No way, uniqueness can be scaled like anything else.

The very word means that there is only one of something. How can I be half unique? It's like being half called Kaimetsu.

Perhaps people can be closer to unique, if there are fewer things identical to them, but not more unique.

or whatever ArchOwl is in japanese in kanji?

You know, Kaimetsu, we've become grammarians. ^_^ I can't believe so many people have argued about this before us.

Usage Note: For many grammarians, unique is the paradigmatic absolute term, a shibboleth that distinguishes between those who understand that such a term cannot be modified by an adverb of degree or a comparative adverb and those who do not. These grammarians would say that a thing is either unique or not unique and that it is therefore incorrect to say that something is very unique or more unique than something else. Most of the Usage Panel supports this traditional view. Eighty percent disapprove of the sentence "Her designs are quite unique in today's fashions." But as the language of advertising in particular attests, unique is widely used as a synonym for worthy of being considered in a class by itself, extraordinary and if so construed it may arguably be modified. In fact, unique appears as a modified adjective in the work of many reputable writers. A travel writer states that “Chicago is no less unique an American city than New York or San Francisco,” for example, and the critic Fredric Jameson writes “The great modern writers have all been defined by the invention or production of rather unique styles.” Although these examples of the qualification of unique are defensible, writers should be aware that such constructions are liable to incur the censure of some readers.

So, I suppose you are more correct, Kaimetsu, although you can see my usage is not unfounded.

you guys are so up tight about grammer =\

I play on Providence like 10:1 haha

Eek, I'm a grammarian? ...Does that mean I get, like, a special hat or something?

Indeed. I always said the same thing until I saw some dude correct himself over it on what I think was the original Titanic film. When I saw you make the same 'mistake', well, it was a dream come true to actually look half-educated in the English language.

Well, Kaimetsu, my use of the phrase "more unique" although uncommon and perhaps syntactically awkward was indeed grammatically correct.

My avatar says "Dante."
If anyone would like their name written in some form of Japanese script I'd be more than happy to do it for them. And, I do mine by hand, no less!

It would be great if you could make one of:
"Stylez"
"Romeo2k" (just "Romeo" if numbers are a problem)

Is Providence's strength its technical quality (ie, quality of the levels and NPCs) or the quality of its ethos? Like, does everybody like it because of the encouragement to RP, or because it's just a good server?

it's etho's until it get's the bugs smoothed out

RP the levels and npcs arent very nice and the NPC's could all have been pretty much done on version 1.28 or so (Thats when I started graal or atleast think i did)
