Well, until the Ghosts can sway my opinion, the memory I have from the past will stick. I WILL treat them as hostile and if they RP differently, well, then maybe I'll think differently.

Ghosts, consider yourself warned as I did NOT enjoy my experiences with you all before.

There are several questions for you.

1. How do the ghostships refuel?
2. Where do you dock?
3. How do pay for the fuel.
4. how do you aquire credits to pay for ship repairs, bot/bat refills,etc.

I am curious as to how your capship keeps running and suffers no damage? To understand look at what happened to the Apocalypse Wing once they were hostile to everyone, they were unable to dock anywhere.

Like I said a couple of questions and look forward to the answers.

Death Before Dishonour!
Honour above all!

There's nothing unscientific about the Phantoms. There's nothing unscientific about the Nomads either, although they certainly use technology human science is unable to grasp. Ghosts are, and consider their impact on our virtual universe. If they exist, certainly there has to be an afterlife, every human must have a soul, etc...all things we've so far either rejected or deliberately left ambiguous in our universe.

There are plenty of things that seem supernatural. For instance, psychic powers that are very well established in Freelancer.

More importantly, who's to say there isn't some sort of science behind what would appear to be a ghost or ghost-like? While I'm not sure the Ghost Ship idea here would reflect anything of the sort, the last I knew they also didn't fit into a real ghost idea.

Nomad psychic powers are only semi-supernatural. While humanity doesn't understand them, they are still subject to the laws of science. They also do not make assumptions regarding other supernatural concepts like ghosts do regarding souls and a life after death.

' Wrote:More importantly, who's to say there isn't some sort of science behind what would appear to be a ghost or ghost-like?

Well, as I've said before, I'm not totally opposed to ghost-like concepts. There's a lot you could do into this direction using Nomad/Daam K'Vosh technology. But borderline lolwut ghosts eating souls are just plain ridiculous and have no place on this server.

' Wrote:Just so its clear there will be only ONE osiris Ghost.Ship (ME) but not to say others wont join just not in ANY battleship. I told the few people who wanted to join to get a Bomber/Fighter or GB nothing Bigger!! Iam not an LOLgroup.

as for BLACKWIDOW well....lets just say the last time he played FL he was busy getting sanctioned and Banned so as far as this game goes he had enough. I would love to see him back but his attitude needs to change first so probably will never happen.

and lastly, Yes I am the Leader the one and only.

POPS OUT OF WOODWORK




Well well Just as Im thinkin about rejoining FL after a year of silence, I see this thread and am very proud of you Outlaw Star, I for one this time are happy for you to lead the ghostship group and as such ask for permission to rejoin the Ghostly Hoard.

***The taste for Flesh has come unto me, Souls I shall reap for Thee! Will yee have me Sire?***

On a sidenote a year ago I left the server due to uni reasons and donated my 1 Bill fortune to new players. So If Outlaw will have me back Ill fly the ghost tag on my Centurion HF, as I think if we are to be taken seriously all the ghosts if any in the ghost ship armada Cant ALL be in Capships! Wouldnt make RP sense as all types of corsair ships are shot down not only capships but fighters too, so naturally there must be ghost fighters bombers GB's etc besides Just using Osirise gives a sense of pvpwhorishness about us that we had before.

I hope all can welcome me back so i may turnover a new RP Leaf and this ghost rp could be a chance for me and us to do that!
Outlaw your here after all this time great too see ya, PM me all the latest news BRO:)

Cheers all Freddie Out:cool:

No actually its a coincidence, but great to see some of my old RP ideas still inspire. As usual Altaris is always negative, have faith you might just like it if done right!

Ghostly themes can easily be written into a scifi frame. Look at Zapp he RPs a dead outcast 101st pilot now turned ghost Vince.Piccio[101st], and has rped it very well. So it does fit just depends how you tell the story;)

I never intended to RP with Ghost, even with Zapp's. I never did, and I never will. It is easy to ignore his Ghost RP, and talk about his "Ghost" Talk as communication interference. If you want to RP lolghost, so be it. But dont expect me to RP along with you.

Science fiction?

BSG is science fiction no? Yet, in the new version you had Starbuck.....who died, came back, the mysteriously vanished at the end of the series. You also have the two characters that bothered/guided Baltar and Six. Then appeared on Earth in present time. One could call Starbuck a ghost, it simply depends on the person making the call.

Your idea of science fiction =/= everyone else's. Get. That. Through. Your. Head.

Quote:But the majority of our roleplaying playerbase is here to RP within a science fiction universe (and would never accept ghosts as canon RP), and most of them also share my belief that ghosts belong into a fantasy world, not the semi-scientific world of Discovery.

Also. Try not to make false claims like this. You, nor I, know what the majority of the playerbase would accept ghosts on the server. You don't know if most of them share your belief that ghosts aren't part of science fictions.

Its statements like that, that make you look like your grasping at straws.

As for you claiming Ghosts don't exist......while I myself don't believe in them I dare you to provide concrete proof that they don't exist. At one time in human history we thought the Earth was the center of the universe, we thought it was flat. Not until we could prove otherwise did the majority of us believe otherwise. There are always things in this world we cannot validate with science and fact, as we aren't intelligent enough to understand all the mysterious of our universe yet. Ghosts could indeed exist, we just don't understand them. I find the fact you claim to be a Science Fiction nut yet you can't open you mind rather.......contradicting.


Quote:But borderline lolwut ghosts eating souls are just plain ridiculous and have no place on this server.

You aren't Igiss. Try not to speak as if you were. Until he or the admins step in and say it has no place, Outlaw and crew can RP to their hearts desire.

Now. You Ghost bunch. Can we get some forum RP and a higher level of in game RP than last time you were active? I'd also suggest you actually ally with someone somehow as you will be short lived if you follow Apoc Wing's 'I piss on everyone' attitude.
