You're talking about how people and PK'ers will ruin FOOL. Well...

Employ a system similar to the one used in Anarchy Online. (A soon-to-be-released Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game from the Norwegian developer Funcom. Pre-order it today! Available at your local mail order service or from www.anarchyonline.com)

If you haven't heard about it, they use this "zone system" for player killing.

Inside the huge cities and populated areas, there is a "happy-gas", a gas that prevents player-killing altogether.

A bit farther out, around the city, the gas is thinning, so player killing is allowed, but only against members of the other side of the conflict (AO has 2 major factions, but this could be tweaked in FOOL).

Even farther out, in the Great Plains (this would be the Wastelands in FOOL) it's a free-for-all. So there are monsters, and players are free to kill other players.

So, whaddya think?

Don't tell me you're actually stupid enough to start an entirely new thread on this shit. 8-ball got a warning (which was later removed), don't you ever learn?

PKing isn't the problem. You don't seem to get that through your thick-ass skull. The ROLES and BACKGROUND in the game are the points. So what happens when you dump thousands of people into the Wasteland? It like...ceases to be the wasteland, perhaps?

Enough, I'm fucking sick of this topic.

Post at your own risk.

[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Jan-07-01 AT 08:39PM (GMT)[p]Well, this isn't really related to the topic, but did anyone else notice the Irony of something called "Anarchy" being so strictly regulated in regards to chaos and death?

(After Edit)

Well, someone was going to ask eventually, so here goes:

Rosh, what's with the ever-expanding sig?

Ok its good to read some of this stuff some of the time. I must admit this was one of the most interesting FOOL posts i've read but it's still not allowed. I may not agree with the ban but i'll follow it. I'm sure you know that this wasn't suppoosed to be posted. Its always good to point these things out to newbies who don't know stuff but i would've thought you could read the 'FOOL topics are unwelcome here' thing.

How many bloody FOOL post will thre be!!! Soon none i hope.

I really don't want to be banned. I really don't. But I just have to point out that you're running these forums like a police state.

I know I'm taking a risk here. A serious one. But I hope you can look a bit at yourself, really scrutinize your behavior, and see if there are any valid reasons for me to call this a police state, instead of just flaming and banning me down to the calm surface again. The former would be the civilized way of settling things.

Calling it a police state IS a bit much, I know. These forums are great in tons of other respects. But I hope you understand that I found police state as the most fitting description for this particular situation.

Thanks in advance for not banning me for this

Police whatnow?

I think that people expect a little too much from our friendly neighborhood mods. They're not some damn server, they're people. People have opinions. People have feelings. Specifically, feelings of frustration. Notice, in other FOOL posts (actually, there are only two other active ones that I've found...) the mods try to address the FOOL-age remnants with logic and civility, if not with perhaps just a titch of tounge-in-cheek humor at the poster's expense. I think that Rosh just got a bit (a bit - understatement at it's best) fed up with it all, and he just blew off some steam on the next person that chose to utter the accursed name of FOOL *Covers mouth, looks around apprehensively*

Don't take it personally, a reprieve from a mod doesn't constitute a shot at you.

However boorishly it's worded.

"I'm not a pessimist, I just think realistically."
 
RE: Police whatnow?

Oh. Okay. Oh. Oops. Uh, forget what I wrote! Damn, I'm jeopardizing my status here just because Roshambo was a bit steamed?! Okay, mo... admi... Rosham... Rosh, don't take my previous post personally you either! :)

RE: Police whatnow?

If that was serious, I'm glad I could help. If it was sarcasm...

I probably deserved it.

(Damn, I really didn't have much to say this time, did I?)

Damn the frigging 90's! It's a living hell trying to clean up the remains of it ;)

And don't you think that this was sarcasm because I used multiple exclamation points in the subject, either.
