This does not imply that an 'army' of Dustarian's is required, but it does mean that some key members might be asked or volunteer, without request from the King, to aid in the war effort.

Wehn Bosh was trying to take Zormite it was terrible. Zormite has the lowest level players, and since it is the third reconstrution I have been part of, we had very weak leadership since really Zormite never recoverd from Graynt. There is not much Drake could do since he had too much stuff irl. Bosh was right though, Dustari and Zormite's actvity spiked when he did his war mongering. In terms of military Zormite is pretty weak still, because we are still trying to establish a working order. No other Kingdom went through what Zormite did, in a few days a complete eradication of the kingdom just to rebuild it. Kingdoms needs more wars to keep it spicey. But Zormite is not ready for war. I can't think of any kingdom right now that can fight at this moment with atleast half of thier people.

Don't promote war if you can't participate in one

Thats mainly because there is no system to control inactivity within the ranks. Just look at Forest/CP, all those members yet less than 5-8% are active.

There's no fun in everyone just being friends... Infact the thought of a society where everyone likes everyone makes me sick... Conflict is essential.

It's a ROLEPLAYING game.

Prejudice, racism, and even genocide should be toys to bring to the playground.

Actualy I made a poll and most players think that Kingdoms is a PK server even though most people don't PK.

Opinion doesn't = Fact... The fact is, barely anyone on GK actually PK's, even those who like to pk and try to pk are just left with a handful of people who run... Hardly a pk server...

Yeah but in that thread Googi hit the nail right on the head. GK is an economy based server right about now.

That's pretty much how I feel about it right now. I'm not looking to establish the most active kingdom, or be the longest leader. Graal isn't worth that sort of commitment.

What I want to do is develop some new stuff for Dustari for FUTURE leaders, so kingdoms isn't so BORING.

Then when your pros, you can actually learn to hate eachother and make RPing into a competition as it should be.
I haven't seen "real" RP on GK in two years, and I don't expect to see it anytime soon. I'm not a fan of roleplaying, actually - I find it homosexual in it's nature. But it undeniably makes Graal Kingdoms more interesting, so long as it's organized.

That's because the GermanKr3w made PKing ***. It used to be vicious and competitive, now you practically need an invite before you can PK another player.



Anyways, I'm going to make a thread for all of the members who DON'T want to be removed. Otherwise I'm "format C:\" all current members. It's just fluff and filler - and I invite other kingdoms to do the same.

But aren't you the king of Dustari?

So the leader of a roleplaying group has a negative attitude toward the practices on which the group is based AND the basis of the group itself?

I'd support the delisting of all inactive members from ALL kingdoms, except for the fact that it looks kind of sad when all the kingdoms have a combined playercount of 20...

That should have answered your question, but I guess you ignored it. What I want to do is enlist some competent individuals and set them in positions to maintain Dustari rather than trivial other factors.

You wouldn't build a rollercoaster with the mantra, "Screw structural integrity! I want to have fun NOW!"? Well, the only kingdom I've seen hold any sort of noteworthy competence in the last while was CP, and that was because it had competent individuals controlling it.

I'll worry about setting it up withstand, then I'll worry about making it fun.

It's simply a representation of the state of Graal Kingdoms. I understand that Dustari will look "pathetic" in comparison to other kingdoms, but if they did the same thing it would be a similar playing field. Besides, it all comes down to war - and when it does, it's not how many 1-hit wonder newbs you've got... it's how many power houses. Power-house players can usually be counted on two hands for an entire server.
