This is not yours to decide unless you start up your own shard or become part of the administration of a shard.
DorK:
Sorry what?! I was planning to be running shards, writing shards, and playing the shards. Come heaven and high water I was here to make as many contributions as I could to Uru
Shorter DorK: Opinions like mine aren't being heard loudly enough, so here I am with my Air raid siren! Now our message will be heard!This community will develop based on what the community likes in general. This sort of passive-aggressive bullying will not change that and will in fact hurt the form of Uru you and I enjoy the most. So I'll say it frankly: Enough. Stop acting like your opinion is the only one that matters.
DorK:
My opinion does matter though, and to me it is my only opinion, and I now take this stance because everyone else around here does, why should I be any different?
DorK:3 sentences instead of a long post? I think I can give it a try.
My only difference is that I state what I mean, instead of writing long essays that don’t actually mean anything, I am sick to death of reading mountains of drivel on a topic, when 3 lines would have done it
I could condense the last few posts down to a few lines saying why that person doesn’t agree with the OP

DorK:
Anyway back to the point, I was stating ... if we turn this game into second life, I might have as well gone and played second life.
So, how come you still have an internet connection?
I believed that all I did was state fact, and make a request. If people can't see that I posted, perhaps we should take the internet away from them from fear of them injuring themselves?!
I read what Whil says, and I can understand it loud and clear. I read what DorK said, then suddenly I smelled something burning. It turns out my head spontaneously combusted. I had to dunk my head into the sink to make the pain stop. English DorK, do you speak it?While there are parts of Second Life,etc. I do not like, their implementation will be based on how popular that implementation is and not my preferences.
DorK:
Erm ... soooo ?! What exactly are you saying here?
There are parts to Second Life you don't like? You then seem to jump somewhere else about implementation will be based on how popular implementation is and that it’s not your preferences?
Eh!?
Lets see, right now I'm standing between Whil and DorK. On one side I'm hearing all kinds of good music, rock n roll, jazz, pop, rap, he's got a bunch of music to include everyone. On DorK's side I'm hearing Lunatic Fringe.I know there are many people who like a wide variety of things about Uru and your post hurts that
DorK:
Erm no it supports Uru. If I play music from Uru loudly, and you play music from second life louder what is going to be noticed more, Uru's music or Second Life's?
Actually, there is nothing I can do to this line that DorK has done to it already.So I say to those who are rightfully-offended by DarK's post: Ignore it.
DorK:
Please do ... I rather be ignored and shown to be right, than paid attention to and be proven wrong.
The version of Uru you settle in can and likely will be whatever you want.
DorK:
But then you won't be playing Uru. I head into "YourMy Uru" and ask to explore an age, the reply I get would probably along the lines of "Age what’s that, but hey you can decorate things in your home grid, try out this colour on your garage! Or if you move the sofa in front of the house, you get a free banjo"
Please consider your idea/suggestion etc in relation to the fact that you are a human being and that you have as much a right to be here as anyone else.
DorK:
And please consider that I have as much right to state facts and request that people don't walk on my lawn as well.
I have a suggestion, how about all the people who think the way you do get your own shard. Everyone needs their own place, and you deserve your own (for everyones piece of mind).Uru does need many of the features/ideas from your suggestions.
DorK:
What suggestions?! That uru doesn't need things for second life; please make your mind up.
Improved.If you are going to be suggesting we add a feature from other games, please stay here and debate the idea, and the feature you will be suggesting might become a feature of this game.
DorK:
All I want is a control procedure, some community officially stamped “cyan style” content, where I don’t have to shell out, collect items, or be in a special clique of friends to get access. And at 6 pm I want pizza served to me, at 7:30 I want my diaper changed, at 9 pm I want my nightly laxative dose. Then at 11 pm I want someone to come in and read me a bedtime story (Ernist goes to camp), give me warm milk and sprinkle talcum powder on me bum. At 7 am I want oatmeal, served to me via a spoon or a funnel. And at noon I had better see a fully stocked shelf of vasaline and cheetos in my bedroom.
I don't want much here but to retain Uru and carefully add to it in a respected fashion
Now is not the time to be alienating people, DarK. Now is the time to understand that people have different ways of enjoying Uru.
DorK:
No the time now is to stop walking around on egg shells, put all the cards on the table and be counted. Uru is full of non-committed people who are always willing to add a suggestion or twenty, and then complain about it when it doesn't happen; many people seem to enjoy that somehow?
But not if you drive them away. You will kill Uru through your intolerance.
DorK:
I will kill my Uru experience though my own actions and take as many people with me as I can thanks very much.
DorK:First, you're just jealous because you thought you were the one and only guy that had his head in his backside. Second, you can count? Wow! And tell time? There might be hope for you yet!
To be honest, it’s really getting to the stage where I can't be bothered any more. I am guessing I will have to see a vast improvement in co-operation, the ability for people to communicate things correctly and for a lot of people to get their heads out of their backsides to understand that they are not the only people in the world and that it doesn't revolve around them.
Pfft another 30 minutes wasted...


| Uru is NOT Second Life or There or any number of other alternate reality reality games ... (you heard me!) Please consider your idea/suggestion etc in relation to these types of games before posting. Uru does not need many of the features/ideas from these games. If you are going to be suggesting we add a feature from these games, please go play Second life or There, as the feature you will be suggesting is a core feature of that game. Second Life || There != Uru This has been a public service announcement for the sake of sanity! |

| Shorah to you all my friends. I am a Myst-Fan from the beginning, Games, Books, Fansites, and of course URU. I was a beta tester for the first try, and have been in Uru until gamtap shut down. Cyan. I really appreciate what you are trying to give to the community. But you should think over it again. The Step of MORE will simply destroy the Myth of Myst, because only you are able to continue expanding that great universe. And yes, I know your are not able to do that at the Moment. But I beg you, Cyan, Rand Miller: Let Myst rest in Peace. It has been a great Adventure ( myst and uru ), it was fun, sometimes annoying ( overcrowded City anyone? If your company gets healthy enough in the future, you should focus on a new Myst adventure, or maybe something complete different that blows our Mind. But don't do that open source stuff. It will destroy Myst, if there isn't a company like Cyan which controls it. So please, Rand, do not do it. Sincerly, Spellbreaker. |

<@Tweek> I love it when I match colours up hex value to hex value just from eye sight alone
<@chucker> o.o
<wandering_nomad> Tweek> That’s not something humans should be able to do.
<@Tweek> well that probably explains the claps of ominous thunder and the screams of nurses when I was born then.
<@amonreoo> you make me thirsty
<wandering_nomad> THIRSTY FOR MY HOT MANJUICE?
<@amonreoo> no
