porksaber Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) On planet digeterra, no single word conjures up such mystery as the term "Ragnarok". What is a Ragnarok? It seems to be the embodiment of nordic rage, of ancient mystery, and of dark and savage times and realms. In this episode of Wild Kingdom, we shall explore the world of the ragnarok, and try to uncover some of these secrets so that we may understand it more holistically. At first glance, the ragnarok appears to be a savage beast, uttering only in clicks and whistles, or a rudimentary system of grunts and other guttural monosyllabic noises. However, upon further inspection, it appears that the ragnarok has an advanced system of communication, perhaps even over communication. In fact, a leader ragnarok encourages his underlings to overcommunicate. [img]http://i.imgur.com/9HrW5.png[/img] Such encouragement of overcommunication is important to the social development of all ragnaroks. it is further evidenced that this overcommunication to the outside and inside worlds reflect a sense of concern for fellow ragnaroks and other primitive cultures that keep company with them. For example, observe the consideration of feeling when discussing communication between ragnaroks. Some impressive and deep psychology is at work here. [img]http://i.imgur.com/fM18W.png[/img] with all this communication going on, it is pretty evident that some control of information needs to be put in place as a security measure. When such a security threat is detected, the ragnarok has a vehicle for dealing with that as well: [img]http://i.imgur.com/sVaID.png[/img] All of this talk of the sensitivity of the ragnarok doesn't completely dispell some of the evocation of savagery when it's name is uttered. for example, it's apparent that ragnaroks will attack if provoked, or even if other primitive beings that associate with the ragnaroks are threatened or otherwise provoked. For example, the NATO. [img]http://i.imgur.com/k3h54.png[/img] True to form, the Ragnarok is ready to fight! Well, at least some of them. For example, the following ragaroks are in a state of hibernation and can't be bothered with committing frivolous and unwanton acts of violence: [img]http://i.imgur.com/Rox8Q.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/hueE8.png[/img] However, a minority of ragnaroks are ready and willing to lay it all on the line!

Stonewall Jaxon Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Pork, this isn't addressed to you, but rather your colleague and the person who gave these screens over to you for publication Look buddy, you're doing this because you see an opportunity to find some excitement in the world. You've been doing it for some time, so when Non Grata was more than happy to support you, you aligned with them and are now spying on alliances whose discovery of a spy leads to no extra excitement or drama. You made one really fun effort in the past, but it wasn't like this. This project is a dead end. I would love to support you, but not as long as you're doing this to the wrong alliances. Switch your focus, and you have a chance to make a difference again. Quit just spying on the alliances Non Grata wants you to spy on. And if you're ever on IRC again, come find me so we can chat about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yukon Don Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Yeah...generally this sucks, but on the same note I knew I had a ton to clean up. I have taken control of and tightened security during the past couple weeks, and ironically that has not been enough. At least one post above is from a thread restricted to just a few members. As of today I've removed admin privileges for others, but sadly too late. At least 4 valued members have had their forum profile deleted in the past 2 days. I'm pissed, but not at this thread...it has helped me identify who I believe the culprit to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Actually, a very long time ago on the old Rok forums certain measures were put in place that would make it pretty easy to identity the account used if screenshots ever popped up on the OWF. Vox Populi was harassing us and other alliances at the time as memory serves. It would be logical to assume that similar security measures were implemented when the new forums were created.

[/quote] IIRC Vox didn't mess with RoK, but I could be wrong. I know OcUK was a huge cause for upped security measures. I forget the dudes name, but I remember they had one guy who managed to get a spot as a Lord (he was actually a really good gov't member too). :S That was also like 3 or 4 forums ago D: Also: about NG using the spy as a CB to roll RoK, I can promise you if NG wanted to roll RoK, they wouldn't bother with such a crappy CB.
