the help of my friends and I, you do. All we need from you is some cooperation." He said, shifting his weight around and leaning back slightly, casually.

Thank you, Orph. That should solve the issue.

*shrugs* I don't think its an issue. As I've always understood it, the no double posting usually is meant for IC things. However, I'll check with the other staff and ask them if it's an issue.

Hikaru, you can simply go to the recent posts section up top.  I personally enjoy the cool modding stuff that I'm seeing here. Curse you, Orph for your PC Skyrim. Though, Orph, if you could simply wait and post a bigger group of photos  that might solve the issue.
