Theres a major problem with this...
It'l lead to mass bitching, some people will want to do the event. They'l go to Odins and genrally stand arround doing fuck all for an hour, during that time frame they'l probably be attacked by sombody who doesn't give a shit. Event people whine and bitch calling the 'no shit' people lamers, Lamers laugh at protesters, etc, etc...
Not that i'm saying you shouldn't do an event of some kind. Just don't expect me to participate and don't expect to recieve some kind of 'immunity' from those that couldn't give a damn and just want to play the game.
Just my opinion on it, terribly sorry if its not what you wanted to hear.

Meh, my cousins fighting in Basra. He gets paid to do it. He knows I support him 100%. Can't see the point to be honest.
The whining will far outweigh any good that could come of it.

Imo its stupid, too many people have different views.
I think what we are doing is wrong...
Its different in America, none-americas seem to have a more open mind, not just falling for the Bush and Blair properganda..

Teabags, i think thats somthing we can talk about. So anyway, i was in tesco's the other day and i was watching this shop guy putting up the new PG tips bags. I mean Pwarrr, it was boring as hell till he left but once he had. Boy do those bags ever come out to play.
...Lets face it, Politics, Religeon, Work are the most interesting conversation points. Why do i like my neighbour so much? because his opinions are almost always the total polar oposite of mine... Of course, because we live next door to each other and actually have these discussions face to face we're a lot more civil about it. However, with the anonimity the internet offers people generally don't treat each other in the same way.
Which brings me to the reason online relationships (Friend and otherwise) are so strange because you don't have the person infront of you, you can never be totally sure if he's joking or now. Its happened to me a few times, being the bias bastard i am i call SM's wusses a lot especially when their out of mana and melee (Bwahahaa!!) however a few days ago i called an SM a wuss and he left the group
Just goes to show even the best of intentions can screw up.
Anyway, why arn't i playing? i could be in malmo.... on the list...... and finally grinding towards level 50.... and...and........... screw that.

First of all: Dont live your life through the computer. If anything is lame here, it is acting political and supportive through a computer game. Get that behind out of the house and gather people irl instead.
You know that things have gone pretty wrong when you start doing EVERYTHING from that box of stupidity it really is. Doubt the troops down in Iraq will ever get to know that 1500 Gamers met at some place, somewhere in a game, to show their support. Dont think i would tell my brother that i went to some event in a game to show my support etc etc etc.
second: Why support the war? Because you have brothers/fathers/sisters/countrymen fighting it? Of course you care for their lives, but showing you support a totally meaningless war wont make things better for anyone. But whatever u do, make sure to stand up for it.
I can see that the thought behind it is good. but still... nah
Take care. See ya all in the frontier in a NON friendly way.

Uhmm I rarely swear on these forums, but I can safely say go fuck yourself you moron.
I don't agree with this war. Do you think that doesn't mean I can't support the troops out there who are paid to do a job? That's my cousin you prat.... do you really think I'm not going to give him my support. Jesus... uninformed idiots like yourself give anyone anti-war a bad name. Get an education.

Getting back to the the topic.....
It would be fun to get together and take screenies etc. but I doubt it would go off. Anyone remember a while back where somebody from the Excaliber server died, and people got together in the Emain bowl as rememberence? As I was told, the entire guild organising this in memory of their friend were ganked sitting down, and many more refused to fight.
If people can't stop and not fwap each other in the middle of a service for a dead fellow gamer, I doubt they'll for this idea.
Still sounds nice tho

Sounded like an ok idea but often these things descend into chaos and don't work out.
For those against our troops well I hope you get dragged out but your foreskins and shot in public.
I wasn't supporting the war at all and didn't want to get involved, but as soon as the fighting starts and we are at war I support my country and our soldiers 100% and I hope we kill Saddam asap.
In fact I don't know any Iraqis so I really couldn't give a shit if we just carpet bombed Baghdad and wiped the place. doesn't mean anything to me and if it means less coalition casualties then good.
Any pricks still saying 'get out of Iraq'... fuck off and die, why not go fight for Saddam Hussien if you love him so much. You're not welcome here.
Back on subject again, nice idea but I just don't think it would work... an hour is a very long time in a game like daoc to do nothing.

If Bush didn't go to war, Blair wouldn't have gone either.
That's the same view some anti-american extremist would've taken on Sept11. I'm guessing you didn't approve of the damage caused on that day, but why is it any different with Iraq?
Ignorance exceeds stupidity.

Works in theory
But does anyone remember the mermorial service we held for oggy when he died irl? So so so many people from all three realms turned up in emain and at first everything was cool.
Then Nolby pride showed up and killed everyone, look at some of the threads that came outta that. And there was a lot of anger from those that knew oggy, i.e. myself and everyone in Terra Dominus at the time. I just dont think it will work effectivley.

Well excuse my ignorance but I thought that WE ARE AT WAR! As I said I didn't agree with the principle of it but now that we are there I'm going to back my side 100%.
And what the fuck does the twin tower incident have to do with anything? Were America at war with Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaida back then? no.
In fact did anyone even know who Osama Bin Laden was before that day? I'm guessing at..... no.
Stop comparing 2 non-related issues with each other, so many people have done it and the simple fact is that unless everything has gone a bit skewiff, we're not after Osama Bin Laden in Iraq at present.
Your stupidity exceeds my ignorance.

True, some people put this game over real life as they know no better and have very few principles on life or death. If there's no realm points involved in being peaceful for a short period then there a lot of immature people out there who won't do it. And if there are a lot of realm points available via a large crowd standing around together peacefully, you can guarantee those immature people will find them and ruin it all.
