Its called going off tag, and being out of character, something you did yourself. You are trolling if you want to pretend you are not familiar with it.

Marriage, adoption, children, new characters. In fact, Ana started out playing a rather young child RP wise for a good while.

Tell someone "Hey, you can start a new character as a cool elf" and they'll be interested. Tell someone "Hey, join zormite and have people like zurk make fish jokes constantly at your expense, reek of the smell of fish constantly, and be forced to wear the ugliest fish head you can imagine" and people will, I would say, pass. In other words: It could kill zormite.

Good for you. I became a member after I enlisted as a soldier, having little success as a blacksmith and merchant guardsmen on main. Ana was born there, Zoe and her sister were immigrants. Out of curiousity who asked how Zurkiba became a member of Dustari?

Amazing, see how complex and difficult that was?

Except that Zormite isn't a race of fish people anymore. It is simply very unappealing to be a smelly ugly fish who's sole purpose appears to be a butt for your every fish fry joke.

Depends on the percentages of course, it is a logical transition. You could of course be constructive, and if you don't like it, try to find a
better means by which 2k2 zormite is a human kingdom, with its current culture. Then you can propose that to zormite, and if they happen to like it, perhaps they'd adopt it.

Time in RPGs is of course, rather hard to play out. You can say that the Astri existed for far less than a year, that all of the history between 2k1 and now is no longer than 4 years total. That would of course, mess up the age of anyone who has played a character that has aged...more than 4 years since 2k1. Darwinian evolution never factored, of course...where did you get that idea?

The Zormites were the only kingdom which stayed, which left few reminants of the other kingdoms to merge and rebuild. Nation of Bellasera, Dustari and Pirates worked together. Malenth, Dustari and Samurai worked together (Dustari being dominate).
The Zormites only suffered a small food issue in their shelters at home and the two Emperors died. The Council of Elders would've selected a new Emperor and the Zormites would've grown stronger then ever without human competition.
So since you get to make up oddball roleplaying excuses
*launches the magical nuclear missile at Zormite and all the humans die expect the Zormite fishes*
Yey for me! The Fish reign supreme now!
|
2k1 is dead, it has no players. It is history. And a disease or plague that effects the original zormites (they would have a different physiology than humans of course) is hardly odd ball.
Whether you like it or not, Zormite is not a race of fish people on GK. It never will be unless people IN Zormite choose to change their minds.

I was able to break each kingdom apart, and leave it the only grape on the vine. Then I plucked that grape. That was the genius of Astri.

LOL that was not diplomacy, that was the fact you had defeated us in battle and we could not overtly support Zormite, under orders from Larrien, out of fear of retribution. Larrien was clear if we wanted to support Zormites, we could not do so in a fashion that would come to your attention.
Btw, replace grape with apple, vine with branch, Zormite with the USA, and you have the 'genius' of the famous Soviet propaganda flyers.

You were the one that said they were constantly at war and had no reason for being allied.

So far nappa has said things like "No, Zormite and Dustari are basically the same" without actually giving any reasons for it, and still hasn't tried to. If he can't explain the basis of his statement, based on logic that wouldn't pass the exact same way by replacing variables (ie, the logic would have to work for Zormite and Dustari, but not for Dustari and Forest or Dustari and Samurai, etc) then its just his opinion without any backup. His other statements are pretty much the exact same statements he has said before in previous threads that were debated ad nausem, till they were dead. That leaves the other things he often says, which amount to insults, comments about zormite having its nose stuck up dustari's ass and things to that effect, which are plain old troll-bait and pointless crude insults.
I welcome any of nappa's comments that contribute, they are just far and few between.

The issue was not settled, that is why there are still "Zormites" running around as Dustarian Jrs.

Ghost Pirate can have a say, but if CP doesn't want to do things his way, sorry, but GP hasn't been playing or even a member of CP in ages. If CP welcomed him back, that is fine. Take a lesson from reality: You start a corporation, it does great, you bring it to new grand heights, you resign, you move on to other things. If years later you want to be involved again in the direction of the company, you need the approval of its board of directors, and possibly a shareholder's vote.
That's life, thats fair, and without some prior contract, its the only way things can work.
