  1. I agree that there needs to be a change. The examples provided are enough to prove that.
  2. So full of win, what more can I say? Good luck guys :lol:
  3. Thank you Zenith and GOD for getting this resolved. I look forward to seeing Kaiser Martens live!
  4. Congratulations KM, If I can remember I will send you some aid after the long list of people before me is finished. I send my Thanks to the Continuum for letting him off, he is much more entertaining with infrastructure EDIT: The aid part of course depends on the other angry parties claiming to have you on their list.. To them: Please find it in your heart the ability to forgive the Kaiser
  5. Have there been any difficulties transitioning from one leader to three? Do you all get along?
  6. He meant for him Days off in BW >_> Would we have made it through a year if we did that? :lol:
  7. o/ Blackwater may it continue on its path of awesomeness for all existence. We shall continue to train the heartless armies that will some day rule this world.. I mean serve the Rose honorably All joking aside, I've been with Blackwater most of its existence and am one of the Pages it has produced. I can't imagine myself leaving as they are the best company in all of Digiterra. Commander Metal has worked quite hard to make Blackwater what it is and with some of the older member's help(Shade0017, ManweDrago, Hamaden, myself) to name a few.. it has become quite impressive in my eyes.
  8. I'll do my best to answer the other questions. The Realm of the Rose is not only home to nations who are looking to grow in a positive environment with knowledgeable people all around them doing their best to help them out, but also to young alliances who are not ready to be out on their own. We are a friendly and helpful community. Many nations are formed that are unsure of what and where and by not aligning themselves quickly they usually get raided or harassed. We assist and teach. We're not looking for people to join the Order or Blackwater. Our strict membership policies still stand in Blackwater and the OBR. We even had some BW members relocated to the Realm who were looking for more civilian comforts. So a major difference would be the Realm was created to assist its members in all areas whereas the CTC (from what I have read about it) is focused on arranging tech deals and securing more trades for the Citadel. The Realm is probably the closest to a normal alliance the Order has in its dominion. We just want to spread the light! A member of the Realm may choose to leave someday, but they'll leave well prepared for the outside world and carrying the friendship of the OBR and Blackwater. I am not the best person to explain what the Realm is, but this is my interpretation. As for the Order's membership fluctuations.. It is more noticeable when we lose a member then it is for a larger alliance, but it is often just a Knight questing or a very very old friend finally continuing a scary thing called real life. We do not worry though. We have been getting new Supplicants from Blackwater a lot lately and one has recently joined our ranks as a Page. We're not worried and the Realm is in no way an attempt to gain new OBR members.
  9. Congratulations to the new Members and Alliances!
  10. Congratulations to our newest members and applicants! Though I can see how these threads might become repetitive, they do not seem to break any forum rules.
  11. Want to make your own alliance, but don't have enough members to be safe? Join the Realm, we help alliances and nations!
  12. :jihad: Join Blackwater! Best Training in Digiterra :jihad:
  13. The Realm is for one and all! Have a small alliance that isn't ready to step out into the world yet, we may be what you're looking for!
  14. Happy to see a new applicant.. we wouldn't mind seeing some more! So I present some new propaganda for your viewing pleasure..
  15. These are more then fair terms, I actually believe them to be too gracious. You can say what you like about how we refused to accept peace from you, but all in all we had no reason to accept peace from you. We have the upper hand and have done what we wanted with it and are now offering you peace. You can take it or we can continue.. I personally don't care. It would be wise for you to accept it. You started the war, we will finish it one way or another. Talk the big talk, call on friends, accept peace, whatever you do, in the end we are happy. Because we are happy, we are the victors Accept your sins and accept our forgiveness or continue on the path of unrighteousness!
  16. Join now or Chuck Norris will be angry!
  17. I cannot find where it is linked to any of his works.. I have a feeling it wasn't in any of his published works. I agree with what you're saying and I wasn't stating that it says that Truth doesn't exist, but more of a lot of things we see as the truth may not actually be the truth or are often an opinion. If I have my way and you have your way.. we both see it as the way, but it doesn't necessarily mean it is The Way. You could basically exchange truth with way and see what I am saying. There may not be a way or a person alive who can officially say that there is an official way or truth.. but like my next point.. I said that often the majority chooses one way and choose to see it as their truth. As for his quote "God is dead, for we have killed him" I have always thought that he meant our concept of God. The way we made God in a sense made it like he doesn't exist. Not that he doesn't exist, but our many representations have diluted his image or falsified him. Though going back to interpretations.. that is just how I myself have chosen to see it.. It wouldn't be a surprise if he was definitely an Atheist. There is definitely enough of his words to support that belief. I apologize if none of this makes sense to you.. like I said I think differently and often am the only person who can decipher what I am trying to say.
  18. Where did I say I was a philosopher? As pointed out in the first post.. you can't threaten people to read the blog.. so posting the link to this blog in random places is the only way to get people to read it.. so hush
  19. “You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.” -Friedrich Nietzsche- About the Author I am a fan of Philosophy, Poetry and most literature. It was once pointed out that all of my favorite authors exhibited either a mental problem or addiction of some kind. Nietzsche is not excluded from this interesting point. We all have our addictions, some are worse than others and I will admit to having a few (All legal mind you). Whether I am mental or not, I will leave that to you. I will not argue the fact I think differently or admire those that also think differently. Let us get back to the main topic.. (I am great at going off topic) I would love to hear some of your (anyone who happens to be reading this) representations of this quote. What do you think it means? Do you agree? I believe most things can be taken in several ways. What the author was originally trying to say may not be what you get from it. I personally think it exhibits many truths and I will list a few. We will most likely never agree on everything You have your beliefs, I have mine.. I can attempt to prove mine and so can you, but we could argue our individual cases forever. If we can't truly prove each other wrong, why not say the truth doesn't exist? The Truth is an opinion Following my previous point, it isn't hard for me to say that the truth in many cases could always be seen as an opinion. In many cases the popular opinion acts as the truth. Majority Rules If we all said the sky was pink and everything we thought was blue was instantly pink because we all believe it to be so.. who will argue? Everything we believe could probably be a direct effect of the influences upon ours lives. Maybe Nietzsche was just pointing out that we will never agree or that we should just maintain our own opinions without trying to make them facts. I could probably agree with almost any representation of this quote, as it could be referring to nothing and everything, and I am quite open minded. Please give me your outlook on it... I've already admitted to thinking differently so if you see it as something totally different or don't agree with me SAY SO!
  20. Is it just me or does the world seem to be going in the wrong direction ? Everyone pretends to be something they're not, natural resources are low , gas prices are high , jails are overpopulated. Believe it or not I can link all of the above to "Wanting More." If you think about it this country was formed on "Wanting More." We wanted to have freedom of religion and once we had it we made so many denominations even I can't keep track. I won't blame this on religion , but our American way is to want more and get more. We work longer and harder to keep up with the "Jones." We drive big SUVs and the need to get more makes us do a lot of things we shouldn't. If we originally came here for freedom , why are we all trying to get the same things. We came here because we wanted different things and we now all want the same things. To say we are all like this is a bit much, I suppose there are a few out there , who are happy with what they have and enjoy life. God knows not enough people are this way, but again would we be anywhere without this "Want for More? " I think not. Yes it has its downsides, but if it wasn't for wanting more we wouldn't have a lot of the simple things we need. Though Need can be taken differently today. We don't necessarily need electricity, but we are used to it and would highly prefer to not live without it. So all this actually has a point.. Hard to believe, but I am getting there. I will not say it is bad to want more or the same things as everyone else, but don't do it because everyone else does. If you personally want that new Ipod go get it. If you want it because all your friends have it ... might want to work on your priorities. I think we need to keep up the "Wanting More," but feel we need to make sure it is what we want and if there is something you want and don't have ... Work For IT. This whole lot of words came to me, as I was thinking of today's youth. There was a day when inventions were made that changed the world, there were people who stood up to change the world, and there were people who sacrificed it all to get it all. I do not want to live a life like everyone elses. I want to make a difference and be someone who changes what needs to be changed in someway or another. So I am calling all you Ben Franklins, George Washingtons , Martin Luther Kings, writers, inventors , artists, builders, and revolutionaries to stand up do what YOU WANT and make a difference. I want to see more differences made and opinions voiced. I can't say I or everyone/anyone will agree, but why should that stop you. I doubt everyone agrees with me, but here I am voicing things that pop in my head. I just want everyone to make sure they're all they can be. (Sorry for using the Slogan) If we really want to survive the next ice age, natural disaster, energy crisis, we need people with ideas to stand up and not only Want More, Expect More ! Comments are welcome even if you disagree.. please continue reading my blog and once again give me your opinion!
  21. Intros are never good.. like I said next will be more insulting any hopefully better..
